CLOTHING DRIVE YWCA members each year sponsor a clothing drive on the campus. Audrey
Flood, Ginny Koehler, Doris Carlson, Ann Jane Hall and Marilyn Vingers check the boxes. Clothes
are sent to foreign countries for distribution. In addition to the annual clothing drive YW members
attend a variety of commission groups and sponsor community service projects such as work with
Girl Scout and Campfire organizations. The annual membership drive starts this week under the'
direction of Virginia Taylor.
YWCA Commission Groups
Offer Chance for Service
Commission groups represent
ing all phases of YWCA work
are open to upperclass women
who may sign up for them at
the YW rendezvous Monday
afternoon.
As a part of the organization's
membership campaign which
opened Tuesday, the rendezvous
will be Monday from 3:30 to 5:30
p.m., at Ellen Smith hall.
All girls who are not freshmen
are urged by the president, Sue
Allen, to attend the rendezvous
where they can sign up for one
or more groups in which they
are particularily interested.
Several new sections have been
organized this year including a
special senior commission group.
Problems senior women might
encounter in making friends and
becoming acquainted in new
communities after graduation
and employment difficulties will
be dealt with in this group.
Nancy Porter, commission leader,
has planned programs which in
clude discusions about combin
ing work and marriage, ways to
meet friends in new places where
"Goal-Hi" Old
Included In Sports Program
" On Friday, Oct. 11, 1940, a new
athletic game was being intro
duced on the University campus
and also featured in The Daily
Nebraskan. Goal-Hi was the
game and Dr. Forrest C. (Phog)
Allen, basketball coach at the
University of Kansas, was the in
ventor. Charley Miller, gymnastic
director at Nebraska, introduced
the game and its popularity was
predicted to be sensational.
Now, ten years later, the game
is played as one of 20 activities
in a recreational sports program
at this University. For different
reasons the game didn't "catch
on'' with the Nebraska students.
Basketball, at this time, was tre
mendously popular, as it is now,
which may account for some of
the lack of interest in Goal-Hi.
However, on certain playgrounds,
schools, and campuses throughout
the country it is considered a
popular game and is often played.
The selling points of the game
were that is takes less playing
spaca than basketball, it can be
played in or out-of-doors, and
that it takes less energy than
many other sports. Three Goal-Hi
courts can be set up in the space
that is required for one basket

Community Service.
One group which claims much
popularity is community service.
Students on this have a two fold
opportunity, points out Beth
Wilkens, leader. Members have
chances to go out and actually
work with community organi
zations such as Girl Scouts,
Bluebirds and other similar pro
jects. In addition to this, students
receive training about how to
help in children's projects.
During the year an authority
in social work will speak to the
group. The speaker will include
information on just what to do
when some problem arises. A
course is also included which in
forms students how to teach
children craft work.
In addition to these groups,
the YW offers various other
groups. Leaders and the groups
are as follows:
Knitting and discussion, Chloe
A. Caler and Shirley Coy; pub
licity, Lola Banghart; beliefs on
trial, Audrey Flood; comparative
Campus Game,
employ a ten foot radius). The
inner circle is always half of the
radius of the outside circle.
In the center of this circle is
the basket mounted on a ten
foot pole. The odd thing about
this basket is that it has no bang
boards. When the ball falls thru
the hoop, it comes down to a
three way conical projector which
deploys the ball out one of the
three outlets.
Center Basket
These gates are so constructed
to prevent a ball being shot up
thru them instead of coming
down thru the hoop. With the
basket in the center of the court,
continuity of play is high because
of missed shots falling most of
the time within 'the playing
surface.
Goal-Hi is a game for all ages.
Regular basketball rules apply as
in the instances oi fouls, driDDies,
and other such characteristics of
the regulation cage sport.
A goal from the outer counts
3 points and one from the inner
circle is 2 points. A free throw
is shot from the foul line or the
inner circle line. The gratis toss
is good for one counter.
Nebraskans were planning on
playing according to the above
rules and on the basis of the fol
lowing time limits: The game was
to consist of four quarters of
seven and half minutes each in
length. In between each period,
would be a two minute rest. The
half was ten minutes long.
Miller, gymnastic director, as
sures students that the game is
still available to be played on the
University campus. Whether or
not Goal-Hi "caught on" here, it
might still be good for an occa
sional sports relaxation.

YW Creed
Only national qualification for
YW membership imposed upon
the University YW is that the
individual believe in the creed
of the YW. Miss Allen says this
means that the individual stu
dent must be interested herself
in finding out what her religious
beliefs are. The YW creed is:
"We, the members of the
Young Women's Christian
Association of the University of
Nebraska, unite in a desire to
realize a full and creative life
through a growing knowledge of
God.
"We determine to have a part
in making this life possible for
all people.
"In this task we seek to under
stand Jesus and follow him."
Other YW officers are: Kathie
Schreiber, vice president; Alice
Jo Smith, secretary; Janet Zlom
ke, treasurer; Mary Hubka, dist
rict representative; and Ruth
Shinn, executive director.

SHORT CUTS around, throjigh, and about the campus or how
to find your way to the outer extremities, of the University of Ne
braska campus without stumbling into some unlabeled building.
This plan is for the benefit of all those bewildered individuals who
have not yet been able to find their classes. This blue-print can
easily be cut out and carried in the best available position; prefer
ably in front of your eyes. May we also suggest that the person
who left their glasses at the Military and Naval Science Building
during registration collect them before embarking on the daily
round of classes.

Lilies, Gripes
About Colleire
Since freshmen compose a
great portion of the University
population, The Daily Nebraskan
asked a cross section of .them
the question: "What do you
think of the University and what
are some of your pet gripes?"
Answers received included the
following:
Bill Cozier: "Some schools
have better teachers, some
schools have better students,
some schools have a prettier
campus, but there is no place
like Nebraska. My biggest gripe
is that the grading system is too
low!"
Phyllis Chubbuck: "Except for
a small complaint about the reg
istration system I like every bit
of it; the parties, the pledge
duties, classes and even the
studying."
Don Blocker: "I have no state
ment to make as to what I think
of the University. However
there's too much work for
freshmen and all the older,
good-looking girls are already
pinned."
Betty Swanson: "College life is
already proving to be interesting
but I have to put in a com
plaint about the closing hours at
the dorm."
Bud Wiederspan: "The first
day was a big surprise home
work! I also like the 'colorful'
cap issued and think its very
nice that the upper classmen
can recognize the freshmen and
help them find their way
around."
Penny Reece: "I don't know
haven't been here long enough
to know. But I do know that
there's too much studying."
Bob Barrett: It's keen neat, I
love these 8 a.m. classes."
Wes Fulner: "The beanies ruin
my looks. What a surprise when
the law was laid down."
Charlie May: "I like it; meet
lots of people everywhere.
There's always something going
on. I have no gripes at present"
