ROTC training
Courses Open
Contrary to rumors that the uni
versity ROTC had been dropped
for the duration, first and second
year basic, and, perhaps, the sec
ond year advanced course, If there
is enough call for it, will be offer
ed during the coming school year.
Basic training is compulsory for
all men students who expect to ob
tain a bachelor's degree and con
sists of two years of military fundamentals.
Freshmen men will find ROTC
greater immediate value to them
than ever before, said Capt. E. C.
Richardson who is in charge of
the ROTC. They will be given one
year of thorough training coupled
with academic, life before being
taken into the army. This training
will help smooth out many of the
d'ii'iculties encountered in army
life. '
ROTC's Have Advantage.
ROTC students have an advan
tage of training over those soldiers
wlio have not had it. Military fun
damentals, the handling of high
powered guns, first aid. discipline
are all touched in ROTC training
and must be learned in the first
few weeks of army life.
A permanent organization in
colleges and universities through
out the nation, the ROTC will con
tinue to function after the war
when many of the emergency mil
itary organizations have to be
eliminated according to ROTC of
ficers. Reorganized by Pershing.
The ROTC was introduced to
the University of Nebraska in
1876 and became a compulsory
course one year later. Lieut. John
J. Pershing, commandant from
1891-1895, for whom the Pershing
Rifles were named, reorganized
the unit and placed in on the firm
foundation which it stands upon
today.
Present administrative officers
of the military department are
Col. J. P. Murphy; Lt. Col. Lloyd
H. Shafer; Lt. Col. A. T. Lobdell;
Maj. E. E Matschullat, Maj Mar
vin Edminson; Capt. E. C. Rich
ardson, and Capt. Leo Pinard,

ated with the Chicago Art Insti
tute. Wanted: Males.
Enslin urged any students,
"male or female (with emphasis
on the former) who are faintly
interested in dramatics to come
over and eet acquainted." In re
gard to the University Theater
program for the year, he statea,
"it is as yet unsettled, until we
can discover the extent of the
male population, but we will do
our best to give a well-balanced
group of plays with the accent
on comedy."
Zimmerman, former director of
the Theater, is now associated
with Paramount studios in Holly
wood as assistant director, .in
training for a directorship. He re
ported to the studio in early Au
gust. Dr. L. T. Laase, chairman
of the speech department, Baid,
"We are sorry to lose Mr. Zim
merman; he waa an excellent
teacher and a superior director.
However, we are fortunate that
in Mr. Enslin we have received a
man exceptionally well qualified
to carry on the high quality of
Work which characterized the
University Theater last year."
Gamma Phi Beta, in spite of a
quarantine for scarlet fever in the
spring, maintained the highest so
cial sorority average on the cam
pus last semester. And, as in pre
vious years, the women of the uni
versity attained a higher average
than the men, and professional
fraternities had the highest aver
age of all.
Topping the scholarship of the
entire university for the second se
mester of 1942-43 were three pro
fessional sororities, Phi Chi Theta,
(business), Omicron Nu (home
economics), Mu Phi Epsilon (mu
sic), and one residence hall, How
ard Hall. These scores were from
six to nine points higher than the
all-University average.
Farm House First
Farm House fraternity, national
professional and social fraternity
on Ag campus took top scholastic
honors for "men. lt ranked eighth
in the all-university scholarship.
As in past years, the unaffili
ated students led affiliated stu
dents, as the women ranked over
the men. The all-women average
was 2.607; the all-men average
was 2.335. The non-sorority wom
en averaged 2.626, the sorority
women 2.579; and the non-fraternity
men scored an average of
2:393, the fraternity men 2.2300.
In determining the average
grade points by which the groups
are ranked, four grade points are
awarded for each credit hour car
ried with a grade of 90 and above.
Three grade points are awarded
for each credit hour carried with
a grade of 80 to 89. Two grade
points are awarded for each credit
hour carried with a grade of 70 to
90, and one grade point for each
credit hour carried with a grade
of 60 to 69. Points for incompletes
and failures are subtracted from
the total score. To obtain the av
erage for each group, the total
grade points are divided by the
total number of hours carried by
the group.
