Cases Increase Over
Country
Innovations Begin to Have
Effect, But Men Hold Up
Well
No school for two weeks, was the
word flashed about the campus and
barracks late Monday afternoon when
it became known that the quarantine
ban on the entire state had fallen and
would not lift until November 2. The
state quarantine supersedes the city
ban which became effective at the
university more than a week ago.
The order of the state board of
health which names Spanish Influenza
as the disease to be combated, closes
all schools, both city and country,
theatres, churches, lodges and public
meetings of any nature, both indoor
and out.
Disease Increases
Dispatches from over the state In
dicate the increasing prevalence of in
fluenza in virulent forms, and even
university students who flocked to
their homes several weeks ago to es
cape the epidemic here, have failed
to elude it.

tions from Washington Monday after

This order affects practically all of
the men in the university who regis
tered prior to September 12 ami who
failed to gain entrance to the S. A.

Several hours afte-r tho state or
der went Into effect, nu encouraging
statement was given out by the clly
health department, announcing a de
crease In the number of cases of In
fluenza, and predicting more optim
istic statements for the latter part of
the week. Meanwhile, the medical
authorities of tfie S. A. T. 15. at the
university were confident that the sit
uation at the university was under
control, although ono death occurred
at the university hospital Monday
morning.
Few Victims
The sick books of the various com
panies showed a comparatively small
number of victims for the infirmary
considering the fact that innoculatiins
and vaccinations were beginning
to "take." Medical authorities were
well pleased with the manner In
which the men conducted themselves
at the innoculation ceremonies last
Saturday, and announced that the next
one would occur next Saturday when
the men who were ill or absent last
Saturday will take their "shots."
Captain Buck of the medical de
partment appeared beftre S. A. T. C.
men on the athletic field Monday
afternoon, giving a short talk on per
sonal hygiene and essential precau
tionary measures to maintain the
health of men In the barracks.
SOLDIER BOYS PURCHASE
TWENTY THOUSAND IN BONDS
Government Installment . Plan
Proves Very Popular With .
Boys of S- A. T. C.
Twenty-one thousand dollars worth
of bonds have been purchased by the
various detachments of the S. A. T.
C. since Sunday, according to Lieuten
ant F. J. O'Neil, adjutant.
The government ruling allowing en
listed men to buy bonds by means of
monthly allotments proved very pop
ular with the soldier boys, and with
practically no solicitation. Nearly
every man at the university purchased
one of the bonds. The plan adopted
by government officials calls for an
allotment of pay of five dollars each
month until the bond is paid in full.
Lieutenant Murphy and his corps of
assistants we're as busy as cranberry
merchants all Sunday afternoon, but
were unable to accommodate all who
wished to buy because of the absolute
necessity of making the final report
and tabulation. before six o'clock Sun
day evening. Information relative to
the sale of the bonds did not arrive at
headquarters until Sunday forenoon,
and for this reason there was a mad
rush the last few hours of the sale.
At least two hundred who were de
sirous of buying, were unable to do so
because of the early closing.
A particularly singular fact con
cerning the bond campaign may be
noted In the amount of the Individual
subscriptions, as nearly all of the
bonds sold were of the fifty dollar
denomination. At least a thousand of
these small bono were sold. It Is es
timated. Approximately thirty thousand dol
lars was subscribed on the campus by
members of the faculty. This, togeth
er with the army subscription totals
well over fifty thousand dollars.

State Health Board Places Ban on
All Outdoor Meetings and
- Football to Suffer
Wesleyan and Cotner Were to En
counter Nebraska in New
Fancied Battle
Just like a big soap bubble, the pro
posed three-sided, double-barreled con
glomeration of football which was bill
ed for next Saturday afternoon on the
Nebraska gridiron, may pop into
smithereens. The Huskers were to
tackle the Cotner Bull-dogs in the first
half of the scramble and then turn on
the Coyotes from Wesleyan univer
sity in the second stage.
Arrangements were about complete
when the 6tate board of health stepped
in and placed a ban on all public
gatherings, whether held indoors or
nut in the nnen. Since a crowd of
spectators packed into the grand
stand on Nebraska field would be
classed as a public gathering, the
state board's order very naturally
looms up as a barrier before the Sat
urday fray.

S. A. T. C. MAKES BOW
BEFORE LOCAL PUBLIC
Sections "A" and "B" Led By
Band Parade Down "O"
Street Monday ,
"O" street paused in its evening
rush Monday to give recognition for
the first time to the men of the S. A.
T. C. battalion as they marcnea in
parade between the hours of five and
six o'clock. Six blocks of marching
soldiers, comprising the companies of
sections "A" and "B" passed before
the downtown throng at this time and
felt their first thrill of pride in ap
pearing" before the public as members
of a military organization.
The parade was informal but It
broke the monotony of the regular
five o'clock drill period, tl was the
first public appearance of section "A,"
formed in permanent companies.
Marching at attention only at every
other block, the men were permitted
to sing and otherwise display their
spirits in-the meantime.
Headed by the band, the companies
formed In regular formation and
marched south on Eleventh street to
"L," then east on "L" to Fourteenth
street, and north to "O" street, where
they turned west and marched to
Twelfth" when they again headed
"homeward" to Armory and barracks.
The formation was halted in front
of the Armory building where Captain
E. J. Maclvor took command. Here
retreat was sounded and The Star
Spangled Banner was played by the
band while The Stars and Stripes
were lowered from above "U" hall
for the coming night.
POLICIES FOR THE S. A. T.C.
DISCUSSED AT KANSAS CITY
Policies for the student army train
ing corps were discussed Monday, at
Kansas City by officials representing
the four S. A. T. C. districts west of
the Mississippi river, the army, and
the federal bureau of education.
Methods of co-operation between mil
itary Inspectors, educational directors,
and business managers 'were consid
ered. The northwestern district was rep
resented by Chancellor E. C. Elliot of
the University of Montana, and Presi
dent R. L. Wilbur of Leland Stanford
university, and J. E. Addlcut of San
having finally doped out a practice
bout for their pupils before they en
counter the Notre Dame athletes on
November 2. Nothing but capering
around on the M street green has been
on the Husker slate since the Iowa
game at the first of the season. Such
inactivity has made the players
itchlug to get at the throats of some
real formidable antagonist. A combat
as proposed for next Saturday would
to Just what the Cornhuskers have
been waiting for. No such stunt has
ever been pulled off In sport circles
before In which a team took on two
separate opponents in the sauie. en
gagement. Might Bar the Public
Inasmuch as the bout connected to
give the Huskers the much needed
practice before the Notre Dame tilt,
it may yet be put across. The public
might be denied admittance and the
teams fight it out behind closed gates,
and in this way it could not be class
ed as a public gathering. There still
is enough time to make the necessary
arrangements if they can be made,
and there is no need of worrying
about it now.
Team Prospect Bright
The football candidates gave a good
account of themselves in the Monday
workout at the M street yard and
Coach Kline expressed much satlsfac
tion at the prespects. Every member
of the squad responded at roll call
except captain Schellenberg, who was
just recovering from the effects of his
vaccination, and Left Guard Ross,
who was chalked up on the Monday
sick list.
Y. M. C. A. LEADS MEN IN
MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT
Army "Heme Makers" Start
Things Moving- Sunday Night
With Orchestra and Song
The V. M. C. A. tshowed its use in
the army tamp once more Sunday
night. The men were confined to the
barracks and quite necessarily re
quired some form of amusement. The
Y. M. C. A. stepped in and, assemb
ling the musicians of Company E took
them to the Social Science hall. Com
panies A. B, and C, and the S. N. T.
C. barracks. The men were assembled
in the hall and some very good play
ing followed.
There were a great many more real
ly good musicians than were expected.
Each company furnished some mater
ial for the orchestra, and they should
be commended upon their ability to
play together so well the first time.
Also the number of instruments was
remarkable. There were clarinets,
llutes, a cello, banjoes, fifes, a piano,
violin, slide trombone, cornets and
several other instruments necessary
for a good orchestra.
Among the crowd were several so
loists, jiggers and specialty dancers.
These brought forth much applause
and added much to the general pep
of the entertainment. A crowd of men
gathered Just south of the Armory en
Joying much the same form of amuse
ment as those in the barracks.
Too much cannot be said for the Y.
M. C. A. in the army camp. The men
are always glad to accept a leader In
any amusement and the Y. M. C. A.
secretaries are especially welcome as
they know Just what the men need
most in the line of good, wholesome
entertainment.
Monday evening the Y. M. C. A.
gave a picture show on the campus.
Francisco and Pacific Coast schools.
Washington representatives were alBO
at the meeting. The decisions reached
by the convention will no doubt have
far reaching results for all units of
the S. A. T. C. west of the Missis
sippi. AND THEN THE DELUGE
A Canadian soldier in London was
making his first call upon pretty
young London maiden.
"Do you have reindeer in Canada?"
asked the young lady,
"No. darling," he answered, "at this
season It always snows."

mended for officers, was given out
from Captain E. J. Maclvor's office
Monday night. These men were se

the commandant Saturday afternoon,
being chosen on their evident qualifi

cludes infantry, machine gun divis
ion, and field artillery, no distinction
being indicated at this time. The
exact time they will leave tor the va
rious officers' training camps is un
known to the authorities. It may be
a week or it may be a month accord

Military Board to Visit Post
In the near future a military board
will visit the S. A. T. C. camp at this
university to select these men recom
mended by Captain Maclvor and will
assign them to the training camps
for which they are best fitted. As
has been announced before, the par
ticular branch desired by the men
will be given much consideration since
it is thought by military authorities
that a man will do more efficient
work in the branch in which he has
especial Interest.
Spirits Kept Up
It is these calls for training camps
coming at frequent Intervals, that help
keep up the spirits of the men sta
tioned here. Knowing that there is
a chance to be called for bigger op
portunities the men put forth all the
effort possible in drilling to demand
recognition. There will be more calls
coming in continually, so the men who
havje not y?t received the always
looked for call, may continue to work
with the assurance that they still
have goon chances to enter some offi
cers' training camps.
