j UNTVEJtSITY NOTES
I About 150 senior and junior en
, gineerlng students will take the an
nual inspection trip including places
in Lincoln and suburbs and Omaha
j March 24 to 28. On April 7 this group
, will inspect the Blue River Power
'company's power stations along that
i river and also the Crete Mills. The
; Lincoln trip was made Saturday, cov
ering the work on the new capitol
j the Lincoln Traction company power
station, the Burlington's Havelock
shops, and the city disposal plant
; Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
will be spent at Omaha. The first
day they will inspect the Ford assem
bly plant, the Florence water works
and the Baker Ice Machine company.
The Municipal Ice. Plant and Gas
Plant, the Omaha and Council Bluffs
Street Railway company, the Ne
braska Power company, the Union
Pacific bridge over the Missouri river
and the World-Herald plant will be
visited Tuesday. Wednesday forenoon
they will spend at the Nebraska Tele
phone company and the afternoon
with the Omaha Structural Steel
5jcompany. They may visit the College
H'of Medicine. On Saturday of next
week they will inspect four of the
Blue River Power company generat
ing stations, including the first auto
matic station in the United Sttaes,
eight miles south of Crete.
This trip is known as the "short
trip." The College of Engineering
requires one inspection trip of every
graduate. It provides long and short
trips, alternating them annually.
Juniors are permitted to make the
trips. A junior who lacks funds can
take the short 'trip if the long trip
happens to fall on his senior year.
In this way the money cost is not
burdensome.

tion "alongside of the Ku Klux
Klan," is the result of a nationwide
appeal from women, Simmons said.
Native born white Protestant
women of America above the age of
18 will be admitted to the order, ac
cording to Simmons, who declared he
will issue the ritualistic work of the
organization within a short time.
The new secret order, of which
Simmons has appointed himself the
head with the title of "El Magnus,"
will be devoted to "a new consecra-
, tion to the American home, to the
j American government, and to the
I American creed of Christianity as
j taught by the Protestant church,"

Watched Growth of "Dream"
"In his statement announcing the
plans for the women's order, Sim
mons reviewed the growth of the Ku
Klux Klan, which he founded seven
years ago, declaring that in its suc
cessful growth he has seen the ac- j
complishment of "a dream of his
youth."
"Always in my dream of a great
renewal of Americanism there has
been the contemplation of a worn
an's organization, adhering to the
same principles, committed to the
same purposes and impelled by the
same motives a sthe Ku Klux Klan,"
Simmons said.
"For a considerable period the de
mand upon me for an organization of
women has increased until the de
mand has become a clamor from well
nigh every section of the United
States. A. response to the appeal of
these earnest, devoted, patriotic
women can no linger be deferred.
Must Co-Operate
"They must take their place along
side the Ku Klux Klan and co-operate
with them in all their worthy
movements to co-ordinate their activ
ities with all of their noble enter
prises helping to save the white
man's civilization on the American
continent and thereby saving the
white man's civilization throughout
the world.
"It is one of the proudest moments
of my life, now and here, to proclaim
the foundation and creation of the
women's organization to be known
as the Kamelia, and in making this
proclamation, to declare as the
founder and creator of the Kamelia
my official designation and title to
be 'El Magnus.' "
