Forrese EBtes Carolyn Reed Jack Landale Edna Rohrs ON SIGNING UP rositfons for next year are numer ous. School superintendents are fair ly haunting the campus. Represen tatives from business firms are daily Interviewing students. The salaries that are being offered are tempting. Yet every day or two, University grad uates, especially women, are signing contracts for sixty-five or seventy dol lars a month. A University graduate who signs such a contract does not appreciate the value of his or her col lege training. Such a salary is not a livable one these days. School boards, business firms, have no right to expect University-trained men and women to accept such positions. "YOUNG AMERICA" "Young America," a play written by Francis Ballard, a University gradu ate who received recognition through out the country from his play "Be lieve Me Xantippe," will be given by the University players Monday eve ning, May 13, in the Temple theatre. This presentation by the University players is the first western produc tion of this play. Mr. Ballard is not charging a royalty in this case, he is donating the play as the proceeds goes to the Red Triangle fund. "Be lieve Me Xantippe" is one of the most successful plays the University play ers have given. On account of the high royalty charges it is impossible for University players to give many such plays as "Young America." school fclnce '90, states In a letter re reived at headquarters tbnt Roy F.

THE IDLER IS A SLACKER These are days when the nation and the state demand the active help of every able-bodied man and woman. The man or woman, whether rich or poor, who is voluntarily idle in this hour of the nation's need, is a slack er and is aiding the enemy little less than those under arms against us. Yet it has come to the attention of the State Council of Defense that throughout the state here are armies of these idlers whom no appeal to conscience or patriotism can reach. Therefore, the county councils of the several counties in this state are urged to see to it that their commu nities rigorously enforce the existing laws and ordinances against vagrancy and habitual Idleness.

"If democracy is conquered in this war, all free peoples must either submit to Germany's domi nation or else give up a part of their democracy in order to resist her. We must fight Germany In Europe with help, that we may not have to fight her here in America without help." In a booklet entitled, "Why Amer ica Fights Germany," issued by the Committee on Public Information to day, Prof. J. S. P. Tatlock of San ford University, thus sets forth the fundamental reason for our. partici pation in the war. He shows how Germany has drowned our citizens, sunk our ships, intrigued against us, and outraged our sentiments of right and humanity by her unspeakable outrages in Belgium and France, founded as they are on deliberate principle and percent. He adds, "If we had not fought Germany after her false and brutal conduct, we should have been despised by all the world, including the Germans." The publication may be obtained free by writing to the Committee on Public Information at 8 Jackson Place, Washington, D. C. To Hold Junior Week at University Farm The delay in opening the soldiers' training camp at the L'niversity of Nebraska has made possible this spring the' usual Junior week at the University farm. Two hundred boys and girls from all sections of the state will be gathered at the Univer sity farm for a week's outing and schooling May 20-24. It will be known as Junior farmers' week. Boys and girls who have taken part or are taking part in any one of the Junior projects in the state, such as pig, garden, poultry, cooking, sewing or canning work, or who won honors in the county projects, are eligible to attend the week. More than 100 who won prizes offered by the stock yards companies of Omaha, Sioux City and St. Joseph will attend. These will have their expenses paid. Others may come by paying their railroad fare and $6 for their expenses while here. The girls will be housed In the home economics building and the boys in the stock Judging pavilion on the University farm campus. All will eat at the University farm cafeteria. The boys will be given instruction in ag riculture and the girls in home eco nomics, canning and poultry raising Afternoon excursions will be made to points of interest in the city.
