Buys Out War
Stamp Supply
If war stamp sales were boom
ing last Thursday, they were
really roaring yesterday. Biggest
single sale of the day was made
to Sigma Alpha Iota, honorary
musical sorority, which purchased
$15 of war stamps as part of their
national dues. This sale wiped
out all stamp supplies in every
booth and the Student Union grill

Pub Board
Man Chosen,
Not Elected!
Will it never end?
Every time the student council
sticks its foot into something it
gets a headache, at least so far
as the fall election is concerned.
First it was Nebraska Sweet
heart. Then it was senior class
president. Now it's the pub board
election which won't be. Accord
ing to the publication board con
stitution the senior class presi
dent appoints students to fill any
vacancies on the board, but the
Council, not knowing this, had an
nounced that the election of a
member to take Bob Shoemaker's
place would take place Nov. 10
along with the election of class
presidents.
Anyway this issue is cleared up
completely. Bill McBride, chair
man of the Student Council elec
tions committee, announced yes
terday that he had received a let
ter from pub board Chairman
Harold Hamil informing him of
the constitution's ruling.
Just the same, there will be an
election maybe.

'John Jones' Reigns
At Palladian Banquet
The peVson of "John Jones," mythical Pal
ladian character who typifies the Pal spirit,
will reign over the 71st annual Founders' Day
Banquet tomorrow night as the Palladian Lit
erary Society celebrates its many years on the
campus the oldest student organization at Ne
braska. Both alumni and active chapters sponsor
the dinner, and alumni Judge K. B. Perry will
preside at the program planned according to
Palladian traditions and customs. Highlight
of the event is a debate, recalling the early
days when Palladian was strictly a literary
and oratorical society. Affirming the ques
tion, "Resolved, that the Palladian by-laws
should be abolished," will be alumni members
T. V. A. Williamson and Mrs. K. K. Brackett
and denying it will be students Janet Hutchin
son and Charles Coale.
Discuss 'Laws.'
Mrs. John T). Sigler will speak on "In
laws" and David Marvin will discuss "Out-

laws." Decision of the judges will be an
nouueed following the musical part of the pro
gram in which Betty Toothaker will present a
piano solo and Mary Helen Alexis and Mary;
Mc Derm and will sing a duet.
As has been customary for over half a cen
tury, the program will close when everyone
joins in singing llie tradition Palladian songs,
ending with "Palladian Sweetheart."
Ralph Marlette President.
President of the active chapter for the pres
ent term is Ralph Marlette. Lela Lyne is iu
charge of the program.
Organized entirely for intellectual pursuits
three years after the University of Nebraska
was founded, the Palladian actives have now
for many years placed as much emphasis on
the social side of the society as on the literary
ideals. The group is restricted to unaffiliated
students who are asked to join only on a vote,
of the whole chapter. Membership is kept at
approximately DO students each year.

UN Memorial
BY GEORGE ABBOTT.
With congress presumably
holding off important "rider"
legislation on the youth draft
until after election and the
election now history Joe Col
lege is asking himself, "What
comes now?"
And well might that question
be nsked. Opinion on Nebras
ka's campus yesterday, as it
will be tomorrow and for many
days to come, indicated that
all concerned believe that when
a lowered draft limit starts
other youths into service, col
lege cannot go on "as usual."
Currently, at least three al
ternatives are in sight: Either
the present system will con
tinue with the selective service
under the recent passage weed
ing out students; or through a
mass enlistment program, men
students will be graduated as
specialists; or the army will
put men into army uniforms,
pay them arm wages, and gi?e
them army training, all in
school.
The American council of ed
ucation which includes private
ly endowed colleges in its ranks
has flatly urged a wide exten
sion of the Enlisted Reserve.
This reserve would put stu
dents in college on a basis of
military need for their training
as officers and specialists.
General plans at present call
for scholastic and personal re
quirements to show the degree
to which students are poten
tial material for vital military
positions, and demanding a
minimum of basic class work,
with their further education
to be determined by military
need and aptitudes.
In the fall of 1918, all physi
cally able college men were
hurried into olive ' drab wool
and improvised barracks of the
Student Army Training Corps,
with men on this campus utiliz
ing what is now Sosh for bar
racks. While the SATC was
considered pretty much of a
failure, the importance of the
roles college-trained men could
play in the winning of the war
has become even more intensi
fied this war, in the eyes of
both military and college offi
cials. Brig. Gen. C. R. Huebner, direc
tor of training; for the Service of
Supply, in a recent .'etter to Dr.
A. C. Willard of Illinois univer
sity, wrote that "there has been no
change in the opinion that the
army needs men with the essential
training given by colleges and uni
versities." "The war department," General
Huebner continued, "is compiling
data concerning the number of
college trained men needed by the
army, the training required, and
similar questions. A program of
education based upon this factual
data will be set up for conference
with representatives of educational
institutions."
With an accelerated program al
ready in effect here, and more and
