THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, 'SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21,
Movement of Protest Against In
crease in Rent-n-Ford Rates Cains
tn Momentum Over Week-En d
Sororities Will Back Men in Fight
The movement against the use of
rent-a-Fords, instead of diminishing
over the week-end, has gained con
siderably in spirit and in number of
followers. The had weather was not
even considered, and all sorts of
methods of conveyance were pressed
into service.
The most unique vehicle noticed
was a large twenty passenger bus.
The freshmen of one fraternity rent
ed it for the evening, and called for
their dates at the various sorority
houses. Taxis were used extensive
ly also, because of the slush. Some,
who walked to the parties, decided to
ride home, while others who rode
the earlier part of the evening, trad
ed about and gave others their rides
back.
Party-Goer Enjoy "Lark"
The idea of a "lark" pervaded ev
erywhere, and those who started to
hike to their destination enjoyed the
situation more than those who owned
cars, and rode.
A chaperone at one of the parties
was so imbued with the spirit of the
occasion that he offered the use of
the vacant room in his car to trans
port two couples. Older persons in
Lincoln also showed their spirit by
donating the use of their autos. I
The "spirit" of a movement of this
sort is not one which is so concen
trated that everyone feels inspired
with the same expr si:'-e enthusiasm
as is found during football rallies.
Since the University has become
such a large institution, the students
have grown away from any such uni
fied spirit as is evident in smaller
colleges. But in such a cause as is
being furthered now there is oppor
tunity for everyone to evinc school
spirit, loyalty, and good sportsman
ship in individual determination to
adhere to the cause.
Women Join Movement
The girls, too, are realizing the
significance of the advance in rates,
and what it means financially to most
men. The following sororities are
giving unqualified support to aid in
gaining the desired end:
Alpha Chi Omega.
Alpha Phi
Alpha Xi Delta
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Delta Zeta
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi
The main difficulty in this fight
against the increase in rates, cam
pus leaders point out, will be the fact
this is necessarily a long, drawn out
process, and the novelty may soon
wear off. But those who are earnest
and sincere in their convictions will
adhere to the finish, they believe,
realizing the final good that is bound
to result.

One Night Drive To Be Held
March 4 To Make
Up Deficit
THOUSAND DOLLARS GOAL
In an attempt to make up for the
failure of the regular Y. M. C. A.
finance drive last fall, the University
T" will stage a one night campaign
Thirsday, March 4, which it expects
wiii bring in at least one thousand
dollars.
Letters to some two hundred well
known students, soliciting their aid
and explaining the situation, were
sent out yesterday by the finance
committee, composed of Gerald Dav
is, Hugh Cox and Ed Weir.
A total" of about two thousand
dollars was counted on from the stu
dent body to complete the organiza
tion's budget and that was the
amount set as the goal in the drive
last falL . Only about one half of
that sum was secured.
Start With Banquet I
The committee believes that the
thousand dollars can be raiesd in
one evening of intensive work. A
banquet will be held to start things
off, and there will be speeches by
prominent men on the campus.
A list of ten or fifteen names will
be given to each man who volunteers
to take part in the campaign and be
will be asked to see the men that
evening! Thus it is hoped to make
a thorough canvass of the greater
part of the University community in
one evening.
Graduation Speakers

SMAHA HITS HIS STRIDE
Nebraska Scoring Ace Runs Wild,
Collecting Thirty-Two Points
In the Two Games
The University of Nebraska basket
ball team broke even in two games
played Friday and Saturday nights in
the new Field House. The Missouri
cagesters won over the Huskers Fri
day evening and the following night
Nebraska handed Washington, con-
querers of Kansas and Oklahoma, a
neat trimming.
Displaying the best offense of the
season Nebraska overcame Washing
ton's first half lead and defeated the
Pioners, 26 to 20. The Huskers
trailed most of the game, but in the
dying minutes of the tilt, two baskets
by Smaha and one by Elliott clinch
ed victory for Nebraska.
For the second consecutive night
high honors go to Clark Smaha. This
sandy-haired athlete contributed
fourteen points to the Nebraska total
and played a whale of a floor game.
It was his ability to locate the basket
that kept the Huskers in the running.
Washington Started Strong
Washington, the team that has vic
tories over Kansas and Oklahoma,
started out as if they intended to
make Nebraska another of their
victims. The Pikers presented a
smooth working offense and were
able to keep a jump ahead of the
Huskers during the first half. The
period ended 12 to 10 for Washing
ton. The entire Nebraska team played
clever basketball. Lawson and
Brown worked nicely on the defense
and Brown tossed three neat field
goals. Beerkle, who was sent in to
take Elliott's place at forward, was
the pleasant surprise of the evening.
The former Omaha Central athlete
caged two baskets and was all over
the floor on both offense and de
fense. Cox opened the game by sneaking
down the side of the court and get
ting a spot shot from under the bas
ket Brown tied the count for Ne
braska with a long side shot Seago
got his first basket of the game from
the side of the court and Brown
again tied the score with a side shot
Washington Holds Lead
Winkler put Washington in the
lead with an under-the-basket toss
and Eckert made good a gift toss.
Smaha started his scoring rampage
with a long one from the center of
the court Stanford made the score
read 9 to 6 with one from beneath
the hoop. Then Smaha added a point
to the Nebraska total with a free
throw.
Nebraska tied the count at 12 all
at the opening of the second period
when Smaha sank one frcm far out
Seago dribbled past the Husker de
fense for a basket and Stanford add
ed another basket from the center of
the floor. Smaha dribbled in for a
basket and Berkle tied the count at
ixteen by making a pretty follow in
shot
The Huskers took the lead for the
first time during the game when
Beerkle caged a long one from mid
court Cox tied the score again by
going beneath the hoop for a basket
Brown dribbled down the side and
caged a neat basket Eckert repeat
