fome tlirouch with an answer to
Coach Klines proposition icr umu..

aotbinx very encouraging in the re
ponpe. He says that he has laid the
mawr before the military authorities
,nd must abide by their decision. Tin
S. A. T! C. officials at Urbana may
frown on a trip even as long as one
to Lincoln and as the matter rests en
tirely with the rommandant, nothing
can Le done until he submits his decis
Ion.
Director Scott and Coach Kline put
, up an attractive bid for the Turkey
day match and were hoping to make
arrangements whereby they could
bring the Illinois huskies to Lincoln
for the big dessert on the season's
menu.
Zuppke stated in his telegram of
Friday. October 11. that other games
were in view and he is evidently con
sidering the bids from the other
schools. The possibility of a Thanks
giving game between his pupils and
the eleven from Northwestern or some
other big school nearer home has
probably put a hitch In the proceedings.
COURTESY AND DISCIPLINE

Men Who Joked in Ranks Wed
nesday Are Sent to
Cantonment
In the S. A. T. C. at the University
of Nebraska, lack of courtesy and re
spect to officers, as well as the lack of
military discipline, is a thing of the
past. It has been requested of the stu
dent soldiers that they put away all
college pranks and general foolish
ness and come down to a true realiza
tion that they are soldiers in the U
S. army. A more fair request could
flot be made. A big task is ahead of
every man here as he supposedly
trains for a commission. It is the de
sire of the commanding officers here
that the entire unit work together as
one large family, every one putting
forth the Lest that is in him to main
tain the high standing which has been
established here.
Last Wednesday evening Captain
Maclvor assembled the entire student
so.'der unit in the grandstand, and
guested the attention" of all men
while he read some telegrams and in

fluenza in the city is gradually in

are determined to keep the closing
order in effect until they are ratified
that the danger point is safely passed.
The cider effecting the university
will undoubtedly remain unchanged
until the ban against the theatres,
churches and public schools Is lifted.

ed into single file, blocks lowj, and
m?. reived around Nebraska hall, each
n in- riven a bed tick of heavy
khaki, at the front door. The line
then passed through various turns, at
last reaching the field once more,
passed under t'he grand stand where
a hugh pile of straw, from which each
'illed a tick, was loaded.
There was a great deal of amuse-
ment in the line, especially in the rear,
j Those who were in that section of
I the line showed signs of good soldiers
i when they whistled the old favorite,
: "Pack Up . Your Troubles." The
straw pile gave out before these men
j reached the desired destination and
they were forced to re-fold their ticks
; and turn them in.

Py order of Captain E. J. Maclvor.
The Dally Nebrankan has been trans
formed into a military newspaper and
will in the future be the official organ
of the S. A. T. C. Tbe paper will be
published every day in the school year
except- Saturday and Sunday, whether
classes are held or not. University
soldiers will be held responsible for all
notices and orders which are pub
lished in the pages of The Daily Ne
braskan.
Ccntrolled by Government
The Daily Nebraskan has been con
tracted for by the government, and U
io be as integral a part of the life of
'he S. A. T. C. students, as any ot-hor
phase of their military life. Captain
Maclvor has complete control of The
Daily Nebraskan, and the paper will
be managed according to directions,
sfciied by him.
Must Subscribe
Beginning next week the raper will
be given out only to men who have
subscribed, and men calling for the
paper at- Station A who have not had
their subscription entered with the
business manager, will not be given
the paper. A list of the subscribers
will be at the postoffice, and The
Daily Nebraskan representative will
know who has subscribed for the pa
per. Because of this new ruling, all
men in the S. A. T. C. must of a
necessity subscribe for the paper, and
as the subscription price is soon to be
raised, it is imperative that university
students of the S. A. T. C enter their
subscriptions this week at the stu
dent activities' office.
SCHEOULE NOT TO
DISRUPT
CLASSES
jidedly vague. The Increase in the
lumber of private cases in the city
which accompanied the decrease at
!,he university is considered especial
ly unfortunate, since it may delay the
opening of school Indefinitely.
No new cases of influenza were re
ported to the medical authorities of
.he university Thursday. Eighty-seven
newly drafted members of section B,
who were treatd for the disease up--n
their arrival Wednesday, are so far
entirely free from the disease.
RED TRIANGLE PROGRAMS
Entertainment for the S. A. T. C. men
is being conducted at 7:45 every night
und?r the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.

Cleaning Barracks
The line, as fast as the ticks were
filled, marched over to the new bar
racks .each man carrying his tick.
The work which they were then as
signed to was their first real taste of
hard army life. It showed them that
besides drill and K. P.. duty there
was still one other; barrack duty. The
new barracks had to be cleaned out.
There was old plaster and cement to
be scooped and swept, windows to
wash, heds t-o arrange and the grouna
around the building to be cleaned of
all the rubbish which accumulates in
the process of construction of such a
large buUdins
Lieutenant Spoehr assisted by Top
Sergeant Howarth, oversaw the work.
Each sergeant was detailed to a de
tachment of men and given a certain
duty to perform.
The barracks are in the new Social
Science hall, a well lighted, ventilated
and practically fire proof edifice. The
fineness of the building seemed to
make the men all the more willing
to work and hurry their occupancy of
the quarters.
Of course there is always a certain
amount of sport connected with work
when there is so large a body of men.
Volunteers to move the huge crane in
f-nf nf the building were called for.
The order. "Fall out," was given to
th mPn working at the third story
windows. This and many other little
Jokes went to make the work lighter.
forms with the qualifications origi
nally stated for army service.
It reads:
Subject: "Announcement relative
to the selection of course of study in
connection with S. A. T. C."
Inquiries are being received as to
the selection of courses and subjects
of study by students looking to en
trance into some particular brance of
the service which suggests to the com
mandant the advisability of making
the following statement":
In assigning the soldiers of the stu
dents' army training corps to various
branches of the service the guiding
principle will be to place each man
where he can render his maximum
service consistent with the needs of
the army at the time of his transfer.
Generally speaking a soldier is likely
to give the best account of himself in
the line in which he is most Interested.
Therefore, the preference of regis
trants who are voluntarily Inducted
Into the students' army training corps
as to the branch of the service they
ultimately enter will be given consid
eration except In case military needs
require a different course.
The student soldier Is at liberty
select the program of studies w hich Is
suggested as preparation for the par
ticular branch of the service he de
sires to enter. This choice of a pro
gram of studies does not, however,
constitute the determination of the

All Men Will Take Part in Out
Door Sports Once
. Weekly
Members of the S. A. T. C. need not
become excited in case they find their
school work conflicting with portions
of the military schedule as published
in yesterdays' Nebraskan. An expla
nation of recall from class and a more
definite period for war aims classes
makes fhat schedule a very complete
and satisfactory one.
. Recall from class for , those men
drilling one hour in the morning and
two hours in the afternoon will be
blown at 4 p. m. dai y. Fcr those men
drilling two hours in the morning and
one hour in the afternoon recall from
class will be blown at 5 p. m. daily.
Military and university officials know
the schedule of every man and it is
up to that man to know his schedule
aho. The above being known there
will be no necessity for men drilling
but one hour in the afternoon to be
draw n away from class or study by th
4 o'clock recall; they will keep right
on with their work until the 5 o'clock
recall.
The man who drills one hour .' th.
morning and two in the afternoon will
answer the 4 o'clock recall This plan
will be strictly enforced and thre will
be no disturbance among the men
drilling from 5 to 6 when the 4 o'clock
recall is sounded. It might be added
that the one hour period, whether it
be forenoon or afternoon will be taken
7 chiefly with theoretrlcal work.
War Aims Echedule
War alms classes wlU b held at the
following periods:
