Dick Schmidt Offers Drastic Reduction in Effort
To Give All Students Chance to Read Paper.
ONE DOLLAR BRINGS PUBLICATION ENTIRE YEAR
Bargain Rate Continues Until Saturday, September 29;
Subscribers Will Receive Copies from Staff
Members Under System Used Last Year.
Radically reducing the subscription price for the Daily
Nebraskan, Dick Schmidt, business manager, announced late
Saturday the beginning of an extensive tv o weeks' "Be Campus
Conscious" campaign, during which time 1ho campus newspaper
will be offered to students at a price of one dollar for the
entire year.
The campaign, starting Monday,
will continue until Sept 29, at
which time the price of the paper
will be increased. Altho It was
impossible to get a statement re
garding the amount of the In
crease, it was guaranteed that the
increase would be at least 60 per
cent. "If the campaign is a success
at this low price and if at the end
of two weeks we have the desired
circulation, then there is no telling
where we will set the subscription
rate," declared Schmidt
"Last year's reduction to $1.50
indicated that the campus really
wanted the Nebraskan," he stated.
"We had more subscribers than
ever before and at one dollar we
should set an all-time record.
"It has been interesting to note
the price at which other college
dailies are sold. When considering
the advisability of a reduced rate
campaign, inquiries were made of
several of the more prominent col
lege dallies. The prices ranged
from $7.50 a year, charged at
Princeton, to $2.50 at Purdue and
Missouri.
"It is somewhat of an experi
ment but we will be satisfied, If
we can only get more students
reading their campus newspaper."
It was indicated by tne business
staff that a possible increase in the
advertising lineage was principally
responsible for the reduction in
subscription price.
"We wish to give every student
on the Nebraska campus a chance
to read the Daily Nebraskan,"
stated Burt Marvin, editor. "If
they all take advantage of this op
portunity we will be enabled to put
out a more complete paper and in
that way serve the university and

FRATERNITIES
BACK TO FORMER
RUSHING METHOD
Preferential System Is Cast
Aside After Year's
Trial.
Discarding the year-old prefer
ential pledging system, devised to
stop "throat cutting and "eaten
as catca can rusning tacnes, ise
braska fraternities return this fall
to former methods as rush week
enters its second day. Altho rush
week does not officially end until
Wednesday night at 10. new Greek
pledges may display their buttons
after midnight Tuesday.
Defeated by a decisive vote in
the Interfraternity Council last
spring the experimental system
was cast aside to be replaced with
a new set of rules governing rush
ing activities. Rushees are not per
mitted to split dates and none may
be broken during "closed season,"
from Saturday, Sept. 15 until mid
night Tuesday, Sept. 18.
The change of rules came after
considerable dissatisfaction with
the system used last year had been
expressed by members of the coun
cil. The preferential plan's un
popularity, voiced by the council's
decisive vote, indicates that frater
nities much prefer the last day of
rush week as "open season" and
that they do not like last year's
idea.
Fifteen rush dates are allowed
this year as in the past. Saturday
and today there are three: Lunch,
11 to 1:30; afternoon, 2 to 5; and
dinner, 6 to 10. Monday there are
but two dates, dinner, 6 to 9: and
evening, 9 to 12. Four dates Tues
day are lunch, 11 to 1:30; after
noon, 2 to 5; dinner, 6 to 9 and
evening 9 to 12. Buttons may be
displayed any time after 12 p. m.
Tuesday. Wednesday's dates are
the same as Saturday and Sunday.

Chancellor Burnett's Welcome
An awakened realization of the need and worth of a
college education is expressed in reports from all portions of
Nebraska. Here at the University of Nebraska, advance infor
mation is that more new students will be with us than during
recent years, more students who were In school last year will
return for further training, and most significant of all, more
former students who have been out of school for several years
are planning to return to school.
The colleges have much to give to the student. While col
lege Is a place for strenuous endeavor, opportunity knocks at
every student's door. Sources of culture abound here and the
acquisition of knowledge is made easier. Many student con
tacts may be made here that will be the basis of lasting
friendships.
The Unlvtlty of Nebraska is about to open Its sixty
fourth year In the education of the young men and women.
The faculty of the university Join me in a hearty welcome
and the wish that your high hopes will be realized.
