NEBRASKA DNI TO GIVE

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

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.

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.

A Challenge to the Co-Eds
A girls' rooting section has been reserved on the south side of the
field, next m the men's rooting section, but separate from it.
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.

FOOTBALL RALLY IN
MEMORIAL HALL TODAY
SPEAKERS COOK AND RIDDELL
WITHDRAW FROM PROGRAM
Nebraska Rooting Needs Perking Up
Rally for Olympics Battle,
Too
The announcement of yesterday that
John Cook and Ted Riddell would
speak at the football rally today has
had to be withdrawn. 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.
' Raw k Chaw k-Jay-Hawk" has thun
dered across Nebraska field so many
times with such tremendous power
either in victory" or defeat, that Corn

to work together better than they have
been doing in order to make U-U-Uni
intelligible to the players on the field.
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-
