Japanese-American men students
in the university will be in the
armed services by the end of the
current semester, according to a
statement made Monday by Dr.

In a statement prompted by re
cent inquiry as to the status of
Japanese-American students, Ros
enlof said that until the recent
change of policy many of the stu
dents who wanted to enter the
services were barred from en
listing. "By action of the Board of Re
gents a small number of Japanese-American
students were ad
mitted to the university both last
year and this year," the registrar
added.
"Their acceptance was with the
approval and upon the request of
the United States Relocation au
thorities. Those who have been
admitted have had to meet defi
nite criteria.
Must Meet Requirements.
"First, they must bs American
citizens; second, they must be rec
ommended as good scholars by the
institution last attended; third,
thev must have character refer
ences indicating unquestioned loy
alty to the United States govern
ment and other characteristic
qualities of good citizenship; and,

Service Act
young people are required to pay
the usual fees charged any Ne
braska person and in addition
thereto non-resident fees varying
anywhere from approximately $50
to $100 each semester.
"The question now being asked,"
Dr. Rosenlof indicated, "is why
these young Japanese-American
citizens can not be accepted for
service in the armed forces. The
reason is that until just within
the past month the government
has not classified them for im
mediate call into the selective
service.
All Students Reclassified.
"Under orders recently issued,
all Japanese-American citizens
are being reclassified and certi
fied to the armed services for in
duction and basic training. .Many
of these young men wanted to go
but were prohibited from going.
They have all been discouraged
when they have presented them
selves for voluntary enlistment.
Incidentally, three of the Japanese-American
students on this
campus have been commissioned
in the army. Doubtless, within the

Toward Kits
Army Receives
Recreation Kits
One of the more serious prob
lems faced by army officials in
war zones where there is no means
of entertainment, is occupying the
minds of the men while they are
not actually fighting. To alleviate
this situation the Red Cross has
made up recreational kits, six of
which have been purchased by the
war council to be sent overseas to
the armed forces.
One hundred dollars was voted
by war council to be spent for
these kits which are chests con
taining recreational equipment of
all kinds. The lid serves as a
magazine rack and the chest is
stocked with games, stationery,
athletic equipment, razor blades
and other articles needed by the
men.
Members of the Junior Red
Cross are building the chests in
the manual training departments
of the city schools and the war
council and Junior League, the
only two Lincoln groups sponsor
ing the recreational kits will send
overseas a dozen chests between
them.
