not an example of negligence on the

Cannon, Tanks, Bottles, Ruins--
These Make Nebraska's France
Why po to Fiance to see the devas
tated scenes of the World War, whe:i
iou can see them right here In Lancas
ter County, Lincoln, Nebraska, repro
(uced on the campus of the State Uni
versity? Gazing out of the upper sto
ry window of the Social Science
building, "No Man's Land" Is fully
duplicated in all Its vividness of por
trait. On the hoiUou bhaggy trees
raise their barren branches to the
sky in mute appeal for protection. De
serted trenches filled with murk and
ftrime, meet one's gaze as it goes
from one horror-filled scene to anoth
er. Mud drenched hovels which once
were happy homes filled with sun
shine and laughter, now greet the
onlooker's gaze. Foundations which
once supported these beautiful homes
are exposed to the raven's pick and
the Btarved hound's hungry clutches.
Here and there, can be gathered up
relics to be treasured as mementos
and placed on the parlor table or the
time-honored mantle, so all visitors
'an see a ad year the tales, when,
'here, how, and by whom the relics
ere found. Several old jugs, steins,
and numerous bottles (now empty)
have been discovered as treasures of
'he past. These may be kept as sou
venirs of the dead that have thirsted
or. tho field of battlo before July 1.
Amid these ancient ruins, tolling a
tale of heroism in hari
foughf battles, Nebraska's soldiers of
today, enlisted in the R. O. T. C. of
the University, will wage their artil
lery combats, for this "No Man's
Land" has been selected as the train
ing field for the artillery of this unit.
Already, big guns lend a martial air
to the battle-scarred field.
Nebraska's France in all its glory
may be visited any day. See the
Campus Firstly
Now and then we can see some aged
cteran returning to the plana of his
former location. We can r-.ee him wan
dering around aimlessly, in a vain at
tempt to locate some shattered bits
ot that which had been dear :o him.
More than this, the ancient ruins of
Greece are also reproduced on the
campus as exact copies of the ancient
days. The temple of Venus with its
pillars remaining as a mute reminder
of the old pompous days may be ob
served at the extreme right of the
Teachers' College. Near by the re
mains of an old Rorvfcn bath can be
cMscerned.

BAILEY TO LEAD
BUSKER PONIES
At Quiet Meeting of Nebraska
Quintet New Captain is
Elected.
NO PREVIOUS
ELECTIONEERING
Russell Bailey was elocted to the
captaincy of the 1921 Cornhusker
basketball team at a meeting of the
Varsity in the athletic office held yes
terday afternoon. No public announce
ment had been made of the meeting
and the election went off In a very
quiet manner.
That the team made an excellent
choice when they elected Bailey as
their leader for next year, there is no
doubt. "Skipper" has played two sea-
sens on the Varsity and Is well qual
ltied in every way for the honor be
stowed upon him. His phenomenal
work at guard this season has been
one of the features of the year. Tn
every home game and everywhere tho
team has played this year, Bailey has
always performed in top-notch form
and received praise from all critics.
Bailey comes from Hebron, where
lie was very prominent in high school
athletics. He starred in football, bas
ketball, and track at the Thayer coun
ty school. Since coming to the Corn
husker- University he has confined li!s
efforts to the game of basketball and
s one of the greatest guards ever
produced at Nebraska. It is a safe
prophecy that next year he will be
the most talked- of basketball player
in the West.

Coach Schulte ! v-.ry optimistic
ov. r 'he wealth ot 192 tuuk material
'The opportunities for the develop
v.i'h is showing an a. Nebraska,
n.ent of track as a sport at the Uni
versity of Nebraska are unlimited,' he
says. ""We have the material here to
beat Missouri and all the other uni
versities in this part of the country.
In no other state that I know of, is
the state university so free from com
petition from other colleges as here
at Nebraska. This University is the
athletic centre of all Huskerland, and
in track as well as in football, It
should put out a team second to none
in the country."
Because the 1920 season should be
the greatest that has ever been known
at Nebraska, every track man is asked
to report tonight in the chapel. Nuni
hers make easier the selection of the
best material. Nebraska needs the
best material.
It was a beautiful morning in
March. Furthermore, it was a beau
tiful Sunday morning. The birds
were singing gayly and the trees
looked as though, they might burst in
to leaf before long.
The campus was Inhabited by a
srinKle stroller. This young man
vas Romeo Romancio who was long
ing for adventure. He had always
longed for adventures and had al
ways pictured himself as a young
l.ochinvar or a Launcelot seeking ex
citement. Just now he was deep in a
day dream, wherein he was living the
scenes which h had seen in the
"movies" the night before. The
hero had gone to France and had
won the Croix de Dlable, and had
returned to find a burglar just en
tering lhe house of his beloved
Romeo stopped strolling long enough
to find a sunny place on tho steps
of a 'building where he could sit
and dream he was just in the act
of leaping upo the burglar and
taking away all his weapons when
he heard a dismal creak!
He drew himself up into a listen
ng position and then he heard an
other creak! Here was his chance!
He stole softly to the corner
and peeped around. A dark form
was there! It was standing in one
of the window holes before a window
that led into the basement of the
building. Romeo (lnticed that the
form was that of a woman. She
carried a package probably a
bomb, or a bit of dynamite! So she
was not a burglar after all; she was a
bolshevist!
Perhaps . she was the one who had
put up the red flag on University
Hall a few weeks before. "Creak,
Creak" went the window. The wo
man was swearing in a low voice.
Romeo heard her say distinctly "If
I don't get in here, they can just
get that stuff themselves. (More
news! She must be a burglar too,
and she must have accomplices!) Ro
meo's eyes grew quite round. He saw
himself marching boldly into the pol
ice station followed by the captured
tb'igs. The chief was patting him on
i -e back and saying Just then the
window at which the woman had been
working, gave way and the woman
slowly raised the sash.
She started to climb in. Romeo
stepped around the corner in time tD
hear her say "Whew! It is hot in
