Assistant Bus Managers Betty Diion. Phil Kantor Circulation Manager Sidney SchwarU A Cornhusker Challenge This weekend the board of repents ap proved universal subscription to the Daily Ne braska. The action of the regents was more than mere sanction of a plan which had won student approval by a vote of 1,724 to 976; it was a step forward in the history of the uni versity. For next semester, thru the medium of the official student newspaper, every under graduate on the campus will receive the official announcements of the school, news of activi ties, and the full account of life on the campus. Universal subscription is an important in novation in the crisis which the university is now facing. Interest in student activities is no ticeably failing and loyalty toward Nebraska and the traditions for which it stands needs bolstering. The originators of the Student Foundation recognized this need, and arc mak ing definite attempts to further that sense of loyalty. But neither the Foundation nor any other "campus activity can be a success as a Cornhusker servant without an efficient method of contacting the student body. That method is Universal Subscription, and credit for its becoming a reality should be given where credit is due. The plan was sub mitted at last month's election, not as a polit ical issue, but because the editor of this paper believed it a proposal which, if accepted, would be of positive value to the university and its students. Those students recognized the signifi cance of the plan and gave it the green light m gnal. Next year, in a publication which will re flect student opinion as well as influence it, the Nebra.sk.m editor must encourage an ac tive interest in work for the betterment of the university. For next year, as we approach nearer the period of social change which is certain to come when the world Is again at peace, loyalty and sen ice to the university will be more important than ever before. For without the instillation of those two qualities in the rninds of students, the university will not be able to continue as the democratic in htitution which we have known it to be.

The flag represented the contribution of the rhetoric departments service to their country. Capt. Milo S. Buck, former rhetoric in structor was doing clerical work with Nebras ka's national guard unit at Camp Cody. Frof. S. Babbitt was also in i ranee. The status of the year's registration show ed a fall of :0 percent in the number ot men and 14 percent in the number ot women com pared to the total enrolment in l'J17. The nercent was uniform thruout the col leges with few exceptions. The school of com merce showed a enrolment decrease of 50 per cent in the number of men listed, but balanc ing the scales was the fact that 50 percent more women were enrolled in that college. A 5 percent increase was noted in Medical col lege due primarily to the war. There was a slight gain in the number of women enrolled in Teacher's college. Service Group Fingerprints UN Students To help further the war effort AlDha Phi Omega, service fra ternity of former boy scouts opened a student fingerprinting campaign in the Temple today. The campaign is being conducted in cooperation with the F. B. I. and is entirely voluntary.
