UNIVERSITY NOTICES Campfire Girls The evening group of campflro girls will meet Monday evening, Decem ber 31, at the Y. W. C. A. rooms in the Temple. j NEWS FROM CAMP Arthur M. Hare, law '16, of Aurora is now a supply sergeant in H com pany, 134th U. S. Infantry at Camp Cody, Doming, N. M. Ho writes, "I am finding a good deal of satisfaction in my work in the army although I would prefer to have been assigned to duty sergeant's work as it deals more largely with the men themselves, but the matter of equipment is important also and to say the least I have been very busy at my job. "At this time I am. planning on at tending the Officers' school which will be held at this camp, beginning Janu ary 5, 1918. I feel that I can attend this session with a very good grace for the reason that every member will have to bo an enlisted man and his army service will not depend upon whether he is fortunate in securing a commission, as was thecase in the other training camps." Final Drive for Red Cross Today A final effort is being made by the committee of two hundred in charge of the Red Cross drive today, to get the required amount needed to fill Ne braska's quota, set at $1,600. About half of that amount has been turned in by the workers so far, but no spe cific figures are ready as many of those who are taking subscriptions, have not yet turned in their money. As nearly as possible every student and faculty member has been can vassed, and the work today will in clude ah Indiscriminate canvass of the campus and every person not al ready wearing a Red Cross button will be approached. Anyone who has not contributed and who wishes to do so may leave his contribution at? the student activities office. A SOLDIER'S MOTTO (Minnesota Daily) Every day soldiers are leaving every city town, and hamlet of the United States to travel the road that leads them they know not where. For somo it may be the road lead ing to that "Undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler re turns." Advice they will receive from all sides, but none will instill in them anything nobler than that each man to himself will say: "I will bo true, for there are those who trust me; I will be pure, for there are those who care; I will be strong, for there is much to suffer; I will be brave, for there is much to dare. I will go forth in all my strength of manhood; I -will keep spotless, so when war is o'er, I shall come home an honor to my country f j Ready and fit to do her work once more." Will Play "Experience" as Y. M. C. A. Benefit The play, "Experience," will be put on January 10 in the Temple theatre by a large cast from the classes in elocution. It was originally planned to present this play at the January de partmental meeting but, because of the way the rehearsals aro turning out in spite of the sizo of the cast, and the surprising ability of some of the newer members of the department, it was decided to make a public performance of it. Tho proceeds will bo used to help raise tho contribution to the Red Triangle pledge by tho University players. . , The whole play and ten episodes will be given necessitating a cast of over thirty, most of them players doubling or tripling. People who saw this play when it was in Lincoln will enjoy watching their friends in the parts of "Illiterate." "Stupid," "Sty e "Degredation," "Beauty." "Intoxica tion" and other, parts.

Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond had charge of the singing which was led by tho Univer sity chorus accompanied by Lincoln soloists and orchestra. Chancellor Avery presented tho Hainer scholar ship cup to Kappa Sigma fraternity. Prof. P. H. Grummann, head of tho college of fine arts, presided. Tho audience was an unusually largo ono, including besides Univer sity faculty and students a number of Lincoln people and members of the faculty of the University school of music.

Air He Shall Feed His Flock, Mrs. Enslow. Air Come Unto Him, Mrs. Murray. Air He Was Despised, Mrs. Ens low. Chorus Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs. Air I Know That My Redeemer Liveth, Mrs. Murray. Chorus Hallelujah. OH, MY HEAD! Two men fought a duel. On man was named Shott and the other Nott. Some said that Nott was shot, others that Shott was not. Hence it was better to be Shott than Nott. There was a rumor that Nott was not shot, and Shott avows that he shot Nott, which proves either that the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot, or that Nott was shot notwithstanding. On trial it was proved that the shot Shott shot shot Nott, or, as accidents with firearms are frequent, it may be possible that the shot Shott shot Shott himself, when the whole affair would resolve itself Into its original ele ments, and Shott would be shot and Nott would be not. Apparently the shot Shott shot shot not Shott but Nott. Ex. The following poem has been re ceived from the pen of a camp wit: The Kaiser's Prayer Meln Gott, will you be meln pardner? You don't know who I am, I am de German kaiser, Do emperor, Will-I-Yam. You know I whipped dem Belgians, Und mit bullets filled dem Russians full. And I'll whip France and Italy, And blow up Johnny Bull. Now for all dem other nations, I don't give a dam If you just be my pardner And whip that Uncle Sam. You know I got dem submarines, All Europe knows dat well, , 'But dat Edison got a patent now, Dat blows dem all to hell. Now, Gott, if you will do this, Den you I will always love. Und I will be emperor on de earth, Und you the emperor above. But Gott, if you refuse me this, Tomorrow night at eleven, I'll call my Zeppelins out Und dcelare war on heaven. I wouldn't ask this of you, But it can be plainly seen, Dat when Edison pushes dat button, I got no submarine. The Nebraskan wants a man to work from 9 to 10.

The Sale of the Tabooed Totem. Two black silk balls suspended by knotted black silk cords, marked "Totem, do not disturb," hangs above the desk of a well-known unmarried professor on first floor . U hall. Such a phenomena suggests the romantic. Now Webster told us when we consulted him that a "totem" is a natural object. Then he tells us that " natural" may be a kind of oyster or a wig worn in England. That much is then clear. But Webster qualifies his defini tion thusly: "a natural object, usually an animal such as a deer, wolf, tortoise or kangaroo." As the last mentioned animals clearly are irrelevant, one must in fer that this professor means the first. Webster continues: "A natural object such as deer, DeVilmar-Schefer Studios Instruction Equal to Paris Orpheum OPEN TILL A Good Place for Soda Fountain Refreshments after the Theatre and after the Rosewilde Dance CARSON HILDRETH, '95 and '96 LETTER WRITING is made a special feature in this school.

"Among savages as tho emblem of an individual." This professor evi dently is pessimistic, has black, knotted moods. Geniuses usually do. "Emblem regarded as an object of worship." Here the romanco comes in; Just why is this totem toted and touching tabooed.

The attending doctor was interested. "Where did your watch come from?" he asked. "A Gorman gave It to me," he an swered. A little piqued, tho doctor inquired how the foe had come to convey this token of esteem and affection. " 'E 'ad to," was tho laconic reply. Toronto Globe.
