STUDENTS ASKED TO HELP

Book for Nebraska Men
In Camps
Only a Bmall percentage of. Jun
iors and Seniors have as yet made
any arrangements for hating their in
dividual pictures for the 1918 Corn
husker taken, according to H. B.
Thompson, business manager for the
annual. The time set for having all
these pictures In is not far off, and
the management urges all members
of the two classes to make engage
ments with the photographers imme
diately. Some time ago, cards- were sent out
to all Juniors and Seniors whose
names and addresses were available
fo the managements requesting that
the pictures be taken "as soon as
possible. These warnings have been
for' the most -part unheeded,-and a
large percentage of the pictures still
remain to be taken. - If there were
any who ; were missed, and who re
ceived no card, it was not' because
their pictures were not wanted, but
because their names or addresses
were unknown to the management
Everyone's picture Is wanted in the
annual who classifies either : as a
Junior or as a Senior, no matter In
what college or division' of the Uni
versity he may be enrolled.
January 26 Time Limit
There Is no time to waste. To be
placed in the engravers' hands,- every
picture must be In by January 26th,
a week from tomorrow, and after
that positively - no pictures will be
accepted. This leaves only a week
In which to arrange for sittings. The
pictures are preferably to be taken
at the Townsend ' studios, because
arrangements have been made there
to provide for -the" best service pos:
slble. Extra photographers have been
secured, and the crowd can be han
dled as fast as It comes. It would
be advisable, however, to phone for
a definite engagement before going
for a sitting.
This is the last notice that can
be given of the necessity for at
tending to this matter at once. There
will be no Nebraskan - published dur
ing next week, because of the exam
inations, so the students will have
to take it upon their own responsi
bility to get the pictures taken be
fore Saturday.
Senior girls may have their pic
tures taken In their caps and gowns,
and it is expected that most of them
will avail themselves of this, privi
ege. Organizations also are requested to
hurry their pictures in as rapidly
as possible. The latest possible time
that they can get the material in
will be February 2. - -Will
Be Sent to Camp
The management is working under
disadvantageous conditions, and asks
the student body to give It all the
support possible, In every way pos
sible. If all the material is in on
time, it will be a great help. It has
always been Ihe custom to publish
a picture of every Junior and Sen
los, and of every organization of any
kind of the school. It'ls particularly
desirable that the classes and clubs

MAY. LIMIT NEBRASKAN
TO FOUR ISSUES A WEEK
Students Given Opportunity to
Decide Future 'Policy of
Campus Newspaper
Do students want a five day edi
tion' of the' Daily Nebraskan?
This is the question that hajs been
submitted by the student publication
board for the student body to decide.
The decision must come in the next
drive to- be'- made by the Nebraskan
fof subscriptions.
During the past semester not over
five hundred students have been 'list
ed on the ' subscription page. Prob
ably no less than three times that
number have been the daily readers
of its contents. It Is evident' that
every " reader "' and person on the
campus should support the financing
of such an edition without fail. It Is
necessary to have this financial co
operation if the present 5-day schedule
of Tho - Nebraskaa -ia - lt - cciitmae.
Unless at least seven hundred sub
scribers are counted on the list for
rext semester the publication board
announces that it will reduce the
number of publications to four a
week. This plan will eliminate the
Monday Issue. -
The power of determining the pol
icy of the Nebraskan is placed by
this question squarely before the
student and faculty body. Fratern
ities and sororities together with
other organizations are given an op
portunity to show their interest in
the welfare of University functions.
The Daily Nebraskan is the only
present representation that the Uni
versity has with her sister institu
tions. ' It is the medium through
which the spirit of our school 13
conveyed to other colleges. To allow
it to drop In the number of Issues
because Nebraska students were not
enthusiastic enough to support its
subscription would be an unpleasant
re flection on the general spirit of the
school.
Organizations should take an ac
tive interest In this question and pre
sent it at their Monday night busi
ness meetings. Individuals should not
hesitate to give their willing support
to make the campaign for subscrip
tion beginning Wednesday the first
day of the registration a complete
enough success to insure a full five
day issue of The Dally Nebraskan
to the students and faculty members
of the University for the remainder
of the year.
Tue subscription price for the
pemester will be fl.

day on the state farm campus. At
9:30 o'clock in the forenoon the fol
lowing talks were given in the as
sembly room of Agriculture hall:
"Marketing From the Viewpoint of
the Dealer," W. C. Beachley.
"Marketing From the Buyers View

"Good Taste in Street Clothes"
MIms Ruth Curtis, i f the Home Eco
nomics department.
"The History of Costume" Miss
Katherine Cranor, assistant professor
of home economics.
The Nebraska Home Economics as
sociation has held its meetings . In
connection with the organized agri
culture since the work of the organ
ization is so closely allied with the
agricultural work. - The meetings have
been very well attended, averaging
between two hundred fifty and tnree
hundred.
The Home Economics department of
the University has sewing exhibits
and cooking demonstrations ' at the
city Auditorium, in connection with
the wheat, corn and apple Bhow. Some
very Interesting new foods have been
used in these demonstrations, the ob
ject being to show the great possibili
ties in substitutes for the staple foods,
wheat and meat. Perhaps the most
Interesting product is "dasheen," a
new vegetable which Is taking the
place of the potato. It looks some
thing like a large potato, with big
round sprouts, and grows under the
ground. It tastes like a potatoe, also,
and is prepared in practically the
same way. The soy bean, a Chinese
bean which hrfs been used for fod
der until recently, is now being used
as flour for muffins, and also in
salads. These beans are yellow,
black and green. The pinto bean, a
small red bean related to the Mexi
can bean, is used for salads and pinto
bean loaf. The dasheen and soy bean
are southern products, but grow well
In other places.

That it be legalized for a 'reputable
physician to administer death to mal
formed idiotic children or to adults

STAGE ALL SET FOR
CLASH WITH FUNSTON
First Game of Season Will Be
in Auditorium at 8 O'clock
"NEBRASKA WILL FIGHT"
Record Crowd Is Expected at Game
for Benefit of Camp Funston
Athletic Fund
The Nebraska University basketball
season will be officially opened tomor
rom night at 8 o'clock, in the city
Auditorium, with a game between the
Cornhusker varsity and a team from
Camp Funston, composed of various
former college stars now in Uncle
Sam's service. An admission of fifty
cents and $1 will be charged. Every
cent of the money taken in at the
door goes to swell the Camp Funston
athletic fund, which is intended to
provide funds necessary to secure the
proper equipment for the athletic
teams of the camp, and to defray their
traveling expenses.
Unless something happens before
the game, the Cornhusker quintet will
go into the game in the pink of con
dition. Every man will be up on bis
toes all the time, and the soldiers
will find that' the Nebraska fighting
spirit is the kind of spirit that wins
games even against odds. The team
was given a heavy scrimmage yester
day afternoon, and showed np as well
as ever before. The squad has evi
dently gotten over the slump period,
and is now developing unexpected
form and speed at every practice. To
day, the team will be given only
light workout, the last one before the
game.
Funston is still an unknowii quan
tity. Nothing definite Is known' bt
the line-up, save that it is sure to be
a collection of stars. Kansas beat
them last week, but the Funston team
was made up largely of their second
string squad. Every one of the first
team that will play here tomorrow
night. The soldiers will come here
while on a trip on which they will also
play Wesleyan and Creighton. " '
Nebraska Line-Up Not Known
Coach Stewart has not. yet an
nounced who will start the game for
Nebraska, and since there are several
men who are showing up almost
equally well for some of the positions,
it is difficult to gueRS Just what does
comprise the first team. However, if
the coach plays his men according to
the way he has lined them up in this
week's practice, the list will , read
something like this: Right forward,
Jackson; alternates, Strohmer and
Eldrege; left forward, Schellenberg;
alternate, Thomas; center, Hubka,
alternate, Phillips; right guard; Ad
kins; alternate, Spear; left guard,
Gerhardt; alternate, Kellogg. Thomas
and Spear were given their varsity
suits yesterday, and will complete the
regular squad. The suits were (not
available to give to them before. ,
Promoters of the game are making
preparations for a large crowd, and
expect to have the Auditorium very
nearly filled. They believe that the
combined facts that this is the first
game of the season, that it is bound
to be a fast- and close one. and that
all receipts are going to the benefit of
soldier boys in the camp, will draw
the biggest crowd on record.
