It must record, it is true. But it must so arrange
its recordings, mast so develop its material that from
its pages will flow at least a measure of the spirit
which pervades the campus. In other words, if it is to
be all that it can be, it most live. To accomplish these
ends is the work of an editor.
If the new editor can so mold his material that in
after years it will really bring: back University life,
rather than presenting a mere lifeless mass of infor
mation, he will have fulfilled his true function.

VARSITY DANCES VS. THIN ICE
If the Varsity Party Committee had an advance
ticket sale aided by well-known students, would the
attendance then reach the "Peak of Promise", the 1000
mark, set by them? This is a question deserving of
more than a little consideration.
The first Varsity Party Saturday night will un
doubtedly determine the life of the future affairs
whose success hangs upon a thread because many party
goers on the campus seemed to prefer hotel parties last
year. The start's the thing, and unless N. U. students
know that varsity parties are meeting places which
spell true enjoyment the committee may be ready to
give this renewed attempt up as a bad job. The group
in charge, however sterling in quality it may be, is not
endowed with superhuman strength to force attendance
upon balking individuals who have never attended a
school whose social life has been centered, since exis
tence, upon popular varsity parties.
Football guests have been invited, a popular and
well known orchestra will be imported, extensive dec
orations will be pat up, and good punch will be served.
What more can any student desire for forty cents per
person? Although a fifty cent charge for men, with the
women admitted free, seems more plausible.
And to add to inducements some brilliant person
deserves a medal for making arrangements to use but
half of the Coliseum which means that the music will
be heard by all of the dance attendants. Everything
certainly points towards a successful affair, and it
would be nothing short of ivy t.alr flung in their
faces should the fine ideas of a hard working commit
tee crumble into dust merely because such a large per
cent of the student body underestimates all-school
parties.
Every sea of success is rough, but whether these
rough spots will be death-blows will be determined Sat
urday night when the student body will have an oppor
tunity to test iU loyalty. Then, it w&'re determined
whether the committee's judgment is correctness itself.
Regardless of past fizzles, here's 100 percent
wishes for a 100 percent Varsity Party.
The. University of Nebraska is a great institution
to keep traditions living. We notice that the old prac
tice of booking house dances on Varsity Dance even
ings is still flourishing.
BLAME THE STUDENTS
Accusations have been made by The Lincoln Star,
and by A. E. Summerfeld in today's Soap Box, that
Nebraska's student body is not loyal to its team in de
feat Their assumptions are based on the poor turn-out
students made Sunday morning when they greeted
the team at the Rock Island depot. The Star estimated
that one hundred students attended the pep rally. Their
estimate is true, but the Star and Mr. Sommerfeld did
not know why more students dM nt att.-
Early Sunday morning an enthusiastic Cornhusker
-ujrver canea ail or the sorority and fraternity
houses and announced that a rally would be held
Mo.y morning. That individual was misinformed.
His mistake is responsible for the poor showing stud
ents made Sunday morning. Students, who di not
know that the team had arrived Sunday, came to the
depot Monday morning.
The rally was announced just a day too late. Only
a few students attended. It is still to be proven, how
ever, that the Cornhusker student body is not loyal.
The mistake has been made once. Care will be
taken next time the team plays away from home to in
sure the correct announcement concerning the rally.
When the team comes home it will then be seen whether
the student body is loyal to the team win or lose.
It is our opinion that when the train brings the
team back from the next game, the depot will resemble
a one-pound coffee tin holding two-pounds of coffee.
Nebraska student are loyaL Why shouldn't they be?
At least we prefer to think they are until shown other-wise.
Did you read yesterday morning's Spectator? If
so, you noticed the criticism of the Awgwan, which
stated that only two excellent articles appeared in the
first issue of our comic publication. He admitted one
of these to be Miss Ayres' conception of Milt Gross.
Mr. Spectator also had an article in this A.nrn
could it be that he inferred his article was the other
worthwhile one?

Daily Nebraslcan readera are cordially invited to contri
bute article, to thie column. Thi paper, however, asauraea no
responsibility for the sentiment expressed herein, and re
serves the righ: to exclude any libelous or undesirable matter.
To the Editor:
It. A. seems essentially idiotic. He starts out with
,the asinine although overworked assumption that all
students either have cars or need them a theory which
is essentially false. Lincoln is by no means so large
a town that automobiles are necessary for transport.
Except for students who Jive in College View, Univer
sity Place, or on outlying farms, cars are not at all
necessary. It is a very simple matter to walk: it merely
requires rising a few momenta earlier in the morning.
I have walked two miles to and from school for three
years, without feeling annoyed about the necessity of
doing so, and without being more than occasionally
late. Especially is it absurd for students living only a
few blocks from the campus to pile into cars to come
to school. I should not be a bit surprised to learn that
. A who bewailing the usurping of parking space,
is one of these very students without blood enough in
his veins to walk five or six blocks.
As for his statement that nothing has been done
about Twelfth Street from R Street south, he evidently
is not aware that Twelfth Street from R Street south
is ten feet wider than it is from, R to Vine, and hence
the danger of accident is considerably diminished. Be
sides, there is little or no jay-walking, between R Street
and O; students cross Twelfth street, in the campus,
at all conceivable angles and moments. Hence there
is not only danger to other automobiles but to pedes
trians. For myself, I see no reason why the University
does not prohibit student cars entirely. The students,
upon being thus forced to walk, would unquestionably
I think, improve in physical vigor; and the standards
of scholarship would probably be increased. Even rid
ing the street cars to and from school does not cost
so much as the maintenance of a car, so a considerable
saving would also be effected. The University of In
diana, and some other schools, have banned student
cars, with little more than a casual protest from the
students, and there has been no revolt at any of those
places, and, to all appearances, the students are just
as happy as they were before.
So far as I can see, R. A. has no cause to grumble;
if he believes that automobiles are necessary to a happy
and contented student body, let him be thankful that
cars are not prohibited.

A certain University professor has his own little

the place given this gem? m
EDITING THE CORNHUSKER!
neurssns a siaaenc puoiicauon Doara selected a
new Cornhuxlter editor yesterday afternoon. The an
nual year book of the student body which has had to
delay beginning its work almost a month, can now start
to work.
Called to the helm is a student who is fortunate
in raving: bad considerable experience on the Cornhus
ker. A grtsX task confronts hint. On the editor of the.
Corr.li -alter rests the obligation of catching the spirit
of the University and of its students, and of record'
u g that tpt in its pages.
Catching a spirit is difficult To fully grasp the
spirit- of en institution which changes day by day,
i.w.th by month, which is as evanescent as the prairie
is no simple tak. Hundreds of students go
x' h the University without over catching its spirit,
i ,y without even realizing that it has a spirit,' 4ef-
i i'.'-Jr.z bond which binds the true Cornhusker.
T ' t'ornbu kor, alone of University publications,
1 : ' l tV-it spirit, can typify that spirit, for the stu-
i i f j .- years. It is the parpote of the Corn
et ft T"t si mere record boot Or at leust it
l m', 7' it if to fuli'.l its fundamental pur-
! I f s-. f i'! hi ".'r.TSrnr ilia
Some say that fools rush in where angels fear to
tread. It is therefore, perhaps, not for a freshman to
bewail the deficiencies of an institution, such as ours.
But as one man said, "I must get it out of my system."
In the annals of athletic history will probably be
written this phrase: "On the afternoon of October 8,
ivti, tne iigers of Mizzou and the scat let and cream
clad warriors of Nebraska clashed in one of the great
est contests that has ever been staged on a gridiron
The Tigers won 7-6."
Carry on that slogan, "The greatest team in Corn
husker history," for nowhere, ever, has a gamer team
gone down to defeat. When one man, using his physical
body as a ramrod and his spiritual body as a driving
power, gains yardage from actual scrimmage, equal to
or perhaps surpassing any record ever made in the'
history of Cornhuxker football, can keep the hearts
of 10,000 spectators on the verge of stopping, there is
every reason in the world to find glory in defeat When
the victors exclaim, "Deliver us from another such
battle"; when sports writers say, "The greatest driving
force that has ever been represented on the gridiron
field"; when a team, fighting under every handicap,
drives, plows, and smashes through the line of its op
ponents, only to be kept from a scoreboard victory by
a trick of fate, then let us lift higher than ever the
banner and with rising voices shout, "The greatest
team in Cornhusker history."
But how did the sons and daughters of our great
institution accept defeat? They cursed the coaching
staff, they condemned" the tactics of the quarter back;
every membtr and every movement he made was sar
castically criticized and renounced. Every one from
the most humble freshman to the most conceited senior
knew just how the game should have been played.
Of the approximate 600 students in the Univer
sity of Nebraska, about 100 have enoh it'hoonpirit
to go down and meet the home-coming warriors. A
measly handful, to welcome a star in football annals.
A straggling few to welcome home the t.m ,!.
heroic efforts everyone seems to think were lost be
cause ol the words "We lost". Had we won, it is safe
to ay that 2000 raving, fanatical students would have
met the train.
So that is Nebraska spirit? Only in victory, only
when we gain, only when we have the rest of the world
at our feet can we claim to the world a great team
from a great school.
Listen everyone! Sorority women, fraternity men,
and barbs: unless you were among the small band at
the depot Sunday morning or with those that went to
Columbia, if you are a true blue Cornhusker, bend your
head in shame, in apology, when you are in the pres
ence of one of the team. Keep silent forever your
MMifc-uea, ior wie meaningless mutterings of a rotten
loser, are as mockery in the hour of victory. If that is
treason, let it be.
And to you, Glen Presnell, and your teammates,
I give a silent salute of tribute. Fir though you lost,
you were not beaten. You died fighting, with your
face toward the goal.
That is the true Comhuhker Spirit.
A. E. Sommerfeld.

(Continued from Page 1)
Bruce, Business Manager of the book.
"If it appears that there is too much
campaigning and politics being
brought into the election, we will
disqualify the candidates. We want
this section to be representative of
the best there is in the student body.
"In voting, we want the students to
consider their candidates in the light
of scholastic record as weil as posi
tions in campus activities. This book
will be the permanent recoM of this
year and in this special section we
want a true representation of the
leaders in the class.
A section of this kind has not ap
peared in any Cornhusker since 1924.
At that time such elections were dis
continued because the Pan-Iellenic
Council disapproved the politics in
volved in the selection of the hon
ored students. Partly for this reason,
no campaigning or canvassing of
votes will be allowed at the place
where the votes are cast
Past September's Hot
Days Equalled Record
Of June, July, August
Lawrence, Kan., Oct 12 The
number of hot days (days of 90 de
grees or more) in September just
closed equalled the total hot days of
June, July, and August preceding,
records show at the University of
Kansas Meteorological station. Only
once in the sixty years of the sta
tion's history has there been a Sep
tember with more hot days. That was
in 1881, when there were fourteen
hot days, compared with the thirteen
this year.
However, in spite of this excess of
heat in the first half of the month,
unseasonably cool weather the latter
days brought the month's average to
2.23 degrees of normal.
Rain on each of the last eight days
of the month, and a few other days,
totalled one-third inch less than nor
mal for the month.
