DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, December 18, 1942 2 Don't Let Down Announcement of the army-navy plan which came yesterday afternoon was a fitting climax to the tension which both men and women have been under since early this fall. Now that the plan is re leased and students have some general idea of their status, individuals can make plans accordingly. Chancellor C. S. Boucher in a statement to your editor last night said that his guess was that the ERC and ROTC cadets will not be called at the end of this semester but will be allowed to continue at least part of next semester because it will take some time to get the program underway. This statement should be used as the background for some logical reason ing which every student should use before he goes half cocked on what he will do next week or in the next three weeks. Students must continue this semester and keep up their work through final examinations because they have a great deal of money invested in this one semester and because they should take advantage of the credits they can get. If the credit for this se mester is lost by not attending classes and by not taking final exams, students will be one semester farther away from a degree which each will want following the war. If the ERC does not call its men by the beginning of the second semester, every student should enroll for that semester because it may take until April or May to get the program set-up so that students car be taken. If students can get well into next semester before being called, it is very likely that the univer sity will grant credit for that semester as they are now doing. Every credit on a student's record is going to make it just that much easier when he returns to school later. He should take advantage of every op portunity offered by the university so that he can get a degree. And that degree is primarily what every student is in this university to obtain. Students must analyze the whole program and not take just small parts of it when making a de cision. Some of the ERC men probably think they did the wrong thing when they got into that reserve. If they will only analyze and compare their future with that of the draftee, it is obvious that they are for tunate to be in a reserve which will give them tech nical training and a much better opportunity for offi cer's training. College students all over the nation are in this thing together. We must make the most of the pro gram offered and the university credits we will be able to get this semester and possibly next. This is not the time to let down. WOVIANHWAMON Just Unpacked teadif for Jloli(lay fk)ear Pastel 100 Wool Sweaters 3.95 Ulie 3a fori fe (jifh 3 or Coeii Sloppy Joe, slip-over styles with long sleeves.

Stuart, Fairley To Head Rifle Clubs For Year Men's and women's rifle clubs at UN were divided for the first time in history of their existence as members elected separate officers at a meeting Wednesday ni&ht in the Union. James H. Stuart was re-elected president of the men's rifle club and Barbara Fairley was named the first women's club head. Other officers of the two groups include Ramona Stoska, vice president; Mary Ann Swanson, secretary-treasurer; Dorothy Al exander, publicity chairman; and Albert A. Walla, vice-president; Woodrow Collins, secretary-treasurer and O. M. Powell, publicity chairman. On the same night other innova tions took place. The women's rifle team became a member of the Na tional Rifle association. Hereto fore they had been merely a local organization, tho the mens group has long been a part of the NRA. Instead of naming the president from the rifle team, as has always been practiced, the captaincy of the rifle team will rotate each week, while the presidency will last out the term. Stuart was also captain of the rifle team last year. Winning the national freshmen Hearst trophy last year, the uni versity varsity team also came in fourth in the national test against a field of over 350 teams. At the present time there are 64 coeds in the women's club and 200 in the men's group. Weekly Stamp Sales Slump; Union Leads Hitting a distinct slump in the weekly war stamp sales, the War Councd filled the toe of Uncle Sam's Christmas stocking yester day with Nebraska' gift to the boys in service of $66.20. The Union booth, in charge of Janet Krause, barely kept its edge on Ag campus booth, managed by Rachael Ann Lock, with a final photo finish of $16.50 as compared to Ag's 16.15. In the entire year of war stamp sales Ag college has maintained a consistantly high batting average, usually finishing first or second. Other booths in order of sales were Sosh, S15.20, Delta Omicron in the School of Music, 14.45, and MA, 3.90..
