Calling Mr. X . . .
Student interest in general campus prob
lems has been adequately shown in numerous
"Letters to the Editor" in the past few weeks.
The editor appreciates these letters and will
print all that are sent in as soon as possible.
These letters serve as a barometer of student
pinion and are valuable both to the student
body and the administration as well as the
Daily Nebraskan.
Several letters have been written to the
editor which have been unsigned. It is impos
sible to print these letters since at the outset
of publication this fall, it was announced that
all letters must be signed. Printing an un
signed letter is comparable to printing rumors
as tho they were facts with no basis for the
facts and no authority to back them up.
If a student has sent in a letter and did
not sign it but wishes it to be printed, the
editor will talk the matter over with him and
reach a decision upon his letter. Several let
ters of this type worth printing have been re
ceived but will not be printed unless claimed.
Stick Around. . .
Many students are in a quandry over
transportation difficulties during Thanksgiv
ing and Christmas vacations and have been un
able to make definite plans. Many will un
doubtedly have to change their plans to the
: : Wfc fail to see the wisdom of extending
Christmas vacation. We do not see how this
measure will alleviate the transportation diffi
culties for which purpose it was supposedly de
signed. In our opinion transportation facilities will
be more clogged immediately preceding Christ
mas vacation (at which time the students will
be traveling under the proposed plan) than
they will be ten days or two weeks following
Christmas.
This fact becomes obvious when we realize
that everyone using the transportation facili
ties will not be students, and while all will be
going home at the same time, the return trips
will be staggered at various intervals.
Therefore, since the problem is twofold:
(1) to alleviate the congestion of transporta
tion facilities and (2) to make sure the stu
dents get home for Christmas, it seems obvious
that it would be much wiser to begin vaca
tion a few days earlier rather than to extend
it a few days Inter thus clearing the student
traffic from the transportation arteries before
others begin to use them.
Sincerely yours,

(Editor's note: I am sure the committee
considering the change will take every factor
available into consideration before they make
the change. It seems to me, however, that in
order to insure students of being home for
Christmas that the vacation should begin be
fore Dec. 23 as it is now scheduled. The
change which is being considered will extend
the vacation to the middle of the week so that
students will not be riding trains during a
weekend when travel seems to be heaviest.
last minute to conform with the plans of men
in the armed forces who will want to travel at
this time too.
Since these vacations are less than one
month apart, many students should make plans
to go home for only one of them. Most of us
can spend our time profitably catching up on
school work and finding other things to occupy
our time. Nebraska plays a football game dur
ing the Thanksgiving vacation which is an
added incentive for postponing vacation plans
until Christmas.
Thanksgiving and Christmas may be the
only time many men in the armed forces pet
home for many months and it seems not only
the patriotic but also the logical plan, to stay
on the campus during one of these vacations.

At Blair Meeting ...
University Regis.trars Hear
College War Aims Outlined
Altho G. VV. Rosenlof failed to
speak due to illness, an address
prepared by the UN registrar con
taining the aims of colleges and
universities during this war was
read last week at the Blair, Neb,
meeting of the Nebraska branch
of the American Association of
Collegiate Registrars.
Miss Mary Zimmer, statistician
in the registrar office, read the
speech at the meeting. In the
speech Mr. Rosenlof outlined ten
main objectives and results that
are likely to happen to American
colleges and universities during
the war.
Enrollment to Fall.
Enrollment in U. S. colleges will
toboggan, falling off considerably
as the war goes on. The registrar
pointed out that every college
must adjust their programs and
emphasize the sciences and mathe
matics. At the present time 65
to 70 percent of men in the armed
forces are technically trained.
It is up to colleges to insure
physical fitness. His speech men
tioned that the teaching of lan
guages will be increased consider
ably by colleges. Another objec
tive for colleges is to play tip the
war aims and post-war activities.
American universities should
wholeheartedly conform to the de
mands of the government Col
leges should help war industries
by producing more trained men
such as engineers. Medicine, dent
istry and nursing courses should
be recognized and urged to stu
dents. Full Year.
The UN registrar believes that
colleges and students will begin
taking a more active part in ci
vilian defense. Every college
should run on a full year schedule
with an accelerated program.
In the future he thinks that the
various colleges and universities
will accept outstanding students
in high school who lack only a
few credits for graduation. In
this way university credit may be
obtained while ftill taking courses
for high school graduation. A
student taking 16 hours in the
university and lacking two high
school credits would be able to
apply six hours on high school
and graduate and then have 10
hours in the university. A whole
semester may be gained by such
a studi nt.
Mr. Rosenlof pointed out that
these were not jutt aims of the
University of Nebraska. He be
lieves that the above objectives,
aims and results apply to every
American college.

Former Coed
Commissioned
WAVE Ensign
Miss Maxine Cloidt, former stu
dent at the university has been
commissioned as an ensign in the
WAVES. She was head resident at
the Women's Residence Halls last
year, and was called a month ago
for training in the naval auxiliary
force.
Miss Cloidt has been at Smith
College, at Northampton, Massa
chusetts, under intensive training.
The WAVES aid the war effort by
taking over many of the naval of
ficers non-combatant duties, and
thereby releasing them for activet
i service.
