FACTS REGARDING PLAN
FROM PROFE880R DAVI8
Annual Trip to Loup City Alumni
From 8urroundlng Territory At
tend Heartily Endorsed.
.4-
It has become customary for the
Dramatic Club to mfye an annual trip
to Loup City. Its offerings thoro have
always boon, received very well andi
they aro each time invited to come
again. When there they are visited
by all the alumni in that portion of the )
state. It is unquestionably one of the
biggest and best bits of advertising
tho University of Nebraska gots.
A group of business men get to
gether find guarantee tho expenses of
the trip and sond a cheek for same "In
advance. Then, after all expenses are
paid, whatever profits remain are dl-
tho profits aro usually not great from
a financial standpoint, It must bo re
membered that tho advertising is of
the utmost importance and value.
This is a concrete example of What
University organizations can do. If
It can bo-done by the Dramatic Club,
why can it not bo done by tho other
organizations? It has boon successful
in Minnesota and on this very small
scale in Nebraska without any organ
ized force behind It. This success of
the Dramatic Club -augurs Well for
success in a University Extension
Week.

In tlio things that will bo of bonoflt to

tho University I have no doubt, but
we must not bo boMbIi and consider
only how it will effect us. Wo must
remember the Interests of the people
over the Btnte.
How will University Week benefit
tho towns? it will give thd people a
chance to see a good class of entor
talnment at tho least possible cost
-rival the class of entortalnmont of
fered In many of the best theaters In
the cities. The Debating Club dis
cusses live, every-day questions, giv
ing the people just the Information
that they Want. Tho Band Is gener
ally conceded to be one of the best
colloge bands in the United States,
as well as tho best In Nohraska. Tho
coBt will be small, because the Uni
versity will not ontor into competition!
with tho lycoum bureau for financial
gain, but will furnish tho talent at
cost.
But University Week will do more.

will bear its good fruits In all future

MORE CLEAN SPORT
Pascale, the Lightweight Man, Thinks
Athletes Should Bo Inoluded
Great Addition to Plan.
As a mombor of tho wrostllng team
I may say that the Wrestling Club 1b
heartily in favor of tho extension of
student activities. Wo fool that -numerous
advantages would bo desired
from this innovation, not only to mem
bers of tho wrestling team, but to the
people of the towns to bo visited, as
woll as to tho University as a whole.
As regards tho wroBtling team, it is
neodlesB to speak of the encourage
ment, experience and many other bon
ofits that would -iconic. Tho towns
to be visited would bo benefited not
imly-by-thoamuBement;"buf'alB,o"'by
tho promotion of good clean sport.
Tho University as a whole would bon
oflt very much thrbugh the higher esti
mation and Increased Interest In Its
activities as the leading educational
force in the Btato. For tho upbuilding
of a truly democratic and . popular
University, for .the bringing of Uni
versity standards 'closer to the peoplo,
and for Inspiring tho people with tho
Ideals that predominate In University
life, let us have the extension of stu-,

- Tho proposed University Voofc In
connection with University Extension
work is rapdolod after 'tho sUccoaafUl
Minnosota Bystem. Its aim is to boost
tho Unlvorsity. This it accomplishes
In several striking ways. '
First, roviow tho plan. Soveral rop
roaontatlve University activities, siich.
as the Dramatic Club, the- Dobatlng
Teams, tho Gleo Club4 tho Wrostllng
Team, tho Band, tho Conservation and
Soil Survey Department, , and pthr
similar orgauizatlons, will present
tholr spoclal lino of work In about a
dozen cities and towns of the state.
Each city ortown. on t the circuit will
have its "University iWok' that is,
each one will have billed at its opera
houso or hall one week of University
entortalnmont and" instruction. The
whole will bo In charge of the Depart
ment of University lExtenBlon. JThe
oxponBo will boborno by the cities or
towns thomsolvos none .will fall on
tho University. Each "nuniber" will
be on the road two weeks, giving. their
'.'act" in twelve amerent towns during
this time. For example: a circuit
might 1o made up of .Beatrice, jiWy
moro, Pawnee City, Humboldt, Dawson
and Falls City. On Monday night In
Beatrice might be tho Dramatic Club,
In Dawson the Qlee Clttb, and In Falls
City, Dr, Condra and his "movies."
Tuesday evening they would all ad
vance ono station, with Dr. Condra at
Beatrice. Tills might be one circuit
Then tho following week these same
attractions would go over another cir
cuit in another part of tho state. It
is certain that If the proposal is adopt
