By the time the group had mastered
their subject matter they had become

themselves out to th farmers In

The girls lived In frontier style.
They used one tent for store room and
cooking purposes and the other to
sleep In in times of bad weather,

simply rolled themselves up In blank

flooded for almost the entire summer
with prospective students and parents
who wished Information regarding the
recent government proposal to take
over the university campus for mili
tary purposes.
Although a good sized army of stu
dent soldiers will continue to train
here during the entire course, the
normal work of the University will
continue unobstructed and all colleges
will be open to the regular enlistment
of co-eds and those male students who
have not applied for admittance to the
Students' Army Training corps.
Course Will Be Continued
While some courses have been alter
ed to meet the demands of the new

, will remain the same and Instructor?
ihave been provided to offer the same
amount and quality of instruction as
had in previous years.
Among the colleges offering special
work adapted to the needs of soldiers
will be the Engineering College and
possibly the Medical College. The Law
College has also changed its courses
somewhat to meet the requirements
but it Is thought that provision will
be made for those who are not in the
S. A. T. C. and who wish to carry on
the normal law work. Dr. H. B. Alex

,be especially beneficial for student sol

PLEASURE IN MAKING OTHERS
HAPPY
If those of us who are spending our
reives In the pursuit of empty pleas
ures stop for a moment and, resolving
to look up our ill or less fortunate
friends, would go to see them once in
a while, or would 6en1 some brief mes
sage of cheer, we would experience a
Joy delightfully r.ew and satisfying to
ovrselves. We would find it far more
worth while to bring a smile to lips
that have been set with pain or sorrow
than to seek pleasure that may amuse
us idly for a moment and then, because
we are satiated mith "good times," in
terest us no longer. Exchange.

Students Willing To
Forget Frivolly of
Day Before the War
With the opening of University all
the "older, and of course, wl?er" stu
dents tell their freshmen friends of the
Joys of University life, especially at
the week ends. But did you ever no
tice that they always end their tale
with "but of course it won't be any
thing like last year, why last year we
had" etc., etc. However, the little
freshman has taken liKle stock in tl:e-o
Lsuperior tales of ye upper classmen."
But this year it will be true and as
everything seems to come unrler the
heading of: "Ce'zt le guerre" so does
this. Formal parties, dress suits,
fluffy tulle and corsage bouquets are a
thing of the past, they belong to the
day before the war.
Nevertheless with some 2.5C0 men
in military training, receiving leaves
on- Saturday, those cf the fairer fexa ;
will come to the rescue. Many of the
sororites will be hostesses to informal
but mighty jolly dances at. their fra
ternity hemes during the winter. Quite
a number fraternity men will have the
privilege of enjoying their fratern'ty
houses at week ends, also. And then
as ever the homes of many Lincoln
people with sons or daugh'ers in the
small house dances or "Hoover" din
ner parties.' And then there will be
those overly crowded but "heaps of
fun mixers" for all University folks.
And so after all one can have a
rretty fine time almost anywhere,
under any conditions if one wants- to
try hard enough. And that is exactly
what we of the University are going to
J prove.
