For Peace
The year of the War and the
years since the War are prob
ably as eventful as any you will
ever see. In your student life
times you have been witnesses
of a world struggle unequaled
in purpose or intensity. You
have seen the Armistice, you
have lived through a panic, you
have witnessed the unexam
pled rise of a great prosperity,
and then another depression.
Many nations have fallen and
risen again. You have been
living in times that will be his
tory indeed.
The older among you will re
member vividly those closing
days of the war, those hours of
earnest scanning of the news
papers, the anxiety, the rumors,
and finally the Armistice and
victory, with its bonfires, its
whistles, and the relief In every
heart.
To many of you the years of
the war are remembered as only
a misty haze. But those with a
little more of life's experience
recall that they were years of
idealism of purpose and willing
ness of purpose and willingness
to sacrifice in order that justice
might encompass the earth. On
this Armistice Day, fourteen
years after the close of the war,
let us dedicate ourselves to the
same ideal.
Chancellor E. A. Burnett.

Sosh " Rally Ground Today, Once
Quartered 800 Troops in Training
How many of the collegians who
rally in front of "Sosh" today
know that the building before
which they're standing once fur
nished barracks for some of the
1,500 students who in the war days
of 1918 were members of the
S.A.T.C. (Student Army Train
ing Corps) and as such were pre
paring for active service overseas?
.Yet Social Sciences halL just
erected and still with the scaffold
ing about It, served that very pur
pose. Students will rally in the
building today, but the number, is
negligible when compared with
those who slept there in the fall of
1918, for there were over 800 quar
tered there.
Sleeping in Sosh or In the Arm
ory, which was also transformed
Into barracks, eating in a mess
hall in the Temple, and drilling on
the old athletic field, now the site
of the stadium) was the order of
the day for these student-soldiers.
Theoretically their time was to be
evenly divided between "education
si" and "military;' work. War aims
and tactics were allotted twenty
four hours each week, and an
equal number of hours were to be
spent on those academic, subjects
which the student elected from the
list designated as being specially
nertinent to wartimes.
At the entrance of the United
States into the war there was a
demand for college men for off!
rem a demand so ereat that it
appeared that colleges would soon
be depleted or men. war oniciais
and educators convening together
organized the S.A.T.C, advocat
ing the enlistment of the college
man and detailing him back to
college for training. George R.
Chatburn. professor of applied me
chanics, was Nebraska's represen
tative at tnis conierence, ana 10
him goes the credit for securing
and directing a unit of S.A.T.C.
at Nebraska.
When they came to school in the
fall of 1918, those students who
were eighteen years of aee or over
and who were physically fit for
military service were auowea to
enlist in S. AT. C. and thus be
bona fide soldiers. The 1,500
who volunteered were organized
into seven companies under tapu
E. J. Mclvor, commandant, Includ
ing a navy detachment known as
S. N.T.C. About 500 were quar
tered on the Ag college campus In
temporary wooden barracks, while
the rest were housed on the city
campus.

- Courtesy Journal botn physically
and mentally for Dr. John B.
Sutherland's undefeated outfit
from Pittsburgh. Bruce Kilbourne's
knee is still giving trouble, but the
injury is not so severe that it will
prevent him from getting into the
fray.
Altho pre-game forecast na
turally favors the Golden Pa
because of their great record this
season, tne (jornhuskers have gone
at their workouts this week with
such unusual vigor that it has
brought smiles of satisfaction to
Coach Bible and his aides. New
plays, pass defense and tackling
have come in for considerable em
phasis, and with Saner and Mathis
back in the lineup it should be a
much stronger Nebraska eleven.
Must Stop Pitt Stars.
Linemen have been studying the
play of the Panther forward wall
and also the deceptive running of
Heller and Sebastian, star Pitt
backs. Fast, alert play character
izes the Pittsburgh team which
has victories over Army. Notre
Dame and Pennsylvania this fall.
Game Captain Lawrence Ely will
lead the Huskers into the game
Saturday, in which Nebraska hopes
to reverse last year's 40 to 0 trim
ming at Pittsburgh. It was the.
worst defeat in Scarlet grid his
tory. Revised weight statistics show
that Coach Bible's team holds a
tlight advantage. The Cornhusker
line averages 185 pounds to 184
for Pitt, while the Nebraska back
field tips the scales at 181 to 179
for the Panthers.
Jack Miller, 177 pound ball lug
ger will start at right halfback
Saturday, Coach Bible indicated
yesterday. Bernie Maslerson, Chris
Mathis and George Sauer will
complete the backfield, with Tater
Fahrnbruch and Hub Boswell cer
tain to see plenty of action.
