ASKS FOR STUDENTS' AID CAMPAIGN FOR $100,000 ENDS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. NEW BUILDING HELP TO UNIVERSITY Members of Faculty and Prominent Students Interested Actively in Movement for Associa tion Home. The Lincoln city Y. M. C. A. Is on the home atrotch of a "short term" campaign to ralso $100,000 in ten days to erect a modern building for the 1,240 young men and boys whom It now counts In its membership. The canvass, which started Septem ber 17 with a dinner at the Commer cial Club, tendered by W. A. Selleck. one of the prominent business men of this city, to those who had volun teered to raise the money, has beqn successful thus far, but It is going to be -a big task to secure the balance by Wednesday night, when the under taking ceases. There will be no ex tension of tlm6. After the meeting hold on Mondny of thiB week the grand total was $75,006, leaving $24,994 to be obtalnod in the remaining two days. Students Interested. The length of time that the stu dents of the University of Nebraska who rosldo In Lincoln ought to be sufficient reason why they should sup port a movement of this character, apart from the commendable work that it is doing for both students and young men in business or the profes sions. Many of the students take full advantage of the opportunities of fered by the Lincoln Y. M. C. A. and some of them have subscribed already. The student body of the university outfit to have a share in the enter prise. During a similar campaign at Nash ville, Tenn., last spring there was a Vnnderbllt committee that did splen did work among the students at the college bearing that name, raising considerable more than $2,000. A num ber of the professors contributed liber ally and at least one of them waB an active -worker throughout the canvass. The same can be said of Yale when a campaign for $180,000 was conduct ed at New Haven last April. The uni versity authorities took such interest In the work of the Y. M. C. A. at New Haven that Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., secretary of the Yale association, was the chairman of tho campaign execu tive committee, which had charge of, the entire undertaking. International Secretary C. S. Ward, who has been dlreotlng these "short term" cam- . palgns all over the North American continent, states, that "the work of the college associations and that of the city associations, are so mutually interdependent that the prosperity of one affects greatly the prosperity of the other." Therefore, co-operation between tho two is always to be ex pected. Campaign Headquarters. Subscriptions are being received at tfyo headquarters, '139 South 11th .'street. Information regarding the movement can be had there or at the Y. M. C. A. building, 13th and P streets. Tho committees engaged in this big undertaking need all of the support they can get to make the last meeting Wednesday night a success ful closing of the canvass and assist ance from tho students of the univer sity will bo -welcomed. There are flvo emombers of the fac- . ulty who are actively engaged in can- ,-vassIng for subscriptions, as members of the campaign committees: E. M. Rutlodge, E. H. Clark and Professors "0. M."

New yells for Nebraska, unique specialty stunts, and the very latest In rooting novelties on the boards, J. S. Elliott and H. O.

For the Dakota game nothing big Is planned. There will be no rally be fore the game and It Is not likely that the new stunts will be used next Saturday. They will be saved for the more important games later In the sea son. The one thing that the rooting leaders do want tho Nebraska students to do Is to learn the official South Dakota yell in order that it may he given as an act of courtesy to the vis iting team. It is planned to give the yell of tho visiting team at each game as the team comes upon the Held. No matter how bitter rivals the visitors may be, the rooting leaders believe .that they should be treated right. Tho official yell of South Dakota follows.

CAMPBJLL AND HOFFMAN BOTH OUT Three-Cornered Race Possible In the Junior Class Only One Man Is Announced for Freshman Presidency. " Politicians were Tmsy as the pro verbial bee about tho campus yester day. In fact, school had not begun until candidates were out for tho pres idencies of three classes, the senior, junior, and freshmen. Two aspirants for tho leadership of the upper-classmen are Fred W. Hoff man and R. E. Campbell, while A. M. Oberfolder In tho Junior class and Coo Buchanan in the freshman class have liad the field to themselves. Fred W. Hoffman, who first an nounced his candidacy for tho senior class, is a member of tho Acacia fra ternity. Ho has taken an active In terest In tho political affairs of his class during his three years at college. His first appearance In active politics was made In liu freshman year, when he nominated George Wallace for president. In his second year ho was treasuror of his class and last year he nominated Paul Yates for tho presi dency or the junior class. ' Make Platforms. Hoffman claims to stand for a square deal. He Is most interested, he says, In affiliating the colleges; In removing whatever remains of tho antagonistic feeling which at times has existed be tween the various colleges. He claims to be anxious to see that, oho college Is not more favored than another. Hoffman will graduate from the col lege of technical agriculture and has a number of enthusiastic friends behind him. - It. E. Campbell of Dmaha, the other candidate, is backed by an equally en thuslastlc number of men who are out hustling support, Campbell is a mom bpr of teh Alpha Tau Omega frater nity, the Innocents, antl the Iron Sphinx.- Ho is a senior In the en gineering college, and while he, has, held no office jn his class, yet; he has always' taken a keen Interest In its political affairs, B.o'th. candidates are putting forth strenuous efforts to line up tlxe voters . .(Continued on page 2.)

To date there have been 1G1 more stu dents enrolled for this somoster than for tho Arts someator of 1008-1909. Four more thnn 1,900 studonts en rolled beforo the close of tho regular registration week laBt Saturday night. This was a total of 255 more than tho number registering a yonr ago and was fully 50 greater Increase than had boon expected by tho reglBtrnr's office. Em ployes of Registrar Harrison had ex pected 'that the first week's registra tion would total about 200 more than tho figures showed for last year. Their anticipations were run over by 55. Light Yesterday. Yesterday was exceptionally light, however, and the totalB last night dif fered by only 100. Tho reason for the comparative lightness of Monday's en rollment probably lay In the early registration of tho undergraduates. This week Is specially reserved for tho graduate students and for teachers of tho Lincoln city schools. Undergrad uates are supposed to havo registered last week or to be Hahlo to a $3 fine. Last year there wore a goodly number who delayed registration and paid the line, or at least fell liable to It. Tho efforts of tho registrar's office this year paused an unusually early regis tartion and consequently the first week's total rose at the expenso of the second week figures. The enrollment of graduates yester day was not so heavy as In former years, and this aided In bringing the totals down. 4, Registration of the post-grads and for tho teachers continues all this week. Probably a hundred more will enroll by Saturday night. . i GENERAL PERSHING IN CITY. t; if Organizer of Pershing' Rifles Visits His Sisters While on Leave of Absence. General John J.
