DOLLARS MUST FIGHT
In these days when colored pins on
on war maps are being moved ao rap
Idly on all fronts toward the Ger
man border lines and optimism reigns
as press reports are followed. Amer
ica Is Justly proud of her sons who
have crossed to fight the battles of
democracy. On every front they have
distinguished themselves and have
shown the magnitude of the power at
which Germany has scoffed.
But a long hard fight remains be
fore the saage power of the Hun can
be broken; a fight which will require
of America at least another million
of her sons. No headlong German re
treat has aa yet been begun and no
military expert expects peace before
another year has passed. Two mill
ion Yankees in France and two mill
ion more on their way or preparing to
go are dependant upon the people of
America for their support. Those at
home must pay for their transporta
tion; feed tljem after they are across
and supply guns and ammunition for
them while they are hi the trenches.
No longer must one plead for sup
port of Liberty loans; no longer must
one argue for dollars. It is Impera
tive that we should give our dollars
that the men who have crossed shall
not have given their lives in vain and
j that those who are fighting may con
i tinue until the victorious peace is won.
Today a campaign to raise 40,UU0
among the members of the faculty
and administrative force of the Uni
ersity; $15,000 among members of the

For This Issue
partially attributed to a combination
of the efforts of Old Man Jinx direct
ed toward the Coruhusker machine,
Nebraskans must concede they lost to ( gium or England and turn in your
a better team and that the score of 12-0
was fairly indicative of the strength
of the opposing elevens. In straight
football Iowa clearly excelled, both in
team and individual work the total
yards annexed by her totaling
fifty more than Ihose netted by Ne
braska. Though the Iowa score is a black
mark for the opening game of the sea
son it is neither the fault of the coach
ing system nor of the individual play
ers. Coaches Kline and Schlssler have
worked faithfully and efficiently, not
only during the practices of the sea
son but through the summer in their
efforts to add another victorious rec
ord to Nebraska's list and the fail
ure in the first game was brought on
by a combination of unavoidable cir
cumstances which left Nebraska's bat
tles to a team composed almost entire
ly of men new to University football.
Schellenberg was ' handicapped by 'a
recent attack of the grippe and Mc
Mahon by being compelled to spend
most of bis time the last week in
straightening out bis call to the Great
Lakes.
The defeat at the hands of Iowa is
a severe blow to the over-confident
fans who listened with a smile to
Coach Kline's urgent appeal for ma
terial at the beginning of the season,
and who nudged each other as they
heard Assistant Coach Schissler tell
of the prowess of the Hawkeye aggre
gation. Nebraskans have always been
handicapped by their over-confidence
and their, tendency to treat all warn
ings by the coaches or athletic di
rectors as "dope." At times in the
past such tendency may have been ex-!
cusable but this year it will be known
that the Nebraska coaching staff be
lieves in picturing conditions as they
are.
Saturday's defeat shows that both
team and rooters must fight harder
when they meet the Funston aggrega
tion of all Stars on the home field
next week. Every student in the
stand must consider himself and his
rooting as essential to victory and fol
low every direction of the leaders.
This and nothing else will spur the
team to victory-. The statement that
Nebraska will face a better team next
week than the Iowa eleven is not
balance to the committee.

Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Alpha
Epsilon in holding an "open house"
for soldiers of Company B Friday
evening inaugurated a custom which
it is hoped will be carried on by other
fraternities and sororities in the Uni
versity. While many entertainments
are provided by the Y. M. C. A. the
soldiers enjoy more than anything
else the opportunity to mingle with
outsiders. They enjoy helping Bupply
entertainment as much as they en
joy being entertained.
In nearly every city in the country
homes are open to the wearer of the
uniform and he is shown the hospi
tality that would otherwise be 6hown
only to friends of long-standing. In
Lincoln, while many of the trainers
have been taken into the homes for
meals on Sunday and farewell pa
rades have been staged, very few
parties are given during the time they
are here.
The University, having given nearly
two thousand men to the service,
fully appreciates the need of frequent
entertainments and will see that
trainers who are stationed here in the
future will not lack for the thing it
can give. Captain Maclvor in ex
pressing his appreciation to the
Greeks for the Friday evening party,
has shown his approval of the "open
house" programs and it Is hoped other
fraternities and sororities will keep
the new plan alive.

or after they are actually called into
service. Two forms of application
have been received at the chancellor's
office; one for registrants to iiom
no P. M. G. O. call hat been mailed

would aeera that It Is the only method
of procedure for the men who are
classified In Class 1-A by the local
boards.
It will be observed that this applica
tion may be made whether the regis
trant has actually been called or not.
and it may be made on behalf of one
who has actually been Inducted Into
active military service.
S. A. T. C. men desiring to Join the
chorus report to Mrs. Raymond at the

FINANCE COMMITTEE
SUBMITS ITS REPORT
The finance committee of the Fac
ultyPatriotlc league of the University
of Nebraska begs to submit the fol
lowing report concerning its activities
for the academic year of 1917-1918:
The work of this committee has con
sisted primarily in co-operating with
the war activities committee of the
Lincoln Commercial' club In conduct
ing the various campaigns for the
raising of war funds. The down-town
campus of the University has been
designated as one of the regular can
vassing districts of the city and the
chairman of the finance committee, to
gether with the chairman of the com
mittee of co-operation with students,
has been placed in charge of this dis
trict. In the second Liberty Loan
campaign the finance committee as
sumed charge, of the subscriptions ol
both faculty and students, but in the
later campaigns it was deemed a more
effective arrangement to confine the
work of the finance committee to the
securing of faculty subscriptions and
the work of the committee on co-operation
with students to the securing
of students subscriptions. Likewise
in the second Liberty Loan campaign
the work of the finance committee, in
cluded the farm campus but later this
part of the campus was placed in
charge of a separate committee.
During the first semester Dean (now
Major) O. V. P. Stout served as chair
man of this committee and it was due
to his efficient and thorough work that
such an excellent showing was made
in the second Liberty Loan campaign.
Altogether the finance committee
has conducted four principal war fund
campaigns. Detailed reports have al
ready been submitted to the league
covering each of these and a summary
will suffice at this time.
