It is Interesting to hear what R. O. T. C. means to some University stu dents and faculty. The question was asked of a group of history students. Not one of the answers was correct. Some of them were: , " "I do not know, and I have seen It bo much." "It means some kind of a training camp." "I don't know what 'R. O. T.' stands for, but I suppose the C means cadets. It is the cadets who wear those letters." "R. O. T. C. means reserve officer training cadets." "Reserve officers' training camp no. not a camp. I do not know." Finally, "It stands for recruits of training camps." One boy, a freshman, fingered the letters on his collar speculatively and confessed that he did not know exactly what they meant. Since last January University cadets have been members of the R. O. T. C. or reserve officers' training corps. Freshmen and sopL. mores are re quired to t-ake the work. Juniors and seniors who wish to take the training may do so if the commandant choses them. They sign a contract to go to two training camps during the sum mer, one at the end of their Junior, and one at t'he end of their senior years. They are paid ?9 per month. At the completion of the four-year course, the man who has attended the camps may enter the United States army as a second lieutenant with a salary of $100 per month. At the end ritfht. Justice and liberty which have pn served and protoited mankind. He nhould understand and recognke the forces which make for the destruction of these principles, however, they may be disguised. To him the alleged bene flcient elements of Prussianism are thinnest veneer over rldeous prln tlples destructive of all the good that man has during the centuries wrung from the hands of cruelty and oppres sion. Possessed of this knowledge and of the intuition and Inspiration of youth which gives to him the right and the power to see the truth as it Is, the college nan has a large part of the responsibility of seeing that truth prevails. He will do but half his duty, will meet but half his responsibility, If he merely offers his own life for his country. He must. In addition to and beyond this, see to it that those of us whose vision has been dimmed by con tract with the rough realities of life, share with him his wisdom, his Intui tion and his Inspiration, that we, also, where necessary, shall be Ikewlse will ing to give our lives for truth, liberty and Justice, to the end the world shall be saved for a free hunmanity.

N APPEAL TO STUDENTS TO AID UNCLE SAM'S NAVY Binoculars and Spy-Glasses are Needed for Use on Ships and Destroyers "Will you supply eyes for the navy," Is the call that faces the students and faculty members of the University of Nebraska as well as all other schools of the country. People of this school have In the majority of cases paid but litMe heed to posters asking for co operation with the government in the solution of problems facing it in the present war time program, but are ex pected to give support in this drive. The present campaign is for binocu lars and Bpy-glasses. Posters on the campus bulletin boards read as fol lows: "Will you supply eyes for the navy? Navy ships need binoculars and spy-glasses. Glasses will be re turned at the termination of the war, if possible. One dollar will be paid for each one accepted. Tag each article with your name and address and express or mail to Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, care naval observatory, Washington, D. C. Will you help us 'stand watch' on a destroyer?" CONVOCATION Mr. W. J. Shallcross, state organizer for World Relief, will speak at Con vocation today at 11 o'clock, in the of six months satisfactory service in ' Armory. He will tell about conditions the army, he is commissioned as a reserve officer for ten years. He may attend more summer camps and be promoted. One circle on the shoulder of an R. O. T. C. man means that the man is a second lieutenant; two circles lhat he is a first lieutenant; three that he is a captain. A diamond stands for the major's rank; two diamonds for lieutenant- colonel; three diamonds for colonel. in Armenia and how great t'he need of assistance is "over there." Mr. Shallcross Is very well known through out the United States and is a very interesting speaker. Mr. Jacob Man dalian, a noted Armenian, will also give an address on Armenia as he knew It. THE COLLEGE MAN AND THE WAR (By T. W. Gregory, Attorney General of t'he United States.) The relationship of the college man to this war is almost sui generis. It has a great point of vantage and a great responsibility. Fresh from the study of the course and the instances of history, the col lego man should be able to look through the words and acts with which men and nations sometimes seek to disguise their real motives and pur poses and to see in all their nakedness the true and real objects at which ambitious dynasties and nations aim. After all, the elemental passions of jjreed and avarice vhlou uruvu the Persian to his ruin at- Thermopylae are Identical with those which have influenced dynasties since that time. Taught to detect all these in the ac tions of men and nations in the past, observant of the inexorable rules of cause and effect which have always heretofore and will always hereafter operate while man is man, he should have no illusions as to the great forces which have plunged and are holding the world in their terrible grip. But this is not all. The college man is fresh from his studies of the great principles of ethics and philosophy which thus far have guided tiie world in its march toward a perfect civiliza tion. As he knows the mainsprings of human greed and avarice, so is he familiar with the source of human ASK ALL TO AID IN FINDING "GPADS" OF 1917 (Continued from page one) Larson, Rol Albert, graduate in phrrmacy.

NEBRASKA SCHOOLS UNITE AT STUDENT CONFERENCE (Continued from page one.) plans were made' for going "over the top" with this program in every col lege in the state, under the slogan "North American Students Mobilizing for Christian World Democracy." Sim ilar conferences are being held In every state and the whole college world is responding nobly to the call for voluntary enlistment in this nationwide program. 1. Two hundred thousand students enlisted in study and discussion of Christian principles as related to the present world situation. 2. A call to decision for Christ and His service on the campus, in the nation, in the world. 3. An adequate number of qualified men and women enlisted for the for eign missionary program of the church. 4. One-half million dollars for the foreign missionary program of the Church and such funds as may be necessary to meet the need arising from the war siuatlon in 1918-1919. Missionaries Make Appeals The missionary emphasis was made especially strong by the personal calls given by Or. Reed, a returned mis sionary to Africa; Henry Chung, of Korea; Kano, of Japan; and Vahan H. Vartanian, of Armenia. Vartanian in a powerful appeal asked for help for his countrymen that they might (1) know and follow Jesus Christ at the risk of their Uvea, (2) bring Christianity to the Mohammedan Turks, their persecutors tout not their enemies, and (3) rear the mil lion Armenian orphans of today into Christians who can carry on the work of evangelizing the Turks of tomor row. The conference adjourned Sunday night after voting to hold year's gath ering at Wesleyan University. The state officers elected for the new year were: President, Walter H. Judd, of Nebraska University; vice-president, Floyd Shacklock, of Wesleyan; secretary-treasurer, Miss Harriet Harmon, of Cotner. The 1918 conference will not be for gotten by those who attended. Sev eral persons who had been at the Estes Park, Lake Geneva, Niagara Falls, and even the Northfield Con ferences said that they considered the Nebraska Conference the most effed tive conference and far reaching they have ever known. Certain it is that a great work was undertaken and great inspiration received to carry it out. GOOD SIGHT Comes with wearing glasses that have been correctly fitted.
