Prove your
ability at Union
amateur show
So you've got ants in your pants
and can't dance. Well, maybe you,,
can sing, so why not try to prove
it at the Union amateur show to
be held in the ballroom Nov. 17.
Any student wishing to appear
must register in the Union check
stand before Monday, according to
Pat Lahr, social chairman.
The show, the first amateur
hour open to all students, is being
sponsored by the Union to give
talented students a chance to per
form, and to publicize them for
entertaining at other campus ac
tivities. Students possessing any
kind of talent are invited to reg
ister for appearance on the show.
Contestants will be judged by
an applause meter, and three
prizes of $6, $4 and $2 will be
presented to the winners. If a
group of entertainers wins the con
test, they will split the prize
money awarded for thetr act.
Selleck expects
crowd of 34,000
for Ioica game
"If the weather is nice," said
John K. Selleck, business man
ager of the athletic depart
ment, "there will be a crowo
of about 34,000 people at the
game this Saturday." And
over 2,900 of them will be loyal

The ticket office announces
that there are still 3,000 seats
available in the stadium plus
the 5,000 bleacher seats which
will be turned into general ad

thereare many people visiting the
university. Such instances are
football games, basketball games,
teachers conventions and other oc
casions when the campus attracts
a great number of visitors. An
other suggestion, that there should
be no two hour parking limit on
the south side of R, 10th to 14th,
was made.
The proposal was again made
that one of the mauls nhould be
graveled and opened up for park
ing, but action on this plan seems
very unlikely, according to the In
nocents. A further suggeUion was
that there should be a standing
area set aside for visitors.

The "sticker plan" as It was

10 cents to all students driving
cars. These stickers would allow
students to park their cars any
where on the campus other than
those areas set aside for the fac

Cars without stickers would first
be given warning tickets and then
tickets carrying fines.
Thru its power to regulate uni
versity grounds, the university
also has the power to regulate
and restrict parking as it sees fit
This power has been vesten in the
Innocents in order that Ihey

parking problem.

To sound out student opinion
concerning further use of coliseum
facilities, the organization of co
operative houses, and universal
student subscription to the DAILY,
the NEBRASKAN will submit a
questionnaire to every student
voter in the election Tuesday.
Norman Harris, DAILY editor,
before leaving for Detroit, urged
that all students back the propos
als in the questionnaire. If the
poll results are in favor of the in
novations, the DAILY will insti
tute a drive to carry out the
changes.
Barb men only will be asked if
they would be interested in eating
at a co-operative house for charges
of $16 to $20 per month or if they
would pay $22 to $25 per month
for room and board in a co-op
house. The proposal drew out of
the extensive survey conducted by
the DAILY last semester in which
all boarding and rooming facilities
on the campus were checked and
investigated by reporters.
Use of coliseum.
All men will be questioned as to
whether they now use coliseum
facilities for workouts, swimming
pool and showers, and whether
they would be willing to pay fees
