S. A. T. C. and S. N. T. C. to
Spend Vacant Periods in Su
vervised Class Preparation
Faculty Members Appointed to
Re-Arrange Schedules Drill
Periods Shortened
According to the latest ruling of
the war department, the curriculum
oieach member of the S. A. T. C. and
S N. T. C. Is to be rearranged so as
to make the work of every student
more efficient and systematic. Plans
are being formulated for compulsory
study periods, during the students
vacant periods. Every member of the
S. A. T. C. and S. N. T. C. Is required
to hand in a daily schedule, showing
his hours of drill, recitation and lab
oratory periods. The committee will
then arrange his 6tudy periods, for the
time that is not occupied otherwise.
Tbis order affects all the members of
the S. A. T. C. and S. N. T. C. both
at the university farm and the city
campus.
More Time For Study
The purpose of this new arrange
ment is to make the work uniform and
to avoid loss of time for the students
due to poorly arranged schedules. It
is especially desirable that the sol
diers and sailors put more time in
class preparation. The original plans
for the maintenance of the S. A. T. C.
and S. N. T. C. have to be changed,
due to the fact that the army is be
ing placed on a peace footing. The
purpose of these organizations was to
prepare the men for immediate ser
vice along scientific lines, such as en
gineering, and also to furnish officer
material. For that reason more stress
was placed on military drill at the be
ginning of the semester, and class
work was secondary in importance.
Now since the issues of the war' have
changed, it is the desire of the gov
ernment, that those who enrolled for
military work should avail themselves
of the opportunity to secure a good
college education, and prepare them
selvea for useful pursuits in civilian
life. Consequently drill periods will
be shortened, and more time will be
devoted to class Work preparation.
The government, regulation calls for.
eleven hours of drill for freshmen, and
ix hours a week for upperclassmen.
The remainder of the time is to be
'Pent in laboratory .work, recitation
nd study. Only one hour's recreation
i!l be allowed daily.
Faculty to Supervise .
Members of the faculty will super
vise the classes during study periods.
The work of putting this plan into ef
fect is in charge of Acting Chancellor
Hastings, Dean Ferguson and Dean
p8berg. A committee consisting of
Professors Clarke E. Mickey, Geo. W.
Hood, I. O. Rankin, Allan H. Stubbs

After twenty-four hours' torture

Primitive Form of Dancing
Proves Popular With Gobs
During the drill hours Friday morn
ing, the dry land gobs, not content
with imitating the S. A. T. C.'s in their
military drill, took the initiative in
calesthenics, which "are destined to
increase in popularity. It is not cer
tain what these innovations in naval
circles ae properly termed, but locally
they were known as "duck step" and
"turkey waltz." The gobs deny ru
mors of being associated with any
school of dancing, presumably to avoid
being overwhelmed with requests
from the co-eds for dancing lessons.
It was stated, however, by on lookers
wha watched the naval performance
Friday morning, that, by virtue of
their graceful action, the "gobs" bid
fair to outdo their associates in ter
psichorean art. Jazzing the arms is
. .r.Hvolv mild characteristic
action of the sailors compared with
their latest fad. The gODs are
to be popular at Saturday and Sun
day entertainments for their latest
preliminary training on drill fields is
V... - nvlmlllTI form of the present
complicated system of amusement now
exhibited In our aance n.
ever, as naval drill sergeants will not
tclerate variety of movement as most
tiants of someone's "payday" and
hereby saving his entire company
from week-end confinement at the
post.
Last Thursday evening the com
plaint was made by several members
of Company "D" that money had been
taken from their clothing the previous
night. This being a very serious
offense In the army as well as In civ
ilian life the matter was at once taken
'up by the authorities of that company.
In the evening after mess, a large cir
cle of all "D" men was made In the
chapel, all lights turned off and the
privilege of throwing the money to the
center of the ring was given to the
man who had taken it. This plan wan
done twice with no result.
That was the only thing whic h could
be offered at that time and the pun
ishment was placed upon the whole
company of staying on the post, and
ruceiving no week-end passes. It was
a pretty blue bunch of men in that
companv on last Friday evening, to
say the least.
The man who purloined the coin
would not see the whole company suf
fer for his blunder, however, ard that
evening at taps an envelope lay on the
first sergeant's bed with the total
amount enclosed. The wrong was
righted, at least to a certain degree,
the bars were raised and week-end
passes granted.
SIX HOURS PER WEEK
FOR MITITARY DRILL
Order From the War Department
Announces a Change in the
Military Program
An order to diminish the total
amount of military instruction and
place greater emphasis on physical
trainiffg was received from the war
department, committee of training and
education, by Acting Chancellor Hast
ings, Friday. This ruling must go into
effect sometime before the first of
January and the definite date will be
decided upon at the meeting of the
deans and military authorities Mon
day. The hours per week given to the
military program will be: Drill, six
hours; inspection and ceremonies,
two hours; theoretical military in
struction, one hour; a total of nine
hours. .
The six hours' drill will be divided
into three periods of two hours each,
and will be held in the afternoon. In
accordance with training memorandum
number one half of the time allotter
. (Continued on page 2)
floor managers, the gobs have to be
content with following the limitations
set down in drill manuals.
The weather was ideal and the con
dition of the drill field was suggestive
of some novelty in drill movements.
The wet snow that had fallen daring
the morning, was Boon firmly packed
as several companies passed by, re
sulting in a smooth, glazed surface.
Naturally, the execution of orders
often proved disastrous. Some crept
along cautiously, never once heeding
the call of the officers, "eyes off the
ground." Others with hob-nailed shoes,
waltzed along with ease.
- Friday morning the drill was full of
hazards and perils, but no serious ac
cident happened. It was comparative
ly east to halt, provided one stopped
where he intended to. "To the" rear,
march," resulted in some pretty ex
hibitions of aerial loop the loops. In
many instances the result of two
forces coming into contact was not
only proven but felt. Orders for dou
ble time were not given, as most move
ments were executed in that fashion,
regardless of the efforts of everyone
to keep right side np. No one, how
erer, was known to complain, as all
welcomed the first rnowfall.
HORSESHOES Will
FOR CAMP DODGE
Corrrhuskers Play Rings Around
Iowa Soldiers But Luck is
Against Them .
r r 1
Thrice Threaten Coal But Meet
Stonewall Cypreanson Re
turns to Fold
I T
Battling thfir way down the icy
field to the very shadow of the goal
posts on three different occasions,
only to ram into a stone wall each
time, the Nebraska Cornhuskers went
down to defeat before the Camp Dodgo
Soldiers Saturday afternoon, hanging
onto the short end of a 23 to 7 score.
The speedy back field of the visit
ors which were lugging a chain of
horseshoes throughout the game was
responsible for the drubbing. The
ftrst touchdown credited o the visit
ors was made on a fluke, the ball get
ting away from Howarth on receiving
a punt, and rolling over the goal line
where left halfback Lynch fell on it.
The second score was rung up by
Coughlin. who received a pass from
Movald and sprinted 45 yards through
the Nebraska defense and across the
goal. The third and final towohdown
was again charged to Coughlin who
broke through the Unr, and. tore 62
yards down the field and planted the
oval behind the postr for the last tally.
Huskers Also Flukey
Nebraska also clanked some horse
shoes in scoring her only touchdown
after a costly fumble on the 5 yard
line. From the middle of the field, a
pass from Hartley to Swanson netted
11 yards and then Reynolds reeled off
25 more, bringing the ball to the
Dodgers' 5 yard line, only to lose it on
the riext play when Reynolds fumbled
and Dodge recovered. The Huskers
broke through the line when Movald
tried to punt out of danger and block
ed the kick, the ball rolfing over the
chalk marks where Swanson fell on it.
The extra three points were made at
the beginning of the last quarter
when Movald dropkicked a beautiful
goal from the 35 yard line.
Soldiers Get the Jump
The Huskers clearly outplayed the
visitors throughout -the entire game
and costly fumbles and pure luck on
the part of the soldiers lost the game
for Nebraska. The score by quarters
would indicate that the Dodgers had
got the jump on the Cornhuskers early
in the game and sort of took the wind
out of the home boys' sails, but cold
statistics prove that Nebraska dis
played by far the more brilliant brand
of football.
In the first place, the Huskers car
ried the ball a total of 387 yards on
straight plunging and passing, while
the Dodgers have a mere total of 180
yards gained to show for their work,
which includes 45 and 62 yard runs.
The Huskers also returned 93 yards
on punts against 56 for the visitors,
and even then suffered the loss of 75
yards in penalties to 35 Tor the Sol- -diers.
Playing was in Dodger territory
most of the game and the ball was in
the possession of the Cornhuskers
two-thirds of the time. During the
entire second quarter, the Iowa men
had the pigskin in their hands only
three times and on each occasion they
punted on the following play.
So Near But Yet So Far
Nebraska came within, an ace of
crossing the goal line in the first part
of the second quarter. At the referee a
whistle, the ball was put in play on
the 40 yard line and a steady march
was inaugurated with all the hack
field, with the help of Hubka, taking
turns at carrying the oval. They
marched straight down the fi&id in
steps of from 3 to 10 yards and reach
ed the one foot line before they were
halted. Here the Camp Dodge defense
anchored to the sod and the ball was
lost on downs.
