'High Jinks' Show For War Relief The Student Defense Committee with the cooperation of the Student Union will present an all-student benefit show in the Union ball room Saturday afternoon and evening. The en tire proceeds, excepting tax, wil be contributed to Red Cross War Relief Fund. When national war relief drive was start ed, the defense committee felt the students of the university had contributed enough times this year to various relief drives. The Student Council has just completed a drive for funds for the annual lied Cross contributions and went far over its goal. In preference to another house to house canvass, the defense committee is sponsoring the benefit show Saturday with the hope that every studentwill buy a ticket and come to the affair. A sell-out for both performances will be By Marsa Lee Civin. Extravagant and numerous parties at Ne braska were forbidden in 1917 by the official action of the inter-fraternity council. The number of "hall parties" was limited to two a year for fraternities, while house dances were sanctioned in moderation. Con cerning formals the council took no definite act but the consensus of the opinion was against making either of the two big parties a formal and all agreed that formal flavors in cluding flowers, favors, and other useless ex travagances should be voluntarily dropped. The rule against subscription dances which was passed in 1916 was reaffirmed by the council. Proving their willingness to cooperate to economize for the good of America's cause in the war, the Pan-hellenic council unanimously ruled that no formal parties be given this year and only one informal downtown party be given. Banquets were not abandoned and were to be given downtown as usual. Delegates at the meeting declared that coeds wil make no new party gowns for their big dance. Last year's garment renovated would serve the purpose for the ocasion. "Five hundred girls for Red Cross" was the slogan of the girls' club in their registra tion campaign. Members meet in room 202 Ne braska Hall for one hour each week to sew under the direction of the City Red Cross Asso ciation. French surgical dressings and "kits" , were made.
