FOR THOSE WHO ARE SERVING
For the Nebraska University men who are serving their country at
Fort Snelling, the girls of the University will this week make candy,
and the men still in school are sponsors of a plan to give them a
Cornhusker banquet at one of the large hotels in Minneapolis. Both
projects will meet with the hearty co-operation of all of those who had
to stay behind.
The girls plan to send their candy so that it will reach the Nebraska
men Sunday morning. The nven will have charge of collecting a fund
Thursday and Friday of this week, and have already arranged with
Nebraska alumni to give the banquet this coming Saturday night, or,
if the men can't get off then, at the earliest possible date.
There has been a common desire on the campus that before the
semester closes and the students scatter for the summer, something
be done that will show the appreciation of the University for the pa
triotism of her men in the officers camp. The plans that are being
developed satisfy this desire, and will bind closer the tie between
the students and their Alma Mater.
The gifts of candy will be sent, and the banquet will be given,
not as by individuals, but as by the University as a whole. This is
something that will make its appeal to every student. To give the
Nebraska banquet will require a contribution or not less than $300
from the students and faculty. It is hoped that all of this amount
will be raised before Friday noon, so that the money can at once
be telegraphed to the Nebraska University alumni association in
Minneapolis. In making his gift for. the fund the student should not
hesitate to make a sacrifice, remembering the greater sacrifice that
the men at Fort Snelling are making.
TO HELP THE FRESHMEN
The Girls' club and the University Young Women's Christian asso
ciation have embarked on a fine enterprise, in arranging to act as
big sisters to the freshmen girls who enter the University next fall.
Plans have bven made for similar work among the men, so that the
student who comes to Lincoln, a stranger in a strange land, will
find not only a welcome, tut a friend who will help during the first
days of school.
Few of us can look back upon our freshmen days without thinking
of mistakes that would not have been made, had there been some
upperclassmen to whom we could have turned for friendly advice.
The readjustment of the entering student, who may never have been
in a city as large as Lincoln before, or who may never have been
thrown among so many strangers before, is sometimes attended with
niisfortur.es that could very well be avoided by upperclass helpfulness.
A student will talk over his troubles to a fellow student; will
unbosom himself of his aims and ideals to one with whom he feels
upon an equality, before he will go to a faculty man. For this reason
the students in the senior and junior classes, who have been through
the mill, in whose minds the doubts of the freshman are still vivid, and
whose hearts si ill beat with a sympathy for the incomer, are the ones
who should undertake the work of getting the new student acquainted
with his fellow students, and with the University.
The plan for freshmen supervision is one of the best things that
ha come from the present year. It promises much for the University
in the years to come.

Students on the War
Serve?
Are you serving your country to the
fullest extent? Are you doing all in
your power to help the cause along
"doing your bit," as we say? No, we
don't mean enlistment or training
camp attendance or crop cultivation or
any one of the other physical labors
which you might perform. But have
you taken the right attitude? Have
you said "My country, right or wrong?"
Then if you have, you are doing serv
ice and there is a chance to render
still greater service. One need not go
to the fighting line or to the hospital
to serve. For instance, here are some
suggestions made by various organiza
tions .'or those who, for some reason,
are not in active service at this time
but who have a desire to serve:
Aid the lied Cross.
Buy Liberty loan bonds.
Buy insurance on recruits in behalf
of their families.
Collect magazines and papvrs for
soldiers' camps.
Economize on food. Encourage gar
den growing.
Express loyal sentiments.
Resent insult to aliens.
Stand by the president.
Hang out the tiag.
If you will do any one or all of thvse
things, then you hay3 done a bit of
service. Perhaps you have not done
all that you can or will do, but you
have helped. Daily lllini. University

The War and Athletics
The announcement from Secretary
of War Baker that the first army of
500,000 young men will not be called
to the :;...ning camps before Septem
ber 1, coupled with the fact that the
selective draft will take only those be
tween the ages of 21 and 30, makes It
possible to do some clear thinking
regarding the problem of intercol
legiate athletics during the term of
the war. While it is admitted that all
those universities which abandoned
athletics with our entry into the war
were inspired by motives of the high
est patriotism, there is no doubt that
this action was largely precipitate and
that could joint action have bevn taken
much of our athle'ics might have been
retained, not only without loss of
honor, but to the military advantage
of the country. Hasty action was ap
parently induced by the supposition
that we would attempt to throw an
army of between one and two million
urn into Euroiw with the next few
months. We are now faced by the fact that
the shortage of supplies and equipment
will make it impossible to outfit more
than one army cf 500,000 men by
September 1. How soon thereafter a
second army will be required or can
be outfitted we do not know. But it
is apparent that for the fall at least
the attendance at all our leading uni
versities will not be very greatly cur
tailed by the men taken in the initial
draft, though perhaps the quota fur
nished by the colleges will be doubled
by the number who have already volun-
t-ered for service of one kind or
another.
But there will certainly be enough
young men who have not reached the
age of 21 years, or who will not be re
quired In the first draft, to permit the
resumption of intercollegiate athletics
throughout the country. To be sure,
athletic sports are In no sense neces
sary from the standpoint of athletics,
but It is the consensus of expert mili
tary opinion that the universities could
render the government no better serv
ice than by fostering Intercollegiate
athletics among those men who are
left. If fome plan could be agreed
upon similar to that adopted by Penn
sylvania this spring that athletic
competition should be limited to those
students who also took the course In
military training, we would enjoy all
the benefits that come from supervised
athletics and be patriotic as well.

Minnesota The action of the board
of athletic control in suspending ath
letics at the university for the period
of the war has been severely criti
cized by the all-university council and
steps are being taken for the repeal
of the measure. The council feels that
if athletics are s luxury in times of
war, they are so also in times of peace,
and if they are bad now, they are
bad under normal conditions. In the
retention of intramural athletics, the
council sees a great falling off a luke
warminterest in sports; intercol
legiate competition is needed to keep
the high standard of physical fitness
so necessary at the present time. Ex.
