BAND RECEIVES GIFT FROM K.C. MERCHANT
Robert L. Mehorney Sends $4 for Fund to Send Band to Army
E. C. Hardy, once a member of the University R. O. T. C. band back in the time when Lieutenant John J. Pershing was commandant here, has just received a letter and four dollars from Robert L. Mehorney, prominent merchant of Kansas City, Missouri, to place in the band fund.
Mr. Mehorney was very much interested in the band and football team when he was here to see the Husker-Tiger clash Saturday. Though disappointed in the out come of the game, he wished to help the band to go to West Point. He said in part: “More power to your team and more power to your band, and may this little token of appreciation help them both with the Army.”
This help from an outsider shows that the band is appreciated and that this section of the country is interested in seeing the band go to West Point.
