A caJl for Interested barb stu dents to meet at Delian-Union hall, on the third floor of the Temple building, at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday was issued Monday afternoon by Willard Young, president of the unaffiliated student organization formed last spring. The barbs, according to the an nouncement, plan to effect perm anent organization of the group and elect permanent officers for the coming year. All students at the university not affiliated with social fraternities are eligible for membership in the organization. Any Delegate Eligible. Young emphasizes that any barb student who has been authorized by at least ten other barb students to act as tnetr representative wi be recognized as a bona fioXpeTe gate and, on presenting thaffcmes of the students as credentOils.Xhe will be entitled to full members and voting power on the Inter-Cl council. The meeting is primarily for these delegates to the Intcr-Club council, but all barb students in terested in the organization are urged to attend. Young said. De tails of the program of the organ ization will be discussed at the meeting. "This meeting is not an attempt to force a preconceived or inflexi- organization on the nam siu- nts." Young; said. "The mem bers of the barb clubs, thru their representatives on the Inter-Club council, may make any changes in the organization that the majority of them want. Will Bring Barb's Together. "The organization is an attempt to bring barb students together in a workable organization for their own benefit and for the benefit of the university. The group plans to launch a campus wide drive to get in touch with every barb student and interest him In the Inter-Club plan. "The purpose of the council, as outlined in the working rules, is: "First, to insure a full repre sentation of barbs at political elec tions. "Second, to provide smaller clubs of barbs thru which intra mural sports can be promoted. "Third, to instill among the barb students an interest in all extra curricular activities on the campus. "If the organization is to suc ceed," continued Young, "it will be because barb students feel there is a need for such an organization and such a program. If it fails, it seems to me that barb students who don't affiliate with the Inter Club council will have little or no ground for complaining about no representation on campus organ izations or about having nothing to say about campus activities."

WILLIAM DEVEREAUX, Chairman of the Rally Com mittee of the Innocents so ciety. RT OF ALL E Mftnager Says That Block of Magazines Costs Each Only 5 Cents. "If there are forty members in house, and the house orders a dock of twenty-five Awgwans, the otal cost for each member is five lents per month." Such is the cal culation of Otto Kotouc, business manager of the Awgwan. He further says, "In the face of iich figures, talk of effecting house economy by elimination of the Awgwan is ridiculous. The Aw gwan is not like a football ticket, it is not necessary that everyone have a personal copy, but no house should be without at least a twenty-five dopy block." Below are the names of fraternity and sorority houses which have definitely prom ised to purchase subscription blocks: Alpha Xi Delta Alpha Omicron Pi Alpha Tau Omega Beta Theta Pi Delta Tau Delta Delta Uptilon Chi Omega Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi Beta Phi Kappa Kappa Gamma Phi Kappa Psi Zeta Beta Tau Delta Gamma All houses which have not al ready done so are asked to com municate with Otto Kotouc or Lau rence Hall immediately, stating the size of the block desired. An increase in the length of the honor roll is expected as a result of or ders voted by fraternity meetings Monday night, says Kotouc, who is pleased with the campaign to date.

Rich colors will pre dominate, although the Roman method of furnishing was severe in lines of decoration. In the houses of the poorer Romans, the large courtyard was exposed to the sky, but In the houses of the richer, a canopy covered the area.

LACK L Failure to Wear Traditiona Caps Shows Disinterest Skade Declares. SOCIETY ISSUES RULES New Students Must Display Insignia Until They Win Contest. "A most outstanding lack of school soirit has been noted on the part of the male representatives of the freshman class ror ineir seem ing disinterest in wearing their freshman caps," according to Chalmers Graham, chairman of the Innocents society in charge of freshman caps. "Although a great many were purchased, very 'few are being worn on the campus. This refusal by some of the mem bers 4s a reflection on the class as a whole." The Innocents society which conducts the freshman cap sale, last week established a set of rules for the observance of the fresh' man cap tradition which have gone unobserved by many. The same set of rules as set down by this organization are as follows, and it is asked that they be ob served: 1. Every male freshman shall wear a freshman cap. 2. The cap shall be worn imme diately after the freshman initla tion and continuously thereafter. 3. Caps shall be worn at all uni versity events, and on all school dates except for week end dates 4. Caps shall be removed at such a date as the Innocents society shall designate and not until then, Chalmers Graham. Innocent, and head of the freshman cap sale, stated that since the preserving of such a tradition rests entirely with the individual the whole hearted co-operation of every member should be uppermost in the mind (Continued on Page 2.) STARTS HOBBY CLUB Music, Sports, Dramatics, Literature and Charm Claim Interest. The Big Sister board is taking on a new project this year.

The idea for hobby clubs was originated by Miss Elsie Ford Piper, assistant dean of women. She suggested the plan to Alpha Lambda Delta women's freshman scholarship honorary. They began the clubs last year but because it was thought that the Big Sister board had a closer contact with freshmen women they were trans ferred to the supervision of the Big Sisters.

Recitals will be given, each Sunday a meeting is held by either the girls In the group or by someone from the school of music. The group In sports will be con ducted for non-sorority girls who are interested in the intra-mura! games. In the charm school speakers will come from some of the down town stores. Some will discuss Paris and New York styles, popu lar shades and color harmonies. Others will explain how to plan and arrange meals table ierora tlons and attractive plates. New rules in etiquette will be dis cussed. Still others will tell of their trips abroad. Interior decoration and garden arrangements are in cluded in the outline for the group.

STUDENTS GIVEN BEST Cards Representing Ducats Will Be Selected by Uni Officials.

The drawings will be made Wednesday evening and the tickets will be available in the Students' Activities office in the coliseum after 8 o'clock Thursday morning. The method of procedure, as an nounced by Mr. Selleck, follows: When a student makes his. reser vation for a ticket, either thru one of the campus salesmen or at the activities office, he is given a re ceipt and his name Is placed in a numbered envelope. Any group or organization of two or more which has made reservations is treated as an individual and the name of the organization or group placed in one envelope. Cards corresponding to the num bers on the envelopes are then placed in a box. At 5 o'clock Wed nesday afternoon, the drawings will be made, with Howard Alla way, editor of the Daily Nebras kan, In charge.

Student tickets will still be on sale Thursday and Friday, Mr. Sel leck announced, and students may select their own seats from those which have not already been taken. "We are using this method of se lecting the tickets in order to pie vent the rush and the waiting lino which has formed in the past. For merly, when the sale opened at a prescribed hour, a long line formed, usually the day before, and stayed there all night. The present method does away with this, and the tickets are selected in an orderly manner," Selleck de clared. Seats Best In Stand.

If the Mudcntt would all co-operate, we could 'sing our way to victory' as we did before. A few students could not put this over, but it must be done by the student body st large. There must be leaders, of course, that will get before the student body and do he real work. "But '.his method of 'singing the way to victory' will not woik every game, perhaps not every year when repeated too often it becomes an old story, is done in a perfunctory way, and the effect is 'negative' instead of 'positive.' Therefore different methods should be resorted to at different times. That is, once, we could king again. We could have a big bonfire and a rally and then another year, something different. "As the student body is now. a 'sing our way to victory' program would be impossible, as the stu dents do not know the school s songs, but at the end of the 'Know Nebraska Song Week' every stu dent attending the University of Nebraska should know them, and such a program would then he possible." k K
