REAL WORK AT FORT SNELLING
The nipn who lvave the University for .the reserve officers' train
ing camp at Fort Snelling will depart, in a blaze of glory, for three
months of the hardest work they have ever done. Reports from the
training camps over the country of the work that the government Jj
outlining for the reserve officers indicate that the camps will be
places for men and men alone.
It is not going to be a simple matter for men from private life
to Eft into military work, learn war tactics, and develop the ability
to command other men. And the training camps this summer will
be different from the Plattsburg camp of last year, because now war
is an actuality when a year ago it was but a possibility. The men in
the camps this year will know that they are training to fight, to
shoot and got shot at, to kill and to die.
For this man-sized job. the people of the United States have
turned to the college men of the country. The universities over the
land are supplying the men and the brains to direct the forces in the
nation's war. No better evidence could be had of the general respect
for the college man and the resrect for college training. The college
man is wanted for this job because he has the character necessary to
command respect, the brains to conceive and the nerve to execute.
The Nebraska men in the training camps will meet in competition
men from Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas. The University sends
them, full of confidence that they will be the leaders, that they will
turn their faces against the things that have happened in such camps
of which decent men are ashamed, that they will be fit representatives
of the state, and that they will become officers and remain gentlemen.
SOME LAURELS IN DANGER
The girls of the University, having successfully staged a swim
ming meet, gymnastic exhibition and basketball tournament, are pre
paring for their annual outdoor track meet. A greater part of the
co-eds are showing an active interest in physical training, and the
proper care of their bodies, than the men.
This has been a rather good year for the University women. They
have stepped into positions previously thought to be man's jobs, and
their work has not suffered by comparison. Their response to the
war emergency was more rapid than that of the men. Meanwhile
they have been actively interested in things of great present im
portance, such as securing the ballot, when about the chief outside
interest the men attracted was in seeking to do away with drill at
the University at the very time drill was most needed.
The girls' class organizations have consistently shown themselves
more conscious of their responsibilities and more able to meet them
than have the men's societies. The girls have perfected organiza
tions for the control of the student life among the University women
which find no counterpart among the men.
Scholarship comparisons, such as are afforded by the Phi Beta
Kappa awards and the fraternity and sorority scholarship grades,
demonstrate that the women are far in the lead.
Much can be said for the men of course, and. in addition to all
their work they have the responsibility of exercising a protectorate
over the fair ones. But it does look as if some laurels will need a
little attention.

THE DAYS GONE BY
NON
COMPOS
MENTIS
A sweet smile may be an act of
charity, but even some kinds of
charity ate unwelcome.
People may talk all they want to
about raw recruits, but supposing they
were stewed or pickled.
They're no sadder words of tongue or
pen
In the worst of each one's classes
Thau those our mother's used to say
In the spring "Here's your sul
phur and molasses."
We go through life from day to day
Unheedful of the morrow.
And the time will come for us to say,
Please forget the sulphur and mo
lasses. And when we die and go to stay
With Satan and his playmates,
We'll eat the sulphur all the day
But we won't get any 'lasses.
Essay 410
The Phi Gams claim to have come
originally from the Fiji islands. We
know that there are a lot of them that
are kind of rough but if we were
they, far be it from we to admit that
we're as uncivilized as all that.
Horkey's Fark is much better than the
Fiji islands and is handier in their
"back to nature" stunt each spring.
Everybody says that they "take so
many freshmen each year, I don't
see how they can do it," but of course
that is just what we've heard, it isn't
an authentic statement. However, it I
could stand looking into. j
They are going to own the house
they live in some day, the exact data 1
we could not determine. Everybody j
likes the Phi Gams, even if they do j
sing at every entertainment they can ;
be forgiven for that (by some people.)
Setting the house on fire and falling
of the roof are two of the preferred
modes of variable sports indulged in.
Another "sport" is guarding the Alpha
Phis from all harm.
The Phi Gams have the same colors
as the Elks' club and the pin is simi
lar in shape to a certain red spot on
a deck of cards. The motto is: "Lend
us a light, Sturmie, we blew out the
gas."
RUSS REVOLT WILL
HELP MISSIONARIES
(Continued from Page 1)
"We are jubilant over the success
of the revolution in Russia which will
aave the most far-reaching conse
quences to missionary and educational
work, extending from the near
east to central Asia. It means
that Russia will encourage mod
ern education in all her provinces.
What the consequences will be in the
rapid introduction of western educa
tion into that region cannot be over
estimated. "Russia's new policy will also be
one for the prevention of war and the
cessation of her ambitions in the east,
an important policy under the old
regime, making for permanent peace.
I expect to spend the summer raising
money for the Armenian and Syrian
relief fund."
