Reasons for Lack of Interest
There are a number of reasons to explain why students did not participate in the Red Cross camp last year. The Red Cross campaign followed close on the heels of the Y. M. C. A. drive and in addition, many of the students are saving to attend school. Another reason is that Still another, the most important one, is that a large number of the students and the faculty have subscribed to the Red Cross during the Red Cross campaign carried on down town.

War Time Tension Prevails in City; Hotels Packed With Frightened People
War time tension returned to Omaha this week, but few days after the tenth anniversary of the armistice, a group of soldiers skipped all households to arm against the supposed militant who had committé three ourdoor attacks in the city.
Even hardened men were frightened and downtown hotels were crowded with residents of outlying homes, seeking to avoid danger of the ax-ysher, who had already killed three people and possibly fatal injury a fourth.
Weapons unused for years were oiled up, windows and doors were barred that alld had almost rusted until they were replaced. They had not been for several years.
The first break in the suspense came Wednesday evening, when word came that a man caught in Chicago after a similar unsuccessful attack, was believed to be the man. Detectives were able to find him, but his description, varied somewhat from that given by surviving victims.
Trick of fate marred the situation Next door to one house lived five people whose home is a force whose home is said to be almost entirely an arrogance. The home was destroyed.
In another case as a man oilied a gun for protection, it was discharged, wounding him seriously. A poisonous acid was used in first aid. A baby reached the prison, and when the door arrived the baby was the harder to open.

Rags and Tatters Will Rule Campus As Hoboes Gather
He Who Fails to Appear in Garb Will Suffer From Treatment of Multitude
"Put on your old clothes and yell like hell!" was the advice offered by the traditions committee of the student council in reference to Hobo Day, tomorrow. The members of the council, however, are urging students to wear bright colors with the instructors in maintaining some order in the classroom.
“If we are to perpetuate this custom, it will be necessary to maintain the students’ instructors will fail to meet with their classes and the practice will be discontinued.” Charles Haines, president of the institution, has urged all instructors to meet their classes and has promised that the students will cooperate with the administration.
The council believes that the spirit of Hobo Day is that which makes for a kinder society, but not one known for the enthusiastic displays which the students make, and it is that same enthusiasm which is likely to effectively effect our success in past years.
The streets have been blocked off, and students will be free to hold rally all over the campus. The council requests that the students allow students in school without fear of destruction or having the truly pulled off.
As already announced there is to be an abundance of entertainment at the big rally which will climax the events of Hobo convention. Paul Parker, head cheerleader, will chief choke for the day. His team is having the great wave of enthusiasm and cheering the many activities.
Everyone will be expected to appear as a hobo. Those failing to do so will suffer the same penalty; suffer at the hands of a multitude of hoboes who very much like company. Then too, there is to be a hobo, the best dressed hobo and hobooer.
"What! We Do?-Heat Mizzout!" is the slogan of the day which will alternate with the old refrain, "To Hell With Old Mizzot." In all, the council and the cheerleaders have planned a big day and are especially anxious the coach/cooperation both in the classroom and on the campus will be observed.
