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,

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.

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

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

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. This season seats do
not have to be reserved until the
week before the performance and

they desire to take someone with

Al Ag Convocation . . .
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." Mrs. Rennicker told how the
same trend in price patterns as
was seen in the last war has been

Membert Penalized.
The judiciary committee sub

members absent from regular

motion was carried, but a recom

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.
