Male Attendance Expected to be Cut to Greater Extent
Than Last Year, While Many of Female Students
r - Enter Service of the Government
To Do Their Bit
With the opening of the fall term of college a few weeks
Rway, the prospects arc the enrollment of men students for
the second war year will be still reduced below the attend
ance of last year.
Last year found many co-education-effect of the war been so noticeable
as in athleticj. The crack athletes
have mostly gone into the service,
The professional coach system has
gone by the board, vastly to the re
lief of most educators be
cause the coaches are for the most
part doing special athletic work at
the training camps or are in other
branches of the service.
Athletics have been distributed, so
to speak, among a greater portion of
the student body and the students
vvho really need the athletic training
are now getting it on the teams, in
stead of the "crack" athletes who
composed the teams before, but who
did not need the training.
Nebraskans can point with pride to
th fact that not a single Nebraska
higher institution of learning has been
forced to close its doors because of
war conditions. War has forced some
of them to draw the lines pretty
tight, to make curtailments in various
ways, but all have decided to keep
running if only as a patriotic measure
and to carry out the president's in
junction to young men to remain in
college as long as they could.
High school graduates and college
students with a year or two of college
work who have been hesitant about
entering or returning to college this
fall because of attractive positions in
commercial and other lines, are es
pecially urged by educators to heed
:j... i. . i.T
kl colleges run with a heavy prepond
rance of women students. Before
he close of the year, practically all
jof the men over 21 years of age had
entered the service and a large num
jber of'.those over 18 had joined the
Colors.
Since there are but few colleges in
he middle west for men students
Ibnly, the collges were able to sup-
gort themselves through the normal
attendance of women students.
The attendance of women students
his year will no dobt be materially
reduced by the attractive positions
.which are open to women in various
fcommerial lines, but leading educators
throughout the country feel confident
that education for women has received
it great impetus through the emphasis
placed upon higher education by the
government and by the high standard
set by the Red Cross, which is offer
ing credit in nurses' training for time
spent in colleg.
Special Work for Women.
Many colleges have Sntroduced spe
cial courses for women desiring train
ing in special lines ot war woric.
Courses in practical sociology, nurs
ing, household economics and other
practical subjects, have been intro
duced into institutions which last year
i offered only the regular courses,
'l The new draft bill to register all
men between 18 and 45 years of age
is causing considerable uneasiness to
many college officers throughout the
ftountry. The reliance for men students
ist year was upon the men between
sei and 21. Tf these are called for
rjvice before the year is out, it will
rcniv most 'ie men students now
favcV tne tlier hand, many colleges
menf ',een designated by the govern-trainf-
as special schools for military
tired n or 'ie men students and re
' ed asfjnd other army officers appoint
officiaL sPfc'a' instructors. College
fnr hJs point to this fact as ground
perhar,re that the government may
euch cfs a"ow students over 18 in
take folleges t'o remain in college and
'iteadjme'r military training there in-
' of at an army camp. ,
Teachers Gone to War.
fa fte effect of the war has been felt
01ypractically every college in the
tSa'ntry. Both instructors and stu-
int9 have gone into service. The
."number of men students has been re
duced. New courses ior special war
: work have been introduced into col
t pages which a few years ago frowned
gjijion anything save instruction in the
Suberal arts. Even in the regular
UJOHrses of study the effect of the
jjj'ar has been to place the emphasis
yon the so-called "social" courses,
itich as sociology, history, econom
ics, political science and others.
Perhaps in no department has the
L
the president's request and to 'secure
higher education while they have the
opportunity. The emphasis placed
upon college training by the govern
ment in choosing men for officers in
the national army has acted as a great
factor in bringing home to many
young people, the advantages of high
er education.
Special Course in Military
Science Will Be Given for
Men of Draft Age at
Y. M. C. A.
The policy of the Young Men's
Christian association has always been
to offer to young men what they most
need at the existing time. The great
est demand for educational work now
is for special army and navy service.
Several classes have been outlined
and will begin on September 9. These
classes are for all men who expect
to go into army service any time with
in the next six months. These
courses will appeal to men between
the ages of 18 and 45.
The government is constantly send
ing requests to this office for radio
and signal corps men. The demand
is very much greater than the supply.
There has been and will be a great de
mand for men who understand gas en
gines. A special class will be or
ganized for those men who desire
this kind of work. Any man who, has
had special training from the mili
tary manuals, who understands drill
ing and military tactics, will have a
great opportunity for becoming a non
commissioned officer when going to,
cantonments.
Captain Wise Will Teach.
A special class teaching military
tactics will begin on September 9. with
Lapt. II. A. Wise of the 62d balloon
company, Iort Umalia, as instructor.
Captain Wise is, perhaps, one of the
best authorities on military science
in this part of the county. Men who
are interested in this course should
enroll at once, as the class will be
limited to a certain number.
There is a great demand in the
quartermaster's department of all
branches of the army for clerical men.
This offers opportunity for those who
Brownell Hall to Open in
New Quarters September 15
Brownell Hall will open on Sep
tember 18 at 556-560 South Twentv-
eighth street. Painting, redecorating
and cleaning are now being carried on
and as soon as the buildings are
ready announcement will be made so
that all who are interested may call.
It is very much desired that
parents who are considering sending
their daughters to Brownell Hall will
make their arrangements promptly.
There is much new equipment to be
purchased. The difficulties at this
time of securing supplies, of obtain
ing help, etc., are known to all, and
the committee in charge finds itself
handicapped by not knowing how
many students to expect. The new
principal is Miss Elsie Thomas, a
Vassar graduate, who has just taken
her master's degree at the University
of Chicago. She has had several
years' experience, both as associate
principal and principal of schools in
the east and Chicago.
Every effort will be made to give a
home atmosphere to the boarding de
partment and the standard of scholar
ship will be that of the leading schools
of the country. The French and Span
ish will be. in charge of native teach
ers. The music is tinder the direc
tion of Miss Sophie Nainska. There

Sixteen Creighton Men to
Continue Military Training
Sixteen young men from the
Creighton university are attending the
military training school at Fort Sheri
dan, 111., in accordane with the gov
ernment's plan for continued military
training in the colleges wxt vear.
These young men will be of assist
ance to the commandant, who, it is
expected will e be a resident officer,
detailed by the army for the work
at Creighton. Six hours a week will
be given to military drill and instruc
tion. Credit toward degrees will be
given for the work, and it is under
stood that should the 18 to 45 draft
law be passed, young men falling un
der this law will be allowed to con
tinue their studies, provided they are
taking the military drill.
