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.)

Hour Dances.
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
