ALUMNAE PLAN FOR
WOMEN'SDORMITORY
Proceeds of Cabaret Tea to Be De
voted to Campaign Dean Graham
Writes on Housing Problem
The proceeds of the "cabaret-tea,"
given by the Association of Collegiate
Alumnae last Saturday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. Frank Woods, will
go to carry on the work of building
a women's dormitory at the Univer
sity. Dean Mary Graham is in favor 0f
a women's dormitory. In an article
"The Housing Problem at Nebraska,"
published in the January edition of
the Alumni Journal, which is just out,
she says:
"Taking all things Into considera
tion it has seemed wise to carefully
consider the possibility of a dormitory
system. The greatly increased regis
tration makes it imperative that addi
tional living accommodations shall be
provided. The fact that the location
of the University is definitely settled
insures that whatever provision the
University shall make shall be of per
manent value.
"The dormitory system would over
come the disadvantages of the super
vised rooming house. It would pro-
vino nnnitarv. comfortable, cheerful
rooms at reasonable prices. Consci
pntious students away from home fre-
ouently overdo. Some girls exhibit
false economy in choosing improper
nr insufficient food. Students who do
not know how to organize their work
study late at night. Slight illnesses
are disregarded or not properly treat
ed. High social standards are not
always emphasized. A dormitory with
a recognized officer in charge would
be the most economical, logical and
adequate provision for the needs of
the girl away from home.

ARGENT NE MATERIAL
FOR PROFVPERSINGER
South American Statesmen Expresses
Hope It Will Help In Establish
ing Friendly Relations
Prof. C. E. Persinger, of the Amer
ican history department, has received
from the government of Argentina a
gift of a large amount of Argentine
material for use in the course of
"Latin America," which he gives next
semester.
They come largely as the result of
a visit to Argentina by Professor
Persinger in the summer of 1914, and
in the letter accompanying them the
Argentinan director of commerce and
Industry offers to send any other ma
terial that may be of service in such
a course, and expresses the hope that
the material sent "may help in es
tablishing friendly relations between
the people of the state of Nebraska
and the republic of Argentina."
The publications sent will be used
partly in class and partly on Professor
Perslnger's "Latin American" bulle
tin board next semester.
WARING WITHDRAWS

Running Carr and Frey
Remain
Robert Waring, Geneva, whose un

drawn his hat from the ring, giving
as his reason his selection as clerk
of the judiciary committee in the
state house of representatives, which,
he feels, will take up too much time
to allow for (he campaign. Warlng's
withdrawal leaves E. Everett Can-,
Beaver City, a member of the neg
ative debating team, and C. M. Frey,
Lincoln, editor of the 1917 Cornhus
ker, and also a member of the 'varsity
debating four, in the race.
Waring's letter follows:
"To the Editor of The Daily Ne
braskan: "In view of the fact that I have
been selected clerk of the judici
ary committee in the house of
representatives, I do not feel that
I will be able to find time to make
the campaign for Ivy Day orator.
Nor should I be able to find time,
if elected, to adequately prepare
myself.
"I therefore wish that you would
state that I have withdrawn from
the contest.

The seventh annual newsletter to
members of the argumentation and
debate seminar. 1902-1916, was sent
last week by Prof. M. M. Fogg to the
137 members, living in practically
every state.
The letter, 4,000 words long, tells
of the 1916 debate, work in journalism,
news from the seminary room, state
activities in argumentation and de
bate, and news of seventy-five of the
137 members.
Concerning the scholarship of the
members of the seminary last year,
Professor Fogg wrote:

In the high school debating league,
Professor Fogg reports a membership
of 100 last year, and twenty-one new
schools have applied for participation
in ty,a tenth annual debates. "So
large has the league become that it
has voted to reorganize the work to
obviate the necessity of excluding
schools and to permit team instead
of individual debating at the state de

HUSKERS WIN TWO
0NH0HE FLOOR
BRANDEIS OF OMAHA AND YORK
COLLEGE ARE THE VICTIMS
Locals Show Strength, and Prospects
, of Developing Into a Bril
liant Team
The Nebraska basketball team
opened the season on their home floor
last Friday night by trimming the
fast Brandeis five, of Omaha, by the
score of 29 to 11.
After spending the first half in feel
ing out the power of the visitors the
CornhuskerB started in with a ven
geance in the second half and rolled
up a total for the half of 19 to a scant
3 for the Omahans.
Captain Campbell and Jim Gardiner
both played stellar games tfor the
Cornhuskers, the guarding of the lat
ter being one of the outstanding fea
tures of the game.
Jackson, Flynn and Wertz, the three
men who had made their first appear
ance as regulars, showed to good ad
vantage and give promise of develop
ing into real stars with a little more
experience. Flothow, although playing
only a few minutes, showed that he
has plenty of fight and will develop
into a valuable man.
Conquest of York
Saturday night the Cornhuskers
took on the collegians from York. The
score that night was 23 to 14 with
the Nebraskans again on the long
end.
The team work of the Cornhuskers
was not as smooth as that of the
previous night but the game was
much faster, due to the fighting spirit
displayed by the men from York.
Nelson was easily the Cornhusker
star of this contest In addition to
"holding his man scoreless and practi
cally helpless he himself rolled up
a total of 10 points by shooting five
field goals, four of which were execut
ed with one hand.
Campbell gladdened the hearts of
the fans by dropping in seven foul
goals, as against three for the night
before.
The York team, which is coached by
Earl Hawkins, a former Cornhusker
basketball captain, had a great amount
of speed and fight and the Nebraska
five had to go at its very best clip
to beat them.
