One Period Course Evenings,
New Schedule
According to the latest announce
meat by Dean C. C. Engberg, each
member of the S. A. T. C. will drill
three hours a day. The work will be
divided Into two parts and into two
divisions. One division will drill
from eight to ten In the morning and
from five to six in the afternoon. The
other division will start at nine and
drill till eleven o'clock. They will
also drill from five to six. The stu
dents will be given a chance to pick
their divisions as far as practicable.
The purpose of the change was to
allow for physical Impediments which
would be met were the drill to be
;. done all at once. The new plan also
. eliminates many morning conflicts.
The military authorities In charge
of the S. A. T. C. at the University
spent all day Tuesday on the examlna
tlon blanks which had been filled Mon
day. There were no physical examl-
nations given Tuesday on account of

Constructing Mess Hall
Just now, however, T. A. Williams,
to have charge of the mess, is the
busiest man in Lincoln. While an
other mess hall, 60x100 feet is being
built with much speed, he is storing
thousands of dollars worth of food for
the new army. Dy October 1 he will
be able to feed 3200 men per hour at
the east side of the Temple building.
To accommodate such a large num
ber he uses two mess halls with a
seating capacity of 800 at one time.
Four steam tables will work like light
ning each meal. An electric washer
will wash the dishes which are sorted
beforehand by the soldiers. These
washers can handle 10,000 dishes per
hour.
The meals served will conform to
the regular army rations. However,
Mr. Williams Bays that the boys are
receiving better meals here than at any
other cantonment in the country. The
officers accuse him of spoiling the sol
diers. So the boys need not be Res
pondent over the food situation.

FRESHMEN DENIED
ANNUAL LIBRARY TOUR
On account of the Increased number
of divisions in the rhetoric depart
ment this year, the library has found
it Impossible to arrange for the an
nual freshman tours thru Library hall.
Formerly each division was taken to
the library and made acquainted with
the general knowledge necessary for
a practical use of it. but, as the usual
ten or twelve divisions have soared
to twenty-one, this plan has been given
up for the time being.

Convocation
According to the time honored cus
tom of the University, the opening
convocation held In the Temple the
atre at eleven o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, was given to the address of the
chancellor. Professor Grumann pre
sided and the program was opened
with the singing of "My Country 'Tis
Of Thee." The huge service flag of
the university, bearing its eight gold
stars, which was draped above the
platform, bespoke the seriousness of
the ...xasion. An expressive song,
"Why Love Is King," was sung by
Charles L. Bagley.
Chancellor Hastings began his ad
dress by explaining that he was a
war substitute for Chancellor Avery,
who is in Washington on very import
ant chemical war work.' On August
29 and 30 Chancellor Hastings attend
ed a conference at Ft. Sheridan, Illi
nois, of the presidents of colleges of
the country. The new man-power
bill which congress has just passed
has made it necessary for all the lads
between the ages of eighteen and
twenty-one to be made soldiers. For
this purpose it was decided at the
meeting, to devote eleven hours a
week to military work.
Democracy's Meaning
The chancellor chose for his theme,
"Democracy, War and Education," as
they have developed and will continue
to develop. In order to understand
this it is necessary to define democ
racy. According to the chancellor it
can mean three things. It may mean
a form of government, it may mean a
social organization or it may mean a
mass of people with the individuals
considered as atoms merely because
they are a part of the mass. We are
a democracy within a republic.
Since the government has decided to
enter the great struggle, we must
stand back of It manfully. One rea
son that the world today is In this
awful strife is because those who do
not believe in democracy, despise its
strength. They know that a nation
that prides itself in being. pacific, when
roused, is very dangerous.
John Stewart Mill was a champion
of democracy because of the benefits
he believed could be reaped from it,

IJULGfJEL REESE
Head of S. A. T. C. Sends Word
Recommending Valley Rule
Be Suspended
Considers Training of Soldiers
Should Supercede All Other
Considerations
War department officials received
word Tuesday from Colonel Reese.head
of the S. A. T. C. units in 400 colleges,
that it was his wishes to have the uni
versity remove the ban on freshman
football playing during the period of
the war. The recommendation from
Colcnel Reese amounts practically to
nn order, and leads Captain Maclvor
to believe that without doubt fresh
men will be eligible for varsity foot
ball this year.
Coach W. G. Kline thinks that the
recommendation from the army offi
cial is for the good of the United
States army and navy service, and will
be a great help to the army authorities
in developing men who will have the
physical and mental qualifications for
active duty in the trenches in France.
From now until the end of the war
football is to be looked upon as an aid
to the service, and participation in the
game will be regarded as a patriotic
act.
In case the ban on freshman football
is not lifted, however, there will- be an
urgent need for eligible upperclass
men on the squad. At this time about
twelve men are out for the team who
are eligible to play according to the
old Missouri Valley ruling, and a great
opportunity exists for men who are
upperclassmen In the university.
Coach Kline appeals to all older uni
versity men, and asks them that they

REGENTS ACCEPT LINCOLN
DENTAL COLLEGE AS GIFT
FROM DEAN W.C. DAVIS
Entire Institution Given Over and
Made a Part of the
University
Faculty Now in the Employ of
The State School Has
National Prestige
The Lincoln dental college with its
equipment and faculty int-act has been
taken over and made a part of Nebras
ka University according to the action
of the regents Monday night. The
students now enrolled come under the
direct supervision of the university
and the entire faculty including Dr.
W. Clyde Davis, dean, are in the em
ploy of the state institution.
Negotiations have been under way
for some time since Dr. Davis offered
to make a present of the school to the
university.. The rooms in the Oliver
theatre building will te rented until
suitable quarters can be made ready
on the- campus, and the extensive
equipment will be rented until the
regents see fit to purchase it.
The enrollment has been close to
a hundred and registration will be
open until October 1. The course,
which is a four-year course, is open to
any high school graduate but It is not
yet known what connection It will
have with S. A. T. C. men. A large
number of upperclassmen in the den
tal college are enlisted in the dental
reserve ' corps and subject to call
when needed.
Founded By Dr. Davis
The Lincoln dental college was
formed in 1899 by Dr. W. Clyde Davis,
a dentist and physician and surgeon
who has done much toward advance
ment of modern, particular operative,
dentistry. Prior to 1899 the college
was affiliated with Cotner university

ka spirit and get out on the football
field, and at least make an attempt
for a place on the squad. The chances
for making an "N" were never better
than they are at this time.
8yracute Game Doubtful
A wire received from the comman
dant at Syracuse university a week
ago, stated that the authorities there
did not look with favor upon the game
with Nebraska, scheduled for Thanks
giving day. Coach Kline wishes to em
phasize,, however, that Nebraska stu
dents need not fear of missing the
event of a big game on Turkey day.
If Syracuse is not here then it Is as
sured that some other engagement
will be had with a team of equal
strength, and that the game will not
lack any of the spice and ginger that
always Is associated with the annual
Thanksgiving day game. The games
with Northwestern and Notre Dame
are assured, the schedule of North
western being O. K.'d completely. As
yet we have not been denied the West
Virginia game, although the chances
for it are pretty small. Professor
Scott and Coach Kline have never
favored the game but for two reasons
we were West Virginia's big attrac
tion and our squad wanted the trip.
Probable Line-up
At this time it is not possible to tell
much of what the line-up will be for
the first game. However, the follow
ing will probably be used in the first
scrimmage:
Backfleld: Shellenbergei1, McMahon,
Hubka, Swansou or Newman.
Tackles: Lyman, DuTeau.
Guards: Gibbs, Ross and Munn.
Center: Lamphere or Baston.
McCoy, Jobes, Lees, Thiel, Caser
and Bailey are all showing up well on
ends.
Arrangements are now being made
for the first game with the freshmen
to be played Saturday.
and was taken over and reorganized
by Dean Davis who changed the name
to the Lincoln dental college. The
school for a number of years after Its
beginning occupied rooms in the old
Nebraska state bank building at Fif
teenth and O streets. In 1913 quar
ters were secured in the Oliver
theatre building, where all of the
fourth and the greater part of the
third boors are used by the institu
tion. Since 1904 the college has been
loosely affiliated with the University
of Nebraska, the courses in the gen
eral science being taught in the uni
versity laboratories and only the
strictly dental subjects being given at
the college. So far th.e first two year
students in the college took a greater
part of their work on the state univer
sity campus.
The faculty of the institution,
which it was decided by the regents
would remain intact, is for the greater
part composed of practicing dentists
of Lincoln. The total number of In
structors at the college at the present
time is fifteen, all of whom are active
in the practice of dentistry, either in
the city or at the college.
During the time that the college has
been under the direct supervision of
Dr. Davis it has grown to be rec
ognized by the national association of
dental examiners as one of the best
registered with that organization.
