Entered at he postoffice at Lincoln. Nebraska, as second-class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
The UniTersity of Nebraska has totaled $1,000 up to date. In the
first two days of the United War Work campaign. Her goal is $25,000.
There are but three days left in which to reach this goal. That
means that four-fifths of the quota is yet to be subscribed.
The committees report that the S. N. T. C. men. who have been
canvassed, have contributed almost one hundred per cent of the sum
promised. The S. A- T. C. men have not yet been approached. The
girls, however, have been approached and it is their subscriptions
that have not been up to the former standard of University contribu
tions to war work. It Is from the girls that the most of the amount
should be given. Men who are not in the S. A. T. C. or the S. N. T. C.
are in the minority in the college, and if the girls do not rally to the
support of this drive it must mean that the greatest part of the
quota will have to be donated by men who have already given most
of their school time, and their school life, their greaiest energy, and.
who have at least deferred their own cherished plans and ambitions
to the cause for which this fund is being raised that of Reconstruc
tion. . ...
If we are to fulfill the task that has been set out for U3 in this
campaign it will mean that each student on the campus gives ten
dollars. Some cannot afford to give that much, which necessitates
that oihers who can afford it, give more than ten dollars to make up
the defic:'L
Last year in the Red Triangle drive many gave as much as th r
are giving now to this fund which includes not only the Y. M. C. A.
Red Triangle. out six other organizations as well that are doing fully
as important and as efficient war work.
If the committees are doing their best and if the students stand
behind this drive as they always have formerly, by giving not what
they can conveniently, but by giving so generously as to cause then
selves sacrifice and Inconvenience, the quota win be raised and more.
That is the only means by which the quota can be filled.
Are we stlil a college of patriots or have we deserted In a crisis?
Probably no other phase of campus life has suffered je
that which is knowa as "school activities," since the outbreak of tbr
war. There have been substituted in its place "war activities." aid
all the other demands on time that arise through unusual, unsettled
times, which have crowded out many of the customary expression
of school life.
Although school activities are looked upon by some a tho?
-things outside" which distract the mind from the more serious and
important fields of modern education, they are still necessary to the
success of co-educational, eoe sectarian college.
There 5s no little amount of knowledge and experience to be
gained from school activities. They afford a contrast and a relaxa
tion from "study." and permit the student to put into practk some of
the ideals and 'plans that havj been conceived through his .nerval
training. Besides these things they offer a means of making friends
and acquaintance and of meeting each other on a difltrem jrronnd
than that of the class-room. There are almost as many kinds and va
rieties of school activities as there are courses of study in it be college
cirriculum.
Since the time of the men on the campus is largely taken ap with
military activities a greater chance for this form of -hrxl 5 s offer!
to tie girls, and It is for them to keep up a lively interest in tnet
affairs if the University 5s to be a well-rounded, up-io-date institution.
POILU
(Stewart M. Emery in Stare and Stripes)
You're a funny follow, poCa, in your dinky little cap
And your war-worn, faded uniform of blue
With your mnltilade of haversacks abulge from heel to Bap

You were made for love and laughter, for good wine and merry son.
Now your sunlit world has sadly gone astray.
And the road today you travel stretches rough and red and fc-r.g.
Yet you make it. petit eoldat. brave and gay.
Though you live within the shadow, fagged and hutgry half ti while.
And your day and nights are racking in the line.
There Is nothing under heaven that can take away your smile.
Oh so wistful and so patient and o I te.
Yon are tender as a woman with the tiny ones to ro d
To upraise their lip and for your kisses poet,
S J11, we d hate to have to face you when the bugle wm-aKi? kad
And your slim, sneel sweetheart Rosalie is .!
You're devoted to mustache whkn yo twirl wb such aa air

And quite cSen you are noticed :n a beard that's tali t.t ia:r.
But that heart cf yc-crs is always twenty-cue.
