(Continued from page one) Some Arguments i Those who favor the full three 1 weeks' vacation argue that the draft I and enlistments have so drained the I country of the usual supply of men to help with the harvest that the i University and other schools are prac tically the only sources of supply that are left. A large number of men it Is believed -111 want to engage in the cornhusklng and a number will find work In the fruit gathering and other forms of food conservation. The closing of the schools it is believed would be such a sign to the state that the youth were doing their bit that it would increase the spirit of patriotic food conservaton throughout the coun try. It is also argued that it is work ing a hardship on the students who would leave on furloughs, to allow the other students to continue In their work and advance beyond. If the vacation is granted no time will be lost the Thanksgiving, Christ mas and New Year's holidays will be abolished and the regular program of work covered as under normal conditions. The arguments presented on the other side are that because the num ber of students who could actually en gage in the cornhusklng is probably a small per cent of the total number, the University would be doing more for the nation by continuing its normal program and allowing furloughs to those who wish to engage in the har vest work than allowing the full vaca tion. To close the University for a period of three weeks at the present time would be to hold up materially the work of educating engineers, doc tors, chemists which is in many ways as important nationally as the con serving of the food supply. It Is thought very probable that for various reasons a number of men in these courses would find it impossible to help with the harvesting. A large number of students who are working their way through school would find it necessary to give up their places for the rest of the year if they were to leave for the three weeks and the vacation would in that way be working an unusual hardship upon them. It is estimated that nearly one third of the medical students at Omaha are working for part of their school expenses and would probable lose these were they to leave. The Red Cross benefit fund derived from the football games would be ma terially lessened as a great part of student support would be lost for two of the largest games. The schedule would be finished, however, even if the vacation was granted. A meeting of the board of regents will be held Thursday evening and It is probable that some action will be taken at that time. CHARLES DILLON SPEAKS TO NEWS WRITING CLASS (Continued from Page One) believe we need to laugh more at home and in business. We need more cheerfulness. Newspapers need cheerful stories, jet not the kind that ol'sp over.' And to be able to write this kind of stories the reporter must live that sort of a life. Cheer fulness grows out of good health, and good health comes from right living." Mr. Dillon advised students inter ested in journalism to try meriting for magazines after a few year's news paper experence. "Don't be discour aged if your article comes back," he said. "Decide what you want to write, then keep at IL Don't hesitate about sending it over and over. Study the magazines and see what kind of articles they print" "Specialization is becoming the most important thing n journalsm," Mr. IDoln emphasized. "Women es pecially make the most money writ ing articles. Mr. Dillon told of the influence newspapers have. A newspaper can build parks, viaducts, buildings, put in paving, if it will conduct the rght sort of campagn, he asserted. "Don't let anyone tell you there isn't a real field for success in pro fessional journalism," he said. "It has become a profession that every man and woman In it should feel proud of."

Since then, electricity has sent its thrill through the whole structure of life. Eiger to turn wheels, to lift and carry, to banuh dark, to gather heat, to hurl voices and thoughts across space, to give the world new tools for its work electricity has bent to man's wiIL Throughout this period the General DeAnc Company has held the great responsibilities and high ideals of leadership. It has set free the "spirit oT research. It has given tangible form to inven tion, in apparatus of infinite precision and gigantic power. And it has gone forth, co-operating with every industry, to command this unseen . force and fetch it far to serve all people. By the achievements which this com pany has already recorded may best be judged the greater ends its future shall attain, the deeper mysteries it yet shall solve in electrifying more and more of the world's work. a KN Boyd wants to see you about your printing.
