CHARTER DAY The semi centennial anniversary of the University will come and K0 tomorrow without the accompaniment of brass bands, firing guns, or fourth of July oratory. None but a few pioneer Cornhuskers, will be cognizant of the passing of this significant event in Nebraska history It is characteristic of momentous days, that they slip by us without causing' unusual disturbance. Another day has gone and that is all The rapid life of today, attended with the swift changing of events indeed with the reformation of the world, offers litUe time for quiet 'reflection upon the weighty events of the past When men of today are shaping history with each passing moment, small won der that we ponder lightly on those occurences which were the land marks of fifty years ago. But in the mad rush onward, we should pause a moment today, and consider what the laying of the corner stone of University Hall, has meant to us all. It has meant free education, greater opportuni ties a better life. For these and many more benefits, we are In debted to our State; iut more especially to those legislators of fifty years ago, who were broad enough of mind and spirit to recognize that the coming generation of the State needed the advantages of higher education. Some time next May we will be given the opportunity to cele brate the founding of our University. At that time we will take part in the program that is being planned for the semi-centennial Bervices A great pageant will portray the leading events connected with the history of Charter Day. We may with-hold then, our thoughts of gratefulness toward the founders of our alma mater, until Semi centennial Day. A STEP TOWARDS UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING All friends of universal military training rejoice at the state ment issued by the War Department that, with the demobilization of the Students' Army Training Corps, our colleges need not give up their connection with military training, but, instead, may again turn their attention to the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. A student may volunteer for membership in the R. O. T. C. except in those institutions, such as the land grant colleges, where military educa tion is compulHory. Before the war there were one hundred and fifteen units of this corps in the various colleges. About one hundred of these are now being reestablished; indeed, applications have been received for some two hundred new units. Hence something like three-fifths of the five hundred institutions which have been represented In the Students' Arrny Training Corps can start with units of the R. O. T. C. A large part of the equipment used in the various institutions for the S. A. T. C. is to be kept and used for the R. O. T. C. In any case, the Government will supply sufficient equipment fully to meet the requirements of all units and will detail experienced army officers with the necessary enlisted personnel to conduct the work. During the academic year most of the time allotted to the mili tary department will be devoted to theoretical instruction, mass ath lotics, and other physical training. At the summer camps the main feature will of course be intensive practical training. The particular type of unit infantry, cavalry, artillery, aviation, medical corps, signal corps, etc. to be established at any institution will be determined by the wishes of the institution's authorities and its facilities for carrying on the special branch assigned to it. Credits are given for work in the military department of an educational institution. These credit points will have due weight with the credits given in the academic work and will count on graduation requirements. We are specially glad to add that, in addition to collegiate units, junior units are being established in secondary schools. In Boston, Chicago, Denver, and other cities high school corps have already been established. Indeed, ah.tost any educational institution can adopt military training under the War Department's supervision. The department's committee on education and special training will be pleased to consider any such applications. Outlook. UNI NOTICES PRICE CHANGES IN CIVIL AND PRESENT WAR Striking Similarity Brought Out by War Industries Board Bulletin. A striking similarity In the move ment of prices during the Civil War, s compared with the present war, is brought out in the January number of the Monthly Labor Review, published by the Buref.u of Labor Statistics, United States Department of Labor. The chief differences in the price movements as between the two wars are that the rise began earlier in the Civil War, that it was more pro nounced than in the pivsent war, and that the fall began earlier. The basic chart shows wholesale price fluctuations for 2 commodities by quarters from January, 1861, to Oc tober, 1866, and for the same articles or the nearest equivalents by quarters from January, 1914, to July, 1918. The quotations were reduced to relatives on a basis of 100 for prices In 1860. For averages medians are used that is, the median for a date Is the middle point in a scale of prices ranged In order from lowest to highest.
