Students 'Kick In'
Nebraska students opened their hearts and their pocketbooks last
week and "kicked in" to three campus war drives for money.
The campaigns to raise money for the funds, two of which are
national drives one is solely for university students have met with
great success.
The war scholarship fund, which is meant for university students'
use at the end of the war, has been created and is being created out
of the donations of students, organized houses, alumni gifts, other or
ganized groups and through various social affairs.
The total, which now stands at $2,010, was recently raised to this
amount by $25 bond donations this week from the AWS, Beta Sigma
Psi, Love Memorial hall, Pershing Rifles and Phi Delta Theta.
The drive for the World Student Service fund set a goal of $1,000,
but this amount was passed in the first week of the campaign by $175.
Fraternity-sorority box socials began the activities of the drive, and
since then pledges and contributions have added $500 to the previous

Approximately
Release Jr. Division Survey
Mors than 3,000 students have
made use of the consultant service
of the University of Nebraska
junior division during the two and
one-half years of operation of the
junior division, to which all enter
ing students are assigned till
sophomore standing is attained.
These students, mostly freshmen,
have held more than 4,000 confer
ences about problems of vocational
choice, the identifying of aptitudes
and personal and social adjust
ment. Approximately 6,000 Individual
tests of aptitudes, interests, and
personality traits have been given
in connection with the conferences.
These figures were revealed by
Dr. N. A. Begtson, dean of the
junior division, in describing one
of the many functions of the divi
sion. Dean Bengtson called attention
that :
1. One-half credit will be given to ERC members called
who are in good standing as of March 26.
2. Students should stay in school until called so as to
meet KRC requirements.
3. There will be a ten to fourteen day interval between
call and induction.
Meanwhile, the status of the ERG and the advanced ROTC
was outlined by Col. Raymond JJriggs, civilian components
officers of the Seventh service command, to the Daily Ne
braskan in a telephone conversation.
Col. Briggs told the Nebraskan that members of the ERC
would receive orders on March 15, would probably go into the
service at the very last of March or early April, depending on
Slective Service quotas.
Approximately 300 UN men will be affected, university
officials said yesterday.
Original plans announced several months ago provided
that members of the advanced course ROTC would he activated
upon arrival of a special army program on the campus. Col.
Driggs said, however, that this might be foregone to avoid
difficulties arising from the need for housing men for a few
months.
The colonel also warned students not to drop out of school
before receiving orders. Such students will be treated aparl
from regular ERG members, he said, adding that the ERC will
probably entail certain advantages to the students.

to the fact that the conferences
and tests are arranged voluntarily
by the students. Students are
never obligated to take testa or

some of them are urged by their

Survey Discloses
Cigarette Supply
Can Meet Demand
An extensive survey recently
completed by the War Produc
tion Board shows that the
American public doesn't need to
worry about it's cigaret supply.
Altho demands have been
large, and some of the ingred
ientssuch as glycerine and
sugar are on the scarce list,
"no restrictions on the manufac
ture or distribution of sigarets
are necessary at present," the
WPB reports.
The survey discloses that
stocks of cigaret tobacco in the
hands of dealers are adequate
for the time being, that the 1942
tobacco crop was large, and that
imports of Turkish tobacco are
still sufficient to fill the needs
of the trade. Unlike most in
dustries, the cigaret industry
has no labor problem because it
is highly mechanized. Also the
industry functions on coal, so
the oil shortage doesn't hamper
it, the WrB reports.

Men and women in the armed
services who have taken courses,
picked up languages, or learned
new techniques while in service
will have a chance to test their
"educational growth," the war
and navy departments announced
last week, and will probably be
able to get college or shcool credit
on the basis of these tests.
The war and navy departments
reported that the tests were being
prepared now and would be avail
able when finished to any service
man who wants to take them. Re-
