THE VACATION CALL
About this time of the year, when everyone is getting tired of
classes and studying, the call of vacation time is heard above the
voice of the professor, and the word is written across the leaves of the
textbook. The hunger for a change, the old homesickness, rise again
in one; and the scent of the country air, or even of Main street, fills
the nostrils. And stronger even than that, is the odor from the kitchen
at home. ,.,,.
Now is the time to exhort the student public to redouble labor
over books, to study far into the night and early into the morning for
those final examinations that are upon us. Buckle to your tasks, stu
dents, and end the year with flying colors. But the nights are cool,
inviting sleep, and the morning is all shiny with the early sun, and the
birds have already struck up their matins.
After all. the two weeks left are short enough time to spend with
friends, to make them forget your crabbiness. Why study too hard?
Everybody's going to war to get shot and killed before next September,
anyway.
Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Welch of Omaha
were in Lincoln Sunday visiting their
daughter, Ruth Welch, '19.
Ruth Sanford, '16, of Omaha, and
Gladys Wild, '16, of Wilbur, are visit
ing this week at the Alpha Delta IM
house.
VIGOROUS AND MANLY,"
IS IDEAL MAN
REGISTERING FOR DRAFT
University men should become familiar with the ruU-s for register
ing for the draft. Every man between 21 and 31 must register. Stu
dents who vote in Lincoln should register in their precinct in this city.
Students who vote out of town should get registration blanks from
tho city clerk at the Lincoln city hall, and mail the cards, filled out,
to their home precinct so that they will reach their before June 5, the
draft day. The card should be accompanied by a stamped, addressed
envelope, for the return of the certificate of registration.
The response of the University to the appeal made by the Red
Cross was splendid. The University has also been contributing gener
ously to the fund for the French war orphans. Now comes the Y. M.
C. A., with a cause fully as worthy as these two, making an appeal
equally as strong to the patriotism of the students. The University
should be as ready with its gifts.
Those Harvard boys who framed the
virtuous code of morals for the Ideal
Girl and all the contributors to the sad
but recent I. G. contest held by our
contemporary, the Smokestack, have
nothing on the versatile and enterpris
ing rosy cheeked ones that frequent
the classic halls and walls of the Uni
versity of Cincinnati.
The Clncy women have come back
strong, with a chilled steel, razor
edged set of commandments for the
Ideal Man. They, very cautionsly, do
not specify whether his hair shall be
light or Francis X. Bushmanlike, nor
do they trifle with any other per son
alities. The Queen City girls, how
ever, are very strong for the Galahad
type. Their one best bet must be "ath
letic" and "vigorous and physically
manly," but they take pains to point
out his mental and moral essentials.
How do you measure up with this
inventory, Mr. Oberlin Man?
"He is vigorous and manly, physi
cally, and careful of the details of his
appearance.
"He has a sense of humor.
"He is courteous to every one.
"He is thoughtful of other people.
"He is tactful.
"His education is sufficiently broad
to enable him to appreciate the finer
things of culture.
"He enjoys sports.
"He can appreciate the fireside.
"He is ambitious for worth-while
things. He has an aim in life.
"He has religious faith.
"He has courage, strength of pur
pose and self-control." Purdue E

"Don't Care" Attitude
American patriotism contains an ele
ment of superficiality that is discourag
ing to say the least. More than fifty
years aco Thilip Nolan 6houted:
"Damn the United States. I wish
I may never heard of the United
States again." The Harvard Crimson
says; "today, as in the days of the
Civil War, this sore of blasphemy is
scarce, yet a new feeling has come
into vogue, quite as dangerous as that
of the 'man without a country,' and
far more widespread." and then con
tinues: "It is the "don't care' attitude of
the citizen who has never bothered to
learn the national anthem, who looks
on the flag merely as a holiday ban
ner. Last Saturday the men In the
Boston crowds who uncovered as the
colors passed were exceptional. Hard
ly a voice was raised in protest
8gainst the hundreds who did not.
Stupidily good natured and lackadais
ical, they were there to see the glit
ter and color, to hear the bands play,
and, quite naturally, to stare at Mar
shal Joffre. And In the midst of all
the spirit of celebration, to the thou
sands who lined the streets the flag
seemed to have no particular signifl
cance.
"Many of the American people to
day have not yet waked up to the
real meaning of the flag. For nearly
half a century we have rested In
comparative ease and luxury. Save
for the brief campaigns of the Span
ish War, the colors have been osed
largely as part of the bright dress
of holiday rejoicings, of national an
niversaries. They have not, in the
thoughts of the present generation
been closely associated with the blood
and prime of battlefields, with the
sort of self-sacrifice of which a man
offers the bst that he has his life.
"But this sleeply forgetfulness most
stop. If we are to enter the fight a
nation united In one cause we must
be conscious of the traditions of the
flag, of the battles of the Revolution
and the Civil War. which made the
United States 'safe' until today, 'for
democracy.' We must look up to the
flag once more as the standard of our
forefathers, as the symbol or the Ideals
which we, as a democratic nation,
Btand ready to defend." Ex.
Co-Ed War Service
We have been hearing much about
what the men are doing in the way of
preparation for war, but comparatively
little about what the co-eds are doing.
Quite a number of the men have al
ready enlisted for active service, al
most all of the men are taking part In
Fome form of military drill, while a
treat many who are unable to enlist In
the service are preparing to go to the
farms and assist In enlarging the food
production for this year.
Naturally, the first and lmemdiate
duty would Involve the men. The time
has not arrived when the women will
play as important a part in the strug
gle as the men. As man after man
leaves for the training camps some
one must take his place. Not only
must these positions be filled, but a
great amount of work must be done
in additio nto the regular work in time
of peace. The number of men avail
able will be insufficient. The women
must step to the front. Here in our
own university there is a great amount
of work to be done. While we are
hoping that the war will be over before
the beginning of school next year, we
cannot lay our plans upon this assump
tion. The University of Pittsburg
must go on as before. If it is neces
sary the authorities stand ready to
give all our buildings and equipment
to the government for whatever ser
vice they see fit.
