They're Helping Themselves . . . One of the most interesting campus war efforts is being carried out on the University of Oregon campus that has come to the atten tion of the Daily Nebraskan in a long time. Feeling the need for continued education fol lowing tKe war for those men who arc called before they graduate, the student war com mittee there is sponsoring a drive for a student service scholarship fund. .According to Robert M. Ilutchins, president of the University of Chicago, "technical train ing which is not based on liberal education will produce only robots. Robots . . . cannot con tribute to peace; they can le only a menace to the nation." With colleges stepping their curriculums to technical subjects, essential only to the war effort, a period of readjustment for the men who fight will be necessary follow ing the war. Oregon is taking the matter in its own hands and preparing a way for those men to complete their educations following the war along a more liberal plan of education. This plan will not only develop well grounded thinkers and workmen for the world of tomorrow, but it will prepare men and women who have left school for the war effort for the leadership they will need to prepare a proper peace and make the necessary economic, social and other readjustments which will follow the war. Oregon's service scholarship fd started with $122 profit from a greek-independent basketball game. The house managers' asso ciation agreed to donate bonds each term to Dear Mr. Editor: while hugging the davenport in front of my radio yesterday 1 was interested in hearing that three up and coming students have started a university radio station. I truthfully be lieve that this station should have University of Nebraska recognition. It should be shown to the administration that academic require ments should be cut down on staff members of this organization. They shouldn't have to get their lessons, which would better fit them for war work in any of the uniformed services, but thev should forget their studies and devote their time to entertaining the pt sonnel of the campus. Lincoln's two radio stations do not furnish enough entertainment in their 5 :45 a. m. to 12:00 p.m. schedules for students who Have NOTES ON WAR WASHINGTON. (ACT). Congress has passed no legisla tion ordering colleges to give students pre-mUitary training. Nor is there a Student Army Training Corps as in the last war. Yet Many colleges report that 70 to 90 per cent of their stu dents are enrolled in one or another branch of the military forces . . . The army expects to get a third of all its officers from college campuses ... Colleges themselves will train about 250,000 men this aca demic year for the Student Enlisted Reserve Corps, the army and navy ROTC ... Another 250,000 will he sent from the services to colleges for specialized training . . . Besides that, 50,000 men now in uniform will receive in struction through army correspondence courses offered by 77 riollepes ... Furthermore, some 800,000 men and women will receive nothing better to do with their time. Money training this year, in 250 colleges and universities, lor tecmucai spent on this station by individuals would be work in war plants ... . . .

Students on the Oregon campus are far sighted enough to plan ahead and help, in a small way, the rehabilitation which will be necessary among students following the war. The government has also made some steps ini iha imp and if enouch interest is QlVl fy lfjs - aroused in colleges over the country, the men and women who are leaving campuses now to dents could choose between English and German. A student at Christian college in Bergen, Norway, wrote a paper in which he referred to the words in John's Gospel, "The son shall make you free. The Nazis confiscated the paper be cause they believed it was a reference to th Crown Prince Olav. That word 'free' has always been a stickler for Adolf. French publishers are permitted no more than enough helD in the war will have some means with paper to print one-third of the normal number of school books. which to return to school. The plan has excellent possibilities. Would it work here! On Main-floor Library Displays Bookplates From UN, Foreign Countries Displayed in the main-floor showcase of UN library this week are bookplates. One section of the case is devoted to the book plates used in the university's va rious libraries. These plates include the plate used in the college of medicine library at Omaha. This plate shows a picture of a college build ing. The bookplate used in the books in the Book-nook is another item in this section. All books in the university li braries have the official bookplate of the university. The precsnt bookplate was selected - by Dr. Walter Jewett, librarian from 1906 to 1913. The university seal is the outstanding cut on the plate. Includes Special Plates. Among the special bookplates are those used to denote the books which have been given to the uni versity by George Elliot Howard, a member of the class of 1876 and later librarian of the univer sitv library.

Adapting and concentrating the remaining talent was the next duty and after the fraternities were slated to prepare skits Kosmet Klub looked for a place in which to hold its Fall Revue.

Consultations were held, Kos met Klub agree, the theater signed the contract and so Sat urday, Nov. 21, is the final date. It was a long and hard fight but a page of University Tradition will not be torn out of the book which in the beginning was thin. There will be a show, it will produce some of the best skits seen on the campus for a long time since the fraternities are vieing among themselves. And then, this is war! There will be a Nebraska Sweetheart and Prince Kosmet presented. This is another stymie ing influence which nearly caused trouble for the fall show. Tou can still bet that this show will be tops because the 11 actives along with 17 workers are re doubling their efforts to prove that a tradition ao firmly entrenched should be permitted to continue as long as it is performing a serv ice.
