Calls Expected Often
The commandant mated that simi
lar calls were expected as often as
every two weeks, so men who failed
to get in thf.s first call still have some
thing to work for. The rating of the
men who applied, but who did not get
in, are on file and will be used in de
termining the men In the next quota.
Men will very soon now be "put in
barracks, regular drill has begun, and,
all men fully inducted who desire to
be messed can be taken care of. The
next call for officer material will no
doubt be determined largely by the
'&y the men show up In drill and the
general impression they are able to
make.
Football Ushers
Men who wish to usher for the
Camp Funston game Saturday must
report at the student activities' office
between eight and twelve o'clock the
day before Saturday.

and Mess Call Sounded
Tuesday Morning
Rest of the Applicants Soon to
Complete Their
Induction
The S. A. T. C. men ure progressing
remarkably well in their drill accord
ing to a statement by the command
ant, Captain Maclvor. The command
ing officer inspected the 7000 fully in
ducted men Tuesday during the regu
lar morning drill.
The rookies are being taught the
rudiments of military drill. Monday
morning the whole of the two hours
was spent in mastering the Tarings
and dressings. In the afternoon drill
the same things were reviewed, noth
ing being added. A great deal of time
Is devoted to each exercise to insure
exact precision and quickness.
Already a change is seen in the men
participating. Often they may be
:etn snapping their right hand to the
right side of their head dress.
That military technique Is conduc
ive of pride and a feeling of import
ance is shown by the military manner
in which the men go to their classes.
Tuesday morning the drill sergeants
surprised the recruits by springing a
number of different movements. They
were given the marchings including
side stepping and backward marching.
In these movements the men showed
even greater interest.
Minor promotions are already being
made in the unit. A number of old
university men and Camp Sheridan

Stanley Hall is .acting as top sergeant.
He has attended the Flattsmouth mil
itary academy. The commandant an
nounced that every man would be al
lowed to act as an officer and in this
way receive training similar to that of
an officers' training camp. All de
pends on the man, his work, and abil
ity. By the end of the week the men will
be drilling in regular sections which
will be permanent. Sergeant Webb
says that the rest of the "competent"
papers are here. The rest of the S. A.
T. C. prospects, 640. will be taken in
Thursday.
Mess Call Sounded
At 6:30 o'clock Tuesday morning the
members of the S. a. T. C. who are
fully inducted, formed a line one block
long to-receive their first breakfast in
the government mess hall located in
the Temple. The hour set for the first
meal of the day was rather early and
consequently only half of the fully in
ducted rookies were present. Those
who were there declared mat me
breakfast was a feast.
From now on as soon as the men are
inducted they will be given a meal
ticket which will admit them to the
mess line. By the end of the week T.
A. Williams expects to be feeding 1500
young" soldiers. He is ready for them
now but the papers have not been
filled out in the case of half of the S.
A. T. C. men.

a graduate of Broken Bow high school,
and until recently when she and Mrs.
Pelton moved to Lincoln had made

Definite arrangements have not
been completed for the funeral but it
is probable that it will be held on
Thursday.

EPIDEMIC NOT YET
CAUSE FOR ALARM
Despite the number of new cases of
influenza reported yesterday the epi
demic seems to be on the wane, and
the caes are becoming less perious
owing to the care taken by officials to
prevent the further spread of the dis
ease, and to the precautions observed ,
by individuals. Among the cases re
ported yesterday were Dr. R. G. Clapp,
Professor R. D. Scott and Professor
F. A. Stuff.
All the cases reported are under
medical care and are much lighter In
nature than they have Leen previously.
There are four hospitals on the camp
us taking care of over three hundred
cases, while two hospitals at the
farm campus are caring for some one
hundred and eighty patients.
Most of the recent cases recover in
from three to five clays, and caufe lit
tle suffering or inconvenience to the
patient if properly cared for. Dean
Engberg stated yesterday that if the
precautions formerly given out to the
students wre observed there was lit
tle case for alarm, and that the situa
tion as it exists at the university is in
an encouraging condition.
In accordance with the order from
Dean Engberg and Dean Heppner that
all social affairs for the week-end be
cancelled all meeting of literary so
cieties will be postponed.
FIRST YEAR MEN
GIVEN GOOD
- POINTED ADYICE
Captain Maclvor and Dean Eng
berg Address Freshmen at
Annual Convocation
... First year men took time off during
the political campaign Tuesday while
the polls were closed" from eleven
o'clock until twelve o'clock for their
annual convocation in the Temple the
atre. Walter Blunk presided and
spoke of the various activities which
.freshmen could enter. He introduced
Captain Maclvor, who pointed out the
way before them since their entrance
into the army. Dean C. C. Engberg
told of the necessity of keeping up
their scholastic standing from the
start.
Captain Maclvor emphasized the ad
vantages the men had in entering the
university at this time. "You have no
errors to correct," he said, "and it is
much easier to learn the military work
correctly the first time than to be
forced to get out of wrong habits."
You who are here for the first time
can much more easily adapt your
selves to the requirements than those
who have been used to many of the
haphazard practices of former years.
Discipline Makes Leaders
'Discipline makes leaders and it
is leaders that are needed at the pres-
j ent time. Leaders wno can ieu t..
men by firmness and kindness are me
men who will succeed and it Is this
method of leadership which will be
taught. It is this sort of leadership
that you will meet this year. Give us
50-50 and you will succeed.
"The spirit that has made you fight
for your school and your alma mater
should urge you to resolve to work
for your school this year. Every man
in this training corps is officer mater
ial and will be kept in school if it is
found that he is officer type. The only
way in which you can be officer type
is to be a gentleman always. The men
who remain in this school must be
real men. of clean cut manners and
physical excellence and none others
are wanted. Every man should be
ready to lake the responsibility that
is placed upon his shoulders and re
member when he has accepted it that
many mother's sons are dependent up
on his judgment and care.
Advises Hard Work
-I have heard that some men have
expressed their intention to do poor
work here in order to be transferred
more ouickly to the active service. If
hey are transferred in this manner

NOTRE DAME WILL
COME TO LINCOLN
Accepts Cornhusker's Offer For
Game on November 2 on
Nebraska Field
Date With Camp Dodge Soldiers
For October 26 Still
Hanging Fire
Coach Kline's dickering with Notre
Dame for a game on November 2 have
borne fruit and the Catholics are com
ing to Lincoln on the above date in
place of October 19. which had to be
cancelled on account of a new war
department ruling. The telegram from
Coach Rochne of the Indiana institu
tion, which arrived about 4:30 yester
day afternoon, reads:
"W. G. Kline, football coach of the
University of Nebraska, Lincoln:
Can play November second, on same
terms. K. K. Rochne."
This news was oil on the troubled
waters for the sixth big number on 'he
Husker bill which has been hanging
fire since Monday when Kline receiv
ed the notification that the game as
previously arranged would have to be
abandoned. The war department re
quested that the real competitive sea

was elected senior member of the pub
lication board over Madeline Girard
of Lincoln by 77 votes.
In the Junior class Orville Kller
brock won the class presidency over
Paul J. Peterson and Webb Rlshards
was selected member of the publica
tion board over Neil T. Chadderdon.
Charles Gillilan of Hardy was elected
president of the sophomores over
Helen Larson of St. Paul by a vote of
132 to 69.
Chalmers K. Seymour of Omaha
was elected president of the fresh
man class with 336 votes, a lead of 155
over Don D. Gildersleeve of Wayne,
his nearest opponent.
Record Freshman Vote
Heavy voting in the freshman class
featured the election, nearly twice as
many first-year students voting as
cast their ballots in either of the
past two years. A total of 729 votes
were cast in this class as compared
with 442 cast in the first semester last
year and 344 in the first semester two
years ago. Although first-year men
have never been so numerous on the
campus as this year it is believed that
this years' class has the highest per
centage record that has been estab
lished. Yearlings who escaped the
work of the machines of the six candi
dates in the race were few.
Electioneering in all of the classes
and for every office was unusually vig
orous and the section of the campus be
tween University hall and the ballot
boxes in Memorial hall was a mael
strom of political candidates and their
prospects from nine o'clock to eleven
o'clock in the forenoon and from two
o'clock to five o'clck in the afternon.
Never were so many old acquaintances
renewed and so mam' lone-forgotten
friendships remembered as during the
five hours the polls were open and
never did the lonely freshmen receive
so many reassuring handshakes.
Promptly with the closing of the
doors at five o'clock candidates turned
with relief from their day's labors to
depart for hoir.e and a liniment bottle,
leaving their friends to stand guard
until the ballots were country. The
results were posted on the bulletin
board in front of Administration build
ing at 6:45 o'clock.
