Vol. 42, No. 19 ta3in)ti mall fa Financea To Begin With plans to contact every sophomore, junior and senior woman on the campus, the univer sity YWCA begins its annual membership campaign and finan cial drive today. The year's goal in the financial drive is set at $1,000. A YW membership ticket, formerly, has cost two dollars for the four year period, but this amount may be changed at a mass meeting to be held soon. Individual contribu tions from old members are also counted by the group. Planning to make the organiza tion as useful as possible to uni versity women during the wartime period, Helen Kelley, president of the group, asserted that "the drive will need the co-operation of all coeds to be successful because the Y is on the campus to meet the demands of all university women." Money from the ticket sale is used to purchase books, station ery, to print tickets, and to pub lish the "Tiny Y" which will be distributed to all coeds at the be ginning of the drive. Freshmen women cannot be contacted until For War Council Students Favor Stamp, Bond Selling Campaigns . . . In answer to this reporter's questions about possible War Council projects for the campus, enthuiastic students all hailed the ida of extensive war stamp and bn I selling campaigns. "Torchy" Blair, Chi O, and a Sigma Nu combined their ideas of sKnsored dances and collection of scrap materials by suggesting admission to dances be granted thru presentation of 'such scrap materials as metal, rubber, and grease and fats. Bill Dolphin, Sig Ep, advocated straight campaigning among the students for the sale of war stamps and bonds. A Enlarging upon this same idea of selling war stamps and bonds, Alan Bossemeyer, Phi Dclt, sug- V gested dances in the union with stamps and bonds as admission to the affair. Jean Larson, Alpha Chi, feels sorry for homesick and lonely soldiers, so she would like to see a group of students write to them. She too wants a drive for bonds and stamps, and another strap drive in the spring. Patty Hasselquist, Alpha Chi, had her idea all outlined and ready to present. She said, "Why not use stamp books for admis sion to dances. Require that three stamps be bought for the first dance, and at each succeeding dance war stamp books must con tain that many more stamps. Only those with the required number of stamps may be admitted to these dances, and presently a great number of students will have a full book and can get a bond." With such universal support of rship, rives Today after the six weeks period in which they are not allowed to en gage in activities. Oct. 28 will mark the end of the drive. YWCA Leaders Meet at Ellen Smith Today All YW leaders appointed to work on the Manpower Commis sion from the women organiza tions will meet this afternoon at 5:30 in Ellen Smith. Catherine Wells, student leader in charge of surgical dressings, will explain the rules and duties of all women who work in the surgical dressing department in the Telephone Building. Those groups who have not turned in the names of their leader on the Manpower Commission of the War Council should do so at once. Along irithDances a war stamp and bond drive any form of such a campaign should do a booming business. With the students still interested in scrap drives, Nebraska should stand a big chance of winning the contest between Kansas and Nebraska. And the girls apparently haven't forgotten the boys in the service, how could they with these dateless week ends. Maybe the letter writing will build up the feminine morale as well as the service morale. Ctosmet Ittub Opens Slut Entries Today ...Deadline October 19 It's Kosmet Klub time again!

Second play of the season will be "Arsenic and Old Lace" one of the most talked-about productions produced on Broadway in several years. Plot of the story concerns two sweet old ladies who run a bearding house in the basement of which they store the corpses of their murdered victims whom they kill with the same Mid-Victorian courtesy and kindness as they serve a cup of tea. Complications Appear. Complications are caused by a nephew who shares with them a mutual interest in murder but who carries out his crimes with a nasty Boris Karlof manner and another nephew who has strange moral compunctions against homicide. Student comment is very favor able concerning the new reserva tion plan for theatre goers, Joe R. Zimmerman, players director said. In years past ticket holders have had to see each production on the same night of the week in the same seat.

OPA Official Asserts Inflation Potential Threat to U. S. Safety "We can be destroyed by in flation internally as well as by bombs," asserted Mrs. Edith Ren nicker, OPA program activities director from Chicago, when she spoke before a girls' convocation at ag college yesterday. Speaking on "What we can do to prevent inflation," Mrs. Ren nicker described the methods by which we on the home front can use to prevent this economic evil. She cited the following as some of our responsibilities: to beware of the posting of ceiling prices, report merchants who neglect to do so and never to pay higher then ceiling price; to escape hoard ing by buying only what is ab solutely needed; and to take bet ter care of what we have. Largest Income. "This year will see the largest national income in our history, and this extra money must be drained off by four means: in creased taxation, purchase of war bonds, curtailment of installment and credit buying, and a ration ing program," she stated. "Other countries which have been' at war longer have taken much more drastic measures to prevent infla tion."

The judiciary committee sub mitted a recommendation that all members absent from regular meetings without sufficient excuse be removed from the Council. The motion was carried, but a recom mendation that holdover members include at least two members of the minority group in the Council was tabled at the request of Dave Marvin, barb representative, who protested that his organization had not had time to consider the proposal.
