Y. W. WORKER SAYS
GIRLS THINK MORE
Miss Wygal, District Student
Secretary, Confers with
Local Heads Friday.
That the thinking girls of the uni
versities are more serious than ever
before and the thoughtless girls are
mo!c frivolous was tne ceclaration
of Miss Winifred Wygal, Studen' Sec
retary for the North Central Field of
the Y. W. C. A., when she was in
Lincoln, Friday.
Miss Wygal was here to confer with
the Y. WW. C. A. secretaries of the
city about questions for discussion
to be brought up at the conference
at Cleveland, Ohio, next April. She
took this opportunity to interview
the members of the University Y. W.
n a nnhinpt. During the war she
had charge of the Y. W. C. A. work
at Camp Funston prior to the war,
she was a local secretary In Nevada.
In her present office her special duty
is to visit universities.
"Will you tell me what the girls
are thinking about," she was asked.
Perhaps the question was stated ra
ther bluntly, for she laughed in
amusement and replied that she
would be glad to do so.
Interest in Public Questions
"The girls are thinking more now
than ever before," she said. men
she told of their interest in vocations,
not just the old ones, but many new-
ones. She described their activity along
the line of social and economic prob
lems showing that girls not only
are thinking about and discussing
these subjects, but are taking college
courses along this l!ae. She attrib
uted the growing interest in public
questions largely to a realization, on
the part of women, of the responsi
bilities that go hand in hand with
the ballot.
The question was asked, "Has the
war made a difference in the thinking
of the girls?"

SENNING OFFERS COURSE '
IN STATE POLICE POWER
Professor J. P. Senning will give a
course this semester dealing with the
constitutional aspects of society and
economic legislation. It is an at
tempt to study the public policy with
reference to various types of legisla
tion that benefit society in every pos
sible respect, as regulating the hours
of labor, Improving general conditions
of labor, public health and social wel
fare. The class will study what Prof.
Senning terms the state police power,
seeking to find what principle is
involved In each problem. He thinks
that the world has come to a differ
ent viewpoint in political philosophy.
The whole structure of government
is based on the idea of individual
liberty but we now think of the right
of the group. A law may even en
croach upon the rights of an Individ
ual and yet be good. No individual
can engage in a business harmful to
the general welfare.
All
STUDENTS SHOULD
PURCHASE "RAGS"
W. A. A. Solicitors to Scour
Campus for Daily Nebraskan
Subscriptions.
Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Alpha
Epsilon First to Report
100 Per Cent.
The second battle In the Daily Ne
braskan subscription campaign will
be waged today on the city and farm
campuses between fifty W. A. A.
solicitors and about 4,000 university
students. Th W. A. A. forces are
confident they can capture a mijorlty
of the students and hold each person
for a ransom of $1.25 which will en
title them to a semester's subscrip
tion to the Daily Nebraskan.
The campaign will be continued
this week by co-ed solicitors until the
subscription list will warrant a cessa
tion of hostilities between the work
ers and the students. Reports indi
cate that the campaign is favorably
progressing but the Nebraskan offi
cials state every effort must be made
by the workers until the desired goal
is reached.
Fraternities and sororities have
been asked to assist in the subscrip
tion drive. Phi Delta Theta was the
first fraternity to report 100 per cent
and Sigma Alpha Epsilon was second
to announce 100 per cent. Each frat
ernity is expected to lake action at
their weekly meetings. Last year
nearly every Greek letter society
unanimously subscribed to the sheet.
The circulation has been exceedingly
low during the last few semesters and
it is hoped that this week's drive will
boast the subscription well above the
desired goal. The price of the paper
is $1.25 this year. The high cost of
print paper, ink and labor has neces
sitated the increase. Newspaper men
assert the subscription price does not
compare with the cost of production,
