For This Issue
If the election Tuesday proved noth
ing else, it proved that every one In
the Uniersity this year Is alive to
avery activity and ready to fall in line
wherever there is good to be done. Es
pecially remarkable and commendable
is the spirit shown by the members of
the first-year class. A record of near
ly twice as many votes this year as in
any other year Is another proof that
the new students on the campus are
rapidly learning the ways of Univer
sity life and will fit perfectly into their
new environment.
Good feeling characterized the vig
orous electioneering and defeated can
didates have today forgotten the dif
ferences of yesteray and all arc
working for the good of their school as
all true Cornhuskers should. Elec
tion is over and all machines will
unite themselves to form one power-
While the tears shed over Harold
McMahon's departure to the Great
Lakes camp are still sparkling on the
cheeks of Cornhusker football en
thusiasts, comes the news that the
fleet halfback will return and again
don his football regalia in time to get
into action next Saturday against the
soldiers from Camp Funston. Head
Coach Kline received a wire from his
former pupil yesterday - morning
stating that Ihere had been a mistake
in his enlistment papers and that he
would be back in Lincoln Tuesday
evening. He hove in on schedule
time and is back in school today, on
active duty in the naval reserve.
McMahon said that his enlistment
papers had been sent into the office at
the Great Lakes with a bunch of oth
ers last summer and that his had not
been marked, that he was an under
graduate. When ie reported t oainp
headquarters he was asked what he
had been doing in Lincoln and when
he replied that he had been in school,
they told him that he belonged hack
at Nebraska, so back he came. Mac
said also that there were a bunch of
A FALSE REPORT
There has been a rumor quite pre
valent around the campus and city
that there was a shortage of blankets
and other bedding for the soldiers sta

sharply and vigorously denied at head
quarters and Captain Buck wants to
make it known that all bedding needed
and wanted is at hand.

Short-lived would be the insiduous

one took the attitude of Captain Mac

vocation Tuesday. "The German peace

(Continued from Page One)
STUDENTS' QUESTION ANSWERED
Every student has asked himself
many times the Important question,
"What must I get from the University
to make a success in life?" There
are those who say that Btudent activi
ties are the surest path and others
who claim that one goes to college to
earn from books and everything Inter
fering with such learning is danger
ous. There have been men in the
University who have been "grinds"
from the first day to the last and
have made miserable failures and
there have been who who have flunk
ed in nearly every department and
have succeeded in life. Oftentimes
these conditions and results are re
versed and a general rule has been
bard to find.
camp, although they are anxious to
get hack in the university.
Olcott Helped McMahon
Coach Olcott, former director at
Kansas university, 3s the civilian
coach at the jackie camp and McMa
hon gives him the credit of his return
to the Husker fold. Olcott went with
the Nebraska star to the commandant
and verified his statements as to his
having been in school here. He told
McMahon that if he figured in a Ne
braska victory over the Jayhawkers
November 16, that he, Olcott. would
be roasted by every loyal Kansan for
his part in McMahon's return, but that
he was glad to do it anyway.
Accusations False
The accusations which were circu
lated around Lincoln, that Olcott had
any part in McMahon's call in order
to weaken the Cornhuskers against
Kansas were branded by the return-
; ed halfback as groundless, for the ex-
Jayhawk could not have acted more
nobly in the matter.
Cornhuskers Sadly Crippled
The squad took the field yesterJay
minus a few of the stand-bj-s. Captain
Schellenberg is still on his back at
the Alpha Tau house, and the doctor
says that he cannot get out for prac
tice this week. Quarterback Lantz is '
sick at his home in Ravenna, Nebr,
and Dana, one of the promising line
candidates, was sent back to his home
at Fremont. Ross, the chubby guard
on the varsity, -was out with a bum
ankle, and a few others were kept
away on account of military drill.
Cypreanson Lost to Team
The old Lincoln high fullback.
"Zip" Cypreanson, who won a place
on the varsity end, is named in today's
list of men to be sent to an officers'
Here is Dean Engberg's advice:
"There are certain men who are ; training camp, and will leave the lat
grinds. They go to college Just to
learn by rote. They rank high in their
ter part of the week. Losses such as
will be assigned to duty as the menials
in some military cantonment. They
will have the rating of the poorest
private in the army. If the man floes
his work well while stationed here he
will leave with a rating of either good
or excellent. If his rating is excel
lent his way is practically paved to
an officers' camp and to active ser
vice." Dean Engberg gave the first-year
men a valuable discussion of the at
titude which should be taken toward
student activities. "The successful
man in life," he said, "is the man
who gets all he can from books In a
reasonable time and with reasonable
effort; who learns how to classify thii
knowledge and most important of all
how to apply it. The power to apply
knowledge gained from books can be"
obtained only from contact with our
fellow men. The knowledge of how to
use one's fellow men is just as im-1
portant as that knowledge gained from j
books. The man who is a grind and j
who shuts himself up with his books
for all time will never gain this
knowledge for success. '
"Mix in college activities; attend i
literary societies; don't bury your j
talent like a clam, but develop it j
through contact and schooling. Take
lime to think and each day correlate
the facts you have learned. Only the
man who succeeds in school can sue-;
ceed in the activities."
