jsTUDENTS' HELP IS ASKED
Lery Jun'op and 8en,0P "Pn,t,e
for Stfceew of Their
Section In Annual
j All Juniors and seniors aro urged by
11. B. Thompson, business managor ol
mo 1918 Cornhusker, to arrange Cor
Itholr pictures for (ho publication im
jmcdlatoly. The pictures, to. be pub
lished In the annual, must be. In not
later than the 26th of this month, and
students are advised to attend' to the
matter at once, In order toavoid tho
'eleventh-hour rush at the photog
raphers. , ,
' The management, of the Cornhuaker
'this year Is laboring-undor peculiar
disadvantages', calieoii, by ho unset
tled Btato of University- affairs. It
liaB been nedoBsary to elect three dif
ferent business managers, two of
whom have resigned; to taljo up mili
tary duties. As a result, It has boon
impossible; to . begin work on the an
nual until after; the holidays, weeks,
later than usual. In view of these
circumBtancel, Jtho . management ap
peals to the students for their co
operation In till branches of tho work
and especially requests that they get
all the materia Jn on Ume..
it is prefered that' the pictures be
jail taken at the Townsend studios, for
arrangements have already been
imade there for , the proper disposl
'tion of the pictures: to the engravers.
Sittings may be arranged for by tole
iphone, arid this plan will abolish the
need of waiting for turns. The
studios are located at 226 South 11th
street.
All Juniors and 8enlors Wanted
The management calls .particular at
tention to the fact that this, notice
applies to all students of the Uni
versity who are ranked as Juniors or
Seniors, whatovor branch of the
school they are in, whether on the
city campus or at the farm. It has
always beon the custom to print these
pictures, and organizations and stu
dents tiavo declared themselves in
favor of continuing to . do so. Thus
far, very few pictures have been
taken. They must all bo in by the
;2Gth of the month.. The -management
has endeavored to .send cards to every
'Junior and Senior; notifying them of
this fact. If some .failed to receive
the cards, it does not moan that their
picture is not wanted, but that they
were missed through an error. Every
member of the two classed should feel
it a personal responsibility to see that
his pictures" is" in the hands of tho
engravei's in tiffie.

pany. FIRST PLANS MADE FOR
"FETE OF ALL NATIONS"
National Groups to Entertain
in Temple Dancing in
Armory February 9
To hold tho "Fete of the Nations"
the next All-University party on Feb
ruary 9, at the Temple and at the Arm
ory was the decision of the General
All-University Party committee at a
meeting last evening in the Temple.
The part of the party in the Temple
will represent the nations. There will
be booths, arranged, with decorations
arid entertainment . characteristic of
the nation represented. This will give
opportunity to the dlfforent national
organizations to compete with each
othpr in presenting novel and inter
esting amusement. Dancing will be
held in the Armory and will begin at
l6 o'clock.
It waB the original plan of the com
mittee to have the Fete of the Nations
in; the, city auditorium, but It was im
possible to make arrangement on ac
count of the annual retailers' .conven
tion which has secured the auditorium
for February 9. All the members of
the committoo felt that by holding tho
party in the Temple much more effecr
tivp booths could bo" prepared, as all
the rooms in the Temple are to be
nand which will insure the individual
ity of the nations by providing separate
rooms whenever necessary.
Red Cross Rooms to
Be Open This Week
The University Red Cross rooms In
Nebraska hall will be open beginning
this week, every Tuesday and Thurs
day afternoon, from 2 until 5 o'clock;
and on Friday from 9 until 12 o'clock
and 1 until 6 o'clock.
Those who aro in charge are anxious
that tho work be resumed with the
same enthusiasm that the girls
brought Into it before the big drive
and before the rooms had to be closed
on account of the smallpox epidemic.
Most of the work- to fee done now is in
the naturo of surgical dressings.

PLANS ARE UNDER WAY FOR
RECORD UNIVERSITY NIGHT
All "Skits" Must Bo Submitted
by January 15
SOME STARTLING FEATURES
Band . and Evening Shun Promised
Again Every Organization
Urged to Submit Sketch
A bigger and bettor program than
ever with several startling now fea
tures that is what tho Y. M. C. A.
committed id promising for University
night, March 2.
University night-la the one timo in
the year when students are permitted
to use all the satirical wit they can
muster in order to got "laughs" on the
faculty. It is ono night on which am
ateur actors and playwrlters have a
chance to display their wares.
January 15 -has been set as a final
date on which sketches to be used in
the University night program can bo
submitted to the committee. Such
sketches aro to bo given to Chairman
Wm. F. Urbach or left at the secretary's
desk In the Y.. M. C. A. rooms. Every
accepted production will be returned
by Fobruary flr3t. This will give every
organization at least a month for prac
tice, instead 6f a Bingle day as'has
often been the case in the past.
The city auditorium has again been
chosen as' the. place for holding the
annual vaudeville program. A record
crowd last year showed that thia is the
only builcg in. the city large oilough
to hold all who wish to see tho
"stunts."
No announcement haB come from
the committee as yet as to tho prob
able program. There are cortain or
ganizations, however, that can be
counted on every year.
First is the.band, which always
gives one of the most entertaining
parts on the program. The band this
year "is, if anything, a littlo above the
calibre of former years. Then there
Will probably be sketches by tho Com
mercial club, Pre-Medics, Engineers
and the Journalistic fraternity and
sorority, the feature of this act be
ing the appearance of the; "Evening
Shun." There will be two or three
special skits and then the farce by the
irrepressible laws.
The, price of admission this year will
probably bo higher than the 10 cent
limit bt other years. The corrimittSe
says 'the war is to. blame for this.
Cbalrriian Urbach will also announce
a plan In the, near future whereby
amy 'men may reserve seats for thai
evening.

VARSITY TAKES SLUMP
PROSPECTS AGAIN GLOOMY
Freshman Victors Against
Doane Have Upper Hand
in Daily Scrimmages
There is again an atmosphere of
gloom hanging dark over the Corn
hu'sker basketball camp, After, show
ing a decided improvement at the end
of last week's practice, the team h. s
gone on another bad 'slump, and is as
ineffective and weak as beforo tho
holidays.
There is no particular cauaoto be
assigned for this slump, beyond tho
fact that the team doe? not seem to ba
developing as it should. InsteSd of
making progress' in the art of basket
ball, the squad is playing almost as.
poorly as though" It were the start of
the season. While the individual play
ing is improving ttie team has so far
been unable to co-ordlnato its effort,
and produce a passable brand of team
work. Whether continued careful
coaching will bring out some team
work reirihins. to be seen. It is cerr
tain that it, must appear soon, if Ne
braska is to place at all in the valley
race. The first game, with Cairip
Funston, is Saturday of next week.
The week after that, Camp Dodge is
played,, and then the team wades right
Into its valley, schedule, where it will
meet some real teams.
Freshmen Continue Trounclngs
The freshmen, who came back from
Doane with a scant victory of 26 to 24,
are recovering from their slump, and
are trouncing the varsity regularly
again. The first-year men had no alibi
for their close call with tho Doane
team except that they were not play
ing up to form, but promised to do
better in the rest of their games.
Thomas, who has been used part of
the timo on the varsity, Is out of the
game for some time with the measles.
There is 'an epidemic of this disease
at the A. T. O. house; and if it should
spread any further and get more bas
ketball men, it would prove fatal to
Cornhusker hopes for the season's
Bucess.
PROF. H. 8. LATIMER TO
ADDRESS MEN'S MEETING
Wl Speak on "University
Man's Opportunities" in
Y. M. 0. A. Rooms Tonight
Prof; H. B. Latimer will address the
men's meeting tonight in the Temple,
upon the subject,. "The University
Man's Opportunity; During 1918." Y. M.
C A. officials urge everyone to start
the New Year right and "get the
habit arid they promise some fine
meetings for the year.
The Y, "M. C. A. officers say that
the. Y. Ml C. A, has' had an unusually
flourishing year, and a still more pros
perous one 13 predicted for 1018. They
believe that the principal" reason for
this is that people are coming to re
gard the Y. M. C. A. and itB work in a
different light from formerly. The or
ganization was once thought to bo a
shelter for timid and "sisstfied" young
men, but it Is now universally admitted
that the organization is now doipg In
valuable work for Boldlers both In the
camps' and in the flrst-Hno trenches,
and receives nothing but praise from
its soldiers. And the officers point out
that the work at home is now of al
most as great importance and value
as the work" abroad, in spite of the
fact that the national secretary once
pointed his finger at Nebraska as th?
hardest university for Y. M. C. iL
work In the country. Their motto now
1s" to give Nebraska the record of be
lng the ' best University In the coun
try to" do this work In.
