A. T. C. Drill Well Under Way and Mess Call Sounded Tuesday Morning Rest of the Applicants Soon to Complete Their Induction The S. A. T. C. men ure progressing remarkably well in their drill accord ing to a statement by the command ant, Captain Maclvor. The command ing officer inspected the 7000 fully in ducted men Tuesday during the regu lar morning drill. The rookies are being taught the rudiments of military drill. Monday morning the whole of the two hours was spent in mastering the Tarings and dressings. In the afternoon drill the same things were reviewed, noth ing being added. A great deal of time Is devoted to each exercise to insure exact precision and quickness. Already a change is seen in the men participating. Often they may be :etn snapping their right hand to the right side of their head dress. That military technique Is conduc ive of pride and a feeling of import ance is shown by the military manner in which the men go to their classes. Tuesday morning the drill sergeants surprised the recruits by springing a number of different movements. They were given the marchings including side stepping and backward marching. In these movements the men showed even greater interest. Minor promotions are already being made in the unit. A number of old university men and Camp Sheridan men -or nctfrtflf - w- morfftmnte . Stanley Hall is .acting as top sergeant. He has attended the Flattsmouth mil itary academy. The commandant an nounced that every man would be al lowed to act as an officer and in this way receive training similar to that of an officers' training camp.

Sergeant Webb says that the rest of the "competent" papers are here. The rest of the S. A. T. C. prospects, 640. will be taken in Thursday. Mess Call Sounded At 6:30 o'clock Tuesday morning the members of the S. a. T. C. who are fully inducted, formed a line one block long to-receive their first breakfast in the government mess hall located in the Temple. The hour set for the first meal of the day was rather early and consequently only half of the fully in ducted rookies were present. Those who were there declared mat me breakfast was a feast. From now on as soon as the men are inducted they will be given a meal ticket which will admit them to the mess line. By the end of the week T. A. Williams expects to be feeding 1500 young" soldiers. He is ready for them now but the papers have not been filled out in the case of half of the S. A. T. C. men. college affairs.

She was a graduate of Broken Bow high school, and until recently when she and Mrs. Pelton moved to Lincoln had made her home in Beatrice.

EPIDEMIC NOT YET CAUSE FOR ALARM Despite the number of new cases of influenza reported yesterday the epi demic seems to be on the wane, and the caes are becoming less perious owing to the care taken by officials to prevent the further spread of the dis ease, and to the precautions observed , by individuals. Among the cases re ported yesterday were Dr. R. G. Clapp, Professor R. D. Scott and Professor F. A. Stuff. All the cases reported are under medical care and are much lighter In nature than they have Leen previously. There are four hospitals on the camp us taking care of over three hundred cases, while two hospitals at the farm campus are caring for some one hundred and eighty patients. Most of the recent cases recover in from three to five clays, and caufe lit tle suffering or inconvenience to the patient if properly cared for. Dean Engberg stated yesterday that if the precautions formerly given out to the students wre observed there was lit tle case for alarm, and that the situa tion as it exists at the university is in an encouraging condition. In accordance with the order from Dean Engberg and Dean Heppner that all social affairs for the week-end be cancelled all meeting of literary so cieties will be postponed. FIRST YEAR MEN GIVEN GOOD - POINTED ADYICE Captain Maclvor and Dean Eng berg Address Freshmen at Annual Convocation ... First year men took time off during the political campaign Tuesday while the polls were closed" from eleven o'clock until twelve o'clock for their annual convocation in the Temple the atre. Walter Blunk presided and spoke of the various activities which .freshmen could enter. He introduced Captain Maclvor, who pointed out the way before them since their entrance into the army. Dean C. C. Engberg told of the necessity of keeping up their scholastic standing from the start. Captain Maclvor emphasized the ad vantages the men had in entering the university at this time. "You have no errors to correct," he said, "and it is much easier to learn the military work correctly the first time than to be forced to get out of wrong habits." You who are here for the first time can much more easily adapt your selves to the requirements than those who have been used to many of the haphazard practices of former years. Discipline Makes Leaders 'Discipline makes leaders and it is leaders that are needed at the pres- j ent time. Leaders wno can ieu t.. men by firmness and kindness are me men who will succeed and it Is this method of leadership which will be taught. It is this sort of leadership that you will meet this year. Give us 50-50 and you will succeed. "The spirit that has made you fight for your school and your alma mater should urge you to resolve to work for your school this year. Every man in this training corps is officer mater ial and will be kept in school if it is found that he is officer type. The only way in which you can be officer type is to be a gentleman always. The men who remain in this school must be real men. of clean cut manners and physical excellence and none others are wanted. Every man should be ready to lake the responsibility that is placed upon his shoulders and re member when he has accepted it that many mother's sons are dependent up on his judgment and care. Advises Hard Work -I have heard that some men have expressed their intention to do poor work here in order to be transferred more ouickly to the active service.

Mary Helen Allensworth of Lincoln NOTRE DAME WILL COME TO LINCOLN Accepts Cornhusker's Offer For Game on November 2 on Nebraska Field Date With Camp Dodge Soldiers For October 26 Still Hanging Fire Coach Kline's dickering with Notre Dame for a game on November 2 have borne fruit and the Catholics are com ing to Lincoln on the above date in place of October 19. which had to be cancelled on account of a new war department ruling. The telegram from Coach Rochne of the Indiana institu tion, which arrived about 4:30 yester day afternoon, reads: "W. G. Kline, football coach of the University of Nebraska, Lincoln: Can play November second, on same terms. K. K. Rochne." This news was oil on the troubled waters for the sixth big number on 'he Husker bill which has been hanging fire since Monday when Kline receiv ed the notification that the game as previously arranged would have to be abandoned. The war department re quested that the real competitive sea son in S. A. T. C. schools be confined to. the month of November, after all physicall fit soldiers were given the football training u inter-company games during October.

In the Junior class Orville Kller brock won the class presidency over Paul J. Peterson and Webb Rlshards was selected member of the publica tion board over Neil T. Chadderdon. Charles Gillilan of Hardy was elected president of the sophomores over Helen Larson of St. Paul by a vote of 132 to 69. Chalmers K. Seymour of Omaha was elected president of the fresh man class with 336 votes, a lead of 155 over Don D. Gildersleeve of Wayne, his nearest opponent. Record Freshman Vote Heavy voting in the freshman class featured the election, nearly twice as many first-year students voting as cast their ballots in either of the past two years. A total of 729 votes were cast in this class as compared with 442 cast in the first semester last year and 344 in the first semester two years ago. Although first-year men have never been so numerous on the campus as this year it is believed that this years' class has the highest per centage record that has been estab lished. Yearlings who escaped the work of the machines of the six candi dates in the race were few. Electioneering in all of the classes and for every office was unusually vig orous and the section of the campus be tween University hall and the ballot boxes in Memorial hall was a mael strom of political candidates and their prospects from nine o'clock to eleven o'clock in the forenoon and from two o'clock to five o'clck in the afternon. Never were so many old acquaintances renewed and so mam' lone-forgotten friendships remembered as during the five hours the polls were open and never did the lonely freshmen receive so many reassuring handshakes. Promptly with the closing of the doors at five o'clock candidates turned with relief from their day's labors to depart for hoir.e and a liniment bottle, leaving their friends to stand guard until the ballots were country. The results were posted on the bulletin board in front of Administration build ing at 6:45 o'clock.
