The first contingent of soldiers to be sta tioned arrived on the campus yesterday nootu They, the first of the many groups which will probably be on the campus before the end of this year, we welcome sincerely and with as much sincerity, we say: AND WE'LL BE GLAD WI1KN YOU'RE GONE! We don't mean "you" in terms of you men who have just arrived. By "you," we refer to the hundreds of men who will follow you when you leave for flight training, to the sol diers who will be on the campus until the war is over. That is why we'll be glad when you're gone, for when you are gone, the war will be over. There will no longer be a need for men to live in a building intended for books, for any of the inconsistencies of war. So to the fellows just off other campuses who now make their home here, we say wel come. We welcome you with the hope that your group and our group the fellows and girls who are still in school will get along in the best of terms. And we should, for after all we are all students with common interests only you are in uniform, we in civvies awaiting call. Welcome to Nebraska! We hope that you learn a lot that will contribute toward making you better fliers, and that somehow or other you will have a helluva good time. Positive Action Vital From Kansas State college comes word that the administration there has put the damper on K-State's hopes to participate fully in the new army specialized training program. In insisting that the women's dormitory not be offered to the army, the official's action, says the Kansas State Collegian may "produce consequences that the school will always re gret. Five hundred or more trainee engineers will not be stationed here as a result of the action. Five hundred new army men would be a lifesaver to the school, giving jobs to scores of faculty members and letting many depart ments continue in a near normal manner." There has been no evidence of backwardness in the action of Nebraska's administrative of ficials in regard to the army specialized train ing program. Altho contracts have not yet been signed, the university has been already approved as a possible site for a unit. We hope that the positive policy will be con tinued, that the action taken at Kansas States will not be the pattern for planning here. We don't think there is much need for V,., Mail Clippings Pat Chambertin, Censor V-Mail quotes from an anonymous post card: "Censor, you forgot a very important thing in the V-Mail the other day. You forgot to say that DAN BABCOCK is a Sigma Nu." DAN BABCOCK is a Sigma Nu. The postcard "went on to say that DICK McDOUGAL of Brown Palace Co-op also en listed in the Naval V.-5 plan at the same time as Dan. Both men will be transferred to Class V-.r), naval aviation cadet, as soon as they reach their 18th birthdays. Then they will begin training as a flying officer in either the Naval Reserve or the Marine Corps Re serve. 1 JEAN' T. LACY has been promoted to the rank of a sergeant at Tinker Field, Oklahoma. He is assigned as a clerk with an air base squadron. While at Nebraska he was a mem ber of Sigma Phi Epsilon. . " New pilots wearing silver wings grad uated from Randolph Field, Texas include LT.

Dwight Wesley Lambert and Kenneth Ed ward Millard have completed training in the Medical Replacement Training Center, Camp Barkeley, Texas, and were commissioned sec ond lieutenants in the Medical Administrative Corps. The MAS's. as these officers are called, will take over non-medical functions formerly performed by army doctors and dentists, thus releasing them for purely medical and surgical duties with field troops. The MAC's are as suming supply, training, personnel and other administrative jobs. concern. We have confidence that UN heads have wisely decided that Nebraska must go all out in the army collegiate war program. That is the best thing as far as the army and the university is concerned. Tossing to Be Done Continuance of the liberal arts after the war seems evident. A statement by W. Prewitt Ewing, national president of the William Jewell colege alumni association, contributes something more to think about in connection with the subject. He said recently: "In 1930 the liberal arts college must have maintained the right to keep the word 'liberal' in its designation. This means the right to toss away what "may have become useless and to add meanwhile whatever else has become 'liberalizing' in the education of the youth for a democracy after the end of the war." There will be tossing to be done on this campus. We hope that it will be done.

Along the north side is a huge room which is equipped with tables and will be used for study purposes. . The basement provides shower and layatory faculties. Evidence that the army was going to move could be seen by the large "coke", machines already setup in the basement and by the battery of telephones on the first floor. Busy from 6-10.
