THE CHANCELLOR'S ADDRESS
Each year at Nebraska the Chan
cellor greets new and old students at
the first convocation of the year with
general advice and touchstones by
which they may be guided during the
year. . The policy of the University
and the duties of the members of Us
families are outlined and made clear.
This year Chancellor Hastings has
chosen as the sugject for his key-note
address, "Democracy, War and Edu
cation." His explanation of the place
of education in a democracy and the
value of education in war times merits
the attendance of every student in the
University during the 11 o'clock hour
in Memorial hall Tuesday evening.
A SECOND APPEAL
Nebraska students are called upon
this week to show they are loyal
members of the Cornhusker family.
Coach Kline has found it necessary
to issue a second call for eligible vol
unteers to fill out the depleted ranks
of the gridiron machine only ten days
before the opening game. With only
enough upperclassmen on the field
every afternoon for a single squad
Nebraska's prospects will drop to the
lero point unless students and faculty
come to the rescue with united sup
port
Every Btudent should feel himself
personally responsible for the suc
cess of the team this year and for
the maintainance of Nebraska's
record abroad. . Loyal fooball follow
ers worked Monday in beginning a
combing of the campus for every man
that looks like a future Chamberlain
or Halligan. Men in the sophomore,
junior or senior classes who weigh
165 pounds have a better chance for
making the varsity this year than has
ever been offered, according to Coach
Kline and Director Scott; men in this
class must consider it a duty to their
school to report at this time.
During the week the combing will
continue on the campus. Some organ
ization will be found through which
the work may be carried on and it is
probable that a man will be assigned
every fraternity and boarding house
to search for eligible material. These
men will, in a large measure, be re
sponsible for Nebraska's record this
year and students, especially eligible
players, Bhould fall in line and respond
to their call.
Men who report for 'ootball may feel
that they have the entire approval of
ae government. From time to time
during the summer the federal execu
tives have shown their friendliness
toward the game .and the latest rul
ing from Washington allowing it to
continue is a direct tribute to 6port
as a military asset, captain .Mac
Ivor, commandant of the S. A. T. C,
has given his enthusiastic support and
has expressed the opinion that train
ing In football is of great benefit to
leaders in the army.
Football training this year should be
considered a service to the govern
ment and a duty to the University by
every student at Nebraska and should
receive support as such. Head Coach
Kline should not be called upon to
issue a third appeal for men to uphold
Nebraska's gridiron record.
Engineers Given Diplomas
At Close of Summer Term
An unusual item of interest may be
mentioned in regard to the work in
he college of engineering in that
here were five diplomas granted to
f
1 m .
'engineers at tne end of the summer
session, 1918. Four of these were
received at the end of the nsual eight
weeks' summer school course, and one
tar at the
was isauoa iour
close of the newly Instituted "second
term.'
Don't Think the War at
An End Until Every Hun
Is Licked andJKnows it
To speculate upon when the war
will end M a useless, foolish thing.
H will only end when every German
is licked and knows It. To stop and
think or argue about It will only slow
people up on the tasks that they hi' o
to do and will therefore make them
100 efficient to the government.
Whenever you read in a newspaper
that the Americana in France have ad
vanced a mile, taken a town, or cap
tured another 1.000 Helnes, cheer for
them. Tell every one what fine sol
diers they are, write them what fine
soldiers they are, but don't fall into
the habit of thinking the war is over,
don't let anyone you know fall Into
thinking in that manner.
To argue or say the Germans are
whipped only strengthens their peace
offensive so be careful of the way
you express your opinions about the
war.
SEES HOPE IN WILSON'S
PROMISE TO ALL NATIONS
T.
O. Sedlock, Former Physical
Education Instructor, Writes
Nebraskan From France
That the Ciecho-Slovak army Is in
spired to greater strength in the fight
for the freedom of their country by
the words of President. Wilson Is evi
denced by a letter received recently
from T. O. Sedlock with the Ciecho
Slovak army in France. Mr. Sedlock,
who was Instructor in the physical
education department last year, join
ed the standards of his country and
was taken with his division to France.
He is still Interested in University
affairs and hints of a longing ap
proaching "homesickness" for The
Dally Nebraskan.
Following is a part of the letter:
"Last year I was an instructor in
physical education there, ' but was
obliged to join the Czecho-Slovac
army, which is now fighting on three
fronts: French, Italian and Siberian.
(It will soon be Russian again.)
Some 150,000 of our brave boys will
create such trouble for the Germans
and Bolshivikis that it will shorten
the deadly breath of both.
"What makes us happy here, is the
presence of so many American boys
in this region, to whom we enjoy talk
ing and beside whom we are fighting.
We are always glad to get something
to read from them for reading matter
Is very scarce here and badly needed.
"There are 1,200 of us in this army
from the United States, but no one
takes care of us. Your gallant army
is backed by the nation, as are the
French, English and Italian, but our
nation is breathing deeply under the
heel of Austria. Soon it. will be bet
ter. President Wilson said that the
small nations will live freely after
the end of the war. The justice and
right will be everywhere.
"Sincerely yours,
"T. O. SEDLOCK.

SOLDIERS I N BRITISH
CARRY STICKS
ARMY
It is one of the regulations of the
British army that every soldier, when
walking out, must carry in his hand a
stick, in order to preserve a soldierly
appearance and prevent anything like
slouching in his gait. This rule, says
Dundee Advertiser, applies to all
ranks, and should anyone seek to
evade it ne would find his progress
barred by the sentry at the barrack
gate or entrance to camp.
Privates generally carry light canes
or "swagger sticks," noncommissioned
officers fairly stout sticks, and officers
invariably go in for the more expen
sive kind.
From the earliest times drill ser
geants and drum majors have carried
sticks, and the fashion may have come
from that fact.
Soldiers, as a rule, buy their own
sticks, but In one or two regiments a
recruit is presented with uuc when be
gets his uniform. If this gets lost,
however, he .has to buy the next and
subsequent ones.
NEBRASKA ALUMNUS
DISTINGUISHES SELF
IN MEDICAL CAMPAIGN
A letter has been received at the
alumni headquarters from C. W.
Rhodes, class of 1876, who Is living In
Salt Lake City, and extracts from the
letter follow:
"It will be of interest to the alumni
to know of the high honor that has
been recently conferred upon an ex
tremely modest son of our dear Alma
Mater. It has been a pet scheme of
Surgeon General Gorgas, In charge of
medical work in the war, and whose
success in cleaning up Panama and
the Canal Zone is so well known to
stamp out the yellow fever scourge In
South America and elsewhere.
Through his efforts, the international
health board, financed by the Rocke
feller foundation for medical research,
recently appointed a commission of
five men who stand high in the scien
tific world along the lines of bacteri
ology, to visit South America and
study yellow fever in the hospitals and
laboratories.
This commission is composed of
Dr. Arthur I. Kendall, dean of North
westrn Medical College, who was bac
teriology inspector under Genera)
Gorgas at Panama; Dr. Hideyo No
guchl, the Japanese scientist, said to
head all others In this line of re
search; Dr. Charles A. Elliott, profes
sor of medicine of Northwestern Unl
versity; Dr. Herman Redenbaugh, in
structor of Chemistry at the same in
stitution; Dr. Maris C. Lebredo, direc
tor of the laboratory of investigation
and hospital of infectious disease at
Havana.
The commission sailed from New
York in June for Colon, Panama,
thence to Guayaquil, Ecuador, where
yellow fever thrives, later to go to
Quito near the equator. El Guante
of July 9th and El Telegrafo of July
10th contain first-page illustrated ar
ticles describing the landing of the
hygienic commission and its enthus
iastic reception at Guayaquil.
Dr. Elliot's mother, Mrs. Frank R,
Elliot, some years ago well-known art
instructor at the University of Ne
braska, last year took a special course
i In Medieval history at the University
Vf California and received highest
mark for a paper treating of "The sur
vival of paganism in Christianity as
seen through art mediums, architec
ture, sculpture, mosiac and paintings
or frescoes." She was urged to go
deeper into the subject and publish
her investigations.

RED, EMBLEM OF DOMINATION
Has From Time Immemorial Been Sig
nificant of High Authority Blue
Called Qloak of Heaven
Of all bright colors red is the favor
ite among primitive peoples. It ex
cites to violence In flags and uniforms.
Red ia the emblem of domination In
politics and religion. The cardinal and
the doctor of divinity have their red
robes.
On the other hand, red has replaced
green in one respect as a restful color.
At great state functions out of doors
in India, such as a durbar, red unbrel
las are preferred to green as an effec
tive sunshade.
Blue has a minor influence. Curious
ly enough, it appears only to affect the
cat in the same way that red affects
other animals. Humanity has a re
spect for blue, which is the cloak of
heaven. In legends and fairy tales
it is the, good little boy, destined to
achieve success in lire and marry a
princess, who is described as clothed
in blue, while a red blouse serves for
the bad boy.

ined and passed, are not as yet offi
cially sworn in as soldiers, On Octo
ber 1 they will take the oath and then
are governed by military law. Until
then they may change schools, Join
other military branches or withdraw
altogether.
The following order came as a big
surprise to many a student. The or
der is official from Captain Maclvor
and was Issued to make certain mat
ters plain. It is self-explanatory.
Captain Maclvor wishes to remind
every one concerned that its contents
must be followed to the letter.
"Sept 23, 1918.
I "Notice to Men Who Registered Prior
to September 12, 1918."
"All men who registered June 6th,
1917, June 6th, 1918, and August 24th,
1918, are ineligible for induction into
the S. A. T. C. until after October
16th.
"The men who come within these
classes and who are registered In the
University of Nebraska, may continue
their courses in the University until
induction. Upon Induction after Oc
tober 15th, these men will become
members of the S. A. T. C, their tui
tion will be paid from that time by
the government, subsistence, quarters
and clothing will be furnished at the
expense of the government and they
will be paid as privates In the army.
"Question has arisen about the
status of those men who may be called
for service by their local boards be
fore October 15th. There is nothing
to be said to them except that they are
subject to call at all times by the
local boards until the time that the
local board shall be notified by the
provost marshal general that their
induction into the S. A. T. C. is de
sired. These men are without remedy
unless, by agreement with the local
board, their call can be deferred un
til after October 15th, thereby afford
ing them an opportunity to become
inducted into the S. A. T. C.
"The commanding officer has ar
ranged matters in the 6. A- T. C. so
that these students will -be able to
drill with the S. A. T. C. units until
the time of their induction, and it will
not be necessary for them to purchase
uniforms. They will probably have to
drill in their civilian clothes, but as
it would be a period of two weeks
only, the commanding officer deems it
unnecessary to compel the purchase
of uniforms."
