Originated Plan With
Student Help.
Next Monday will mark the first
anniversary of the rebirth of An
old university tradition. "Hello
day," reinstated upon the Ne
braska campus last autumn after
years of absence, is being spon
sored now in the new form of
"Hello Week."
Plans are being made by the
A. W. S. board whereby students
and faculty will be expected to
speak to all Vfreshmen met on the
campus. Concluding the Freshmen
convocation which is to be held
Thursday morning first year men
and women are to wear "dinks"
or green buttons. 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.
A very definite action is being
taken by the backers of the move
ment to make "Hello Week" r.
worthwhile tradition at the Uni
versity of Nebraska. In other large
schools throughout the country it
is an event of long standing,
looked forward to with, a great
deal of satisfaction.
"Hello Week" on the Nebraska
campus is the outgrowth of a tra
dition which flourished for a short
t!,tfie years ago. At that time the
event lasted but one day, and was
backed by the "Mystic Fish," and

Publication Will Probably
Bo Completed About
November First.
With cards from the various re
ligious organizations coming in,
work on the student directory has
started, C. D. 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. Sale of
advertising space will continue for
some time yet, for another two
weeks, at least.

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.

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

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.

SEEK NEW USES
FOR LARD AS AID
TO AGRICULTURE
Plans for new ways to use lard
will be made Thursday afternoon
at a meeting at the agricultural
college campus.
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

university traditions will be held
in the coliseum at 11 o'clock this

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.

The freshman march to the coli
seum will be introduced with a

Plans have been completed to

at the freshman convocation this
morning, according to Margaret
Upson, president of the Mortar
Boards, who are in charge of the
distribution. Cards will be given to
each girl which will tell when aud
where they may receive their but

about five hundred buttons will be
given out to the new coeds.
The color of the buttons has
been changed from the traditional
green to red and white in order to
match the freshmen caps. Miss
Upson declares that, contrary to
the popular belief, it is not a dis
grace to wear these buttons, but
an honor.
The girls will be required to
wear the insignia thruoughout the
following week, up until Sept. 30.
Presidents of the various sorori
ties and rooming houses have been

Roughly, extra-curricular activ

from a rich student life outside

those aspects of university life not
directly connected with the formal
