We always knew there was a school spirit at Nebraska, but we never
thought it was what it is! Since midnight Sunday horns have been tootinp,
drums beating, mobs running, classes dismissing, and lungs bellowing the
cheer and enthusiasm that celebrate the accepttance of the bid to play Stan
ford's undefeated Indians in the Rose Bowl.
But, don't let a good thing go too far! Doan Thompson appealed to stu
dents in social sciences yesterday, but retired after the enthusiastic audience
three-cheered him. . .and after his words bounced off their skulls like so many
golf balls.
Sure! "We're all glad that Xew Year's will be spent in California. We're
all proud of a football team that earned such a glorious reward. But lot's
not forget that this hysteria must be short-lived; let's not forget that this
school is still an educational institution, dedicated to the development of
mind and intellect, to the task of turning out leaders among the citizenry, to
turning out capable ana skiiiea capiams m '"""ji v" "u"u"'B m- Mate
and its youth. This university is an institution that will live long after its
3940 football team has been forgotten because it has something more than
football to sustain it.
We urge, that all of yon reflect for a moment and resolve that ycur
enthusiasm won't go too far. Remember, this school cannot remain great
because of its football team, proud as we are of it. The football players
themselves know that.
Classes yesterday were dismissed more often than they were held. To
day, there should be none of that, or tomorrow or the next day. Yesterday
was rally day. It was inevitable. Today, we go to school.
Again, we're as happy about the whole thing as any of you. To play in
the Rose Bowl is a distinct honor and the sophisticated attitude of those wh'
would say we are foolish to accept such a bid is wrong... if we remember
that football is secondary to anything concerning the academic makeup oE
Nebraska University.
So long as we realize what makes this university great, we can howl
down the sophisticates. Once we get to thinking that football makes it tick,
we lose our argument ... and deserve to lose it.

OKAY M'LEMORE.
Henry McLemore, writer of
some fame who has long been the
bug in the intment of sincerity on
sundry sport pages, is in town.
But he's busy. He would like to,
but he just wouldn't see how he
would have time to write a guest
column for this sheet. "Go ahead
and write it for me," he said. So
like a hat, we're going on a head.
By Henry McLemore.
(via Spirit Writer Petersen).
Shakespeare, Tony G a 1 e n t o,
Iicnry McLemore or some soul in
that category once said, "It takes
sports, the love of knowing the in
side about the outside, that brings
the man out in a man." I have
serious doubt of such a statement,
especially if it was McLemore who
uttered same, because of one case
which I have in mind.
I have a relative, a chump whose
ancestors came over on the May
flower (that was before HTe im
migration laws became strict) who
could be called a male but cer
tainly not a man. He was the
type of a chap who wouldn't look
for a collar button because it
gave him the creeps, who tf sit
ting in an audience would sing if
the organist asked him to, who
was so conceited that if he was
half the man he thought he was
he would be twins. Besides that,
you couldn't go near him.
So I decided to take him sport
ing, hunting, to bring out the man
in him. So we shouldered our
trusty duck rifles, which weren't
so trusty because we had whittled
them out of old railroad spikes,
and went hunting.
It was cold sitting out there in
the blind, and the man without me
began to retire. This sport was
driving the man back into me in-

system for forensic
honor Thursday night

Professor H. A. White, in charge
of the debates, urged that "If, for
some reason, you have signed up
to debate and cannot appear, let
me know about it before Thurs
day night,"
stead of leaving it out. And the
relative wasn't improving. Be
sides that, there was only one
duck and he was so old that Joe
Penner had retired him on social
security, three years hence.

of it. Now I, too, wont look for
a collar button; I, too, now stand
to sing when the organist asks
me; and I, too, am a boresome

driven back into me. Now I can't
even be rated as a special delivery

Truck loses its cargo:
students get new spirit
During the rally yesterday
morning, about a dozen cheerful
students clambered aboard the
back of an open beer truck. Pun
was at fever-pitch. The driver of
the truck later discovered that
several half-gallon bottles of his
cargo had disappeared. News
flash About a dozen students
yesterday were reported to be en
joying the rally just slightly more
than the rest of the crowd.
We're mighty
proud of you,
