Campaign for Subscriptions
To Daily Nebraskan
Is Extended
PRICE IS $2 PER YEAR
Announcement was made late
Saturday afternoon that The Daily
Nebraskan subscription campaign
which has been in progress for the
last week, would be continued un
til Thursday, October 4.
The Daily Nebraskan, as most
people have already noticed, is a
much different paper this year than
last. It is now an eight column
rather than seven column paper,
and new type faces add greatly to
the attractiveness.
The subscription price is $2 a
year, $3 by mail, or 1.25 a semes
ter. Book Stores Distribute.
The College Book store and Co
Op store on the city campus, and
Tillman's drug store across from
the College of Agriculture campus
will be the distributing centers for
the paper. Faculty members, how
ever, will receive their copies
through the university mail, and be
fore 7 o'clock on the same day the
paper is published.
Although some reports have not
yet been turned in, most, fraterni
ties and sororities have bought
blocks. One hundred per cent sup
port is expected from the Greek
letter societies.
The Tassels, honorary women's
pep organization, covered the cam
pus in uniform yesterday, and will
continue their drive Jhis week.
Each member is given "a tRg which
he is asked to wear, as this shows
he has bought his subscription to
the school paper.
Pledges Line U p
In Shifts to Get
Athletic Tickets
Ten years from now fraternity
freshmen will start lining up in the
spring to buy football tickets the
fniinwtnir fall. If vou doubt it ask
the Acacia freshman who went
over at 7 o'clock Thursday evening
tn eet first clace in line only thir
teen hours before the ticket sale
started.
Youth is ingenious. Who but
college students would think of
sending freshmen over for an hour
at a time during the whole night
to keep a place in line? Last year
the Delta Zetas won first place and
the Betas second by going over at
2 o'clock the same morning. The
year before it was 6 o'clock. Fig
ure that out on your piano. If It's
as dusty as the Kappa piano, and
you will reach the same conclusion
we did.
Long Line Forms.
At 7:30 o'clock Friday morning
a line had been formed from the
door to the Student Activities of
fice across the Coliseum lloor,
around the corner, and back
towards the stage. It's getting as
bad as 8 o'clocks in Social
Sciences. You know how crowds
collect around there.
Freshmen report that it wasn't
so bad. They went up In the "N
Club" and played cards. As soon
as their relief came they went
home and pounded the pillow until
morning. Alarm clocks received
special attention through the night,
alarming each hour.
Some fraternities attempted to
be chivalrous and buy sorority
blocks, too, In order that their fair
friends might get the beauty sleep
which nature requires. This kind
act might merit the respect and
gratitude of the sorority, but it
didn't get to first base with the
ticket officials. We don't know yet
from Just where the Delta Gam
mas are going to see the games.
Judging from the number of Theta
freshmen out for activity points oh
the Nebraskan they will sit in the
press box.

Professor Fling Relates Experiences
During His Trip Abroad This Summer
Faculty Member Says Going -
To Europe la Opportunity
To Work With First-Hand
Knowledge.
"There seems to bo a general
Idea that when a professor of
European history "goes to Eur6pe,
he Is taking a vacation," says
Professor F. M. Fling, who has
just returned from an all summer's
trip to Europe, "but It Is his op
portunity for work. Here he can
get in touch with the life of the
people and gain first-hand know
ledge of what takes place.
"He can examine the literature
that, fills the shelves of the Paris
book stores. He can attend thea
ters, study latest art, and hear in
spiring music. These opportuni
ties may all come to the professor
abroad, and cannot be substituted
on this side.
"As an illustration on books, I
brought a hundred volumes back
with me. These were on history
proper, art, literature, music, phil
osophy, and religion, and were
read in part or in whole before
sailing. All this has direct bear
ing on my course in history of
civilization."
Professor Fling also did some
special research work on the
French Revolution and Mlrabeau.
This was done In the Archives of
Foreign Affairs, in the National
Contlntirri on I'Rfte 4.

S LARGEST IN HISTORY
John K. Selleck Declares
Demand Surpasses That
Of Former Years
Friday's sale of student activities
tickets was the largest in the his
tory of the university, according to
a statement made yesterday after
noon, by John K. Selleck.
The sale of the tickets began at
8:00 o'clock Friday morning. The
freshmen were on hand at the
doors of the Student Activities of
fice at 7:00 o'clock Thursday eve
ning, and about fifty men spent the
night there waiting for the doors of
the office lo open.
A much greater number had
made their appearance at 4:00
o'clock in the morning, and by !:i0
o'clock there was a line formed
that extended through the front
lobby and about half way down the
west lobby of the coliseum.
By noon Friday the greater part
of the tickets were sold, but there
are still tickets to be had by stu
dents, both in the rooting section
and in the regular student section.
A scheme of distributing the
tickets by a lottery system, and
doing away with the conditions
that have existed in the part in re
gard to the buying the tickets has
been devised by the Athletic Of
fice, and perhaps it will be put
Into use.
