YOUNG CALLS FOR
. MEETING OF BARB
ASSOCIATED
CLUB
Unaffiliated Students' Club
Will Elect Permanent
Group Officers.
EMPASIZES ATTENDANCE
Any Non-Fraternity Student
Authorized by Others
May Be Delegate.
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."

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

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.
All Interested Girls Will
Meet Wednesday Night
In Memorial Hall.
Beginning Wednesday, Oct. 5,
girls who wish to become members
of Orchesis may attend a dancing
class in the studio in Grant Me
morial hall from 7:00 to 7:30. This
class will meet each Wednesday
night at the same time. At the end
of the semester girls who have at
tended fifty percent of the meet
ings and are still interested in
dancing will have a chance to take
a rhythm and movement test. If
they pass this test and the in
structors feel they can co-operate
with the other members of the
club, they will be asked to join Or
cbesis. At each of these Wednesday
night meeting, members of Orche
sis as well as Miss Edith Vail, will
be there to help the girls improve
their dancing technique. This club
is one of the organized groups of
W. A. A. and is sponsored by that
organization. All university girl

"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

STARTS HOBBY CLUB
Music, Sports, Dramatics,
Literature and Charm
Claim Interest.
The Big Sister board is taking
on a new project this year. It is
planning an extensive program for
the organization of five different
hobby clubs. These clubs will be
interested in music, sports, drama
tics, literature and in the charm
school. They will meet every two
weeks, under the supervision of
the girl attending university, who
are specializing in each of these
interests.
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.
The music group is comprised of
those girls who are accomplished
in the line. 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.
Those girls who are Interested in
dramatics will meet and produce
plays. Exceptional ability or mem
bership In a class in dramatics is
not necessary for this group. The
poems and prose will be written,
read and kept in scrapbooks.

Sixty copies of each song were dis

"Three Yea Team," "Locomotive

distributed.
"Now that the copies of the
songs have been given out" said
William S. Devereaux, chairman
of the rally committee, "we expect
every house to require the mem
bers learn the songs, and with the
help of the older members of the
houses to know the tunes of the
songs, sing them as often as pos
sible." "Although the week has just
started, I have every reason to be
lieve that it is sure to be a suc

every student who is now attend
ing the University of Nebraska
know the school songs, and I be
lieve that it will be reached before
the Ames game if all of the houses
co-operate with us."
"It is the spirit of the school
that will alone make this week a
real success. Every student owes
it to his school to learn them. v e
hope that the every student will
get behind the movement and push
it ahead in such a way that our
school can boast that every mem

enthusiasm was worked up by the
students during the preceding

DRAWING PLANS
Reservations Will Be Made
Wednesday and May Be
Secured Next Day.
STUDENTS GIVEN BEST
Cards Representing Ducats
Will Be Selected by
Uni Officials.
Plans for making the drawings
for student athletic tickets, reser
vations for which are now being
made, were announced by John K.
Selleck Monday. 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. As the numbered
cards are drawn from the box, the
correct number of tickets are
placed in the envelope correspond
ing to tne number drawn, it more
than one ticket is required for
that particular reservation, the
tickets will be selected so that all
the members of that organization
may sit together.
All In East Stadium.
The same procedure will be car
ried out whether the reservations
have been made for the card sec
tion or outside. All student tickets
are for the east stadium.
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.
"We also want to stress the fact
that the card section is in the
henrt of the stadium and tb best
seats available have been reserved
for the students. Even the poorest
seats in this section are Deuer
