A LAST APPEAL
Tomorrow the University Senate
-ill meet: amonsr" other things, that
bodv will decide upon the plan to
lengthen Thanksgiving vacation and
shorten spring vacation. The deci
sion on this plan will be awaited
anxiously by the student body which
has shown a great interest in the
matter and seems to be unanimously
in favor of the plan.
While the Senate is considering
this matter they must consider not
only the students, the faculty mem
bers and the schedule; they must
also consider the families of the stu
dents. This is something which they
are apt to overlook but which is, in
our opinon, one of the main points
to be considered.
Ever since Thanksgiving Day was
first held, back in the days of the
Pilgrim fathers, it has been a family
affair. It has always been the day
in which the whole family has come
together and given thanks for all
things.
This day and Christmas are the
two times when families like to unite.
New Years, Easter, Fourth of July,
none of them mean as much to the
family as Thanksgiving and Christ
mas. The usual Thanksgiving pic
ture is that of a large heavily laden
table around which are seated all of
the members of the family, from
Grandfather down to the smallest
child.
When the plan is up before the
Senate, shouldn't this all be consider
ed? This little shift in the schedule
by which one day is dropped and
another added is a simple thing and
one which will not cause any loss to
the Univers.ty. But it will, undoubt-;CHrta;n
edly, mean a great aeai to a targe,
number of families whose sons or
daughters will be able to go home
because of the change.
THE TEAM LEAVES
Last Sunday we appealed to ih?
students to support the football team
after the Missouri defeat At that
time the statement was made that
this week would form the crisis in
the 1926 season and if the team and
the students were still lighting this
week, all would be well.
We are told that the team has been
working and fighting harder this
week than any other wrtk so far
Those men are coming back, after
defeat, with ail they have; they are
trying to overcome that thing which
has lost so many football games
overconfidence.
Now what about the students?
There has not been much chance for
them to show their colors so far.
That chance wall come today at 5:30
when the team will leave for St.
Louis.
Tomorrow afternoon will tell
whether the members of the team are
the only ones who can come back
after a defeat or whether the stu
dent body too can live up to that
fine fighting reputation which Ne
braska has always had.
THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS
We are in receipt of a letter from
Mr. E. E. Duncan, superintendent of
streets, which clears up the matter
of the delay in installing the traffic
signals which have been promised for
the intersection of Twelfth and R
streets.
Mr. Duncan is not in charge of the
department which handles the traffic
signals and his part in the affair has
been merely to 'legislate for the lo
cation of the signals."
The Daily Nebraskan has created
the impression that the delay in this
matter is the fault of Mr. Duncan
and we hasten to apologise. We are
none the less urgent however, that
te signals be installed as soon as
possible, whether by Mr. Duncan's
department or some other.
Because of the injustice we have
d.-r.a Mr. Duncan, we take the Vb-
Mty to reprint his 'etter
her Opinions' column.

THE SIGNALS
To the Editors
My attention has been called to a
short article which appeared in a re
cent edition of your valuable paper.
As has been the case in several hun
dred other matters, I again am given
the brunt of a more or less just crit
icism in this article The Automatic
Signal System is not a part of my
department but at the solicitation of
people interested in University af
fairs I took it upon myself to legis
late for the location of the signals at
the intersection of 12th and B
streets, that is the extent of my jur
isdiction, and the matter is now in
the hands of the safety department
and the city engineer.
However, in fairness to them I
would inform you that they have met
with several unavoidable delays , in
the shipment of material for the pro
posed installation. I am also pleased
to inform you that th' work is now
well under way and the traffic sig
nals should be in place within a short
time.
This letter is not meant as a criti
cism but only to inform you of the
reasons of the seemingly negligence
on the part of the city. No correction
is necessary.
Trusting that this will clarify the
matter in your mind, I beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
EDGAR E. DUNCAN,
Supt. of Streets.
IMPROVED SPIRIT
To the Editor:
Last week I wrote a lettc to you
criticising the school spirit exhibited
during the Drake game. I believe it
is perfectly proper that 1 should
write one now on behalf of the Mis
souri.
I have no criticism to make of the
spirit shown in this game. It was ex
cellent. In times of stress, in times
of victory, the cheers roared out over
the field. Not once did the Fpirit fal
ter. Hopes might waver, the game
might be lost, but the spirit was still
there.
The game is over and Ames is here
next. How is the spirit going to be
for that game? Missouri had a great
team, and so did Nebraska; therefore
school spirit was displayed at every
opportunity and excitement was in
tense.
Now what kind of a reception will
the team get at the Ames game?
Ames appears to be a much weaker
team than Missouri. In view of that
can the student body exhibit that
fighting spirit of the Missouri game
or will the enthusiasm be the med
iocre type of the Drake game?
Now, Nebraska, the enthusiasm,
pep, and school spirit of the last
game was great! In the future games,
no matter how the odds are, let's re-
tain that sniT-if nt v
falls on the m6 f f.
Mon ft fa
the school spirit was the greatest
since the founding of Nebraska. j

Entry Wins Gold Medal

The University of Nebraska sam
ple cottage cheese entry in the Na

last week won first place and the
Gold Medal. Entries from all over
the United States and Canada were
present and included the well known
dairy sections of these two countries.
The Neufchatel cheese entry won
a silver medal, being the highest scor
ing entry from Nebraska. This
again takes the honor from the older
dairy states and sections, and gives
it to Nebraska.
Although Nebraska is relatively
new in the dairy business, the dairy
department of the University was
able to win the above honor.

LOYALTY VERSUS BACK-BITING
(Peas State Colletiaa.)
In spite of the several serious
losses which the football eleven has
sustained, prospecta for a successful
season are promising. But Notre

Bucknell have teams that look strong
on paper, and which have exhibited
strength on the field thus far. And

on Thanksgiving Day and he'll be
very, very hungry if he continues to
starve at the present rate.
But the breaks of the game might
not come our way; and the DreaKs
are many on the gridiron. Good foot
ball is not only in the attack or de

That question rests with each man.
And if there are a few imbeciles who

be a warning I Penn State refuses to
tolerate the back-biter and unless
his lips are pressed tightly together,
unless he is able to grin and bear it
like the rest of us, it is his privilege
to tie a can to himself and hit the
trail. Penn State can stand the loss I

Men preparing for industry or commerce can
put themselves in an equally strategic position.
It all gets back to the simple idea tf being
broad and versatile.
An engineer should be well up on his specialty,
of course, but he should also keep an open
mind for questions of finance, law and public
relations if he aspires to a high place in the
councils of his organization.
Such "all-aroundness" typifies in particular
men who have brought the electrical com
munication industry to what it is today, and
who will carry it to still greater development
in the years to come.
