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."

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. University of
Washington News Editor.
CONVOCATION
Mr. Charles Matson will give a pa
triotic address at convocation at 11

With the school year coming to a

ever-increasing crowds.

Why America Fights
Germany Summarized
Washington, D. C. "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."

free by writing to the Committee on
Public Information at 8 Jackson Place,

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.
