Indications that the Panhellenic council wilt co-operate with the In terfraternity council in sponsoring a Christmas Charity Fund drive were reached at a committee meet ing: of the Interfraternity council yesterday afternoon, according to Bob Lau, chairman of the group. Miss Julia Simanek, president of the Panhellenic council, declared that the council, at its meeting on Monday night, decided not to hold a Christmas party this year.

The Daily Nebraskan will co-operate in the campaign by publishing every day the contributors and the lump sum received. Their money will be used by the Community Chest. Miss Simanek promised that the secretary of the Panhellenic coun cil would call the sorority houses and notify them of the plans that were adopted by the Interfrater nity council, and suggest that they make their contributions to the fund. Simanek Praises Plan. "I think the idea for the Christ mas Charity fund is an excellent idea, and I feel sure that the soror ities will co-operate in putting the drive over successfully," Miss Si manek said.

STATEMENTS UNOFFICIAL' Directors Say Grid Sport Is Not Advertising Scheme Charged. Football is not an advertising scheme at the University of Ne braska, according to unofficial statements made Wednesday by university athletic officials regard ing an editorial appearing in Tba Daily Nebraskan charging that generally the game Is played "for the glory of the alma mater." At a meeting of members of the athletic department Wednesday noon, the editorial was discussed but no action was taken. "We decided not to give dignity, to the editorial by making an of ficial statement," declared Herbert D. Gish, athletic director. The director, together with Coach D. X. Bible and Prof. Rob ert D. Scott, chairman of the athle tic board, gave "unofficial" views on the editorial, which deplored the lack of emphasis on cnaracter training in football because of over. emphasis on gate receipts. "It is true, he stated, that there are some universities wnicn ars using football as an advertising scheme but be believes them to be in the minority. "I should say that 80 percent or the colleges and universities do not use football for that purpose," the board chairman asserted. "I cer tainly know Nebraska doesn't!" Because the sport has increased in popularity with resultant in crease in gate receipts, it has be come necessary for the universities and colleges to "sponsor or con trol it, he pointed out. But this baa not been as a means of adver tising the schools, he said. "Football is not an advertising scheme at the University of Ne braska," Director Gish said unof ficially. "The university is obligated to its student body to develop a rec reational program and it is only through football receipts that ws can get the necessary funds." Football at Nebraska, he added. Is a combination of a sport and a means of raising revenue for a sports program.
