According to several Associated Press dis patches, the Seventh Service Command dis closed Friday that the army's specialized training program is expected to get under way about March 15. The first official declaration as to how the specialized training program may operate when it does go into effect, it served only to confirm their arguments in the activation of the KRC. University officials said they had received no word from army headquarters. When questioned further, one official felt that the story appearing in Friday evening's Lin coln Journal, regarding emplacement of col lege students under specialized training was purely ungrounded information. Officials Visiting Campus. A number of army officials have, however, visited the campus recently, visiting various facilities for such purposes, it is believed. It is assumed the new Don Love Memorial li brary will probably be converted into a dormi tory to house the students. The dispatch further stated that student engineer units will number cither 400 or 500 men, divided into classes to study the several types of engineering work most useful in the military service. Six hours a week will be de voted to physical conditioning which will per mit most of the schools to maintain their physi cal education staffs under the terms of the contract with the war department, army offi cials said.

In Two-Day Session With more than 150 students from North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska participating, the two-day annual intercollegiate de bating and discussion conference Don'tGoMad: Less Clothes More Stylish From recent indications at downtown stores, Nebraska stu dents have forgotten how to be in style. With the trend of the war, it is not the stylish thing, now the patriotic thing, to fluctuate with rationing rumors. Such rumors are bound to fill the ears of Americans, witness the sugar, coffee, and gas ra tioning scares before the actual event when stores were depleted time and again. Don't let Quisling or Hitler ian rumors make you one of the mad throng of hoarding Ameri cans! Keep your head. When the government decides to ration anything, it no longer is the stylish thing, nor the patriotic thing, to have such articles, ex cept in the percentage all Amer icans have them. PMS&T. Brigade staff of the regiment includes Richard J. Arnold, cadet colonel; Francis L. Cox, cadet lieutenant colonel; Charles T. Whit, cadet lieutenant colonel; Robert W. Schlater, cadet lieutenant colonel; John J. Douglass, cadet lieutenant colonel j and James II. Stuart, cadet lieutenant colonel. Other promotions and assignments are: here ended yesterday afternoon.
