HUMAN INTEREST MATERIAL
FOR THE 1921 ANNUAL.
When the spring of the year rolls
around again and you think of good
old vacation days no more studying,
no more cramming for examinations
there is one day, and that day
finally rolls around, when the Annual
is distributed. That is the time you
are going to get a shock of your lives.
You will see people looking through
the pages of the 1921 Cornhusker
with the breathless interest of rela
tives listening to the reading of a
will, or the expectant interest of the
investor reading the ticker tape, or
the Interest of the fan in the ninth
Inning with the score-nothing to noth
ing, with two men out, three men on
the bases and Ty Cobb at bat--with
ihe Interest with which everyone
reads that which deeply concerns him.
The numerous features will not be
the product of one person but the
keen, clever, inside material gathered
by everyone at this school the real
human interest stuff that a friend
confides in a friend and thinks that
is about as far as it will go.
Athletic dop will not be the old
"stuck-ln-the-rut" kind that has been
dished out in years past, but the real
peppy stuff written by those who
know the art, and In the language
such as used by the Dean of Baseball
writers. Ring Lardner, or that incom
parable football genius, Walter Camp.
And that Scene Section "Differ
ent" Well, we'll say as different as
a ham actress compared with the
American Beauty Norma Talmadge
as refined in its treatment as a
painting by Corot, and with the touch
of real sentiment that tugs at the
heart-strings and makes one wisk that
College Days never ended.
Thought, skill and refined tastes
are working hand In hand in the
planning of this wonder book. If you
are holding back any human Interest
material, come over and whisper It to
us. A great Annual can only be built
by everyone putting their shoulder to
the wheel.
How much material are you going
to give. How much will you con
tribute In Its making?
CADETS' 8HOWINO GOOD
"The cadet regiment made an ex
ceptionally good showing," said Gen
eral Wood in regard to the cadet
corps' part In the review and parade
Thursday afternoon. "Their work
was splendid for the amount of prac
tice they have had so far this year."
The general also stated that he was
disappointed that the room promised
was not saved for the regiment at
the auditorium since he desired to
compliment them on their good ap
pearance In the parade.
Colonel Moses has Instituted a sys
tem of merits which has resulted
a dropping off in the number
absentees and the corps was present
almost to a rp" The men kept their
heads and in spite of the short time
which ther hare been in uniform
made a neat appearance on parade.
The boys handled their guns like
veterans although they have had their
rifles but one week. Colonel Moses
was also very well pleased with the
excellent work done by the men.
About one thousand students were
in the regiment during the parade.
A large number of the men were ex-
service men and were excused in
order that they might march in the
ex-eerrice sections according to the
branch of serrice they were in.
Lieutenant Colonel Harley headed
the column of khaki clad cadets
through the review and parade. The
men were returned to the Armory
where they discarded their rifles,
formed with their companies again
and were marched back to the audi
tori am to hear General Wood speak
The auditorium being filled to capa
city the cadets were unable to get
in In a body although room was to
have been provider for them in the
building. The corps was dismissed
and as many as were able went to
hear the address.
Lieutenant Colonel Harley is ver
well pleased with the work of the
regiment as are all the members 01
the Instructing staff. The men ha1
hitherto made excellent pro- resu and
with the new system of merits, th
target staff of Instructors and the ad
vance work which Is being taken up
it Is expected that the Nebraska
corps will rate among the best in the
country very soon.
FORMS OF DISSIPATION.
With the conventional forms of dis
sipation all are familiar. Indeed, when
wo une the word wo generally refer
to one or more of the bad habits
which )the .term includes, riuuicly:
drinking or immorality. But there is
still another kind of dissipation, less
spoken of it Is true, but none the less
detrimental to him who Indulges in It
namely, .he dissipaftoo. lot energy,
sometimes know as 'Irltterlng."
Its Jrevalence on the campus Is
disconcerting, to say Ihe leant An
enormous amount of time Is consumed
by the average student In doing noth
lng, or to be more exact, in doing a
lot of Uitle things, the results of
which nre nil. We do not decry so
cial interests. On the contrary we
think that it id nothing loss than a
duty for a student to mingle with his
associates. But to be moderate ah,
proximate the "goldeu mean" praised
by Aristotle.
The University often seems to be
composed of two clauses: those who
Bpcud nearly all tb-lr time in idle
ch; tier and those who so wrap thuui
hoIvbho in books Mint they appear to
forget thore are others besides them
selves In quest of education. Some
apparently have so much work to do
and oiheis so little. Witness the reading-room
at the Library of an af;er-
nuuu: so.'uo concentrated ou their
b(yol-jj cro aware of nothing rise,
others aru engaged in the remarkably
pruflUiblo occupation of glancing
aioimd i.t their neighbors or clso aw
holding innumerable tete-atetes. Y
these same people, when questioned
aboiu their leisure, say thoy pre "so
busy they haven't time to do a thing."
There are spendthrifts of time as
well as of money we should say.

of People Aske for
Support
Needs
The Red Cross still serves! Day
a in a uttifl room on the
fourth floor of the city hall, Miss
Leroy, the executive secretary of the
local chapter with two assistants,
i. . wnrv that will live In
the minds of ex-army men as a noble
Inspiration. Day after day, bravely
smiling at disabled soldiers who no
longer can work, whose all was given
that democracy might live; the noble
wnmpn nr the American Red Cross
meet the tragedies of life with help
lng hands, dealing out the fast dimin
ishing funds of the last roll call, ana
the women pray that the thoughtless
few who think the price of the war
has been paid once for all, will not
hesitate when called on for financial
support.
The fourth annual drive for the
support of the American Red Cross
began yesterday and will run until
Thanksgiving day, at which time tho
organization hopes that every man
and woman in Lincoln will have re
sponded to the call.
Miss Leroy in explaining the work
and needs for the American Red
Cross said, "In the first place we
have not as yet completed our pledge
to stand by our boys and their
families until all possible readjust
ment to civilian life is made. There
are hundreds of-claims still unsettled;
not, as many think, because the gov
ernment is remiss; more often than
not it Is because the claims have
never been presented or the neces
sary information has not been sup
plied. The returned soldiers came
and are still coming to the Red Cross
whose privilege it is to help them
with these claims. Often the Red
Cross finds disabled men who have
tried in vain to take out Insurance in
a private company who did not know
there was still a chance to reinstate
their war risk policy. Sometimes, un
fortunately, they have already waited
so long that they have missed the
opportunity. Surely the least we can
do for these men Is to get in touch
with them as soon as possible and
see that they at least understand
what they can secure under the gov
ernment and help the disabled man to
present his case."
November 14 Red Rross Day.
Governor McKelvIe has named No

The misery and the mortality m
the world is not much less now than
it was during the war. From 1914
to 1918 men died in battle. Men,
women and children have continued
after the armistice no less than b
fore to die needlessly from hunger
and exposure and disease.
Half of the Russian people may
die of starvation and disease before
this winter is through. Austria Is a
nation of hunger whitened facen
Most of southeastern Europe in
typhus cursed and famine rlddes.
There Is no small amount of after
war suffering in the allied countries
Even in America not everyone
healthy and prosperous.
The need for the services of the
Red Cross is no less now than It ws
when in the high emotions or war
time, we heaped high the funds for
Its work of salvage. The roll call
which is now about to begin, th
effort to re-enlist all who enrolled a
members in the three previous year,
ought to meet as universal and gener
ous a response as am me previous
canvasses for membership. Here we
show whether we really meant the
fine humanitarian professions which
we made during the war.
