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

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 :
