FOR THE RED CROSS
The campaign of the American Red Cross to get members in Lin
coln commences tomorrow morning. Every University student and
every member of the faculty should become a member of this society
before the week is ended.
The work of the Red Cross is the work of relieving the helpless
in suffering, no matter of what country, or what the conditions. The
American Red Cross has done wonderful service in such catastrophes
as the San Francisco earthquake and the Dayton floods. Now it will
devote its energies to the work of relief for the American soldiers on
the battle fields of Europe, to which a division of troops has already
been ordered.
If you have a relative or friend in the army, in Ft. Snelling. or
expecting to get into the army, you will want to help the Red Cross,
for that friend may be saved from death by that very help. If you are
an American, whether or not any of your own acquaintance are likely
to go into battle, you will want to join the Red Cross for you will want
to be doing something concrete for the good of your nation and its
defenders.
Members of the University Girls' club will be taking subscriptions
of those wishing membership during the coming week. Nebraska
University should have one membership for each one of the students
enrolled at the present time. Any less than that will not be doing
for this organization what the University is capable of doing.
THE NEW NEBRASKAN STAFF
The election of Ivan G. Beede as editor-in-chief and Leonard W.
Kline as managing deitor of The Daily Nebraskan for next semester is
deserved recognition on the part of the publication board of the
splendid work these two have done on the paper in the past. Mr.
Beede has the knowledge of student life needed for one who guides
the editorial policy of the paper, and Mr. Kline has had a severe
apprenticeship in the newsgathering end of the business.
Mr. Cook, the new associate editor, has had a wide experience in
the newspaper field. The re-election of Miss Noble and the election
of Miss Newbranch as associate editors completes a very able staff.
The war may affect the University In such a way that these
people will have a more than usually difficult task in managing The
Nebraskan. The students may be assured, however, that the paper
will more than ever be "the best university newspaper in the world "
THE TRACK TEAM'S VICTORY
Nebraska defeated Kansas in a track meet last week that showed
that this branch of athletics has reached its proper place In the
University. The Kansans came expecting an easy victory; they re
turned, having suffered an overwhelming defeat.
The display of courage of one of the members of the Husker
track team, who ran yards on a bare foot, his fieeh being cut at every
step by cinders, has not been surpassed on the gridiron by any
Nebraskan. Griffith Owen did a fine thing when he won that relay
race for Nebraska.
The students wi'I look forward to the coming conference meet at
Ames, confident that their team will give a good account of itself.
Nebraska will probably not win. but it will te a good team that
beats her.
The most important event of the week Is the student council
election Friday in the Armory. Don't forget it.
A few of the bronze medals that are being sold for the benefit of
the French War orphans can still be had at The Nebraskan office, if
the students who are selling them do not reach you.
head and took the pole. O'Leary
who was in for that very purpose,
kept up a hot pace, and Owen had to
let him pass. Then Rodkey came up
from behind on the outside and com
pletely "boxed" the little Cornhusker
speedster. Then in order to get ahead
Owen had to run outside both these
men. He demonstrated his superiority
on the stretch, however, and left
O'Leary in the dust and gradually
drew up even and then ahead of
Rodkey. It was one of the most thrill
ing races seen on Nebraska Field for
some years.

classes. Their mothers are In various
occupations, varying from farm ser
vants to the butcher's trade.
The basis on which the various peo
ple select the children for adoption
is quite amusing. One young lady
chose a certain child because it lived
on the same street In Paris in which
she had lived when there. Others
have selected certain children whose
ages or names are similar to those to
their own children.
55,000 Orphans
At the last report from the national
committee, about 55,000 names bad
come into their possession and of this

sand a week.
Student are encouraged to take the
tbe medals for this cause home with
them this summer and interest their
local community in the work. One
student is particularly successful in
' selling silver medals at four dollars
each. The money obtained in this way
is t-nt in tbe name of the Lincoln
