It was deemed fitting, by the presi dent and war department of the Unit ed States, that the opportunities pre sented to the young men of this country should be Inaugurated by uni versal celebrations throughout the country which would begin, at the va rious Institutions, simultaneously. This feature of the occasion tended to make more solemn and wore Impres sive these ceremonies. Almost every member and prospective member of the S. A. T.

C, as follows: "This day has a peculiar significance for more than five hundred colleges and universities throughout the Unit ed States. It will witness the organ ization of a unique and powerful force of fighting men the students' army training corps. The patriotism of American educational institutions is demonstrated to the world by the gen- erous and splendid way in which they ;faave rallied to the support of this far--. reaching plan to supply the Ameri--can armies with officer material and trained specialists of all descriptions. 'lit is most fitting that this day, which will be remembered in Ameri-j xn history, should be observed in a i manner appropriate to its significance and to the high aims and ideals of the .stndents' army training corps .

Members of the S. A. T .C, the gov ernment Is furnishing you with an op portunity, which will open the way to advancement In the service to you per sonally and which, if you will give your all, will be the means of more rapidly perfecting our already great military service. You are all men who have had educational opportuni ties and you ought to be in a position to speedily adapt yourselves to the needs of the service. The government looks to this and other S. A. T. C. units for officer material, and it ex pects that a goodly percentage of those of you who apply yourselves to the woik before you will become lead ers of the army and navy of the Unit ed States. You are entering upon the most serious undertaking of your lives and it is up to you to put forth every ounce of energy in you to make suc cesses of yourselves and to bring this war to a successful termination. There are 150,000 young men in this coun try who are at this moment attending ceremonies of this kind and who are being told substantially these same things which I am now telling to you, and the eyes of the country are upon vou and will be constantly upon you until the end of the war. Make up your minds that you are in the army, that your living conditions will be new to you and that you will have to adapt yourselves to army conditions from the moment you shall be induct ed. Play the military game as it ought to be played and be good sol diers every minute of the time you spend in the military service. It is needless to tell men of your mental caliber that you cannot buck superior authorities in military life, but a word to the wise is sufficient, and to those of you who may feel like bucking it some time during your service, I will just say, "don't do it." (To be cotninued Monday) MILITARY NOTICE Captain Harrington will lecture to S. A. T. C. men on medical subjects connected with barracks life at Tem ple theatre, October 4, at eleven o'clock. S. A. T.

The definite lineup for the game was not announced but Coach Schlss ler states that his material Is pretty well lined up. The lineup of the first string players in the order of pref erence follows: Ccnter-M. Munn, Dana and Thorpe. Guards-Ross, Krelmelmeyer, W. Munn and Dana. Tackles Lyman, DuTeau. Ends-Swanson. Martin, Cyprean son, Hartley and Atkins. Quarter Lance and Newman. Half McMahon Schellenberg and Howarth. Full Hubka. The Iowa lineup has not been an nounced but will probably be the same as used In the game with the Great Lakes, with the addition of two or three freshmen. It is understood that the star llawkeye punter is a first year man who did not participate in the game last Saturday. Season Tickets Going Slowly Students' bargain tickets have been dragging miserably since the opening 4. .nmnn?ot 1 T II O T t .1 i 11 1 V in the schedule at the first of the week caus ed the management to hesitate In pushing the sales by sonctauon on the campus and that may be account able for the luke warm response of the student body. Now that six big attractions have been assured or "money back," the campaign leaders were greatly disappointed when the record Thursday evening showed only 342 books had been sold. The Vousing rally yesterday morning was expected to wake the students up and cause a stampede for tickets. ' Ample explanation has been made that admission to one game on a sea son ticket is fifty cents and single admission to the same game will run from $1.00 to $2.50, and that the $3.00 season ticket is good for reserved seat in the choicest portion of the stands. The management sees a long, long trail ahead of it before the sales reach the 2000 mark unless a rush is staged today and tomorrow. CORNHUSKERS HAVE NEW WAR TANK (Continued from Page One) Iowa Has Veteran Team the greatest team in her history. Coach Sissler, who witnessed the Great Lakes-Iowa game, said that the Hawkeyes have nine veterans back and two more that are better than old timers. However, his hopes are high for the old Cornhusker tank. He said that before long we would have as good a team as any in the country, barring of course, any more such ac cidents like the one which will take away Nebraska's old star, Harold Mc Mahon. The assistant coach declar- u Mil K ...1 "we have enouRh fight to lick Iowa and It s up to the student body to see that the team has It." , Captain Maclvor, In tya clear mili tary style, cloned the bag for all doubts aa to the outcome of the bat tle. He will use all his power to put Nebraska on the throne in the foot ball world. In regard to out of town trips, he stated. "Where any other eonimandant gives two days, I will give four, If necessary," because he believes that men restrained and held down will not develop as Tast as those who are given a reasonable amount of freedom. He gave a good example of what a man will do when put on his honor. rrofeBsc G. E. Condra, who Is one NOW TRY ROBERTS New Sanitary DAIRY LUNCH 1238 " O " STREET Open 6:30 A. M. to 12 P. M.
