XHRLISTED
noxHH Pnrter Writes That Sta
tions Must Be Closed and
Asks Schols For Help.
In response to the following tel3
gmm from David Porter,, a member
of the Student Relief committee,
funds for student relief," Dr. Molt has
cabled that relief stations must be
closed. Can't Nebraska University do
something. In answer to the responsi
bility that has been felt for some
time, the Chi Omega sorority has vol
untarily dispensed with their annual
Christmas party and pledged that
money to the Student Relief Fund. ,
They will thus help avert tne iraa?
gy that would result if this work was
ended.
The Mortarboard took definite ac
tion at their meeting last week and
appointed Katheiine Brenke as the
girl representative to head the Uni
versity committee on student relief.
Tho Knmnean student relief fund
originated as a result of an investiga
tion mae by the World Christian
FVdoration and The American Relief
Administration. The hope of these or
ganizations i9 to relieve the pressing
need3 of the students and professors
of central and eastern Europe. The re
lief schpme has been carried out as
far as possible on a sound economic
basis and self-help has been encour
aged in every possible way. Sixty
per cent of the European students arf
working. This means that pracicall..
every available job has been taken
Living expenses are so high that stud
ents often have to work a week for
enough money to buy a square meal.
The essentials of living are lacking.
Students are trying to live on two
meals a day, one of which consists of
a loaf of black bread. They are- trying
to keep warm with their clothing in
rags. Many men are wearing their old
army uniforms, now badly worn aft
er several years of service. Others
wear thin overcoats buttoned tight to
conceal the absence of shirt or under
wear. Two authentic cases are known
of two students who had gone to bed
from hunger and exhaustion, only to
be found dead some days later. One
cannot forget the girl student with
open sores on her hands, who when
asked if she had received medical at
tention admitted that she would have
to choose between that and a meal,
and that gnawing hunger had com
pelled her to choose a meal.
In Europe, as in America, there is
an unprecedented interest in higher
education. Universities are crowded
to their capacity. There are more than
90,000 students enrolled in universit
ies where this relief is being given.
Xaturally the question will come to
the minds of everyone as to whethv-r
outside help will not encourage unfit
individuals to remain in college, and
whether or not Europe needs so many
students. The people in charge are
quite aware of this possibility and are
avoiding it by confining their relief
'to the upper division classes except
in cases of special merit among first
and second year students. In answer
to the latter question raised, bpec'a!
attention is given to all departments
having more utility with reference to
the reconstruction work in Europe,
that is, engineering and medicine. Re
lief has been, mostly in the form of
food, clothing and books and assist.
ance in meeting the eerlous housing
problem.
It la a general Impression that the
students of America are taking the
matter more seriously this year than
last and In a great many places they
are considering it a matter of course
to contributes Among contributions
listed is one that is worthy of special
mention, Doane College, Crete, Nebr,
where over $300 was rateed from the
student body of about one hundred
and eighty. It Is left entirely with
the students In the University of Ne
braska who would be unwilling to
make some sacrifice if he could only
understand the great need.

WHAT IS THIS GREAT
"NO-PROFIT SALE"
AT MAYER BROS.?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
DO YOU BELIEVE IT?
That's just what folks are asking each other and if
they have been here, they not only believe in it but
know what it means!
And we inaugurated this "No Profit Sale" for the
purpose of stimulating business and meeting a de
mand for still lower prices and we are sacrificing
our profits to do it.
For example: t
Bring $8.00 here and get
$10.00 worth of goods
Yes, and even more be honest with yourself, if you
are about to buy, say twenty dollars worth of goods,
holiday goods or otherwise, and honestly knew you
could buy it at Mayer Bros. Co., for sixteen dollars, or
less, you would buy here, of course. That is the situa
tion here.
,We want to
emphasize that we are
sacrificing our
profits
We are offering our entire stocks at a discount of 20
per cent and up to 33 per cent with the average at
20 per cent, (a few contract lines ex-cepted), and just
before the busy holidays too! Just when goods should
sell at regular prices. True, it's an expensive proposi
tion, but we are backfng this snip with the goods.
And the idea is worth more to this store and to our
future business than mere money.
MAYER BROS. CO.

s To Continue
Yielding to public demand and a desire up
on our part to further reduce our immense
stocks of merchandise, we have decided on
a continuation of this sale, keeping in effect
until further notice the
DISCOUNT of
to
ON EVERYTHING
OUR ENTIRE STORE
m
To fully appreciate the significance of this undertaking
and what it means to our customers and ourselves one must
take into consideration these facts
That our present regular low prices are as much
as 50 per cent lower than a year ago.
That the sale covers everything in the store
with a few "contract" lines of necessity ex
cepted. That the discounts in this sale are'deducted from
our regular low price at the time of the pur
chase. That the sale comes at a nost opportune time,
n this sale, every Christmas shopper can save ACTUALLY
SAVE at least twenty cents on every dollar's worth of goods
Durchased here.
This is indeed "Christmas cheer news." Early shoppers will
lave the advantage of choice selection. ' -
