IS IT FURLOUGHS
OR FULL VACATION?
(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." " "

4 ACHIEVEMENT I
Twenty-five years ago the General
Electric Company was founded.
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.

THE languorous charm of the
Hawaiian native instruments so
moving in appeal, so observably
in vogue is strikingly characteristic
of the Ukulele. Its tone possesses that
curiously beautiful timbre, that exotic
charm of tonal quality which has
made these instruments so sensation
ally popular.
The Ukulele has a pleasing grace of
form. The finer models are made
of genuine Hawaiian Koa wood. It
is much in request today among the
smarter college and other musical
organizations.
It is easy to learn.

Every chord struck upon this typcUy rep
