More than thirty new tennis courts,
small trees and shrubbery have con

space was occupied by dozens of
cramped up dwellings. They will tell
you, also, of the period of muddy days
which followed whe nthe first excava

which are now showing themselves.
Those were, -the days when "Nebras

Improvements on this part of the ex

on this part of the campus and also
cn the part surrounding the Teachers'
College and north of Ellen Smith
Hall.
Just south of Bessey Hall a row of
tennis courts extending to Fourteenth
street has been almost completed.
These courts will meet with the ap
proval of "tennis-loving" students ant'
will take the place of a long felt need
at the University. The courts are
part of the Greater Nebraska athletic
program initiated by Director Luehr
ing when he came to the school.
The""grounds will be beautified along
the ntyvly laid cement walks with
trees, spirea bushes and othr shrubs
Members of the University R. O
T. C. will use the grounds south of
the tennis courts as a drill field. Be
fore levelling eff the ground, the holes
that were in evidence in all parts of
the field reminded some of the shell
holes which they had seen In France.
Altogether, it has been a wonderful
transformation!
TO BEGIN TUESDAY
Annual Drive for Funds to Support
Y. W. C. A. in China Comes
this Week.
The Grace Coppock campaign for
'unds to support Grace L. Coppock.
03, national executive of the Y. W
C. A. in China, will be on in full force
oeginnig Tuesday. The campaign wil.
tot only be a campaign for money
but it will be a week in which the
work ot Nebraska women graduate?
in the foreign field will be put before
the students.
Four Nebraska women are givins;
their services in the work for Chinese
wemn. Grace L. Coppock, to whom
ft-.o nanpv reiver -in this cimpr.ign
goes, is national executive of the Y.
W. C. A. in China. She is in charge
of all of the work there. Fourteen
years of work is her service record in
that field. Vera Barger, '11, is head
of the Y. W C. A. normal physical
educaticn school at Shanghai, China.
Ethel Hartley and Genevieve Lorwy.
'15. are secretaries in the Y. W. C. A.
at Hanchow.
Miss Lowry, who is in the United
States on leave, will be here during
the campaign.
Why the work these Nebraska grad
uates are doing means so much to
China is expressed in this extract
frcm "Changing Chinese," by E. A.
Ross: "All the railroads that may be
built, all the mines that may be
cpened, all the trade that may be
fostered, cannot add half as much to
the happiness of the Chinese people as
the cultivation of the greatest of their
undeveloped resources, their woman
hood." Grace L Coppock in her work in
China is helring meet this challenge.
There are working with her a staff
of ninety-six foreign secretaries,
seventy-five of whom are from the
United States and all of whom are
supported by their home people. Sixty
Chinese women are giving volunteer
services and there are thirty-two
Chinese secreisrles who are supported
by money raised in China
Difficulties which this corps of
workers must face are great. The
work this year is particularly heavy
because of the famine?. Miss Coppock
writes that 20.000.000 men, women and
children of North China are on the
verge of starvation. Five dollars will
keep one rerson from starving until
the spring harvest
Chinese women are looking to
America for leadership. The Univer
sity of Nebraska already has a worker
in the field, whom It is the privilege
of Nebraska women to support in her
work. Every woman student will be
given an opportunity during Nebraska
in China week to contribute her share.

LEROSSIGNOL RECEIVES
UNIQUE PAMPHLET
Dean LeRossignol of the College of
Business Administration, lias received
a unique pamphlet entitled "A Theory
of Competition Mutualism." Com
mentatlng on the flood of war-time
and post war pamphlets the author
states that there are but two worth
considering, each having but a single
word for title: "Freedom." the one,
and "Mutualism," the other. "Mutual
ism" Is certainly an arresting word,
he said, if only because it challenges
speculation as to the sense in which
It is to be used. A correspondence
with the author furnished one more
proof of that touch of romance which
seems Inseperable from the birth of
great Inventions and large Ideas, it
slates.
Mutualism seems to be a system of
politico-economic philosophy which '
being propounded In this timely era
when there is a wide-spread groping
for a method of financial reform such
as will solve the difficulties of a re
turn to peace. Each nation, it is
cliamed. Is becoming djmly conscious
that the necessities of the case call
for "an entirely new departure in
social reconstruction."
ANOTHER TRYOUT
FOR JUNIOR PLAY
Due to the small number of people
who tried out Saturday night for the
junior play there will be another
tryout Thursday night. April 14, In
the Dramatic Club room of the
Temple. The play committee urges
11 juniors to register at Student Ac
tivities office for these tryouts that
the success of the play may be
assured
"The Invader," selected for pre
sentation by the junior class is a
story of the New York business world.
It tflls of a man who could not be
whipped either by Nthe untrammeled
west or by the keenest business minds
of the east
I The type of play offers contrast tc
j the other plays presented by Iniver-
sity organizations this year.

A survey w:. rr.'tde in the Clinton
schools : nu fourteen pupils were
found who w to at least ten per cent
under weight. D:. Kathrine Wolf aided
Professor Stewart in this survey. Pro
fisscr Stewart states that "The cause
for these children not bein;i normal
in weight i3 t i ttat they come from
P or limit'? and suffer mal-uut,-:tior,
but they result for the most part to
several other causes, chief anions
wiuOi are too much activity, to ciuca
candy, too hard work, infected tonsils
f.nd adenoids, nervousness and other
pl ysiid' defects."
A special class in dietetics made up
of heme economics girls from the Col
