Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 8, 1879.
The Forum, today, contains a query concerning the band and its
whereabouts, last Wednesday night at the Kansas-Nebraska debate.
It is true that the band was featured on the programs given out at the
debate, and that the .only feature about it was the name on the
program.
The band always draws a crowd. The "best University band in
the country" is a band that everyone enjoys hearing. Why it was not
at the debate to support the team, and then could play for free admis
sion to the wrestling match at the Auditorium, the next evening, is a
mystery. ,
The absence of the band at the debate Wednesday night is history
now, but when the debating team, in the future, needs, and looks for
ward with appreciation to the support of the band at a debate, the
band will be there "to deliver the goods."
Sir Rabindranath Tagore, the world's greatest living poet, teacher
and philosopher, will be in Lincoln, January S, on his return tf India,
his native country.
He is the most beloved man in all India, and his poems and song?
are of the people themselves. Born of an influential family, and
having a father who was a great leader and thinker. Sir Rabindranath
grew up in a cultured scholastic environment. And now, at a time
when half the world is at war, and there is suffering, and crime all
around, this man is devoting his time to the teaching of a 'ove for
humanity and the understanding of the human heart and .j1. He
received the Nobel prize for poetry in 1913, and his writing fairly
speak aloud with the personality and goodness of the man and the
spirit of India.
"The Cult of a New Nationalism," is the subject of the lecture
which he will deliver at the Oliver theatre, the evening of January 8.
Sir Rabindranath believes that nationalism is stressed too much today,
and results in such as the present war.
His theme is against this nationalism and urges the development
of a world humanism. This is his last visit to America.
Originally he was booked to be in Lincoln January 9, but because
of failing health, many of his engagements have been cancelled and
he is hastening to return to his home.
Sir Rabindranath Tpgore is one of the most powerful spiritual
figures in the world, and the only" chance that University students
will ever have to bear this gTeat man is on January 8. It is an oppor
tunity to listen to the most distinguished poet and philosopher of
tie age.
One more day, and you will be going home for your Christmas
vacation. There will be two weeks of rest and play two weeks to
forget the eight-o'clocks and midnight oil two weeks to forget the
faults of your roommate, and two weeks to spend with your relatives
and friends.
In all this time, do not miss every opportunity to boost your
University, to show your pride in your school. For you are going out
over the state, the individual representatives of this institution, and
one little word or deed when dropped into the pool of life may make
a big ripple.
THE DAYS GONE BY
Five Year Ago Today
Most of the laboratories on the cam
pus were to be open during Christmas
vacation for the use of those who
wished to make up back work.
Chancellor Avery had accepted an
invitation to act as toaatmaster at. the
annual dinner of the Nebraska State
Historical society and Territorial Pio
neer's association.
Two Year Ago Today
The freshman laws had a smoker at
the Lincoln hotel. The evening's enter
tainment consisted of card playing and
a talk by Dr. Maxey.
Herbert F. Scheibel, ex-'IO, of Cauip-
bell, Nebr., was married to Luella Lar
son, a freshman at the University of
Illinois.
The interclass debating board decid
ed upon the question, "Resolved, That
the Policy of President Wilson in Pre
venting the Sale of Munitions of War
is Justifiable," for debate between the
class teams.

FORUM
To tie Editor of The Daily Nebraskan :
"Where was the band last Wednes
day night?" is a question we have
heard often repeated about the cam
pus. Posters advertising the debate
announced the band as a part of the
program. But the band was conspic
uous by its absence. This was an in
tercollegiate contest. The debating
teams merit as much support and re
ceive as little recognition as any oth
er representatives of the Bchool. This
was the one inter-collegiate debate of
the year. Nebraska's unparalleled
record of victories was at stake. The
Jayhawk came determined to crown
the football victory with another tri-

umph over the Huskers. But where
was the band?
Some of the students have not for
gotten the urgent appeals to the Uni
versity public to help send the band
to Oregon. We appreciate the way
in which it represented the' Univer
sity on that trip. Doubtless the band
was an important factor in winning
the victory over the Aggies. But the
Kansas-NebraBka debate meant more
! than the game with the Oregon Ag
gies. The band appealed directly to
i "School Spirit" for support in secur
' ing the trip to the coast. Some of
the students are wondering why an or
ganization that had bo much "School
Spirit" and had the interests of the
University so much at heart could not
spare two hours time to support the
debating team.
It was a mid-week night, true
enough. But those who attended the
wrestling match Thursday night, an
event having no connection with the
University at all, noticed that some
of the band found it convenient to
play for that event. If the band ex
pects the continued support of the
students, the students have a right to
expect the support of the band, at
least In inter-collegiate contests.
Sincerely,
INTER-CLASS DEBATING BOARD.

NEBRASKA'S MUTEST NEED
Is this a university
Or just a bunch of colleges
Without a sense of unity?
Just like so many cabbages
Each on its own individual stem.
They are no good, beyond a doubt.
Until some grinder makes of them
One single batch of sauer kraut.
So it is in our U. of N.
Of unity we lack a lot.
The Comics and the Medic men
Don't mix together worth a jot.
There are the howling lawless laws.
Also the various Engineers
Whom the Horn Ec's don't like be
cause
They get so grimy 'round the ears.
There are the Pharmics and the Dents,
The Foresters and the Phys. Ed.'s
too,
And that complex of elements.
That heterogeneous "Who knows
Who,"
That makes the College of the Arts.
Where each department has Its club,
With each club broken into parts
That Jar and jangle when they rub.
We have all the ingredients
To make a school of power and
fame.
We've all the needed elements,
But seem to lack the fusing flame
That is required to make us one,
Behind the team whene'er they play.
Behind the school whate'er ig done,
One four-square University.
