CAMPAIGN
M
Athletic Tickets Sell Surprisingly Fast on Opening Day
Despite Fact Real Drive Headed by Tassels
Does Not Start Until Tuesday.
REPORTS INDICATE A FAVORABLE CAMPAIGN
Six Home Games on Husker Grid Slate Provides Most
Attractive Schedule in Years; Basketball,
Swimming, Track Also Included.
Husker students apparently are solidly behind Nebraska
athletic activities this season, according to first reports of the
annual student season ticket sales drive which came in Monday
afternoon.
Even before Tassels, girls' pep organization in charge of
the drive, had started off theirO
campaign, John K. Selleck, busi
ness director of athletics, an
nounced that sale of the student
books was surprisingly brisk for
the opening day.
The real drive, headed by Louise
Hossack, Tassel president, got un
derway at 5 o'clock Monday after
noon, and the list cf students who
have purchased is expected to
grow by leaps and bounds all
through the week.
"Although Nebraska athletics
offer the best 'buy' in years, the
opening day's sale was surprising
ly brink," said Selleck, while mem
bers of Tassels confidently pre
dicted that with such a start the
drive would top all expectations.
The books, which sell for six
dollars, not only admit purchasers
to the six big home games on the
football schedule, but also cover
admission to all basketball games
and to other athletic events as
well.
According to athletic officials
the six home games on the Husker
grid slate provide the most attrac
tive home schedule in recent years,
with "Dutch" Witte's Wyoming
Cowboys invading Memorial Sta
dium Saturday afternoon for the
opening game and Iowa, Ames,
Pittsburgh, Missouri and the Kan
sas Aggies following in order. Bas
ketball also presents the most at
tractive schedule in years, with
Iowa, North Dakota, Minnesota,
Ames, Kansas, Missouri, Okla
homa and the Kansas Aggies in
cluded on the Husker slate. Ad
mission to track, swimming and
wrestling meets are also included
In the six dollar book.
The drive, the second annual
campaign headed by Tassles, Is
scheduled to last throughout the
week, and is expected to reach its
height Wednesday or Thursday,
when seats will be assigned organi
zations desiring blocks of seats.
Those locations will be assigned by

DRIVE TO END SATURDAY
Non-affiliated students have re

Daily Nebraskan in such numbers
that last year's circulation among
this group has already been sur

that the percentage of subscrip
tions gained through them will be
at least as great as that of last
year.
No free papers will be offered
after Wednesday, Sept. 26. From
that time on a careful check will
be made before anyone can receive
a copy of the paper. Every sub
scriber must show his receipt,
which will be checked with the Ne
braskan's circulation list.
On Sept. 29, the special offer of
a year's subscription for one dollar
will come to an end. After that the
mice will go up 50 cents.
There is a distribution booth on
each campus. Ag college students
may call for their copies at the

At a large political rally in

Scholarships Available
World War Veterans or
Descendants.
to
La Verne Noyes scholarships,
open to all World war veterans or
their blood descendants, are once
again open to university students,
it was announced by William C.
Harper, assistant to the Dean of
Student Affairs.
The awards were previously of
fered until three years ago, and
have just been re-established.
The scholarships are maintained
by a trust fund, and will care for
ail or part of the tuition needs of
deserving students, according to
Mr. Harper. All details of the
awards may be secured from him
at the office of the Dean of Stu
dent Affairs.
The awards, open to veterans or
to blood descendants of veterans
who are still in either the army or
navy, or whose service was termi
nated either by death or honorable
discharge, are made "in gratatude
and partial reward for those who
ventured the supreme sacrifice,
and to keep alive, for generations
to come, the spirit of patriotic de
votion they displayed without
which no nation can long endure."
Only those students, however,
who fulfill the requirements of
blood relationship to veterans of
the late great war iit-ed apply for
recognition, it was emphasized by
Harper. Re-establishment of the
awards will be a great aid to the
deserving students but unless the
grants are confined strictly within
the allotted limits the possibility
of revoking them is very probable.
