The men are marching again and most UN coeds agree that the only fault of conscription is that it creates a dating problem. Nearly all coeds interviewed, the seniors .particularly, agreed that the toll of conscription is very noticeable. One senior even at tributed the lack of school spirit to conscription. Said Elizabeth Cook, "The shock to both the cheering section and the football team is very notice able. Conscription has taken sev eral of our best players and if school spirit does not rise rapidly, we may not beat Minnesota." "Since I am a freshman I haven't noticed the difference yet," says Pat Beadle, "but .by the time I am a senior I suppose I'll be playing bridge too. I can't help but notice that more freshmen than seniors are dating this year." Move Army to Lincoln. Midge Beasley and Estella Len nermann both agree as to the way conscription troubles can be cleared up. The government should either stop drafting college men or move an army camp to Lincoln. With a camp in town, they say, no peons e e Altho the British War Relief society's benefit performance of "Yank in the RAF" will not be held until the week of Oct. 23, the Union-Daily Nebraskan defense Dean Makes Went Card Statement Student identification cards are absolutely non-transferable, Dean T. J. Thompson stated yesterday, "and heavy penalty will be im posed on those who do transfer these cards." It was necessary at the Kansas game Saturday, to take up athletic tickets of two students, which tick ets were being presented by others than their rightful owners. These students have lost the use of their tickets for the balance of the year. No student who does not have in his or her possession a proper identification card and photograph will be admitted to the football game next Satur day. You must secure your identification photograph at once. The office of the registrar in room B-7, is open from 8:15 until 5 o'clock daily. Call for your identification photo at once. If your photo is not avail abte, you will be given a signed statement in lieu thereof, which when presented at the gate will serve the purpose. G. W. Rosenlof. According to Dean Thompson the student identification card was designed in order that the univer sity and its agencies could offer students special privileges that are at their disposal. Point Board Rules Pratt Ineligible Randall Pratt, news editor on the Nebraskan, was declared in eligible for that position at a meeting of the men's activity point board last night. "We decided that Pratt was in eligible," said Walt Rundinn, sec retary of the board, "because he was carrying eight activity points and the limit for juniors is seven." Pratt's positions as student coun cil representative, Corn Cob, and news editor gave him two, three and three activity points respect ively for a total of eight activity points. The board also voted unani mously to give three points to the position of secretary of interfrat- termty affairs. one would ever nave to worry about dates for the weekend. One college junior who prefers to remain anonymous and who is very interested in a certain first lieutenant stationed at Fcrt Rob inson says that there are lots of men around the campus but the army has taken all the good ones. Hobart Dewey, freshman and one of two men students inter viewed agree. "Conscription has given us lesser lights a chance to shine. It has taken most of the older, smoother Greek gods out of circulation. I certainly cannot complain, for I'm going to take advantage of the situation." Blondes Wanted. The other boy interviewed was "Wild Bill" Leininger. When asked what he thought about con scription and dating, he replied, Student Council Meets Tonight Student council will meet at 5 p. m. in room 315 of the Union, according to "an announcement made by Burton Thiel, council president. ammpaDgmi . For Benefit Movie committee, which is sponsoring the campus ticket sales, opened its campaign this morning. Tickets are now available for 44 cents at the Union office, the Daily Nebraskan office and the national defense room. Sales will continue every day until the date of the show. Altho the picture will be shown at the Stuart theatre all week, the War Relief fund will benefit from only the advance sales. Tickets bought at the box office will not aid the society.

Tactful freshman Polly Petty prefers to remain out of hot water. Nebraska men," says she, "are fine in spite of the draft. I can't imagine how anyone could com plain about the lack of quantity or quality of men. There still are men to every woman student, and Nebraska men are the 'squarest' as far as I am concerned." Senior Barbara Cook believes tkat conscription should come either at the end of high school or of college. She cannot understand why any draft board would be so "mean" as to interfere with .a man's college career. "It is a great sacrifice to attend college and once a student has been drafted it is very hard for him to go back to college," she said. Margaret Stamosheck's novel idea is that there should be con scription for women too. Camps could be so situated that men and women conscriptees could havo exchange hour dances and dates every week. "Such a solution would do away with all dating problems and it would make the young women of America feel that they too are doing something, for national defense," she said.
