Treasurer Hall's Plan
Students who have been wishing to
purchase liberty bonds but have been
kept from it because immediate pay
ment was necessary may now buy
them on eight months time according
to a plan worked out by State Treas
urer George E. Hall. Fifty thousand
dollars of the state's money has been
set aside to be loaned to students at
per cent for purchasing bonds. This
to the same interest that the bonds
will be bringing during that time be
ginning November 15.
The amount borrowed must be paid
back within eight months from the
time that it is taken out but no speci
fic system of payments is required.
It may be paid back in installments or
all paid at the end of the time limit.
A deposit of 2 per cent is required at
the time the loan is taken.
Application must be made for
these bonds before Thursday evening.
Cards may be obtained at the State
house. The order will then be sent
to Washington for the number desired.
The bonds will be kept by the state
until they are paid for at the end of
eight months. And the interest on
them will accrue to the state as owner
until the purchasers have finished pay
ing (or them. The students who buy
bonds in this way will not be charged
interest while completing the payments.

have a hop as usual. They plan also
to have a class mixer some time dur
ing the semester.
The freshman class election yester
day morning turned out to be one of
the strongly contested affairs ever
staged by the in-coming class. The
successful candidates were Dorothy
Doyle, vice-president; Horace Talcot,
treasurer; Fuller Austin, secretary;
Elmer Hincle, sergeant-at-arms. On
the first vote for the office of treas
urer Richard Hadley received the
largest number of votes. Through a
misunderstanding it was thought that
Elmer Talcot did not receive a cor
rect vote. After some discussion a
motion that Talcot's vote be retaken
was made. In this vote Talcot re
ceived more votes than Hadley had
received, and he was declared elected.

instruction and taken advatage of the
opportunity to dance.
FOUR HUNDRED UNIVERSITY
WOMEN IN RED CROSS WORK
Make Gauze Bandages, Pads
and Handy Comfort Kits
for Soldiers
Nearly 400 University women have
registered for Red Cross work, Tues
day, Thursday and Friday afternoons
in room 202 in Nebraska hall. Over
seventy-five worked during the three
days of last week. They sit at long
oil-cloth covered tables, and draw
threads in the gauze for bandages and
pads. Others are making musliu
slings and bandages. In an adjoining
room the useful comfort kits are made
and filled with needles, pins, buttons
and thread, with a piece of adhesive
stuck in. The Orcutt company has
given enough felt for the padding of
about sixty kits.
There is one sew:ng machine for
the class and there is great need of
another. A high voltage iron is a
new gift.
There are not enough helpers for
the classes, but it is hoped that some
of the University faculty women who
are now taking the course m bandage
making will give their assistance, as
soon as it is finished; If there are
enough helpers an evening class will
be started.
Copies of Historical Volume Arrive
The Historical society has received

NEW COMMUNITY SINGING
ENJOYED AT CONVOCATION
Movement Originating in East
Promises to Become Popular
with Nebraska Students
University students and faculty
were given an opportunity to take
part in community singing, a move
ment which is attracting the atten
tion of a large number of people, par
ticularly In the cities of the east, at
11 o'clock convocation yesterday morn
ing in Memorial hall. The chorus, un
der the direction of Mrs. Carrie B.
Raymond, director of music, led the
singing.
An eight-piece orchestra accom
panied. Harold Lewis played the
piano, Ada Stidworthy, Harold Nicker
son, Lawrence Metzger, Clara Shulte,
Kathryn Sneath, Helen Newmeyer and
Helen Palmer played violins.
Although the attempt to organize a
students' orchestra last year only par
tially succeeded, it is expected that
the plan will succeed entirely this
year. Considerable enthusiasm is be
ing shown, especially by those who
wish to learn community songs.
Dr. Hyde Makes Statement
Dr. Winifred Hyde, professor of
psychology, who has studied music in
tensively, said yestreday:
"At convocation yesterday morning
a movement was Jnaururated which
deserves the hearty support of both
factulty and student body. The Uni
versity chorus, under the direction of
Mrs. Raymond, led in the general sing
ing of well-known patriotic folk
songs." ,
"The audience was not large as two
classes had been permitted to sche
dule class meetings for 11 o'clock, but
all who were there sang with enthusi
asm. They even stayed to sing the
Cornhusker after the meeting had
been closed."
"The Nebraska spirit seems to be
lieved that gradually these singing
stronger than ever before and it is be
convocations will become very popu
lar. Nebraska students like to sing
and Mrs. Raymond is offering this op
portunity to every students to become
acquainted with the well-known col
lege songs."
An interesting feature of the pro
gram was the introduction of a Ne
braska song written by Mrs. Minnie
T. England and Professor W. F. Dann.
The song, "A Song of Freedom," was
sung by the chorus alone, as no words
were available for the audience. Mr.
Dann was called upon to rise to the
vigorous applause of the audience.
The songs that were sung were:
Columbia.
Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes.
Nebraska. (From the'1915 pageant,
words by Dr. H. B. Alexander.)
All Through the Night.
America.

SPEAKS ON SOCIAL SERVICE
OPPORTUNITIES AT VESPER
Mrs. T. F.A.Williams Says University
Girlsjn Excellent Position to Help
in Work Among Lincoln Children
Mrs. T. F. A. Williams, of the soci
ology department spoke on "Social
Service Opportunities in Lincoln" at
vespers Tuesday evening in the Y. W.
C. A. rooms in the Temple. Susie
Souther, '18, presided and Esther Ord.
'17, sang.
"It is necessary that you have a
point of contact." said Mrs. Williams
in speaking of social service work.
The finest evidence that one is re
ceiving the most out of life is when
the wish is expressed for social serv
ice. There are several activities
which afford opportunities for this
sort of work. They are the night
schools, the social centers and the
guidance departments.
"Last year a number of Y. W. C. A.
girls volunteered to teach English to
the foreginers at the night schools and
it was a great success. They cannot
afford to have many paid teachers,
and therefore must rely on volunteer
help.
"There are three buildings opened as
social centers in Lincoln. In these
there will be an opportunity for the
giving of programs and other recrea
tion. We need everywhere volunteer
help because so much of this work is
personal.
"The attendance in ' " the public
schools this year has decreased be
cause of the need of the boys on the
farm and in various other places.
Help for these must come from peo
ple really Interested in them. A list
of names and the questions to be
asked are given to each individual,
(ivho immediately makes the different
calls. In this way, the contact is
made and help is given.
"There are great opportunities at the
juvenile court and detention home for
help from the students. There is also
a new Institution, the State Home for
Dependent Children, where there is a
calling need for girls who would spend
Sunday afternoons entertaining the
children.
"It is a question of faithfulness and
regularity. Those who wish to help
must conform to the established rules
or standards. It is not necessary to
be an expert but one should feel a
sense of responsibility."
WILL RALLY FOR
MICHIGAN TOMORROW
Plan Big Send-off for Team at
Convocation Hour Squad
To Leave in Afternoon
To give the team a big send-off on
the morning of its departure for Ann
Arbor, where it will play the hardest
game on its schedule with the Michi
gan Wolverines Sautrday is the pur
pose of the football rally called for
tomorrow, morning at Jl o'clock in
Memorial halK Interest in the game
Saturday is expected to make the
mass-meeting attendance the largest
of the season.
The rally will be very short and the
speakers will be few. What students
want is to show the team their en
thusiasm, their faith in the ability of
this year's Cornhuskers. This they
can do shortly and concisely. Those
who will talk, however, will have some
very important things to say. Assist
ant Coach Owen Frank, who was a
star in the Michigan game of 1916,
Dr. Stewart and Captain Shaw are the
football men who are on the program.
Besides this trio, a member of the
faculty and . probably a Lincoln busi
ness man will talk.
The approach of the big test for the
Cornhuskers finds students increasing
speculative, although they have never
lost any of their confidence in the
team. Because of the long trip to
Ann Arbor and the economical pro
gram of war time, only a few will go
with the team, but students will follow
the game by wire Saturday.
The team will leave at :30 tomor
row afternoon and students who do
not have 4 o'clock classes are plan
ning to march down to the station be
hind the cadet band to give the men
a last word of advice before the train
pulls out.
Painting of First United
States Homestead Arrives
The oil painting of "The First Home
stead in the United States" has been
uncrated and hung in the Historical
society's rooms.
The picture at first appears as a
study in deep rich browns. Further
examination reveals a typical Nebraska
background partially hidden by ever
green trees. The sky is in delicate
tones, in strong "contrast with the
deeper tones of the forground.
Dartmouth The dubious outlook for
the Green before the Springfield game
last Saturday was Justified by the
loose play shown in the contest. Al
though victors by a 14-0 score, it was
more through the Massachusetts ag
gregation's weak defense than through
the Green's offense that the later were
able to make their downs. The Dart
mouth eleven, however, was power
ful defensively and should, with a more
aggreslve offense, offer competition to
the succeeding teams on the schedule.
Cornell Disappointment ' was ex
pressed at the lack of enthusiasm dis
played at the lajest athletic "pep"
meeting. Scarcely 1500 undergradu
ates turned out for the rally.
RIDDELL LOST TO TEAM
FOR REMAINING GAMES
Doctors Report Injury Will
Keep Him From Field
MAY BE BACKFIELD CHANGE
Coach May Start Michigan Game
With Dobson, Day, Kellogg and
McMahon in Backfleld
Ted Riddell, veteran end on the
Cornhusker football machine was lost
to the team for the remainder of the
season when he dislocated his knee
in yesterday's practice scrimmage.
This is the second time within the
month that Ted has been injured.
Doctors reported that he would not be
in the lineup again this season.
Hubka, who has been playing left
tackle this week will probably be
shifted back to the right end.
Every eligible varsity candidate was
on the field in uniform at yesterday's
practice for probably the first time
this season. Kriemelmeyer, a giant
substitute guard, who has shown that
he has real football ability is still
"in bad" with some of his studies but
eypects to get by the rough places in
time to make the Michigan trip.
Schellenberg, Otoupalik, Kositzky
and Captain Shaw were not permitted
to get into the scrimmage, although
all of these eycept Schellenberg are
in fair condition. The star left half
has a bad attack of "charley-horse"
and will probably not start the game
Saturday.
Coach Stewart is not certain yet
how many men he will take to'' Ann
Arbor. It is probable that nearly
twenty players will be in the party.
Following is an unofficial list of. the
men who will make the trip: Captain
Shaw, Wilder, Kositzky, Day, Hubka,
Rhodes, McMahon, Dobson, Cook, Kel
logg, Schellenberg, Otoupalik, Munn,
DuTeau, Kriemelmeyer, Young, L.
Shaw, Teter, Triplet, Antb.es.
..... Backfleld Lineup
From his last two nights' practice
lineups it would seem that the coach
expects a backfleld composed of Dob
son, Day, Kellogg and McMahon, to
start Saturday's game. Just what ef
fect that will have on Michigan can
not be guessed as their scout here last
Saturday saw only Dobson, of the
quartet work from a backfleld posi
tion. The shifting of three new men
into the backfleld works both as an
advantage and as a disadvantage to
the Cornhuskers. More speed is added
to the team, but experience is taken
away. The line, however, has enough
veterans in it to make up for the
lack of experience in the backfleld.

NEBRASKAN FREE TO
UNIVERSITY SOLDIERS
Believing that Nebraska men
actively engaged in the war are
just as anxious for news from the
campus as their former classmates
are for word from them, the man
agement of The Nebraskan will
send the paper free of charge to
every Cornhusker soldier whose
address is known. You can help
by sending lists of addresses to
The Nebraskan, either mailing
them to Station A or telephoning
them to the business office, B-2597.
