SELF-CONFIDENCE.
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.

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.

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. To those

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.
