THE DAILY NEBRASKA!
BTUDENT OPINION
To the Editor of the Dully Nebraska:
It Is probably true that the action
of the freshnian law class Monday
morning, following similar actlou in
the other law clapnets, declaring a telf
named holiday Tuesday In observation
of Aimlsticw day, U oneil to crl' lcism
and nmy demand disciplinary action.
It Ih equally true that no sltuetlou
where holidays can be declared at the
will imd wish of the student body,
could be tolerated. It la certainty
undesirable that the situation at Ssyra
cuse where students struck for a holi
day in observation of a football vic
tory, be repeated at Nebraska.
Those are not similar casts in any
respect. The college of law. as much
or more than any other one port too
of i Ik- student body is made up of
returned soldiers. A great many 01
them are returned service men who
saw action in Europe and to whom
November 11, 1918 means and wnl al
ways mean more than any other day
In their Individual lives. It is useless
to counter their arguments with state
ments that it is not a legal holiday.
The Nebraska state cupitol observes
it, the city officially observes it. the
business part of the nation is ob;serv-
in;, it, and soldiers, not excluding re
turned student soldiers, would like to
observe It.
It is a peculiar situation these ie
turned men who are now at the uni
versity face when the college authori
ties declare that these men shall not
ubM i ve liiis Cay as they wish These
letuined soldiers, who were placed
constantly on the defensive belore
ni:cen;;ii;vt.- of other colleges
while in Europe because ot the unplea
sant charges of un-American activity
in the limeisiiy of Nebraska, are
now told that they are forbidden by
that same iu.-titution which they are
so often forced to defend against dis
loyalty charges, to observe the dy ol
deliverance for them.
It seems no more than natural that
these same men, in the absence ol any
action by those in authority and with
full knowledge and representative
organizations had asked tor university
observance of November 11 and had
evidently been refused, should under
take to observe that day in any law
ful manner they see fit.
If the men who came out of the
mud and misery of France from pros
pects of almost certain death to
hopes of home and freedom anci iife
itself on that day, cannot have that
much freedom of decision, theii Nat
tie for democracy and liberty is in
deed a mockery and a hollow victory.
If such petty rulings can overcome
planned, constructive work and we
will soon raise our scholarship so high
that It will be used as an ideal stan
dard all over the country. E. L.

that it never lasts. Two French pu
