Men start in their first year to compete with each other for the more important positions of the junior and senior years. New Features for Annual A departure will be made this year UNIVERSITY STUDENTS CELEBRATE THIS WEEK University students are getting a few of the joys of Christmas some what prematurely this week. Be cause of the fact that most of the m?n and women will return to out-of-town homes next week, many uni versity organizations are holding holi day celebrations this week.

UNIVERSirV MIGHT PLANS UNDER WAV Stunts Being- Arranged for Tenth Annual Affair Program Com jjleted After Christmas Y. M. C. A. Prcbably Not to Man age Event This Year Promises to be Best Ever Held University Night, that one time in the whole college year when the stu dent may do exactly as he likes, and say exactly what he pleases, is once more appearing on the horizon. Some time in March, the tenth annual Uni versity Night will be hold in the city auditorium. This affair which con sists of campus impersonations and clever skits is a real tradition of the university and a part of the college life which every student loves to re member in after years. University Night was originated nine years ago by the University Y. M. C. A. and every year since that time, the student body has lived in antici pation of this relished bit of fun for weeks and weeks in advance of the ac tual affair. Its popularity has in creased with the successive pleasur able evenings'. To Ec'ipse Former Years Because it is to eclipse all other vears in originality and ingenuity, plans are already under way to pre pare a program worthy of the occas ion. The committee desires that all organizations who will present skits begin work on them at once. A good plan would be for the time during the holidays to be spent in racking- of brains for new and individual Ideas, for the working up of some real im personations. This is the one night in the year when literally speaking, the student has absolute free speech, and some of the faculty are usually given a chance to see themselves as others see them. Skits Submitted After Holidays Soon after Christmas the Daily Ne braskan will announce the committee which will have charge of the plans for the program. All skits must be pre sented for approval seme time early in February. The sooner they can be turned over to the committee, the bet ter University Night will be. "MIKE" SELZER STAR OF AVIATORS' GRID TEAM Lieutenant "Mike" Selzer, '17. for mer Cornhusker football star, has re turned from Chanute Field, Illinois, where he has been in the aviation service, and is making a short visit at the Phi Kappa Psi house. Recentlv, Chanute field football play ers defeated their brother aviators from Scott field in a peppery game cn Illinois field 6 to 0. The lone score of the game came in the last five minutes of play, when Selzer. left half-back in the Chanute lineup, went over for a touchdown. His many Mends at the'University will be glad t0 ,earn that despite hfs in the air " on many occasion, of late, he still knows how to play foo.ball and play it well. e oni FOR mil Committee Sets Goal at $1000 and One Hundred Per Cent Membership Appeal This Year Greater Than Ever Before Drive to Close Friday Noon One hundred per cent and over the i . ... . . t rep m me annual ueo. ross inemuer ship driva Is the goal of the campaign j workers at thi university of Nebras ka. At eight o'clock this morning the movement to canvass the entire stu- v. dent body of the university was launched on the campus. The cam paign will last until Friday noon in pider that everyone may be given an opportunity to subscribe. Twenty-five I girls will have the buttons for sale. The price of each button Is one dollar. The purchase of one of them entitles the wearer to one year's membership in the national organization of Red Cross. The committee in charge of the cam paign has set one thousand dollars as the goal to be reached by Friday noon. As this will be the last time this year that students will be asked for any war subscriptions, that quota should be easily filled. The United War Work Campaign included all other organiza tions in one big total. The unlv ity went on record for an oversubscrip tion .then, and will go on another such record at the end of this week. Call Is Very Urgent This year more than ever before, there is need for support for this merciful organization. The boys who have gone to France have given their all for the sake of justice and human ity. Some of them, appalling num bers when figured up, are returning to this country badly wounded. These boys must be taken care of, and the money which was raised last year has been nearly exhausted by the contin ual drain upon it for relief work in France and at the cantonments. So everyone should make it a point to answer ready to the 1919 roll call of Red Cross. Faculty Committee at Work The committee members of the fac ulty division for the various buildings on the campus are as follows: University Hall Prof. W.H. Cald well. Library Hall Dr. Winifred Hyde. Administration and Pharmacy Max Westerman. Mechanical Arts Building Prof. W. C. Brenke. Mechanical Engineering Prof. L. F. Seaton. Bessey Hall Prof. It. J. Pool. Chemistry Building Prof. Fred W.

CHORUS TO PRESENT HANDEL'S "MESSIAH" Twenty-fourth Annual Presenta tion of Famous Oratorio Friday Morning Talented Orchestra to Assist Classes Excused for Xmas Convocation The university chorus will present Handel's oratorio, "The Messiah," with strings and organ accompaniment, in Memorial Hall Friday morning at nine. "The Messiah" has been given an nually for twenty-four years as, the Christmas convocation. This is the first musical program of the school year. Classes will be dismissed from nine to ten o'clock. Practice on the oratorio has been going on for several weeks and the music promises to be excellent. Sev eral members of the chorus, however, who were in the " S. A. T. C. have gone home since its disbanding, thus leaving the male parts of the chorus a little weak. Talented Orchestra Participates The orchestra represents a collec tion of the best talent in Lincoln. Edward J. Walt, first violinist, is j the leader. ; The soloists are Vera Augusta j Upton, soprano; uaua enae. um - 1UUI , lUJIUttUU, V HOI ivq 'r--.- tenor. The orchestra is composed of Edward J. Walt, first violin; Jessie Wilkins, second violin; Wm. Quick, viola; Lilian Eiche, cello; Mark Pierce, double bass; Louise Zum winkle. organ. Mrs. Carrie B. Ray mond, director of the chorus, will con duct the music. Tho program follows: Tenor Recitative, "Comfort Ye My People." Tenor Aria, "Ev'ry Valley Shall Be Exalted" Chorus, "And the Glory of the Lord Shall Be Revealed" Pastoral Symphony Strings and Organ Soprano Recitative "There Were Shepherds Abiding in the Field" "And Lo the Angel of the Lord" "And the Angel Said Unto Them" "And Suddenly There Was with the Angel" Chorus, "Glory to God in the Highest" Contralto Recitative. "Then Shall the Eyes of the Blind" Contralto Air, "He Shall Feed His Flock" Soprano Air, "Come unto Him" Chorus, "Hallelujah" Complain of Muddy Walks Much complaint has been voiced by students, in regard to the muddy condition of the side-walks on both sides of the new social science and teachers' buildings. Recently the dirt, which had accumulated from extensive haul ing was removed and the side-walks w'ere made visible again. Since that time, however, excavation has been started for the laying of heating-pipes from the city campus to the new build ings. The result is that the walks are almost completely submerged again in places and sin-? rne recent rain pedestrians have teen given a real taste of "Flarders mud". USTOI MP fW HERS ii VISIT Dr. Stt'vart Froposcs That the Kansa3 Scldiers Come Up nnd Stay All Next Week Ten Candidates Battle for Berths on the Varsity No New Bookings for Trip i Even before the Cornhuskers make their Initial swing Into Iowa and Illi nois territory next month, the Ne braska basket flippers will probably see some real service here on their own floor, If negotiations betwen Dr.. Stewart and the basketball coach at Camp Funston pan out satisfactorily. The Nebraska athletic director re ceived a telegram from the Funston coach yesterday asking for a couple of games with the Huskers. He stated that they were putting a team In the field again this year and wanted some big games for their schedule in order to keep up the morale of the men around camp. Doctor Stewart sent a reply last night suggesting that the Funston tossers come up and visit the Corn husker camp next Monday for a week or so, in which time they would get in a wek of solid practice and wind up with a couple of matches before the sporting public. Huskers Need Practice The Huskers are in need of a great deal of stiff practice to shape them for the formal opening of the season against the Hawkeyes at Iowa City, January 3,"anfl doc swwart was oniy too willing to snatch up the Funston offer. Wednesday's drill was devoted most ly to developing team work, shooting baskets and handling the ball on a fast floor. Ten candidates were working on the varsity squad and all were showing up well. Hubka, Jackson and Shellenberg from last year's regulars were tearing things up and Neumann, Howarth, Lanphere, Patty, Gillilan. Gardner and Busch were also perform ing like regular basket tossers. GiPilan and Neumann exhibited exceptional ; owarth( Patty and Ga,Mne. were not entirely out of the limelight. Dr. Stewart had no new announce ments concerning further bookings for the opening trip starting at Iowa City but the jaunt will probably in clude games farther north and east. Old "Dad" Plunkett advises: "Take this advice," says wise old Dad, "and you'll avoid a fight. Think twice, and then if you're still mad. just k.ep your mouth closed tight." Corn's do not grow on a shoe tree. An ice man isn't necessarily a nice man. Kids start to work very early in life. Some of them get a job cutting teeth before they are a year old. The only woman that mo.-t women will trust their husbands with is the one th?y see in their mirrors. CHRISTMAS VACATION COMMENCES SATURDAY Vacation for the holidays will begin Saturday, December 21, at 6 p. m. and last until Saturday, December 21, at f p. m. Practically all university stu dents will find it possible to return home for this period of time. School will be held on New Year's day. the same as It was last year. The week's vacation seems to be very acceptable to the S. A. T. C. men who expected to be in the service at this time and who were promised but or? day leave of absence from the post. The influenza epidemic which for a time threatened the continuance of school for the" rest of the semester seems to have subsided a great deal and school conditions are practically normal again.
