Sitting complacently in our class rooms, few of us realize just what an air raid would moan. Few' of us have ever seen a blackout and few of us even realize what the people of London, Berlin, and the thousands of Chinese cities and. towns have gone through when bombs come screaming from the air to create havoc and destruction. Lincoln, Nebraska a small city in the middle of the country will have a'blackout December 14. This city is prob ably one of the few cities of its size in the country which does not have some military objective, a good target for an enemy bomb. So we sit and laugh at the thought of blackouts, air raid warden schools and all of the other things which a good portion of the population of the entire world lias seen and has suffered. If we coukV suddenly jolt ourselves out of this complacency find realize that warden schools and blackouts arc just as im portant in Lincoln, Nebraska, and on this campus as they are in New York City or Los Angeles, we would know what this war was- about. Instead we sit and laugh. "Most of the students on this campus will be leaving here within the next few months, next year, or the next. They will undoubtedly be located in cities where they can get jobs in war industries and in other positions vital to the war effort. These war industries are a target for enemy bombs and blackouts are a common occurrence. If we do not get the proper training right now for the things we will inevitably face in the future, many of us will be out on a limb when an air raid does occur. Training for air raids is as important for the civilian population, as training in military tactics is important for the military population. So we can't laugh training of this type in the face. We must face it and we must prepare. The university is sponsoring an air raid warden's school for three nights beginning next week. These classes will be conducted by instructors who have taken the regular air raid warden's training. They will prove highly valuable to any student who Mill devote three hours preparing for a raid in which he could save the lives of many hundreds of people. It isn't a laughing matter after all. Tt is serious business. These classes are open to both men and women, faculty and students. The university is going to participate in blackouts iii this city. We must have proper training for men and women who will be responsible or 4,(X0 students who are attending classes. The Student War committee is signing up volunteers for tthc class which will meet on Tuesday nights for the next three weeks. If the student attends the three meetings be will be issued a card showing that he can be placed in a position of responsibility in a building on the campus when an alarm is sounded during the day. Those students who will want to laugh this off may. For those who realize the value of this short and interesting train ing, the doors arc open. Those who do take the course, will know what they should do during a blackout, and assume a responsibility for the great mass of people who will not know what to do. The trained students will, after all, have the last laugh. In fact, they may be the only ones who will remain alive to laugh. Design School Shows Student Art Work Here Student work from the Parson's School of Design, New York, forms an exhibit in the second floor corridor at Morrill Hall. The exhibit is from Nov. 22 until Dec. 10. The Parsons' School of Design Is a professional art school which toaches fashion illustration, cos tume design, interior decoration, and commercial advertising. Each year it offers a scholarship to a University of Nebraska student. Mr. Kirsch and Miss Schwake of the Nebraska artfaculty have both attended the Paris branch of this school.

They will not, how ever, be expected to patrol dur ing the first Nebraska blackout December 14, but only to observe. Faculty members and administra tive staffs are also urged to at tend this free series of lectures. Booths are in charge of Janet Krause and Rachael Ann Lock, War Council representatives.

Skinny Gone BY DALE WOLF Registration for the farm opera tors short course, after three days, has reached a total of 12 boys and one girl. The course, for the first time, is offering subjects to girls as well as boys. It has been planned to teach home economics to the girls but unless more girls enter the course, this idea will be abandoned. The short course has been streamlined to meet the. war needs and has been cut from the normal 16 weeks to a 12 week course. In this way, the boys will be able to remain on the farm during the busy season and to attend school during the slack season. By this method, more boys will be able to enter the course, than under the old system. This farm operators short course offers courses in all of the basic agricultural subjects and in Speech and English. The instruction has been divided into two six week pe riods and the students may regis ter for either or both periods. The registration will continue for the rest of the week and ac cording to II. V. Srb, head of the short course, the enrollment is ex pected to reach a total of 20 stu dents. I would like to take this oppor tunity to welcome you short course students to the campus and invite you to use our facilities and come to our parties. I'm sure you will find the students on this campus very friendly and easy to meet. The way to get the most out of this course is to enter into the "college spirit" now. You animal husbandry students who have been practicing judging this year in your classes will soon find that one of your first place fat steers will no longer be in the ranks of the judged. The animal referred to is "Skin ny," the 1942 Nebraska grand champion 4-H baby beef who has been on loan to the ag college for use as a "guinea pig" in many a judging class. "Skinny" won a re prieve from death because of ceil ing prices but will finally be slaughtered for select steaks and choice roasts. STATE Always 25c Sr. Mra tot Starti Today!
