economics club
Korean Who Took Degree at Ne
braska Working for Better
ment of His Country.
The Current Socio-Economlc Club
adopted a constitution, elected officers
and discussed the Far-Eastern situa
tion at a dinner meeting in the Blue
Room of the city Y. M. C. A., Wednes
day evening. Henry Chung, a Korean,
who took his master's degree at the
University of Nebraska and is work
ing to improve the conditions in his
own country, led the discussion.
The constitution limits the number
of active members to thirty. Honor
ary members may be elected. Those
wishing to become members should
submit their application endorsed by
two members. Manford Liliefors was
elected president; Helen Sparks, vice
president and Julia Streetor, secre
tary and treasurer.
Mr. Chung is making a tour of the
United States lecturing upon condi
tions in Korea under the ' Japanese
rule. His aim is to give publicity to
the facts and in that way arouse a
public sympathy for Korea, which
would influence the Japanese policy.
He said that Japan's treatment of
Korea parallels Germany's treatment
of Belgium and Turkey's treatment of
Armenia, but that the world does not
hear about Korea because of the
close censorship Japan exercises.
"CO-EDS" WITH GUN
SWELL COFFRS $300
A Powder River atmosphere wa?
given to the Cornhusker Sales Cam
paign Wednesday evening, when Em
ma Cross, Alyne O'Laughlin, a brand
new revolver, plus $300 were ushered
into the student activities office.
It 1 exactly six blocks from the
Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house to
the basement door of the Cornhusker
business sanctum. Last night it
seemed much longer as two silhouet
ted forms passed along the darkened
streets with a heavy burden in a
large money bag.
It is rumored that the "iady from
Wyoming" carried the revolver all
the way, with a finger on the trig
ger for instant's action. The other
followed several paces to the rear.
No highwaymen or near-highway
men were encountered, but it was two
severely frightened girls who dropped
$300 in cash and currency into the
Cornhusker coffer and then sank down
in the straight-backed chairs of the
activities office to recuperate.
No casualties were reported after
the episode, because upon examination
of the gun today, it was found to con
tain nothing but four paper bullets.
But the Cornhusker money-bag was
swelled $300.

PROGRAM IS COMPLETED
FOR UNIVERSITY NIGHT
The spice of University life, as pre
sented in ten skits, with band and or
chestra music will enliven the high
school auditorium April 17. University
Night.
The committee met Thursday morn
ing to consider the skits that have
been submitted. George Driver, the
chairman, is highly pleased with them.
He said that a special effort is being
made this year to make all the skits
local in subject matter and to usj
home talent exclusively. The skits will
include take-offs on University people,
music, dancing and vaudeville. Three
twenty-minute skits and seven curtain
skits will be given.
The University band and orchestra
will play. The seating capacity of the
high school auditorium is 2500, and a
full house is expected.
Gypsies From Sioux City Use
Buicks and
Nebraskans were greeted with j
strange sight Wednesday. Seven au
tomobile loads of Gypsies with beads,
jewelry, and cigarets, were held un
der police control for several hours,
and caused much excitement among
co-eds at the University. Although
Buicks and Haynes are rather expen
sive Gypsie wagons, yet these aristo
cratic wanderers had been using high
ly powered cars to transport them
wherever fancy dictated.
The band claimed to have come
from the boiling-pot of Mexico, but
investigation proved that they were
merely voyagers from Sioux City.
They spoke many tongues, including
Spanish, Italian and a Mexican dialect.
Modern fashions were displayed by
the women of the band, as they
proudly exhibited French heels under
flared skirts of brilliant colors.
Gypsies, it seems, as well as Parisians,
have fallen victims to American
styles. Some of the women in the
party smoked long, evil-smelling
cigarettes. Cheap jewelry was dis
played on every hand.

student on the city campus. If a
solicitor does not reach you today, be
sure to leave your order at the Stu
dent Activities office.
All subscription books should be
checked into the Student Activities
office by five-thirty tonight The win
ner of the hundred dollar prize will
be announced in Monday's Daily Ne
braskan. Haynes as Wagons
Strange to say, unsanitary condi
tions fail to harm some persons. The
Gypsy illustrates this, with his vague
ideas of cleanliness. Sanitation is a
total stranger to him, with his appar
ent love for dirt and grime. And yet,
the Gypsies live and thrive and
seem to enjoy it all.
Male attention did not bother these
queer travelers in the least but curi
ous co-eds were given their walking
papers when they got too close, or
began prying into the Becrets of
Gypsy life.
These strange wanderers of a dying
race pretend to be friends of educa
tion. They declare that those who do
not avail themselves of educational
opportunities are "no good," and ad
mit that they, themselves, are "no ac
count" because they were never
taught and did not wish to learn, the
advantages of a common school train
ing.
A strange band with strange ideas
and yet they have adopted modern!
modes of travel, modern dress, and
have realized, if not believed, that an
education is worth while. !
TRACK TEAM OFF
TO KANSAS CITY
Coach Schulte Has Difficulty in
Selecting wen lor inaoor
Meet.
INDIANS IN MILE RELAY
Tomorrow evening the track team
will leave Lincoln for Kansas City
where it will compete in the indoor
track meet held under the auspices of
the Kansas City Athletic Club.
Coach Schissler gave out a probable
list but it is uncertain what men will
be used and changes might have to
be made.
Low hurdles, 50 yards.
Wright 6-2
Gish
Flood 6-3
Shot put
Dale '. 41 ft.
Reese 38 ft.
Pole Vault
Gtrhart 10 ft.
Lees 10 ft.
For the quarter, half, mile and one
thousand yard handicap the following
men are entered:
Graff, Egan, Dorn. Kenner, Wil
liams and Kretzler. ,
Nebraska has the Haskell Indiaa
cliool for opponents in the mile relay.
McMahon will probably be the ancho
man. The men for the other positions
will be chosen from Owens, Metzger,
Peering, and Egan.
So far not enough men have turned,
out for track work.
The team is handicapped by the fact
that there are not enough good men
to fall back on in case of injuries.
It will take two or three years to build
up a team but Coach ehulte has great
hopes for Nebraska in the future.
