HELP THE FUND FOR THE FT. SNELLING BANQUET
It isn't because the men at Ft. Snelling aren't getting enough to
eat that the University is giving them a banquet. It is because this
Cornhusker feast is going to bring close to those Nebraska alumni
hikI students at the training camp the thought of home, and the
thought of the school they left behind them.
Who does not realize :that the things most precious in his life
are the intangible feelings of love for something or someone, and
the ideals built out of those emotions? Because this banquet will
deepen that feeling toward Nebraska in the men at Ft. Snelling. it
is a thing worth while. To bring their University and their fellow
'students closer to them, and to bring home to them the conscious
ness that they are the representatives of that University which is
proud of them, will make those men happier and make them stand
for better things.
Every student and faculty member should have a part in giving
the banquet.
.. FOR THE LIBERTY LOAN
Two aspects of the Liberty Loan bond issue, of especial Interest
to the University, are discussed by Mrs. England and Prof. Le
Rossignol in a separate column of this issue. The bonds are offered
by the government to the patriotism of the people. The University
faculty have responded to the call, and many members of the teach
ing force have subscribed to the first issue. When a reporter for
The Nebraskan approached Chancellor Avery yesterday, he learned
that the chancellor had subscribed for a thousand dollars worth of
the bonds, although that immediate call would require a portion to
be paid for by a loan from one of the banks.
There are students as well as faculty members who could ar
range to do this very patriotic thing of subscribing to the Liberty
loan. "A Liberty bond in every home," is the slogan. So many
banks have offered to make it easy to buy a bond, that this offer
and the small denominations place them within the reach of most
everyone. Added to that is the fact that it is a means of being of
practical service, open to the one who does not serve in the khaki
uniform.
GET THE BOYS TO COLLEGE NEXT FALL
The tendency has been to lose a grasp on true values "because
of the war." People are giving up things, altering plans, changing
habits, when there is no logical reason for it, and solely because of
the subtle influence of the vague talk of retrenchment and service
that lias come with the fact of the war. There is a tendency of the
men in the state, who would otherwise be in school next year, to say
that they are not going to return to or enter the University next fall.
By the time of registration week the draft will have taken its
toll, and those whom the government has not conscripted for service
will be reasonably certain that for half a year at least they will
not be called to the colors. These men, if they are training them
selves in the University, should continue that training, as a patriotic
duty, so that if they are called, they will be that much better
equipped to serve efficiently.
The boys who are graduating from high school this spring, who
are under the draft age, are hesitating to enter the University. All
who possibly can, should come to Lincoln. They will not be needed
on the farm long after school begins, and no false economy should
be allowed to keep them at home. Yet action must be taken to
counteract an impulse among these boys to say that they are not
going to enter Nebraska.
The students in their homes this summer can do a fine service
by encouraging as many men as can do so, to begin or keep on with
their University work.
THE LAST EDITORIAL
In leaving The Daily Nebraskan office, after a year and a half
with the paper, one feels a very sincere grief at losing association
with something that has brought the gift of friendship, with students
who have seen most clearly their duty to their University, and have
striven as best they could to perform that duty.
There is a fellowship about a newspaper office, not less true of
a college newspaper than of the nation's greatest metropolitan
dailies, that is found, probably, nowhere else in the world. It is
born of the long hours of thankless labor in getting out a newspaper
that will be of service, that will bring to the college student every
day the news of his Alma Mater, and create in him a sense of the
spirit of a university.
A college newspaper staff has the fun of learning the true char
acter of many of the students and not a few of the faculty. It has
the fun of helping to a successful outcome the things that deserve
success; and of blocking the things that are petty and mean.
Never have we known people who have done their bit for their
university better, and from purer motives, than the editors and
reporters of The Nebraskan for the past three semesters. The
average student is too careless to realize that the college newspaper
Is the connecting link between all the parts of the university whole.
The staff Is forced to work without the support of the students, and
yet the members work because they know that they are helping to
make their University great and good by the work they do.
We have had the faith that Nebraska always stood for the right
sort of thing, and against the wrong. We have believed that the
University, as such, holds forth to all who ask It, the best of thing?
of life.

HALL DESCRIBES FORT
SNELLING SCHOOL
"University life seems so far from
here that it is hard to connect the
two. They are not so very different
either as we have a regular course
of study, which is a condensed West
Point course with study hours, reci
tations and conferences.
"Each day is filled full. We get
up at 5 o'clock and have a half hour
of setting up exercises before break
fast at 6 o'clock. From 7 o'clock till
12 noon is filled with company drills,
practice marches and conferences. So
far the afternoon programs are not
as strenuous and we usually have from
one to two hours off before retreat at
5:45 o'clock. From 7 o'clock till 9
o'clock are to be spent in the study
hall at study. The physical and mentrt
work is so well arranged that we da
not tire of either, but it almost seema
like a week between breakfast and
dinner.
' Everybody has an excellent appe
tite here and the food is good and lots
of it so every one is happy. Boiled
eggs, potatoes, bread and butter, mush,
milk and coffee made up our break
fast this morning.
"This is a beautiful place and nicely
located. It is only about 45 minutes'
ride on the car from Minneapolis and
about 35 or 40 minutes from St. Paul.
The reservation lies between the Mis
sissippi and the Minnesota rivers and
there are lakes all about.
"We are off on Saturday afternoons
and Sundays and there is a pretty gen
eral exodus to the cities or parks about
here.
"The life here would be quite pleas
ant were it not for the seriousness of
the occasion. Everbody's spirits were
running high until our captain began to
instruct us in the new use of the bay
onet as used In the trenches in Europe
asd brought us face to face with some
of the conditions which we may soon
experience in France and they ex
pect to see us there soon.
"We have a company of about 155
men. Frank Reed and C. W. France
Liberty Loan Discussed by Faculty
"The women of the University should
not feel that the liberty loan is a mat
ter outside of their Interest. The
terms of bond sale are being made so
easy that even those with small in
comes can buy one or more bonds.
For Instance, Mr. W. E. Barclay an
nounces that the Lincoln Trust com
pany will sell In limited quantities
fifty or one hundred dollar bonds on
the installment plan of fl down and
1 per week, or 5 down and $5 per
month with Interest on unpaid bal
ances at the rate of only 3 per cent.
Larger quantities of bonds will be
handled on the same advantageous
terms by the Lincoln State bank. This
really means that one can borrow
money at 3 per cent Interest Instead
of the customary 7 or 8 per cent with
which to buy bonds yielding a 3 per
cent return. One can thus be patri
otic without losing a cent if they bor
row to buy bonds.
"The girls In the Business Course
for Women are especially urged, since
they have studied Investments and can
therefore discuss the subject of bonds
more intelligently than many, to keep
the matter of bond purchase in the
foreground when they return to their
homes. But any and all women should
post themselves on the terms of the
issue and aid in advertising the need
of larger subscriptions from every com
munity. Minnie Throop England.
"We hardly realize, yet, that we are
at war and that we must put forth our
full strength to win. It will not do
to raise an army of a few thousand;
we must raise millions. Money, too,
must be subscribed in vast amounts;
not millions but billions are needed.
The draft and the liberty loan are
essential part of one plan. Germany
hopes that both will fail; but that
must not be. Every citizen must do
his "bit." The rich must give their
millions, and the poor their pennies.
All, rich and poor alike, must give
their boys. Men and money must go
together In this crusade. It is no
border raid that we have undertaken,
but a world war in which one fate and
the fate of the world are at statke.
There is grave danger; and we, as
free citizens of a free country, must
fight for our rights, our liberty, our
democracy, and all that we hold most
dear. J. E. LeRossignol.
Flag Etiquette
We have read somewhere that ac
cording to etiquette, the flag ought
to be lowered every evening at sunset.
We conclude, therefore, that someone
committed a breach of etiquette on
that night when Francis Scott Key
wrote those memorable words, "And
the rockets red glare, and the bombs
bursting in the air, gave proof through
the night that our flag was still there."
