NON
COMPOS
MENTIS
AN OPPORTUNITY LOST
University girls missed a signal opportunity to strike an effective
blow for the suflrage cause yesterday, when they failed to attend the
suffrage convocation. Their absence lent emphasis to the remarks of
one of the speakers that the men are to be congratulated for having
done so much in the way of giving suffrage to women, since they them
selves are so indifferent to the importance of the ballot, and show so
little unanimity in declaring they want it.
By a liberal estimate, there were 200 girls at the suffrage convoca
tion, less than a tenth Of the total number of co-eds in the University.
University men probably form their opinions of woman and her wants
from the University women. The obvious conclusion from the non
attendance at this suffrage rally is that the University women are not
interested enough in the cause to sacrifice a half-hour's time for it.
This is not an argument for suffrage, but it is an argument that a
large number of the Nebraska University girls have failed absolutely to
grasp the importance to them of this suffrage movement the import
ance to them and to the other half of the world, to them and to their
children.
The tendency will be to leap to the conclusion that the girls are so
interested in spring clothes at this time of the year, so lost in the
thought of the social triumphs that may be theirs in the next month,
that they have not had the time to give serious thought to this suffrage
movement, which is nothing less than a great humanitarian movement.
The danger is that this preoccupation will result in making the Univer
sity men as indifferent to the suffrage cause as the University women
are indifferent, and if one man in ten is the most the University women
can convince they want the ballot, it will not be in 191S that equal
suffrage is granted in Nebraska.
PROFESSOR FLiNG'S LECTURE
Again it is a pleasure to call attention to the lecture to be given by
Professor Fling in the Temple theatre at 11 this morning, on the recent
revolution in Russia. In this gTeat crisis of America's and the world's
history, it is a rare thing to have an opportunity to hear a man who can
speak with assurance on an event such as has taken place in Russia.
Students who do not have a class at 11 this morning cannot spend the
hour more profitably than by listening to this lecture.
CO-OPERATE WITH THE CADETS
With outdoor drill resumed, but the ground on the campus and
athletic field still so soft that the drill cannot be held there, the cadets
are forced to drill on the streets. Twelfth street is most easily avail
able to the military headquarters, and offers the best drill grounds be
cause there is less traffic upon it. Students who drive automobiles to
the campus should remember this fact, and not park their cars on
Twelfth street. Leave this place open to the cadets, and park that
car on R street. A little thoughtfulness hre will be a tremendous aid
to Commandant Parker and his cohorts.
A true friendship, like a delicate
porcelain, if broken, and though
mended with the greatest of care,
will forever bear the traces of the
misfortune.

On a beautiful green hillock, high
up in the clouds, there stands a
green mansion. The inhabitants are
vegetarians and are said to thrive
on grevn things in general. Within
the peaceful mansion there lives a
group of angels, who twang their
harps and sing "Our Reed of Life
Is Our Only Hope." In their more
jovial moments they hop and skip
about in frolicsome glee to the tune
of "Alpha Tau Omega, tra, la, la, la."
The fraternity dispensary is one
of the most unique and popular in
stitutions of any here abouts. The
"Balm for Bleeding Hearts," and the
"Sinner's Salve," are taken in large
quantities, by all of the brothers
at the same time in sympathy for
the afflicted one. The idea of shar
ing all burdens, is in this way, most
effectively accomplished.
The A. T. O.'s have a winning
way with them sometimes. But
this time, 't wasn't with them. It
was all just durned hard luck but
ask the Phi Psis for particulars, we
haven't time to delve into techni
calities now.
The fraternity colors are blue and
gold blue symbolic of their heavenly
home, and gold standing for the
golden crowns they will some-day
wear. Prof, l'hilo M. Buck is their
frater in urbe and Franklin Pittman,
the "wild man of the plains."
