whelmingly endorsed by vote of the

PREPAREDNESS SPIRIT OF THE
CADETS MADE KNOWN
A Bon-Fire and Wienie Roast on the
Campus Topped of Evening's
Celebration

rade last night and thereby hangs a
tale. In fact, the historic shirt-tail
parade again made Lincoln citizens
aware ofthe fact that at the state
university preparedness for defending
this nation is receiving its due share
of attention. Three hundred and fifty
cadets paraded the streets with their
shirt appendages swung to the
breezes, went through the principal
hotels, stopped at some of the soda
dispensaries, and entered places of
amusement.
With the band in front, and Cap-
leading the procession, th.3 parade lert
the university armory at 7:30 last
evening. The men wound through the
downtown business district, snake-
dancing to the tunes of the relnvlg
orated band that had blown o val
iantly all afternoon. Cornhusker yeela
and songs, company yells, and Just
common ordinary Joy whoops were
sent up to the heavens by the uni
versity soldiers.
Welcomed Downtown
In the business district a warm wel
come was found on nearly every hand.
The Lindell and Lincoln hotels were
visited, the former serving punch.
The theatres, Orpheum, Oliver and
Lyric, were seized in turn, and the
cadets paraded across the stages be
fore the admiring and applauding au
diences, and the indulgent smiles of
the actors. Some of the drug stores
were entered, and Wilson's and Pil
ler's showed their good feeling by
giving refreshments of punch at the
former and sandwiches at the latter.
The Lincoln Traction company con
tributed its share to the fun in the
way of trolley-grabbing, and rare was
the car that found- its way down O
street while the cadets were near,
that kept its trolley on the deadly
third rail.
On Nebraska Field.
When enough noise had been manu
factured downtown and all the fun

Foreign Labor
Opposed to
Student Council
Unexpected opposition to the Stu
dent Council developed yesterday
morning on the part of the few labor
ers at work on the Bessey building.
The man carrying the sign announc
ing the voting place for the Student
Council election strayed over to the
building where a few foreigners were
at work. The laborers saw the sign,
and being unable to read the legend it
bore, they thought he was one of the
strikers. The gang started to "get'
the sign carried, but he managed to
escape safely and to continue his
rounds in security.
