LARGER THAN 1 931
Gate Receipts Smaller But
Attendance Greater,
Selleck Says.
More people attended the Uni
versity of Nebraska football games
played in Lincoln this year than
during the 1931 season, but total
gate receipts were smaller accord
ing to statistics compiled at the
office of John K. Selleck, director
of Student Activities.
Despite a depression-year the
turn-stiles were kept moving by a
three dollar reduction in admission
price In season tickets and a gen
erous single admission reduction
for each game. The University of
Nebraska was one of about a
dozen large schools which showed
an increase in attendance over the
previous year.
The smallest attendance at a
home game at Lincoln was at the
Ames game when less than 9,000
fans turned out to see the season's
curtain-raiser. High point of the
season was reached at the Pitts
burgh game which nearly 25,000
people attended.
"Nebraska was fortunate in hav
ing good weather for its home
games," Selleck stated, "and we
are satisfied with the receipts.
stage, the new honorary colonel
will be met by Cadet Colonel
Roscoe Kroger who will accom
pany her in the grand march
which will be participated in by
all the cadet officers, regimental,
battalion, and company sponsors.
This is the twenty-fourth annual
ball. In 1908 cadet officers started
the tradition by holding a dance
known as the 'officers' hop' and
every year since a similar fete has
been put on by the military depart
ment In the early years of the tradi
tion, the dance formally opened the
dancing season. Now it is the
grand opening of the formal sea
son. It has always stood out as
one of the most important events
of the year.

AMPLIFIERS
INSURE
OF
ORCHESTRA AT BALL
Oury Says Sound System
Has Been Tested Over
Entire Coliseum.
An amplifying system which
has been installed in the Coliseum
for the Military ball Friday, will
make It possible for dancers to
hear the music In any part of the
Coliseum as though they were im
mediately in front of the orches
tra, according to Colonel W. H.
Oury. The system consists of two
sets of three loud speakers.
"The main objection to the mu
sic at previous balls has been that
the people at the corners of the
dance floor had to strain their
ears to hear it," said Col. Oury of
the military department. "This
year, however, with the amplify-'
ing syst-m everyone will be able
to hear the orchestra." He stated
that the sound equipment had been
tested and that the music could
be plainly heard in all parts of the
building without any resulting
echo.
To Broadcast Program.
The program will be broad
casted from 10 to 12 over radio
station KFAB. Al Poska, station
announcer, will have charge of the
broadcast.

tor of the Muehlebach Hotel, in
