The importance of the Y. M. C. A
Holcombe drive may be realized,
when conditions in Egypt at his time
are brought to light. Funds are
necessary to change these conditions
jand university men will supply the
funds needed in the campaign which
will be in full swing next week.
Kenneth J. Saunders, Oxford scholar.
and well acquainted with actual con
ditions existing in Egypt, will speak
at convocation Tuesday in behalf of
the drive. He is on his way to the
east again after spending a few
months in America.
The hope of Eypt is the mission
ary influence which Is needed by
caste and Moslem alike. The outlook
in that country is brightened by the
defeat of Turkey, the political cham
plon of Islam. Moslems are conse
quently face to face with a new Bitua'
tion, and say that Allah must have de
creed that Christian nations should
win
"The Christian conflict has changed
in Egypt within the last decade,"
said Dr. S. M. Sweemer. "Formerly
the arena was the Koran and Moslem
tradition, and now it is the Bible."

FORUM DISCUSSES "REAL
VS. FALSE EDUCATION"
"Real versus False Education" was
the subject of discuss! a at the Forum
meeting yesterday afternoon In toe
Y. M. C. A. room in the Temple. Mr.
Thompson who lead the- discussion
raised tbe question whether the aver
age student knew why he was In col
lege, whether he Is there because some
one else is there and whether too much
attention is not given to the merce
nary', money-making side of education
as compared with the cultural.
Thirty cents will be the admission
to a dance and .some six or ten shows,
and will include refreshments too; It
will be the admission to an entertain
ment whose business managers alone
number ninety-one.
The all-university fun-fest to be held
in the Temple and Armory next Satur
day night, February 14, Is the enter
tainment referred to. Ninety-one stu
denU compose the committees in
charge. The skits will begin at the
Temple at seven-thirty. Later in the
evening there will be dancing and
other entertainment in the Armory.
The refreshments will be served In
the Temple.
This is the third big mixer of the
school year. There was a large at
tendance at the other two which were
held in the Armory. For the party
Saluiday night, about four times as
n-uch room has been provldoJ. If
four times as many students turn out,
not many will remain at home.
A number of entertainments will be
going on at the same time, but they
will all be given twice so that more
than one may be seen. The skrits, for
the most part, will represent the
lighter phase of university life. There
will be take-offs on university ac
tivities. Other entertainments will
entirely remove the thoughts of those
present from school affairs. For in
stance, the Palladians will put on
a real black-face minstrel show.
February 14 is a closed night.
All university men who are
interested in or who have played
baseball are requested to meet
in the Armory at 11:50 a. m.,
Friday.
A LEAP YEAR LEAP
ENDS IN PROPOSAL
"The Miracle of Love" Pictured
on Campus Before Large
Audience.
Wednesday's mid-day sun beamed
down upon the campus with unusual
brightness, and smiled. But "Sol" did
not smile alone; profesors smiled,
students smiled, in fact the whole
world smiled. That did noT disturb
the lovers as they strolled luncheon
ward across the campus, entwined In
each other's arms and smiling as much
as any one. Why shouldn't everyone
smile? The world was so beautiful.
Obvlivious of the fact that the uni
versal amusement was caused by the
attitude they took toward each an
other, the lovers face to face and
cheek to cheek moved on, slowly,
deliberately, unaware that they were
the source of this wide-spread happi
ness. From somewhere in the north
west corner of the campus they ap
peared first as one, then, upon their
drawing nearer, they separated into
two distinct objects. So, they did not
exactly separate but the line of differ
entiation became slightly marked and
it was decided by the large number
of judges that they were two distinct
ly different personages, whose hearts

NEW CAFETERIA TO
BE OPENED MONDAY
The new university cafeteria which
is located in the Temple building will
open Monday morning for service.
The cafeteria has been moved from
the first floor to the ibasement which
has been redecorated and fitted up
for service and also for the use of
the faculty.
There will be no service in the
cafeteria Sunday, so that things may
be moved and put in Bhape for busi
ness Monday. The cafeteria will be
open all day Monday for the inspec
tion of the students and faculty and
refreshments will be served.
BLOCK AND BRIDLE
CLUB HOLDS MEETING
Animal Husbandry Society Form
erly Known as "Saddle and
Sirloin Club" Elects Officers.
POWELL CHOSEN PRESIDENT
Carl Powell was elected president
of the Block and Bridle club for this
semester, succeeding R. E. Fortna, at
a meeting of the club held recently,
Other officers elected were: Cecil
Crowell, vice president; Harold
Hedges, secretary; Harold M. Adams,
treasurer.
The Block and Bridle club Is a na
tional organization composed of
Juniors and seniors majoring in the
department of animal husbandry.
Professors are also included in the
membership.
The Nebraska chapter of this club
was formerly known as the Saddle
and Sirloin club and was organized in
1917, but after the various clubs of
the country, including Nebraska, na
tionalized in December at Chicago, it
took name which it now bears.
The "Baby International." held at
the farm last fall, was staged by the
Block and Bridle club and was a real
success.
Plans for the annual high school
students' judging contest, which is
held under the auspices of the club,
and the annual inter-class judging
contest, are now under way.
ENGINEERS TO HONOR
ST. PATRICK AT HOP
The engineers will not honor St,
Patrick, their patron saint, by an
elaborate parade with floats this year,
Instead they will make engineer's
hop, which will be hold in the spring,
a costume ball in honor of the saint
This action was taken in view of the
expense and diffculty of arranging a
celebration. George S. Salter made a
trip to Missouri to investigate the
possibilities of holding a celebration
in Nebraska such as the engineers of
Missouri presented.
No definite date has been set for
Engineer's Week. It will probably be
held the last week In April or the
first week in May. The big feature of
the week will be Engineer's Night
when all the laboratories will be open
for the Inspection of tbe public. A
dance, banquet and a field day have
been arranged for. Field day will in
clude baseball games between the
engineers and a horse shoe tourna
men for the professors.
HUSKERS READY
FOR FARMERS
Creighton Catholics Grab Victory
By One Point Over Aggie
from ' Michigan.
SCHISSLER'S TOSSERS ARE
CONFIDENT
CADET OFFICERS
All Cadet officers must have their
Cornhusker pictures taken before
Saturday, February 28. The group
picture of the Cadet Officer Associa
tion w! be taken Saturday noon,
February 21. at Tovksends.
A light practice was the order yes-"
terday in the Cornhusker basketball
camp. The Huskers are now in prime
condition to meet the strong Michigan
Aggie five and are prepared to give
the Farmers a battle they will not soon
forget. The prowess of the Aggie
bunch was again forcibly emphasized
when they lost to the fast Creighton
team at Omaha Thursday night by
only one point. The Aggie team out
played the Catholics throughout the
entire game, scoring ten field goals to
Creighton's seven. Fourteen fouls
were called on the Michigan team and .
only six on Creighton. The Aggies led '
11-6 at the end of the first half and a
basket by Mulholland, Creighton star, '
won the game when the Farmers were
ahead 21-20.
According to Tommy Mills, Creigh
ton coach, the Aggies are to be feared
much more than the Indiana Hoosiers,
who recently divided a two-game
series with the Huskers. The Catho
lics had little trouble in trouncing
Jumbo's team but almost found their
match in the Aggie team. While the
Huskers lost by a four point margin
to the Hossiers in the first game, they
easily beat them 38-18 in the final
clash. In spite of all these indications
of a Michigan victory, there is no sign
of gloom prevailing in Cornhusker
quarters. The Nebraskans are confi
dent that the Aggies are in line for a
big surprise when they reach Lincoln.
The Aggie team is a flve-man-scor-ing
combination. Every man on the
squad is an expert shot at the basket.
