Activity tickets
poy their way
The question of student activity tickets which
Would cover more than athletic contests is one
which is raised periodically at the university, only
to be talked down on the argument that students
cannot afford any more compulsory fees and not
enough would take advantage of optional tickets
to make them profitable. In order to compile def
inite information on this issue as it is handled at
other institutions comparable to Nebraska, the
Daily has made a sui"vey of seventeen representa
tive universities and presents the results in this
issue as the third and last in the series of sur veys
made on popular student questions this semester.
Nine of the seventeen schools have compre
hensive activity tickets, and at five It is com
pulsory for students to subscribe to them. Most
expensive ticket is at Stanford where students
pay $15 per quarter (optional) and are not even
admitted to all football games without additional
payments. Least expensive Is at Iowa State where
for the past seven years the student activity sys
tem has been allotted $4 of the $40 registration
fee each quarter. Purchase is optional but In
cludes athletic events, campus paper subscription,
admission to debates, lectures, and concerts, and
application payment on the yearbook, so more
than 99 per cent of the student body takes ad
vantage of the bargain.
Average ticket seems to run about $10. Com
pulsory are Kansas university's ($8.75), Purdue's
($9), Washington's ($10), Kansas State's ($15), and
Northwestem's ($16.50) tickets. They include just
about everything from athletics to publications and
dramatics.
Among non-compulsory tickets are those of
Texas ($10.50), and California ($10). At Texas,
7,000 out of 11,000 students subscribed this year.
California has an unusual arrangement whereby any
Btudents wishing to participate In extra-curricular
activities Including Intramural sports must purchase
a ticket. Missouri suspended its activity ticket in
1937 as an "economy" measure but an effort is
being made now to put in an abbreviated ticket for
$3 which would include the yearbook, campus paper,
forensic and workshop tickets. Indiana also dropped
Its ticket with the depression but would like to rein
state it. At Michigan, where there Is. no ticket,
admission to athletic events is included in tuition.
Oklahoma, Ohio State, Minnesota, Illinois, and
Iowa of the schools polled do not have general ac
tivity tickets altho most have athletic books similar
to Nebraska.
From the survey It would appear that activity
tickets are popular In general on college campuses.
Most important Is the Indication that wrier
worked out on a sufficiently attractive basis, ac
tivity tickets are purchased by most of the stu
dent body even when not compulsory. It seems
not unlikely that If auch a plan were worked out
at Nebraska and given a trial, It would be not
only profitable for activities but for students as
well.
Biggst advantage of the ticket plan la that it
gives students cheaper rates for the various campus
activities as well as insuring better support for the
activities. In other words, the advantages work in
a circle. The DAILY, for example, now sells for
$1.50 per year to students. If compulsory subscrip
tion were effected, it could be sold for 75 cents per
year or Just half the present charge. At the same
time absolute blanket coverage of the campus couIJ.
be guaranteed not only to advertisers but'.o any
persons Interested In using the DAILY as a medium
thru which to make announcements to the entire
tudent body. Naturally a", of this would contribute
much to the growth and Improvement of the
From an idea in the back room of a saloon to a
world menace in twenty-one years that is quite a
record for naziism. It is one of the best examples
of snowballing that history has afforded in many
years. One event has led to another, increasing in
importance and significance with each step, spread
ing from men to groups of men, finally encompass
ing a whole nation, and now changing geography
and history altering the entire course of human
affairs.

And while Germany continues her march
toward world domination, one cannot help but won
der where this march will be halted by other powers
who have the same idea. Russia has been motivated
for years by the communistic urge of a universal
society. Italy's fascistic government has an ulti
mate goal of controlling the world. Japan has
gloried in the idea for centuries that she, like the OcttlC COX"

How long are those three powers going to per
mit Germany to continue in the role that they
themselves have a covetous desire to play? How
much power will they allow Germany to acquire
before they decide she has had enough? How long
will it be before all of the Old World is transformed
into a bedlam of chaos where every man is your
enemy merely because he speaks another language?
There may be a good reason for their reluc
tance to act at the present moment. Anyone of
them recognizes that the realisation of world su
premacy depends upon the vanquishing of Great
Britain. Maybe they are leaving that job to Ger
many. Great Britain out of the way, they can con
centrate on taking up the job from there while
naziism Ls still too weakened from months of ag
gressive warfare to offer any strenuous opposition.
It Is an ominous game of chess, with power
made dictators as the players, and human lives as
the pawns.
" Daily Texan.
For a picture in surrealistic writing, we have
our nomination. Our subject is a conisderation of
a combination of philosophy, psychology and soci
ology blended into a thought that is clear as the
ink it is printed in. We are off like a herd of
turtles.
We sit here in confusion in this mighty insti
tution and read the evolution that built the consti
tution. It seems a hard dilution and some would
say illusion to think of restitution and troubles in
solution. So we make a resolution and this is our
one conclusion; there might be a revolution and
then an execution.
We think that we need abolution of things like
0 rejuvination and then we make our contribution to
stop such persecution. We know our elocution is
like a strong Intrusion upon the obsolutlon of this,
our retribution.
And In the distribution we use some convolu
tion to hide the rank pollution and evils In seclusion.
And so we find ourselves in a consideration of
a combination which appears to be confusion but ls
really a bit of musatlon to be hung in the galleries
of surrealistic writing for either condemnation on
rejection.
Shakespeare, here we come.
DAILY, and is would be the same for any activity.
Campus newspapers are primarily service activltlec
and on large campuses this service becomes the
more vital since they provide the chief if not the
only means of distributing pertinent information to
the many members of the university community.
If all activities were placed on a ticket, of
course, the cost might soar too high despite the
individual savings. Hence there la the problem of
selecting which activities ohall be included. Some
of the schools investigated solve this by such means
as leaving the yearbook off the ticket proper but
offering it at reduced rates to thoie holding tickets.
Desirable as yearbooks are, they are so expensive
that they often cannot be Included if tickets art to
be kept within popular bounds. Activities such as
debating would flourish wonderfully on a fraction
of the tickets' income, while University I'layera
would receive the added support which they merit.
All In a I, it would seem that If the present
$3 Student Union fee were raised to $5 and mads
to include such activities as the DAILY, the cost
would not be prohibitive to the majority of stu
dents, while the resultant simplifying and bolster
ing of the support of worthwhile activities would
rebound to the good of the entire university.

the Sexes," from Galesburg Tues
day evening at 7 o'clock.
The winner of the college queen
contest will be chosen Tuesday

Fl Beta Phi's who came up from
eleventh place to second with a
rating of 2.738.
Biggest improvement among
the ' fraternities was the rise of
the Pi Kappa Alphas who went
from tenth to Becond place 'vith
a score of 2.400. The Phi Kappa
Pal's first place winners among

Sooners win
Big Six title
Oklahoma was crowned 1940
Big Six baseball champion, Sat
urday afternoon, at the expense
of Nebraska's ball nine. The Soon

undefeated.
The Hunkers dropped a 9-0 de
cison to the Sooners on Friday
and then yesterday, the Scarlet
nine lost to Oklahoma by a 5-2
count.
In the first game, two Okla
homa pitchers John Heath and
Howard Parks limited the Husk
ers to a single safe hit. That blow
was by Lance Ray in the third
inning.
In the meantime, the Sooners
were garnering 11 blows off the
offerings of Bob Searle. Sam
Blackwell led the Sooner assault
with a pair of doubles and a
single.
Two home runs were enough to
beat Nebraska in the Saturday
battle. Jack Riley and Herb
Scheffler caught hold of two
choice pitches by Husker Sidney
Held to decide the game.
Riley's roundtripper came In the
first with a mate on board. Schef
fler blasted a homer in the third
and the Sooner scoring was over.
Nebraska scored on a circuit
clout by Al Schmode, seasoned
catcher, in the fourth and Held
batt.ed Frankie Rubino, first
sacker, home with the final run
in the fifth frame on a rousing
triple.
Nebraska collected 7 hits off the)
deliveries of Jim Pope, while the
Sooners got a like number off
