ADVANCED ROTC
LEA VES MA Y 25
it it it
That the advanced course ROTC will leave the
campus for Fort Leavenworth May 25, appeared
eminent as a result of a telephone conversation yes
terday between Col. J. P. Murphy and th 7th Service
Command, directors of the ROTC.
Advnced course men cheered last night as the
following telegram, sent to the War Department in
.Washinaton by the 7th Service Command and for
warded to UN authorities, was read to them just be
fore taps last night.
"The second year advanced course ROTC stu
dents at the University of Nebraska who were in the
ERC and have been called to active duty at the in
stitution:
"These advanced course students are scheduled
to complete the second year advanced course at the
University of Nebraska on 24, 194 J.
"Request authority to order to OCS 97 infantry
30 enaineerina. 62 field artillery, 1 chemical war
fare, 2 signal corps, and 1 air corps men n order
that this headquarters may order these students to
reception centers about May 25, 1943, for processing
prior to reporting at OCS.
Members of the Nebraska military departmen
said last night that Fort Leavenworth would be proc
essinn rnfpr for UN students. Telephoned informa
tion to 7th Service Command, directors of the ROTC
by Colonel Murphy today indicates that the tele
gram refers to first year advanced students as wel
as second year.
It is assumed furloughs will be granted to the
men at the reception center in order that they may
visit their homes before going to duty.

University student publications
will be largely the products of
feminine minds and hands, it was
apparent following selections of
editorial and business staffs by
the board of student publications
Wednesday afternoon.
Except for election of Bob Hen
derson of Lincoln as business man
ager of the Cornhusker yearbook
and Henry Fishback of covma,
Calif., as sports editor of the Ne-
braskan, all paid staff positions
went to girls in the biggest land
slide ever scored by feminine aspir
ants to publication jobs at Nebras
ka. The reason was obvious there
were too few boys applying who
could give assurance they would
not be in military service next
fall.
Marjorie May is the new editor
of the Nebraskan and Betty Hohf ( "
is editor of the 1944 Cornhusker
Both were advanced from m&nag
ing editorships.
