Ruth Hutton, '19, Editor of the
1918-19 Book Announces
Publication Plans
preparation of This Year's Book
Delayed by Serious
Interruptions
After a period of continued interrup
tions and Berious delay the publica
tion of the student directories at last
seems a certainty. A committee from
the Y. W. C. A. has been appointed to"
take charge of the annual publication
for this year and actual work has now
begun. Ruth Hutton, 19, has been
appointed editor-ln-chler and she will
be assisted by asspciate editors. Helen
Doty. '19. and Marv Waters. '20. Al
though the preparation of material for
the book presents greater difficulties
than in former years the editorial staff
plans to have the directories ready for
distribution within three weeks.
Work Presents Difficulties
The problem of tabulating the long
list of students names Is unusually
perplexing this year because of the
unsettled condition of affairs at the
university and the change brought
about by the establishment of the S.
A. T. C. unit here. The decision to
publish the directory was reached only
a few days ago. The appointment of
a permanent staff at the first of the
year was delayed with the result that
students have missed that popular lit
tle volumejwtaich ordinarily makes it
appearance early in October. The
present staff have now completed their
plans and will put the book on sale in
the shortest possible time.
The price of the book will probably
be higher than usual this year, al
though the management has made no
definite announcement to this effect.
Bids, for the publication have not yet
been received. .
Address Books on Campus
In order to obtain the correct ad
dresses of all students, address books
will be placed ,about the campus in
a few days. These will be found at
the library, armory, and the chemistry

S. A. T. C. HEN VOTE
ON DISBANDING UNIT

War
Department Gives
Choice of Time to Be
Discharged
Men
S. A. T. C. men last evening were
faced with two serious questions upon
which their future status for the re
mainder of the year will largely de
pend. These two questions which they
had to answer on a signed ballot fol
low: 1. Do you prefer to be discharged
from the S. A. T. C. at the end of the
present term or at the end of the pres-
l ent school year?
2. If you are discharged at the end
of the present quarter, would you re
main in school the rest of the year?
The university authorities in co-operation
with the military department
are issuing these questions in an effort
to obtain the will of the men. They
will then transmit the will of the ma
jority as the vote of this unit. The
var department Is expected to act
upon the matter at once.
It seems to be the popular opinion
of most of the men who have private
means enough to support themselves
in school that they could do their
school work more effectively if they
were not living in the barracks.
Disbanding Not to Effect Drill
It is probable that the war depan
TTftst desires to keep the men in
school but also would like to do away
with any unnecessary expenses Bnct
the armistice has been declared.
If the S. A. T. C. should be disband
ed at the end of the present quarter,
which would be January 4, the men
would still be required to drill nine
hours a week, which is the amount of
drill called for under the new sched
ule to be put into effect soon.
Extracts from a letter received by
Acting Chancellor Hastings from the
war department, follow:
"Assuming an equitable financial ar
rangement in case your contract is
discontinued at the end of the first
quarter, and assuming that if contin
ued, regulation of academic work by
the war department will be abandon
ed and military work reduced to nine
hours weekly, do you wish to have
your collegiate unit, exclusive of mod
ical students
1919?"
continue to June 30,
FORMER EDITOR WITH
NEW ORLEANS PAPER
Leonard W. Kline, ex-'18, writes to
friends in The Daily Nebraskan office
that he is very busy once more 'mid
the smell of printer's ink and the click
of typewriters. Kline was editor-in-shief
of The Daily Nebraskan during
the first part of the semester, but was
forced to give up his position when he
was called away from school in Octo
ber. He went to an officers training
camp at Camp MacArthur, Texas,
which was discontinued after the
armistice was signed. Kline went to
New Orleans, where he is located at
present. He is working on the New
Orleans Item and writes that he is so
well satisfied with both the work and
the environment that he has decided
not to return to the cold north until
second semester.

E2)ArJi STUDENT RESERVATIONS AT
G A E GALLED AT 2:30
Cornhusker chances against the mighty Notre
Dame warriors on Turkey day have been soaring way
up in the upper atmosphere since the announcement
yesterday afternoon that Paul Dobson. last year's
prenomenal halfback and member of the first All-Valley
eleven had pulled into town and was ready to take
up hU studies and don his football togs in time to help
pluck the plums on Thanksgiving.
Just-as the gloom clouds were settling dowji over
the Husker camp and chances for victory next Thurs
day seemed as far out of sight as the price of butter
and theater tickets, here came a brilliant arc light and
banished the fog from the premises. Other rays of
hope were exposed in the arrival of "Zip" Cypreanson
rroin Camp McArthur and the probability that Half
back McMahon, who has been on the injured list for
the past month, and Jobes, who had his knee wrenched
last week, will be "in shape to take their positions in
the lineup.
Dobson was given an honorable discharge last week
and returned yesterday morning from the Massachu
setts institute of technology at Cambridge, where he
has been in the chief quartermaster's school. He en-
' : listed in tne navy eany lasi summer ana was nrst sia
'Sr ,ionea at tne Great Lakes camp. When the football
season rolled around Dooson wasa
the job and broke into the Jackles'
lineup in the opening game of the sea
against the Iowa Hawkeyes. The 7 to
0 victory' of the Blue Jackets was due
largely to the former Cornhusker's
long punts and great defensive work.
Before he was transferred to the
eastern school, Dobson participated in
the Great Lages-lllinois battle and the
only touchdown of the game was cred
ited to the Nebraska boy, who crossed
the opponents' goal line after a twenty-five
yard run and then kicked goal.
To Bolster the Back Field
With the prodigal sons in the lineup
yesterday, prospects took on a more
encourag'ng aspect and the back fields
which has been doing ao-nobly'wTthout
the assistance of veteran , material, .
will become one of the bulwarks of the
Huske. attack. Dobson proved him
self an an-rouna Trr-Hrm-- in t-
plays against the varsity last night in
preparation for the fray next Thurs
day. MEN NOT TO BE
DISCHARGED NOW
Lieutenant F. J. O'Neil, adjutant,
announced yesterday that a telegram
had been received from Washington
with reference to discharges from the
S. A. T. C. According to the official
announcement no individual requests
would be accepted for resignation
from the students' army training corps
at this time.
A special request that no person
send in his resignation has been made
by the adjutant-general of the army, as
such requests merely crowd the mails.
Announcement will be made through
official channels should there be any
change in the ruling.
