Is Feature of Program in
Armory
While the great pine tree in front
of U hall gleamed with multi-colored
lights, over three hundred people en
joyed the Christmas party in the Ar
niory Saturday evening. Because of
the cold the carols were sung inside
instead of on the campus.
The first part of the evening was
given over to a program concluded by
the singing of "America" by the audi
ence. The string quartet composed of
Edw, J. Walt. Jesse. Wilfcins, Wm. T.
Quick and Lillian Eiche, furnished the
music.

The room was decorated in true
Christmas style with evergreens and
bells. Two Christmas trees on either
side of the organ glowed with colored
lights, while the carols were sung.
After the program, refreshments were
served consisting of apples and sur
prise boxes containing nuts, raisins,
candy and animal crackers.
While the guests were still examin
ing their packages, dancing began in
the big room and soon many were glid
ing over the floor to the tune of "I
Don't Want to Get Well."
SPECIAL CONVOCATION
FOR JUDGING TEAM
First Time that Nebraska Has
Won High Honors at
National Show
Convocation was held at the farm
Friday morning, in honor of the stock
judging team that won first place at
the International Live Stock show at
Chicago the previous week. The
meeting was in charge of Prof. H. J.
Gramlich, head of the department of
animal husbandry, who gave a brief
account of the meet and of the splen
did work that the team did.
Professor Gramlich said that the
principal cause of the success was the
team work the men displayed. Team
work is Just as important in a stock
Judging team as in a football team, and
the Nebraska men had been carefully
coached along this line.
This is the first time In the history
of the show that highest honors have
been won by Nebraska. And this time
the Cornhusker team appeared as a
dark horse, upsetting all the dope, and
winning by a larger margin than any
previous victor. The team brought
home with them the huge cup, which
will be kept here until the next show.
To obtain permanent possession of the
cup, a school must win it three times.
So far, no school has won it more than
once The Nebraska team also had
the honor of having one of its mem
bers, W. P. Roberts, get the highest
score of all contestants.
The coaching stafT this year was
forced to work under peculiar disad
vantages. The draft had taken most
of the experienced men of last year,
and it was necessary to begin work
ith material that was almost entire
ly unacquainted with the work. The
departmental or family method of
coaching was used. The members of
the coaching staff, and the branch of
ork directed by each, are Prof. J. H.
Gramlich, horses and cattle; Prof.
H. B. Pier, sheep, and Prof. E. L. Jen
kins, hogs.
The members of the stock Judgiing
team are W. F. Roberts, Earl Hogue,
A. B. Anderson, Glenn Sftapp, Chester
H. Grau, and Carl Dale, alternate.
Medals to Student Soldiers
A committee has been appointed at
the University of Minnesota to look
into the cost of sending every former
member now in war service a bronze
medal of appreciation. While it is
expected that the alumni will raise
the greater share of the funds it is
hoped that fraternities and other or
ganizations who have members in the
service wild see to it that their own
members are .provided with medals.
Remember "Poilus" Too
The "Sammies" are not the. only
ones who are going to receive Christ
mas presents this year. The Y. M.
C. A. of the University of Ohio has
sent thirteen boxes of clothing, food,
tobacco and candy to the "poilus."
Support French Orphans
The faculty members at the State
University of Iowa are supporting two
French orphans with the proceeds of
the play which they put on last
spring. The $315 taken in will be
enough to keep both children four
years.
Automotive Engineers
Will Meet Here Soon
The Minneapolis section of the so
ciety of automotive engineers will hold
a meeting here shortly to discuss
standard forms for testing tractor en
gines. The agricultural engineering
department of the University of Ne
braska has been doing considerable of
this sort of work, being one of the pio
neers in making tractor tests. Pro
fessor L. W. Chase has just returned
from a meeting of the committee on
standardization of the American So
ciety of Automotive Engineers held at
Minneapolis. While there he visited
the engineering departments of the
University of Minnesota, looking over
the equipment with a view of furnish
ing the new agricultural engineering
building at Lincoln.

CHANCELLOR ASKS FOR
RED CROSS MEMBERSHIPS
In
Signed Letter Urges
Employees to Support
Campaign
All
Chancellor Avery in a signed circu
lar letter to faculty members and Uni
versity employees, announces the
plans for a Red Cross campaign simi
lar to the recent Red Triangle drive,
to be begun on the campus soon. He
hopes that a like support and contri
bution of the students will make pos
sible the same if not a greater success
than was attained in the latter in
stance. The Red Cross makes this campaign
with a view to gaining funds to take
care of the overhead expenses so that
the larger and more irregular contri
butions may be employed solely for
the care of the wounded and the
needy. This is a membership cam
paign primarily and its object is to
gain the individual pledge of every
student, faculty member and others
connected with the University.
The chancellor's letter follows:
To the Faculty, Administrative Officers
and other Employees of the Uni
versity: The splendid success of the Red
Triangle drive encourages the hope
that the coming Red Cross member
ship campaign may be equally suc
cessful. This campaign will be for
$1.00 memberships for the year 1918,
and is independent of previous contri
butions or donations to the Red Cross
fund. It is the intention of the na
tional organization that the member
ship fees shall cover the entire over
head expenses of the American Red
Cross in its world wide activities so
that donations to the Red Cross will
not have to bear any portion of the
burden of management. Having con
tributed your membership fee your lat
er donations will, be spent exclusively
for relief of suffering soldiers or for

vass falls short of this amount, it is
planned through a later, special sub
scription among those who have al
ready given generously, to raise as
many dollars as there are missing
names from the list. . Professor Scott
has consented to act as chairman of
the committee in charge of the can
vass at the city campus, while Pro
fessor Filley will act in the same ca
pacity at the farm campus. Here is
an opportunity for the University
again to show its practical patriotism.
Will not everyone embrace with en
thusiasm the opportunity to place his
name on this honor roll?
Very respectfully submitted,
S. AVERY,
Chancellor.
Women Take Telegraphy
Over fifty per cent of the students
enrolled in the wireless telegraphy
course at the University of Wisconsin,
are women. They are taking the
course primarily to fit themselves for
commercial operators. The majority
of the men in the class will soon be
called into government service and
will probably be placed in the signal
corps.

FOOTBALL CLEARS
$7000 FOR RED GROSS
1917 Cornhuskers Hand Over
Big Sum to War Work
LOSS AT OTHER SCHOOLS
Nebraska Only Member of Valley
Conference Without Deficit at
End of Season
As a result of the extraordinary
economy practiced and the careful
management of athletic funds during
the football season of 1917, the de
partment was able to turn over to the
Red Cross funds a Christmas present
of $7,000, possibly one of the largest
contributions from football Teceipts
from any school in the United States
for this purpose. This is in sharp
contrast to the report of last year,
when a deficit of $4,500 was shown.
Chancellor Avery, in presenting the
funds to the chairman of the local
committee, Hon. W. E. Hardy, men
tioned the fine spirit in which the man
agement and the football players co
operated in making this gift possible.
There was no unnecessary expenditure
for clothing and in some instances the
gridiron heroes were content to wear
shoes that blistered their feet. The
economy in this and other respects
can only be appreciated when we are
reminded that the total gain this year
exceeded last year's figures by nearly
$13,000.
The results were obtained in the
face of unusual difficulties occasioned
by the war. Among these was the
problem of gaining the public inter
est. In this regard the Lincoln Com
mercial club and the Rotary club were
very helpful, having lent all their in
fluence toward enlarging attendance
at the games on the Nebraska field.
Although the tickets sold were less
than the number last year, the general
spirit both about the campus and out
side of the University was very en
couraging and hopes are expressed
that the remainder of the year's sports
will prove equally as successful.
The letter of presentment written by
the chancellor to Hon. W. E. Hardy
follows:
December 15, 1917.
Hon. W. E. Hardy,
Chairman Lincoln Red Cross, Com
mittee, City.
My Dear Mr. Hardy:
Having gone over the matter care
