Superior Training, Minds, Fury Here (ionium boys being culled up for t he front receive only six weeks 1 1. in tn? and arc being drilled in t lie tents of nazi idealogy, "that 1hoy may fight with greater fury,'' a New York Times dispatch reported yesterday. -Mtho it is true, Hitler's youth movement lias infested the minds of the very young (icr inan boys who are trained early in fighting, .Americans can feel confident that their young Men are receiving the best in training and preparation for battle. Especially is this true for college students, who, for the most part, have been instructed in military science thru KOTC programs. And now with the ever increasing prospect of the abandonment of the KOTC as it is known to day, both the army and the navy have an nounced special programs that insure the col lege student the very finest of training. The armed services of the U. S. want men and officers as fast as possible; courses have been shortened; classes are being graduated in record time. Yet almost every soldier com pletes at least "nine weeks of basic training, not to mention more time for advanced train ing. The various programs into which members of the KRC will be directed call for a rapid turn-over of men, but quality in training has been placed before speed in instruction. What is more, little time has been spent in drilling the "tents of American idealogy" into U. S. soldiers so that "they can fight with greater fury." Most American soldiers are fighting, con sciously or not, for the American idealogy; they need not be drilled in it. "I'm in 1his war to get the damn thing over with' is the general attitude and to every such statement can be added, "so 1 can start living a happy, peaceful life in a democratic world." That is the idealogy of the American soldier, and it has not been drilled into in. Superior training will tell; a sincere and wholesome philosophy will dominate. Hotter trained, clearer thinking American soldiers are fighting and shall fighL with more fury Ihan even Hitler could hope for from his well drilled Herman hovs." Dear Editor: Because of a misunderstanding of a tech nical detail concerning radio transmission, your collegiate broadcasting station will not go on the air at 10 o'clock tonight. I'N'IOH will not feature programs of strictly student interest in 1 he near future. Station UN'KM would not have been able to produce student program at all if it had not had the complete and welcomed coopera tion of the entire campus. For that. Ave sav, "Thank you." You accented an idea that was new to all of us and you made this idea a fact. You furnished the announcers, sinners, actors, nro ducers, directors, scrip writers, sound effect artists and "idea men." You were the listen ing audience. Your campus station was not an official part of the university. Nevertheless, it did receive the cooperation of at least six univer sity departments and three publications. For that, we say "Thank you." Over (iO of you have worked regularly as a part of the VXEH staff. Over L'OO of you have had speaking or singing parts in front of the IWKIi mike. For that, we say "Thank you." The idea that became a fact is now an idea again. Possibly we could not hope to' make permanent this organization when everything else is being changed. At least, we can hope that, after victory, Nebraska students will again operate their own Broadcasting station. Until then, we will simply concentrate on the latest rumors concerning the KRC.

Use Students For Farm Work About 500,000 college and high school students must be recruited to work on farms in the summer and fall if the country's record food production goals are to be met, Department of Agriculture officials reported Thursday. Dubbed victory farm volunteers, these workers will be signed up by colleges, high schools, and every available youth organization. Al though local communities used student labor last year, this is the first time youth has been organ ized nationally as a farm labor force, agriculture officials report. National Scale. The office of education, the ex tension service of agriculture and the War Manpower commission are co-operating in directing the program, and Y. M. C. A.'s, Y. VV. C. A.'s, 4-H clubs, Future Farmers of America, and many other youth groups are offering their facilities in carrying it out. The American Youth Hostiers, for instance, have waived their rule which prohibits anyone from liv ing for more than three days in a hostel, to accommodate students working on local farms. New York state has amended its education laws to allow, high school boys to miss 30 school days during the year when they are do ing farm work, and other states are making similar adjustments. Seasonal Work. Boys and girls from 14 years up will be recruited, and set to work for periods varying from a few days to four months on harvesting jobs, general farm work, and in food processing plants. Prevailing wages .will be paid, agriculture officials report, with certain allowances made for the workers inexperience when they begin. The volunteers will live at home when possible, or in camps or schools. Older workers will often live on the farms where they are working. By June 1 when most students are out of school and the first ha- vesting falls due the program will be underway, agriculture of ficials report. The children's bureau has al ready worked out certain physical standards which the colleges and schools will be asked to observe in signing up volunteers. Depart ment of agriculture is at work gathering statistics locally on just what the labor needs of each com munity are, and the extension service is doing the recruiting job, aided by the Office of Civilian De fense and the United States Em ployment Service in th larger cities. Six Thousand Bandages Plus Still to Roll . . . For Red Cross BY JOE KINSEY. Down on paper 6,500 bandages sounds like an awful lot! "And it is." said Kay Wells, head of the Red Cross staff of the YW, and the quota must be met within the next two meetings of the surgical dressings group." Determination to those who signed up for the four weeks, and forgot to show up last time. In spiration to those who always come in a little bit late when a worthwhile opportunity presents itself. There are no preliminaries any longer. Simply go to the Red Cross offices, located in the Tele phone building either Saturday morning, or Saturday afternoon, with a white dress, and a white head scarf. In order to prove to the Red Cross headquarters that the Uni versity of Nebraska women can back up a project and see it through, it will be necessary to have full co-operation. Come on gals, remember to save the next two Saturdays for the Red Cross. Allies . .

The third major point in Dr. Vedeler's discussion centered about internation co-operation. There must be internation co-operation in restraint of aggression. If the United Sttaes wishes to remain out of war she must be willing to co-operate with Russia, China and Great Britain in preventing the outbreak of another war, empha sized Dr. Vedeler. Must Cooperate. The will to cooperate was lack ing after the last World war and consequently the machinery set up to prevent another such war failed. If this will is in evidence the ma chinery will evolve. If the will is present the organization will fol low, said Dr. Vedeler. The inter national cooperation must inr!iii. the soviet union and the Anglo American peoples or the world will be in the greatest danger of an other war, concluded Dr. Vedeler. Following: the address the floor was thrown open to discussion and questions. Dunne the ODen forum the point was made that after the war tne influence of Russia and her form of covernment will tremendous. Communism or a likt. form may spread to the Balkans and into Germany. Stalia will un doubtedly seek some of the ris torical objectives that have al ways been embodied in her for eign policy, but other than that Dr. Vedeler did not feel that th soviet union had any particular territorial aspirations.
