Train College Men
Training in the Navy, Army,
and Air Force is offered to Univer
sity students in a very advantage
ous program. This program guar
antees the student a four-year de
ferment from induction to xllow
him to finish his college education.
It also gives him compensation
during the last two years of col
lege. On graduation the students
may become officers in one of the
branches of armed forces.
Application for the advanced re
serve officers training in the
branch of service in which the stu
dent received his basic training
may be made upon completion of
this training.
At the end of the junior year,
each advanced student is required
to spend four weeks in summer
school and - if a student is in ad
vanced training he receives a com
pensation from the government.
Grads Become Lts.
The student, upon graduation,
becomes a second lieutenant in the
reserves. The Army and Air Force
guarantee four year deferment
while studying under the program
and require that the reserve com
missioned officer remains in the
reserve for a period of eight years.
NROTC, the Naval Reserve Of
ficers Training program, operates
cn a different basis. There are two
groups of navy students regular
students and contract students.
Regular students are chosen on
ical health and interviews taken
prior to the academic year.
The Navy Department pays for
the students' books arid tu
ition and they receive a month
ly allowance of $50. Each summer
the regular students take an eight
week cruise.
Physicals Taken
Contract students are selected as
a result of a test and a physical
examination taken during Fresh
man Week. No compensation is
given the student until his junior
year at which time he receives a
monthly allowance of $30. But he
does not take a summer cruise.
Upon graduation both regular
and contract students are commis
sioned as ensigns in the reserve
component of the Navy. They too
must remain in reserve for a pe
riod of eight years.
Since the University of Nebraska
is a land grant college, all incom
ing men who are in good physical
condition are required to take at
least two years of basic training.
Studying under any of these three
branches of the armed forces is
advantageous to college men. Not
only does it guarantee a four-year
deferment from induction to allow
the student to finish his college ed
ucation, but it also gives compen
sation during the last two years of
college. And, too, it gives students
a chance to become officers in any
of the branches of our armed
forces.

'Big Sisters1
Counsel
New Coeds
Coed Counselors in an organiza
tion of "big sisters" who are stu
dents at the University and who
will help their "little sisters" who
will be ner students.
During the summer a Coed
Counselor corresponds with wom
en who plan to come to the Univer
sity in the fall. She explains Uni
versity facilities and activities and
tells her little sisters what to ex
pect when they arrive. She will
also answer any questions the pros
pective students may have.
When they arrive for school in
the fall, the big sister takes them
on coke dates, swimming parties,
picnics, or whatever they plan.
She helps them become acquainted
with other new students and aids
them in registration.
Penny Carnival In the fall is
sponsored by Coed Counselors. A
theme for the carnival, held in the
Student Union ballroom, is chosen;
and freshmen women from all or
ganized houses make a booth to fit
the theme. Each booth provides
an activity for participation of the
spectators such as ring tossing.
The booths are judged on origi
nality, design, adaptation to the
them and audience participation.
The counselors hold Campus
Know-How programs during the
fall to help new women students
to understand how to dress and act
at various campus occasions.
In 1954 a Damsel Debut was
held to encourage students to get
acquainted and to entertain them.
A Friendship Dessert was the last
in the series of programs spon
sored by the bis sisters for their
little sisters.
In the spring former little sis
ters may apply to join Coed Coun
selors and be the next year's big
sisters. An initiation for the newly
chosen group is held in April.
Heading the organization of the
group is the Coed Counselor board.
At the Friendship Dessert the
year's outstanding Coed Counsel
ors were presented.
In 1954, 35,500 Americans were
killed in traffic accidents.
In 1954, 7,700 pedestrians were
