In a letter received Monday by
Professor Sarka Hrbkova, chairman
of the woman's committee of the state
council of defense, the committees
are urged to Increase their efforts In
lecruiting student nurses.
Only three states have filled their
Quota and only a few have raised
75 per cent of their number. Nebras
ka has enlisted about three-fourths or
her quota.
Numerous applications have been
received from applicants who do not
fill tie educational requirements. A
high school education Is necessary for
those wishing to enter army hospitals
and the applicants for admission to
civilian hospitals must have completed
the tenth grade.
In order to facilitate the placing of
students the following instructions
have been added:
"If you have a preference either. for
or against a school operating tinder
religious auspices such as Protestant,
Catholic, Jewish, Latter Day Saints,
or Seven-Day Adventist please state
clearly, otherwise you will be sent
where there is the greatest need."

T?1 rrw3un has been

although not as much has been ac--omplished
as many bad hoped, the
task was no easy one. There was
much discussion in reference to the
building and some little scandal crept
'in; then too, a few 6pies were discov

Liberty Motor
As an automobile had a similar type
of engine, the government turned to
the manufactures of these machines
for assistance with the result that the
Liberty motor was brought to the
front and is now being manufactured
in large quantities in both the eight
and twelve cylinder types. It is the

CARNIVAL OF GAIETY
FORSATURDAY EVE
Co-eds and Soldiers to Make
Merry at Lincoln Commercial
Club Rooms
War Camp Community Services
Gives First Entertainment for
'the Season
Jazz music to furnish rhythm and
"pep" and fair coeds to lend enchant
ment, will turn the rooms at the Lin
ccln Commercial Club into a verit
able carnival of fun and gaiety, on
Saturday night when the war camp
immunity service department will
hold the first of the series of dances
that have been planned for the enter
tainment of the men In the service of
"Tncle Sam." Now that the "ban" has
'jeen lifted and the "flu" no 'longer
holds the center of the stage, social
ife begins to come into its own. The
?rst real dance In four weeks then Is
one to be looked forward to with rest
ar.d anticipation.
Rooms Opened to Soldiers
In spite of the fact that the Terpsl
chorean art is the most important fea
ture of the evening, another part of
the program, no less attractive to
fcome, is the opening of the Commer
cial Club rooms on the second floor
at six o'clock to all the men in uni
form. Fourteen tables of free pool
w ill be surrounded by as many-as pos
sible interested and enthusiastic lads
in uniform. From six o'clock until
tight the click of Ivory balls, and the
soft thud as the balls drop into the
pockets, will be the enjoyable sounds
to te heard under the current of
friendly comraderie.
One hundred lucky chaps will be se
lected by Captain Maclvor to attend
be dance, which will begin promptly
U eight o'clock. For this first dance,
which is given under the auspices of
Mrs. T. J. Doyle, one hundred co-eds
of the university will be chosen. Cards
will be issued to them, which will ad
mit them to the building. Only girls
invited and holding these cards, will
be admitted to the dance.
From the looks of the plans of the
committee, this promises to bu one of
the most attractive affairs of the sea
son, and the best part of it is that the.
actual reality will so far exceed all
the forecast's that it well behooves all
fun chasers to f-ee that they are num
bered among tbone present.
PRIVATE IN SECTION "B"
SEVERELY REPRIMANDED
Captain Mac-Ivor's determination to
enforce disciplire among the S. A. T
C. men was again emphasized last
evening when he publicly reprimand
ed a private in Section B, for dis
respect to superiors. Captain Mac-
Ivor called attention of air the men vo
the fact that the man punished was a
new arrival, who had shown disrespect
tii hi Kuoeriors while on the streets.
.lie further stated that the punishment
for this offense would be one full
months' confinement to the post and
whatever other punishment the offi
cers might see fit to impose.
The punishmmf me:eci out in this
case, although seemingly very strict,
is but a warning to other men In the
unit that disrespect will not be toler
ated and that discipline must be en
forced. Alumnus Edits Gramma'- An Eng

Dear Friend:

The hospitality of the people in

sions running all the way from going
to church on Sunday to the commi
nity dance on Saturday night where
the man in uniform meets the flower
of American womanhood who help fit
these champions of liberty and hu
manity for their crusade. In between
the dance and church are concerts,
excursions, free auto rides, home din
ners, sings, parties and a score of oth
er forms of wholesome recreation
where homesick boys far from their
families and In strange surroundings
come in touch with Influences that re
mind them of the folks they left be
hind. The function of our service Is to co
ordinate all existing social faculties
and to cooperate with every legiti
mate endeavor that will help to keep
alive the finer things of life In the
hearts of our boys. To this end we
can work together more wisely and
efficiently if you will make War Camp
Community Service the bureau
through which the various social activ
lties of your city are directed, so far
as they relate to the man in uni
form. War Community Service, in Lincoln,
has been tendered the use of the Elks

This courteous offer we have accepted
and are now in our new headquarters.
This club is a free home for every sol

billiards, a canteen and hospitality.
Let us work together to reduce the
abnormalities of a soldier's life by
making the community adjacent to the
barracks a place where the man in
uniform may live the normal life of a
social being.
Thanking you for your cooperation,
I am
Sincerely,
JOHN WESLEY CARTER.

Future Life ofS. A. T. C. Men
Pictured in Soldiers Revcrl
Pause for a moment In the rush of
your day's, occupation, withdraw your
mind from the world of grim reality
and indulge In a little harmless dream
of what may possibly be your recol
lections In years to come While this
may be a vision it Is up to the indi
vidual to make his dreams come true.
At the outbreak of the world's war
in 1914 you were a Junior in a high
school In western Nebraska. You
watched the progress of the war with
intense Interest, but not tecmose you
felt that It concerned you at all. The
fact that most of the large nations of
Europe were in the great conflict was
no cause for alarm. You felt perfect
ly secure, sheltered under the folds of
the Stars and Stripes. At borne, times
were uneventful and prosperous. The
struggle "over there" was a passive
incHtnt to all Americans. No one was
aware that a free, peace-loving people

cf that stupendous contest.

But no one could predict the inten
tions of the German war-lords, crazed
with the Idea of world domination.
With unusual tact and skill, nation
after nation were drawn into the war.
rstprnational relations were severed
dally, countless atrocities committed
by the Huns Inflamed the hatred, and
siirred the patriotism of all democrat
ic people. Finally the Interests of
our count ry were at stake. Treaties
were disrespected. American 15vs oad
property were being destroyed. Every
thing possible was done, every precau
tion was taken to preserve peace, but
Jt finally became obvious that neu
trality couid co longer be maintained.
It w-as clearly evident that war was
secretly wafced on us from the start,
and that our rights and liberties were
at hazard as much as those of the peo
ple or r-ign and France. And
with an urrent. impratire oeresMty.
war was declared. The call for voiua
