SIX DAYS INSTEAD OF FIVE THIS MAKES UP FOR LESSENED RAILROAD FARE. Target Ammunition Alone Will Cost . Nearly Two Thousand Dollars, This to Be Furnished by the Government Free of Charge. That tho increased proportional camp fee lis fully( justified by the fact that csuup will' this year last a day longer than In the .piiBt Is tho state ment made yesterday by Captain J. G. Workizor, -commaiidaiit ' of univer sity slu'dents. Captain Workizor lias all the plartB of camp under his super vision and It was he who fixed upon tho $r camp fee per student. Sinco the announcement of tlio amount of the charge there has boon sonio crit icism among students on the grounds, that Che feo was greater than the cost of transportation would justify. Captain Workizpr has a table on tho wall of hlB 'office which ho points out us justification for his figures. The camp Tee last year was $5.25. This ear the railroad faro will be $1.10 less than the charge per man to Ne braska City. This makes the foc'fbr a five-day camp $4.15. But this year the camp will cover six days Instead of five and on tho basis of tho old figures, the commandant figures that thlB extra day will coat each man 83 cents, making the total for a six-day camp $4.98. Captain Workizor con fesses to adding two cents to tho pro portional charge and says . that ho stands ready to refund a stamp to cadets calling for It. Big Lot of Ammunition. ...... ?. ' . " ' The cadets will this year use an un usually large amount of ammunition in target practice and in tho sham battle. Tho government Is particular ly anxious that tho battalion bo well trained Jn shooting and tho war de partment will sot aside nearly $2,000 worth of ammunition for the Nebras ka camp. Tlio exact amount 1b $1,872. Captain Worklzer has returned from Ashland, where he mado arrangements for camp groundB and other con veniences. The camp is to bo locatod lp. the clty park. This ground Js an ideal camp location, level and sandy soil, capable of quickly drying. The rifle range Is three and one-halt miles from the camp and tho companies will be transported to tho range one at a time for targot practice. Arrange ments h;two been mado for wagon transportation to and from tho range. Citizens Cordial; The citizens of Ashland have ox pressed a spirit of cordial good will to the university men. Tho mer chants of tho 'town are to furnish the grounds and light for tho camp, They aro all desirous of seeing tho cadots liuvo a good time and seom glad to volcome tho. battalion to the town. , The culinary department of tho camp will this yoar bo under tho bu Dervlelon cf tho university Y. M. 0. A. This organisation put in a bid for the service, that was considerably be low that of any other concern ami it Is expected that the result will not . Snjy be .better grub, but a savltfg to the cadets. Any "surplus loft after ox-, peuses'itro paid will bo refunded to the students camping. K'. ,f m ,, vj.

TO WEAR CAPS AND GOWNS, jciad Senior Girls to Attend Classes in Dignified Garb. i A moyement Ib bolng stArted by the senior co-eds to promote tho wear ing of caps and gowns on tho campus. Tonight a meeting of tho senior girls will bo held nt 5 o'clock in U 10G to discuss the proposition and It is hoped to push the matter through. Tho movement Is backed by many 1 of the most prominent co-ods of tho class of 1909. who are putting forth every effort to secure tho co-operation of all 5f the femlniuo portion of, tho class. Tho wearing of tho cap and gown will bo confined, of course, to - tho girls who will wcar them on the cam pus during the remainder of the school year. It Is advocated that this custom will, when once stdrtcd, lend something of the dignity rightfully due their position as seniors to that class. It Is a custom practiced exton-, sively at othor colleges and those back of the project believe It would add one more to tho list of customs at Nebraska which go far to mako up the beauty' of the traditions of' tho older colleges. Auothor argument ad vanced in its favor is that, although securing caps and gowns, tho senior girls aro at present only nblo to wear them on two or three occasions after which they must be laid aside.
