Stepping-Stone
For Victory . . .
It's a good deal.
That was the concensus of advanced KOTO men activated
yesterday.
To almost all of them the call came as great relief. The
rumors, stories and worries were ended. They were in the
army and glad of it.
The 300-odd UN men affected by the order enter the army
in an unusual manner. They will still ?o to school; they will
still have a lot of freedom; their normal life will be changed
little but they are going to learn a great deal.
As one fellow said yesterday as he checked out his uni
form, "It is too bad this didn't happen six months ago. Then
we would be prepared for the real thing."
In the month that follows, however, they will become
prepared. There will be plenty of discipline, plenty of work,
plenty of training for army duty.
In the month that follows, they will be prcQared for either
basic training or OCS practically all lor some responsibility
in the army, either as a commissioned or non-commissioned
officers.
We have a feeling that this month 5s going to be a worth
while one from every point of view. We have a feeling that
those 300 men who, until now, have walked down the streets
of Lincoln feeling just a little conspicuous in civilian clothes
are going to make up the part of the army that will have the
job of actually winning the war.
The stage is set for the great drama of the war. Thus
far nil we have seen is the curtain acts, important but sub
ordinate to the grand finale which is coming.
And it is in the grand finale, the final push which will
bring victory to the United Nations, that these boys who only
yesterday actually got into the thing, will be leaders.
That is just a hunch, but we think it is a good one.
We think it is almost as good as another hunch that we
have : that the men activated yesterday will for the most part
become officers, and good officers.
This month ahead appears to be an important one. It is
a stepping stone for further progress in the army. It is the
beginning, and judging from the announcements made thus
far, it will be very likely a successful beginning.
The college men have had every break from the army
since the war began. Now that they have been called upon
to'serve, they will serve to their utmost.
Watch the boys just moved to the library! Watch them
develop into soldiers! Watch them change! And after June
when they scatter thruout the nation for further training,
watch them stand out! Watch them get commissions! Watch
them lead this great nation to victory!

Individual orders have not been received as yet, but notice!
of activation was given in KOTC classes yesterday and the!
word spread quickly to all (-adds and to the rest of the campus, j
The actual activation which 1ok place at 5:30 last night j
ended several weeks of speculation jind rumors which have!
circulated at regular intervals.
Military Parade, May 4. j
Parades scheduled for Tuesday, April 20 and Tuesday,
April 27, have been cancelled according to, an announcement i
from the office of Captain Crabill, adjutant. Plans are being'
made to have one parade this spring on Tuesday, May 4, when ;
any cash prizes and medals to be awarded this year will be
presented to winning cadets.
The IiOTC is the third army detachment to be quartered
on the campus. Besides the air crew in the library, there is
a specialized training and reassignment unit station at ag
college.
The Union cafeteria closed its doors to the public in order
to handle the additional load forced upon it by the activation.
Meals will continue to be served to the public in the Corn Crib.

No gossip column would be com
