Y M. C. A. MEMBERSHIP
CAMPAIGN ON TODAY
Association Plans to Give Every
University Man a Chance
to Help
BUDGET FOR LAST YEAR
The University begins its annual
membership and finance campaign
this morning and in today and to
morrow plans to see every man in the
University and give him a chance to
become a member of either the city
or the University Y. M. C. A., or both.
A meeting of the workers in the
campaign was held at the city asso
ciation rooms last night, and plans
wAri discussed. It was agreed that
this year especially was a year in
which the Y. M. C. A. was rendering
a special service, not only locally,
but in the war camps and among the
soldiers, and for that reason the sup
port of all students should be expect
ed. Expenses this year are larger than
formerly, but the association intends
to render the same kind of service
that it has been rendering in the past
and a good deal larger amuont. Near
ly all students know of the varied
phases of the work done, and know
where the money is going that they
give with their membership.
For membership in the University
there is no special fee, but each mem
ber is asked to give a voluntary sub
scription to its support. The work is
financed entirely by students, faculty,
citizens and interested friends. A
combination membership in both the
University and city associations is
also offered. A part of this goes to
the University Y. M. C. A., and a part
goes toward a fee which allows stu
dents all the privileges at the city
building.
That the student may know where
the money goes that he gives to the
University association, the following
budget for last year is given:

ODGERS WRITES FROM
RANGOON, BURMA
Says Mail From States Is Two
Months Old When it
Reaches Him
George A. Odgers, '16, headmaster
of the Methodist Boys' high school at
Rangoon, Burma, writes the alumni
office:, "The home papers are two
months old when they reach here.
Mails via the Atlantic are very irreg
ular. More time is required for it
to come via Vancouver and Hong
Kong, but it is sure of reaching here
some time. That is much better than
having Neptune censoring it."
Many of our circles here deplore
the action of the nation. But I wish
that I were there to be with the other
men who are giinng to the trenches.
While thev fight with fire and explo
sives, I will have to use the ruler and
soap as my weapons."
There are 800 boys in the college.
Odgers has charge of the classes in
English and higher geography. His
address is 36 Creek street, E. Ran
goon, Burma.

Eighty Students Working- for
Membership Those in Charge
Pleased at Talent Shown
Nearlv eiehtv students tried out for
places in the English Dramatic club
at the Temple last night. The list of
those making places will probably be

The trvouts were in charge of a
committee headed by Gwyne Fowler,

work done and at the amount of ex
cellent talent to fill the places left
vacant last year.
Kansas Prospects Improve
Varsity football chances improved
a bit yesterday with many of the old
men out for practice on Hamilton
Field, along with several veteran
nlavers from last year's freshman
team. George Nettels, a Topeka youth
who tfDS the scales at nearly zuu
pounds, who is fast and kicks the ball
in true K. U. style; was out for left
tackle, which is his favorite role.
Robert Hunter, a new man and a
sophomore, was playing end, Louis
Hull was holding down center, the
position he played on the varsity
squad a year ago.
Walter Zoellner. who played good
hall for the juniors last fall in the
class games, was out for left guard.
Wenzel did well at fullback on tne
tpnm which had the offensive, and
Nielson played his usual fierce offen
sive game. Marquis, a quarter tor me
same team, made several good plays,
through holes In the line. Ziegler
played the tackle opposite Neneis.
Pringle went through for some smasn
ine eains in his play for this team.
Gorrill showed good head work play
ing halfback.
a feature of the practice last night
was a pass of twenty-two yards by
Pringle to Shinn. Shinn is piaying
hu nana! wide-awake game at end,
grabbing the passes out of the air con
sistently. Davis. Simons, uuuu,
v,wiv T.nnhore and Idol also were
nlavine eood ball. Jones was bick
at his position of left guard and his
weight is a great aid to nis nrue
playing.
Maniaviiia nd Miner are now m
Topeka working on a contract job

are expected back Immediately after
that. Frost is expected out any day.

BIGGEST SCHEDULE IN
YEARS FACES HUSKERS
Student Tickets Same Price Busi
ness Men to Have 5,000
People at First Game
PROFITS TO RED CROSS
Nebraska faces this year one of the
biggest schedules in her football his
tory. The opening of the 1917-18 foot
ball season comes next Saturday with
the Wesleyan game. Practically the
only practice game is the first one and
the Notre Dame game comes third on
the list. The big games come right
at first and last till Thanksgiving.
Next week the business men of Lin
coln will launch their camnalen for
raising the total receipts of the fall's
football schedule to over $25,000.
The board of recents. who have
charge of athletics this year, have an
nounced that the receipts from the
ticket sales, after the necessary ex
penses are deducted, will be donated
to the Red Cross fund. As soon as
this was made known, the business
men of Lincoln, seeing an excellent
chance to help a good cause, took up
the idea, and are now boosting it hard.
Committees from the Lincoln Com
mercial club, the Rotary club and the
Ad club are in charge of the work.
These committees will have the hand
ling of most of the advertising for
the season games. In many Instances,
business men as individuals are doing
a great deal towards advertising the
games, on their own account.
Former attendance at the Wesleyan
game has been about 500. The busi
ness men intend to have at least 5,000
people in the stands! Students so far
have bought 75 season tickets or
about $300 worth.
The tickets sold to outsiders will
cost $9.50, while the student may pur
chase one for $4, and the extra
amount for reserving a seat at the big
gest games. The students' tickets are
good for all athletics for the rest of
the season. They save money in the
end. They are on sale in the Student
Activities office, In the basement of
Administration building.

"High brow" music is to be a part
of the jackles training at the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station, where
five-eighths of the new American
navy personnel is being Instructed.
The famous Great Lakes Navy band
which Is being "tutored to toot" under
the personal direction of Lieut. John
Phillip Sousa, is specializing in the
operas.
Strring marches are necessary, ac
cording to. Lieutenant Souso, to rouse
patriotism and the fighting spirit, but
If played exclusively they may lead to
a disregard of the finer principles.
Therefore the band leader is combin

UNIVERSITY PARTIES
TO ENTERTAIN ALL
Committee Decides That Social
Entertainment Will Have Em
phasis This Year
The all-University parties this year
promise to be some of the most popu
lar student gatherings to be held.
About 40 student and faculty members
of the general all-University party
committee appointed by Prof. Aman
da Heppner, dean of women, met last
night to discuss the plan of student
entertainment.
Emphasis this year will be given to
the necessity of providing entertain
ment, real entertainment, for all stu
dents in the University. Those who
dance will be given an opportunity to
dance; those who do not dance win
be furnished with the best entertaln
mpnt that is Dossible to obtain.
Detailed plans have not been com
pleted as yet, but the policy will be to
nrovide real talent to fill the. evening
There Is a large amount of talent
in the University that can be used,
and when this is exhausted it is prob
ahle that those in charge, will find
professional help. At least it was the
view of the committee that instead of
being dancing parties only, as Mixers
have been characterized, there shall
be equal entertainment for all at the
new all-University parties.
The first one of the parties will be
held October 6 at the Armory, and
committees are already at work on
social entertainment, dancing, and a
good time for every one.
K. U. Offers Aviation Course
The Kansas university's co-operation
with the government in the pres
ent war crisis has taken the form of
a five-hour course in aviation. The
course is open to all students of the
university, men and women.
One nurpose is to aid in training
aviators for the array. The other is
the possibility of general air trans
portation when the country will need
trained men in this new field. Kan

erals committee. The purpose of this
committee is to increase the produc
Hon in the United States of minerals

imnorted and the importation of whlci
ceased wholly or in part due to the
war.
The department of mining has al
ready made a contribution to this work
through a bulletin prepared by Frci

STUDENTS WILL SEE
REAL GAME TOMORROW
Varsity and Freshmen Will Mix
in First Battle of the
Season
LINEUP IS TAKING FORM
By Dwight P. Thomas.
For the first time this season the
scrubs scored on the varsity in yes
terday's practice. Of course it was
not exactly a legitimate score, the
scrubs being given more than four
downs in which to make ten yards at
times, but it showed that the first
year men are beginning to get some
real fight and will be able to give the
varsity some hard battles before the
season is much older.
The new life shown by the scrubs
in the last few days makes it plain
that the came scheduled for Saturday
between the scrubs and varsity will
be no slouch affair. With Owen Frank
to euide them and to carry the ball
occasionally, the first year men will
be able to throw several scares into
the varsity bunch. Jobes, playing at
left half for the freshmen, had the
best luck In breaking through the
varsity forwards yesterday, and was
good for gains every time he was
called on to take the ball.
Nebraska field, which for a long
time was feared to be in a bad condi
tion for football, having no sod on it,
has been in fine shape the past few
days because of the recent light rains.
The grass on the field was killed dur
ing the winter and the seed which
was planted in the summer failed to
produce a stand. Clover was sown
Just before the start of the season, but
it did not have time to produce a cov
ering for the field before the anxious
candidates were out trampling what
little there was, under foot. As long
as the field is kept wet enough to keep
the dust down it offers a fine playing
surface. In past years the sod on the
field has lasted little longer than the
start of the playing season at best,
and there will be no difference in the
field this year from other years, by
the time the big games are being
played.
" A rather regular lineup has been
used by the coach in the practice this
week. It has lacked some of the men
who will undoubtedly occupy regular
berths later in the season, but owing
to injuries have been kept out of
scrimmage this week. A rew or tne
mpn have taken the positions that
they will keep al through the season
unless something very unexpected
happens. At the ends are Rhodes and
Riddell, who have held the wing posi
tions since the Notre Dame game last
year, and will probably be holding
throughout the Syracuse game this
year. At right tackle i3 Captain
Shaw, who has shown more stun mau
ever this year. At left tackle Munn,
Young and DuTeau have been appear
ing. At the guards, kosltzky and
Wilder have been doing most of the
work, but occasionally they give way
to Shaw, Young or Teter. At center
riav Shaw and Henry have been al
ternating. Hubka, probably the most
promising line prospect from last
year's freshmen team, nas Deen piajeu
at end and tackle and looks good at
either place.
In the backfield the great trouble
ho. hppn to keeD enough men without
injuries on the field to fill the places.
Dobson, Oto-.ipalik and cook nave
Koon hniHinir their Dlaces steadily with
Henry and Day as steady but alter
nating between center and bacKneia.
McMahon, Schellenberg and Kellogg,
three sneedsters, will gradually work
into places in the backfield if their
injuries yield to treatment. Triplett.
the last man out, and Kriemmelmey
er, a giant guard, have been given
work at guard positions in all the
practices
