FOR OUR GUIDANCE
"To do whatever we are called upon
to help in the carrying on of the war;
to do nothing which will interfere,
and for the rest, to carry on our usu
al activities with unusual energy." la
the duty of every member of the Uni
versity family according to Chancellor
W. G. Hastings, in his key-note speech
Tuesday at the opening convocation of
the year. It is to the fulfillment of
this duty the University has bended
Its efforts 6ince the beginning of tho
war and for which It will work until
the war is won.
"We may rejoice," explained the
chancellor, "that all of football has
not been taken away. No Kaiser be
yond the ocean shall deprive us of the
Joys of living and the social culture
of life. However," he pointed out,
"the lads of the United States army are
first and foremost, fighting men."
It Is in these words of the head of
the University of Nebraska that stu
dents and members of the faculty will
find guidance for the coming year. In
them is found the basis for the pro
gram which should be followed.
Already the seriousness of the work
ahead has been realized and a changed
attitude is noticed toward University
training on the part of both the stu
dent and tha instructor. No longer
does the freshman come to college
solely to have a good time and to re
gard his preparation as a side-line.
No longer does the Junior or senior
speak of "getting" or "pulling credits."
Every student at Nebraska this year
is here to do something to help win
the war or prepare himself for the
work of reconstruction. Though the
Individual programs may include work
widely diverging from knitting and
studying economics to bayonet drill,
each bit of work is as important as
that carried on in cantonments and
naval stations and the non-essentials
must take a second place.
Students this year are also finding
that the war note has entered the
class room and professors and in
structors are applying their instruc
tion to the present day and the various
phases of the government program.
"Americanism" is the keynote. Amer
ican literature, ideals and history are
taught. When literature is taught
the instructor points out the worthy
ideals suggested; when engineering is
taught the instrurctor shows wherein
a principle discussed may be used
in construction camp or trench. Ev
ery minute is being utilized for the
winning of the war. The University
has "shouldered arms."
In accepting Head Coach Kline's sug
gestion that the rule bo suspended,
have shown they feel Nebraska will
profit more than they If fresh
men are allowed to play. The
Comhuskcr authorities by an
nouncing early in the season the war
city of eligible material have caused
a wide-spread belief to this effect but
dispatches of recent date from Kan
sas and Iowa show these schools are
in the same boat and will both profit
greatly by the suHpenslon of the rule.
Definite orders for the abandonment
of tho rule will probably bo received
within a short time, but until thenjip
porclassmen must flgnt the battleB and
every eligible man should report.

DESPISES DEMOCRA
CY'S STRENGTH
(Continued from Page One)
FRESHMAN ELIGIBILITY
Footballs' importance a3 a part of
military training was again given rec
ognition by government heads In the
recommendation of Colonel Reese that
the freshman eligibility rule be sus
pended in all S. A. T. C. schools
where it is now in force. There Ehould
be little delay on the part of the Uni
versities in falling in line with this
recommendation and if possible fresh
men should be allowed to play in the
opening games.
Freshmen and seniors alike, will be
privates in the new army organization
and will be expected to prepare them
selves for the same service. Neither
should have advantage over the other
by being allowed the training on the
football field. According to Captain
Mac-Ivor men in the University S. A.
T. C. unit will all be known as S. A.
T. C. trainers and not as freshmen or
Juniors The distinction has no more
place on the gridiron than on the mil
itary field.
Valley schools, by their hesitancy
and Spencer was in favor of it be
cause he -thought it less dangerous
than any other form of government.
Another said that a democratic gov
ernment would be economical.
The American government is a dem
ocracy, and yet It has wrung from a
reluctant people a spirit of imperial
ism, for as the chancellor pointed out,
there are found In the federal govern
ment on occasions when called for,
military powers and authority un
dreamed of in peaceful times. It is
this which is causing the Central
powers of Europe to find out their
mistake in believing that they could
terrorize a democracy.
A Thing to Defeid
"And now," the speaker went on tt
say, "we must show that this democ
racy is something worth while to de
fend." The struggle which has be
jun must; be carried on to the ver:
end. Something more than mora
grounds call for the necessity of edu
cation. The regents of the Unlver
sity have made the following state
ment: "We are to do whatever we arf
called upon to carry on the war, dc
nothing to interfere, and for the res
to carry on our usual activities with
unusual energy."
The chancellor called attention to
an inscription on a French tablet
which expressed the idea that In ordei
to govern a free man, you- must in
struct him. He then asked if this migh
not be changed to mean that in ordei
for a free man to govern himself and
to care for what has been entrusted t
him, he must be instructed. Instruc
tion then is to be the primary pur
pose of the University in order tha
the free men who are here may b
foremost and above all, soldiers.' He
closed by asking that war substitute:
be received without any complaints.
CHANGE EFFECTED IN
STUDENT DRILL HOURS

ent some time today. The following
orders 6hould be read and heeded by
everyone concerned:
"Commandant, students' army train
ing corps University of Nebraska, re
quests that all students desiring tc
enter the S. A. T. C. and who are reg
istrants of September 12 and who have
not been examined as yet, report for
physical examination tomorrow, Wed
nesday, at eight o'clock.
"This will be the last day for the
physical examination of those reg
istrants of September 12, therefore
it is desired that all men report who
have not been examined and who are
registrants of September 12. This
will do away with any unnecessary ex
amining of students after tomorrow."
HUSHER ARTIST CRE
ATES ATMOSPHERE
(Continued from Page One)
Hi elements were pigments, not
guBCB. Sometimes he used the oil
medium on a gunny-sacking back
ground. It sounds sort of rough, but
it put ether into his landscapes ond
reality Into his sketches. Crjtlcs call
It technique, newspapers call it "II.
summer sketches is a still life study of
glittering battles on a brilliant red
back-ground. If you stand far enough
I," which Is the short for human Inter
est. Kirsch calls it effects.
Again Kirsch tried to attain the
elusive vivifying quality by using
opaque water color on brown wrap
ping paper. This gave a warm back
ground with all of the sunshine ele
ments embodied. Speaking of conser
vation anyone who can make a
penny sheet of wrapping paper take
back from the'eanvass to get the effect
without being scorched, you w ill enjoy
the brilliancy or the product.
Another summer scene that is more
keenly appreciated at long distance
range Is an unnamed sketch contain
ing yellow trees, a red hen house and
a brilliant blue sky. Only a man by
the name of Kirsch would ever at
tempt to make an artistic production
from such subjects. The scene must
be seen to be enjoyed.
Kirsch likes extremes in painting
environments as well as colors and
compositions. One week during the
summer was spent in working In the
seclusion of Crete woods. Only the
ants and grand-daddies w ere permitted
to see the secret working and applied
art that went Into the making of Bome
beautiful out-of-door sketches. The
ants and daddies ( were well trained
and refused to reveal those secrets.
- Another week's work was ac
complished where all who walked
might see. Kirsch betook unto him
self a model, garbed in a Red Cross
uniform and sketched her before the
curious crowds that frequented the
university building at the State Fair.
It was hard to tell which was the
most attractive, the model or the ex
hibition of art. At any rate the audi
ence was always "large and appreciative."
Kirsch also engaged himself In war
poster work for the ship building and
War Stamp drives.
AH of theBe works of art, from the
hen house to the "Pull Hard, Hoys"
posters, will be on exhibition at sq
early date this fall in the University
Art Gallery.
