concerning the compulsory four

After hours of questioning bash

finds that the majority of women
were definitely in favor of the war

of the proposed plan.

Anyone leaving for farm work
must maintain his scholarship, that
is, make arangements for his pro
fessors to make-up all work missed.
Applicants for comhusking work
should have hart some experience
at this work, Epp said, in order
that it might be profitable for both
the employer and employees.
AH students desiring leaves for
such work should clear thru the
student employment office, Epp
declared, even if the applicants
plan to work for their parents. Ap

Students Will Be Warm This Winter
If Coal Supplies Remain Stationary
Students will keep warm in classrooms on
city campus first Mm est it il' incoming- coal
MjpplW'H remain at Ihe present Matus, accord
ing to L. F. Seaton, operating manager of the
university. Ag eampus htudents may be fairly
Mare of warm classrooms all winter, for tlie
present coal supplies in the ample ag eampus
Morale liins will be sufficient if Die room tem
peratures are maintained between 70 and 72
degrees.
It is becoming more and more difficult to
obtain additional coal supplies. Only one or
two carloads of fuel a week can be obtained in
fctead of the six carload which have been or
dered. The menace of the coal heating in the
Rtorage1ins has been almost negative tip to the
present time, but us more coal is added to the
bins, Ihe possibility of a major fire becomes
great.
In order to alleviate the coal shortage and
maintain present classroom temperatures Mr.
Seaton stated, "It is a matter of co-operation
of all faculty members and students to keep
windows of classrooms closed when the rooms
are not in use, and the otbaining of more fuel
supplies."
Seaton also stated, "If government regu
lations demand that temperatures be lowered
1o the proposed C5 degree temperature, the
university will comply."
The city campus heating system alno fur

was entirely unsolicited. The com
mittee, when it informed John
Douglass, chairman of the Founda
tion, said that the gesture was
extended to show gratitude for
the help of university students in
the Lincoln drive and to recognize
their complete co-operation with
the Lincoln effort.
Since the Foundation promotes
the university and thus provides
for leadership training it was
thought that this organization
would use the money as best it
could to co-operate with the war
effort and continue its work in
other worthy fields.
Members of the salvage com
mittee are Walter White, chair
man; John Agee, Nathan Gold,
R. E. Campbell, George Holmes
and T. B. Strain.

Library Files Microfilms
Of Foreign Newspapers
Films of newspapers of foreign
countries are now at the disposal
of students at the university li
brary. This is not known by very
many students and it is hoped by
library authorities that more stu
dents will take advantage of this
opportunity to read papers pub
lished in other countries.
Because the newspapers them
selves can't be obtained except at
excessive cost, a group of libra
ries from all parts of the United
States are co-operating in a move
ment whereby the newspapers are
sent direct to the Library of Harv
ard University. Here the Issues
for the past two or three months
are copied onto Microfilm, copies
of which are sent to the ether li
braries, one of which is the Library
of Nebraska.
The papers ordered by the Uni
versity of Nebraska Library are:
Le Temps from France, Journal de
Geneve from Switzerland, Carriere
delta Sera from Spain, and The
Daily Herald of London. Frank
furter Zeitung, a German newspa
per was also ordered but, due to
war conditions, no issues have
been received. The Tokyo Adver
tiser is also oil Lie list tmt no cop
ies have been received since April,
1940.
Students who wish to read the
films may obtain permission at the
desk in the Documents Reading
Room. Three reading machines
are available.
