AUTHORITIES COMMEND CADET OFFICERS' WORK Military Department Expresses Thanks to Students Who Helped in Instruction. The Military Department wishes to commend the work of several Uni versity students who deserve recogni tion of their efforts to aid that de partment at a critical time. These men volunteered their serv ices at the first of this semester when the instructional staff was small in number. Captain Frankforter and Lieutenant Murphy desire to express their appreciation of the most excel lent work done by these students in assisting the reorganization of the R. O. T. C. at a time when affairs were in a rather complicated situation. With reserve commissions they could obtain neither University credit nor commutation for their services. Out of a high sense of loyalty to the gov ernment, to the University, and to the Department of Military Science and Tactics, these men offered their serv ices. The work of these men has been invaluable. Their work has shown that they are capable, energetic young officers and the University has every reason to be proud of them. These men were appointed as the field staff and line officers of the R. O. T. C. regiment, by Captain Frank forter when he was in charge of the Military Department awatiing the ar rival of the permanent commandant, Colonel Morrison. Colonel Morrison and his present staff of officers and non-commissioned officers also greatly appreciate the work of these students, particularly that of Cadet Colonel Long. The names of these men and their rank in the regiment are as follows: Cadet Colonel Long. Cadet Lieutenant-Colonel Judd. Cadet Major Junge. Cadet Major Jensen. Cadet Captain Harley. Cadet Captain Seidell. Cadet Captain Campbell. Cadet Captain Godwin. Cadet Captain Bushnell. Cadet Lieutenant Lyle.

C, the coming of peace and the begin ning of a reconstruction periodj it has seen, in the first semester, a school torn by the upheavals of war, and In the second, the return of the Uni versity to a normal basis; it has noted a successful athletic season, the de velopment of a winning track team participating in national meets, an In creased appropriation budget, the ac tion of the regents in favor or a new gymnasium and, for the first time In its history, the election of a student council at the University of Nebraska.

Husker Stock Goes Up With the Return of Ed Smith to the Track. The eighteen athletes composing the varsity squad are leaving this afternoon to do battle with the Minne sota Gophers at Minneapolis Satur day.

Varsity Letters Owing to the fact that the varsity track team will have participated in but two dual meets this season it is probable that the Athletic Board will make some concessions in the grant ing of letters. At the meeting next Monday the "N" Club will request that it be more lenient than usual. Under the present rules a total of eight points must be won in dual meets or one point in the Missouri Valley Conference meet to win a let ter. It has been suggested that this ruling be modified in the present con dition to make it possible to win a letter by winning one first or two. seconds in the two dual meets of the season.

(Continued on Pnite Two) Band Will Play Famous ''Carillon" To Words of Belgian Poet in Pageant The distinction of being the first band to give Elgar's musical setting "Carillon," to the Belgian poet's "Chantons, Beiges" belongs to the University band. This production will be one of the biggest and best fea tures of the pageant. This poem consecrated to Belgium is one of the great things that came out of the war. The spifit of the poem is rejoicing that although Bel gium Buffered mutiianon ana defeat at the arms of the Germans, her spirit remains unbroken. The first stanza contains an ex hortation to the Belgians to rejoice over their wounds, to, be proud of their defeat, which is the badge of their honor. This Is recited without music. Then comes a stirring chorus, a dance of triumph on the ru'ns of shell-torn cities, in celebration of the final triumph at Berlin.
