hall to form an organization known
as tho "Omaha Club." Tho avowed
purpose of this organization Is to
draw from the metropolis many Btu-

ern schools or to neighboring state
universities. Social functions nnd po
litical schemes are strictly barred

After several lengthy discussions
upon tho purpose and proposed lines
of activity of tho organization, It waB
decided to elect a temporary presi
dent who should appoint a constitu
tion committeo and set tho date for
another meeting.
Short addresses by Ralph Doud and
Stuart Gould brought clearly before
the mombors tho pi n of campaign.
Among other things the club proposes
to levy upon each member a nominal
assessment which shall be used to
send Borne university speaker to tho
Omaha High School at Commence
ment time.
After the nomination of Boveral
candidates, Sam Carrier, '13, was
unanimously elected temporary presi
dent. A second meeting will bo held
in the near future, at which time a
constitution will bo adopted nnd tho
organization completed.
