Kntered at the postofTlce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second-class mail matter under the act of Congress of March 3, 1X7'.. , The campaign within the Univer sity for 1918 Red Cross memberships has begun. The coed division of the committee of two hundred will send some one to you before Thurs day evening and ask you to contrib ute one dollar for a year's member ship. This request will be made, not only with the material authority and sanction of Chancellor Avery, who has earnestly urged everyone connected with the University to join the Red Cross, but also by the highest impulse of human action the desire to help a suffering fellow man. But to argue the merits of the cause is ambiguity. Suffice it to say that what is asked of every Nebras kan in the campaign is a trifle, and he who can and does not respond takes his responsibility in this war lightly. well be, of some of Its peace-time foolishness; shorn also of some of the toll of the press agent. But to Ignore altogether Nebraska Btudent life in a Nebraska student book is unthinkable. It is a question for Btudents to de cide, not faculty members. The sit uation simmers down to this do you, as a Btudent, want -a CornhUBk er at all? If you do, do you want a student yearbook or a military band book? Remember, it is you who buy the Cornhusker; it is you for wtiom the Cornhusker is published; As a prospective buyer you should express your desire right now for the kind of a book you care to buy. 1 1 PROFESSOR GRANT TO GIVE ART LECTURE Will Discuss "Artists' Work in War Time" in Lecture Wednesday Evening Although Nebraska finished a suc cessful season in football with one of the smallest squads of all time, she will not be able to duplicate that feat in basketball. More material is needed for the varsity, and needed badly, for it now appears that only one letter man will be available as the nucleus around which to build a championship five. This is a much diffeMnt line-up than in football, where the squad, though few in num ber, was composed of a large per centage of veterans. More material is needed if Nebraska is to have a successful basketball season, and it is needed badly. There will be no better time than this for the man who was a star in high school, but just let things go when he entered college, to get out and turn his talents to the good of Nebraska. BUYING CORNHUSKERS The plan of the student publica tion board, or rather the faculty members of the student publication board, to make the University year book strictly a military annual de voted to Nebraska's soldiers un doubtedly conceived from a sincere .conviction that such a book was the only practical one at a time like this. The proposed booklet, does not, however, meet with one requisite which Is vital to its success as a commodity it does not appeal to the, consumers, the student body. The Cornhusker has always been a book devoted to University activities a history of the college year and as such as been purchased by students and alumni for reference in those future days when memory is dim. The outlined 1918 Cornhusker can scarcely have this classification, since everything concerning campus and student activities is to be eliminated except the military side. It will not be, in other words, a Corn husker, if we interpret the term In the light of precedent. It is the desire of every student to honor the men who have gone Into the army and navy. They are the source of the University's greatest pride in all the years of her exist ence. And any sort of a permanent student enterprise, the Cornhusker included, should be dedicated to them. But neither they themselves, nor students generally, would be par ticularly pleased with an overdose of that alone. On the other hand, not only would students be interested in a regulation Cornhusker with a mill tary supplement but those in the service would be as much, or more, desirous of seeing portrayed the ac tivities of the University a3 they would of reading their own biography The 1918 Cornhusker should have adequate recognition of Nebraska soldiers. But it should have ade quate recognition also of other Corn husker activities. Tared, it could Prof- Blanche C. Grant, associate professor of drawing and painting wil give her lecture on "Artists' Work in War Time," in the art gal lery Wednesday evening at 8:15. Professor Grant will use the collec tion of posters which she collected on her trip east last summer and which are now on exhibition in the gallery, to illustrate her lecture. The lecture will include a discus sion of famous cartoonists and of camouflage work, besides a descrip tion of the interesting and novel work artists are doing in connection with the war. The collection includes posters and cartoons by leading American artists, particularly those of New York, and also many foreign master pieces in this work. The famous "Cardinal Mercler Protege La Belique" is perhaps the most widely known of the war posters. Among these posters is a series from Montreal and one published by Collier's for the national guard. The collection will remain in the gallery for one week after which they will be started on a circuit, including the larger Nebraska towns. The money received from them in these towns will be donated to the Red Cross. There will not be any admittance charge for Professor Grant's lecture. Ten cents is being asked for the poster exhibit.
