Make Plans Now . . .
Students planning travel during Christ
was vacation should make reservations at once
if they plan to use train service, according to
officials in charge of transportation.
Few restrictions have been placed upon
civilian travel during the holidays so we
should do our best to cooperate by making
reservations now or cancelling reservations if
we do not plan to use them.
Students are urged to take as little lug
gage as possible since trains will be crowded.
They should also accept the accommodations
cheerfully since students are lucky to get any
at all.
The army is on the move this Christmas.
Let's not do any travelling or travel that will
hamper in any manner the smooth movement
of men in uniform.

Give Them Credit . . .
Recognition, a prime requisite of good liv
ing, has not been neglected on this campus.
Every type and kind of endeavor is recognized
in some way and it is thru this recognition
that we are spurred on to harder work ond
harder play.
Members of the Phi Peta Kappa chapter
met last night with new students whom they
had invited to become members. This organ
ization recognizes the conscientious study and
Lard work of undergraduates in liberal arts
colleges. One of the oldest college fraternities,
Thi IJeta Kappa maintains a high standard of
membership and should be looked on as a
group deserving great praise.
Too often students laugh at individuals who
have exerted the time and effort for good
grades. Yet down beneath, most of these stu
dents who laugh would give an eye tooth to
wear the key of Phi Beta Kappa.
Congratulations from the entire campus
should be given to the students who were
honored at the dinner last night. we should
not lift eyebrows and sneer ;il honest endeavor.
We should be proud that some of our fellow
students have used their ability as it should
be used by hitting the books and pulling down
pood grades. It is because of these students
that the campus is able to keep its scholarship
standard high.
Without some organization such as Phi
Heta Kappa, many students, who do have the
ability, would not make the effort to maintain
high grades thruout their undergraduate
years. The organization is an incentive and
should appear worth while in the eyes of all
students and faculty on the campus.
The Daily Nebraskan congratulates the new
members. We cannot let down even during
the war, for until and after victory scholar
ship must be maintained if we are to be ade
quately trained for the jobs which await us.
Every freshman, sophomore and junior should
keep in mind that recognition by Phi Beta
Kappa is worth while and work to that end.

After Its Over
WASHINGTON (ACP) As colleges and universities
lose their young men to the services at an ever-increasing rate,
more and more attention is being directed to post-war educa
tional opportunities for those who will be veterans of World
War II.
After the last Avar, the government financed the education
and vocational training of only those veterans who suffered
injury during the war. This time the government's intentions
appear to be much broader.
When he recently appointed a committee to study the
problem, the president said nothing about wound-stripe pre
requisites for the post-war education of veterans-to-be. He
also referred to the educational policy of the last post-war
period as "provisional, thus indicating he thought it quite
inadequate.
He said that the plan this time should "enable the young
men whose education has been interrupted to resume their
schooling and afford equal opportunity for the training and
education of other young men of ability.."
That approach gives many enlightened educators reason to
hope that the war's aftermath will bring a revitalized educa
tional system, with selection of students based on ability rather
than economic privilege.
At any rate, it gives college students going into the army
some hope that there will be a concrete freedom awaiting
them at the end of "the road back."
Already, the "President's Committee on Post-War Educa
tion of students," as it is officially called, is wrangling about
details of the program which is a good sign. It indicates that
there is something in the wind worth arguing about ,and that
the committee is active.
Points at issue appear to be the question of how the plan
shall be financed, how long it shall be under the jurisdiction
of the army, and then whether its administration should be
under the Veterans Administration, the Office of Education,
or some new ogvermnent agency set up for the purpose.
Details of how college credits earned in pre-war days shall
be applied to a .student-veteran's record when he returns to
school, have been worked out by the American Council of Edu
cation here in Washington.
