MONDAY, APRIL 26. 1915 THE FORUM Now that a week has passed since the meeting of the -Athletic Board . which decided to install new tennis courts at the University of 'Nebraska and repair the two existing ones, and 6ince nothing has been done towards this laudable undertaking, the stu dents are wondering if the decision reached by this board was simply talk. If Nebraska has one line of athletics which has been neglected it is tennis. A brief comparison with other schools will easily prove this. Ames has six teen good clay courts for exclusive use of students, Kansas has at least twelve, Iowa has fifteen, Oklahoma has fourteen and Chicago has thirty-four. And then Wesleyan, located in east Lincoln, has six courts in excellent condition, Cotner even has two courts in much better shaps than Nebraska and the other minor schools of Ne braska rank in like proportion. Is this not a situation of which our University may well be ashamed! And again the Missouri Valley Tournament is to be held in Lincoln this year and has been scheduled for the Country Club. Of course this is all right, since the students have plenty of time to travel a few miles to see their team play other players who have the ad vantage of better courts, systematic coaching, and but what's the use. It is time that the students interested in this greatest of minor sports should rise in their might and insist upon at least a fair consideration. t It remains to be seen what further action, if any, the Athletic Board chose to take. Suffice it to say, that at least one hundred students are anxiously awaiting their decision. E. S. "Is there no such thing as Amer ican patriotism?" That is the broad, general question that Mr. Burton S. Hill fires at the student body in his Forum article in Wednesday's Daily Nebraskan. Mr. Hill doesn't tell us what HE thinks is the answer to this unusual question, but he does tell us what "one would think," and he tells us why one would think so. "One," says Mr. Hill, "would think not." We eagerly search the record for a state ment of the circumstances that have A VERY LARGE percentage of all headaches are directly due to defective vision HALLETT Registered Optometrist can give you relief Est. 1871 1143 O forced "One" to arrive at this dread ful and pessimistic conclusion and we find that a crowd of spectators at a cadet parade on Nebrnska Field failed to rise when the band played "The Star Spangled Banner." Before going farther let it be clearly understood that this article is not in tended as an argument against any form of patriotism. Neither is it a denial of the proposition that "there is no such thing as American patriot ism." Its sole purpose is to call at tention to the palpable unfairness of anyone, whether a "fair-minded Amer ican" or not, who boldly asumes, even in the hidden recestet. of his own mind, that America is devoid of patriotism simply because a few people in the center of America, hun dreds of miles from the nearest bor der, fail to perform a purely manual act which Congress has deemed it ex pedient to require of those employed in the nation's military service, and which certain enthusiasts I hesitate to use the term "fanatic" have sug gested as a cheap and simply way in which civilians may indicate their loyalty for their country To con clude, from these premises, that there is no such thing as American patriotism," one must assume that the only way in which patriotism can be manifested is by standing while "The Star Spangled Banner" is being played, or by "saluting the colors." One must also assume that the atti tude of the spectators at the cadet parade on Nebraska Field is the exact attitude of all Americans, "fair-minded" or otherwise, and that that atti tude is absolutely unpatriotic or at least non-patriotic. Furthermore, if one is to accept as true the astonish- ine conclusion that Mr. Hill has told us about, one is compelled to assume I that those few who did stand were. not Americans at all, and still further, I that there are no fair-minded Amer icans extant since no one would do that which he considered a "disgrace, and no small one." Mr. Hill's clever thrust at peace fanatics we pass with the single com ment that FANATICS are almost cer tain to be disagreeable, and we close with this question ' for Mr. Hill: If these acts of "saluting" or "standing" are indications of patriotism and therefor good, why should there be any reason for abandoning them after the army and navy has been done away with?
