Local Campus Among First To Support National Consumers Drive. BURNETT GIVES SANCTION Other University Officials Believe Movement Worth Student Effort. Early indications pointing to full fledged auDDort from faculty and administrative heads, as well as from the student body, plans for a campus wide drive to secure the pledges to the NRA consumers campaign inaugurated yesterday. The Nebraska campus, getting behind a nationwide movement all over the country to get individual support of the NRA consumers Hrive will h one of the few colleee campi to support the national ad ministration in its campaign iu get. the entire country behind the stores and businesses flying the hinp pflfl emblem. The consumer's card is merely a pledge which, when signed, is in tended to bind the signer to pa tronize only the merchants and business men who are co-operating with the government in the Na tional Recovery Act. Chancellor E. A. Burnett has in dicated his sanction of the move ment in that he offered his ap proval and willingness to back up the plan. The dean of student affairs, T. J. Thompson feels that such a drive is a good idea and would doubtless ly ho ennrt thin? inasmuch s it would be in step with the efforts of the government in its campaign for industrial recovery. LeRossignol Approves. "The idea can certainly do no harm and Will probably do a great deal of good," said J. E.

He said that no magazines will be delivered to houses not having subscriptions at the date of pub lications. "Members of the houses should decide whether to subscribe or not. In order that they will know when the time comes to subscribe." asserted Sorenson. Bloca of twenty-five magazines will sell for twenty dollars. NEBRASKA VVtl BACK NRA COD REPORTS SHOW AWGWAN SALES DRIVE Men's Cut Budgets Demand Altered Social System; Women Display Wide Variety of Ideas on 'Dutch Dates9 Foremost in the program of the S. R. A. (Social Revival Act) is a plan for "Dutch dating." Whether this system of having the young woman share the expense of the entertainment is the most effective stimulus that may be in jected into social activities is still a moot question. It is generally conceded about the campus that there is less dat ing this year than usual, and this condition is readily attributed to the reduced budgets of the young men. To alter the octal program along more inexpensive lines meets with general disapproval, but it leaves the problem as to who will foot the bill. If the customary type of entertainment is to be contin ued. How the young women look up on this In ovation is the most perti nent factor to be considered, and at present they seem to be some what divided in their opinions. 1 think that the idea la O.

I E Schedule Jungbluth's Band For Second Party This Year. FIVE MORE ARE BOOKED All arrangements . have been completed for the All University party which is to be held in the Coliseum Saturday night.

This Lincoln band was featured during that time over the NBC chain thru station KOA at Denver, key station in the western division of the system. During previous vacation periods for the past few years, this orchestra played at Troutdale-In-Tbe-Pines, another famous resort in the Colo rado Rockies.

Collegiate Digest is a section ex ( Continued on Page 4.) and she will stand more of a chance." Others, who perhaps lacked the foresight of Miss Perry, were less enthusiastic about the idea, and most of them were a bit skeptical about its practicability. A dogmatic '1 should say not!" was the opinion given by Ruth Mc Farland, freshman. Louise Driskill voiced her ap proval, as did Lois Rath burn, who said, "Good idea, if it works. I think it would be lots of fun." Alaire Barkes expressed her at titude by saying, "I think it a good idea, if the fellows get the idea out of their heads that they were gigolos because tbey did." The only tangible precedent H the matter that can be considered Is the Mortar Board party, which has been held during the past two years. The success of these af fairs might be attributed to the novelty of the Idea, however. Such a revolutionary departure from social traditions as this sys tem would Involve has many phases to be considered. The psy chological aspect is not one of the least of these.

By an almost unanimous vote of the students registered. Prof. R. P. Crawford's class in magazine arti cle writing, given regularly on Ag campus for more than ten years, has been transferred to the city campus. Thursday the class met in Social Science building, the first meeting in its new location. "The most astounding thing about the vote of the class," ac cording to Prof. Crawford, "was that even Ag college students voted to move the class to the city campus." Crawford pointed out that in recent years upperclassmen form ag college have a great deal more of their elective studies on the city campus, and that some of them actually had to cosie out to the Ag campus for the class. Economic Eliment Enters In. "Another factor entering into the cbange." Crawford said, "is that a large number of students from down town take the course every year, while the number of A x students kas shown some de crease. The enrolment in the course is predominatnly from down town, and. Limes being as they are, some I ci th students went stctiuCy! NEBRASKAN SALES CAMPAIGN REACH NEW HIGH RECORD Thinks Year's Subscription Drive Most Successful In History. BOOTHS TO DISTRIBUTE Solicitors Busy on Campus Throughout Week's Activity. That the most successful sub scription campaign in the history of the Daily Nebraskan will come to a close Saturday night is the optimistic belief of Bernard Jen nings, business manager of the publication. The drive started Monday morning of this week and will end tomorrow. Subscription sales to members of the faculty, to individual stu dents, and block subscriptions to organized houses on the campus will far exceed the marks set in previous campaigns, Jennings be lieves. While the sales yesterday were lighter than the previous day's record, the total for the week will run considerably higher than the total sales for last year. Jennings said. The present figures, which are somewhat incomplete, will give almost complete coverage of the campus, he stated. Regular sales booths have been maintained all week in Social Sci ence hall, in the finance office in Ag hall on the ag campus, and in the office of the Daily Nebraskan. In addition a corps of twenty-five solicitors has been assisting the editorial and business staffs of the publication in selling subscriptions. The primary reason for the large sales is the fact that the system of distribution thru the bookstores and other agencies will be discontinued this year, Jennings declared. Copies of the paper will be available only at the regular distribution booths or thru block subscriptions. ANNUAL STAFF LIST Present Appointments Not Permanent Declares Editor Magee. With the personnel of the year book staff nearly completed, eli gibility of the applicants is being checked before release of the com plete list Sunday, according to a bulletin received from Woodrow Magee. editor of the year book, yesterday.

"They are by no means permanent" Those whose names are not in cluded on the list will be given ao equal opportunity to be placed on the permanent list to be formu lated about a month from now, ac cording to the editor of the annual. "Those who have been trying out for staff positions should not feel discouraged if their name does not appear on the list, as tbey will have as good a chance as anyone of making the staff in its perma nent form." stated Magee.

Crawford expressed regret that removal of the course from the Ag campus might make it difficult for some of the Ag students, perhaps interested in the course for its nat ural value, to attend. "I'd like to have seen the course remain on the campus." he said, "but with almost the entire class voting for the change, there was nothing else to do." The work of the magazine arti cle course, according to Crawford, consists first of study of the kinds of subjects that may be developed into saleable articles. The students are required to dig up a number of subjects and the possibilities of each subject are discussed in class. The remainder of the semester is given to developing full sized fea ture article, rewriting and refining it and then attempting to get it accepted by a publisher. The text used Is Crewfords own book on that subject, published tw years ago. ' "Many of my students are able to sell their articles to magazines . and newspapers." Crawford said. "Of course, sale of the articles has ben more difficult the last two or three years." As to the quality of the work done by Ag students and those from the city campus, Craw ford said that there was so CSiet-ence, COMPLETION
