AFTER THE WAR
An editorial writer in the New York
Evening Post prophesies some start
ling things in a rather convinc ing sort
of way. regarding the time when the
soldiers will come marching home.
Their experiences will have made them
independent, he asserts. Having been
relieved of obligations to the "tinker,
the tailor, the butcher, the baker, the
candlestick maker," long enough to
realize these are not necessities, the
soldiers, the writer says, will probably
seek primitive countries instead of
their homeland. He explains:
"The clerk, the mechanic, all the
great body of men who were employed
in city activities, have discovered that
they can live in the open without a
roof over their heads; that the plain
est kind of plain food in plenty, along
with all the fresh air in the world,
keeps them at the top notch of health;
and they have found that perfect
health and an absence of the worry
incident to making both ends meet on
the miserably small pay of civil life
make life worth living. The contrast
between the field life and the normal
peace-time existence is not as strong
with the farmer as with the city man,
but he too finds it agreeable on the
whole.
"I say agreeable. The probability is
that hardly any man in the trenches
would say, if he were asked, that he.
liked army life. But he does Just the
tame which is amply and frequently
demonstrated by men on furlough.
"They have learned to shoot. Thev
have overcome thc-ir horror of death.
Through the experience of many hand-to-hand
conflicts they have become re
sourceful, defensive fighters qualified
to take c are of themselves with savage
men or beasts. They have worn prac
tical, comfortable clothes until they
hate the sight of a tall collar. They
can cook. They can eat anything or
subsist on nearly nothing, for they
are as healthy and adjustable to con
ditions of feast or famine as the beasts
of the field."
Is a migration to remote, unexplored
regions improbable? Over a hundred
years ago French peasants, frightened
by vague rumors of bandits, learned
how to use the weapons of their time,
nd having learned, proceeded to revo
lutionize France. Will our soldiers,
having bagged democracy and present
ed it to the world, go on towards Africa
as Roosevelt did?
Or sick with the horror and suffer
ing of it all. will (Ley be thankfully
content to take up their work where
they left off before the war?
UNIVERSITY WOMEN MAY
. EARN ADMISSION TO W. A. A.
Those Who Have Places on
Tournament Teams to Be
Awarded Fifty Points .
That competitive basketball han
become a permanent feature in wom
en's athletics in the University is
evidenced by the recent announce
ment made by the department of
physical culture urging participation
by Women in all tournaments and of
fering as a reward for such activities
an award of r0 points in the women's
athletic association. Every girl that
has been a member of a secondary
team during the recent inter-sorority
tournament aud the Rainbow tourna
ment which is to be held February
23 will be allowed these .'0 points.
For those who are interested in
the sport enough to continue the
competition into the tryouts for the
class teams further .awards are given.
Those women chosen for the first
squad in class teams will be allowed
100 points i A. A. upon the
forfeiture of the original fifty points,
and those chosen for the second
souads on the class teams will be
riven 75 points to replace the 50.
It is pointed out meanwhile mat .
any one who succeeds in getting
points in the tournament may earn
the remaining fifty by hiking or en
gaging in the minor sports, swim
ming, spring soccer or baseball or
other means. After gaining the
requisite one hundred points in the
Woman's Athletic association, admis
sion is given, to that organization
and the person is then in a position
to work for her sweater.
February 23 bids well to reveal
some unusual talent in the line of
women's athletics and it is expected
that non-sorority women will be out
in full force for this event. The
Rainbow tournament like the sor
ority tournament' is a new feature
and is being initiated into the sched
ule of University athletics this year.
The two tournaments give ample op
portunity to every' woman in school
to display her ability in this depart
ment of athletics.

Board Confirms Basketball
Teams' Election of Jackson
Wrestling Leader Later
Merle Town send of Tecurnseh was
elected to lead the 191S Cornhusker
track team at a meeting of the ath
letic board Thursday afternoon.
Townsend is a springer and quarter
miler, having been a valuable mem
ber on Nebraska's relay teams last
year.
The new captain will probably be
one of the University's representa
tives in the 100-yard dash this year
as well as some of the longer dis
tances, as he showed speed last
spring which should make him a
valuable man. j
("able Jackson, who has bef-n act- j
ing captain of the lasketba)l team
during the early part of the season. I
was formally elected by the board
and will now assume full leadership)
of the squad. j

tion to be held soon.
