Navy Selects UN Campus
As Place for ROTC Unit
Official confirmation of the se
lection of UN as a site for a new
unit of the Navy ROTC was an
nounced today by Chancellor C.
S. Boucher.
Vice Admiral Randall Jacobs of
the Navy notified Boucher of the
selection. It is planned to com
mission the unit on or about No
vember 1, 1945, depending upon
the availability of a new armory
Just authorized by the Nebraska
legislature.
The unit, it Is understood here,
will be a part of the permanent
post-war officers' training pro
gram of the Navy. It will not be
a temporary wartime measure.
Complete details of the opera
tion of the unit are to be given to
university officials soon since
representatives of the Navy will
pay a visit to the campus In the
near future. Meantime, plans for
constructing an armory on the
campus to house both the new
Navy and the long-established
Army ROTC units are now going
forward. The post-war plans of
both the Navy and the Army
specifically require an armory.
Football Status.
At the same time, athletic of
ficials at the university said the
new Navy unit will not immedi
ately be of any benefit to Corn
husker football. The Navy ROTC
unit will operate much the same
as the Army unit, it is under
stood, and will be open to regu
larly enrolled college students and
will not bring in any influx of
navy trainees as under the ASTP
program.
Male students in the university
will have a choice of enrolling in
either Army or Navy ROTC. It is
understood the ROTC students, as
in the prewar period, will have
the opportunity to compete in in
tercollegiate athletics. No change
from the prewar policy in regard
to participation of ROTC stu
dents in intercollegiate athletics is
expected in the post-war period.

K. Arndt States
Need for World
Bank System
Karl Arndt, associate professor
of economics at the University of
Nebraska, in his lecture, "Money
and Other Obstacles to World
Trade," the' last lecture in the
university night class series, "In
ternational Problems Just Ahead,"
which he gave Wednesday night
in the social science building,
stated that in the future the basis
for world trade will probably be
an international bank, such as is
proposed in the Bretton Woods
plan.
He pointed .out that the gold
standard was permanently out of
use because very few countries
have any gold, altho this stand
ard of settling the differences in
curred by various countries in
trade, had worked fine for many
years.
Straight Jacket.
The next means to promote
trade, Arndt said, used by some
countries, was the national econo
mic straight jacket, by which
some countries were able to build
weapons for this war.
After the war, he stated, a new
system of trade will be neces
sary, and the international bank
seems most practical.
Arndt also pointed out how the
differences in national currency
has slowed up free travel and
trade between different countries.

CORRECT FOR '
COMMENCEMENT
IN 1860
This member of a Senior Class of that year is fashion-perfect
for the occasion. Top-hats were sinc-qua-non, and voluminous
neckcloths muffled the spotless linen. Co-education was becom
ing fashionable, too.
That year, I860, civil war was looming on the country's
horizon. College campuses blazed with patriotism. Railway
Express was ready, at the first summons, to put its services at the
nation's command. Today, America is fighting a world-wide war.
So, to help all concerned, please do three simple tilings with
your 1945 home packages and baggage: Pack them securely
address clearly and adequately avoid abbreviating state names.
