fie DaiAf Vol. 41, No. 121 Lincoln, Nebraska Thursday, April 2, 1942 University Asks Men If They Want ROTC in Summer School A proposed plan to add classes in military science to the summer school curriculum has been submitted to all military science students for their approval. The survey is being made to determine the feasability and practicability of carrying mili tary science courses during the long session of summer school this summer. A special form has been designed by the military department and issued to the cadets to obtain a negative or positive opinion from them. It is felt that this year many conditions which are not normally present will influence students to register for summer school. The military department has taken this action to co-operate wtih the students in enabling thcin to procure their requirements for a degree in a much shorter time. Courses under consideration for sunyner school will be those usually offered during the. spring months of the normal academic year. Open to infantry students are courses: 2, 4, 106 and 108. Open to engineering students are courses: 22, 24, 126 and 128. Open to field artillery students are courses 42, 44, 146, 148. Under normal conditions it would take eighteen weeks to complete each of these courses. Since the summer school lasts a max imum of nine academic weeks, the number of hours a week that will be necessary to devote to these courses will be: for courses 2 to 44, five hours of sixty minutes each, and for courses 100 to 148, eight hours of sixty minutes each. As to collegiate eligibility to take these courses, it will be necessary for cadets to carry three to six credit ho"urs other than military science courses. Council -Picks Up As Elections Near Centered around a barb contingent of no small number, last night's Student Council meeting once more began to show a bit of -spirit. Two vacancies in the council membership were filled by barb replacements, both women. After the usual questioning as to their interest in student government, Eleanor Paulson and Rachel Stevenson were both appointed to membership, the latter representing the graduate school and the former being a senior at large. Having gained these two positions, Bill Dafoe barb leader, seemed still unsatisfied and wor ried as he suggested that Burton Thiel, president, personally ap prove further replacements before the election of council hold-overs next week. Thiel, however, as sured him that all replacements would be considered before the holdever election. Politics took a blow when ap proval was given to a plan for having open-filing among all stu dent qualified for the vacant posi tions on the Student Union board. A committee within the council will review applications and recommend candidates to the council who will select two men and one woman for the board, all to be affiliated. Filings for these positions open today and will close April 8, any student thus being able to file. After Thiel became incensed to the point of lecturing the members as a whole for disinterest in coun cil business, next week's meeting with its holdever election pro mises to see council action finally get hot. Not a Fence On the Mall Badminton No, they're not building a fence on Memorial Mall to make stu dents used to cutting across between Sosh and points north walk around it's badminton. With the appearance of nine white posts, each over five feet tall on the mall yesterday, the unanimous verdict was, "aha' a fence thru the middle of the mall." but the posts are their to support nets for eight badminton courts to be used by the girls' gym classes this spring. Association, Once Hotly Criticized, Again Begins Operations on UN Campus "Winning a decision over the Federal Trade Commission last summer, the Eductors Association, incorporated of New York City, has again begun operations on the UN campus after being the target of hot criticism here several years ago. Last week, the Association's Lincoln representative, Evelyn Taplett, 606 Terminal building, issued a call for 25 students for employment this summer. Work was described as "selling following a period of training." According to the Lincoln Better Business Bureau, the work entails sales of the association's "Volume Library" over a cer tain territory. Guaranteed salary is $180 if 576 hours of work has been completed if the student does not violate the contract in any manner. There is also an arrangement for a 30 percent commission system which the student can take advantage of instead of the flat salary if he wishes. Group of Scholars? The Association's trouble with the Federal Trade Com mission which originally issued a cease and desist order pro hibiting among other things, "the representation, thru the use of the trade name 'Educators' Association' and otherwise, that the respondent constituted a group of scholars or educators (See ASSOCIATION, page 2.)

Patterson Says Religion ustains Marriage Ideals "To most people the church has art important part in two periods of life marriage and their burial service," said Dr. Charles Patterson yesterday speaking at the third in the mar riage series. "But there is a part to he played between these two pe riods," said the speaker. Dr. Patterson's subject was the rela tion of religion to marriage and he was speaking of the com mon use of the churches by many who attend only occasionally. Dr. Patterson pointed out the ideals set up in the past two lectures and said that it is one thing to have such ideals about unselfishness and loving one another, but it is a different mat ter to live up to these ideals day after day and year after year. This is the place where religion has its part. In a modern translation a passage concerning the Lord reads "I am the rock and the song." Religion is just that, said the speaker, a rock to hold us steady and a song to lift us up. Religion Is Loyalty. "The essence of religion is loyalty to something worth full." This means something to put your trust in and he quoted an article in a popular magazine dealing with divorces and said that in one place in bold face type was printed these words : (See PATTERSON, page 2.)
