WORKING FOR EFFECTIVE ROOTING
No one fails to appreciate the bigness of the task that confronts
the Cornhusker football team when it tackles the stiffest schedule of
all times. But little has been said about the way Nebraska students
will share in bringing the success that the team hopes to win. What
are our prospects in rooting? Are we to watch the Huskers compete
on the gridiron with such teams as Minnesota, Notre Dame and Syra
cuse with the unorganized rooting, which has been such a deplorable
feature of student spirit in other years? Or are we to marshal from
thousands of student throats the good old Cornhusker yells and send
them across Nebraska field until the stands reverberate and the bat
tling gridsters catch the significance that legions of loyal supporters
on the sidelines- are fighting with the men on the field?
No one who was in the stands when Kansas played Nebraska in
1916 can forget how the famous "rock chalk" yell of K. U. swept
across Nebraska field, how it drowned and hushed the opposition, how
it fired the Jayhawk players to plant the winning touchdown behind
the goal posts. It was a glorious achievement that thos--e who wit
nessed will not soon forget. A wonderful yell, it is true, but how
useless it would have been had not every man and woman who yelled
it put the spirit of fight and determination into its ejection.
Soemhow Nebraska's rooting has never been successful. Fol
lowers' of the school realize and admit it. eagerly hoping that the situa
tion may some time be remedied. It is not the fault of the cheer
leaders. They might yell and persuade until their voices were horse,
they might shake their arms, and toss their megaphones and perform
gymnastic antics, but all to no avail unless students could realize that
all this was to draw from them the vocal expression of their spirit
which could show the football men that they, too. were in the fight.
The team must have something like this to stimulate it to a big
achievement.
We are promised this year an organized system among cheer
leaders who will try to get some organized rooting from students to
replace the hit and miss piping of a few hundred throats. These cheer
leaders' will attempt to direct the yelling from the student sections
into a mighty, concordant volume of cheering which will swell across
Nebraska field with a magnitude unknown before. There will be a
center of command and when "Altogether, now!" is given, it will be
altogether, and not a misdirected play of enthusiasm.
Every student in the university may know these yells, by heart.
Every cheerleader may be in perfect trim. But wouldn't it be ever so
much more effective, wouldin'nt we get ever so much more unison it .
we could all get together and try them out. A little practice to
strengthen our lungs and to overcome the temerity of yelling at the
ton of our voices might work wonders. We might at least try it. So
why not all get together some day, go out to the field, loam how to
work with the cheerleaders and get our voices in trim?
BUY A STUDENT TICKET
When the student football tickets go on sale this week, it should
require no urging for every student to buy one. The four dollars
which is spent for one will be more than repaid by actual enjoyment
If the games and by the satisfaction which will come from heng
Z put over a successful athletic season. An attracts horn . schedule
is offered. Every game is a big one and every game will require the
strongest backing of Cornhusker adherents if Nebraska is to win.
Purchasers of student tickets will have the privilege of Bating in the
student sections where college spirit will run rampant and add ."pice
to the battle. Failure to buy a student ticket is, in a sense, failure to
support the largest school activity.
WHY FLUNK AGAIN?
At the end ef every semester you have been at the University you
have sworn solemnly that never again would you let wort : pile up on
vou until it was necessary to work night and day for a week before fin
Ls to keepTrom flunking the course. You meant all right each time
you made such resolutions, but at the beginning of the next semester
oh well you just let things drift along, and the first you knew you were
oo'far behind you never could catch up, and the same old thing bap-
PenCYougare smart, and learn things easily, but it is just natural for you
to put off studying while you take a nap, or go downi town for a coke,
or attend the dance, and that has been the reason you have drawn poor
grades in the past.
You are starting a new semester now. This is the first week you
have had assignments, and the s-ame question is up for decision again.
You hadnt given it very much thought until you read in th i Kansan the
other day that ninety hours of A's, B's and C's were required for gradua
tion. It dawned Upon you then that it might be well to look up your
grades and find how you stand. You hope you haven't your full quota
of D's yet, but if you have well, it will help you to start that program
you've always intended to start of getting each day's lessons the day for
which they are assigned The Daily Kansan.
