HOMECOMING DAY
The homecoming day of 1919 is to be a big one in many ways.
It is the university's day of welcome to alumni, it is the day when
Nebraska and Kansas clash In their annual gridiron fray and the
freshmen and sophomores contend in the Olympics for class suprem-
8Cy'The entire program has been centered about the alumni and
the events of the day have been planned for their entertainment.
Former Btudents probably have not forgotten the Olympics of their
own school days and they will be treated to a thrilling fight Satur
day morning when members of the two lower classes oppose each
other at M street park. The football game Saturday afternoon will
give them a chance to assist once more In helping to drown out the
Jayhawk and root for a Cornhusker victory. An all-university party
in honor of visiting alumni will close the entertainment of the day.
Itl was impossible for the University to celebrate a homecoming
day last year for the school was a military camp and football games
were the exception rather than the rule. For this reason, the pres
ent generation of Cornhuskers may have forgotten that it is the'r
duty to entertain the old grads and make them feel that the Uni
versity is glad to have them back. Friday and Saturday have been
named "Hello" days and everyone is urged to forget formality just
for a day or so and make the visitors feel at home. Whatever
students do, they must remember that they are hosts acting in
behalf of the University.
SOCIAL LIFE ESSENTIAL
Are there many students who ever stop and think about how
much they are getting out of their school life? Or do they realize
whether or not they are getting the best out of it? Some students
spend most of their time enjoying themselves, others study so much
they have no time for recreation, but few are able to divide their
time evenly between work and pleasure. One is not well educated
if all his knowledge is obtained from these sources alone. He must
learn to know people, to be able to mingle with them and enjay
their society. If he cannot do this' he will never get along in the
world without great effort. To know people he must educate him
self to enjoy the same thongs that they do and the University is an
easy place to acquire this accomplishment.
STUDENT OPINION
To the Editor of the Daily Nebras
kan Will former students and alum
ni who return to Lincoln for the Kansas-Nebraska
game Saturday, inquire
as to what has happened to the old
Cornhusker spirit? Will they hark
back to the days when they were on
the campus, perhaps only two or three
years ago, and wonder if their school
has lost its fighting spirit? Surely
such a condition would be unwished
lor by those students in school today
who are responsible for the continua
tion of the Cornhusker spirit.
Older members of the Cornhusker
family, now on the campus, rather fear
that the new generation of both lead
ers and followers has fallen uown.
The united spirit and enthusiasm
which formerly won games for Ne
braska does not exist. Men and wo
men of the university today need only
to look back to the year 1916, when
school spirit ran so high that students
raised money to send the cadet band
to Portland with a special train, for
the battle with the Oregon Aggies.
'Ihf victory 'here, against odi's and
t.fu-r a long hard trip; the spirit of
the band, were typical of the real
Cornhusker spirit and were comment
ed upon throughout the entire west
v Nebraska alumni.
Some students will remembei the
tinmnmine days when enthusiasm
ran so high that Nebraska rooters
prepared large ears of corn to be
QrHl in the parade anu prepare-u
dead Jayhawks to symbolize the de
feat of the Vsker's southern rival.
Then there was the time when tne
students paraded the field with the
symbolical "goat" of their opponents.
Those were the days in whicn the
band and every rooter came tj the
rescue at the slightest nod from the
cheer leaders, when the team was in
f Annrmrnrement. Th'e were
the days in which Nebraska won
game after game without a loss.
Where is that spirit today?
Contrast that spirit with that of to
day when the students cheer in a list
less half-hearted sort of manner; Alien
they are not willing to follow the
commands of the cheer-leaders even
more listless at times than the stud
ents. There are not features planned
for the game! There is noring
new! Nothing is done except that
which can be copied from former
years without effort!
There are organizations in school
whose duty it is to see that the stud
ent enthusiasm is built up; that vere
are unusual features which will
awaken the rooters from their naps
and that there are cheer leaders who
have the co-operation of the students
and are live enough to be followed in
stead of following. What are .hese
organizations doing?
If some improvement has not been
planned for tomorrow, in the name of
the spirit of days gone by, let there be
something done today.
