For This Issue
The thrift campaign is on with a vengance and every Nebraska girl
is asked to help in all possible ways. The problem of the high cost
of living is a serious one and is worthy of much consideration. The
fact that girls have been appointed to make talks on this subject in all
the sorority and boarding houses, before the various girls' organiza
tions and at mass meetings shows a vigilant program, and no one will
escape comment and suggestions. There will be arguments on both
sides of the question and much interest is expected. At least, we hope
that Nebraska "co-eds" will realize the Importance of the campaign
and enter into it enthusiastically. The ultimate result will be to pre
vent strikes, bring down the cost of necessary and staple articles and
to develop a less expensive taste in college girls. Watch the progress
of the campaign and see whether it ;s going to affect you.
The Cornhusker staff has repeatedly called for more pictures and
snap-shots to make up the student-life section. Have you paid any
attention to this call, or did you just pass It by as not being of inter
est to you?? The Cornhusker is not the staff's book, not the edi
tor's it is yours, published of, for and by you the student body of
the University of Nebraska, If it is to be a lasting remembrance of
your college life, it should contain all sorls of things which will stand
Tor those memorable days. Snap-shots are a very important feature
in a successful yea.-book, and it is up to you to make it that. Tring
in a snap of the cnmi' last summer, of "her and him," of probation
stunts, anything that is rcpresentat've of campus life here.
The staff desides to make the Student-life and Humor sections of
the 1920 Cornhusker the big ntiiiif i on. If you have a humorous poem,
a good joke on your room-mate, a class-room "boner," send them
or take them to the ediK-r . f thai section immediately. Do your bit
for this Cornhusker- iii;.-nil r tli'H you arf- to read it and treasure
it ten or twenty years from now.
We have about lost all our faith in Ground-Hog Day' Here we
had counted on being able to have lovely weather as an excuse for
spring-fever, but said fine weather has certainly not been forthcoming.
It looks as though we had better study now, for the real spring days
will be even more enticing than ever. Had you figured it out that
way?
IMITATION AND
All men are imitators. They are the copyists of the men of preced
ing ages, and seldom indeed, are they originators of thought or of
actions. This is the promise of those who unceasingly review the
events and read the history of the world's yesterdays, Hnd conclude
that they, if they achieve success, must hold close to the paths that led
to the pinnacles in other years. Imitation is the password of their
company.
It is unfortunate that many men are misled into believing this
promise true. For although, in a sense, life is perpetual repetition and
imitation, in its much larger import it is improvement, advancement,
and development. And the man who reads only the pages of history is
never as great as the man who is able to write the pages of genuine
prophecy. He who admires only life's sunsets often misses the most
glorious of its sunrises. To follow the paths worn by the leader
the past, will never bring a man to higher altitudes than those leaaeis
reached.
Marconi deigned not to be an imitator when he Invented a pro
cess which made possible communications between continents without
the use of cables. The Curries refused to accept the conclusion of
previous scientists when they set out to discover radium. They didn't
believe that imitation is the goal of man. Initiative was the password
of their company.
How matchless is the opportunity of the college man to read of the
past and then make of the future. His is the privilege of following the
paths of successful men of other years, until they stop somewhere in
the heights, and then outfitted with his his college training and cogni
zant of their experience, forge ahead, breaking new paths to greater
altitudes.
He may not be only an Imitator. He may be a man of initiative.
De Pauw Dally.

THE DAILY DITTY
by
Gayle Vincent Grubb
There's a question that has risen here
Among the social hounds,
And those who wear the spike-tailed
coat
And here Is how it sounds.
A dude there Is who's got a bid
To a high class ehufflin' bee
And he's worried whether to walk the
da mo
Or take her autoly.
So generally he, a part of the line
Of the semi-social birds
Hauls forth the dame in a taxi-cab
And feels too stiff for words.
Well he dances hither, thither and
nigh
But always In his dome
He knows when tho feet have ceased
to slide
He must taxi-cab her home.
Bunk! All bunk, since when must a
dame
Be blessed with wicked kale
To such an extent as to rob the dude
Like a ship without a sail?
The soul that I fall for and so do you
Is the dam who springs this talk:
"Now never mind a taxi-cab
We'll take a car or walk"
That's where I stand and rightly too
The girl's no better than I
And the taxi-cab shall lug no dame
When I have to pay the guy.
