Circulation Manager "EVEN FOR LAZY PEOPLE" Next Sunday is officially "Go to Church" Sunday, and granted that Sunday morning sleep is one of the inalienable rights of man omitted from the constitution through an oversight of our forefathers, one hour out of one hundred and sixty eight (there are one hundred and sixty eight hours in every week) does not seem too much to spend on the spiritual development of tiie average college man or woman. Mentally! Thysically! Spiritually! That is the an cient and honorable ordeT in which the threefold de velopment of the individual is considered. But in college life the mental and physical too often fill the entire one hundred and sixty-eight while the spiritual meekly takes third place which too often turns out to be no place at all. So the University and the local churches combine to salvage one hour out of the one hundred and sixty eight of one week in the collegiate year by the institu tion of a custom called "Go to Church" Sunday. The object of the custom is to form a slender connection between the student and some local church in hope that the student will go back the next Sunday and the next; in hope that the slender connection may become a strong and active force in the development of the man or woman who is to go out from the University next spring1 or four years from now. Looking back over the past, the custom seems but a faint hope. Multitudes will turn out for the eleven o'clock service next Sunday, but what of the Sundays to come? Granted that church attendance is a far from swmrnt barAtntr of spiritual development, it. i a dull and unimportant student who gains nothing from it if he goes through the motions often enough. Quoting from an article written and published by an eastern college professor there is displayed a very demonstrative and prejudiced point of view concerning college footbaJL In fact, he doesn5t believe in it. "Football is fast becoming a gigantic, overwhelming, Gorgon, about to consume the heart and soul of college intellectuality. Its magnetic appeal, drawing the student always at the inopportune time, is converting the straightly directed orbit of the student, into a hopelessly blinded path toward intellectual heights," he asserts. Dear mt, what mental flip flops the professor's pedantic intellect performed. Another passage is of in terest also: "This state may be remedied, however, by the students participating in the enjoyment of a gridiron struggle without such a boister ous spirit, as is usually evident. This will aid in creating the idea that football is a thing aside, and not of major importance, as many have come to regard it." ' Now, let us really regard this statement without levity. Tonight there is to be a rally, the first of the sea son, for one of the greatest teams Nebraska has ever had. The team will be there, the coach will be there, in fact, everyone will be there. But the important point is, that there must be no noise. Anything above a stage whisper will be immediately silenced by mem bers of the organization of Corn Cobs. "Shush", will be the password. The cheer leaders will be gagged when they arrive. The speakers will be heard with the res pect, tribute, and quiet attention due them. Then everyone will quietly leave. A remark to a neighbor such as, "1 hope we win", would be very appropriate. And at the game tomorrow, such remarks as "Atta Baby, Blue boy", or "Buckets of Blood", will be ab solutely prohibited. However, in order not to dispense with all festivity, a softly whispered, "Fight fiercely, fellows", to cheer the boys on the field, will be toler ated. This, accompanied by a gentle wave of ones ker chief to ones favorite on the field, would be very sweet Tea will be served between halves. Help! Say, listen! If the roof of the Coliseum is not raised four feet and bounced as many times at that rally tonight, then let us all do our rooting for the tatting team of the ladies sewing circle. And at the game, if we don't make that Ames aggregation think they have dropped into a Comanche Indian uprising, then let us be sentenced for the rest of our lives, to do nothing but read books on "Knocking the Wind out of Football". FAIR ENOUGH In keeping with what seems to be expected of the Editor of The Daily Nebraskan, a violent attack upon the Student Council or else a healthy back-patting should appear in this morning's paper. A new Varsity Dance committee has been selected by the Council, and now it also must be either praised to the skies or drag ged in the editorial dust The chairman, Mr. Gratigny, was evidently the best man for the position. At least it took twelve bal lots to elect him. He seems to realize the importance of his position, and the gaps in the old Varsity Dance system which must be mended. As for the rest of the committee! it does not ap pear to be the old political combination of Greek-letter go-getters who need important titles after their names in the Cornhusker. The proof of the pudding, however, is in the eat ing, or rather in this case, the type of dance the new committee sponsors. It is only fair to wait until the new managers have done something before criticizing them, nor is there any reason to turn their heads be cause they were selected, by telling them how promising the future appears. . THE SPECTATOR- I have meditated often upon the Abuses imposed upon certain words in our Language, and especially upon the Misapprehensions current as to the meaning of such Words as truth, and justice. An Event of Im portance of recent Date has served to renew in my Mind these Meditations, and Yesterday, as Sir Roger end I sat at Luncheon in The Stick, we had just Cause to discourse upon such Matters. For, as I told Sir Roger with pardonable Glee, my Editor has just received a Communication demanding that the Spectator column, in the interests of "truth and justice," be discontinued. "But my dear Fellow," said Sir Roger, "here you have positive Proof that your column is being read." I agreed, with Alacrily, but I found Myself in rather a melancholy Mood for the Rea son that I had received no Letters demanding that the Spectator column be continued. But enough of that It is indeed Unfortunate, Sir Roger and I agreed, that the Mr. Hallam, the Communicant mentioned above, can not have the Pleasure of Viewing his Handi work on the printed Page. And I would say to Mr. Hal lam, while I am upon the Subject, that 1 did my Part, for I pleaded with the Editor to allow publication of his Letter. The Editor was adamant, however, explain ing that there is an inviolable Rule of this newspaper, that no Communicant shall be published unless the Editor know the Identity of the writer; and since no Man by the name of Hallam can be found in Records or in Acquaintances, this Rule of Publication is in voked. I am thinking for the Good of the General Populace when I desire this Letter to bo printed, for it would serve as an admirable Illustration, of what I have just been thinking, that the Abuse of the words, truth and justice is become Common in this Age. Mr. Hallam's Letter would prove my Point more adequately than half a column of conscientious Argument and Rhetoric. Meanwhile, I have observed that Preparations for the Game on Saturday are going forward at a feverish Rate, what with the Upper Thirteen in a Frenzy for fear the Big Rally tonight will not be a Success, and with the Cheerleaders well nigh to Distraction for thinking the special Cheering Section will not function properly. There is a rare Opportunity, and myself as a Spectator mean to grasp it, to see a Cheering Practice at the Stadium this Afternoon. Indeed, I have allowed myself to become Infatuated with Anticipation, and many times has the Picture come to my Mind of a Mob of hearty youn Fellows sitting in the bare, empty Stadium, With a few Puppet-like Leaders engaged in Acrobatics to excite Cheersand all without a football game. I confess I have never given the Matter much Thought, but I must say it has always seemed to me that Cheers were impossible unless there were some thing to cheer For. Perhaps I have but committed an other Errour, and it may be that the ancient Rule of tZZl eCt i"Vin8 CaUC " "-applicable n this special Case; for surely, it appears that the Cheerlead ers aim to provoke Cheers no matter what happens at the Game Saturday, and they are wise enough to pro mote a little Practice in order that the Visitors at the Game m,y be entertained properly.

Manhattan, Kansas, Sept. 30. When Charlie Bachman's Kansas Wildcats invade Missouri to tangle with Gwin Henry's Tigers, two pos sible Missouri valley champions will open the conference season tomor row at Columbia with one of its most important battles, since Missouri U. and Kansas State are rated with the strongest in the valley. As far as conditioning and train ing the teams are equal, each having started practice on September 15, the date set by conference regulations. While the Aggies had their first competition last Saturday when they defeated Kansas State Teachers col lege at Hays, 30 to 6, Missouri wal loped their freshmen in a practice scrimmage. Letter men on the Kan sas side number sixteen, which gives the Tigers; who have eighteen, a slight advantage. ' It is probable that Coach Bachman will use practically the same starting lineup that he did against Hays with the exception of Joe Anderson at quarterback. Karl Enns who started last Saturday was injured in the third quarter and it is doubtful that he will be in the lineup at Columbia. Anderson showed up well during the first game, returning punts and kickoffs for good gains, once for 85 yards and a touchdown. Captain Jim Douglass was another strong factor in the Aggies' scoring with his off tackle smashes. The rest of the backfield should be made up of Joe Holsinger, left half, and Lee Ham mond, right half. Bert Pearson should start at cen ter with the guards, Harold Stover and Casey Bauman. Tackles will be the housemoving twins, Dee House holder and George Lyon, while on the wings two third year men will see their regular positions, Monk Ed wards and Ted Fleck. Middletown, Conn.
