Action was taken Sunday when Hie representatives m fraternities and sororities met witr. the senior men's honorary organization to discuss plans for the reduction of prices of luxuries. A list or resolu tions , was drawn up- and each r' pre sent&tivo given a copy to present the Monday evening meeting of hio org nlzation. At the meetings of the iiany social organizations Moalav e -eniug, tho resolutions wore p::se-I :n.d amendments suggested. Tuesday ""' ins me presiaents of the ormf-i iHlions met ag-.un with tho Innocouts. J and amendments were submitted to i rie resolutions as drawn up. After a great deal of deliberation and Jo bate the resolutions were alup'ei with ..nier-clnients, and are cf-.-O.iv-' .luarj, 1920. These resolu; ck? ;ri are signed by the presidents or the organizations who were given the power to bind their organizations to abide by the resolutions as adopted. The resolutions fix a maximum chars for dance Jiall rentals, pay to orches tras, servant charges and cost per plate for banquets, subscription d-.r.oe rcites, and bind the organizations t respect these rates. The student body, it is believed, will bac'; the movement to the limit. Action win he taken with members of the organia- tions who fail to observe the itsolu-1 tions, and it is hoped for the bettor ment of the student body that a re duction of prices will be immediate.

Students are complaining more thl year than for many years of the flnnncial strain Involved in attending tho University. Money is so tied up all over the country that "the folks at home" in some cases cannot send as much money as they could a year ago. Students are trying in every way to cut down expenses. Many are working part-time while they go to school. But even economy and work will not suffice to keep som students in school according to a re port that has come in. It is always advisable for student to go straight through college withou stopping if they can. Staying out of pchciol and working a year or tw would not seriously injure anyono and might he a positive benefit to some if they would be sure to complete thoi education as soon as they wore tinan cially able. The great danger Is tha they will never return to school Therefore, no matter how much stu dents may be interested in their edit ration at present, it is not wise for them to leave school If they can pos sibly avoid it. There are available loan funds large enough to help a large number through the rest of the vear in the University. Students should take advantage of these. Per haps some could do more outside work and less school work. In that way it would take a longer time to complete their courses, but they would not be in danger of losing interest in school. ARE YOU SUCCEEDING IN SCHOOL? A number of students are under the impression that so long as they "get by" they are making a success of their school life. Nothing is farther from the truth. As one Uni versity professor once said, "Get by means good-bve." The student who makes himself believe that he is a diplomat when he gets away with some good grades with little effort expended is making his future a more difficult thing to face than it would be if he put eery effort forth and failed. The expenditure of energy that the average student puts on his work is sufficient to get him a pass- ing grade but that expenditure o energy could be trebled and yet the student would suffer very little from the added exertion. Two hours spent through the remainder of hi- t; an,j can apply it in a practical ,T;,V -n-i.r, tho occasion so demands, jt ;s nrt wnat one "gets by" with in college but what stays by one when , leaves college that determines the (' zrrp of his success. NEBRASKA'S LOAN RECORD.

Our state ranks among the lowest in the Union. Are we Ne braskans who led all the other states in war eaving3 sales going to let our record remain thus? True, money is scarce, but is It more scarce In Nebraska than in Kansas? Are we to be patriotic only during war and then forget all about our duty to our country? You may ask, "What are studetns to do? Students, who are never supposed to have money, and who have still less thrn usual at present," It is not expected that students gen erally will buy Treasury Sav;ngs Securities, but they can use their influence. They can tell people how Nebraska ranks and help to create a feeling among Nebraskan.i that it is heir duty to purchase Treasury Sav- -ngs Securities.
