OMAHA'S INVITATION
Three cheers for Omaha. She has
always been a consistent booster for
the U. of N. And now she invites the
whole student body within her portals
to see what she is doing for the state.
Will we go? The grind will confine
himself to his books on that day, per
haps. And those in love may stay at
home to wander In the parks and
lanes. Or, maybe, the penurious will
forget the occasion as an unnecessary
expense. But the real live students,
the men and women who have the
Interests of Nebraska at heart, those
who desire greater and better things
for the state, will be there in great
numbers.
Yes, Omaha, we are coming.
THAT BEAUTY SECTION
The action of the girls in refusing
to promote a beauty section in the
Cornhusker is a step in the right di
rection. The only people who are
ever satisfied with such a section are
those elected to a place in it. Among
others it creates Jealousy and disgust.
It may lend class to the book, but
the student body will readily sacrifice
this to prevent the ill-will which al
ways grows out of the selections.
...ii-rintl imuve crimp"
We have received for publication in
the Forum a letter signed "Phys.
Stude." The matter treated therein
Is important and the idea highly com
mendable. But the rules say that we
cannot print any letter unless we
know who wrote it. If the author will
tell us who he is, therefore, we will
gladly publish his ideas. We guaran
tee to keep his name secret. We
trust that he will report, because he
speaks of a matter which is deserv
ing of public attention.

THE

The preliminaries of the girls' bas

the freshman team, and Margaret An
derson for the sophomores. The
Juniors and seniors will elect their

I heartily thank all the juniors who
so loyally supported me at the polls

1917 Cornhusker. Charles M. Frey.

Why They Fall
Robert Louis Stevenson was never
successful as a playwright, although
hla novels show wonderful dramatic
possibilities. Why? Because he never
took the drama seriously, never really
knew the requirements of the stage.
In fact, he never went to the theatre
until he was 24.
It's much the same case as the Har
vard man who has never been farther
west than Rochester and who wonders
why his stories on western life of the
plains, which he culled from an ency
clopedia, are never accepted by tho
magazine editors.
Km rollfice graduates can traoe i
their failure back to this same atti-(
tuue. iney iosb iuui;u wim mo nnu
while in college, they create an arti
ficial life which they seem to think
the world will be glad to adjust its
manners to. When they have received
their degrees.they are as strangers
in a foreign land. They seem to for
get that perhaps the world outside is
slightly different than the little world
which they have manufactured tor
themselves.
They don't know the world, as Rob
ert Louis Stevenson didn't know tl:e
theatre, as the Harvard man didn't
know the west. Hence, they fail-

Baylor
The Longhorns invaded the den of
the Bears and marched away with a
score of 44 to 22 in favor of the
Texas five. Togie Harrell played with
a dash and speed that evne Pete
Edmond could not check.
The Baylor Bears next traveled to
Austin and again braved the stam
pede of the heavy Longhorns, meet
ing a second defeat by a score of 22
to 9.
From Austin the Bears sallied to
Houston, the roosting place of the
Rice Owls; and when the feathers and
fur settled after the conflict, the score
stood in favor of the Rice basketeers
by 35 to 19.
The still fighting Bears lost also
the second game of the Rice series,
having a score of 34 to 15 chalked
up against them. Brown, Wilson and
Thompson starred for Baylor, while
Kingsland and Kalb did superior work
for the Owls.
Baylor won the first soccer game
from the Dallas Athletics by a score
of 2 to 0. The game was of intense
Interest to the spectators because of
the open character of the game, which
allowed every play to be clearly seen
from the sidelines.
