NEBRASKA'S PART
IN PREPAREDNESS
Freparedness is inevitable. Wheth
er the administration's plan is fol
lowed to the letter or not, we may
safely say that important steps are
soon to be taken to make our nation
stronger in case of war. The atti
tude of congress and the national
press has made this a non-partisan
issue.
The part that colleges are taking
in this important movement is inter
esting. Elsewhere in this issue may
be found an account of an organiza
tion of summer military camps, copied
after the Plattsburg camp idea. These
will be composed largely of college
men. In the east the idea is received
enthusiastically. At Columbia, for
instance, several hundred students
promised to attend these camps, as a
result of a campaign by the Specta
tor. In other schools companies con
sisting of both students and faculty
have been organized in connection
with the national guard. They are
now drilling, and are becoming quite
ecient in military science.
At Nebraska nothing in this line
has been done, except possibly the
strengthening of the cadet regiment.
Is it because the west is less patri
otic? Is it because we have less Ini
ative? Or is it because the matter
has not been properly called to our
attention?
Why cannot Nebraska be represent
ed at the summer camps? Why can
we not have a company of the na
tional guard on the campus?
Let's show the United States that
we are as ready to fight for our coun
try as we are to fight for our school.
ANNOUNCE MENU
FOR BREAKFAST
(Continued from page 1)
Tickets for the seniors have been
placed in the library and many have
been given out to the prospective
graduates. They will be passed out
today and tomorrow, but a senior who
does not secure one before Friday
niht will have to pay for his break
fast. The breakfast will become one of
the most cherished traditions of the
school if it is properly supported.
That it will be so is indicated by the
demand for tickets among the seniors
and the interest being manifested by
the juniors.

O WOULD THAT I COULD PLAY
O would that I could play today,
And while away my time;
I'd sit out on a campus bench,
And live a life sublime.
I'd watch the studes go hurrying by,
I'd watch the teachers, too;
But best of all, I'd find out why
Lone "fussers" are so few.

PASTRY
We must stick to it. This is an
answer to yesterday's poem:.
You may wish to be a pot of paste,
'Tis a laudable ambition.
But indigestion comes to those
Who for pastry are a-wishin.
She wore a drees,
I laughed at it,
For brevity's
The soul of wit.

"JEANNE D'ARC" IS A
NOTABLE PRODUCTION
( Continued from page 1)
question whether such a performance,
entailing the ver hard labor that it
does, is worth the effort. "Jeanne
D'Arc" appealed to the audience last
night intellectually. Those who sat
through the three and a half hours
of the performance enjoyed them
selves and enjoyed the play; it
doubtless convinced them it was a
splendid piece of work, and they re
joiced, not only in Miss Howell's tri
umph, but in the Justification of the
6tudy of dramatic art among the uni
versity students.
But there is room for very much
doubt whether the emotions of any
of the audience were stirred wheth
er they felt an awakening of the soul
such as the drama, in its highest art,
should bring. Would not a play that
would touch to the quick the hearts
of the audience, as well as arouse
their intellectual approbation, have
better rewarded the efforts of the uni
versity players?

in the literary art that more nearly
reaches the sensibilities of persons,
