Will UN Men Gome Back To Classes After The War? One of the fairest and at the same time educationally sound plans for helping; men who will return from the armed forces was released recently at Iowa State college at Ames, Iowa. Uni versity officials are giving students four credit hours for every three months in military service. Maximum credit which can be earned in this manner is .12 hours. Credits earned in this manner can be applied both to re quired and elective hours. According to the Daily Student, the hours are being granted in exchange for students' service in the army, navy, or marines. This plan seems admirable since many students will be more likely to return to school in the future if they have. 12 hours credit chalked up to them while they are in the armed services. Since students' plans for education have been disrupted by the war, the least educational institutions can do, is help returning students as far as credits are concerned. The program, as outlined by the Daily Student, will be retroactive so that students who went into military service be fore the plan went into effect, will get the benefit of the 12 hours if they return to school. The ruling is effective for under graduates only. University and colleges will find it necessary to offer many gifts to students following the war so that they will have an added incentive to return to school. It will be a natural tendency after the war for students to find it impossible to return to school. Any added attraction which an institution can give. v ill lend itself to further education. Nebraska has already begun n post-war scholarship fund which will help students following the war. This was promoted bv a student organization following an editorial in the student newspaper. What the administration of the university will offer students is still unknown. It might not be sufh a bad idea to follow some plan similar to that at Iowa State. Bull Sessioning At times the talk of college students in the halls and in rooming houses proves quite in teresting and a bit disillusioning. Naturally, a large part of Joe College's conversation with classmates centers the familiar trend of the progress of the war. There seems to be a general feeling among the present crop of boys who frequent the col lege campuses that they are riding the high road to an early death. And even if the youngster is not unduly pessimistic, Latin, English, and zoology seem awfully trite in comparison to , the incomparable adventures which accompany the donnjng of a uniform. Too, each youth not now in uniform secret ly realizes that the good jobs after the war will go to the man who has helped on the front lines to openly repulse the enemy. One sol dier soon after he was commissioned a second lieutenant, was heard to remark that he valued his bars, more than his college degree. ITe was convinced that the commission would be of more value after the peace than the result of his four years' labor for a bachelor's. Then there is a feeling by many eighteen and nineteen year olds that this war is the biggest adventure of the century. It prob. ably is. They feel that something of "once in-a -life-time" variety is occurring and they are viewing it via leters from Fvt, Bill, lee. tures by history professors, the newspaper and the radio. Boys needn't believe that just because they are not in uniform now that they are about to miss the entire show. The first act of this Buper-thriller is still underway. And the head Allied coach has formulated definite plans for using all of his substitutes long before that final gun. Teachers arc obviously having a difficult time in keeping students interested in train ing primarily for civilian life when military training seems so much more important. But even if this war lasts for years, there will be people who will emerge from it. The odds are in the soldier's favor that he wilt eome back, despite the innumerable dangers of military life in the trenches. Of course, people wil 1 die. Teople are killed annually in appalling numbers in automobile accidents. Most men will be back. Then how can college students afford to waste valuable time now when they could be amply fitting themselves not only for war but for life ? Eastern (111.) Teachers News.

Besides these dances for all UN students the various co-ops, the dorm, and Towne Club have held hour dances once or twice weekly since September and the new men's co-op, Brown Palace, hss taken the lead for the men's social activities by holding several Fri day nieht house parties and dances. The Inter-Co-op Council, men's group organized similar to me women's e;rotip, was started last spring and is again coming to life after months of inaction caused, not so much by lack of interest, as by the graduation or induction into the armed forces of all officers and member of last year's Council who understood the organization and had contact with the various houses. Important Party. Biggest social event of the barb season last year was the Inter-Coop's spring formal In the Union ballroom which is to become an annual affair. So. after the NIA Council's fail ure thus far to carry out the usual election campaign promises of a well-planned social program fol lowing a successful ''pre-election" dance, the Interhouse Council has taken over and is furnishing the barb news in the social field. All barb students are invited to the "whistle" dance tonight either with dates or stag.
