Just What is
School Spirit?
F "School spirit" is grainiiuirirally a trite
expression as is the plira.se, "the student
body." However trite the two may he, they
embody, when joined together, just what the
University o Nebraska seems to lack a stu
dent body with school spirit.
To the average student, "school spirit"
means a rally before a football game, an op
portunity to vociferously pronounce his loyalty
to, and affection for the university, and an
escape from the daily routine of classes. But
is this school spirit? And if such antics are not
school spirit, just what is it?
Sunday afternoon the Honorable 1J. G. Sim
mons of the Nebraska Supreme court, deliv
ered the annual ('barter Day address in the
Student Union ballroom. Last year the ad
dress was made in the coliseum, but because
of the small attendance it was decided this
year to hold the Charter Day festivities in
the Union ballroom. Approximately .'500 per
sons heard Judjre Simmons, which is about
5-18 of the regularly enrolled students and not
even equal a figure to the number of faculty
members employed by the university.
Certainly school spirit is exemplified by
attendance and enjoyment of the well planned
program honoring the genesis of the Univer
sity of Nebraska. Regular attendance of
classes and faithful devotion to study is also
a part of school spirit. And further, the de
sire for knowledge for the promotion of one
self, his state, and his nation is also a part of
school spirit.
This school feeling cannot be generated by
publicity, band music, or by the "rah rahs'
of eavorling cheerleaders. It is a combination
of stud' and play, respect and reverence,
honor and devotion to an institution founded
for the realization of one hope your better
ment. Thus, school spirit resolves itself into a
cooperative effort between the university and
the student the university is dedicated to the
intellectual advancement of the student and
the student is dedicated to the intellectual ad
vancement of himself. The student's expres
sion of appreciation for the time and effort
spent in his behalf is school spirit.

Faculty members met Oct. 8, 1917 to form an
University of Nebraska to help in every way pos
sible with the successful carrying on of the war.
Chancellor Samuel Avery was named honorary
president with Prof. J. E. Le Rossignol serving as
acting president.
"Buying liberty bonds is one thing," the chan
cellor said, "in which the league can help. In food
conservation we can also be of service by conserv
ing especially those articles of exports needed by
the allied and the United States soldiers wheat,
meat, sugar."
Prof. Blanche Grant suggested that Nebraska
send a hospital unit to aid the stricken civilians in
the war zone of France. Large numbers were with
out professional medical assistance.
As a result of a conference of state officials and
educators at the Lincoln hotel Oct. 10 a move was
under way to close the schools of the state includ
ing the university for a period of three weeks be
ginning Oct. 27 to allow students to aid in the hat
vesting of Nebraska's mammoth corn crop.
All instructors distributed questionnaires among
men students asking them to give information
whether the plan met with the approbation of the
students as a whole.
Three-fourths of the men preferred that school
continue as usual and that they be given help for
any work they would miss by leaving school.
No Soap
By Marsa Lee Civin.
This is a very clean love story.
Once upon a time (that's the way
all conventional stories begin I
there lived in the kingdom of
Soapsavania Lifebuoy and Camay,
two cakes of soap. Beth of them
loved Olive. Of the two, Camay
stood higher in her affections be
cause he was more ambitious.
h,lsuu x was coiiieni 10 lei
things DREFT along. One day
LIFEBUOY approached CAMAY
paying, "We both LAV-A girl
named OLIVE. Let's see who can
Vin her. Ill try first."
So her little lriend went to her
home and said,
"HI babe! May I hold your
FALM, OLIVE?"
"Not on your LIFE, BUOY!"
Squelched and hurt to the core,
LIFEBUOY returned to CAMAY
and told him to try his luck. When
CAMAY confronted OLIVE, he
found that she had somewhat of a
cold.
"What's the matter, OLIVE?"
Simmons . . .
(Continued from Page 1.)
that the university was chartered
two years after Nebraska became
a state, the speaker declared.
"We have behind us the herit
age of a great people of unflinch
ing courage, high character, and
determined purpose. The univer
sity haa contributed much to this
birthright. The irreslstable spirit
of a great people lives in us. That
power, guided by their eternal
faith, must again direct the ener
gies and abilities and resources
that are ours in the great tasks
that He ahead," he said in closing.
Chancellor Boucher presided at
the convocation and the Rev. L.
W. McMillin pronounced the invo
cation. The university symphony
orcnestra under the direction of
Emanuel Wishnow slaved several
numbers, with the audience join
ing m me singing of "America the
Beautiful,'' ,
"I got a code in by hed."
"OLIVE, my love," said he, "If
thee will wed thyself to I, me will
build those a marvelous CASTLE"
(hey youse guys can the chater).
Oh, CA-BAY You TRIL-BY to
death!"
RINSO they were married.
When LIFEBUOY heard about
it, he was bitter.
"Well, I SWAN." " he said. "I
could kill myself! But, if I did,
they WOOD-BURY me. That's
just my LUX!"
And that my kiddies is the tale
of several sincere soapsters who
raised eight little bars.
