Students have been solicited for funds
many times this year. Individuals and groups
have contributed generously. Tomorrow an
ther drive eloses the World Student Service
Fend. Last year the goal on this campus M-as
easily reached. This year we are a nation at
war and the funds contributed to the WSSF
have a much deeper significance than ever
before.
Previous to this year monies contributed
went to help Chinese and many other young
people throughout the world who were either
in concentration camps or were unable to con
tinue their education for lack of funds and
facilities. An all-relief organization, the WSSF
went into the concentration camps, into the
pitiful schools of China, into the occupied coun
tries of Europe with books, magazines, news
papers in an attempt to alleviate the craving
of the unfortunate youths for opportunities to
continue their education.
THIS YEAR THE WSSF HAS ADDED
ANOTHER PROJECT TO ITS RELIEF PRO
GUAM. WITH THE UNITED STATES' EN
TRANCE INTO THE WAR, IT GOES INTO
THE CAMPS WHERE AMERICANS ARE
BEING HEM) PRISONERS. THE WSSF IS
THE ONLY ORGANIZATION WHICH CAN
GO INTO PRISON CAMPS WITH HOOKS
AND SEND REPRESENTATIVES THERE.
All oth r drives on the campus have been
for men in the forces here in this country, or
for casualties of war. This is the only drive
for men who have had to leave the United
States, and who after being taken prisoners
are taken care of in so far as providing read
ing materials for them while in the custody of
our enemies.
We have all read of the suffering and mo
notony of living in the prison and concentra
tion camps. Many of these stories are highly
colored for effect and many are not. Hut it
remains true that being herded within the con-

A new addition to the curriculum of Ne
braska's telegraphic school was the class in
Morse telegraphy for women. At this time
there was a severe shortage of telegraph oper
ators in commercial lines since a great demand
was evidenced for these artisans in any line
of the service.
Twenty girls enrolled in this class were
qualified upon completing the course to enter
commercial work.
The university library had undergone an
encounter with the war as four members Of
the staff left for service thus producing a
shortage of labor and a necessity for closeing
the library at six o'clock every Friday and
Saturday instead of the usual ten o'clock.
A new feature in the 1918 Daily was the
column "Do You Know?" Unusual and inter
esting facts about the war were noted. Typical
of items stated were the following: "Do you
know that seven mills work on clothes for
army men, that 20.000,000 pairs of shoes are
ordered for the army. Loans made to co-belligerents
at the end of 1917 total $3,882,900,000.
Total deaths in the army from March 14 to
May 6, 1917 reported to be 1,191. Only 132
were killed in action.
Professor L. W. Chase, head of the agri
cultural engineering department was commis
sion a major in the Ordnance department of
the army and was assigned to the motor sec
tion as a tractor expert.

By Alan Jacobs
fines of a barbed wire fence with absolutely
no contact with the outside world would be
almost unendurable to peoples who, heretofore,
had led a free life. Their existence for the
duration can be brightened very much by the
opportunity to read about what is going on.
Whatever spark of hope remains for eventual
freedom will be fanned by being able to retain
some contact with the peoples at home.
Half of the funds contributed from all of
the forty-eight states will be turned over to
help Ch inese students continue their educa
tion. The Chinese government is so fully aware
of the necessity of well educated men and
women that it will not permit students to join
the armies of our warbitten ally.
BY CONTRIBUTING TO THE WSSF,
YOU AND YOU ARE HELPING TRAIN
THE LEADERS OF THE CHINA TO HE.
BY GIVING A DIME, A DOLLAR. YOU
AND YOU ARE TAKING OUT SOME OF
THE DULL SPOTS IN THE LIVES OF
AMERICAN SOLDIERS WHO ARE NOW
PRISONERS OF WAR. BY PLEDGING ALL
YOU CAN, YOU AND YOU ARE ALLEVI
ATING IN SOME MEASURE THE MENTAL
SUFFERINGS OF THOUSANDS AND THOU
SANDS OF YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG
WOMEN IN THE C O N C E X T R A T I O X
CAMPS OF GERMANY AND OCCUPIED
EUROPE.
The drive ends tomorrow. The goal of $750
for this campus which was set before we en
tered the war should be reached and even
doubled. THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
WSSF CAN DO NO MORE THAN YOU
GIVE. So contribute what you can to "an
organization which is dedicated to help young
people like yourselves.

resistance has weakened, and the Japs are now
in control of Bataan and its foxholes.
. Reports from Africa indicate that Field Marshall Erwin
Rommel's axis armies have started a new offensive, breaking
the week-old stale-mate on the Libyan desert front. The nazis,
London spokesmen say, are on the move in what may be the
opening of a spring drive to conquer Egypt aud smash thru

Studying vigorously the problem of limiting war profits,
congress has all but passed a $19,212,773,260 war appropriation
bill. Busy now are congresmen devising riders to attach to the
all-important measure.
From Russia comes news of a heavy attack launched by
the Germans against Russian positions m. ine Crimea, ine
Nazis struck with 100 tanks in what Russians believe is but
preparation for the spring campaign for the Caucaus's oil after
the spring thaws.
Massed German bombers gave the British island stronghold
its worst attack of the war and touched off the two-thousandth
alarm at the bomb-scarred Mediterranean base since Jun, 1940.
Meanwhile, axis planes were again pounding Britain's great
naval base at Alexandria, following up a recent attack in which
52 persons were reported killed and 80 wounded in the heaviest
raid of the year.
Every day, more young American men are being inducted
into the army and by next month the induction rate will be
doubled. Every day, regular train schedules are being disrupted
as special trains speed troops to coastal ports. Every day,
American are fighting and killing and dying on foreign soil.
