PRICE FIVE CENTS skae NEBRASKA DNI TO GIVE $10,000 TO WAR PRISONERS STUDENT COMMITTEE PLEDGES THIS AMOUNT IN TWO WEEKS Committee to Organize for Campaign Daily Nebraskan Office Takes Subscriptions Nebraska University lias pledged l(i.unn to help relieve tlie 5.5"U"'i men heM in the prison camps of Kurope. The pledge was made by a commit tee of fifty representative students, after they heard Y. H. Tinker, inter national Y. M. C. A. secretary for state universities, tell about the con dition of some of these ruen. Tinker told the truth about the pri on camps. Six million men. upon whom tne future of Europe and in a large measure 01 me cmiiea oriu will rest after the war. crowded into quarters where they are allowed just the scientific amount of space in which life can be sustained, given just the scientific amount of food to keep alive with spirit while the flesh iihnost gives way; clothed with just enough clothes to keep the body from freezing. Tinker spoke at a special con voca tion at 5 o'clock in the Armory, which everv cadet, and several hundred other students and co-eds attended. Some of the facts that he brought out were these: A Few Facts Three million, five hundred thou-iniJ -every faculty member of the sand ni n have been killed in Ku- J I niversity. roje; 43.iiiih.ooo are under arms to-J 11 is the biggest thing that Nebras day; c.O"0.OiMi have been seriously j ka ever undertaken, wounded or in hosniti-ls: 5.500."'"' are General Committee rn prison camps. Three battalions of McGill college men. starting out to the war togeth er, have been absolutely annihilated every one of them is gone. The fraternity houses in Montreal, instead of being us-d for piano and card play ing, are hospitals for the wounded from the fields there is not r-xmi enough for them in Europe. The average life of the engineer on the army front is said to be twenty three days. The college men of Kngland. France. Germany. Austria, Italy and Russia were almost the first to enlist, and from the very' start have borne their share and more of the fighting. Fund of $150,000,000 It is proposed to raise a fund of it least $130,000,000 for the help of the men in 100 prison camps of Si beria, Russia, Germany. Austria. Eng land. France and Italy. Of this amount $150,000 is to come this year from the American universities. Nebraska University, tb center of ! the wealthiest state in the union, is j to contribute $10,000 of this sura, i Every cent of the money contrib-j uted will go to Europe, to supply food, clothing, diversion for the men j whose lives are being crushed by the hopelessness of their position. I The committee organized last night! for the campaign by electing A. J. i 'overt, lieutenant colonel of the cadet regimes, general chairman. Louise C-o-. president of the Cirls flub, was elected secretary, and Walter Blunk. FRANK BROTHERS HELP THE VARSITY Coach Olcott Said to Be Figurirg on Carrying Away the Victory by Kicking The varkitr and freshmen nnieJi,arY? a touchdown, that won a in u r.r.. trt ,in Vvhr-BsVs f el 1 werday afternoon.

Pay at Rag Office Sludrtits nit y pay any sums they (want to t;ive. at the editorial office of The Daily Nebraskan. in the base ment of University hall, south side, west entrance. There will also be student solicitors. The University is undertaking to raise this amount from both the stu dents and the faculty. Those who heard Tinker and those who have learned of the movement in other uni versities feel thot less than $10,000 will be doing; an injustice to the Uni versity of Nebraska. Little Wesleyan university back east, has already .dually given $5,000. Min nesota to the north has raised $3,800; Iowa to the east. fl.SOO; Indiana. M". These amounts r.re small and are merely preliminary to what these , UIJ;versi;i inXeni ,0 do Nebraska can assert its pre-eminence by con- tributiiiir the $10,000. Twenty-nine subscriptions for $133 're given by the committee last night. This is not quite $5 apiece. ; and yet it is not all that the twenty- I nine intend to give. The average. ! maintained for the entire student body will result, however, in the rais- j ing of the $ In. into. An executive committee of seven will be appointed todav by the offi- ; t.ers ek-ct'-d last night. This will be jtne general managing committee, be- j hind it will be the larger committee, 'and behind that will be everv student The general committee consist of these jeople: Lula Shade Harriet Anderson Geneva Seegar Rose Anderson Elizabeth Brown Jean Burroughs Elinore Bennet Louise Coe Edla Collins Helen Schwab Ioris Scroggiu Edith Youngblut May Youngblut Florence Wirt L.

This is to insure the organized rooting which is absolutely neces sary to the team. The change in the girls' section from the north side of the field to the south side is an experiment. It is a challenge to the girls. Will (hey respond, and show what Nebraska spirit they have? Half of the responsibility is theirs.

Cook and Rid dell were willing, but Coach Stewart thought it would be better if their minds were employed on the strategy of the game than on preparing a speech, so he suggested that their talks be not given. In spite of this withdrawal, the rally will go on just the same, and it will be a real rally. Any old Nebraskan who likes to seize every possible oc casion for lung exercise, and his name is legion, will come out to practice that old yell for Kansas.

The Band Again The University band will make its first appearance at a regularly scheduled rally since the night the team left for the Oregon game. It has not forgotten any of the old time melodies, however, and the chorus of the Cornhusker will be s feature of the mass meeting today. The rally, it must not be forgotten, will be for the Olympics battle be tween the two lower classes Saturday morning, as well as for the football game, and there will be pep engen dered for this fray. The success of the freshmen In stealing the sophomore president yesterday necessarily cuts Carl Harns berger from the list of speakers this morning. Riley, the freshman presi dent, will appear on the stage if he has the nerve to face the wild-eyed sophomore rooting section. The rally will commence promptly at 11 o'clock. It will last just as short a time as it is necessary to rouse the students to the proper pitch of excitement, but it will be pep from the word go. MORE PLANS FOR HOMECOMING MIXER FOOD WILL BE FOUND IN GOOD ABUNDANCE Football Men and Band Faculty Re ception With Favorites to Greet Old Grads ' Although the sophomore president, ! who was kidnapped by the freshmen ; yesterday, was chairman of the food 'committee for the homecoming mixer Saturday, the general committee an nounced positively last night that there would be refreshments at the party. Plans are about ready for the big student tnd alumni and faculty party, and the mixer committee will meet tonight at 5 o'clock to put on the finishing touches. Tlie mixer will commence at fc:15 with the faculty reception. Some one of the faculty, probably one who has been a student and then assumed the professorial toga, will deliver a short Italk. A dance and a program, with J refreshments, will complete the eve ning's entertainment. Football Heroes There The football heroes will be at the mixer and the band will play. The f. b.'s may be battle-acarred and all that, but they can't resist the chance to mingle with a great big Nebraska crowd, yell some good old Nebraska yells, and sing the dear old Nebraska songs. They will probably leave be fore the bulk of the students, and the teast-old of the alumni are thinking it is time to wonder what time it is. The faculty reception will be held in Memorial hall. More than likely John Green, the oldegt man in point of continued service with the Unirer- ? 1 1 - will be in some odd comer tell- jliB" 'about tb(f pf)0(J oH davg Jo,.n lused to be the cotifidant and the ! friend of every prankifh yoiinEser a score of years ago. and be knows 'more about the school, it is said, than j Henry Ford does about four cylinder auto engines.
