It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own, but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the serenity of solitude. Emerson. Memorial Hall, 11:00 a. m. THERE. BE You have got to give it to Carl; he is some campaigner. And we believe Ganz will make good senior president. When we see the brave cadets marching around the campus the danger of invasion seems far away, Will the candidates now .please hand in their expense accounts for investigation under the corrupt prac tices law. And John E. Lanz had no opposi tion. Was it because the office of junior president is not a much de sired commodity, or was it because no one had the courage to run against John? CONVOCATIO NTHIS MORNING. At 11 o'clock this morning, in Me morial Hall, Mrs. Raymond will give the first of nine symphony programs to be given during the year. She will be assisted by Ed J. Walt, first vio lin; Mrs. August Molzer. second violin; William T. Quick, viola, and Miss Lillian Eiche, 'cello. The students and members of the faculty, are to be congratulated on having the opportunity this year to hear the entire series of Beethoven's symphonies. It is to be expected that a large number will take advantage of this cultural treat. A NATURAL THING. "The military system is to blame for this war," is the popular com ment. And it comes near being the truth. The life of the military caste in a time of profound peace is nigh near tragic. They are denied the op portunity to make practical use of their training and knowledge. Strong men in such cases feel themselves, and are, but parasites on society. They are in the position of potential lawyers who are restrained from using their talents in court. Soldiers naturally, though perhaps uncon sciously, long for an opportunity to win glory along the line of their chosen work. When peace lasts very long the soldier class shrinks in importance. If peace lasts too long, military work becomes a poorly paying and despised profession. Even today the only real admirer the professional soldier has is the Tain girl who craves a uni formed beau. It is not strange, there fore, that the military class, for the sake of the dignity of their profes sion would be willing to go to war on a very slight pretext. THE FORUM NEBRASKA LACKS WIND. The Cornhusker studes need a bel lows. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves to go out on Nebraska field and make a faint murmur like unto the sighing of the wind in the trees Why the little grade school boys that were out for the game last-Saturday made more noise than all the Ne braska hosts put together. There was absolutely no "pep" in the yell line Just because we are in the habit of defeating Washburn, is no reason that wc should not take advantage of the chance to practice up for times like November 14, when we may need to know how to yell. Now, let's get busy on this thing, Nebraskans. PICK. WHO'S WHO dean and professor in the department of botany, was born in Wayne county, Ohio, in 1845.

ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT POSTMORTEMS AND PROPHESIES By & I- KYLE. The movies taken of the Cornhusker iquad are being shown at the Magnet Thentrp. Thev show Coach Stiehm and Capt. Halligan in a characteristic pre-season smile. Missouri University was walloped last Saturday by the Rolla School of Mines bv a score of 9 to 0. That looks humiliating, but is it? An early season defeat has made champions many times. Captain Ferguson of the Coyotes eiehs 185 pounds and makes about three-fourths of the tackles according to Assistant Coach Hoeffel.

Saturday. The press reports Sunday turned the tables on them but the data from the official scorers says it was 15 to 0 in favor of the Aggtes. Be prepared for low scores on that Man hattan trip. "Tony" Vidal, who was a student at Nebraska last semester, is playing left half on the South Dakota team. He is a mighty shifty fellow and throws the pig skin like the ordinary fellow throws a baseball. We will see one of th'e prettiest exhibitions of open football Saturday on record. The Jay-hawkers have changed their style of play entirely for their schedule this fall. The Minnesota shift never availed them much. They have the weight and the speed to at tempt any sort of game they see fit. Their team averages between 175 and 180. Their quarterback weighs only 136 pounds. We ail feel sorry for the little boy when he runs into the Corn husker backs. Harry Ewing, coach J5f the South Dakota State College, the team which played the South Dakota Coyotes last Saturday, is an old Nebraska player. He was assistant coach two seasons after graduation. . Harry refused to permit the veteran Potts, the South Dakota center, to play in the annual romp this year, on .the ground that he shoufd be pensioned. Harry certainly showed the proper spirit in refusing to pick "on an old man. University Y.M.C.A. Cafeteria IN THE TEMPLE .
