theatre and as a rule were well at
tended by the army men.
Illustrated Talks
Wednesday night Dr. George E.
Condra, of the geography and con
servation department of the univer
sity, gave an illustrated lecoire on h:s
trip to Niagara Falls. Dr. Condra not
only has stereopticon slides, of highly
colored scenes, but he also shows mov
ine nictures that he. has taken. He
shoved the falls In action, in clear
Interesting movies. Also Dr. Condra
has made a study of Nebraska and her
resources, and showed some moving
pictures that he took among the sand
hills in western Nebraska. The idea
the Y. M. C. A. officials want to carry
. out is to the acquaint the men with
the great resources of this state and
and of current events from . the
screen which is a much quicker method
of obtaining information.
Thursday night the men were shown
a five reel picture named "Hard Rock
Breed" and Rev. George Tyner, who
has recently returned from France
where he has been engaged in Y. M.
C. A. work, lectured to the men tell
ing many of his experiences "across
the ponJ." Secretary Fred Aden, who
has been stationed at the army "Y"
all summer, says there is a possibil
ity of getting Reverend Tyner to stay
in Lincoln for work at the S. A. T. C.
camp here.
Similar programs have been given
at the detachm'ent at the academy
during the summer and fall, as well as
at the siate farm where another group
of men has been stationed.

in All Classes According to
Orders
Real military discipline will be re

rection of Dr. Guernsey Jones.
Orders from the war department
read In regard to the classes as fol
ows: "In recitations it must not be for
gotten that the student, as possible
officer material, needs to learr. to
speak on his feet; not only without
nesitation but with clearness and
vigor. He must enunciate distinctly
md pronounce his words correct iy
These things must be insisted upon
whether he is answering a question
;:Uv by the instructor, participating in
x class discussion, or making ar. oial
eport or a short address. To accom
plish this end for all students, small
sections, 20 to 30 in number, are (te
nable." It is also required of the students
.o answer "Yes, Sir," and "No, Sir" in
response to questions and "Here, Sir"
in response to roll call.
Sections io Be Reduced
While the secWons are much larger
than they will be later, the depart
ment has made arrangements to han
iie all and has appointed instructors
t'or quiz sections. There will be two
lasses and a quiz section every week.
Jlasses will be far above their nor-

The transfer of men from the city to

place next Wednesday and there will

jlasses in war aims, but Dr. Jones
i'elt Thursday that rearrangements ia
assignments to quiz sections could be
made quickly and that although some
confusion will necessarily reuiit all
will be running smoothly by the end of
he weeks' work.
A list of the instructors lor the quiz
sections has been made public Tb;

Stndent Soldier Dies Early Thurs
Morning at Military
Academy
Nine Patients Reported Fully Re
covered Others Well Taker
Care of
Influenza, the dread Invader of the
university campus, has marked up one
more victim on his death toll. Joseph
Campbell of Bailey, Colorado, a mem
ber of the Nebraska training detach
ment, died Thursday morning at 6:15
at the university military academy.
The body Is here in Lincoln, held un
til instructions are received from his
family. This was the only fatality re
ported on Thursday, as against the
Lreports earlies in the week.
The roperts from the authorities on
the" campus Thursday are that nine
patients have fully recovered. Other
cases are well taken care of in the
eight emergency hospitals that have
been established on the city campus
and at the farm since the epidemic be
gan last week. A number of these
cases are already among the conva
lescent list.
Damp Weather Unfavorable
In spite of this favorable report, the
damp weather of Thursday was the
cause for the rise in the temperature
of several of the patients. This may
be the cause for the further spread of
the epidemic. Students are therefore
pressed to continue to take the utmost
care of themselves and to follow the
precautions outlined by Dr. Clapp.
No action has been taken yet as to
closing -the university. The spread of
the disease has not been sufficiently
rapid to cause much alarm, and the
situation has not been considered seri
ous enough to warrant any action on
the part of the regents.

REGENTS PROVIDE HONEY
FOR STATE SERUM PLANT
Comply With Governor's Request
to Help Protect Hog Inter
ests of State
Will Need to Borrow Funds to
Build Plant and Provide it
With Facilities
Complying with the governor's re
guest for a serum plant for the pro
duction of hog cholera serum to pro
tect the hog product of this state, the
board of regents of the University or
Nebraska went deeper into the cash
fund Wednesday night for money to
build and maintain a plant at the uni
versity state farm. The money in fact
will have to be borrowed but the re
gents recognize the necessity of again
providing a plant tor the people of the
state.
The probable amount to build such
an institution and provide it with the
J necessary number of hogs and other
operating facilities will be between
150,000 and $75,000 but the regents
expressed themselves as ready to pro
vide the amount for such a state ben
efit.
Following is a letter from chair
man of the board of regents. E. P.
Brown, to Governor Neville, announc
ing the action taken- in regard to his
request:

To this end, they have empowered the
proper officers of the university t
take the necessary steps
The board of regents agree with

FUNST0T1-HUSKER
GAME
CANCELLED
Health Conditions Here Prevent
Invasion of
Soldiers
If No Substitute is to Be Found
Refund Will Be
Made
By an order Issued by Captain Ed
mond J. Maclvor Thursday, Saturday's
big game between Nebraska and Camp
Funston was called off, due to the
health conditions at the university.
The order came like a center rush to
the Huskers, who were fairly aching
to heap revenge on the heads of some
football warriors, be they Hawkeyes
or soldiers. All week the boys have
been working with the pigskin in an
ticipation of Saturday's battle. One
consolation to brood over is that this
period of rest will give the Nebras
ka team more time ,to harden into
shape before the next game.
While the latest imported diseases
from Prussia, more commonly known
on the campus as "the flu," has not
reached as large proportions here as
in many training camps, authorities
agreed that this measure was the only
wise thing to do. No substitute has as
yet been made but Professor R. D.
Scott, who has charge of this part
of the athletic work, says that he
hopes to have the full number of home
games as originally advertised. In
case all six games can not be sched
uled, a refund will be made to stu
dents holding season tickets.
Other dates are still up in the air
except the game with Notre Dame.
Coach Kline closed the deal with the
Catholics last Wednesday. Unless
something unexpected turns up there
will be a big battle staged on the Ne
braska field November second, the
date agreed to by Husker and Hoosier
authorities. If many more of our boys
have thaluek dealed out to them like
McCoy and Cypreanson and get to go
to an officers' training camp, things
will be in a serious state of affairs for
Nebraska. But to have Curly Mc
Mahon back on the Job helps to put
new life and fight in the old machine.
The Cancellation Order
The order from Captain Maclvcr,
cancelling Saturday's game, follows:
Oct. 10. 1918.
From: Commanding Officer.
To: Professor Scott.
Subject: Cancellation of Camp
