S. BOUCHER
Two communications received yesterday by Chancellor C. S.
Boucher indicate that the list of institutions to be selected for
the Army Specialized and the Navy Collegiate Training units
will be released jointly by the War and Navy departments
within the next 30 to GO days and that other details of the pro
grain will be announced some time thereafter.
"Nebraska is almost certain to be used, but just bow or
when we don't know. We don't know because no decision has
been reached in regard to any institution under this new pro
r m .In fact, no conlract has been let to any institution under
i new program since its establishment the first week of De
i;inber." The chancellor went on to clarify the situation as re
gards Nebraska by saying that probably an army unit or units
would be established here because the university is an accredited
KOTO school, with complete instructional and laboratory facili
ties in that branch of the armed services.
Chancellor Boucher's guess is that after the 30 to 60 day
period small groups will arrive until .lane, and the first large
unit will arrive in June.

With all but the payment of

sizeable number of students, par
ticularly those men in the re
serves and of draft age, enrol
ing for the coming semester, in
dicated Dr. A. R. Congdon, head
of assignment committee, yester
day. Although reports as to the exact
number of students registering
were not available, the drop in
enrollment of male students was
not as heavy as was at first ex
pected. "Apparently all of the
male students took the advice of
the university officials, and are
planning to stay in school as long
as possible," stated Dr. Congdon,
Advise 'Stay in School.'
Previous to registration week,
students had been advised through
bulletins from university officials
and notices in the Daily to stay
in school as long as possible,
thereby Increasing their chances
of gaining maximum college train

Puts Students
In Ear Muffs
A shuddering drop of the mer
cury accompanied by frequent sud
den blasts of the wind brought
out all the slacks, ear muffs, heavy
scarves and mittens, and red flan
nels available to university men
and women.
A steady reading of 10 below
zero for four shivering hours yes
terday morning and the report of
no hope for relief brought agon
ized crie3 from between chatter
ing teeth of students skittering
from class to class.
Lincoln students averaged ten to
fifteen minutes late for classes be
cause cars wouldn't start, and Ag
college students reported icy buses
where the driver could scarcely
drive for bouncing up and down
on his seat in a vain attempt to
keep warm. The students sat on
books to avoid contact with the
chilled leather of the seats.
Precipitation was measured at
.05 in Lincoln and wind velocity
at 22 miles an hour.
No hope of relief in sight and
Friday it looked as if spring had
come!

Men Come Through.
The red banner of the Innocents
is still waving after members Ren
Bukacek, Max Laughlin, Preston
Hays, and Larry Huwalt lost their
dignity in doing everything from
riding bicycles around the stage
to eating stringy spaghetti.
Ren Bukacek and Alice Louise
Becker collaborated on one of
their consequences to act out an
original script by Romulo Solde
villa based on a radio soap opera,
Becker played the part of Ver
onica Vinquist of the D. S. C. (Dis

love with Mr. O'Toole, Bukacek.
The comedy script ended with a
well-known lover's peck for the
benefit of the studio audience ani

Preston Hays didn't warm up
to his consequence in any sense
of the word. He had to hold a
cake of ice. Ren Bukacek was
the unlucky Innocent who ate the
slippery spagetti while answering
questions.
Eggs were the central theme
of two of the Mortar Board's con
sequences. Betty Newman gave
