Herald and Mil to us by some one la (raad Island who calls

"have any defense of student ue of ears."
College students arc still riding around
in ears. And plenty of them aren't old piles
of junk. There are still big ears on college
tarn puses in which students will still ride to
and from fraternity houses, go to out-of-town
dances, and drive home for week-ends.
What's the matter with that picture? Well,
just this: All over the country there are men
with families whose livelihood depends on their
bat ing an automobile with tires.
When Iheir cars and their tiros are gone
their means of earning a living will be gone,
too.
Cars are no luxury to them. So it must
make them wonder a little just what goes on
when they see a nice big ear piled full of
students who are riding around just for the
fun of it.
Wouldn't it be a good idea if college presi
dent would call Iheir students togclher and
ask them to start walking or riding bicycles,
and saving both automobiles arid tires fax some
purpose more important at least in war times
than having fun?
Of all Ihe groups in the country who could
get along without cars college students cer
tainly should lead the list. They're young and
plenty able to walk to and from classes. And
there is always enough going on in a college
town so lhat they don't have to leave it to
find amusement.
There ought to be enough patriotism
among students to make them look down their
noses at the student who is still driving a car,
when his own two legs could take him every
where he has to go.
Dear "Dad" We have none.

Students were allowed only one week va
cation instead of the usual two at Christmas,
according to an action of the university sen
ate in 1 fl 1 7. The question of a spring recess
was still in doubt but the general impression
was that it would at least be shortened.
Steps were taken to arrange dates so that
school could be dismissed early to let men get
back to the farms to help with the spring crop.
Professor M. M. Fogg of the department
of rhetoric had a war bulletin board to post
communications from the men in the service.
Seventeen hundred surgical dressings were
sent from the university Red Cross office to
Ked Cross headquarters from whence they will
be sent to France.
A bulletin from Chancellor Avery to faculty
and other employees follows:
"In accordance with the request of the fed
eral government through Dr. Garfield, fuel,
commissioner, efforts must be made to econo
mize as much as possible in the university.
"It is hoped professors will work as much
as possible outside of business and teaching
hours at home in order that coal for heating
purposes be saved'

"The Case of the Missing Orchid" is still being
enacted at the University of Ohio law school. Future
lawyers have turned detectives in an attempt to
solve the mystery of the missing orchid, the only
corsage at their annual formal dance.
In harmony with the university policy of cut
ting expenses for social events during the war, the
law students voted to deny themselves the privilege
of presenting their partners with corsages. How
ever, Uiey decided to have one orchid to be worn
by each lady for a period of ten minutes during the
dance.
The orchid was carefully preserved in an oblong
cellophane box. The transfer of flowers at the end
of scheduled intervals was made possible by the use
of hemp cord attached to a box and the placing of
the cord over the young lady's shoulders.
Said flower of beauty was to be awarded to the
winner of the "little Jug" contest at midnight but
at 11:40 said article promptly disappeared.

Over two hundred students have enrolled for
Red Cross first aid courses at the University of
Washington. Two credits are given all students
who take the course, and all who pass the final
examination are entitled to the standard Red Cross
first aid card.
Lectures, and demonstrations are given in the
types of bandaging, treatment for wounds and
burns, artificial respiration, fractures, poisons, un
consciousness and common emergencies.

something which should never be

then the presses wouldn't print it.

this is another case of "what's

Students Strike Demanding
Omaha U President Resign
Omaha university students have
called a strike demanding the
resignation of university presidtrt
Rowland Haynes. The strike is be

called three mass meetings Mon
day. A mimeographed manifesto
listed these grievances: 1. "He
has been consistently unfair In
his dealings with the faculty," 2.

Comstock read, "It is our belief
that if the legislature had in

Nebraska, its agencies and gov

purview of this, (the fair trade)
act, they would have co expressly
stated in the act,
"We find no place where the
state, its agencies or subdivisions
is expressly included in the act,
and further find no provision of

has tried to exert control over the
board of regents thru his partial
and unfair reports of the univer

Apparently the spark which set
off the active movement to ask
for his resignation was the univer
se's decision to discontinue

The manifesto was signed by
