Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second class , mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. The universities are poor and spiritless, with no ambition to lead the country. H. G. Wells, "Social Forces in England and America." This statement of Mr. Wells can hardly be accepted when we stop and realize the spirit and ambition which takes a man to a university, in the first place. The universities are filled with ambitious youths and surely it is the ambitious man who is the leader. If Mr. Wells means that the university students have no ambition to lead the country politically, the organization of political clubs throughout the country, at least shows that they are thinking about it. Surely Mr. Wells has never visited the great universities of the middle west. Have you ever analyzed a smile? Foolish question, perhaps, but nevertheless a smile is the biggest indication of character a man has. Some people smile with their eyes, some with their noses, others with their mouths, and still others with their whole faces. A smile can be kindly and it can be very unkind. It will tell whether a man is honest, credulous or wholesome-minded. A smile is everything.

RALLY BEFORE OREGON TRIP BRIEF BITS OF NEWS PLAN ROUSING SENDOFF FOR TEAM AS IT LEAVES FOR WEST Coaches Want Psychological Effect of Cheer of Loyal Students as Train Pulls Out The University football team, the band, and those rooters who are for tunate enough to be able to make the trip, will leave Lincoln for Portland, Ore., next Tuesday evening. Their departure will be speeded by a rally of students greater than any ever at tempted before, according to plans be ing made by the Innocents. The coaches hope that the team will be given a send-off that will stick so strongly in their minds that when they trot upon the field at Portland, October 21, in a strange country, a different climate, a hostile audience, and a new opponent, the old Nebraska ! spirit will still be present with them.

The Greek let ter societies are preparing for the new rushing rules which prohibit freshmen pledging to those fraternities whose scholarship average is below that gen eral average for all fraternities. A closer tab will be kept on the nu n this year than ever before, as none of the organizations are anxious to be caught in a rut when pledging begins next September. Subscriptions from alumni of the University continue to come to The Nebraskan office in a steady stream, indicating the permanent interest the old grad takes in his university. Some of the subscriptions are accompanied by letters in which the alumnus tells of the particular departments in which he or she Is interested, and asks that special attention be given them. Most of them are anxious to see what prog ress the football team makes in its workouts, all of them are glad to see the alumni news, and all are inter ested in one or another department. City laundries which have for a number of years ben granting dis counts of 20 per cent on laundry to organizations such as fraternities, , have raised the price this year ar.d are j granting ft discount of but 15 per cent This is another Indication of the high cost of living. The laundries have ! alan MifaA,1 Hoa nrlttiln ia nn.i 4wr ! : years, so that shirts cost two or three cents more to launder than formerly. Of course the presence of the band will be a big asset in helping the team remember the University. But there is a psychological effect in a rousing send-off from the student body as a whole that it is hoped will not be lacking as the eleven goes forth to conquer the world. Further and more complete an nouncements of the rally for next Tuesday night will be made later. VARSITY BAND PLAYS LUSTILY Made Music All Day Long on Streets of Lincoln Helping 8ale of Tickets The stato University band blew more lustily yesterday than in any of the very lusty blows of its career. From early morning to late at night the organization, hauled up and down the streets of Lincoln in a hay wagon, made music with all the vigor of a circus band. The band made good with the peo ple down town, according to all the sidewalk conversation that 'has been recorded. Every piece, it is safe to say, was rendered to the tunefullest ability of the musicians two or three times during the eight or nine hours the men were on the street. Tuesday noon the Commercial and Rotary clubs of the city were visited by the band, which put on an im promptu concert. Both of these or ganizations are boosting for the band to make the trip to the coast with the football team. Walk to Portland.

JUNIORS ELECT MINOR OFFICERS (Continued from Fage One) hoots, and shouts of approbation inter mingled, and Tully called for a rising vote on the question of closing the nominations. It was defeated by a narrow margin, and Edna Coffee and Kate Helzer were at once put up. Another rising vote was taken, and it was found that Miss Reeder had 28 votes, Miss Coffee 16, and Miss Helzer and called upon to speak, but she ig nored the request. Reaction Came The enthusiasm over the election of the vice-president caused a reaction, and when Laflin was proposed for secretary-treasurer, no one had the nerve to nominate anyone else. He was de clared the unanimous choice of the assemblage, and the meeting moved on to the election of sergeant-at-arms. This precipitated another little ses sion of pleasantry and noisy verbiage. Carl GrafT was the first nominated, then Homer Carson was put into the running, and lastly DeWitt Foster was named. The last selection met with noisy approval,, and there were cries that if Foster had not been given a square deal, he could now be given an office. The votes for Graff and Carson ; did not figure In the final result Fos ter was the almost unanimous choice of the class. The election being over, and the call of Tully for new business resulting in a blank silence, the class adjourned. 7 n n L Use KEEPIN cool under fire shows a good soldier an' good tobacco.
