And now that that's taken care of, we want to know who's been giving out stories about 12 Sig Alphs who've enlisted for their country's defense. . .Soldier-Beta John Stod dard won't be around for the Mor tar Board party... His Uncle Sam requested that he be in Fort War ren Friday, and Stod's no one to argue... The Delta Gammas are stocking.up on food for the Inno cents. . .They're coming to dinner Thursday night... Now that foot ball season is over, the strong stal wart players are taking over the grill: Bob Cooper, Joe Byler, Kenny Simmons, Bob Deviney and Herb Von Goetz all in one after noon and with dates!

They don't want him sitting at home that night... Phi Psi Hugh Sawyer, who's always seemed kinda shy to us, is going by the name of "Sugar" now. . . Confess. Emery Burnett and Jean Kirk patrick claim they're not going steady, but their friends say other wise... Corn Cobs wil take their dates barn-dancing Friday night. Don Steele will squire Alpha Chi Lois Scofield and Max Laughlin will take KD Georgia Kohler. .

(ACP). Even lawyers can do with a little advice, it appears, when it comes to the puzzling job of filling out Income tax returns. University of Minnesota will of fer in December a postgraduate legal course in income taxation. Lawyers and public administrators qualified as tax experts will nssist law school professors as instruc tors. Topics considered will include computation of taxes due, methods of tax collection, classes of tax payers created by new statutes, permissible deductions from gross income, the meaning of gross in come, credits against net income and means of recovering tax over payments.

Time Marches On More Coufusiu' Thau Aniusm' It's Old Papa Time really has many persons in the world baffled at this moment especially since the war situation has turned the at tention of students from movies, dancing and coking to foreign radio reports. When we sit down to our lunch here in Lincoln, friends in Hono lulu are turning off their 7:30 a. m. alarms, while those in Lon don sit down to their 6 p. m. roast beef and plum pudding dinner. The sun. cause for all this time difference, can be said to rise at 7:30 a. m. and set at 4:30 p. m. on an average all over the world which gives an average of nine hours of daylight. Time differences are listed be- Students Make Money, But Lose Sleep Doing It (By Associated Collegiate Press.) "Sleep late, and let the Mer cury Book service return your overnight books to any campus library before 9 a. m. That is the appeal being made by two enterprising Brown uni versity students who are setting up a book-returning service for a price, of course. The entrepreneurs, vmceni J. Luca and William P. Saunders, figure that many students would rather pay a nickle to be sure their books are returned on time than pay the library's fine of 10 cents for every 15 minutes that reserve book is overdue.

Ranks (Continued from P.;ige 1.) to operate in spite of the low draft age. Their membership was composed of men below 18 and those deferred for various reasons. According to Scott, "The going was tough then and would probably be tougher now since fraternities today have more expensive chapter houses." In the fall of 1918, the govern ment instituted what is known as class deferment. Under this plan the STAC, Student Army Training Corps, was established on the cam pus. A dental, medical, engineer ing, pharmacy and veterinary unit were formed. Under this system any man who entered any one of these fields en listed in the STAC as a regular army man. He was required to take about 54 hours per week and spend most of the rest of his time drilling. STAC enrollees lived in barracks on the campus. Lyman Advises. The purpose of the plan accord ing to Dr. R. A. Lyman (who went to Washington in the fall of 1918 as an adviser in formulating the pharmacy division of STACi, the system was worked out as a means of keeping students in the "na tional defense" fields in school. The university circularized the state Inviting boys who would not otherwise have come to college, to go to school and escape the regu lar draft mechanism by enrolling in the STAC. The difficult y with this plan, according to Lyman, was that 1 "Saij Jt Willi JLrj" I E WE ARE jit h WELL SUPPLIED WITH JJ B FLOWERS $ FOR YOUR NEEDS ; DaiiielsoH Floral Co Towne Club.

To cram war- important aviation with greater power and "kick" elaborate chem ical engineering experiments are under way at the University of Texas. The research has as its ultimate end finding better ways to design gasoline cracking plants, and and everv day Dr. W. A. Felsing, chemistry department head, and his assistants are literally weag ing apart the various components of airplane fuel. As a result of the research Felsing and his workers will soon know the behavior of aviation gas oline and its components under all sorts of conditions. Purpose of the investigation of pressure and volume reiationsnips of the fuels at high temperatures is to get data to correlate the physical properties of the hydro carbons with their structure. The data may prove helpful in design ins new distillation and fractiona tion plants to turn out better gas oline for uncle sam s aeiense air craft. Samples of hydrocarbons for testing are supplied the university by the American Petroleum Insti tute, now spending some $80,000 a year to synthesize hard-to-get separate gasoline compontnts in purs enough form to study their physical qualities. many men entered training in one of the defense industries noc oe cmse thev wanted to practice in that particular work but rather because they wanted lo evaae me draft. Frosh Numbers Fall. He noints out that in Sept., 1918, the time of the adoption of the STAC plan, there were 27 fresh men registered in pharmacy col lege. In Dec, after the signing of the Armistice and the abolition of STAC, only three lreshmen re mained in the college. Because of that experience, se lective service headquarters now makes a policy of deferring in fields vital to national defense on the basis of individual case inves tigation. Men Will Remain. Local draft boards are -today in structed to "direct men into chan nels where they will be most useful for national defense." Under such a system it is still conceivable that considerable number of male stu dents will remain on the campus whether the draft age is lowered or not. According to engineering Dean O. J. Ferguson, a man in engineer ing is usually deferred under the present draft laws if the quality of his work is certified by the depart ment. Dean Ferguson Comments. Asked whether he thought un derclassmen in engineering caught by the draft by lowering the age to 18 would be deferred. Dean Fer guson said: "Trained men are more useful to the nation than half-trained men. We must take a long time perspective; this war will be a matter of years, not months. We cannot turn out grad uating seniors unless we have jun iors and sophomores und freshmen." 1 IB I Ti fm K . 4 tiw I AFTER BURNING MIDNIGHT OIL!
