Ask the average University of Nebraska student what he knows about the University "Y," and he will unhesitatingly admit that he knows little or nothing of it. The activities and the influence of the University "Y" have been confined during the past semester to a comparatively small element on the campus. Only the few students who have natural tendencies toward Y. M. C. A. work have derived any material benefit from the association's existence. The "Y" has not branched out over the campus; it has not reached the busy student who is identified with university activities; it has not caused its influence to become a part of the every day life of the average student The student has had to go to the "Y" himself, if he wished to learn of its activities. Why? Why. you ask, is this the case? Is something wrong with the organization of the Y. M. C. A.? No, we believe there is nothing wrong with the Y. M. C. A. It, like so many other organizations, has been left in an embarrasing position on account of the unforeseen circumstances arising from the War. It is destitute of funds. It has stood in a position similar to that of a grand piano with no one to play upon it; or like a giant ocean liner that has no fuel. Its potentialities for good are limitless if it has someone to play the keys, and plenty of fuel to run on. Billy Sunday, a Methodist church, or the Y. M. C. A. all, must be well supplied with "golden eagles" if they are to proceed unim peded, in the noble work they have cut out for themselves. The drive for funds which was initiated yesterday has already netted $927.50. This amount was pledged by 110 men, an average of $8.43 per man. This is only a fourth of the amount that must be raised by Friday noon. The campaign is not to be prolonged over several days. The aim is to make it short, snappy, and productive of results. Enough must be raised to pay the secretary's salary for next year, and in addition, all the other expenses that must be met in the general work of the association. The goal is not large, but its attainment means everything to the life of the association during 1919-20. The influence of the "Y" next year promises to reach out and touch the life of all university men on the campus. The new leader, Mr. Don Henley, comes to the University of Nebraska with the de termination to develop the potential possibilities of the college man for christian leadership. The present generation of college men will be the leaders of tomorrow. They should know and practice the Golden Rule. They should understand the system of common law ethics. Their moral judgment should be sound. These things, can the student learn from association with the right kind of Y. M. C. A. men. If you believe in the "Y," give a liberal pledge to the solicitor who stops you on the campus. A BIT OF INSPIRATION The article printed in this issue of the Daily Nebraskan, giving a few inspirational chapters from the life of Mr. John W. Gamble, '12, of Omaha, cannot fail to produce a thrill in the heart of every student who has dreams and ambitions of commercial triumph. The remarkable rise of this man is more romantic than Action. The receipt he gives for success is merely, "go after a thing and stick to it." The references made to the value of a college education, are exceedingly pleasing to the mind of the student who Is struggling along to got what knowledg he can. The words of praise Mr. Gamble has for a college education, are as sweet music to the ear of the student who is working his way through the University. "Other things being equal, the college trained man will be the biggest suc cess in business." These words from the lips of a practical man of affairs, have behind them the weight of prestige and of experience. Clip the article that we print today, and, if some time you become aiscouraged with your work, and wonder If you are not wasting your time while going to college, get it out, and read it over a couple of times. You will then take up your work with renewed vigor and Inspiration. One of the great lessons that a university education should teach us is to be able to read searchingly. Usually when we .-ead we take the attitude that the printed is infallible, and though we may think differently from the writer, we are afraid to disagree because It is down in black and white. College training should erase this attitude. What we should remember is that we have the privilege of think ing for ourselves. An author may be right, or wrong. But we should decide for ourselves. College training should do thte for us. What we should do ia to be able to pick out the hest books, and then be able to read them intelligently. Reading a poor boA is worse than wasting time. It is misusing it. We should first of all get a good book to read, then pick out the best in the book for fu ture reference. The bad points should be relegated to the scrap heap. Intelligent reading Is like intelligent anything else. Pick out the best, and discard the poor. It's like a business. If the business or reading is conducted along good business-like lines, the results can be nothing but satisfactory and uplifting. Michigan Dally.

DEPICTS CIRCUMSTANCES OF EX-HUSKER'S DEATH (Continued from Vnge One) standing between our air services to care for each other's mobile to a hos pital. If he succumbed to his wounds later, he would be buried at the hospi tal and our Graves Registration Bureau will eventually come to the place and write you of the locality. 1 went over a list of 6,000 names of of fleers and men who were still unac counted for March 2nd, and Ray s name was on the list. "I have written the First Air Depot, A. E. F., and requested them to send you at once any news they might have received. If a man fell on our side he was immediately buried and a notice sent to his parents but where men fell on ground that was in German the time, but that Is all being gone over now and all graves are being properly marked and registered. You will hear soon If you have not already heard from the Graves Registration Bureau. Many of our pilots came back to us after the armistice, whom we had considered lost; many of them had been wounded, captured and well cared for. They heard, of others who had died but no one ever heard a word of Raymond!. "On October 22, 191. Ray went up on a patrol with four other boys of the 94th. They encountered Hun and a r.gnt rouoweu. ai mt rmuo af they were heavily shelled by Hun anti aircraft artillery. They did not know until they came back to camp that Raymond wasn't back with them. None of them saw him get hit. No one saw him leave the formation and some thought that when the Hun planes fled back across the lines, Ray may have followed them and later was attacked by many more Huns. He may have been hit by an anti-aircraft gun and forced down. If a man is shot in the air, he Is always seen to fall, so they think he pursued the re treating Huns and was led into a pocket of other Huns who were laying still higher up and waiting for a chance to dive down on any ally who would get separated from his forma tion. At the time he waa patroling over the Verdun-Ponta-Musson sector and as these lines never moved right there we never had a chance to go over the ground until after the war. This is being systematically done now and you should hear soon but I regret that I cannot hold out any hope for Ray's safety. The time is too long now and all living men have come back to us. If an aviator fell, the Germans generally buried him with all honor and marked the grave. Some of these are hard to find, when you consider that they are many of them in remote woods. When you think that Ave months after the war ended there are ttill 6,000 lost men, you will realize what a gigantic task our Graves Bureau has. "May you find great comfort in the fact that Ray was one of our nerviest, fastest and bent aviators. He feared absolutely nothing, was always anxi ous to get Into his ship no matter what (he mission was and he per formed every dangerous mission In our service before he was lost. He was a most lovable boy about camp and barracks and was exceedingly popular both with men . and officers. I never saw him downhearted and never saw the seriousness of his duty depress him the way it did so many men in the same work. "All his many friends send to you. his mother and sister their most heartfelt sympathy. "Anything that you might ever wish to know I would gladly answer at any time. My home is 6425 Fifth Ave., Pittsburgh, and I expect to be there July 1. 1919. "Raymond's personal effects, cloth ing, trunk, etc., were Bent to Personal Effect 8 Depot, A. E.

Y. 5 1 Tn If we say that our clothes are distinctive, we say the same thing that thousands of other clothiers have said. It is a word that is much over-wrought and in most cases means nothing. But we mean a lot when we say that Kuppenheimer Clothes are "distinctive." We mean that they have elements of style, definite refinements of tailoring and precise fabric qualities that distinguish them from other clothes-characteristic that set the pre cedence for clothing value.
