Students No Longer Need to Rush to Football Games to Get Good Seats When the Illinois team arrives next Saturday, there will be three thousand or more students who will not have to leave home in the fore noon to get the most desirable seats in the Stadium. Instead, every one of the students will have a reserved ticket and will know the seat will be kept for him until he is ready to en ter the Stadium and see the opening game of the season. Not only this provision but several other provisions have been made by the athletic department for the ac commodation of the students at the football games. Feeling that the games are essentially for the stu dents, the management made spe cial concessions to see that the stu dents were given the best tickets; that no outsiders got into the stu dent section to hurl unsportsmanlike remarks at the visiting players and let the blame fall uyan the Nebraska rooters; and that every person in the Nebraska section could be de pended upon to give the team unfal tering support Taking a blue print of the Stadi um, John K. Selleck, business agent Fraternity Freshmen Attend Smoker Friday Freshmen from all of the fraternities were entertained at smoker Friday evening, at the Kappa Sigma fraternity house. A short talk on what students should gain from University was given by Dean Eng berg. Preceding Dean Engberg's talk an orchestra, composed mostly of Kappa Sigma's, played several pieces.

G, Clapp, professor of physical educa tion, were appointed to draw up a resolution expressing the deep regret of the faculty at the death of Max Westerman, assistant finance secre tary of the University, and for thirty- five years conected with the finance department at a meeting of the Uni versity Senate held Saturday mon ing at 10 o'clock in Chemistry Hall 207. Two committees to investigate the general scholastic standings were ap pointed. One will make recommen dations in regard to the general re quirements of fraternal organigations other will advise in matters connected with the scholastic standings and re- quirments of fraternal organizations on the campus. CHEERLEADERS ARE APPOINTED Two Freshmen Added to For mer Staff Following Try outs Last Week. Nebraska's cheerleading staff will be comprised of six yell foremen dur ing the coming year, it was an nounced by the committe of Inno cents following the cheerleading try- outs last week. Nicholas Amos, for mer Omaha Central leader, and Don ald Woerner, University Place, were selected freshman cheerleaders. The judges said, in choosing the two freshmen, that after their one year annrenticeshiD they will be better fitted to fill vacancies next year. The veteran yell leaders who wui aeain be seen in action are Duke Gleason, Bill Bradley, Phil Sidles and Bus Owens. Professor Brooks, '92 Pays Alma Mater Visit (University News Service.) Prof. William Brooks. '92. now head of one of the engineering de partments of the University of Min nesota,' visited the University this week. He was graduated with Chan cellor Avery when there were only two buildings on the campus Uni versity Hall and the present Pharm acy Hall, then the Chemistry Build ing and when cows were grazing on the campus. R. O. T. C. Will Drill In Armistice Parade (University News Service.) The first assembly of the R. O. T. C. unit of the University of Nebras ka will be held on Armistice Day. National and regimental colors will be presented to the freshmen at this time. Every cadet will be required to participate In the Armistice Day parade. ' of the athletic department, cut out the very heart of the east stand and oalled it the student section. So that no student would be too far at one end of the field, he did not extend the section farther than the 20-yard line in either direction, and to group up the section as much as possible he twenty-second rows. If the demand would extend from the first to the announced that the block of seats becomes too heavy, the section will lap over into and absorb some of the seats reserved for outsiders. The Wesleyan-Simpson game, the homecoming game for Wesleyan, will be played in the Stadium, and all holders of student tickets will be ad mitted to this game as well as the four Cornhusker games. And then to grant other concessions, the ath letic department voted all those who bought tickets the free use of the tennis courts for the entire year. These provisions, plus the score or more athletic . contests, have been carefully planned to give the Ne braska student an opportunity to en joy every athletic event on the Corn husker schedule.

First All-University Party Well-attended Anroximatelr 650 students attend ed tP All-University party held Sat urday evening in the Armory.

Need 25 More Ushers For Illinois Contest A call for twenty-five more ushers for the Illinois game was issued Sat urday bv the military department Al though 816 applications had been re ceived and the filings closed Friday, the large crowd expected for the ini tial tame made the addition of more ushers necessary. Applications will be received until 10:30 at Nebraska hall Monday. . . . f ' 1 Hfc.-atjlm. T mm Innocents Want No Singing in Classes The following statement was is sued yesterday morning by the In nocents, toniip honorary society! An erroneous announcement was made Friday in The Daily Nebraskan that singing in classes to work up spirit for the Illinois game should start at once. Such announcement was premature. Aside from interfering sciously with regular class work, if tinging is stalled now it will serve to bring tho climax of enthusiasm early in tho week instead of Friday and Saturday when they should be reached. The Innocents have asked the University authorities to allow singing in the classrooms Friday. No action has been taken yet, ac cording to Executive Dean Eng berg. The heartiness with which you comply with this request will be evidence of your loyalty to the Scarlet and Cream. THE INNOCENTS.

TICKETS GO ON SALE TOMORROW Expect Long Line in Front of Booth East of University Hall In Morning. MANY ORGANIZATIONS WILL SIT TOGETHER Student athletic tickets go on sale Monday morning at 8 o'clock in the both east of University hall. The sale wil continue through the week. Members of the committee in charge expect a large line to be pres. ent when sale begins. Fraternities, sororities and other organizations are planning to reserve blocks of seats so that the members may sit together. Representatives of these organiza tions who make reservations first will have the choice of seats. The stu dent section is from 20-yard line to 20-yard line and the first to twenty-second row. The tickets admit the bearers to all athletic events of the University dur ing the year 1924-25, including foot ball, basketball, baseball, track and wrestling, and also give the privilege of using the University tennis courts. The ordinary cost of buying tickets to these events would be $30. By paying $7.50 for a student ticket, the students saves $22.50 or three fourths of the ordinary cost. The seats are reserved for all games this season. The idea of the student ticket is so well understood by students and its advantages are so widely realized that no solicitation is necessary, those in charge of the sale believe. No difficulty has been encountered in selling the tickets in the past; on the contrary they have been so popular that many not eligible to hold them have bought them. Precaution is being taken this year to prevent outsiders from buying the tickets. Some of the rules are as fol lows: 1. All students must present regis tration slips when buying tickets to prove that they are actually register ed in the University. In case these slips are' lost certified copies may be obtained at the office of the re gistrar. 2. All organizations must have pre sented the names of members who in tended to buy tickets for the organi zation's special section before 5 o' clock Friday evening. The mere re porting of names is not reserving seats, though, and the reservation for the organization's special section must be made by some representative who may buy the tickets when the sale opens. Every organization is doing what it can to aid in the selling. A com mittee has been appointed for each day; a separate group taking charge of each day's sales. The members of these committees are being announc ed in The Daily Nebraskan. Commit tee members are asked to report to General Chairman Monroe D. Gleason at the ticket booth as early as possible on the day on which they are to serve. No seats in the student section will be reserved before Monday morning. Three hundred seats, in a block in the center of the student section, are set aside for the special cheering sec tion which will be organized. This sec tion will lead the cheering and will be specially drilled. The other seats will be grouped around it and with the special cheer ing section as a nucleus it is expected that a well-organized student group can be gathered this year. This is the chief reason for the special precautions against outsiders getting student tickets. It has been found that outsiders disorganize the students and the cheering, and as real pep will be needed for the stiff games Nebraska has scheduled, a good vol ume of noise is wanted. TEH LAW STUDENTS GET SCHOLARSHIPS Those Who Promise to Be of Service to State Selected Recently. Scholarships amounting to the fee in the College of Law have been awarded for 1924-25 to ten students who promise to be of service to the state and who are partly self-supporting.
