NEBRASKA UNIVERSITY AND THE WAR
Ot ill- class of almost ZvO senior students at McGill university,
r.i.ada. all hv.i ten have gone to the tr.whes in Europe. Many
i.i ;luni. it is said, are .lead.
Oxford and Cambridge universities of England have been prac
tically .leVTpulate.l by the war. both students and professors serving
with distincuished valor on the field of battle.
Kremh and German. Russian and Austrian universities have
given up their Mudenls to battle.
American college men in the east, where the seriousness of
f.u war that is upon us is appreciated more, perhaps, than it is
in the middle west, are enlisting for service. Many former Ne
braska TniveVsity students are among those who have given them
selves for their country.
The path of duty for Nebraska University has been pointed
nut hv Chancellor Avery, and his statement is found in another
column in this paper. As a patriotic American institution, the
University must realize the significance of this war. must appreciate
that America has entered a conflict where half-hearted measures
are of no avail .where every ounce of vnergy must be bent to
ward brincing the war to a successful issue.
For the young women students of the University, this will
mean more earnest preparation in the work that has been started
of such organization's as the Woman's Naval Reserve league. The
worn. students will prepare themselves to be useful, both tor
tie hopital work, and for the work, just as practical and service
). of replacing the men who go into the army.
That the young men students of this University will be no less
patriotic than those of Canada, the European nations, or the eastern
colleges, goes without saying. Scores of them have already pre
pared their applications for places in the reserve officers training
corps, and will fit themselves to command the men that will make
up the army of the United States. Nebraka University men will
not wait for the draft.
Those, who. because of physical condition, or other reasons
cannot go into the army, will sacrifice in some other way. and be
just as helpful a those who terom- soldiers.
There will b students and members of ihe faculty who will
oppos" great war preparations, who will block, as best they can.
the carryir.e on of the war by the Unfed States. Tneif sincerity
will be questioned no more than was questioned the sincerity of
those colonists who opposed the efforts of Washington; no more
that the sincerity of Horace Grt-eley in opposing President Lincoln.
Hut it is to be regretted that there will be those who can see
in this great war no more than servi bending to "moneyed in-ipp-ms,"
who believe that the preservation of a life is better than
the giving it up for a cause, for an ideal.
'THE WAR DEMANDS SACRIFICE"
'War demands sacrifices In personal matter. Patriotism should
show itself, not in abuse of the enemies abroad or even their sup
posed representatives at home, but in a willingness to endure priva
tion to suffer hardship, to cut out expensive frivolities, to eat
fewer luxuries, to wear plainer and cheaper clothing, to work longer
hours, and to render any thoroughly useful service whenever there
is a useful opportunity, whether it is agreeable or not." Chancellor
Avery.
In Chancellor Avery's words is a practical suggestion as to
im mediate help the sMiderts can give the war cause. When a great
l;ojie t in a strutgl" such as this, it little becomes a student
bcxly u, continue its own car.e.-s l.;e, as if no rreat events ere
st in ,' g.
In many unh ctmi ;-s of the courrry ail intercollegiate athletic
relations ae been cancelled, ar.d all social affairs have been
postponed indffinitely. The Nebraskan believes that Nebraska Uni
versity should preserve its interco!l ciate relations as much as
possible, yet it would be a fine thing for the student? to forego
many social affairs that have been planned, and to give up some
of the "frivolities" that have formed a part of the coilege life.
This K in :i larce way. a question for the fraternities and
(' it jeK to lac e, and to do' ide wheihe; their parties, or any but
iiir big- parlies, are worn while now. It is a question call.ng for
lb- earnest consideration of the Hud'-V- in the classes, whether
spring hops should be held. It is a q'i- non to be faced by the
h idem who may have planned suhwr:pt ion dames, whether ft
would not now be a good thing to g ve u. those plans. It is a
question for every student, whether he cannot, by personal sacri
fices, fchow his real patriotism.
THE VALUE OF UNIVERSITY WEEK
In one of the towns where the University Week shows were
given this year, a woman objected to letting any of the visitors
elay at her house. After sne hacl consented to give room to two
of the band members, and had become acquainted with them, she
asked for two more, because ihe liked thrii so well.
Therein is the value of University Week To show th people
of the state that Nebraska University produces men and women
worth knowing, good men and women, is to bring only the best
1o the University. This little incident among many that could
be given shows that the students who made the trip were fitting
representatives of the University.
Jarge crowds attended every performance, and the trip was
a success financially. University Week is one of tb bet things
that has happened to the University and the state.

Chancellor Writes Secretary Baker
. That They Will Be Placed at
Federal Disposal
The mechanical engineering labora
tories of the University, with their
foundry, forge and machinery, were

Chancellor Avery, acting upon au
thority from the board of regents,
April 3. The offer was made in a
letter to Secretary of War Baker,

Cadets Discuss Enlistment
War with Germany into which the
United States has entered since the
the University closed classes for the
spring holidays, and the resulting
impending legislation by the govern
ment to raise a large and efficient
American army added interest in the
drills, maneuvers and inspections of
the cadet regiment Tuesday after

tion from 2 to 6 p. m. The prelimi
nary inspections are preparing the
companies for the annual government
inspection Thursday- afternoon by

for the men as a result of the en
trance of this nation into the world
war. In large and srqall groups, the
cadets discussed the possibility " of
large numbers of University men of
the country being called to the colors
within a few months. Men of the
cadet regiment are not now subject
to call before any other male stu
dents or citizens of this age. The
war has, however, caused more
cadets to consider applying for ex
aminations for enlistment in the of
fficers' reserve corps.
The First battalion was drilled in
rifle "xerciseg and other work on the
athletic field Tuesday; the Second
was drilled on the canuu. north of
