Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second-class mall matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. For This Issue FORREST ESTES News Editor BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW If students do not wish to be held up by traffic congestion on their return home for the holidays, they should buy their tickets immediately, stating the day they expect to use the tickets. It is imepratlve that this be done in order that sufficient cars may be provided for travelers. In Illinois, with its 8,000 students, the situation was so serious that, beginning more than a week before the Christmas recess, each day a certain number of students was dismissed from classes with the understanding that they leave for home at once. Such action Is unnecessary at Nebraska, but it is important, under the present car shortage, that Nebraska students take steps to avoid serious congestion of train service by cooperating with the railroad companies in their effort to provide accomodations for all. A BLOW AT THE H. C. L. Students interested in efforts to strike a blow at the H. C. L. will doubtless take pleasure in co-operating with the women of Lin coln in the egg boycott now in effect. The ban was started last week and will continue until the price of eggs is reasonably reduced, according to members of the Woman's Club, who are sponsoring the movement. Lincoln people have been paying GO cents per dozen for cold storage eggs, the chairman of the committee making an Investi gation of food prices declared. It was also stated that hundreds of Lincoln families have no eggs, butter or milk on their tables. As an experiment with the law of supply and demand, not as a fight against the producer, was the action launched, committee mem bers stated. A prominent grocer told them, they say, that, if 1,000 people In the city would take concerted action in such a movement, they could do anything they wished. Other grocers named a lower figure. They are not antagonistic to the movement, for they realize that it is not aimed against them and that they will not suffer. Mer chants keep in stock only that for which there is a demand. It is then logical to assume that an article for which there is little de mand can not be continued in stock at a high price. If, by "refraining to eat eggs for a time, students may assist In reducing the price until it is within the reach of maay who are now compelled to do without this nourishing article of food, they will doubtless lend Ihelr hearty co-operation. HIGHER EDUCATION WORTH WHILE Doubt. as to the value of a college education and the efficiency of a college-trained man has frequently ben voiced by successful men. The .old conception of the college student as a callow, mandolin-playing youth with a penchant for daily colored hatbands has not been forgotten. Even college alumni having become engrossed in business, are sometimes Inclined to think their younger brothers in college too soft to figure effectively In anything outside of school affairs. But the record made by college men in the recent war has conclusively disproved accusations made against them. Recognition of the splendid role they played In war paved the way for further commendation because of the spirit cf service dis played by college men in the country's fuel crisis. In a recent edi torial The Boston Post offers this: "An Interesting incident of the trouble in the bitumlnlus coal region of the West is the eagerness with which students in the state universities and technical schools have come forward to offer their services in place of the recalcitrant miners. In Kansas, as has been noted, the response to the call for volunteers was prompt, and their efficiency in this new line of work Is attested by the Governor, who credits them with bringing In an appreciable amount of fuel already. "In Nebraska, the number of State University students enrolled is placed at 600, and the registering still proceeds to meet the call from Missouri, Iowa and other states where surface mining is the chief source of prod uc Ion. In this way, this experience may as truly be regarded a higher education as that in which these young men have been engaged at the universities. And it Is well worth whole," December 19 Freshman Law Hop, Lincoln Hotel. Alpha Tau Omega, house party. December 20 Phi Delta Theta house party. Eliza Gamble, '19, visited the cam pus Tuesday. After the holidays Miss Gamble will become general secretary or Uie Folk couuty, Iowa, Y. W. C A., with her headquarters at Des Moines Victoria Palm Rooms. Cabaret hours 8 to 12 p. m. Victoria Hotel. PRE-MEDIC HOP WILL BE FHIDAY EVENING The Pre-Medic Hop to be hold Fri day night at the Kosewilde, will be the first university party to be held alter the lifting of the ban due to coal shortage. The hop Is an annual affair given by the Pre-Medic college and has always been well worth attending. The party has been booked for some time and extensive preparations have been made. Music will be furnished for the affair by the Southern Ragg-a-Jazz band which Is composed entirely ot university students. Programs and refreshments are distinguishing fea tures of the party. Dr. and Mrs. Barker, Dr. and Mrs. Hlchkman and Dr. and Mrs. Latimer will chaperone. Tickets may be secured from the com mittee or at the door. TEACHERS' COLLEGE WILL PREPARE NORMAL TRAINING INSTRUCTORS The faculty of the Teachers Col lege has formulated a course foj the training of candidates to teach in normal training high schools. It is a four year course and will prepare the student for all phases of normal train ing work In the high schools. This course will be offered the second se mester of the scolastic year. BUBBLES Students from South Omaha say that Just because Cudahy has a pack ing plant there, is no sign that it is the only one. They know thera Ar mour. Although th y "will "beef" about It, we accuse them of Hvine in a Swift age. Evidently we have a foreign ele ment in our school. Campus bolshe vism is scattered by poles. The co-eds of Nebraska have taken a radical departure from the usual method of rooting at the basketball games. From now on, they will im plore the players to shoot baskets by the jelling of that wellknown slang phrase, "Hoops, my dear." The Eighth National convention of the Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Asso ciation to be held at Des Moines shortly, will undoubtedly bring forth much dry humor. The papers say that the fuel com mittee is slowly releasing the brakes on the coal restrictions. As an engi neering student might say "They are applying the brake test." The rnan who wrote the poem, "Woodman, spare that tree" probably never experienced a fuel shortage. During t tie recent fuel shortage, the common people spent much of their time singing to the miners. The pong that they were singing most of the time was "Keep the Home Fires Burn ing."
