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.

LEASED WIRE FOOTBALL
PARTY AT ARMORY SATURDAY
(Continued from page one)
Because the team will be playing
the hardest game of the season and

lieu of their actual presence on the
field. The varsity pep directors will
be out to lead the cheering.

board a charge of 10 cents will be
made on the party tickets. All profits
will be turned over to Red cross.

cago and the party will reach Lincoln
at about S o'clock Monday morning.
, A car for business men will be added
to the regular train at Omaha. 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.

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
