largest single u-onation to the
Student Foundation War Scholar
ship fund is that of a $500 war
bond contributed during Christmas
vacation by Arthur A. Dobson,
graduate of the university in 1911.
Dobson, Lincoln contractor and
member of selective service No. 2
of Lancaster county, commented
Hint he was prompted to give to
the fund by his sympathy for
university students who have in
teiiipted and curtailed their educa
tion to serve in the country's war
effort.
In the last week of school before
vacation $4.91 was collected from
the contribution bottles around the
enmpus for the scholarship fund.
This sum is only a fair collection
for one week. Foundation presi
dent John J. Douglass said, but
he predicts that the contributions,
will increase as the students learn
to recognize the contribution
bottles.
Total contributions to the fund
at the present are $8.39, Douglass

New Students May
Before Finishing High School
Must Require
Only One Unit
ForGraduation
High school students who are
within one credit unit of gradua
tion at the end of the current se
mester are being urged to enter
college and university study, Dr.
G. W. Rosenlof, university regis
trar, said Wednesday.
The university has made pro
vision for registration of new stu
dents who are not high school
graduates if such .students possess
11 units from senior high school,
or 15 units from a four year high
school, providing registering stu
dents have been recommended by
their principal.
Kill Two Birds . . .
Purpose of the plan is to allow
students who would otherwise de
bt y college entrance until the fall
term to complete requirements for
hih school diplomas and at the
HMme time acquire 10, 12, or 15
unit hours of college credit.
Not a new plan, Rosenlof point
ed out, the university has for years
been admitting a considerable
number of Lincoln high school
students on recommendation of
their principal in charge. These
students, after registering in the
university, completed their high
school requirements during the
first semester, along with several
university courses.
Groups Favor Plan.
Whether the committee on ad
missions will recommend any dif
ferent basis of admission is not
now known, the registrar said.
Considerable pressure is being
brought In favor of the plan by

Urges Waiting.
"I am disturbed by the fact that
so many of our students are not
willing to stand by until they ac
tually receive orders for induc
tion," Rosenlof declared.
"To my mind such students are
not playing fair with themselves,
are failing to take, the common
sense, long-range viewpoint. After
all, the armed forces are inter
ested in taking the best trained
man," he added, "who leaves
man," he added," who leaves
school earlier than necessary is
cheating himself and defeating the
purposes of the selective scn'ice
system."
Explains Credit Set-up.
In view of the uncertainty re
garding the future of college men,
the registrar pointed out, "stu
dents would do best to go anead
and register for the second semes
ter as in previous years."
The present set-up allows for a
refund of fees to students called
before the end of the eight week
of a semester, with half of the
regular credit hours, or more, al
lowed for completion of from nine
to twelve weeks.
Full credit is allowed inductees
called after completion of 12
weeks, with additional credit
available by examination if calls
come before that much time has
elapsed.

study," Rosenlof said, "is that

Sales Runner
In Slow Start
War stamp sales booths will be
open for the regular Thursday
war stamp sales on both city and
ag campuses today. Booths will
be located as usual in MA, Social
Science, School of Music, Student
Union and Ag Hall.
Total sales of $1066.75, which
include all stamps sold on war
stamp Thursdays, military ball
corsages, and special sales, is far
from the arbitrary goal of $5000
sot at the beginning of the year.
The victory runner on the Union's
baseball diamond graph still has
to reach first base, $1250, before
he can reach home base, the vic
tory goal of $5000.
War stamps are the best invest
ment for Christmas money, extra
dimes and quarters, and left over
shopping money of the student
body. Boost the victory runner
along his way to first base, and
then to the victory goal today!
