General Pershing's Return Arouses
Reminiscences of His Nebraska Work
General John J. Pershing, who will
address the University at convoca
tion today, was at one time the Com
mandant of the R. O. T. C. unit at
the University of Nebraska. That
time was over thirty years ago, how
ever, and then the General had a
rank of lieutenant. His popularity
at the school was great, and the
Military Department improved very
much with his coming. One writer
says:
"He is the strictest of disciplinar
ians, as proved by the final subjec
tion of the band to discipline. The
member had become notorious for
their walk They had baffled the
effort f all previous commandants.
No two of them had ever been seen
by human eyes to keep step. Their
marches were suitable simultaneous
ly to Chang and Tom Thumb. All
has changed now."
General Pershing was in charge of
the Nebraska battalion (there were
only four companies then,) for two
years, 1891-92. He wa also Instruc
tor in mathematics. A story Is told

TRAFFIC SIGNALS TO
AID CAMPUS TRAVEL
Automatic Light at Twelfth and R
Streets May Be In Operatlctt
In a Few Days
The traffic situation at the inter
section of Twelfth and K streets,
which has for so long neen troubling
the university authorities, is soon to
be remedied, according to the state
ments of E. E. Duncan, commission
er of streets and public improve
ments. This remedy wi'l be in the
form of one of the automatic traffic
signals such as are in operation in
the down-town business district of
the city.
Early last spring univers'ty author
ities made the request that such
traffic control equipment be instal
led. At the time they were promised
that this would be done. It has not
been possible to install the signais
earlier because the city did not have
the equipment but a few days time
should see the "lights" in operation.
Increased automobile traffic " on
Twelfth and R streets and the in
creased number of students attend
ing the University make this traffic
signal a necessity.
