A number of students in the University Tele
graph school enlisted in the service and all received
good posts in either the army or navy. All men in
the school were able to qualify as proficient tele
graph operators. Through training, those enrolled
could send and receive messages and were in
structed in the scientific principles of the telegraph.
Innocents passed a resolution urging members
of the junior class to change their decision made
earlier in 1917 to go ahead with the annual formal
prom despite sentiment in the university against
such social extravagances. Feeling against formal
parties and unnecessary social expenditures in
creased daily.

Student Activities
On The Decline
Interest in extra-curricular activities has
been on the decline for the past three years.
The number of students participating in the
activities of the various organizations on the
campus is much smaller than it was last year
r the year before.
This lack of participation can 1m seen by
looking at the roll call of the men's pep
club, Com Cobs. Each year there are sixteen
new members chosen from those working
for the club. Right now there are barely
enough workers to complete next year's mem
ber quota. Eosmet Klub, men's dramatic or
ganization, has also felt this lack of interest
in activities by students. Publications, in
cluding the Daily Nebraskan, where workers
are financially reimbursed for their efforts,
have seen the number of reporters, contribu
tors, typists, and file clerks dwindle. When
cheerleaders were chosen at the start of
school this fall, there were barely enough
students trying out to fill the "N" bedecked
jackets of last year's yell team.
This listless participation of students in
activities is an unhealthy condition. If there
are only a few workers for each organization
or publication, the stimulation derived, from
competition is absent and as a result the gen
eral effectiveness of each group is lessened.
- The Student Council has taken cogniz
ance of this fact and is initiating a program
which it hopes will educate incoming stu
dents in the values of participation in stu
dent activities. A committee has been ap
pointed to study the desirability of creating
an office to be known as the general secre
tary of student activities. An appointment to
this office will probably be made this year
and his term will continue on through next
year.
It will be his job to coordinate all the ex-tra-curicular
activities of the university so
that duplication of effort will be eliminated.
He will formulate a plan by which the incom
ing freshmen of next year will be acquainted
with the various activities in which they may
participate. As it is now, freshman and even
sophomores literally "stumble" on an activity
or are pushed into it by their fraternity, soror
ity, or etc. They have no knowledge of what
they are getting into, norhave they any idea
of what they will get out of participation in
activities.
The Student Council's proposal is a meri
.torious attempt to renovate student activities
at Nebraska and educate students to these
activities. But if the activities secretary is to
achieve any measure of success, he must be
given broad powers and should not be tied by
too many strings to the Student Council or to
any other organization or society. If such
broad powers are allocated, it will be man
datory of the Council to select as general sec
retary a student who will be a senior next
year and who is genuinely interested in stu
dent activities as a method of developing
leadership, fellowship, socialability, thought,
and mental as well as physical activity rather
than an interest of purely a selfish nature.

per last night at the home of Mrs.
W. W. Burr.

The meeting of the old and new

per, It was decided that a dessert
supper would be served this year
and the extra money put into the
treasury in keeping with every
day efforts to conserve.

I By Alan Jacobs J
"Luscious Lucius" Beebe of Broadway cafe society fame has often
been the target of verbal darts in Walter Winchell'B syndicated col
umn. Not pretending to be a Walter Winchell, we do have a Nebraska
Beebe to write about, only our story in more one of pity than of
humiliation.
Not "Luscious Lucius" but Duane Beebe is our man; not in cafe
society but in ROTC circles is our Beebe well-known. The UN Beebe
is a field artillery officer in the ROTC and a leader in Red Guidon,
artillery officers' organization.
Beebe Versus Beattie.
At the last meeting of that organization, he was nominated for
the captaincy, top position. His opponent for the position was J. G.
Beattie. Here was the situation: Duane Beebe versus J. G. Beattie.
The setting is laid.
When the two returned to the room after the election had been
completed, retiring captain, Howie Zorn of intramural football fame,
announced the winner, Beattie.
While Beattie and Zorn stood at the front of the room waiting
for the applause to subside, our UN Beebe, who had already reached
the back of the room retraced his steps and joined the two facing
the group.
B-E-A-T-T-l-E.
"Thank you very much for electing me captain," Beebe began.
"I recognize this as a great honor."
Calm, cool Zorn was the first to recover. "There's been a mis
take, Mr. Beebe. The new captain is Mr. Beattie, B-E-A-T-T-I-E."
Red Guidon officers says that Beebe's face was as red as any
guidon ever made.
Foundation

Completed yesterday was or
ganization of the newly formed
Nebraska Foundation as John J.
Douglass, general chairman, an
nounced the finance chairman and
members of the executive com

six regents districts.

vicinity; Ann Arbitman, second
district, Omaha; Ronald Metz,
third district, north-western Ne
braska; Lila Jean Howell, fourth
district, central Nebraska; Polly
Ann Petty, fifth district, southern
Nebraska; and Preston Hays,
sixth district, western Nebraska.
Two From Lincoln.
Two representatives were chosen
for the Lincoln district because
almost one-fifth of the student
body is from Lincoln, Douglas
declared.
At a meeting last night at the
Union, the Foundation committee
outlined three lines of endeavor for
the near future: (1) High school
essay competition; (2) High school
assemblies thruout state; (3) En
tertainment for high school stu
dents at state basketball tourna
ment. Money It Problem.
According to present plans, the
Foundation will give a prize to the
high school student who writes the
beat essay on "What I want of
the university in these times."
With the main problem of se
curing money to finance its cam
paign, Douglass said that the
Foundation plans to sponsor as
semblies in high schools where
representative UN students can
speak and answer questions.
When high school students come
to Lincoln next week for the high
school basketball tournament, the
Foundation hopes to have an en
tertainment program arranged for
the students. Tours and informa
tion about the university will be
made available for the visitors.
