ON REVIVING CORNHUSKER SPIRIT
Nebraska is still found wanting in the spontaneous enthusiasm
and warmth for her athletic teams, that is demonstrated in some of
the smaller iol e:cs of the state, and in some of the larger Institu
tions of the :.:::d!e west. Our cheering at the basketball games is
spasmodic smi lr:.u,d. The eheer-h aders are not accorded the ready
support that tiny are at Kansas and other colleges in the Valley.
We believe that the proper spirit is present in Nebraska students, but
that it is lying dormant and silent, and that some stimulant is needed
to arouse the smoldering fires.
As a possible remedy for the situation, we suggest that students
encourage and support the work that is being carried on by the "N"
club committee, in the drive for new yells. Students in the university
who have talent in the compositon of yells and songs, are asked to
come forward with suggestions or new ideas that they may have. It
would be of value to investigate the yells of other great universities
of the oast and west; not to imitate the productions of other schools,
but perhaps to model and pattern new creaiions after some of the
best that are found at other institutions.
When the committee makes its report to the student body, and
after the students have ratified the judgment of th committee as to
the best yells, it will then be necessary to hold regular "varsity con
vocations" to practice giving the yells. At the University of Kansas
the students gather at the beginning of each year to rehearse the
famous "rock ch:;"k " This one great slogan does more than any
other single f..r-, lo unite the spirit of all the students at K. U.
The yell is the foundation of all Jayhawker loyalty. The "rock chalk"
IS Kansas.
If the "X" club committee is successful in discovering some great
new yell for Nebraska, a big advance will have been made towards
the end of arousing Cornhusker spirit. This is not the final solution
of the problem, but we believe that it will prove more efficacious than
any other single plan that can be suggested. The editor welcomes
the interest tha.t any student may take in the matter, and asks that
suggestions on "how to revive Nebraska spirit,, be mailed to The Daily
Xebraskan. We will he glad to print such matter in our columns, in
the hope that it will aid in the solution of our problem.
THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
' The American University is a coffee mill; young men and women
are dumped into it. some one spins me nanuw ai.u uui uir n i.vmC,
p-nno- all iust the same: little grains the
111 lAlti U'f I I1CJ , iuuiiiuuuinj o t - -
same sine, the same color, the same smell."
This quotation from a modern author cf some reputation repre
sents a modified, if not an entirely new attitude, toward the American
College.
Today those who prefer charges against college training have to
a great extent abandoned the arguments which so long provided the
favorite ground for objection. This remark hounds a note of criticism
which has been caught up by those who depreciate the value of a
higher education and find in this indictment a popular expression of
their disapproval.
Granted that the American university is a mill into that mill is
dumped in heterogeneous confusion thousands of young men (and
women), differing as to race, creeds, home influences, social position,
habits of life, habits of thought, and inherited advantages. They un
dergo a milling process which knocks off the rough corners of provin
cialism and grinds to small bits many long-cherished right sand privi
leges. They no longer find themselves the centers of little solar sys
tems but discover that they in company with multitudes of others re
volve around great interests upon which the attention of all is
focused. "Individuality gone?" Well, perhaps, but what a tre
mendous social gain! "Little grains the same size, the same color,
the same smell?" But what a chaos of thought and action wuold
result from a differentiation based upon individual fancy and caprice!
Put students together for four years under the influence of college
traditions and it would be strange indeed if a certain uniformity of
attitude i.bd Libit of thought did not develop That is as true of the
community or the nation as it is of the college and as a mere obser
vation is valueless ODe thing alone concerns us: Is the attitude
wh'ch the college group develops magnanimous or petty? Is its habit
of thought v.lolesome and healthy or is it malicious and venegeful?
Is its conduct fa'r and above board or is it deceitful? If the ideals
are high nothing could be belter than the collegiate body be permeated
Tith so desirable a leaven. If the ideals are objectionable, what folly
it is then to lament the fact that they are emulated! Rather stnve
for tfcfir correction and improvement and the very tendency which
it in .la-iued makes for monotonous sameness will lirt the American
collegian to a higher plane of living and thinking.-The Co.gate
Maroon.

SEMESTER ELECTION
COMING NEXT WEEK
(t'tuitltnu il from I'iigi' Olir)
be divided between the class presidency
and the Cornhusker offices which will
be filled by second year men. The
junior managing editor and the busi
ness manager of the Cornhusker for
next year are both elected from the
sophomore class. Jess Patty ,ot
Omaha is the first to declare his in
tentions of corraling the class honors.
George Newton, of Red Field, Iowa,
will probably enter the race for man
aging editor, and Frank Patty ot
Fonda at p.escnt has a clear field in
which to launch a campaign for busi
ness manager.
Rivalry in the freshman class will
be intensified by the entrance of a
co-ed into the field. Miss Sheldon is
tho first to appear definitely, although
two other factions, one headed by
j Kenneth Hawkins, and another by
iHany Stephens, have made a stir in
the direction of the president's job.

pose of carrying medical suplies and
small arms ammunition to the soreiy

to wreck that ship after the mission
was fulfilled. As a master of fact the
mission was never carried out because
while he was on his way down he re

too late. The Germans had surren
