STUDENTS SLOW IN
5 MAKING PAYMENTS
Today is he last day on wh5ch
VdnvU students, subscribers to
memorial stadium, may pay their
.... instilments on their pledges
at the booth on the corner of Twelfth
and R streets. After this evening,
"ndents will be required to make
iheir pavmcnts at the office of the
memorial association, 106 Law bu.ld-i-tbe
booth, which has been open
all this week for the convenience of
students, will close.
Cards wefe mailed from the office
of the memorial association Monday
morning to all students of the Uni
versity who have not yet paid their
stadium pledges. The cards reininuwl
the students that the stadium pledges
a due, and asked that they pay
their obligation at the stadium booth
before Tuesday evening.
Pledges Due October 24.
The stadium pledges were payable
October 24. In spite of the fact
that the booth has been open thru
cut the week and that numerous re
minders in the form of sigis around
the campus have been placed before
the students, many subscribers have
yet to clear up their pledges.
Progress of the campaign to col
lect stadium pledges has not been
satisfactory to date, stadium offi
cials have been frank to admit. Stu
dents seeHiingly fail to realize that
they are obligated to n-eet their
pledges now. The pledges consti
tute promisorry notes ar.d are pay
able on six months after date of let
ting the contract for stadium.
That contract was let last April 24,
and now the stadium pledges are due.
Students must make these payments
BO.
Booth for Stadeats.
The Nebraska Memorial Associa
tion has used the booth at the corner
cf Twelfth and R streets for the
convenience of the students. It was
believed that students would prefer
to stop at the booth tc pay their
pledges than to be required to -walk
over to the Law building to met
their obligations.
"We have used the stadium booth
on the corner as a convenience to the
students. It has required that the
J&emorial association take at least
ne person out of the office at all
hours of the day in order that he be
at the booth lo take the pledges when
tie students wished to pay them. As
result, wo?k in the memorial office
has become heavier than it would
otherwise have been. It was not for
ur convenience, rather it was at
our inconvenience, and for the con
venience of the students that the
booth wa, run," the head of the as
sociation Kay.
Students should make their rta
d um pledge payments today in the
booth. Tomorrow the booth will be
fone, and payments will have to be
made in J 06 Law building.

Need Women for
Guardian Positions
"If University girls would accept
the responsibility of being Camp
Fire guardians, the enrollment of
Lincoln Camp Fire girls could be
doubled," Miss Lola Duncan, Lin
coln Camp Fire executive, said in an
interview Monday afternoon. "The
great advantage .in giving each girl
a chance to be in a Camp Fire lies
in the fact "that so many children do
not have such advantages in the
home." Any girls who wish to be
guardians see Miss Lola Duncan, Fra

BUREAU FINDS WORK
FOR MANY STUDENTS
Y. M. Places 225 Men in Posi
tions During Month, of
September.
The Y. M. C. A. Employment Bu
reau, in charge of Bennett S. Mar
tin, employment secretary for the
Y.M.C.A., has been busy during the
past two months securing work for
University students.
During the month of September
440 students made application to the
bureau for work, and 225 were given
positions through the efforts of the
bureau. The approximate earnings
of the students during the month is
$3,500.
Most of the work secured for stu
dents by the bureau is for board and
room, only. Very few jobs were se
cured this month in clerical or sten
ographical lines. The bureau re
ceives several part-time jobs every
day, and is placing students as fast
as the places are found. Several jobs
are now open in the selling field on
the commission basis.
The bureau co-operates with the
employment committee of the Lin
coln Lions club. Early this fall the
Lions club made a drive in Lincoln
to secure positions for students who
are in need of work. These positions
are now being filled by the Y. M. C.
A. employment bureau.

Thru the consent of the Nebraska
Alumni Association, which is in
charge of the great Nebraska Me
morial rtadium, every freshman in
gchool will be given an opportunity
to subscribe to the new stadium, and
thus to have an active part in the
building and perpetuating of Ne
braska's greatest tradition, the Me
morial stadium.
Perhaps the freshman, after view
ing the stadium for the first time, or
gtter watching the grid teams battle

STUDENT RELIEF
WORKER TO VISIT I
NEBRASKA ONI
Conrad Hoffman Will Come to
University Monday Before
Thanksgiving.
TO TELL OF CONDITIONS
IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Conrad Hoffman, prominent" in
student relief work, will visit Ne
braska campus the Monday before
Thanksgiving. He comes to discuss
the European situation with Ne
braska students.
His first practical contact with
European conditions was in the Ger
man prison camps where he worked
among the allied prisoners. It was
here that he organized the educa
tional classes which proved a relief
to prisoners. His work in the prison
camps began in 1914. It was con
ducted in such a manner that the
German government did not ask him
to leave even after America entered
the war.
At the close of the war, he di
rected his efforts to relieve the suf
fering among the European students.
He is now head of the European stu
dent relief work. He has been dec
orated by every European govern
ment. Every continental student is
as familiar with the name Hoffman
as every Belgium child is with the
name Hoover.
Mr. Hoffman has been allowed a
six weeks' leave to visit America.
Part of his time he must devote to
his busniess, the student friendship
fund, but the rest of his time, he
is devoting to the discussion of
European conditions.
Mr. Hoffman is a native Kansan
and a graduate of Kansas University.
Later he was Y. M. C. A. secretary
there. In 1914, at the beginning of
the war, he offered his services, and
because of his ability to speak Ger
man he was given this work in tl e
German prison camps.
Y. W. Gives Programs

Cream the Alumni association de-
cided to set aside 1,127 units of $25
each for the freshmen class.
The class of 1927 is fortunate in i
this matter, however, for the alumni
association announces that the priv
ilege of helping in the building of
the great structure will not be given
to any freshmen class in the futare.
Provision has been made so that
many new students at Nebraska may
also have a part in the establishment
of the tradition of the-new stadium.
The new student will be given the
same opportunity as the freshmen to
have a part in Nebraska's greatest
accomplishment.
The whole, proposition is now in the
hands of the freshmen class. The In
nocents and other societies have col
laborated with the Alumni associa
tion in working out the plan whereby
the freshmen will have this goldc-r
opportunity. Everything has been
done to enable the yearlings to have
a vital part in the construct:on of
the athletic field, and it is now up
to the freshmen.
Will the freshmen take advantage
of this opportunity, and shov Mi

that they too are Cornhuskers, loyal
wearer of the Scarlet and Cream?
Freshmen Week is the time to do it!

TO STAGE UNIVERSITY
NIGHT IN AUDITORIUM
Hope to Accommodate
Who Wish to See
Skit-night.
All
The city auditorium has been
selected for the production el the
1924 University night, according to
an announcement made yesterday by
Welch Pogue, general chairman of
the Y. M. C. A. committee in charge
of the traditional skit night.
"The auditorium is large enough
to accommodate everyone who cares
to be present at the University of
Nebraka's annual night of fun,"
Mr. Pogue declared. "The accoustic
properties of the structure are ex
cellent, but improve when the build
ing is filled with people. Judging
from the audiences of last year when
the show was produced simultaneous
ly at the Orpheum and the Temple
theaters, it is more than likely that
ideal accoustic conditions will be at
tained in the auditorium."
Skits illustrating many phases of j
campus lifend "teke-offs" on both
students and faculty members form
the program for University night,
one of the oldest annual events for
everyone connected with the Univer
sity. TO DISCUSS KLAN AT

WORK AMONG CHINESE
University Organization Con
ducts Schools for Oriental
Women
Missionary activities of the Uni
versity Y. W. C. A. center about the
promotion of recreation, health and
sanitati in China. The work for
the Urn . ;-rsity is carried on by Miss
Vera Barger, and her helpers who are
located at Fuchow, China.
Miss Barger was graduated from
the University in 19 11, -after special
izing in physical education. During
the World War she was at Camp
Funston as recreational director, and
since that time she has been in China,
where she is principal of the Y. W.
C. A. normal school for physical edu
cation. Before the establishment of
this school, there was no place in
China where women could get phys
ical education. Now there ae a few
other schools which have been started
I by women who have graduated from
Miss Barger's school.
i Each rar the women of lhe Urni"
jversity raise funds to support Miss
Barger in her work among the Chin-
es women.
The money is given as a
memorial to Miss Grace Coppock, an
other Nebraska graduate who was
one of the national executives of "the
Y. W. C. A. in China. Miss Coppock
helped in the building up of the Y.W.

for physical education
