Next Monday will mark the first anniversary of the rebirth of An old university tradition.

The following Monday, Sept. 26, will be the first day of official friendliness between upperclassmen and new students. "Hello" will be the .word of the day from that time until the end of the week, and no sophomore, junior, or senior may pass with out it.

In other large schools throughout the country it is an event of long standing, looked forward to with, a great deal of satisfaction.

Hayes, director of the Y. M. C. A. announced yes terday. Work on the publication will probably be completed about the first of November. James D. Crabill. Red Cloud, freshman in the college of law, was appointed business manager of the publication this year. Crabill served as editor of the directory last yar. Dick Moran, Omaha, junior in the college of arts ami science, will act as editor of the directory. He was an associate e 1itor last year. Several bids for the printing of the directory are being considered at the present time, according to Crabill, but the contract has not been definitely let. It will probably be. awarded within the next few days, the business manager stated. The lists for the directory are compiled from the registration cardu stating religious affiliations or preferences. The cards will be alphabetized, typed, and then sent to the printer and later to the tele phone company for corrections. Thu book will be approximately the same size as it has been in the last few years, the business man ager declared yesterday.

WIDE Rl NDSHIP Canvass of Campus Opinion Shows New Set Rushing Rules Approved A hasty canvass of campus opinion in regard to the new set of rush rules proposed by the Inhrtniternity council for use by fraternities indicated entirely unanimous approval for the proposed plan or at least for .similar rules. The Daily .Ne braskan interviewed not only men who will be chiefly con cerned with the new rules, and who are familiar with the de fects of the old system, but alsoO ' representative campus women who are accustomed to similar set of rules In use by sororities on the campus at fSe present time. Faculty members who have been Intimately connected with student activities and have constant touch with the fraternity rushing sys tem also heartily approved of the proposed system. The rules, according to Jack Thompson, president of the Inno cent's society and one of the spon sors of the new set of rules, are aimed to eliminate what is clearly recognized to be a chaotic situa tion at present. The new rules he believes, will eliminate the most important objections to the old system. Rushing under the new system will start a day earlier than under the system now in use and will continue a day longer. The com mittee proposing the rules believe that at present the time for rush ing Is too short to allow either rushee or fraternity to become ac quainted with each other enough to make an intelligent selection, the rushee of his fraternity, and, BARBOUR RECEIVES FOSSIL SHH'MENT OF OLD MAMMALS A large shipment of fossils, weighing ,500 pounds, was re ceived at Morrill hall Tuesday, and as much more is in transit and ex pected soon, according to an an nouncement by Prof. E. H.' Bar bour, head of the department of geology. The shipment Includes such vertebrate mammals aa bison, horse, camel, rhinoceros and giant dogs and cuts. Other recent additions at the museum include a very old modern bison, which was found on a ranch fifty miles west of Bonneville, Wyo. It was found by John Thomas of Wymore, Neb. The specimen is complete with horns in place on horn cores. Very few such speciments have been found recently as lby are becoming very rare. SPENCER tXlENDS APPLICATION DATE Teamooi; taiior rosipones i i r- i i r - i Deadline in Spite of Many Prospects. The deadline for applications for positions on the 1933 Corn husker staff has been postponed for a few days, The Daily Nebras kan learned yesterday. Ralph Spencer had this to say in regards to his change of plans: "Altho there have been enough applica tions to fill all vacancies on our staff, we feel that in all fairness to everyone more time should be allowed fo.- applicants to file their applications. "The deadline has been posi tively set for Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 27, at 4 o'clock. In taking this action, we believe that fra ternity and sorority activity direc tors will have had a fair amount of time in which to organize their future activity men and women." At 4 o'clock Tuesday, when the bar goes down, no more applica tions will be received this semes ter. Only under unusual circum stances, such as vacancies caused by illness or inefficiency of those on the staff, will any position be available to applicants. At the be ginning of the second semester there may be a few openings, the editor pointed out. In the editorial department- of the Cornhusker more applications for agriculture editor and snap shot editor, as well as a number of assistants, are desirable. Ac cording to Charles Skade, busi ness manager of the 1933 book, that department is desirous of more applications for the posi tions of circulation and advertis ing managers. ON NEBRASKAN DRIVE Student Subscriptions Fall Off, But Faculty Heeds Contest of Daily. "There is very little evidence of depression in the number of sub scriptions to the Daily Nebraskan this year. Although the number of student subscriptions has fallen off, this loss has been more than made up by faculty and downtown subscribers." H. N. Galleher, busi ness manager of the Nebraskan commented. "A large number of alumni subscriptions have also been received. A conceited d-ive on fraternity and sorority houses on the campus has yielded' a large block of Hub scriptions. Freshmen and new stu dents were asked to subscribe dur ing registration week at the Col iseum.

Pledging under the new sys tem cannot be done until Wednes day evening instead of Monday evening under the present system. Instead of each fraternity attempt ing to get its men by personal contact with them, the new sys tem allows every fraternity to send in to a committee the list of men it wishes to pledge. The rushee in turn instead of being obliged to wait until the fraternity he wants to join gets in touch with him and perhaps being disap pointed or taking second or third choice, will file with the same committee his preference of the fraternity he wants to join. The committee Is then enabled to inform rushees who have in dicated their preference whether they have been given a bid or not, and If the rushee indicates a sec ond or third choice, the committee will inform him in case he misses a bid from his first choice whether or not he has been given a bid by either o' his oiher choices.

MEN SHOW INTEREST IN ADVANCED DRILL Oury Says Number More Than Places Open Demand. Men students at the university are displaying a marked interest in the advanced drill courses of' fered this year, according to Col onel Oury, head of the department of military science and tactics While the number registered for these courses is smaller than last year, the decrease is in proportion to the shrinkage of the total en rollment of the university. The colonel points out that the number of applicants for the ranfr ing positions is far in excess of the number of these positions open and states that the staff is now busy selecting the best qualified for these places. The total registration in all drill courses is smaller than it was last year, due both to the smaller numbev of students this year, and to the fact that an unusually large percent of the men have been excluded from these courses on account of physical defects.

Nebraska's new swimming pool in the coliseum will open next week for all university students who have passed the required phy sical examination for swimmers in the student health office at Phar macy hall. Men may take the ex amination any morning from 8 to 12 o'clock and women any after noon from 1 to 3 o'clock.

Should enough stu dents be interested in improving their swimming, a special instruc tion class will be added to the pool schedule. A local chapter of the American Red Cross may also be installed for those wishing to learn life saving methods. Rudy Vogeler, swimming coach, believes that every student should take advantage of his swimming privileges since the pool has been paid for by the student body.

The lard surplus has been a ma jor factor in holding the price of hogs at a low level according to Prof. H. J. Gramlich of the animal husbandry department, who is helping plan the conference. Any thing which will sitmulate the lard market will mean a direct return to most Nebraska farmers, Gram lich said. The meeting was called by Dean W. W. Burr of the Agricultural college and will be attended by rep resentatives of various depart ments in the college. Dan HiMe brand of Seward, president of the Nebraska Livestock Feeders' asso ciation, and A. E. Anderson, stato and federal statistician, also will attend.

This is the field of extra-curricular activi tiesthe field of student life out side the classroom, a field created and governed by the students, that O Annual ceremonies for the Initia tion of freshmen into the body of university traditions will be held in the coliseum at 11 o'clock this morning. Administrative officers, ranking faculty members, Mortar Boards, and Innocents will be on hand to formally welcome the newcomers into the university's fold. Following the close of 10 o'clock classes, all freshmen will immedi ately assemble in front of the So cial Science building, from where they will march to the coliseum to attend the initation in the form of a convocation held especially for them. Freshmen will be ex cused from 11 o'clock classes to attend the initiation where, for the first time, they will sing Nebras ka songs, and hear Nebraska cheers. Administrative officials, prominent faculty members, and student leaders will talk to them, and then they will take the Corn husker oath. Starts With Rally. The freshman march to the coli seum will be introduced with a rally, inwhlch the R. O. T. C. band, Corn Cobs, Tassels, students and faculty members will figure. Awaiting freshmen in the coli seum will be the members of the Innocents society, and Mortar Board, Chancellor E. A. Burnett, Coach D. X. Bible, Coach Henry Schulte, Dr. G. E. Condra, Miss A. H.

The color of the buttons has been changed from the traditional green to red and white in order to match the freshmen caps.
