Sherwood Eddy to Bring Message
Concerning the World Situation
To bring to the University of Ne
braska students a message concern
ing the world situation, neither
strongly -religious in character, nor
deeply concerned with the ills of col
lege students, but rather profoundly
interesting from the standpoint of
serious matters, Sherwood Eddy will
come here for a series of lectures
April 9, 10 and 11.
Assuming that the college student
is vitally interested in affairs of the
world and above all the problems
that now confront the world, Mr.
Eddy has taken such problems into
consideration and has given them
critical surveys to find out their true
status and a possible solution for
them.
In his lectures he will speak on
the questions:
Is Germany Broke?
Will France Break with England?
What About Evolution?
Can Eusiness Prosper Under the
Golden Rule? !
In lis second trip to' Nebraska, Mr.
Eddy has set a precedent. He is
so much in demand for lectures be

it possible to return to a school but
once every four years or more. So
pleased was he with the greeting and
good will shown at Nebraska two
years go, that he asked if arrange
ments could be made for a series
of addresses at Lincoln this spring.
Since his return from Europe and
the east, Mr. Eddy has been lectur
ing at eastern universities. While
in Carolina the committees published
pamphlets headed with "Rise Caro

Favorite Is Coming for Six Ad

Four large committees and an
executive committee are at work on
the plans for receiving Sherwood

the work of Sherwood Eddy.
The gereral chairman stressed the

ANNUAL CALLS FOR
ORGANIZATION COPY
Histories Must Be Handed in to
Comhusker Before Sat
urday. All organizations must get their
histories for the Cornhusker in be
fore Saturday noon this week ac
cording to Wendell Berge, managing
editor. If they do not have writeups
in by this time they will have to' ac
cept ones given them by members of
the Cornhusker staff and will not
have the privilege of submitting their
own.
This ruling was made yesterday by
the managing-editor because a num
ber of the organizations have not
turned in their copy and are holding
up the progress of several sections
in the book. The work of editing the
copy has already been begun and a
number of sections will go to press
within a few days. The borders and
subdivision pages have already been
printed.
Some of the histories handed in io
not come up to the required 250
words and such writeups are being
expanded by the copy readers to meet
the minimum.
"Students should realize that the
work of collecting, organizing, and
editing copy for over 200 organiza
tions is a trying job and they should
co-operate with the staff as much
as possible," stated Berge last night.
Each organization is required to sub
mit a 250 word history, a key to its
picture, and a list of its officers.

OFFER ANOTHER
SINGLE TAX PLAN
Council Advances New Pro
posal for Support of Stu
dent Activities.
WOULD HAVE THREE
DRIVES EACH YEAR
An alternative single tax plan
which provides for three drives each
year has been suggested by the stu
dent council as a result of the opposi
tion which developed to the original
proposal. The new plan involves
three seperate campaigns, one for
athletics, another for activities, and
a third for charities.
Clifford M. Hicks, president of the
council, stated yesterday that the new
proposal would enable students to
save money and would reduce the
number of drives on the campus, al
though there would be three insted
o one as originally proposed.
The plan provides for the sale of
athletic tickets for the year such as
are now sold which would admit to
all athletic contests but to no other
events.
Activities tickets would be sold, for
about six dollars, which would include
the Cornhusker, Daily Nebraskan,
Glee Club, Debate, Awgwjan and mis
cellaneous activities.
A third drive would be conducted
for all charities. The Y. M. C. A. and
Y. W. C. A. would be requested to
combine all their drives and all other
charities would be included in a single
campaign. The estimated allotment
for charities per student would be
about two dollars.
Students would be able to buy any
or all of the three tickets offered.
Any of the individual Items included
in the activities ticket could be pur
chased by students at the regular
prices but a considerable saving
would be made possible by the com
bination. The student council hopes that stu
dents will express opinions on the
matter freely and state which of the
two plans which now have been pre
sented they consider the; more desir
able.
