The Daily Nebraskan Pay Your Stadium Pledge! Pay Your Stadium Pledge! VOL. XXIV NO. 27. REGENTS ASK HIGHER LEVY Board Wants (Minimum Raised to One-Fifth of a Mill for Ten Years. PUBLISH PAMPHLET TO DISTRIBUTE IN STATE If adequate educational facilities ire to be provided students, the Uni versity of Nebraska must have, for the next ten-year period, a minimum levy of one-fifth of a mill, declares the board of Regents in a statement just issued, which will be published soon in pamphlet form for distribu tion to alumni, taxpayers, and other interested persons. In a comprehen sive survey of the growth from a small college to a great University, of its rapid expansion, of the service it is rendering to the state and to the taxpayers, the booklet outlines the needs of the University and suggests how these may be best taken care of. In ten years the enrollment of the University has more than doubled, while its appropriations have increas ed only one-third. "Now and then it is desirable," the foreward states, "that the Board of Regents and the officers of the Uni versity should take stock of their own instiutions, and its needs. This holders the people of the state with the dividends it is paying, the economy with which it is carrying on its own affairs compared with other institutions, and its needs, ffl This stock-taking has been a revelation to the Board. It takes a just pride in passing these facts on to its stock holders. It believes no other institu tion has done as much with its money as has the University of Nebraska." Practice Strict Economy. Only by the utmost economy has the University been able to get along so far, the report says. Omaha has expended more money on high school buildings than the University has spent for all the buildings of the Uni versity in fifty years. An eastern university has erected dormitories far its freshman class which cost practi cally as much as our University has expended for buildings in the last " fifty1 years." The entire cost of the College of Medicine buildings at Omaha is only a little more than Iowa has appropriated yearly for its medi cal school buildings the last five years. "The University of Nebraska asks nothing for itself. People sometimes speak of what the University wants. The University is an impersonal sort of thing and wants nothing. It is what you want. If your children are to have an education, the University must have equipment with which to do the work," declares the Board. Give Statistic. The registration of the University is outlined in ten-year periods: 1871 72, 130; 1881-82, 284; 1891-92, 883; 1901-02, 2,298; 1911-12, 3,b57; 1921-22, 8,196; 1923-24, 10,352. In 1903-05, 4,475 students attended the University and they were educated at a cost to the state of $166 per stu dent; in 1913-15, 8,722 students were educated at a cost of $280 for each student; and in 1923-25 the enroll ment is 21,000 and the actual amount appropriated by the legislature for each student is $155. "It seems almost unbelievable that with a registration of approximately two and a half times that of ten years ago, the appropriations have increased only a third," the pamphlet states. With the average cost of educating a student in a collegiate course in twenty-five state educational institu tions in 1923 was $281.44, Nebraska accomplished it for $159.32. Among these twenty-five institutions Ne braska with one exception educated its students at the lowest cost per student Out of twenty-three state universities, Nebraska had next the largest number of students per in structor, the booklet reports. 10,000 Havo Graduated. The accomplishments of the Uni versity are also outlined. More than 12,000 degrees have been granted, representing over 10,000 graduates, many of them leaders in their com munities and some of them world famous men and women. Approxi mately 15,000 patients, many of them poor and needy people, have been cared for at the University hos pital at the College of Medicine in Omaha. The dispensary departments of thn Cnllpm of Medicine Lave 25, 000 visits a year. Experimental and extension work of the College of Agriculture have increased the in come of the farmers of the state more than $26,000,000 every year, or six times the total amount spent for all University buildings in the last fifty years. For eve.-y dollar of tax money, ap proximately only two and one-half cents now goes to the .University. The program suggested by the Board (Continued en Paga Three.)

"Hurricane" comes direct from New York where it finished a highly successful run in spite of con trary predictions by critics. "The White Peacock," written by Miss Petrova, played in Lincoln last year starring her. This play and "Hurricane" are her best known plays. "Miss Petrova is an emotional ac tress of great ability," said A. L. Erickson, '25, Lincoln, business man ager of the University Players. "Her work on the stage has been success ful and she is known to be one of America's leading actresses. She has also done some work in moving pic tures." UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI Frank S. Land, founder of the order of De Molay, is attending the state conclave at Columbia. Were Introduced that the customary fist fight took place. Many injuries, of course, re sulted from each class encounter, and many complaints were received at Nebraska as well as many other universities where the custom was prevalent The Olympics were insti tuted to replace this and "hazing," a custom under which at certain times the sophomores attacked any fresh men that happened to be near. Originally the Olympics were fought for an object exactly opposite to that of today. It was then the cus tom for both freshman and sopho more classes to wear class caps. The nntrnma of the Olympics decided which group should discard the head gear. If the freshmen lost they were forced to burn their numeral caps, but if they won, they were allowed to continue wearing them. The first year men have won the contest every year but one, the con test of 1909-10, when the class of 1913 l"st to the class of 1914. Y.W.C.A.

SORORITIES TO ENTER CONTEST To Sell Tags During One-Day Campaign to Send Band to Notre Dame. WANT EACH STUDENT TO GIVE TEN CENTS A number of sororities have an nounced their intentions of entering the contest to collect the greatest sum of money toward sending the band to Notre Dame, according to the chairman of the campaign. The sorority turning in the greatest sum of money will be fiven a special con cert by the band as a reward for their services to the University. Sending the band to Notre Dame will make Nebraska represented by approximately five hundred students besides the alumni that will be in South Bend for the game. Down town stores will send one hundred and twenty-five students, the band will be composed of forty or more pieces, many students will go by train, and some are already talking of driving through according to re ports. In the one-day campaign, it is hoped that each person will give ten cents. It is entirely optional wheth er anyone contributes to the fund or not but as plans now stand, the committee feels that Nebraska spirit will prompt everyone to' help send our band to Notre Dame. The an nual game with the Irish is always the most important game on the Husker schedule. By defeating the Notre Dame team twice in succes sion, Nebraska established a prece dent, and now to defeat the South Benders on their own field would es tablish the superiority of the Corn husker team over the Irish. Will Help Rooters. The band plus the large number of students would make a lively rooter section for the Cornhuskers to fos ter fighting spirit in South Bend, the chairman stated. Students will be given tags Wednesday to show that they have contributed toward sending the band to South Bend. Sorority girls will solicit for one day only, the results being announced at noon, at the close of the day, and in the Daily Ne braskan the next morning. The win ning sorority will then be given the privilege of naming the day and hour when the band will give the con cert. William T. Quick, director, stated that most any time would be perfectly agreeable to the members of the band. RAIN INSURANCE NOT CARRIED Athletic Department Drops Practice Used Last Year. No rain insurance is being carried by the athletic department on the football games thi3 fall. This insur- ce was carried last year, but proved too expensive, amounting from ten to twenty per cent of the gate receipts, depending on the rain fall that was insured against and the hours for which it was carried. Rain last year cut down the re ceipts from the Nebraska-Missouri game, but it did not come at the hours covered by the policy, so noth ing was recovered. ' Promise Numerous For Military Carnival, November 8 Latest reports from Nome and Monte Carlo indicate that there will be plenty of faro games and roulette wheels running November 8, the night of the military carnival in the Arm ory. Lieutenant John Kellogg, in charge of the gambling devices, nromises that everyone will win and that every game will cost but a small sum. "Klondyke" currency will flow freely for those who have the winning fever and the Pi Beta Phi bar-maids will serve the thirsty until the official decree declares that another Univer sity party must come to a close. For those who believe that Captain Kidd never had a barrel of money, there will be more than a barrel full HUSKERS CONQUER KANSAS IN HARD FOUGHT CONTEST Robertson and Collins Make Touchdown for Nebraska in Third Quarter and Starr Counts for Jayhawkers in Fourth, Making Score 14-7. 500 NEBRASKANS AMONG (Special to the Daily Nebraskan.) UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. LAWRENCE. Kas., Oct. 25. Fourteen thousand howling down to defeat here this afternoon because a young man irom Nebraska, Rob Roy Robertson, scooped up a Jayhawker fumble and raced thirty yards to a touchdown. This bit of opportunity provided Nebraska with seven points which proved to be the margin needed for a 14 to 7 victory. Perhaps Nebraska played slightly better football but the 500 Cornhuskers who were present were exceedingly content with a seven point margin. It was a determined Jayhawk squad, stung by three con secutive defeats, that came on the field this afternoon, deter mined to beat Nebraska or die trying. While matters naraiy came to this condition, the Kansans gave all they had. Had they received the breaks instead might have been different. KANSAS OBSERVES HOMECOMING DAY Fraternities and Sororities Decorate Their Houses for Annual Event. (Special to The Daily Nebraskan.) University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, October 25. The University of Kansas observed its anual Home coming Day today with fraternity and sorority houses decorated for the returnign "grads" and Cornhusker visitors. The Nebraska-Kansas foot ball game was the main attraction. Greek letter organizations were busy entertaining Kansas alumni and Ne braska visitors. At the game five hundred Corn husker rooters massed on the fifty yard line rose to their feet with a yell for the team when it trotted on the field at 1:53. A few minutes before the Kansas supporters had sent crashing across the gridiron the famous "Rock Chalk,, Jay Hawk, K. U." chant Organizations Entertain. Entertainment between the halve was provided by the Jay Janes, Kan sas women's pep organization, Ku Klux chapter of Pi Epsilon Pi, and the Nebraska Tassels and Corncobs. The four organizations marched to the center of the field and set afloat scarlet, blue, and cream balloons. The balloons floated thirty yards above the field and were held in for mation by strings running to the four corners of the stands. The Corncobs, Nebraska chapter of Pi Epsilon Pi, marched around the field chanting, "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, We'll Get You." The ninety piece Kansas band, half in scarlet jerseys and half in blue, formed a semi-circle in front of the Nebraska section and played Kansas and Ne braska songs. Another diversion was provided by letter men forcing freshmen who had broken university rules to run a gauntlet of paddles. Night Classes Have Enrollment of 220 Night classes conducted by the Ex tension Division now have a total en rollment of 220, not including the students in the courses in fine arts.

UNIVERSITY OF INDIANA Forty men are required to keep the campus in shape. It is considered the second most beautiful one in this country. y s V Gambling Devices there for them to see, and more than that, to buy at reduced prices. Policemen for the occasion asked that it be announced that guns be parked outside. Those feeling vic ious will be furnished knives. The reason being, according to the chief, that the discharge of the guns will disturb the gentle peace of the even ing. A special dispensation has been granted by authorities so that kegs of quality may be brought on the campus that night and sold at the bar. Real Spanish dancing, interpreted by the Pi Phis, will be a feature of the en tertainment while the Kandy Kids' or chestra will offer musical numbers arranged especially for the carnival. PRICE 6 CENTS 14,000 FANS AT THE GAME Jayhawk fans saw their team go of the Huskers, the Btory Nebraska Scores. Early in the second half, after a half hour's football in which the teams battled on even terms, Rob ertson performed his act. The sud denness of this crushing break in the game seemed to stunt the Jayhawk ers. They lined up to kick off to the Huskers, and before they had re covered, Rhodes shot a long pass to Collins, which gained the Huskers sixty-seven yards and a touchdown when he ceased traveling. Several Kansas men tried to stop him, but 'twas too late. Harold Zuber, 212-pound left half back who is playing his first year of varsity football was the Kansas -star. Zuber tossed passes with dis concerting frequency and accuracy and acquitted himself as well as any other Jayhawk back in carrying the ball. Zuber should be a Missouri Valley star before he receives his diploma. Roland Locke, the speed king, was the star of the game in running with the ball. The work of "Choppy" Rhodes in plunging through the line was notable but Locke was the only gridster who dazzled in the open field. Locke was sent in for A. Mandery in the last quarter. During the time he was in, he carried the ball on almost every play. Among his accomplishments was a' 30-yard run, which came near being a dash the length of the field for a touch down. Thrills Numerous. The game was filled with climax after climax. Just as the first half ended, Bloodgood tossed a 27-yard pass to R. Mandery. The gun end ing tht half sounded as the pass was in the air. Mandery caught the pass, but ran out of bounds on the Kansas 3-yard line. Kansas' touchdown came as the result of a pass good for twelve yards from Zuber to Starr, substitute halfback. The score was made in the last minute of play and the pass was completed on the fourth down. Numerous fumbles marked the game. The failure of Quarterback Hodges to catch Bloodgood's punt safely accounted for Robertson's touchdown, and fumbles balked the drives of both teams. The Huskers were able to make more consistent gains on line drives than the Jayhawkers, altho there was nothing of the steam roller in the Nebraskan drives. Kansas attempted twenty-four for ward passes and completed half of them for gains totaling 163 yards. Nebraska completed three out of nine attempts for gains of 137 yards, not far short of their opponents' rec ord. The first of the first quarter de veloped into a kicking dual between Zuber and Bloodgood, with neither having any great advantage. Zuber passed to Captain Burt for fourteen yards but was thrown on the next play for a ten-yard loss. Zuber tried to pass, but Molzen broke thru and tackled him. Runs by Zuber and Hart and a pass brought the ball to Nebraska's 25-yard line. On the fourth down Captain Burt tried a kick from placement on the 33-yard line, but the kick went wild. Half Ends. More punting followed with neith er team having any material advan tage. Later Kansas took the ball on its 41-yard line and carried it to Nebraska's 18-yard line, where an other pass was grounded behind the goal line for a touchback. The half ended with Nebraska in possession of the ball on Kansas' 3-yard line as the result of a pass to R. Mandery. Nebraska carried the ball down the field at the beginning of the second half until Rhodes fumbled and Mul lins, Kansas tackle, recovered. More punting followed, until Hodges, missed Bloodgood's punt and the ball went to Robertson. After the lat ter's touchdown, A. Mandery kicked goal. Nebraska took the ball on its 28 yard line on the kickoff and carried it past the middle of the field and then received a pei.alty. Rhodes (Continued on Page Two.)
