SPLENDID OPPOR
TUNITY FOR OUTING
That Should Appeal to Young Men
of Community Government
to Pay All Expenses.
The time is drawing near for the
opening of the seventh corps area
civilian training camps which will
hold forth during the month of
August at Camp Pike, Arkansas and
Fort Snelling. Minn. Applicants
from this section will all be sent to
knelling, which is considered far su
perior to Camp Pike, on account of
its cooler climate and more beautiful
surroundings.
The advantages of a month in the
open are many and the fact that all
incidental expense, including board
and lodging, laundry and railroad
fare both ways (at the rate of five
cents per mile) are borne by the
government, should make the offer
very appealing to civilians in every
walk of life, especially the young
men now in their late teens.
In many towns the response is
most gratifying, but in I'lattsmouth
little if any interest has been evinced
to date. Post Adjutant Elmer Webb
has a supply of application blanks
and booklets of general information
regarding .these camps, which may be
had for the mere asking. If you are
interested, see him at once as the
time is getting short.
Advices received from corps area
headquarter give July 10th the last
day for making application.
PLATFORM DANCE

University Union Plans Interna

PAUL VAN DYKE IS DIRECTOR
Facilitates Arrangement of All the
Preliminaries Necessary Before an
American Student Can Matriculate
in Any Foreign University Many
Anxious to Study Abroad Endow
ment Fund of $300,000 Is Being
Scught by Union.
With the support of more than fifty
American universities and colleges and
of governmental ;md educational u
thoiitits iu Great l'.ritain and on the
continent, the American University
Union iu Kurope, established during
the war, is making plans to continue
Its existence permanently as nn inter
national clearing bouse of scholarship
and amity.
I'rof. 1'uul Vua Iyke of Princeton
university, it was announced by l'rof.
John W. Cuuliffe, director of the Co
lumbia university school of journal
ism, has been appointed director of the
continental division of the union to
.vucceed l'rof. 11. 1. I'.abcock, who will
return from Paris in the fall to resume
his duties as head of the depnrtment
of Itomance languages at New York
university.
Ioetor ('uidiffe, who i secretnry of
the union's board of trustees, said that
Professor Van Ike would take charge
of the Paris ollice of the union at 1
Hue de I'b tirus on September 1.
Heads British Division.
Professor Van Inke's appointment
as director was made by the trustees
of the union for V.r2-V.i22. The trus
tees have reappointed Ioetor Krans
as assistant director ut Paris. Ir. (i. E.
MaeLean has been reappointed director
of the P.ritish division, which has Its
headquarters at f0 Kussell square,
London.
Since the armistice. It was snid.
there has been an iwrensinB desire on
the part of the American students to
study abroad. The American Univer
sity union, lK tor Uunllffe said, was
prepared to aid students abroad In
every way, and to be of service to
them before they leave this country.
American students who wish to enter
either lwitisli or l'ren.-h universities
are urged by the trustees of the union
to communicate with either the direc
tor of ihe P.ritish division of the con
tinental division, or with Doctor Cun
lifTe at Columbia.
"The American University union.'"
iid a statement issued by the board
of trustees, of which President 11. P.
Judson of the University of Chicago
Is president and John G. Ilibbeu vf
Princeton, vice chairman, "is otie or
ganization whose purpose is the inter
chnnsre of French and American and
British and American students and
teachers. The union acts as a sort of
educational clearing bouse for the
three countries; through its medium a
student learns the relative values of
the American credentials and French
or English degrees."
It facilitates the arrangement of all
the preliminaries necessary before en
American student can matriculate in
any foreign university. It is concerned
not so much with how to get the Amer
ican student abroad as with what he
is to do when he has got there. For
this purpose the union has established
headquarters in London, Paris and
New York, where close contact be
tween the American and the foreign
institutions is secured, and the bond
between the universities of the United
States ami those of the European na
tions is strengthened."
American Students Abroad.
The union is more necessary la
peuce than it was in war, according to
the trustees, who say that the Ameri
can student needs guidunce when he
reaches the other side. Letters have
been received from American profes
sors abroad stating that unless such
guidance is at the disposal of the stu
dent he is exposed to the danger of
being "rudderless in a choppy sea."
The municipal council of 1'aris has
volunteered to give a suitable site for
a Maisou des Etudiauts which shall
serve as a permanent home for the
union. The offer has been accepted by
the union's trustees, and they are now
seeking funds with which to erect the
buildinc.
The trustees also mean to secure an
endowment fund of at least $.'), KK)
to supplement th income derived from
the annual membership fees paid by
American universities and colleges for
maintenance of the general work of
the union. It has planned to obtain
the major portion of this amount In
gifts of 510,x0, SUo.ooO and $50,000
each.
