garct S. Quayle for student aid for
the re'ugee students in Russia nda
other devastated districts, the stu
droits and faculty of Grinnell have

grown its parent organization, al
though it still remains one of the ac

the students buy tickets early so
that an estimate may be made as
to how much equipment will be
needed for the Christmas rush.
Tickets will be put on sale Mon
day morning at the local ticket
offices, and will be dated ahead.
If the students will co-operate with
the railroads In this matter, the
students will save themselves the
trouble of standing up during the
ride home for the holidays.

hundred couple. Only two hundred

Activities office in order that the
floor will not become crowded at any
time during the evening.

as yet been announced. Arrange
ments as to the opening and closing
time of the event are being made
and it is expected that important an
nouncements as to this feature will
be made, some time this week.
On account of tbe fact that the

that a few tickets will be put on sale

Chairman Eller Outlines Flans at
a Meeting of the Committee
at Ellen Smith Hall
PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED
Students and Organisations Are
Asked to Submit Skits for
Annual Funfest
In a meeting of tho ' University
Night committee at Ellen Smith hall
Friday evening, plans were discussed
for making the next University Night
the biggest and the best that has
ever appeared on the campus. Chair
man Eller outlined the program to
lie followed by the different members
of the committee.
The most important problem con
fronting the committee at this time
is to interest the various organiza
tions of the campus In the prepara
tion of skits for the program. Presi
dents of all organizations are re
attested to bring this matter np in
the not meeting. Students will be
afforded ample time during Christ
mas vacation for the preparation of
original skits. Some (organizations
are already at work on their stunt
nud the commercial club has offered
$5.00 as a prize for the best skit pro
duced by p. . member of the Bizad
Col'ege.
The committee expects to receive
l,y the 15th of January, a sufficient
number of skits to insure a rousing
program so it will be to the advantage
of each producer to have his skit in
as early as possible.
The committee is corresponding
with similar organizations in other
schools and it is expected that some
very good ideas will be obtained by
this correspondence.
The next meeting of the committee
will bo at Ellen Smith hall, Wednes
day at 5 o'clock.
Purchasing Agent Returns From
Meeting of Business
Officers
V. L. Scaton, operating superin
tendent and purchasing agent, has
just returned from Ithaca, New York,
where he attended a meeting ot the
College and University business of
ficers association. From there ho
went to Washington, D. C, to look
over the government supplies, that
are being offered for sale to t-tate-supported
institutions.
At the meeting in New York, plans
were discussed for University and col
lege finance and dormitory systems.
University finance was the biggest
and most important question raised,
the final decision being to standard
izo methods of accounting by basing
costs of operation on the basis ot the
number of students and the number
of hours that the students are car
rying. A ratio is taken between th
actual number of students enrolled
and the actual number of hours that
the students are taking. The results
are compared with those of the other
institutions in the association. It may
be that some of them will find that
plans may be remedied or modified to
enable the reduction of expenses.
Dormitory systems were discussed
and new ideas submitted by men from
tho college and Universities that have
large systems. In the east most of
the institutions are endowed and are
built in small towns so that it is
necessary to build dormitories and
make provisions for the students, ac
cording to Mr. Seaton. Consequently
the eastern colleges have the better
systems and told the state University
officials many interesting accounts of
the manner in which they were con
ducted and some of the mlnormeans
of making the systems pay. One man
told of the dormitory at his school

Dr. W. W. Stockberger, head of

States Department of Agriculture, has
written to the College of Pharmacy
to ascrctain the condition of
the drug plant garden of the Univer

plans for it. His letter states that
of the 3,10 drug plants that have
been grown in the United States, 110
have been grown at the Nebraska

vision of Miss Elsie Day, who w-as an
instructor in the College of Pharm

Several thousand Russian students
got up this morning, each one started
the day off with a cup of weak tea,
and will have nothing more until
evening, then perhaps only a boiled
potato and some soap made of har
ness, grass, bark, or straw. The situ-
tion looks hopeless to them. They
are facing a cold, hard, Russian win
ter, with sufficient clothing, no
money, perhaps with no lodging; the
only future they can hope for, if they
survive at all, is one handicapped by
several physical weaknesses.
And one hundred and fifty pennies
will save a life for a month.
The Christmas candles will go on
sale at no set price, for they are to
represent a free-will gift of students
to students. Although those young
people in war-ridden Russian cannct
live on sympathy, good will and love,
yet a gift prompted by those motives
will accomplish more than" its giver
would think.

Who Most Clearly Portray
Nebraska Spirit
A "representative set tion," to re
place the beauty section, will fea
ture the 1023 Cornhusker. Complete
plans for the selection of the students
who will bo honored by position In
this section of the big annual are an
nounced as follows hy the staff:
The section will contain the pic
tures of eight seniors four men and
four women.
Selection will bo made by the en
tire student body soon after the
Christmas holidays.
The students chosen are to be rep
resentative of true Nebraska ideals.
Consideration will be given to schol
arship, student activities including
work in athletics, on publications and
other campus activities, and social ,
activities.
The representative section is de-'
s'gned to overcome all objection
which were raised against the beauty
section of the annual last year. Only
seniors are eligible to places in the
section, as the awards will be a rec
ognition of real service to Nebraska.
During the campaign for subscrip
tions to the Cornhusker, which will
be hold in January, ballots will be
distributed to all who enter their or
ders for the year-book. This ballot
will have spaces for the names of
four men and four women.
Eight names must appear on each
ballot in order to have it count bo
that as much of 'favoritism and cam
naienine for individuals as possible
may bo eliminated. The ballots will
be numbered to correspond to the
sales slips. In this way, danger of
dunlicate voting will be eliminated.
The new plan of voting is expected
to meet with the approval of students
who are anxious to have a fair and
accurate election of eight seniors who
deserve especial recognition four
years of boosting Nebraska In tbe
right way.
The Cornhusker management has
suggested that not scholarship, not
athletics, nor social prominence- be
taken into consideration alone, but
that all of these points be taken in!3
consideration in the balloting.
No soliciting will be allowed at or
around the polls on the day ot the
choice of the eight representatives.
The management hopes to do away
with the "blind'' voting which has
sometimes characterized student elec
tions. Each vote is supposed to rep
resent the true opinion ot the voter
uninfluenced by professional cam
paigners or "favorite son" enthusi
asts. The date for the election ot the
four men n.id four women has not
been announced, as the lime for the
subscription canipigan has not been
decided. Last year the sales for the
annual were made during the week
of registration for the second se
mester. Church Observes
