ELECT OFFICERS-TONIGHT
Meet at 7:30 In U. 102 Faculty Men
to Explain Plan Commit
tees Later.
This evening at seven-thirty all
young men Interested In commercial
work will meet in U. 102 for tho pur
pose ot organizing a Commercial Club.
Tljo object of this club will bo to
boost everything that shows that It
Is entitled to a boost. The main em-
nhasls will, of course, be piaceuoir
pushlng fprward the Commerce de
partment. A great demand has grown
In this section of the West for a pro
gressive school of commerce and Ne
braska is located most fortunately to
be developed Into -just such a school.
Tho faculty members, as well as
some students In tho department, will
outline and explain what tho purpose
of such an organization really 1b. A
president, vice-president, secretary
and-a treasurer will be chosen to-
start tho hoop rolling, The general
opinion seems to be that a regular
business meeting once each month,
with an occasional smoker or "get
togothor," will be tho most advisable
for the advancement of tho Buccess of
the club and the department.
Those meetings will not bo in tho
nature of a seminar, but, as Bomeono
has Bald, like "a regular city commer
cial club."
