For more than ten days the University Library has been reserved
for the use of S. A. T. C. and S. N. T. C. men from seven until ten
o'clock in the evening. During this time there has been an average
of about twenty-five men an evening who have taken advantage of
this privilege. When the Library was open to all University students,
there were, according to the Librarian in charge, more than seventy
five girls present every evening.
If the men need the Library the University girls are moe than
willing that they should have it, but it hardly seems fair to deprive
the women of the nse of the books that are so essential for some
courses, and of this place conducive to study; if the men either do not
need it or do not want it enough to come those to do their studying.
There have always been more women than men in the Library after
six o'clock. This year, since the Library has been closed to them, the
girls have suffered no little inconvenience in having to do al! their
reference and reading work during the day. For some who are carry
ing many hours it is almost impossible. It has necessitated the buy
ing cf extra books in many cases. It has also' occasioned the burning
of the "midnight oil' at home and in some instances an estrangement
between room-mates therefrom.
In all probability, if the men do not spend more of the evening
study hour in the Library hereafter, they will be denied the exclusive
right to the room and the girls admitted.
HIT AND SCOREI
There are more than two million American soldiers in Europe.
The war department figures that to equip and maintain an American
soldier in Europe costs four hundred and twenty-seven dollars and
twenty-seven cents a year. The bulk of them were sent over at the
rate of two hundred and fifty thousand a month by impressing the
world's shipping and so distributing it that transportation of Atr-erican
soldiers had first call. Getting them back will present no such tremen
dous exigency. It will take many months after war definitely ends.
That is only the most obvious item. We shall be paying war
costs in great sums for at least a year after the war is over. Under
the most fortunate possible circumstances there will be more Liberty
Bonds, issued on a scale that no government considered practicable
five years ago. For a long time the War Savings and Thrift Stamps
will be after your spare change as briskly as ever.
The end of the war will luring peace demands for capital such as
the most hopeful financier would have regarded as out of a fairy tale
a few years ago. The speed with which reconstruction is canied out
will depend directly upon the supply of capital.
There is a celebrated baseball case where a batter made ifce hit
that won the game only instead of cinching it by running to first
base he stuck his hands in his pockets and started leisurely io the
clu.bhoase, and so was put out, and the game was lost.
Anybody who lets go of a war-thrift habit because Germany
throws up her bands is repeating that ivory-headed play. He hits the
tall, but does not score a run. Saturday Evening Post.

Wasn't yesterday an ideal day for a
murder or something? And yet no one
seemed to take advantage of it.
We've worn a bald spot on the top
cf our honorable liead scratching it
in the hope of finding something funny
to say about the "mess" Uncle Sam
has ben serving of late. It's too
"Bad," we guess.
In a recent issue of the "University
Daily Kansas," some remarks were
cast which indirectly described Ne

remnants of things that might have
been worth while in balmier Cays.
They spoke of Husker lads as "Poor
S. A. T. C. dubs" who mistook the!
official "Heart, Schaffner & Murks" S.
A. T. C. hat cord (condemned by our
former commandant) as being officers' i
cord and saluting the wearers thereof.
The very groggy paragraprer who
wrote the above, also stated, that offi
cers at the Nebraska University post
wear wrap leggings only. If there is
an officer assigned to this post who
wears wrap leggings, he wears leather
puttees over them. The slouchy ap
pearance f "wrappers" let our Tate
commandant. Captain E. J. Maclvor, to
issue a -statement condemning the
wearing of such.
Considering the -condition of some
K. U. followers on the evening of the
day of their defeat, it is no wonder
that they were unable to distinguish
between leather puttees and "rpiral
caFing6!"
Ever since Methuseleh strangled on
that pecan parfalt, since Daniel whisk
ed the last bit of lions' fur from his
coat lapel, those who have suffered
the humiliation of defeat have never
failed to act suspiciously for indefi
nite periods following the "sting."

HAND GRENADES
Exclusive Frat Makes Initial Bow
Have you heard of he P. WYs:
Surely you know that the honorable
and esteemed brotherhood cf Physi
cal Wrecks have placed their Smoka
Cig chapter in our midst. A goodly
number have already been initiated,
and may be found at the chapter
house, commonly known as the U. S.
Infirmary.
Candidates for membership must
possess a hacking cough, and at least
ten symptoms of some alarming mala
dy. In these days of influenza, it is
not at all difficult to meet tbse re
quirements. A doctor's certificate
stating that you have at some time In
your earthly career, undergone a se
rious operation, may be substituted
for five of the symptoms.
The official pin of the organization
represents a pill-box through which is
thrust an axe, and the crest is the
skull and crossbores. The fraternity
anthem is "I Don't Wan't to Get
Well. With the exception of the
Nifty Knifer and the Grand Exalted
Thermometer Thruster, the officers
are kept secret. Although supiosodly
a secret, it is generally known that
;he pass word is a groan.
The sentiments of the fraternity
may be summed up in tbe following
parody on a well-known musical
classic:
Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust,-
If the "flue" doesn't get you,
The T. B.'s must.
Oh tell me how long
Must we wait,
Shall we get them now,
Or must we hesitate?

Women Assuming Mens' Positions
Miss Stearn's whole lecture endeav
ored to show bow the women of today
were keeping pace with the men in
the labor and Intellectual world and ex
pressed her desire that the women of
ihe country be encouraged to take part
in public affairs to a greater extent.
She favors woman's suffrage as a
ratural right of women since they are
doing as much or more than the men
if tbe country !t practically all lines
of work.
She spoke last evening before the
Womens club convention is tbe city.
It s indeed a great privilege lor
tbe Nebraska women to bear ber.
