American Eied Cross Faces Biggest Year ... UN Quota Set at $2,500 With the biggest year is history facin the Ked Cross, it cillcd on the University of Nebraska to contribute $L.r00 1 the present War fund. Never before having been called on to send relief to many distant lands, the American Red Cross lias been forced to depend more and more on individual contributions to meet the needs of victims of war and disaster. To meet this need, the students of Nebraska, like other universities, have been given a quota to reach by March 6, which officials say should be a chat- linge to all loyal minded students. The war campaign for funds, to be begun on this campus March 1 and continued through March 6 by stu dent clubs and organizations, will not only bo met, but surpassed and raised to three thousand dollars, officials hop?d. .Because of the re doubled effort in every field of the Red Cross, every student will be reached through various cam pus agencies now being organized and set up, and given the oppor tunity to contribute during the drive. Aid Goes Direct. The first dollar of every pledge goes toward membership, and everything over one dollar will go to the War fund, and from this fund, it goes direct to the fight ing men on foreign soil. There will be a meeting of all Red Cross captains in the Union ballroom at 7:30 this evening. Supt. M. C. Lefler of the Lincoln public schools will address the campaign officers on Red Cross war work. Organ ization of the campaign will be discussed. All drive officers must be present. Relief in foreign lands, by and through the Red Cross valued at more than $63,000,000, has been distributed to millions of men, women and children in Great Brit ian, China and Russia. As the needs of the allies grow greater each day, the extent to which re lief supplies will continue to go overseas depends entirety on the nation's response to the war fund appeal and more particularly to the response of the university stu dent body. What, No Stamp! Then bo Absent In Class Today At 9:30 a. m., Tuesday, in 303 Social Science, the students of Prof. F. C. BloodVaalesmanship class will present a war stamp book with one stamp before they are given the 'present' check in Frofessor Blood's grade book. The idea, which bears fur ther investigation, is the instruc tors; the cooperation, voluntary, is of the entire class. Two Tassel members, Li I a Howell, president, and Grace Steckley, tipped off as to the conditions, will be at the door to supply forgetful members with the pre-requisites.

New People, New Faces Is Code For New Play New people and new faces in the next University Theater pro duction, "What Every Woman Knows'' by Sir James M, Barrte, is the aim of Joe Zimmerman, director of the University Theater. Stu dents who have never appeared in any of the previous productions or who have had only bit parts are the ones Mr. Zimmerman would like to cast in this coming play.

It is not necessary to have read or seen the play before coming to tryouts, and interested students will not be required to come both nights. "What Every Woman Knows" will be the most extravagently staged and costumed production of the year. The play is set in Scot land around the year 1890. Executive Board Cancels Spring Party The annual ag spring party which was scheduled for Friday, March 13, was cancelled at the last meeting of the ag executive board. The reason for this action is because of the uncertainty as to the enrollment of the college at the scheduled time. The spring party is one of the larger parties on the ag campus and is the party at which the Goddess of Ag riculture is "usually presented. The details for the election and presentation of the goddess are as yet unsettled, but something will be worked out in the near future. If the enrollment of male stu dents on this campus will merit a party during March the ag so cial council will pain some kind of entertainment, according to Betty Ann Tisthamer, president of the club.

A special feature of this year's exhibit will be canvasses showing soldiers at work, sol diers on duty, the assembly lines, ships, and tlie foreign lands where our troops are sta tioned. Not only does the exhibit present the many aspects of a country at war, but the whole tone o fthe show reflects Hie temper and race of the country, and life as it is being lived at the moment. There will be the usual number of portraits, rural and industrial scenes, that give rest and beauty to those living through strenuous days. There will be more pictures than usual that deal with religious scenes. This is also a eom mon phenomena in war time. And there are those usual, or unusual, as you ehoose to call them, pictures of phantasy and whimsy. Some people take them seriously and stray perhaps for moment into a dream world. Others are shocked that such a serious business as art should amuse them. But many persons will be amused. The exhibit, this year will feature local work done here in Lincoln or elsewhere in the state. Of local interest as well, but with state wide scope, will be the group of paintings by artists from Lincoln, that will attract a good deal of attention and much favorable comment These pictures are chosen by invitation and represent the best work being done in this community. Again, water colors, drawings, and studies showing how different artists work in preparing for . their more ambitious can vasses will be on display. In the last few years several pictures have been bought by visitors for their homes, and this latter type will be presented for this reason. As usual the opening Sunday will feature "Living Pictures," that program which many look forward to each year. This year stress will be laid upon reproducing pictures that have ben painted at other war periods in our history. This theme, while dominant, still al lows a wide choice of subject matter, as the committee considers it more important to re produce entertaining and attractive pictures than to try to show those with historical in terest only.
