DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY Jennings Asks Participation Of All Organizations in Relief Effort. Continuing with a marked lack of success, the Daily Xe braskan's drive for old clothes among the organized houses on the campus, will end Wednes day afternoon when students start on the annual trek homeward for Christmas vacation. So far very few contributions have been made, only six organizations hav ing been placed on the honor roll, Phi Mu entering the ranks of donors over the week-end. With an offering of $3.50. "So far the Daily Nebraskan's charity drive for old clothes has been markedly unsuccessful," stated Bernard Jennings, business manager of the paper. Monday. "Altho many promises have been CONTRIBUTORS. ALPHA OMICRON PI (Largest donation). ALPHA SIGMA PHI. ALPHA CHI OMEGA. KAPPA ALPHA TH ETA (First contributer). CHI PHI. PHI MU. made, few of them have been car ried out. Those groups which have promised to cooperate have until Wednesday noc to offer their contributions." Will Call For Donations. Any old clothes or other articles which might be useful to Lincoln's needy, and have been discarded may be brought to the Daily Ne braskan office in the basement of University hall, or a Nebraskan representative may be asked to come after them. According to the Social Welfare offices, need in Lin coln and Lancaster county is espe cially great this winter. What with the country entering its fifth winter of the depression, every con tribution on the part of students would be of great usefulness. All Apparel Acceptable. Any kind of clothing is accept able, such as old shoes, coats, shirts, dresses, and many other articles of clothing which have been contributed already. It was stated by those conducting the drive that there should be no hesi tancy in offering clothes in bad ronriitinn because the Red Cross keeps a mending establishment which makes a business oi renovtu ing and repairing clothes. Last week members of the faculty, administration, and Lin coln residents gave their sanction and approval to the campaign and jrged cooperation on the part of ah organized groups and other student cn the campus in making the drive a success. Presidents of many r! the organizations ad dressed their pledges and active members on the subject at Mon day evening meetings. Name Largest Donor. The largest contribution made thus far was that given by Alpha Omicron Pi and the first was that given by Kappa Alpha Theta. Many others of the houses planned to get their clothes closets cleaned out by Tuesday morning, and to bring old clothes gathered up to the Nebraskan office sometime during the day. Pernard Jennings, supervising the campaign, stated Monday that the eyes of many citizens of Lin coln are on this charity drive so that they may determine whether the student body actually does have enough interest in the outside world to help in its functions. Tuesday .ebraskan Is Last Before l ocation Since Christmas vacation be gin at noon Wednesday, this morning's issue of The Daily Nebraskan will be the last be fore the holidays.

Condra. While students are more famil iar with the studio as the place for taking group pictures for the Corn husker. its ch:ef use is in connec tion with the research activities of the Conservation and Survey Divi sion of the university. The new equipment was installed at the in stigation of Dr. Condra. director of the division. Needed New Equipment. Realizing the need of better fa cilities for photographing geolo logical maps and drawings for the university. Dr. Condra conferred with F. C. Rogers, technical expert of the Eastman Kodak company. Mr. Rogers, who has had wide ex perience in photography and in the erection of studios, recommended plans for improving the studio on the Nebraska campus, and he was chosen to install the equipment. Richard Hufnagle. a professional photographer trained especially for this position hy the Eastman company, operates the studio. The studio is one of the best equipped n th middlrwest.

Work on the new fields, which will be located just south of the stadium on the site of the old practice grounds, was started immediately.

Plowing of the old practice field was begun Monday preparatory to grading. From one to two feet of ground will be graded off and used to build up the steep slope down to the cinder track. The three new practice fields will run north and south, and altho short in length, they will be of official width. Plans for the construction ot cement bleachers were temporar ily suspended, according to Mr. Selleck. Since ninety percent of the grant must be spent for labor, the advisability of furnishing the additional money for the seats will be considered by the department. "The practice fields are the essen tial object of this program, and the seats will not need to be con sidered at the present time," stated Selleck. Ninety percent of the total ot 18,000 hours of work on the pro ject must be completed by Feb. 14. according to CWA regulations.
