ON ATTENDING CONVOCATION
A large number of university customs, traditions, and practices
have been thrown out of gear this year by the unprecedented condi
tions arising from the Great War. Among the usages that has suf
fered most, is the regular bi-weekly Convocation programs. During
the S. A. T. C. they were completely abandoned, and even with
the passing of four months, it has not been found possible to bring
them back to the old basis.
The daily Convocation program of the olden days, formed an
important part of the life of every student Each morning the entire
student body gathered in Memorial Hall for prayer, singing: and talks
by faculty members. Attendance was compulsory, and no one ever
thought of missing Convocation. With the passing of time, this
custom has passed into history, and students of the present genera
tion fail to appreciate the benefits they may receive from regular
attendance at Convocation. They are not required to attend, and as
a result, only the most widely advertised attractions command a rep
resentative audience.
All students should grasp the opportunity to hear Dr. Minakuchi
of Japan give his lecture this morning on "The Yellow Peril vs. The
White Peril." Dr. Minakuchi is probably one of the best Japanese
speakers of the day, and will enlighten his hearers upon this very
important question. We will have few opportunities during the re
mainder of the semester to hear really good things, so we should
take advantage of the excellent program for this morning. The
question is one that is of universal interest, and is of especial moment
to students who are studying economics, history, and other of the
social sciences.
WHERE ARE THE NEW YELLS f
Some time ago a committee was appointed, charged with the
duty of making an investigation for the purpose of securing several
new yells and songs for the University. We are most deficient in
this respect, and are far behind other colleges in the quality and
quantity of our Varsity slogans, anthems, etc Here lies a great field
for good, and we hope that the committee will show some vigorous
action in their work, and that they will let the student body know
how they are progressing.
It might be a good idea to tap the reservoir of student talent,
and offer some inducement to students to apply their skill in com
posing yells and songs. Students like to know what committees are
doing in the tasks that they have been assigned, and like to see re
sults. If their help Is desired they will be glad to give it
THE WEARING OF UNIFORMS
In is interesting to note the editorial comment of the "Cornel!
Sun" on the propriety of wearing uniforms after discharge. Contrary
to most people the "Sun" takes the attitude that ex-soldiers should
immediately revert to their civilian status. It is their belief that in
some inexplicable way the men are committing some socially-annihilating
breach of taste. That Is, men, no matter what they have
done, are to be prevented from the visible avowal that they had
placed themselves in the hands of the military authorities with the
willingness to serve whether they served in the trenches or in a
training camp. It is hard for us to see this lack of taste, and it is
correspondingly hard to understand the demand for shedding. It
would seem, that mhen men are given the permission of the govern
ment to wear their uniforms, it could be left to their own discretion
as to when to change to civilian clothing. Massachusetts "Tech."
WHY HE tOST HIS FRIENDS
He was not loyal to them.
He was suspicious of everybody.
He borrowed money from them.
He measured them by their ability to advance him.
He did not know the value of thoughtful ness in little things.
He seemed to forget that he who uses his friends loses them.
He was always saying mean things about them in their absence.
He was always Jealous of those who were more prosperous than
himself.
He never thought it worth while to spend time in keeping up his
friendships.
He never learned that implicit generous trust is the very founda
tion 6tone of friendship.
He never threw the doors of his heart wide open to people, or
took them into his confidence.
He was always wounding their feelings, making sarcastic or
funny remarks at their expense.
He did not realize that friendship will not thrive on sentiment
aluue; that mere must be service to nourish it.
He was always ready to receive assistance from them, but always
too busy or too stingy to assist them in their time of need.
He used his friends in all sorts of ways and for his own ends,
and never hesitated to sacrifice their reputation for his own a
vantae. Orison Sweet Marden, in the New Success.

STUDENT OPINION
1
Student Opinion:
Permit me to say that I am wholly
In sympathy with "Lonely Student,
who has had the nerve to express the
sentiment of a great portion of the
students of the University of Nebras
ka. She certainly hns the right Idea,
but I do not believe that she has gone
for enough to see it In Its final analy
sis.
If we read the letter of Prof. H. B
Alexander we will see what the real
trouble is. For he, however unwitting
ly, has suggested the real cause for
the present conditions. He states
that university society Is something
that ought to be worked out by the
students themselves. In this respect
he is perhaps wrong, but granting that
he is right, the Executive Denn and
other university authorities seem to
somewhat retard the efforts of the
students In working this matter out
for themselves. Why do we say this?
Let us look at the facts.
The results of the efforts of univer
sity authorities in a social direction
nre best recorded In the society col
tunns of the Daily Nebraskan. There
we will see some twenty or twenty
five social events for the coming week
and to but one of these (the Junior
Prom) will a "Barb" be admitted. Last
fall the university authorities tried to
take the life out of subscription dances
by pledging fraternity men and soror
ity women not to attend such dances.
To the events scheduled in the social
column the "Barbs" can't go, to the
subscription dance the "Frats" can't
go.
ixmeiy ktuaent, i trunk, reels a
trifle hurt by some social rebuff she
has experienced in trying to break
the fraternity society. This crust
owes its existence chiefly to univer-
ssity authorities. Thanks to university
authorities the line of distinction is
drawn. Class distinction nrosDers.
