About These
Rallies.
pOR the last great push rally!
Or that, at any rate, is the burden of. the
pepsters' cries as they prepare to stage the pre
ganie celebrations calculated to send an inspired
team to Pitt. Preparations have been made for
rallies Wednesday morning, Wednesday night, and
again Thursday morning at the Burlington station
just before the squad leaves.
All the pep-sessions must be well-attended, the
pep organization leaders urge. They announce that
the Wednesday evening affair, culminating in zest
around a bonfire, will climax the rallies, and cer
tainly it promises to be the most spectacular.

TO THE EDITOR:
Thinking a few thoughts in favor
of an armory on Nebraska's cam
pus, I wonder just who's guessed
right, the pacifist (so-called) or
the militarist (violent type). For
everlasting peace in the U. S. our
pacifist says, "Do away with ev
erything military"; our militarist
savs, "Strengthen our military
power till we are so strong no one
will dare stuck us. tsotn agru
ments are equally weak. Taking
all military organization out of our
country would leave us an eco
nomic prize for the world powers,
Militarizing our own country to
extremes might also cause the
powers to force our government
from its policy of non-intervention
Military science in our univer
sity today provides something
more in the line of education than
the art of destroying human be'
ings. All persons in any civiliza
tion are controlled by customs,
law, and conscience which amounts
to nothing more than disciplining
oneself to do right, that right
which the majority of intelligent
individuals have decided to be
right. Such discipline is necessary
for civilization and is to the bene
fit of the individual. Courses in
military science not only talk
about discipline but they "enforce
it
What is more educational for
men than to contact other men of
their own age. The military de
partment brings together all of the
men in school, not for a brief in
terval but for a sufficient time for
great numbers of them to become
acquainted. An ordinary four years
in college does not and has not
provided for this broadening con
tact in any other manner.
The world is crying or leaders
in civil life, has cried and always
will. Leadership may be a gift, a
person may have been born to be
a leader, but checking up on great
leaders shows that many have
been developed. This ability can
not be developed by reading about
it. Practice and experience are
essential. Here again we find our
military department furnishing
and being a practice ground for
the builders of our nation, the
leaders cf our civilization.
Thru the military department
the federal government has helped
put many men, the beat kind of
men, thru their last two years in
college, for that advanced military
science student's check, though
small, means a lot to a chap work
ing his way thru school.
If the University of Nebraska
can build an armory with federal
money at the present time, why
should there be any talk against
it? The world will progress, the
faster the better. The disposition
of money has placed temporary
blinders on this progress. If we
can open them a little way by
building an armory, let's do it. It
might be a stepping atone to more
campus buildings.
The national government has not
made it a part of its program to
build libraries for different state
universities for the benefit of the
Intellect of the nation, nor to build
theaters in our leading universities
to raise the standard of drama and
literature in our country, but, our
national leaders have taken over
national defense.
I believe that these national
leaders think that by Hhowlng mil
itary life to the masses as civil
ians, thru the medium of our uni
versities, chose shown will become
the true pacifists and thus peace
will be insured by preparedness. I

Butler Directors
Dismiss President

demanding his resignation, which
was refused, the board of directors
of Butler university this week an
nounced the dismissal of President
Walter Scott Athearn.
The directors had expressed dis
satisfaction with Dr. Athearn's

SUGGESTION.
From Ruth Carsten, home eco
nomics sophomore, came the sug
gestion that the announcement of
speakers for the Vespers meetings
at Ag college on Tuesday noon ap
pear regularly in this column. That
suggestion will be acted upon, and
hereafter Ag women may depend
on regular announcement of Ves
pers speakers and programs.
THE SENIOR JUDGES.
Friday morning the senior judg
ing team, Ray Murrey, Cletus
Reinmiller, George Shadbolt, How
ard White, Leonard Wenzl and
Willard Waldo, and Coach R. R.
Thalman will go to Kansas City to
enter the Intercollegiate contest at
the American Royal Livestock
show.
Fifteen teams will be entered in
the Kansas City show, so that any
honors coming back to Nebraska
will be rightfully earned. The con
test there will include twelve class
es of animals, two classes of fat
cattle and one of breeding cattle;
two classes of fat sheep and one of
breeding sheep; two classes of fat
hogs and one of breeding- hogs; and
two classes of mares and one of
stallions. Additionally the boys will
have to give reasons on eight class
es out of the twelve.
One week after the Kansas City
contest the gang will go to Chicago
for the International Livestock
Show. That contest will be similar
except there will be twenty-two or
twenty-three teams entered, mak
ing the competition keener even
than at Kansas City. Company for
the boys at Chicago will be the
agronomy and the meats teams,
both entered in contests at the In
ternational. The men who will go to Kansas
City on the International Senior
team are well known on the Ag
campus. Every one is a Block and
Bridle Club member. Murrey
served as a member of the Farm
ers' Fair committee. Reinmiller
has been one of the leaders in Ag
college baseball. Shadbolt has been
active in A. H. department activi
ties. The same is true of Leonard
Wenzl. White has headed Ag or
ganizations and is now a member
of the student council. Waldo, a
former member of the Coll-Agri-Fun
committee, is manager of the
show this vear.
These contests will be the last
chance these hoys have to do their
stuff as undergraduate judges.
Perhaps in a few years they will
be the officials.
ON OTHER CAMPUSES.
Anti-war controversy flying
back and forth on the Nebraska
campus is not without its counter
part at other colleges. According
to Associated Press reports, 75
students at Wellesley College, at
wellesley. Mass., parade with the
Anti-W ar placards on Armistice
day.
The student group got into the
parade and trailed along behind
the American Legion waving their
peace banner. When the soldiers
formed for the special Armistice
day services, the anti-war students
demonstration knocked most of the
grandeur out of the ceremony, and
according to the report, the Legion
men "expressed indignation."
on the other side of the Atlantic
ocean similar things were happen
ing at the same time. Students at
Cambridge, England, flaunted "No
More War" banners at an Armis
tice celebration. At Pembroke col
lege the party got the wildest, the
college gang got thoroly pelted
with eggs, and the affair ended up

Still More
Peare.
pKOM the tenor of letters that have been coming
to the oltice, it would seem that the motto of the
Student Pulse correspondents is "strike while the
iron is hit." tor recent subjects ot the communica
tions center about the armory controversy. In a
majority ot cases the subjects are not presented
with any degree ot thoughtfulncss, for the common
tendency is toward violence, abuse and shouting.
Most of these cannot be used.
It is a relief, then, when a contributor gives evi
dence of an attempt at restraint in order to pre
sent a reasoned argument, and altho the Nebraskan
cannot agree with every conclusion expressed, the
communication in today's columns from M. P tails
into the class with the presentable opinions Since
that is the case, some consideration ot the points
M. P. makes would seem to be in ordei.
Those points are, brietl, built on tne fundamen
tal assumption that "preparedness ' is the way to
peace. Under this topic heading, it the thought ot
M. P.'s letter were to be mtiined, come the sub
stantiating arguments that military training is edu
cational because it is productive of 'II discipline,
(2) friendships, (3i leaders.
Considerable difference of opinion on these points
wastiN time and verbiage in the perennial conflicts
between military training advocates and dissenters,
but examination reveals that none ot the three arc
actually concerned with the question at issue, tor
M. P.'s thesis is preparedness as it applies to justi
fication for the erection of an armory on the
campus. And that thesis the Nebraskan cannot
accept, in the face of the ideals ot enlightened no
bility for which the university declares itself to
stand.
with the police settling u free for

Oxford students carried a banner
announcing that "Students Must
Fight War.' At Oxford, Manches
ter and Glasgow it is understood
that students have passed resolu
tions that they will "under no cir
cumstances fight for King or coun
try." The girls at Wellesley college i
have decided not to speak to one
another on the campus. They say
that speaking to the same person
several times a day grows tire
some. News pictures appearing in sev

SIR FRANCIS BACON.
CIR FRANCIS BACON smoothed
the ruff at his throat and said,
"Universities? Indeed, I have
often contemplated the ideal unl-
vnrsitv.
What sort of place would it
he?" I asked.
"A foundation to obtain the
knowledge of causes," he an
swered. "For if you would have
knowledge, vou must know the
inner motion of things."
Then it would not be unlike a
modern research institute," I said.
"You would make scientific dls
eoveries ?"
"And much else besides. Dis
covery is of value to no one unless
it is a boon to mankind. In my
university one would learn how to
cure diseases and prolong life; to
perfect nature by experimenting
with trees, plnnts, and grains; to
master divers mechanical arts; to
understand the functions of light,
and heat, and motion, and sound."
Would there be no time for lit
erature and art?" I asked.
"They, too, would be included,"
he said. "For the student must
take all knowledge for his prov
ince. But the student in my uni
versity must not be content to
compile the knowledge of others,
merelv interpreting it and com
menting on it. He must indulge in
independent discovery."
"I like the sound of that," I
said.
"Indeed," said Bacon. "The stu
dent must find out particular
truths for himself and from them
reason toward general principles."
"This is called the age of
science," I told Bacon. "And yet
there are few universities such as
you suggest. Why is that?"
"The reason," he said, "lies in
man's obsession with his own
small conceits. Knowledge waits
for him who contemplates nature,
and seeks its inner laws. Science
is the road to Utopia."
"You put great faith in
science," I said.
"Yes," said Bacon. "Nothing is
beneath science, nor above it. The
true scientist is the savior of his
people, and universities should
embrace science as their hope and
sustenance."
