CORNHUSKER SPIRIT.
Results of the Cornhusker drive to
sell the 1924 yearbook are proving
very x gratifying, not only from the
viewpoint of the number of books
sold, but also from 'the viewpoint of
Cornhusker spirit. The spirit and
loyalty which the students and cam
pus organizations are showing in
helping to put this drive across is to
be commended, and Nebraska may be
proud of the school spirit that the
success of this drive indicates. -
While lacking the thrills and ex
citement found in the heat of a foot
ball campaign, 1 such a drive as is
being carried on by the Cornhusker
this week is just important a time to
show school spirit and loyalty as be
fore the annual Notre Dame game.
The spirit that is being manifested in
the Cornhusker drive shows that the
wonderful school enthusiasm born
before the Notre Dame game hasn't
died, but is still alive and an integral
part of the Cornhusker institution.
NOT POSSIBLE.
City Ordinance 1631 of Lincoln,
which prohibits a public dance to con
tinue after 11:30, makes impossible
the granting of the request of the
cadet officers to continue the military
ball tonight until 12:30 or a later
hour. This ordinance, under which
the military ball would fall, declares
further that anyone remaining at a
public dance later than 11:30 is vio
lating the ordinance.
But suppose, perhaps, that this
ordinance could be violated with im
punity by the officers in charge of
the ball. The impropriety of such
action on the part of the University
would be serious. If the University,
which is supposed to develop respect
for the laws, would contenance the
violation of a city law by students
who could prophesy the. bad opinion
of the University and University
students which would be broadcast
by such conduct? Especially at
time when the University is being
constantly subjected to the criti
cism of the most searching eyes in
the state, the amount of harm that
would be done the University by
such action could hardly be forecast,
large number of students violate this
rule daily. The rule was made be
cause the practice does not help out
siders to gain a favorable impression
jof the University, but the real prob
lem connected with the violation of
this rule is even more fundamental.
In this violation of a rule we see
what seems to be characteristic of
Americans. It is an unwillingness on
the part of the individual to obey
a law which he does not favor. On
the campus we see the beginning of
what turns out to be a serious prob
lem in political life. The student who
smokes on the campus sees his atti
tude carried to its logical conclusion
by the violaters of the eighteenth
amendment and of the speed laws.
The fact that the students do not
receive training to obey laws, even
though they do riot believe in them,
is, in itself, a reproach to both the
educational system and the student.
If a student does not learn to assume
his obligations as a citizen, his uni
versity course is useless, no matter
how much Latin, chemistry and liter
ature he may know.
Student Opinion.
Contributions to this column are very
welcome and invited. Student opinion is
valuable to the editorial staff of the paper,
consequently we welcome it.
CAPTAINS
Captains to lead the 1924 Corn
busker football and cross-country
teams have been chosen. To each of
these two men has come one of the
greatest honors that the University
can bestow, and we wish to congrat
ulate them. Both of these men were
outstanding performers on their re
spective athletic teams this fall, and
their honors are richly earned.
The tasks, which they have before
them as leaders of Cornhusker ath
letic teams cannot be overestimated
Their duty it is to show the way to
the other men on their teams, to set
an example by their efforts, and to
instill in each man on the team the
spirit of co-operation and loyalty
that has always characterized Ne
braska's athletic teams.
Their position demands that they
.be leaders of men. 'When Nebraska
is losing, or things look dark, it is
the captain who is called upon to
inspire the team to greater and no
bler efforts. The -captain must set
an example for his men to follow,
and upon the success of his indivi
dual efforts, the success of the team
efforts largely depend.
Captains Weir and Zimmerman,
we congratulate you, and wish you
success and new honor as captains
of Nebraska's athletic teams.
SMOKING
The Board of Regents has ruled
against smoking on the campus. A
Dear Editor:
The football season is over and
there are men who have played their
game for Nebraska and for inter
collegiate football. Outstanding from
the group, one can pick Captain
Verne Lewellen as the type of a man
who typifies everything that is good
in a man, in a football player, and
in a leader of the Cornhuskers.
In every game that he played, he
was a moral force. He was sincere
in his efforts and bore his load of
responsibility with a grim silence
even when scandal-mongers broke
loose with their poison. He was a
leader, he was a real Cornhusker, and
he commanded the admiration and re
spect of every man who saw him play
or had the opportunity to meet him.
He has played his last game for Ne
braska but he has left his name be
hind. He will be remembered as the
man who lead the Cornhuskers of
1923. He will be remembered as
the captain who faced early-season
setbacks with determination to win
the next game. Whether he be re
membered by name or by deeds, his
career at Nebraska has made a better
Nebraska by virtue of his presence
in the student body.
Verne Lewellen has played his
final game for Nebraska. He spoke
at his last rally as captain of the foot
ball team. He expressed regret at
leaving. Students express the same I
measure of regret and feel that Ne
braska ha3 lost a valuable leader, a
valuable student, and a man well
worthy of the name of a great Cornhusker.

ceiv ' A "representative Cornhus
ker" should hesitate before drinking
pop of wearing loud ties he might
not run true to type if he did.
The awful knowledge that you
are, out of five thousand students,
"representative," would seem to me
ghastly. Of course, I'm not "repre
sentative," but I imagine the thought
I had been selected as a "type" of
5,000 odd students would peek at
me out of the dark and leer at me
when I turned out the lights.
In conclusion, my dear editor, I
think "representative Cornhuskers"
are the apertures in the macaroni.
Their selection is about as uniform
as the husbands of Irene Castle, and
the responsibility is greater than
Coolidge's.
I know however, that like mid-
semester examinations, we'll Always
have "representative Cornhuskers"
only I hope the "representatives"
don't take themselves too seriously.

Dear Editor:
I see that the time for ail-Ameri
can football teams and "representa
tive Cornhuskers" has rolled around
again.
I'm too awed by the personalties
of Walter Camp and Eckersall to say
anything about their gridiron selec
tions, but I'd like to make a few
comments in 'passing on this "repre
sentative Cornhusker" business.
Selection of "representative Corn
huskers" is always a source of genu
ine amusement to me. Choosing five
girls and five boys who are to bear
the burden of being typical Nebras-
kans "representative Cornhuskers"
has always seemed laughable.
I didn't know "representative
Cornhuskers" were in season again
until I saw a girl with her pencil to
mouth trying to remember the name
of that "sweet" fellow she met at
open house and who played on the
football team.
Picking out five persons as types
seems unfair, not only to them, but
also to the masses of untypical. Is
the gratification the five receive able
to compensate for the sad knowledge
of the other four thousand nine hun
dred and ninety students that they
aren't representative?
Then, again, look at the responsi
bility the ten "representatives" re-
