A The Cornhusker Maiwiuet is to do honor to the football team and llir record of the season. To bring out true Nebraska spirit In men, to show all students that there is a great, it common univei sit y spirit underhm. their work ol the ear and super' edih. their societx and frateiuity spiiit Q.. -Wh. then, did the most notice able i pres-iou of spnit of the ban qnet Satunla night consist In a form of lowdyism which took no stock in the dignilled purpose ol the banquet? A- llecause the men mis-interpreted the purpose. Hecause they allowed their conceptions ol a "good time" to run riot, and (allied to an extreme the 111 timed suggestions of a few. And because the element of leadership which necessarily belongs with affairs of this kind was lacking. One cannot help looking back on the Cornhusker banquet without a va riety of emotions.

Football victories, debate results, student dramatics and the control of organizations have their influence. Hut the influence exerted by this gathering of men, when marred by such an evidence of common-ism (not democracy), can put to naught the helpful Influences of several other forces. The blame, should there be any, cnn only be laid upon the Btudent con sciousnessrather an Intangible thing. There should be a student sentiment which would voluntarily squelch false spiiit There was such a sentiment In the majority of cases, but the old case of the minority overriding the majority held good The banquet was a suc cess because of the dual expression of this real spirit. Mut unfortunately It was a composite of good and bad which was evolved. The real spirit underl.ing the whole, and which must exist it Cornhusker works are to en dure the test of time, had to be de duced fiom the mixture i BIG NINE NOT TEN. i The action of the representative-, as seinhlod for the meeting or the West-1 cm Conference Satin day leaves the Missouii 'alle and the Hig Nine sit . nation unchanged Nebraska is not affected, one way or the other Need less to s.i the hopes ol Nebra-ka stu dents and alumni weie running high, In the possible event of Nebraska's admission to the conference higher, "P Hut the athletic authorities and the student- likewise have always held ! to the opinion that the Missouri Valle Conference' presents worth competi tors.
