Universities Prepare
To Receive Veterans
Veterans returning to univer
sity have no time to pick flowers
along the way" is the philosophy
of most of the schools surround
ing Nebraska. These universities
are geared and ready to receive
the returned soldier without un
necessary loss of time, so that he
or she may enter gainful occupa
tions as soon as possible.
At the University of South Da
kota long-established regulations
governing senior residence re
quirements, transferable credit
and required courses will be
changed to permit those return
ing from war service to receive t
degree in the shortest feasible
time.
To coordinate the university's
policies, a veteran's committee is
working with the district veterans'
office and the several divisions of
the university. Credit for army
and nnvy training courses will be
granted whenever these courses
contribute to the veteran's college
work. Twelve veterans are en
rolled this semester.
Special stress is laid on re
habilitating the returned veteran
and guiding him into the type of
work for which he is best suited
at the University of North Dakota
by plugging gaps in their high
school records and shortening col
lege courses whenever possible
and advisable. One such course to
be offered at North Dakota is in
the field of accounting. The reg
ular four-year commerce course is
to be shortened, allowing a stu-

UN Registers
Late Thursday
For Parties
Late registration for political
parties will be held Thursday in
the front lobby of the Union from
3:00 to 6:00. This announcement
was made by Jeanne Rotton of
the student council committee of
political parties.
This opportunity for late reg
istration is for those students who
were not able to vote for their
party at the regular registration
held Nov. 16. Now that definite
political parties have been formed
and are ready to function, the
long-postponed general student
election for junior and senior
class presidents is scheduled to
be held December 5.
Junior Division
Sponsors Frosh
Vocation Talks
Informal discussions on voca
tions and professions, supple
menting the freshman orientation
course, will be held tonight at
7:15 p. m. in Sosh building. The
Junior Division has arranged
these conferences, prompted by
an indicated demand for more in
formation on courses offered in
the university.
Discussions will be held tonight
on "A Career in Journalism," by
F. C. Blood in SS 201; "A Career
in Music," bv A. E. Westbrook
in SS 101; "The Dental Profes
sion," by Dr. Ralph Ireland in SS
101a; and "The Profession of
Law," in SS 105.
Each leader will speak for 20
or 30 minutes with question and
discussion periods following to
give opportunity for specific
questions and problems to be dis
cussed. These conferences are open to
all university students.
dent to receive the degree of Cer
tified Public Accountant in two
years or less. In a like manner,
bookkeeping machines, calculators
and other essential business ap
pliances will be available in short
courses.
Realizing that some veterans
who have been away for several
years will think it is not worth
while to return to school, North
Dakota is attempting to adapt
curricula and entire educational
facilities to make it not only pos
sible but desirable for them to re
turn. "Vestibule Courses" are being
worked out at the State Univer
sity of Iowa so that a veteran may
enter the university upon the
first of every month. Veterans at
Iowa State have formed their own
club, the University Veterans
association, which provides social
and recreational opportunities.
Other than the club, the univer
sity has made no social plans for
the servicemen because it is be
lieved that veterans do not want
special privileges or opportunities.
Refresher courses have been es
tablished for the more than 190
veterans registered at the present
time.
The University of Minnesota is
enlarging its speech and reading
clinics to help veterans overcome
articulatory and voice difficulties
and to improve reading and study
habits. Advanced standing and
credit for training courses will be
allowed to veterans.
War Council
Plans Big Fun
Auction Dec. 6
On Dec. 6 at 7:30 p. m. in the
ballroom of the Union, students
on the campus are literally go
ing to get the chance of a life
time. Have you ever wanted
a singing waiter in the crib, a
package of good cigarettes, a
professor for bus boy in your
house, a Mortar Board to clean
your room, a document saying
you were the best student in the
university, or an English theme
written by an English instructor?
Here's your chance, at the War
Council's "Chance of a Lifetime"
stamp and bond auction.
To raise money for the sixth
war loan drive, the above-named
"things" and services will be
auctioned off to the highest bid
der in war stamps and bonds. The
auction is open to the university
students, staff, and faculty, and
Ghita Hill, War Council presi
dent, expressed the hope that
everyone would start saving pen
nies right now for the auction.
At a later date, the list of serv
ices to be offered and names of
the hardy volunteers for the serv
ices will be published, so that
prospective bidders can see the
fun that will be offered them.

Dies Nov. 8
Near Aachen
Lt. Col. Edgar J. Boschult,
former staff member of the uni
versity, was killed during the
fighting near Aachen on Nov. 8,
according to word received from
Washington.
Boschult, who was a popular
figure on campus, is the first
battle casualty from the staff and
faculty on leave of absence from
the university. He entered the
university as an engineering
student in 1919 after World War
I, in which he served in the Navy.
Graduating in engineering in
1923, he received his master's
degree the following year and
continued post-graduate studies,
getting his Ph.D. in chemistry in
1930.
In 1926 he was made assistant
purchasing agent of the university.
A reserve officer and member of
the American Legion, and Post
Commander from 1935-36, he was
called to service early in 1940 and
helped to set up the selective
service organization of the Sev
enth Service Command. Origin
ally in chemical warfare but al
ways interested in artillery, he
was assigned to a field artillery
battalion and trained in Cali
fornia. In July of 1944 he went over
seas and, shortly after his arrival
in England, he participated in the
break-through at St. Lo as a part
of Gen. Potion's Third Army.
When the juncture with Gen.
Courtney Hodges' army was
made, he became part of the First
Army and met his death in the
forest surrounding Aachen.
A&S College Formulates
Liberal Science Course
The Arts and Science college
of the university is embarking
upon a new plan for expansion of
courses necessary for students en
tering the postwar world.
The plan, similar to one already
in operation at Purdue univer
sity, is based on the principle
that education should equip stu
dents for the demands of the pres
ent emergency and at the same
time furnish them with a broad
education needed for intelligent
and effective living. The program
combines the broadly cultural
subjects with an understanding of
the basic principles of modern;
science and individualized train-
ing for a vocation which fills a
need today and will be of value
in time of peace.
War Council treasurer; Ghita
and Margaret Beede, secretary
of War Council. Faculty director
for the show will be William Mor
gan, instructor in the speech de
partment, and sponsors are Pat
Lahr, Union director, and John L.
Champe, instructor in anthropo
logy. Business manager is Mary
Louise Goodwin, and her assist
ant, Jackie Gordon.
Heads Writing:
Harold Andersen, in charge of
continuity, has as his assistants
on the writing committee Doro
thea Duxbury, Joline Ackerman,
Mignon Marsteller, Leslie Glot
felty and Carl Ziegler.
Crews have not been assembled
yet, and only tentative directors
for the dancing chorus and choral
groups have been chosen. These
will be announced at a later date,
according to Miss Hill.
Tryouts for the 1945 show will
be held in rooms 313 and 315 of
the Union Saturday morning,
Sunday afternoon, Monday after
noon, and Tuesday at a time to
be announced later.
Miss Hill stated that according
to plans thus far assembled for
the show, it promises to be an
even bigger success than last
year's production.
