CORNELLIAN FANATICISM
In Friday's issue of the Daily Nebraskan we published an
editorial from the "Cornell Daily Sun," expressing the opinion of the
editor of that paper, regarding the wearing of the , United States
uniform about the college campus. We are compelled to take issue
with the afore mentioned editor, and to condemn in the ' most em
phatic language, the thoroughly ridiculous attitude taken by him on
the matter. Drawing our conclusions from the lengthy promulgation
of such fantastic notions as those entertained by the Cornell editor,
we should say that he must be a reactionist of the most violent type,
and that his ideas are to be classed with those of the "peace at any
price" pacifist of April, 1917.
Here on the campus of the University of Nebraska, we have a
high respect for the uniform of the United States army and navy.
No one at NEBRASKA, dares to hint at such preposterous ideas as
are set forth by the Cornell editor. Men who have returned from
service in the army and navy, are certainly entitled to wear their
regulation dress as long as they may desire. Subject to the decrees
of War Department rulings, they are free to wear the uniform ac
cording to their own. wishes.
After six months or so have passed, (probably in less time),
ex-soldiers will have become so accustomed to civilian habits again,
ttiaf they will not care to wear the uniform. The present, then, is
the only opportunity they will have to derive the satisfaction of ap
pearing in their uniforms.
Again, many of the ex-S. A. T. C. boys do not have the means
for purchasing new clothes. Many came to the University with the
expectation of having all expenses paid by the Government Then
upon the unexpected conclusion of the war, and the abandonment of
Training Corps, they were thrown upon their own resources. Many
are waiting table and doing other odd jobs to work their way for
the remainder of the year. Can the Cornell editor sarcastically sug
gest to these men that "the tailors axe not too busy?" He emphatical
ly could not do so at Nebraska, and, "get away with it"
A "DUSTY" RHODES MEMORIAL
The University of Nebraska responds with quick sympathy to
the proposal of the "N" club, that a memorial be erected at Ne
braska which shall forever bear the name of "Dusty" Rhodes. A
more worth-while movement has not been started on the campus this
year, and now that someone has advanced the idea, it remains for us
to foster it. and carry it to realization. Perhaps, as suggested, the
new gymnasium or the new athletic field, both of which we are fairly
certain to have in the next three years, may be given the name of
this great Cornhusker. v
It would doubtless be far more fitting to do this than to merely
set aside a tablet of some kind. The former would always stand
before us in its significance. And as Kansas has her McCook field,
and Pennsylvania, her Franklin field, Nebraska will have her Rhodes
field. The student body can be counted upon to give it ready
support in any action that may be taken on the matter by. the "N"
club.
AT BELLEAU WOOD
The only secret of good writing is always to have something to
say. Brigadier General Catlin, in his book "With the Help of God
and a Few Marines," tells in vivid fashion just what it was that
happened at Belleau Wood in the first week of last June that helped
to change the whole color of the world's most critical summer. A
sure instinct taught the general to tell his tale in Just the way that
hurries the reader on from page to page like a mountain brook.
It, would not be fair to our allies to persuade ourselves that such
an action as that of Belleau Wood, where 2,000 marines were en
gaged, was unique in gallantry or significance. The British, French,
Belgians, and Italians have fought hundreds such to our dozen. Yet,
when modesty has had its say, fact remains: it was an attack , of
superb heroism at the crucial moment
General Catlin does not attempt to poetize it He tells with
engaging candor that his last wrd to the marines before they
crossed the wheat fields under a willicring fire was "Give 'era hell,
boys:" He adds: "Some one has reported that they advanced on
those woods crying 'Remember the Lusitania!' If they did so, I
failed to hear it Somehow that doesn't sound like the sort of thing
the marinesays under the conditions." We are glad that he tells
us what they did say. When the lines wavered under the German
fire, a sergeant cried out: "Come on, yoa , do you
want io live forever?" Collier's.

STUDENT OPINION
Dear "Lonely Student":
I wish you and 1 might sit down
somewhere and have a heart-to-heart
talk about the long-comings and short
coming of Nebraska. Do I know how
you feel about it? Don't I Just. Going
to a football game all by yourself; go
ing to mixers with a bunch of girls
and sitting on the top shelf of the
bleachers like birds on a limb; walk
ing down the street behind a Jolly
group and wishing you belonged to it ;
going to a girl's party with a friend
and enjoying her exclusive compan
ionship all afternoon it's real and it
hurts. I know because I've been there.
But listen, Lonely Student, you don't
have to stay there. I know that by
experience, too.
You see. this is such a whopping big
university that we can't possibly all
get acquainted with everybody. So
we Just naturally fall Into groups ac
cording to our particular Interests.
Some of us like athletics basket
ball; swimming or tennis not Just go
ing and looking on, but actually tak
ing part. Do you know about the W.
A. A.? Wander Into the gym some
time and ask how you can join it.
If you do not care for sports ana
games, there are other things to like.
There is the Y. W. C. A., with vespers
every week, business meeting once a
month and no end of interesting
things In between. Did you hear Miss
Burner last week? You won't get ac
quainted with everybody the first time
you go, but you can mee Miss Drake
the first time. And if. after going
regularly from now until vacation, you
aren't wildly interested in something
or other, you aren't the booster I think
you are.
Did you ev?r consider your "lab."
work an asset? I think people can get
acquainted more quickly by working
toegther In a laboratory than in any
other way. Here are a few other free-for-all
interests: The W. S. G. A., the
Camp-Fire Girls, your own church.
Youll find it a great deal better to be
vitally interested in one single thing
than half-heartedly interested in a
great many. But something needs
boosting all the time.. Watch the
"Rag" and youll see.
Nebraska Isn't such a snobbish
place. Plenty of girls have won hon
ors and made friends here with noth
ing at all but two eyes, two hands,
and a nimble brain. After alL that's
what democracy means simply a
chance to express oneself.
And if Nebraska is perfectly snob
bish and undemocratic, who Is going
to change it? The Snobs? How can
they?
No, Lonely Student. It's you and I
and all the other folks who know what
loneliness is, who have got to pitch in
and make it impossible for other new
students to have the same experience.
If Nebraska is not just what it should
and can be. it's up to us to find out
what is wrong and what will make it
right. New conditions will come just
works for and demands them. With a
as soon as the great student body
whole big school to love and work tor,
little things like money and family
and social connections sink into insig
nificance. They simply don't exist so
far as school spirit Is concerned.
Yourg truly. A CORNHUSKER.
