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

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.

Basketball Tilts Between
Member Groups.
Immediately after Christmas
vacation, clubs of unaffiliated
men, which are members of the
Interclub council will start the
seeond annual interclub bas
ketball schedule in the coliseum.
Last year was the first season in
which the council sponsored a
schedule of basketball games be
tween the member clubs.
Harold Petz, who is university
intramural director, is cooperat
ing with the Interclub group in
outlining plans for the basketball
season, as well as for schedules in
several other sports, baseball and
volley-ball among them.
Erickson Is President
Wilbur Erickson was recently
elected president of the Interclub
council by representatives from
the various clubs in the Barb or
ganization. The vice-president of
the organization is Burton Marvin,
Alvin Kleeb is secretary, and Ced
ric Richards is treasurer.
About twenty-five clubs have
been included in the group thus fall
and their representatives are dele
gates and members of the Inter
club council. The showing made
this year represented a slight im
provement over mm oi iai rea
son. Urges Affiliation.
Erickson urges all Barb men
to either organize clubs of ten men
each, or apply for entrance into
some club as soon as possible. Any
unaffiliated man on the campus
who is interested in getting in the
organization is asked to write his
name and address on a slip of pa
per and place it in the box which
is on the bulletin board in the
Temple building.
Organised Two Years Ago.
The Interclub council was start
ed two years ago by a committee
which was appointed by the Stu
dent Council to perform that task.
That was in the spring of the
1931-32 school year. Willard
Young was named as the first
president. In the fall of last
school year the organizing went
on at a good rate, and by mid
winter there were twenty-five
clubs listed. A full intramural
basketball schedule was played by
about fifteen squads in two
leagues, of eight and seven teams.

University Studio With Some of Best

To Be One of Finest in United States
Since the installation of new equip
ment this summer, the campus stu
dio, located between Mechanic
Arts building and the greenhouse,
is the only studio of its kind owned
by an educational institution in the
United States, according to Dr.
George E. 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

that department. 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. The
grant of ten thousand dollars for
the work was made by the county
CWA board last Friday, after
presentation of the plan by .Mr
Solleck and Coach D. X. Bible.
Begin Preparations.
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.
Employees on the improvement
will be employed for six hours a
