Entered at the postoffice at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second-class mail matter under the act of Congress of March S. 1S79. Although the first University sing fest last Tuesday was arranged on such short notice that it could not be properly .advertised, those who were present enjoyed it so much that their reports of it will probably insure a chapel-full on the next occasion. Led by the chorus, the audience joined in singing popular and folk songs, ming ling them in delightful variety. The chorus furnished the necessary vol ume to hold the outburst in the proper swing and melody, while those down below just took big breaths and sang as lustily as they could. The result might not have been artistic, but it was enthusiastic and sincere, and it represented hearty co-operation. If future sing-fests can aid in inculcating in us these two characteristics of ideal community .life, spirit and sincerity, then let's have lots of them. As the sports writers are saying to day, "the jinx has appeared." Injuries have piled up still more odds against the chances Nebraska has to win from Michigan Saturday. But who is con ceding that the odds are insurmount able? Who really believes that the Cornhuskers, crippled as they are, do not have the power and fight to pul verize Michigan? Nebraskans saw the scarcely-revealed strength of the team against Notre Dame, and they know that no where in east or west is there a foe which has any decisive superiority over Nebraska. There may be stronger elevens, and Michi gan may be one, but we are sceptical Nebraska fight in the past has more than once made up for the disadvant ages of injuries and a foreign field, and who cares to try to conjecture the power of this year's team fighting at its fiercest? There is but one thing that we as students can do to help the team Sat urday. It will be a hard, bitter bat tle on them, and they will have to fight it on a strange field, alone. But we can crowd the chapel this morn ing and show them that we are not discouraged, that our confidence in them has not wavered, and that we will be fighting a winnfhg battle with them Hack here during the crucial hour next Saturday. the folks at home who are making it possible for you to attend college? Are you appreciative of the many good wishes and of the letters you re ceive from your friends as well as from your immediate family? There is away in which you may keep your parents and your friends informed as to what you are doing in college and just what your college is doing in many different lines of activities. They are interested in everything you do and in everything your college does. The way in which you may keep the folks at home informed of life in the college is this: Each week when you have finished reading The Orange and Black, do not toss it to one side, but put it to a still greater use. Make it reach more people and advertise your college at home by wrapping it up, placing a stamp on it and mailing it to mother, or to some friend who would be glad to get it. You may do good by doing this, and incidentally increase the interest on your invest ment. Your mother is still just as inter ested in her big boy or big girl as she was when she used to tuck the covers around you at night before she went to her bed. Do not forget her or for get dad in the happiness of your col lege life. Let them know you are contented and happy, and what you and your college are doing and they, too, will be happy. There may be some friend you would like to have come to this col lege next year. You may do wonders by helping him or her get acquainted with your college through the hol lege paper. Let them know the stu dents, the athletes and the college and they will soon have a pride in the college and begin to feel like it was their college, too; and then next year they will be easily persuaded to come here. Do this. Don't just think it a good idea and not do it. If you are not al ready putting this in practice, da it now. Don't let the papers go to wast -,, either; save them or let someone else derive a benefit from them. Black and .Orange. I , Executive Dean C. C. Engberg caused many a wrinkle of worry on student brows yesterday by his an nouncement that mid-semester exami nations would come next week in or der to permit those who apply for fur loughs during cornhusking to settle up the first half of their semester's work before they go. Why is it that we always feel better if we have been warned that the ordeal approaches at least a week or two before? It is pe culiar psychology. Few of us would do any more "brushing up" than we will have time to do before next week, and those who are so desperately in need of cramming that they require more time than is allowed would prob ably fall down in their examinations anyway, since the perseverance they have lacked in keeping up their work day by day will probably also be want ing when it comes to intensive survey. It seems that the human mind just naturally loves dread of a certain kind. Not surging, sickening, awful dread, but that light form of the feel ing which always gives us something to try to keep out of our minds, some thing to be drowned by concentration on other things. Like pain, which Hazlitt says is the only immortal feel ing, the only sensation of which we do not tire, dread, in this age of rustle and hustle, seems to be a desirable stimulant for our minds. THE FOLKS AT HOME Are you giving enough thought to WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? How much do you spend every week on cigarettes? How much was your chewing gum bill last month? How much do you squander . oa drinks for the boys per day? After which we hear you say: "Who wants to know?" Nobody; only don't you think that a little of your excess expenditures might just as well go to worthier pur-, poses? There are innumerable causes to which we are all being asked to sub scribe, some of them worthier than others. There are various relief funds, there is the Red Cross, there is the soldiers' aid and there is the fund for our own Illinois boys who are on the front lines in France. The women of the university have thus far shown a more patriotic in clination than the men. They have plunged wholeheartedly into the work of raising money for the different war funds. They have organized com mittees for the work, worked out plans for raising larger sums of money than through individual contributions and they are giving their time, their ener gies and their money to the allied cause. It's about time the men were com ing across. Of course, we have sent hundreds of actual servio?. bu: those of use who are still here can do con siderably more than we have done to aid the cause. We are having con stant opportunities to give donations to various funds. Some have accept ed the opportunity and some have not. Think it over. Have you done all that you can afford to do? Have you actually sacrificed anything, or have you just said "I can't afford to give anything" and let it go at that? You can afford to give and to give liberally. There is work to be done. Let's do our share! Daily Mini.

It is not known just how many of the Lin coln men will make the trip but it is supposed that nearly twenty will be in the party. Coach Stewart is not making any predictions as to the probable out come of the game but it is known that he fears the Wolverines more than he feared Notre Dame, which is some amount of fear. TWO PRESIDENTS NAME SEMESTER COMMITTEES (Continued from page one) Honey Wilson, colored caretaker of McCook, has the valley race all doped out to suit himself. He says the "Nebrsakans" and the "Oklahomas" will probably put up a good fight against his team, but he is backing the "K. U.'s" to clean up the valley this year. "Dem K. U.'s sho' do look good to me," remarked Honey, after watching Coach Olcott's men practice. Daily Kansan. Bonkemper. H. H. Kirsch, A. E. Her man and Mildred Lufkin. Athletic Committee H.
