stance of the support Nebraska women
are giving to every kind of work that
they are called upon to do. It is
interesting to note that still more
bandage makers are needed, and men
as well as co-eds can be used. Only
a few men have ventured so far to
go to the Red Cross room in Ne
braska hall, they have felt a mascu
line disposition to leave the sewing
and "such stuff" to the women. This
is not the right attitude. While it
is true that women may be by nature
and temperament better adapted to
such endeavor, it is surely not out
side of man's province to help in an
emergency. He has two hands, al
belt they may be somewhat clujnsier
than a woman's but they will serve
Nebraska women and Nebraska men
are both needed during the rest of this
week, and both should answer the
call.
Throughout these first months of
the school year requests of various
kinds have come to students for aid
in war work, including contributions
to the Red Cross, the Y. M. C A. iund,
the Serbian relief, the Armenian re
lief, the purchase and sale of liberty
bonds, and a practical, sensible econ
omy in commodities and amusement.
Every work that students have been
asked to ' support has been wortny
and every . call has been answered
heartily. Students have felt all along,
however, that they would like if pos
sible to identify themselves in. some
way with an organization whose sole
purpose it would be to get oehind
and push patriotic movements. It is
better. Nebraskans believe, to be the
originators, the pioneer supporters of
worthy enterprises than it is to wait
until someone, asks for a dollar oi an
hour: Now Just such an organisation
has been conceived by a member of
the faculty, and it will be formed t hi
evening at a meeting of University
men and women in the Tomple the
atre at 7 o'clock. What the organla
tion shall be called will be decided
then such a name as "the council
of two hundred" has been suggested.
But whatever its name it will unite
students in a body to carry on within
the University all branches of war
work, and will afford, probably, the
best outlet for patriotic zeal offered
University men and women while
they are in college. The meeting will
be short, not extending over the 8
o'clock limit, and absolutely will not
be turned into a call for the donation
of anything besides an enthusiastic
desire to develop a workable unit for
the support of all war interests.
What kind of a check draft or dam
per have you on your furnace? When
me nouse gets too warm do you sim
ply throw open the windows? Most of
uo ncep our nouses too warm. Each
degree rise in temperature costs more
than the preceding degree. Warm the
house to the right temperature and
see that no coal is wasted by over
stepping this point. The proper firing
of your furnace can be made to save
a very noticeable amount of coal. Do
you shake a lot of coal through the
grate and shovel it out with the
ashes? The United States, it is esti
mated, wasted 75,000,000 tons of coal
in 1916. If you do any of the above
things you are helping in the wast
for 1917. Every pound of coal wasted
helps the enemy.
Your bank account may be able to
stand a swollen water bill, an in
creased electric bill and an augment
ed coal bill but the country cannot af
ford to have you waste the fuel in
volved in any of these careless practices.
We are short, tremendously short.
on transportation facilities. The esti
mated waste in coal last year would
require 1,500,000 fifty-ton cars to move
it. Are yon, increasing the car short
age by wasting fuel directly or indi
ectly? Every person in the Univer
sity can contribute to this coal con
servation. Turn out your lights; don't
waste heat and do your part to help
win the war.

were selected to be made members of
the debating team that will represent
Nebraska college, of law in th de
bate against the Kansas City college
of law to be held at Kansas City De
cember 21, at a hotly contested pre
limlnary battle held yesterday after
noon in law 101.
Eight men entered the elimination
race and some very good material for
debating was uncovered. Jeffrey
Young and Schaberg handled the ma
terial in a competent manner and dis
played qualities that will in all prob
ability make trouble for their Kansas
City opponents.
Dean Wm. Hastings, Prof. Geo. Fos
ter and Dr. Edwin Maxey were the
judges at the tryouts.
The team is expected to leave about
Thursday and will be accompanied by
Coach Dr. Maxey.
According to reports reaching the
laws from the south, the Nebraska
representatives will meet with a for
midable rival when they go upon the
platform for the final contest Friday
but with the amount of experience
that the team members have had and
the abundance of authority which they
have in support of their contention
they may be relied upon to give a
ftood account of themselves In the
forensic battle.
Work in preparation for the debate
will commence in earnest today "and
all those who took part in the pre
liminaries will aid in giving the men
all necessary information.
