Nebraska's annual Cornhusker banquet in honor of the football team will be held Friday of this week This affair is a highly-respected tra dition at Nebraska, and is one of the events of the year which no loyal Cornhusker man can afford to miss. It is at this banquet that the men of the University get together for the only time in the year, and do hom age to the "Fighting Cornhuskers." The plans being perfected for the 1923 banquet indicate that it will surpass those of the past in every way. Every loyal Cornhusker will be present at the Cornhusker banquet Friday evening.- On the same evening as the Corn husker banquet for the men, the girls of the University will gather at the Armory for an annual girls' Corn husker party. The affair will be a costume party, and an elaborate and unique program, for which the Corn husker parties are noted, will again be given. Each University girl is urged to attend this annual get-to gether, which will be remembered as one of the bright spots of her college career. The Military Ball Friday night, characterized by a glittering bril liance and splendor never before at tained in such an affair, opened the formal season. To a great number of Nebraska students, a majority in fact, the formal season means noth ing, or at best signifies a phase of college life which they are not ex periencing. Perhaps they feel the ' pangs of disappointment because they are participating in these affairs. If these students would stop to consider the situation, however, we believe any regret on their part for not indulging in this pleasure will cease. These students are here pri marily to get an education to fit them for the business of life, and unless they feel that formals are a neces sary part of such' an education, as we do not believe they are they should forget the idea that they are suffer ing any real loss by not attending formals. President Coolidge addressed Con gress test Thursday for the first time since he became president. Appear ing before a joint session of the two houses, he discussed all of the nations major problems. How many Unl versity students read the text of Coolidge's message? A small mui ority, we venture to state. Students are constantly criticised for their lack of interest in things outside of college. Greater interest and knowledge of the affairs of the United States and the world at large should be one of the aims of every college student. Another world event of more than passing interest was recorded yester day. Premier Baldwin of England was defeated in the general elections, and announced his intention to re sign. Students, are you keeping abreast with the movements and events of the times? The identity of the person who contributed the funds to build an observatory at Washburn College was kept a secret for fifteen years. If someone would donate funds at Nebraska to build a new museum or gymnasium, or to pay our loyal pro fessors the salaries they deserve, we would keep the name of the donor a secret for ever if he so desired. Glancing at the Columbia Spect ator, we learn that during the past year $13,000,000 in gifts has been received by Columbia University. It is idle to speculate what great things could be accomplished by Nebraska University if it had even a fraction of the funds donated to Columbia in a year. A further examination of the same paper brings to light the interesting information that during the year Columbia had more than 80,000 stu dents, and a record of 3,122 degrees conferred. It would not be foolish to fore cast that Nebraska, showing the same phenomenal growth during the next fifty years that she has in the past half century, would be an even greatfr University then than Colum bia is now. Lying in the middle of one of the most productive valleys in the world, Nebraska's possibilities as an educational center are almost unlimited. Several lessons could be taken from the words written before the fatal game by Jack Trice, Ames negro tackle, who died from injuries received in the Ames-Minnesota game this fall, but the one concern ing personal honor and school spirit cannot be overlooked. Trice said, "The honor of my race, family, and self are at stake. My whole body and soul are to be thrown recklessly about on the field jfcomorrow." Who, we ask, cannot help but ad mire the spirit, the indominable cour age, which those words signify. If football had no other good results than that of developing such a no bility of self and regard for honor as exemplified by Jack Trice, this result alone would be full justification for its existence. Illinois will be Nebraska's oppon ent in the opening grid game of the 1924 season. The contest wiU be played in the memorial stadium Octo ber 4. This game should prove an unusual treat for Nebraska grid fans, as Illinois tied for the Big Ten championship this year, and is the eleven which boasts of Harold Grange, the ."football player without a weakness." Speaking of the Illinois team re minds us that Frank Rokusek, cap tain of the 1924 Illini and all-conference end, is an Omaha boy. Ne braska University each year loses state high school athletes of promise who go to eastern schools when could just as well be enrolled in the Corn husker institution. Some system might well be devised to keep Ne braska athletes at Nebraska. Student Opinion. Contributions to this column are vary welcome and invited. Student opinion is valuable, to the editorial staff of tha paper, consequently we welcome it. Dear Eidtor: - In connection with the current practice of picking representative Cornhuskers I'd rather like to submit for your approval the name of Glutt McLutt, the first man who went to a party uninvited. Glutt really deserves the great honor. He has made a more pro found impression upon our social activities and has more imitators than anyone else, including Professor Fogg. He received his great inspiration one evening while sitting in his room writing leads for a Journalism class, Hearing from afar the strains of a dance orchestra, Glutt thought bit terly how unjust it was that he had not been invited. Meditating morosely over this in justice, he received his Great Inspi ration, the idea that made him famous. " Why not go anyway? " As he thought the matter over, the possibilities of the thing became ap parent. No one would dare say anything, to him because they wouldn't want to have a fuss at the party. Glutt knew he could act as if he belonged there. Glutt persuaded the cook to mani cure her nails and he took her as his consort. Everything went be yond his wildest expectations. No one said & thing to him and he got three turns at the refreshments. Thus was born an epoch-making idea. It was just as casual as the discovery of the laws of gravitation by Newton, and other monumental discoveries. Today- .Glutt is hallowed and re vered by countless followers in Ne braska. There are Glutt McLutts all about us. Everyone who comes un invited to a party is paying silent tribute to Glutt, who invented the idea. Therefore, dear Editor, I propose Glutt be selected as a representative Cornhusker and a committee be ap pointed to erect a bronze bust in his memory. A DISCIPLE LEDWICHS TASTIE SHOPPE Fountain & Luncheonette Service B2189 12th & P St.. THE MORNING AFTER- Now that our supreme display of lung-patriotism has won the major games for our football team; and the representative Nebraskans have con sented to let the ligTit from their beaming countenances difuse to a photo graphic plate, that all 100 per cent loyal Cornhuskers may view in years to come; and the honorary colonel has been elected, and the military ball is but a memory of broken dates, broken bank accounts and broken archest there remains little to do except to commence watching for "the first robin." Of course Christmas shopping should not be overlooked. It would be well, perhaps, to suggest at this time that a number of all-university rallies be hed so that a fitting Christmas spirit may be developed in the student body. It is very likely that manufacturers and merchants would lend their support to such a plan. By using the diamond ring, the smoking jacket, or any number of little things so dear to the hearts of the eds and co-eds, as a nucleus, some very thrilling and inspiring cheers could be educed. For instance : The ring; the ring; The ring's the thing. Yea beaut Yea beau! thundered out by 3,000 lusty-lunged enthusiasts would do much toward placing the oft spoken of Christmas' spirit on a "sounder" basis. Even with that matter out of the way we find some students are confronted with the problem of what to use for money. It is probable that a few thoughtless students may point out that the first semester ends in January and that it has been the practice of some instructors to conduct an examination at this time. This is really beside the point and those students should guard themselves against this unbecom ine display of the lack of knowledge of university spirit. Lo them remem ber, "as we have played so shall we. . Well, that's that. So long.
