GOLDSTEIN DELEGATE TO AMES CONVENTION The local chapter of the Cosmopol itan Club was regranted its chapter at the eighteenth annual convention of the national organization. The con vention was held in Ames, Iowa, De cember 28, 29, 30 and 31. There had been a Cosmopolitan Club at the University of Nebraska until 1910 when, because of the small number of foreign students the club was allowed to die out and the charter was withdrawn. In 1923 the present local chapter was organized. Fred E. Goldstein, '25, Lincoln, presi dent of the club was sent to the con vention to regain the charter for the Nebraska organization. ' Within the convention several east ern schools were in favor of making the local chapter pay the back dues for thirteen years at the rate of thir ty members every year. Mr. Gold stein, aided by A. Ronald Button, ex-'2G, intercollegiate debater in 1923 against Iowa; who represented Stanford University at the confer ence, worked for and succeede 1 in regaining the charter after paying the back dues at the rate of an av erage of ten members per year. The Nebraska chapter of the Cos mopolitan Club was founded in 1923 and has a present membership of " sixty, consisting of representatives from twenty difefrent nationalities. The membership of the club is fifty per cent foreign and fifty per cent American .The club has adopted the motto of the national organization, "Above all nations is humanity." Last year the club presented the International University Night, and intends to present this again in April. Other plans of the organization in clude the establishment of a house on a strict fraternity basis and the first action of the new year is toward procuring a suitable house. Kansas chapter is the only chapter in the Missouri Valley at the present time that has a house for members.

TWO MAINTAIN CLEAN SLATES Nebraska and Kansas Remain Undefeated in Valley Basketball Conflicts. DRAKE GAME IS NEXT ON CORNHUSKER CARD When the wild din from Valley conflicts had died away Saturday night for a shoit week at least Ne braska and Kansas were the only quintets to emerge with clean slates. The Cornhuskers left a bewildered Oklahoma team in Norman after stowing away the Kansas Aggies on Friday night. Kansas won its three games with the Iowa teams of the conference. Missouri ranks third with a stand ing of sixty-six per cent. The Tigers lost to Grinnell in the last forty-five seconds of play Saturday and thus put themselves out of the Nebraska and Kansas class for the present. Grinnell, with a half-and-half record comes fourth, having lost to the Jayhawkers and won from Missouri. The Valley teams will start on the second lap of the journey early this week. The Kansas Aggie five will meet Kansas at Lawrence tomorrow and all of the teams in the confer ence will have a game this week end. It will be the first chance to observe the behavior of the Washington Uni versity team' which' meets Oklahoma at St. Louis Friday. Just how the cagers will stack up after this week is not hard to tell, if dope means anything. Nebraska should defeat Drake easily. The Bulldogs have been defeated four times this season, at the hands of the Hillyards, Creighton, Kansas and Missouri. The Cornhuskers should retain their 100 per cent standing. Kansas will also probably have little trouble in defeating their an cient rivals, Kansas Aggies. Grin nell should win from Drake also, but difficulties pop up in doping the two Oklahoma games. The Sooners play Washington Friday and Missouri Saturday. The Pikers have as yet not been in action, so it is unwise to dope against them. The Tiger Sooners fray should be a nip-and-tuck affair, however. NORMAN, Okla., Jan. 12 (Spe cial) The Hutkers stand out as strong contenders for the confer ence title as a result of their victory over the Sooners here last week. The visitors clearly outplayed the Sooners in the first half, which end ed 11 to 5. The second period was marked by occasional spurts of either side. The Sooners opened up with a rush that added eight points while their opponents were held scoreless for several minutes. The Huskers played a strong defense during the last few minutes when an Oklahoma rally threatened. Goodson, Nebraska center, was the individual star of the game and high point man with eleven points. His towering height was used to a good advantage in snagging Sooner passes and taking the ball on the rebound. Nebraska Songs and Yells Rehearsed by Schenectady Sixteen members of the Nebraska tlnivpmitv Alumni Club at Schenee- tady, N. Y., met at dinner in the Rose Room of the Twentieth Century es taurant. After a short business meeting, tne club, rehearsed Nebraska songs and yells in preparation for intercollegi .f. irht t the Edison Club, Janu ary 31. On this evening approximate- ly fifty groups of college gruu. now in the employ of the General Electric Company, will co-operate in rendering the program to be broad cast by station WGY of the General Llsctric Company and re-broadcart by other stations throughout the country, between 7:30 wd 12:00 F. M., eastern standard time. This program will consist of ' and orchestral selections, readings, college songs and yells.

PLAN FOR SKITS FOR UNI NIGHT Committee Will Consult With Presidents of Campus Organizations. TIME LIMIT WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY Plans for the submitting of skits for University Night, to be presented Saturday night, February 28, at the Orpheum theater and the Temple, were discussed at the first meeting of the University Night Committee.

A time will soon be announced before which all skits must be submitted for judging. A small number of acts of longer duration than in previous years is planned by the committee. It has been felt that more excellent skits may be selected, and will have a high er entertaining value than if several acts with decreasingly interesting features be presented. ADDITION MADE TO ENGINEER'S LIBRARY Classes Will Use Forty New Copies of "Factory Floor Surfaces." The library of the College of En gineering has been increased by the addition of forty copies of a book entitled "Factory Floor Surfaces" for use in engineering classes.

LAW STUDENTS PAY EXPENSES Eighty-three Per Cent of En rollment Wholly or Par tially Self-supporting. WORK FROM TWO TO FOUR HOURS DAILY Statistics compiled in the College of Law show eighty-three per cent of the 1G6 students in the college either wholly or partially self-supporting. Thirty three per cent are entirely self-supporting, while fifty per cent receive about one-half their support from their parents. Nearly forty per cent of those who are wholly self-supporting are paying their expenses to a certain extent with funds accumulated before en trance in school. A small number are relying entirely upon such funds. Approximately half of them rely largely upon money earned during vacation periods and from part-time work during the school year. Thirty per cent depend almost exclusively upon work during this time, a total of one-ninth of the total enrollment in the College of Law. Some twen ty per cent are in school on borrowed money. The remunerative work engaged in by the wholly self-supporting stu dents, entirely distinct from their daily school work, averages about four hours a day, nearly half of them reporting regular work of more than twenty hours per week. Those who are partially self-supporting, one-half of the members of the college, in general receive about fifty per cent of their support from their parents. In many cases this amounts merely to room and board. Approximately one-fourth of them had in some way saved enough in advance to take care of their expen ses. About half of them earn a con siderable proportion of their spend ing money by work engaged in dur ing the school year, so that approxi mately one-third of their expenses may be accounted for in this way The remaining fourth are in school upon borrowed money, derived either from individual sources or from funds established for the purpose The borrowed money rarely exceeds one-fourth of their total expenses. The members of this division who are engaged in regular part-time remun erative work usually are so occupied two or three hours per day, but a small number working more than four hours per day. "No questions were asked concern ing the kinds of work done," stated Dean Warren A. Seavey of the Col lege of Law, in submitting his re port to Chancellor Avery. "How ever, my own information indicates that the work is of all kinds cleri cal, law office work, waiting on table, attending to furnaces, and garage work. A few are well paid. The majority work for around thirty or forty cents per hour." WOLCOTT ATTENDS SCIENCE MEETINGS Largest Biological Meetings Ever Held Convene in Washington, D. C. Dr. R. H.
