FOOTBALL'S CAREER
In the athletic department this
year, as Jn nearly every other depart
ment of the University, affairs are In
a somewhat hazy condition. Events i
of the summer, chief among which
was the establishment of a unit or
the students' army training corps at
Nebraska, made necessary an en
tire reorganization of the plans and
It is only within the past week that it
has been certain that intercollegiate
contests would be possible.
Announcement from Colonel Rees,
chairman of the educational commit
tee, war department, to the effect that
gridiron contests with other S. A. T.
C. units would probably be possible
In-so-far as they did not interfere with
military training, came just before the
opening of the registration week.
With the possible exception of the
West Virginia contest it is thought
probable by Captain Maclvor that
the Cornhuskers will be able to play
their entire schedule of eight games If
other commandants are willing.
The ruling of Colonel Rees last
week followed a less definite an
nouncement to the effect that Inter
collegiate athletics as now conducted
might be Impossible under S. A. T. C.
regulations. Vpon learning of the un
favorable ruling, booster of football,
realizing the Importance of the game
during war times, telegraphed to sen
ators and representatives at Wash
ington asking that efforts be made to
make the sport possible. Senator
Hitchcock immediately took the mat
ter before Colonel Reea and the fa
vorable answer was the result. A
great deal of the credit for the rul
ing goes to Charles (Cy) Sherman, a
loyal Nebraska booster for many
years, who led the agitation for fa
vorable action.
The government ruling Is official
confirmation of the view that athlet
ics are a necessity in war times. Mil
itary officers In every camp and
training station In the country are
enthusiastic in their praise of the
worth and ability of the athlete and
particularly of the football man. In
no other way, they say, are the men
able to obtain the Initiative and
"punch" which makes the American
soldier victorious in every attack in
which he figures.
CURRENT EVENTS
Nebraska students should feel that
one of their chief obligations incurred
by the presence In school is that of
keeping informed on world movements
and their relation to the program of
the United States. It is to the uni
versities and colleges of the country
that the government has to look for
men and women who are awake to the
needs of the present and who are
familiar with the progress of world
events.
Current books and magazines pro
vide one form in which this Informa
tion may be obtained and a number
of students take advantage of those
provided In the library and keep them
selves in touch with current events.
This number, however, is so 6mall in
comparison with the total number of
students that it is almost inconse
quential. Students who after a very brief in
trospection find that they are entirely
at sea when conversation tends to
ward world events and who find irk-

some unguided self-instruction from
magazine sources will find exactly
what they wish in Professor Roy
Cochran's two-hour course in Current
events.
To make the work interesting and
at the same time attractive has been
Professor Cochran's aim in outlining
this course. Various members of the
class will read up on different ques
tions for their preparation and in class
will give concise accurate accounts of
events in various phases of world
activity. Professor Cochran has been
war-aims lecturer for the 927 drafted
men in the University during the sum
mer. Students who need a two or
three course to complete their sched
ule will do well to register for Cur
rent Events.
Twenty-eight members of the I. W.
, arrested at Omaha in a big raid
last winter, will be dealt with by the
federal grand Jury which is in session
there. District Attorney Allen said
this was perhaps the most important
case to be considered at this session.
SOCIAL SCIENCE BUILDING
TO HOUSE LIEN OF S. A. T. C.
New Campus Structure to Be
Fitted For Barrack Ee-
quirements
Agents of the internal revenue de
partment are working In the different
dairy product centers of Iowa and
Nebraska, making tests of the butter
that is being put out by the different
creameries and butter ladelers. It
has been v -ported that manufacturers
were working in more than the normal
quantity of moisture and were celling
the excess of water at butter prices.
That Doane college will be a unit of
the student's army training corps un
der the same head with Nebraska
Wesleyan was the decision of the ad
jutant general received in Crete ts
week. Rifles, uniforms and other
equipment will be shipped soon.
An open conference to be held in
Lincoln, probably In the capitol. will
be called by the Americanization com
mittee which Governor Neville named
some weeks ago. The date for this
conference is September 16.
The board of regents of the Univer
sity of Nebraska set aside the new
Social Science building on the uni
versity campus for use as barracks for
the student army training corps, nd
will. proceed immediately to refittiig
the structure to meet war department
requirements in arrangement board
and sanitation.
The board at the same time wire
the war department to inquire if pri
vate houses In the vicinity of the uni
versity could not be used as tempo
rary barracks until university build
ing could be properly remodelled.
The university is riuired to house
and feed the students cf the corps,
under contract with the government,
since men are inducted into the serv
ice and are subWt to full military
discipline.
