Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second-class mull matter under the act of Congress of March S, 1879. The annual exhibition of the Ne braska art association Is now on dis play and, as usual, Is offering the majority of students an inspiration they are neglecting. Probably because few save those especially interested in art have ever attended the exhibi tion, the average student thinks little about H and is, perhaps, somewhat fearful of boredom when the subject .is mentioned. This feeling is prob ably no more than a survival of child hood days when anything that did not fascinate the greedy energy of youth was shied at. University students can find inspiration, mental stimulus and moral bracing, in the excellent collection of paintings in Art hall, and the number of those who take advantage of this opportunity should be increased. Clothing the members of the cadet regiment in uniforms approximating the regular army outfit and requiring students to wear them at other times than drill hours is generally consid ered a commendable move It will facilitate the work of making the two years of military science in the Uni versity really a training school that will turn out men better fitted for army life If they are headed for it. Tt will place the cadet regiment more strictly upon an army basis' and will aid in perfecting the discipline and t respect for superiors so vital to an army and net out of place in civil . life. The question of just how much the uniforms should be worn Is a per plexing one which, it is understood, has not yet been definitely settled. Those who favor the 7-day a week program of real army life seem, to have the majority, and this will un doubtedly be the best plan if it can be carried out without making it nec essary for students to buy two uni forms, a requirement that would seem ' an unnecessary burden. The advan tages to be derived from, cadets in uniforms, however, demand that the , extent of their wear be as wide as . possible. belongs to a dozen organizations is ac tive In politics. Is a social Hon and is known as a good fellow, he is ac counted a success. He may have at tained his goal, but tbat goal has been a mercenary, pleasure-loving goal rather than the goal of true education. We work to pass a course not to learn what Is in the course. Whether our uinds absorb anything or not is not taken into consideration. NEW ENLISTMENTS FORCE ACACIA TO ABANDON HOWE Seven Men Withdraw From School for Military Service and More Soon to Leave EDUCATION (Dai'y Illinl.) Back In the days of Grecian suprem acy men sat under the tress, on the plazas and under the towering arches of the Agora and listened to the wis dom of great teachers. Men gathered for love of knowledge, for love of higher education, for the pure love of learning things they did not know. The universities of old were sacred things pacred to tbo thoughts anil arts of high civilization. Then there was no need for coercing men with a plea for spirit. Their 6pirit was the love of their work the love of learn ing for learning's sake. That was 1,500 years ago. Today, with our highly developed civilizatirn, our marvels of science, our careful and specialized branches of education, we sometimes stop to wonder what it is all for. Is the av erage college student studying for love of education, from pure desire for knowledge? Unfortunately education is no longer directed toward the de velopment of men's minds that they may call themselves well-educated. It is directed toward that perfection of an efficient mind which shall cm for the educated one not more intellectual satisfaction but more dollars. Every thing is dollars, dollars, dollars. Peo ple pducte thpmse'vpq to mk toa dollars and then send their children to follow In their footsteps that they may make more dollars. 'What does 8rece In the ni've sitv or college mean?

If a man Acacia fraternity which was forced at the beginning of the year to give up its home at 1325 R street, on ac count of the war and which attempted to reorganize its forces by Etarting up a new house at 1411 Q street, has again been obliged to discontinue the maintenance of a regular dwelling because of the enlistment of seven of its men in the war service. Other of the members are contemplating leav ing school soon and for this reason the fraternity deemod it expedient to give up the hopes of running a perma nent house for this year. The Acacia address is now Station A. The members will live at private rooming houses for the remainder of the school term according to the pres ent plans. With the beginning of the next semester late in February other or ganizations are expected to follow the Acacia in abolishing their houses. Many enlistments have already been made by fraternity men and a great number of withdrawals are predicted from this source at the office of the registrar. The' approaching draft will also reap a large toll from the male population of the University so that the ranks of the men representatives will be greatly . depleted by the time school closes next spring. Historical Society to Hold Annual Meeting Soon The forty-first annual meeting of the State Historical society will be held in the Temple theatre, January 15 and 16. One of the features of the pro gram will be an exhibtion of war pic tures and posters in the lobby. The general topic is the "Farmers' Move ments in Nebraska." In connection with this meeting is the twenty-sixth annual meeting of the Nebraska Territorial Pioneers' asso ciation, and the seventh annual meet ing of the Nebraska Memorial associa tion at the LIndell hotel, January 15 Fourteen Students Added Recent Withdrawals Fourteen names have been added to the list of student withdrawals within the past week. Nearly all of the men named have left for various branches of army or navy service. It in probable that a large number will leave at the end of the semester. The following students have left recently: W. D. Coffey R. E. Ganz Forest Peterson E. C. Jeffrey H. D. Gildersleeve E. C. Brown Herman Nelson C. J. Bergman John W. Webb F. L. Plchn Glenn W. Rodwell Homer Carson II. H. Kirsch . Eimo Funk LUNDMARK HADE HEAD OF INTER-CLASS DEBATES Driver Chosen Secretary of Board Work on Tryouts to Commence Soon O. v! Lundmark, '18, was elected president, and George Driver, '19, sec retary, of the inter-class debating board, at a meeting held yesterday morning. The board will meet again next week, and decide upon a ques tion to be used in the debates, which will take place next semester. Driver, who is chairman of the Junior class debating team, has already is sued a call to all 'members of that class who wish to try out for the class team. They are requested to leave their names with Driver at the Uni versity Y. M. C. A. In the Temple. Within the next week or two all classes will have held tryouts, and the teams will be ready for the first ae bate. The freshmen and sophomores havo thpi first debate and this is fol lowed by the debates between the, seniors and Juniors. The finals win be held as usual, on Phi Beta Kappa day in March. The first step in the organization of the debatine teams will be the meet ing at some specified place, of all the members of each claBS who wish to try out for nlaces on the teams. At this meeting Judges will be chosen to sit r.t the class tryouts. Within a day or so after this meeting, the tryouts will be held and the men chosen to represent the respective classes in the tournament. Last year the debates were held on Phi Beta Kappa day, the 29th of March. The sophomore class won the championship from the Henlors by a two-to-one decision.

In every mail" Prof. Sarka Hrbkova, chairman of the woman's committee of the Nebraska state council of de fense, receives numbers of letters from girls and women over the state asking advice in taking up some sort of war work. Yesterday she received' four. "Only one of the four has had enough training to enter any definite line of work," Professor Hrbkova said. "I shall advise this girl to take a stenographic course and try the civil service examination. Almost any girl who has had fair training in this work can pass this examination and get a position that will pay from $1,000 to $1,200 a year. Of course girls must remember that living expenses are high. One will not; make a lot of money in this work, but one will be doing real service for our country." A week ago a number of Lincoln girls called upon Professor Hrbkova and asked that an evening class in telegraphy be arranged for. Arrange ments are being made for this now by Chancellor Avery and the registrar, so that if enough register the course will be given. "Many girls want pos'.ons in the Y. W. C. A. hostess houses," Miss Hrbkova said. "Usually these posi tions are filled by older, more experi enced women," she added.
