'dien Await Orders From
Maclvor to Move in
Nebraska the First S. A. T. C. in
the Country to Send Men to
Officers' School
The twfnty-eight men who were se
lected from the S. A. T. C. to a'.iend
officers' training camps left Friday
afternoon. October 11. ai 4:30. Four
of tbem went to Camp Hancock. Ga.,
and the rest were sent to Camp Mo
Arthur. Waco. Texas.
It is of particular interest to note
that the men who left from the Unl
Tersity of Nebraska to become officers
In Uncle Sam's army were the first
S. A. T. C. men to be sent from any
part of the United States. The inci
dent reflects the good work of the
recruiting officer. Professor George
Chatburn. and of the commandant.
Captain Maclvor.
Men will be picked from the S. A.
T. C. at irregular intervals. Prob
ably the rookies will be picked as
fast a? they show signs of promotion.
The plan of the S. A. T. C. work is to
prepare men for the officers' training
ramps. Therefore men will" not be
kept here any longer than necessary.
Everybody has an equal chance. The
man who works the most intelligently
will get ahead.

THIS WEEK
of the university were completed last
Saturday afternoon. Mr. Charles
Chow Ins. superintendent of grounds
and buildings, made the announcement
on that afternoon that the new Science
hall was ready for the use of the sol
dlers. News from the detachment headquar
ters says that the men will be bar
racked the early part of this week.
Some of the equipment is not in yet.
However, orders have been given for
all necessary supplies and by the end
of this week every S. A. T. C. man
will find himself in government bar
racks under government supervision
and control.
Captain Maclvor expects to an
nounce some definite plans In the
very near future regarding the bar
racks and the method by which they
will be assigned. In addition a com
plete schedule and routine will be pub
lished. This order will make several
changes affecting both classes in
school and drill requirements.
Dean Engberg announces, for the
benefit of certain university men who
have been on needles for some time,
that the engineering reserves and
other reserves" will be taken into the
S. A. T. C. during this week. The de
tachment headquarters with the assist
ance cf the dean have completed a list
of all the eligible men. They will be
summoned as soon as the list is com
plete. These men will have to go
through a short procedure such as
filling out insurance papers and so
forth.

known.
Following s a copy of a letter re
celved on Friday morning by Dean
Engberg from Edward E. Nicholson,
district educational director. District
"S" of the S. A. T. C:
1. Out of the total schedule of fifty-three
hours for the week, eleven
hours Is to be set aside for drill and
Saturday inspection, and forty-two
hours is to be reserved for scholastic
work, class work and preparation.
2. For men In engineering and
medicine of the sophomore year and
above who have had one year of mili
tary drill at your institution or its
equivalent, the military requirement
may be reduced from eleven hours to
not less than six, with the understand
ing that this excess time is to be filled
up w 1th strictly technical work.
3. Juniors and seniors in the tech
nical schools need not take the war
aims course. In the other schools,
thes,e students who have had a course
practically equivalent to war aims
may be excused. I suggest the fol
lowing procedure for them: That they
make application for excuse, report
ing too the man in charge of this
course, he to pass Judgment as to the
equivalents, approving or disapprov
ing. They should then pass through
the hands of one man yourself, for
instance, as I expect to ask that there
be appointed in each institution one
man with whom I may deal directly.
4. In the case of engineering, only
two terms of war aims will be requir
ed of the freshman and sophomores
six months. This should be combined
with the rhetoric course as per in
structions. Students who may have
had war aims course last year may be
excused by following procedure as
outlined above.

CITY COUNCIL ORDER
SPREAD OF INFLUENZA BRINGS NOTICE TO CLOSE THE
CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, THEATRES AND PUBLIC GATH
ERINGS CLASSES SUSPENDED BUT DRILL
GOES ON
Complyinp with the emergency order-of the Lincoln city coun
cil issued Saturday all classes of the University have been closed
until the Spanish epidemic is fully under control. The regulations
require that all schools, theatres, churches and places of public
amusement or gathering remained closed indefinitely.
Chancellor Hastings interpreted the order to refer to the Uni
versity and slates that school will remain closed in accordance with
the directions until a definite agreement has been made. Captain
Maclvcr orders that all S. A. T. C. work progress "as usual" and
that every member of the corps report for duty at the regular

ILLINOIS BATTLE . .

Nebraska Submits Attractive Bid
For Turkey Day Game and
Zuppe Considers It
Bob Zuppke's football warriors from
Illinois university have bobed up as
very likely opponents for the Corn
huskers on Turkey day. The Ne
braska athletic authorities got In
touch with the eastern school last
Wednesday by wire and submitted a
bid for a Thanksgiving day match.
The offer bore fruit and although
nothing final has been "' decided, the
I'rbana management replied Friday
could be
settled upon, they might find it pos-

There are several other schools in
the market for games with Illinois
f.- tho eamo rit N'ehraska is desir -
ous of nabbing and if the proposition
. i i
is made attractive enough the Husk
ers will be the ones to pull down the
big engagement.
Head Coach Kline and Director
Scott got together and wired that
thev would submit a formal financial
offer by mail. Dope has leeked out
that the proposition is rather templing
and Cornhuskers are hopeful of bag
ging the game. Northwestern uni- ',
versity. scheduled for Saturday, No-;
vember 23, was given a substantial
guarantee, and It is probable that a
like offer was tendered the Illinois 1
university.
If Nebraska does succeed in billing

BOOKS FAST ARRIVING
TOR i WAR AIMS COURSE
It is interesting to note." said Pro-
to the -warlfetsof Guernsey Jones, "how soon
after there is a demand for a certain
kind of text book, that they -can be
produced." A large number of books
for the war aims course have already
been prepared, and more are appear
ing all the time. For the present
"Modern and Contemporra European
The order came after a meeting of
the city council to consider the reso
lution presented by John Wright,
commissioner of public safety, rec
ommending that all public places of
instruction and amusement together
with churches be closed Immediately
to prevent the further spread of the
Spanish influenza which had gained
considerable progress in the city to
ward the middle of last week.
This order contradicts directly the
policy proposed by C. F. Chapman,
superintendent of health and the mem
bers "of the health department, who
considered that the epidemic wai
sufficiently under control to warrant
the continuance especially of the
schools.
The council upon consideration of
the situation, however, conluded that
the wisest thing for the present was
to close every place where the epi-
j demlc might gam ground and thereby
: place Lincoln and vicinity in a posi-
I tlon where it might be guarded against
j any serious outbreak of the disease.

Another Epidemic
Raging on Campus
A new epidemic, more violent than
the Spanish influenza, is rapidly
spreading over the campus. Every
day new- cases are reported of vic
tims stricken with the fataV maUdy;
diagnosed as "Love's Young Dream."
Up to this time, men in civilian
clothes seem to be more or less ex
empt from the affliction, the greatest
suffering occurring among the soldiers
and co-eds.
No place on the campus is free
from these unfortunate beings. You
see them on every bench, on every
walk, beneath every tree, in every
secluded nook. As far as the eye can
see. the landscape is colored with
these sufferers.
The symptoms of this plague are
verv noticeable. The victims usually
gaze raptly into each others eyes, and
seem to need the support xt fond em-
braces. The facial expression be
j comes calf-like and oft-times the con
versation waxes sweet and low.
The bright noon sunshine and the
rude stares of curious and nnsympa-
thetic passers by sometimes effect a
. . a
; if d pcrary cure, out Kuie paucuw
j to rally, even under such severe treat
ment. These may be seen clinging
together as they struggle on their
w ays. However, It is generally con
ceded that the greatest agony is ex
perienced when the evening shadows

The strange thing about it all is that
none of these modern Romeos and
Juliets realize that they are suffering.
Maybe Sherman was right, but far be
it from them to think so. As Shakes
peare once said. "Lrd. what fools
