Uni Players Campaign
Continues Till Tuesday
At the close of the third day of
the University Players ticket cam

ing yesterday, decided to concen
trate the drive for the next two

been covered for the most part.
With the drive extended until
Tuesday, Tassels felt that they can
realize their goal of 1,800 tickets
with the first of the month bring
ing the students their allowances
and pay checks. Although the
drive will be continued until Tues
day, tickets may be reserved in the
Temple theater from this morning
on.
Since the tickets are going on
reserve today it would be wise for
all to purchase them from Tassels
as soon as possible, according to
Harriet Cummer, who along with
Virginia Nolle, Tassel president, is
co-chairman 01 me ucnci canr
rial en.
Ann Hustead sold the largest

Pictures for the 1939 Corn-

Through the courtesy of the

it is hoped that it will speed tip

will be $2.50, and fraternity or

Miss Lahr urges everyone to
have pictures taken before October

Social Workers
To Organize

Meet, Band Together
Students of the newly estab

Work decided-in meeting Thursday
afternoon to organize a student
professional group and make appli
cation for an affiliation with the
American Association of Social
Work St idents.
The majority of the students of
the school are interested in organ
izing such a society, said Elwood
W. Camp, temporary chairman of
the meeting. Work will begin this
week with the appointment of a
committee to draw up and present
for approval a constitution. Stu

from the office of John K. Seileck :
and a Daily Nebraskan survey re-1
vealed yesterday. !
Figures showing the number of i
tickets purchased by each frater-1
nity and the number bought by j
the same organization this year ,
reveal that nearly every frater-;
nity on the campus is taking about
50 percent as many tickets as in
the year 1937. Comparative fig
ures for the last two years on the ,
number purchased by sororities;
show about an evene ratio between J
the two years. !
Figures in the Daily Nebraskan
survev. of course, presuppose that
approximately tne same numuvi
of students live in tne inuiviuum j
fraternity house as lived mere last i

number will attend the football
games from that house as there
were last year.

Only one conclusion can be
reached by comparing the figures
of the two years. That conclusion
is that fraternities have been guil
ty of padding their lists and sup
plying athletic tickets to persons
not in that particular fraternity.
Only a glance at the fraternity
figures last year, however, was
sufficient to see that many were
guilty of the practice, and had
been for many years.
When a demand for more than
5,500 student tickets was raised
last year and Business Manager
