Luch ring hopes to inaugurate a policy of "Athletics for everybody aiul ever body for athletics," at the Univer sity. This is not only a possible feat, but is quite, probable that it will be accomplished. A multitude of stu , deists who are mediocre athletic 1 would like to participate in some form of athletics but do not have the ability to keep up with the trained track, football and basketball men. They have ability to a certain degree, but not in their own minds to that extent which would warrant them taking active part in college athletics. This would be remedied and a gre?t deal of pleasure and profit would be forh coming if tl." students were compelled to tike up some form of physical training in the numerous Raines which pie op poitunlty for this training. At Westj Point the men are given an eppor tunity to take thei- choice? of the branch of sports iD which they will particippte individually. The men ma enter track, br.sketbaU, tennis foci bail, or any branch f standard ath letics. This not onjy improves the men individually, but gives them an opportunity to rest their minds and indulge n their -favorite sports. Too much study and too 'ittle real Amer ican outdoor exercise in the form of sports will tend to break down th; hea'.th of a student. Late hours and numerous trips to the theater or I dance are not recognized as recrea BASKETBALL PROSPECTS. s Indications are that the Cornhusk cr basket tossers have an interesting season before them. In the men that have been turning out for practice we have ample material for a good team. Schelknberg and a few othei of our most dependable men last yeni are not here, but their places will bo filled by men who played Freshman basketball last year. Those who are playing their second or third year of Cornhusker basketball can be ex pected to do better work than in previous seasons. Altogether, the prospect is that w will have fully as good a quintet this year as last. Our quintet will have to play a stiller schedule than usual,, Besides the Missouri Valley Conference games we are scheduled to nlay some of the strongest of the Big Ten teams. Notre D; me is also included in the schedule. Now that we are in the Missouri Con ference, an honor for our team to work for is the Missouri Valley cham pionship.. Nebraska has not held this for several years. The first basketball events of the season are the closed games to be played with Cotner and Wesleyan this week. These are preliminary to the regular schedule, which begins dur ing Christmas vacation whin our team goes to Illinois to play the Uni versity of Illinois, Northwestern an,: Illinois Wesleyan. The student body ;-tand. back of the team and is look j ing foiward to a good season f ; ; NVLraska. tion When they are too numerous. Outdoor exercise, fresh air and cle.'n athletics will build up the student's body and the student body until the brand of men turned out by the school ar esuch that it makes for a better 'school and a better state-. CONCENTRATION. Concentration is the source of sue m mdv. The ability to put one's r.A a task aDd do a through f thin kins is an accomplish t that Is rarely developed. Stu dents feel that the art of "getting by" should be developed instead of the real art, that of concentration More time is wasted and more work U done in tb attempt to perfect this imperfect art of "getting n a, .tmtiM than if really used up in school work. The training that ,iovlonment of an amuij 10 -"" .,t Hves Is the retain part of - n,. Ariucation. The power to put the mind to work on a task and keep it there in spito of surrounding disturbances and tempations is. a power that is the making of a great man. Slipshod work Is easy to rec h seen on every hand. but real, thorough, intensive work is a rare thing to be hold. A student goes to college primarily to get an education. The superficialities that 1-e comes in contact with are too often emphasized while the primary object of his attendance at the ,n K.itution that of study, is minimized. It Is the lack of will to woik and to develop a power of concentration, to get down and dig out matter for one's self that permits these su erficlal parts of student life to get the upper band and causes h.- loss of many valuable years. CAMPUS CHRISTMAS TREE. The All-University Christmas eel ebration planned for Wednesday eve ' ning is an Innovation upon the cam pus which deserves the support of the .tudent body. Contributions will be taken for a relief to be sent to the suffering student, in '.Europe.

Leaders of thinking in the I'nited Siate-s have come to the conclusion t'.u.t to put this country on a sounJ i.onomic hi.ftis the necessary., tiling t, Co i.s to remove the cause oi" tlic i:v.Si r.t economic conditions in o;liO. oord.s, to replace tile extravi-gant habits of i hi- American people wu hiibiis r tiirit't.

Certlf.cate. lii issuing these Securities the go- emment has two purposes, to obtain much-needed funds for the Treasury aril to establish habits of thrift in li e American people. For this leaser loans are asked for 'n small amounts, the amounts that have been habitual !y squandered. School children in the grades all over tne country havt lesponded. It s probable that, if they have money to lend, there are University students who could follow thfii;- example. We University stu dents think we are cutting down ex penses to the bare necessities, but we have lived in extravagance so long that we have aJmost lost the power to distinguish between luxuri- and necessities. The buying of Sav ings Securities is patriotic as well as profitable. UNI NOTICE Pre-Medic Basketball.

It was decide-d by that body that because, at the holiday time, boys m the various high schools throu?liou: the state, where there were formerly fraternities, might have a tendency to form themselves into cliques and thus start anew the organization again, this should be prevented il possible. Kach delegate -was ask-u to instruct the members of his fra ternity to discourage these actions on the part of any high school groups with which they might come in contact.
