THE Y. M. C. A. AT THE TRAINING CAMPS
One of the most interesting kinds of work done in the trenches
in Europe, and in the prison camps, is that of the Y. M. C. A. Headed
by John R. Mott, internationally famous, the Christian association
has come in contact with all of the men on the firing line and behind
it, and has been a mighty force in helping make the soldiers in the
trenches and the prisoners In the camp happy, and keeping up their
courage.
Now comes word that the Y. M. C. A. in this country is going
to be represented at each of the training camps by five secretaries,
as well as other workers, who will be constantly on hand as an
inspiration and help to the men in the camps.
Reports of the Plattsburg camp and similar camps last year,
showed that there was a side of the life of the men in training that
was not manly. A large number of men, by themselves, cut off from
the refinements of home, and the presence of women, tend to lose
some of the finer things. This tendency will be combatted by the
Y. M. C. A. in the training camps, and this is a work that will meet
with hearty co-operation.
The training camps should not be condemned because of evi-
dences of immorality that must be true of but a minority of the men.
The government is taking care that the surroundings of the camp3
will be of the best, and that every incentive will be at hand for the
men to maintain the highest standards.
The noble purpose for which the camps are held, that of gather
ing strength to defend an ideal, will tend to prevent looseness. The
stronger men in the camp and the presence of the Y. M. C. A.
will assist in keeping the standards high.

THE COLLEGE EDUCATION
The average Nebraska University man discovered, in filling out the
blank forms of the Intercollegiate Intelligence bureau, that he could
not put a cross after any of the sixty or more occupations listed
in which expert service would be needed by the government in the
war. The college man, unless he had devoted his course to specialized
training in some technical branch, such as chemistry or engineering,
found that he would be comparatively useless in the work behind the
lines. This may account in part for the rush of the men to the training
camps.
The one burning desire in everyone's heart is to be of actual
service to the government in the war. The college man whose work
had been of a general nature discovered that his service In the more
peaceful arts would not be of high enough calibre to make him efficient
in an emergency. Consequently he chose the other course of fitting
himself to be an officer.
This is an interesting sidelight on the tendency of the universi
ties to specialized training, to the so-called "practcal" courses that
have become popular.' This indicates one reason for this tendency.
It is the feeling that the man of today must be trained along some
one line as an expert, if he is to fill with credit to himself, a niche
in the busy world.
This feeling may be right or wrong. But It exists, and the con
sciousness that their general training, was not of the kind to make
them valuable at emergency call, brought home to so many men by
the coming of the war, will probably have Its effect In shaping the
university curriculum after the war.

FIFTY-FIVE PLAY IN
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
(Continued from Page 1)
mander-in-chlef, with concertmaster
Hugo Oik, first violin of the orchestra,
as his chief lieutenant, and Assistant
Conductor Frederick Fischer as ad
jutant.. Concertmaster Oik is the lead
er of the orchestra under Conductor
Zach, of course and sets the rules
and etiquette to be followed by the
remainder of the seventy-five. In
signaling for a beginning of a per
formance Conductor Zach first gives
the signal to .Mr. Oik and then to the
particular section whose turn comes
first in the composition. The men
never move from their seats at the
end of a performance until Concert
master Oik has risen, and none even
leaves the platform before him, eves
if he has remained to chat with so mo
body in the orchestra.
To Assistant Conductor Fischer be
longs the duty of conveying instruc
tions other than rehearsal work, from
the conductor to the men, keeping
them up to their orchestral duties,
seeing that they are at hand when
wanted, and other routine matters.
The librarian. Eugene Kiefer, takes
care of the music both in its distribu
tion and collection. Fischer is alao
leader of the bassoon section, and
Kiefer plays In the trombone Section
Ludwlg Pleler, first cello and leader
of his section, might be said to cor
respond to a military major. The
cello choir is next in Importance to
the violins, and its leader, therefore,
ranks second only to the concert
master. Pleler is an artist of Inter
national reputation, as a soloist as
well as orchestra player. He is a
native of Bohemia, where his father
is a well known orchestra conductor.
He had his schooling under some of
the best masters of Europe. Shortly
after coming to America about four
years ago he joined the St. Louis
orchestra as first cellist, which posi
tion he has since retained.
