SOLICITORS REPORT SUCCESS Professor Hoffman Speaks at Red Room Dinner, Comparing Budget of Y. M. C. A. to "Overhead Expense" of Factory. "The University Y. M. C A. is the natural socinl center for all Univer sity men and might well be called the young men's club of the Univer sity. At this club every man, re gardless of nationality, social posi tion or creed, is welcome. Every normal man needs an outlet to his social nature and ought to come in contact with his fellows in a social way, Many a man has been a fail ure because of his inability to mix with his fellows The association offers a Bplendid mixing place for University men. "The Y M. C. A cafeteria Is prov ing to be a fine place where Uni versity men can gather around a common board, and is solving the high cost of living for the Univer sity man. "The association can be made an increasingly greater force in the moral and social life of the Univer sity and deserves the moral and financial support of every man who is truly interested in the highest welfare of the University. "Asst. Prof, of Zoology." "PROFESSOR BARKER, The first official day of the Univer sity Y. M. (' A financial campaign closed last night at the workers' din ner in the red room of the city asso ciation Team leaders turned In their reports at this feed The contribu tions of the first day easily equaled the daily average which must be main tained in order to raise the budget. A number of the solicitors related their experiences for the benefit of each other A number had secured contributions as high as $10, and some of these amounts came from freshmen Tho meeting closed with a talk by Professor Hoffman, who answered an objection met bo often during the day, "I don't get any benefit from the Y. M. C. A and so why should I help pay its bills?" The professor Btated that no student can escape the benefit from the Y AI C A because Kb influence surrounds and envelopes all University life, forms ideals, fills a social need, tones up the very air we breathe "The expense of the association is analo gous to 'overhead expense' in facto ries; while, very essential it can not be charged to any one account nor in dividual, but is divided equally among all. So this Y Al C A. budget is overhead expense' in this institution and must be borne by all, for it affects all, directly or indirectly." The Count and Countess Luetzow, who last spring were gueBts of the University, have presented the Bone mlan department with a large flag It is now in the local customs office and will be delivered to the school some time this week, and placed on exhibi tion in room 106, AI A This flag is the national emblem of Bohemia and is really a work of art; a silver lion rampant on a scarlet field It Is the second gift which the department has received from Count Luetzow, the first being a complete set of his own works, both In English and Bohemian. Miss Hrbck displays with pride a number of clippings from foreign papers in which the Count speaks very favorably of his visit to Nebraska University.

Alinnesota looks with apprehension upon the approaching football clash between the Cornhuskers and the Go phers This Information comes from Searle F Holmes, who writes from the home of the Gophers "I am delighted to hear of the rose colored atmosphere which hangB over the football field at old Nebraska. It is a marked contrast to the predoml nance of gloom and mutterlngs which characterizes AllnneBota's football ac tivities. After the South Dakota game the local papers even went so far as to criticise the lack of spirit among the students, and to characterize the root ing as 'weak and lacking in spontan aclty.' "NeedleBB to say, these develop ments have filled me with fiendish glee and a growing desire to see the Corn huskers. Of course, the Gophers are now receiving a thorough shakeup, and the moBt strenuous kind of coaching under Williams, Tom Shevlln and Ale Govern, so they may develop wonder fully. One thing, however, is certain they are anticipating tho Nebraska game with more genuine fear and trem bling than has possessed their souls for several years." Holmes was editor of the Nebraskan last Bemester and graduated from the University with Phi Beta Kappa hon ors. Ho Is now located with an advertis ing establishment In Minneapolis.
