By Marsa Lee Civin. A letter reached Lincoln from Fred C. Farr '17 dated "Somewhere in France Sept. 29, 1917." He writes, "We've been in our present camp about three weeks. I don't know how much longer we will stay here. I hope we move soon as I'm anxious for action. We have a pretty good place here and have access to picture shows held in an old barn. We see American films featuring Charlie Chaplin and Fatty Arbuckle. Weather is beautiful during the day, but the nights are beastly. "Send the Rag if possible. Flease say howdy to the boys, folks, and neighbors." New Red Cross Class. Faculty women attended a new Red Cross class at Nebraska Hall under the direction of Miss Hel en Radford of the geology department who was a former Red Cross nurse. An oral quiz was held at the beginning of each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday meeting and record of all theoretical and practical work done was kept. Receipts of the play "The Piper" were given to the French War Orphans' Fund. 250 students, faculty members met at the YWCA to better prepare themselves for the task sf raising the Nebraska university appropriation of 15,000 for the YMCA war relief work in foreign countries. Is NYA a Part Of National Defense? According to Robert F. Moore, secretary of appointments at Columbia university, the emergency that made necessary the national youth administration as a relief measure for students has passed and it is his opinion that "the allotment of NYA funds for college students may well be withdrawn and used to much better advantage for purposes of na tional defense." It is indoubtedly true that the nation has passed from one emergency into another, but it is also true that there are many deserving students who need cash paying jobs in order to continue their education. This fact was proven by the poll recently conducted by the Daily Nebraskan on the working conditions of students at the University of Nebraska. The NYA allotment for this year totalled $48,521 at the university which will provide employment for approximately 450 students on the city and ng campuses and at the medical college in Omaha. The original allotment for the university was $58,305, but it was cut to an amount $;16,000 less than the funds allotted for the 40-41 school year. Mr. Moore has taken a very shortsighted position with regard to the place of education during wartime. To cut NYA allotments to practically nothing will accomplish negative results both in the long and short run. Even if there are more jobs open now, those which fit into a student's scholastic schedule are no more numerous than they were before the war emergency. Also, many of the colleges and universities over the nation are located in com paratively small cities wTiere potential ettir ployment does not equal the potential amount of student labor. This difference between the labor and employment docs not equal the po tential amount of student labor. This differ ence between the labor and employment po tential must be met thru agencies like the na tional youth administration. If NYA allotments are eliminated, many students will be denied an education not only valuable to themselves, but also to . their country. Colleges and universities are de signed to produce leaders. Let's not curtail the production of leaders at a time when leader ship is so essential to our war effort and to quell the confusion which always results after a major conflict whether ending in victory or defeat.

All graduates of the uni versity who, in 1942, will have completed all requirements, includ ing a summer camp, will be com missioned upon graduation. How ever, those who have not com pleted a summer camp, but who have otherwise met all require ments, must complet satisfac torily the basic course at the ap propriate special service school after graduation before they are commissioned. Degree Requirement Waived. It was also announced that the requirement of a college degree before appointment may be waived in special cases. Any student who has met all ether requirements, has completed all prescribed ROTC training, and has been recommended for ap pointment by PMS&T Thuis, and when the chief of the branch in which the commission is to be issued recommends waiver, would fall into this special category. A limited number of qualified ROTC graduates of the junior . units military school s u p o n graduation will be permitted to at tend the basic course at the ap propriate special service school. Upon satisfactorily completing the course they will be commissioned, Dr. Schultz Talks To Beatrice Club Appearing before the Beatrice Kiwanis club, Dr. C. B.

No Active Duty Deferment. "Effective immediately and re voking previous instructions on the subject," the release continued, "no deferment of active duty will nor mally be granted to reserve of ficers newly appointed from ROTC units." Only exceptions to this no-deferment rule are medical students re quired to serve as internes in med ical institutions for qualification to medical practice, and to other students who require additional time to complete normal academic courses for degrees as anticipated at appointment. A delay of not more than 10 days, however, may be granted at the discretion of the ordering authorities. Last summer, the university's advanced ROTC students attended camps at Fort Leavenworth, Kas., and Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. 6 Free Social Dancing Lessons MRS. JOHN CHAMPE, Instructor 6:45-8:00 P.M.

What they saw was these here people walking around and talking around on that there stage in a setting which pretty -near sent chills up and down their spines just from sittin' there and lookin at it. It represented an old isolated farmhouse on the bank of the Thames marshes in England. After a little while what these here people saw was somebody come out on the stage when every body else was away from the house.

At one time, straps attached to the bottom held trousers down. When straps ceased to be used, plain bottom trousers became fashionable. Men walking through the country turned the bottoms up, to avoid under brush and to keep them clean. Gradually cuffs were adopted for town wear.

As the retired chorus girl whose morals had improved with age, Phyllis Welch handled her linea capably, and Max Whittaker, as cockney Albert, gave his part the essential cunning to insure a good performance. Maribel Hitchcock gave her usual unusually good perform ance as Lucy, the saucy maid; and the role of Sister Theresa, played by Martha Ann Bengston, caught audience appeal for its simplicity and directness. t WwHiJ w Not exact Illustration.
