CORNHUSKER BANQUET
Another tradition is coming back. It is to be hoped that it will
remain with us. The Cornhusker banquet Is the only -get together
meeting" for all university men. It is a thoroughly enjoyable, highly
democratic event in the round of student affairs.
Last year the banquet was obtained through the efforts of inter
ested alumni, after it had been forbidden by school authorities, on
account of the "ungentlemanly conduct" of the men in former years.
The war has had a sobering influence on the men. Formerly they
reveled in the spirit that is nothing more than rowdyism, at such col
lege functions. This spirit reached its height two years ago at the
Cornhusker banquet. Last year was the tenting tithe when the men
proved to the school officials, their ability to conduct the banquet
along more orderly lines.
When the athletic authorities nsked for the banquet this year prae-.
tically no objection was raised against it. The result of another or
derly affair this year, will mean that the tradition is firmly reinstated.
AN INDUSTRIAL WAR ON THE PUBLIC
In every strike which affects public utilities there are three parties.
All three suffer injury, but the most immediate suffering conies upon
that innocent third party, the public. Yet it may not be quite right
to call the public innocent, because it is the fault of the people of the
country that such strikes are not made impossible.
In dealing, or rather, not dealing, with this matter, the people
simply neglect to urge into proper action congress and the legislature of
the states. They seem to go on the principle of the lazy man who
would not mend the leak in his roor in fine weather because it didn't
bother him then, nor in stormy weather because he hoped it would
clear up soon.
Two things 'are needed to make such discomfort, annoyance, and
danger as the traveling public around New York endured in the harbor
strike impossible. One is a law forbidding under penalties employees
of industries from engaging in strikes affecting the health, comfort,
and freedom of action of citizens. Hut if such a law is enacted, as
it should be, it is a necessary and obvious corollary that another law
should not only provide a just method of arbitration and conciliation
for such disputes, but should make it compulsory. Nearly all impar
tial students of industrial problems agree as to this, but it seems im
possible to get the plan on the statute-books.
There is a conciliation board under federal law, but it does not
afford a complete and sure remedy. The war labor boird has special
jurisdiction as a war measure over many industrial dispute; but as
shown in this instance, it cannot always prevent an almost unen
durable attack on the rights of the public to travel, to have its food
supply brought "to its great cities, and to have its business free from
interruption while employers and employees quarrel. The Outlook.
HAND GRENADES
IS CLEVERNESS A VIRTUE?
"He good, sweet maid, and let who
will be' clever" so said Kingsley, and
wisely did he say so.
Once upon a time you wrote a theme
which the professor said was clever.
Many times had you written themes
which neither the professor nor any
one else said were clever, but this one
time, the professor said it was clever
in fact, so clever t hat he announced
as much to the class, and as proof
thereof, read the theme.
For one so lowly as you to write a
clever theme was so astounding that
you awoke from your usual class rev
erie to find yourself famous. Your
contemporaries regarded you as a
hitherto unappreciated genius in their
midst. To them, you embodied all of
the qualities of a Miss Mark Twain,
or a Georgia Ade. Even I. Cobb had
nothing on you.
All of v,hich was very pleasant.
