JnQGDooirs 'Register
Today tfoir.ElecMon
Student voters of junior stand
ing may register today in the
Union lobby between noon and 7
p. m. to vote in the second elec
tion, according to the Student
Council Judiciary committee.
The election that was held last
Tuesday on the Ag campus has
been found to be valid as con
firmed by Miss Mary Melenz and
Helen Laird; therefore it will not
be necessary for those juniors
who voted on the Ag campus to
re-register or vote again.
Agriculture students who voted
on -the city campus must register
again at the booth in the Union in
order to qualify for the election on
October 16. The registration list
of all juniors who voted in the
first election on Ag campus will
be at the registration desk today,
thereby eliminating the possibility
that any student who voted at
the first election on Ag campus
could register and vote again at
the second election.
The junior election was declared
invalid because of a discrepancy
between signed voters and ballots
cast. Junior class candidates are
Darrell Devoe, Dake Novotny and
Jackie Tobln.

Migrationers
Should Sign
Petition Data
All students planning to attend
the Cornhusker-Jayhawk game at
Lawrence, Kansas, on the "Jay
hawk Special," special train sched
uled for students, should sign pe
titions prepared for that purpose,
slates Doris Easterbrook, Migra
tion chairman.
Petitions for unaffiliated stu
dents may be signed at the Corn
husker sales booth in the Student
Union hall.
Tassels and Corncobs will take
care of these petitions for their
sororities and fraternities, and or
ganized houses having no Tassels
or Corncobs must appoint a mem
ber to take care of these petitions.
These petitions can be picked up
at the Cornhusker booth in the
Student Union.
Annual Again.
Expectations are that this Mi
gration, formerly annual but in
terrupted during the war, will be
one of the largest in the history of
the Migrations.
"Minnesota students said they'd
never seen so much spirit as we
showed there," said Joan Acker
mann, who is helping to plan the
migration. "At the Kansas game
we hope to show twice as much."
"It would be a good idea for
students having cars to save them
for another game, Joan pointed
out.
A round trip fare on the "Jay-
hawk Special" will cost $11 in
cluding a ticket to the game. You
can t drive a Cadillac for that.
The "Jayhawk Special" will
leave the Union Pacific station at
7 a. m. Saturday and returns to
Lincoln 5 30 Sunday morning
WAA will supervise concessions
aboard the train.

Mimi Anne Johnson, president.
The AUF annual fall drive begins Monday with a $2200 1
goal to reach, according to Mary Claire Phillips, AUF di-'
rector.
. The All University Fund saves the students from con
tributing to more than one drive a semester as it coordinates
all past campaigns into two drives a year. "$2 per person
has been decided on as the majority average;" Miss Phillips
stated, "but any amount the student feels he is able to give,
will be appreciated."
A meeting of all AUF solicitors
will take place today in the
Union room 813, at 5 p. m. Ells
worth DuTeau, chairman of the
City Community Chest, will ad

Wage Raise
Granted UN
Employees
A general increase in salaries
and wages, averaging about 13
percent, for nearly all university
employees has been granted,
Chancellor R. V. Gustavson an
nounced. The "cost of living" increase to
taled about $316,873, but the out
lay in funds for the current fiscal
year will only amount to about
$240,000 since three months have
already elapsed. The baost is ef
fective as of October 1. Funds
were provided entirely by the in
creased revenue from student fees
occasioned by a record enrollment
of 9,500 students this fall.
The increase ranged from 25
per cent in low salaried groups to
no increase for some top .salaried
positions. Approximately 800 uni
versity employees including such
groups as professors, instructors,
administrative personnel, county
agents, clerks, technicians, and
service employees were affected.
, Chancellor Gustavson said that
the salary increase was "dictated
by three necessities":
(1) University salaries were re
duced 22 per cent in 1932-33 and
no adjustment was made on this
"depression level" until the spring
of 1944 when the state legislature
voted funds for an over-all 12 per
cent increase. With the current
increase university salaries have
been restored to the 1931 level,
but are still "far behind the 85 to
40 per cent increase in living
costs."
