large bold red letters, aotive
campaigning for support from
campus organizations, scheduled
radio time on University pro
grams, a planned questionnaire
to be taken to every part of the
campus by a staff of nearly 100
Union activities workers all are
a part of the big drive initiated
at the beginning of this week
by the Union expansion com
mittee. The campaign will continue
through Tuesday, April 25. Wed
nesday the students will decide
in an all University poll whether
thove will be a Union addition.
So far, 42 organizations hav?
pledged their support of the in
crease in fees which is necessary
before any expansion may be
accomplished.
They are:
Independent Student's As
sociation, Gamma Lambda, Pt
Kappa Phi, Women's Athletic
Association, Phi Upsilon Oml
cron, Alpha Omicron Pt, Kap
pa Phi, Theta XI and All
Women's Society.

- The questionnaires to ascertain
students' opinions will be taken
out Monday afternoon by a spe
cial group of workers who will
be fully informed on the Union
situation as it now stands and
will be able to answer questions
concerning addition proposals.
They will note the views of the
students regarding the consid
ered facilities.
More information tbout the
large scale student contacting
and results will be published in
following editions of the "Rag."
It is planned by the commit
tee that the student contacts will
be as representative as possible.
In order that this may be ac
complished, the contacters, who
will not merely be pollers, will
take out the forms to all parts
of the campus. "
Also the survey will be more
authoritative if the student in
terviewed will include simple
information about himself. This
will eliminate any haphazard
tabulation on the part of either
the interviewer or. interviewee.
11
This Is the reason for the pre
liminary section asking personal
information.
The committee is asking the
co-operation of students in grad
ing the questionnaire sheets. The
compilation of returns from the
contacts Monday afternoon will
be revealed in Tuesday's edition
of The Daily Nebraskan.
It is felt by the committee that
with the student contacts a
careful analyzatlon of the feel
ing on the addition may be made.
It will give en opportunity for
all students to participate in the
planning of the building if the
vote is "yes" Wednesday at the
election.
Members of the committee
wished to point out to students
that as students visit the polls
they should remember that the
fee increase is the only means

Rag Contrasts
'New and Old'
Page Sizes
Today's front page is a far cry
from what students and faculty
members have been seeing in
The Daily Nebraskan this semes
ter. The amount of news-filled
space represents the old tabloid
size, the size to which The Daily
Nebraskan will return unless
students vote for a 50 cent fee
raise to continue the present
seven-column paper.
Students will have the chance
to express their approval or dis
approval of the larger Daily Ne
braskan in their Wednesday 9
o'clocks, with the proposed Union
fee raise. The seven -column
paper has been running on the
same subscription price which
paid for last semester's five
column "Rag," and this fee has
not proved sufficient to make
ends meet. If the students vote
"yes" on the subscription hike,
they will continue to receive the
larger paper.
Short of Space
Last semester, working with
the amount of space represented
on 'today's front page, the "Rag"
staff often was unable to print
much of the news which came
into the Nebraskan office. It gen
erally was necessary to cut
stories down to the minimum
facts; and if an item wasn't the
"big" news of the day, it ran the
risk of not being printed.
Had the tabloid size been used
throughout today's paper, on all
four pages, much news again
would have been lost. "Just
Around" and "News and Views"
would have been tossed out, and
the other columns which appear
in the larger "Rag" on other days
of the week would never see
print. Sports would take a heavy
blow, and editorial space would
be limited.
Continuance of the present,
"king-size" Nebraskan depends
on the student vote.

Naval Science building. Regis
tration will go according to

Class Lists
Class lists are available in the
office of the Registrar, Jtoom 103
Administration building, for stu
dent checking. Any students in
doubt as to their classification
should check their grade rating
before obtaining registration
numbers.
"This will give students an
opportunity to determine their
standing in advance of the week
of April 24, anc also make it
possible for them to make any
corrections," said Dr. Hoover.
Following the issuance of
registration tickets, students are
asked to make appointments
with their advisors for confer
ences. .These conferences will be
held during the period of April
24 to May 3. s
Fall Program x
When the programs for the
fall semester studies are made
up, students will leave their
work sheets with their advisors
in order for necessary signatures
to be affixed.
