The reports which are required this wek will show the standing of the students to date. The work which has been done so far, although in many . cases it has been very ele mentary, will show whether or not the student has been applying him self to the best of his ability. The reports will call for some action and this is to enable the student to cor rect any faults with his work or his method of study which are evidenced by the work he has done during the first month of the school term. Many students who have just entered col lege are face to face with a new proposition in the way of study. Formerly he has been used to super vised study and now that the new liberty of taking his time to it and arranging his hours to best suit him self is given him the student is given over to more or less procrastination and the result is often fatal. The student will have an opportunity, after finding out what is wrong with his work, to get into the spirit of studying at college and will thus enable himself to be prepared for the mid-semester examinations at the end of the first nine weeks of school. VANDALISM. The popular adage concerning the blindness of love is having a monstrous difficulty in sustaining its reputation at Nebraska. Damaging 1 .1 Imnaonhlnir tVlil trill Vl fl fl H TG- liability of the ancient proverb is being revealed at several points on th ramnus to the most casual ob- ,,. won n th vexation of the local janitors and the superin- tendent of grounds and buildings. Particularly Is the antithesis of failing eyesight on the part of cupid observable in the vicinity of the famous rendezvous of amorous, or amorously ailing couplets of youths and maidens the blessed old Library steps. On the window pane that ad mits light to the first landing in Library Hall are noticeable myriads of unintelligible heiroglyphics and de signs. These have, at some time or other, been Inscribed on the glass by idlers about this old trysting place, busily engaged in putting in their time to the least possible advantage. Any uniformity of design is entirely lacking else inscriptions might be looked upon as a work of art, in that it would be a design incompiehensible by other than the highly cultured. In fact the only intelligible quantity in the whole effect are the initials or those who desired in the manner to announce in a permanent form that the little god of passion had labeled them with his own tag the wedding ring. For a diamond, it is well known. Is the usual means of glass cutting and its propensities in that direction have been taken a ample advantage of in making the window pane a bulletin board for the names of the recent possessors of the valu able stone. Apropos of the discovery of the catch all for the ravings of artistic ally Inclines lovers, a proposal might not be out of order that the future individual or class memorials be in the form of huge plate glass con veniently arranged whereon cupid's pupils might make the use of the significant diamond by inscribing their names or initials in a manner that would be more appreciable to the student wayfarer, than on the windows of the Library. DIVIDED RESPONSIBILITY. One reason why University events go so far behind financially in some endeavors is ' because the responsi bility for their management is divided among too many. Dance committees of six members one of whom works, should be a mitigating circumstance when a chairman is being assailed for Inefficiency.

The machinery through which a collection of Uni versity activities are expected to! make progress is far too bunglesome and unwieldy. We must throw off the ballast. Change in sentiment as to the pur pose of our activities must precede any reform in the interest of effi ciency. We must cease to regard our efforts as honors merely. They 'are In fact opportunities for those who want to work and can. And before wo can strip our over-burdened ma chinery of its dignified and orna mental trash we must create in our selves a sentiment that in college as in actual life efficiency will be our motto. ASSISTANT EDITORS APPOINTED. It has been the custom and rule of the Publication Board in the past to appoint a faculty adviser for the Daily Nebraskan. The faculty adviser never actually censored the paper, nor would he be held responsible for nil stories, since the material for the Nebraskan came to the publishers all the way from five to twelve o'clock at night. And so this year the board has done away with the superfluous faculty adviser and made the editor responsible, for every issue of the p iper. In eider to cope with this situation, the editor has appointed two assist ant editors, Leonard Cowley and Jessie Watson, whose duties it will be to censor the Daily and assist in the rewriting of stories not up to standard.

Wash Each fall as regularly as the apearance of football, Winchesters, rnd umbrellas, the stu dent body reverts to a diet of meat and potatoes. The Commons have long sought a reason for this phenom enon, but in vain. Later this year, perhaps even by tho end of the quarter, vegetables and salads will appear with increasing fre quency. And meals will also cost less, for, though containing an equal unmber of calories, vegetables are cheaper than meat. Breakfast is served to about 250 each day at an average cost of about 21 cents per person, 900 receive lunch for about 35 cents and eeach evening 400 dine at approximately 40 cents Pie and canteloupes are at present the most popular desserts. Milk is literally being drunk by the gallon, 650 half pints being consumed daily, while there is but small demand for coffee or chocolate University of Washington Daily. Girls' Swimming Classes.

Note: This Is the third of a series of articles on the K. O. T. C. which is written with the view of explaining the meaning and 'aim of the organization, especially referring to the work as it affects the University of Nebraska. The main descrip tion of the Reserve Corps and the Reserve Officers' Training Corps is taken from the Bpeech of Newton D. Baker, secretary of war, which was delivered in September at Pennsylvania State College. Tlie fixing of the status of the He serve Corps officers caused a greater number of R. O. T. C. applications this year than last. Last year the undecided stand of congress on rating of reserve officers was an element against many men applying but the solid basis upon which the reserve is now placed will be for the better ment of the R. O. T. C. as well as the corps. Of this Mr. B...ver says: "The It. O. T. C. project has met with pro nounced success during the past year, and has increased in favor with both the students and educational authori ties. A high standard of student spirit and morale has developed in many institutions and constant efforts are made to support and increase this spirit wherever the units are in opera tion. Most of the colleges and schools have been very liberal in the allot ment of academic credits toward Ciaduation for R. O. T. C. courses. At one university it has even been proposed to grant a special degree in the subject of military art. Another institution has placed the military courses upon an equivalent basis with such subjects as civil and mechanical engineering. The war department has received inquiries from various in stitutions as to whether a course or study and list of subjects might not be indicated upon which a student could elect a 'major' in military art." This great growth of the enthusi asm for the R. O. T. C. over the country is significant of the interest that is being taken by educated peo ple in regard to preparation for leadership of our armies in case of another emergency. It is necessary that the army have men of education in the Reserve Corps and the college men who are able to make the Re serve have a start In the army with a commission and this enables them to be promoted more rapidly than the usual method of training camps which fits men for the lower commissions and for temporary service. The remarkable work done by men of college caliber in the late war has been of material import in raising the numbers of applicants for Reserve commissions since the war. This shows that the college men are taking advantage of every opportunity which is put before them and the man who is able to graduate from the Univer sity or college where he is a member of the student body, with not only a degree but a commission in the Re serve, is to be given credit not only as a student but as a keen sighted man and one who will make his mark in the world. He has grasped his opportunities. The firm hold the R. O. T. C. has on the men who have taken up this work is characterized in the following paragraph from Mr. Baker's address: "During the past year there were at a maximum" 4.568 students in the advanced course, which comprised about 8 per cent of the total number in the senior division. "With the exception of 1916-17, the year it was initiated, the past school year has been the first that the R. O. T. C. has been afforded an opportunity of operation under favorable circum stances and in time of peace. "The results attained have given ai'iple reason for the belief that the system is fundamentally sound as a peace time measure for the training and procurement of prospective per sonnel for the Officers Reserve Corps. The character of the training and in struction given, the recognition ac corded the military departments by the Institutional authorities in the allotment of time, academic credit toward graduation, and the greater interest and adherence manifested by the students, Justifies the general conclusion that the degree of im provement which may be expected of the R. O. T. C. in the future will be dependent upon the support given it by the government" The fact that the R. O. T. C. is yet in its infancy yet has made such rapid progress with such splendid re sults by no means exhausts its pos sibilities. The government, during the past four or five years, has had lta handa full with tho tralnlne ttf ILA ilWJiUa U " . - " . . ,-, soldiers, theNmanufacture 6"f equip ment and muftitions, the training of officers and other war work and has been too busy to work on the R. O T. C. which is, by virtue of its em bodiment In college work, a peace time measure with a war time end, that is to say a preparedness that is also a part of an education. The University of Nebraska has felt the same influences on its R. U T C. section that have been felt in all other schools where the Corps is located. During the war th student body at Nebraska was mobilized for war purposes almost to a man. The cadet corps was obliterated. The war time measures necessitated that men with the fundamental training in leadership of men take up work in fhe officers training camps and this the Nebraska boys did. The R. O. T. C. was again started during the past year but thQ.readJustment which was necessary following the war made it more or less of a temporary arrangement and the present year finds it on Its feet again with a fresh start and proper equipment' as to issues, facilities and instruction. The Nebraska Corps is one of the largest in the country and has already pre pared men for commissions in the Reserve. The government action which tem porarily placed the R. 0. T. O. on its feet is by no means the end of the support which it will receive . Con gress is still congested with war time work which it is necessary to elimi nate as quickly as possible and the R. O. T. C. will get its dues in the next few years. (To be Concluded.) Bubbles By Ima Cuckoo. How many days' has November? It must have more than fifty-four be cause according to a schedule appear ing in Wednesday's Nebraskan the members of Kappa Kappa Gamma will give a party November 54! Somebody asked an R. O. T. C. rookie yesterday why they gave them shields. The rookie said he didn't know and became real "fussed." "I don't know what they are for," said the rookie. "Well," I said "stand up for them anyway. Defend yourself." "With what?" asked the embryo soldier. "The shield, of course," chimed in an outsider. Then we both yelled: "Pipe down." Headline in Nebraskan said: "Baker Explains Purpose of Military Train ing." Now what does a baker know about military training? I was walking along the campus yesterday and somebody asked me it I had met Arthur. I replied that I did not think so- and asked who Arthur could be. "Why," the other answered, "Arthur Class we call him Art for short." Helen Hovland meets Dorothy Pierce in the Rag office. "I'm late for my appointment," said Helen. "I've been looking all lor you."

All students who have changed their addresses or who did not know addresses at time of registration should bring in their present address to the executive dean's office at once. University Rules Students Can Not Visit Fair Nellie SEATTLE. Wash. The - admirers of Nellie, the Egyptian sleeping beauty, are still pining beneath the balcony of her home, because of the "crool, crool verdict" of the Board of Regents. Nellie, the Sphinx-like mummy of the Washington State Museum is the most popular of tho season's belles, being the only one of her kind for miles. Many are the inquiries as to the state other health and beauty. "Can't she come down, just 'til it's fixed?" cry the disappointed visitors when tild that the "temporary" con demned balcony is th reason for the young vamps of th Nile who were following Cleos methods rather than Thedas. Consequently any little Jarr ing lessens the effectiveness of her man-preserved beauty. This climate too, is mighty damp for Egyptian ladles used to the sunny Nile, and the climate Is causing, (oh, unromantic truth!) Nellies complexion to peel in a most modern way. She waits above, along with the Alaskan collection, the Oriental ex hibits, the art exhibits and innumer able other beautiful things: waiting for a fairy prince In the guise - of Mark Antony, or a carpenter, or some other mighty man who can remove the present edict, and until then none can see Egyptian Nellie or Nellie's beautiful home.
