Every day The Nebraskan receives
a letter or two from former Corn
huskers asking that the paper be
sent them so that they may "keep
in touch with Nebraska." The let
ters come from everywhere from
coast artillery posts on Puget Sound
to concentration points in Maine.
Always the request is the same, al
ways it is for news from home. Some
day The Nebraskan hopes to print
a complete soldier mailing list, so
that students may see just how
many former classmates are in the
country's service. But to make this
possible it will be necessary for
everyone to help by sending lists of
names and addresses to the business
manager of The Nebraskan, in the
office of student activities.

slogan, one that is being instilled

it was carried out. But Nebraska,
too, has a battle cry. one which is

prophet. Sixteen years from the
date of his prophecy Germany start

to crush France and England and
every other nation that stood in her
path. The war has not gone exactly

There have been some delays and
