Captain Oury and thirty members of the company enlisted In the First Na tional Volunteers regiment- Oury was made captain of a company in the regiment, and the thirty Persh ing Riflemen were placed in his company. This company proved to be one of the most outstanding companies in the entire regiment, and every one of the Pershing Rif lemen received some honor before the war was over. One of the most exciting phases of Pershing Rifles activities in those days was the election of the captain of the company, according to Colonel Oury. The year of his election there was a great political fight, and practically the whole campus became Interested In the affair. At that time the ' organization was not a group of basic course students.

Black and light green drapes from which were suspended sten ciled placards bearing the names of the fraternal groups on the campus, were hung on the walls. The motif was modernistic in de sign. Two modernistic weeping willow trees were placed at each side of the room. The wall hang ings were stepped up in strips to the center where the center piece in the form of a modernistic tree was placed.

At the time of elections of of ficers, some difficulty always arose as to the eligibility of voters, but fraternity politics had nothing to do with the choice of officers or members, Colonel Oury said. John J. Pershing, who was com mandant at the university then, was the founder of the organiza tion. In 1805, the company which had been established as company A took the name of Varsity Rifles. When Pershing left the university in 1894, the name of the organiza tion was changed to Pershing Rifles. Pershing introduced the uni forms which were worn by mem bers of the regiment and later of the Pershinr Rifles. These uni forms consisted of blue coats and white duck trousers. The Pershlnj Rifles group adopted the white ducks in the spring of 1898. At that time, one of the out standing social affairs of the cam pus was the annual Pershing Rifles dance.

The association is not planning! to build in the immediate future but is now buying a lot on lath between R and S located midway between tho Phi Mu and Alpha Phi houses, which will sometime be opened thru. The present chap ter house Is located at 1515 L St I; 10 Literary Magazine Publishes Stories and Articles by Nebraskans. TO APPEAR NEXT WEEK The next issue of the Prairie Schooner, university literary mag azine, will be published for circu lation in about a week, according to Dr. L. C. Wimberly, editor. This number of the Schooner carries a particularly large number-of arti cles and stories by Nebraskans or former Nebraskans and university students. The university students who will have articles published ra this edi tion of the Prairie Schooner are as follows: E. N. Fichter, jr., who offers "Hill Boy"; Loren Eiseley, who has a strong possibility of becoming a popular American poet. Dr. Wim berly says; Margaret canneii, wno will have "A Plea for the Untar nished Lady"; and Mart Sandoz, who discusses "Folks-Say" in the magazine. Miss Sandoz also has two books in manuscript, one a novel based on a Polish settlement in Nebraska, the other a biograph ical study of certain pioneers of the sand hills country. Other present Nebraska contrib utors are: Paul Robert Beauth, of Gothenburg, who offers a section of his "Feboldiad"; William F. Thompson, professor of English at the University of Nebraska, who contributes "Dog in the Manger," a column which allows Mr. Thomp son to use bis imagination freely and to express his opinions with out reserve; Gilbert H. Doane, pro fessor of bibliography in the uni versity, who offers "Bibjiana"; Helen Magaret of Omaha, who presents a poem; and Emma Mc Rae of Omaha, who writes "Rec ord of Sales." "Bill" Thompson's article, "Dog in the Manger," is both instruct ing as well as amusing. Here is a paragraph as an excerpt: "With the advent of prohibition, however, an astounding change took place. . . delirious voyag ers found themselves in the posi tions of blind fish being caressed by a pile driver, without even a lavender wart-hog to brighten their fleeting passage." " . . .It soon transpired that tbe phlegmatic citizens were hard pressed for topics of conversation. To them a moving van was simply a conveyance, not a ring-tailed dragon with salmon colored whis kers. Similarly, a garden hose was merely a useful appliance and not a wine colored angleworm in a green bathing suit." Janet Piper, author in this num ber of the Prairie Schooner of "Three Poems," was a former stu dent of the University of Nebraska and now lives in Iowa City, la. Libbie Breuer Scbolten of Gilroy, Calif., translates from the Czech a poem by Julius Zeyer. She for merly lived in Lincoln and did postgraduate work at the Univer sity of Nebraska. Virginia Moore, former Nebraskan, who now lives in Cliffside, Scottsville, Va., con tributes poetry. Coeds Display Interest in Physical tducation Department; Bowling Is Popular; Nebraska Ball Intrigues By RUTH SCHILL. A "sport hobby" is the ambition of most of Nebraska's1 coeds who find themselves surrounded by a wide and varied program from which to make their choice. The intramural pro grain, with its iiddcd interest of intersorority competition, is attracting a greater number of girls every year. Like a huo snowball this activily gets larger and larger, but it is effi ciently nanoied Dy tne pnysicaio education department. Coed appreciation of the new swimming pool is indicated by the registration figures from the de partment of physical education. The number signing for this ac tivity tops the list with a total of 254. Individual gymnastics poles the next heaviest registration with 219 girls. Dancing comes third; clogging, fourth; and volley ball is fifth in line. Registration fig ures are not complete, however, as about 150 girls had registered late and no count was made of their preference. Besides regular class work in physical training the department offers opportunity to all univer sity women to partake in sports of various kinds by means of tbe intramural program. Miss Mabie Lee, head of the department of physical education, stated, "While the immediate aim of our intra mural program is to furnish recrea tion for the present moment. It Is aifo our intention to so interest the girls that their participation in various sports will carry over after they have left school. With this in mind the Intramural program consists of sports that are mostly individual and require NEBRASKAN WILL HELP IN DROUTH RELIEF PROGRAM Student Daily Announces Pan for Collecting Old Clothing. WILL CANVASS HOUSES Fraternities and Sororities Asked to Cooperate in Campaign. Participation of university stu dents in the statewide program for relief of the drouth stricken area in northern Nebraska will be sponsored by the Daily Nebraskan under a plan to be put in effect this week. All organized houses will be can vassed for clothing to be sent to the needy counties thru the state organization headed by Tax Com missioner Smith. All fraternities and sororities are asked to take up the matter at their meetings Mon day night and be able to report whatever they have to contribute Tuesday. One representative in each house will be appointed by the Nebraskan to gather up the. available old clothes. These representatives will be named in Tuesday morning's paper and are asked to report to the Daily Nebraskan office at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Describes Need. According to Mr. Smith, there remains a great need, especially for food and clothing, in the stricken area. In a report to the executive committee of the chamber of com merce Saturday said that 392 car loads of feed, clothing and-food have been shipped to the counties with an average value of 5500 a car. The continued need was em phasized by Mr. Smith in pointing out that aid would have to be given until the farmers raised another crop. To date, shipments have con sisted largely of stock feed and only a small number of consign ments of food and clothing for the destitute families have been made. Great need remains, Mr. Smith says, for these. A survey, Mr. Smith said Satur day, by the American Legion early in the fall showed that 1,000 Urn'-' ilies with an average of five per sons to a family were in need of assistance. These peope will havo to be taken care of at least until another crop is harvested. Board Meets Monday. A meeting of the relief board directors has been called for Mon day. The Nebraskan's plan will be reported to them at that time. It is expected that a large quan tity of old clothing will be collected early this week, following a meet ing of the house representatives with the Daily Nebraskan Tuesday. This will be Included in the next shipment of supplies to the suffer ing countier, according to present plans.

"If wo taught only the sports that re quired a large number of par ticipants and also required expen sive equipment it is evident that these sports would not carry over," said Miss Lee. Therefore the intramural pro gram stresses such sports as bowling; archery; deck, paddle, and lawn tennis; golf; horseback riding; swimming; asd volley ball. Most of these sports can be en Joyed alone or with only two or three participants. Figures for last year show that bowling was the most popular sport, attracting 392 individuals which composed 64 teams. Ne braska ball was next with a total of 3S2 girts and 31 teams. Speed ball was third with 290 Individuals and 23 teams. Fourth place was held by paddle tennis with 259 girls and 29 teams. Girls' . base ball placed next with 244 pr tlcipants and 23 teams.
