Beat Notre Dame.
Nebraska will win from Notre Dame Thanksgiving day if Ne
braska wants to. Fifty per cent of the chance to win lies with the
student body, the other fifty per cent with the team.
The last football rally of the season will he held in the Armory,
this morning at 11:30 o'clock. It is going to be the real thing in
rallies the latest "dope" on both teams, speeches by the members
of the team, and the coach, the band, all that.
It will be more. It will be the beginning of Notre Dame's defeat.
The game begins at 11:30 today, and at 11:32, there won't be standing
room in Memorial hall.
The responsibility of the success of the game rests with each
individual in this institution. We lost to Kansas when we should have
won, but we won't lose to Notre Dame, when we should win.
Go fifty-fifty with the team beat Notre Dame.
Tonight, more than half of the students at Nebraska will go home
for Thanksgiving vacation, turkey, four kinds of pie, and adoring fami
lies. European students are starving to death on greasy soup and
dry black bread, they are losing their minds for want of reading
matter, and they have no idea of when they will see their families
again.
If we can do some small thing to help the men in European war
prisons this holiday season will have more value for each of us. The
Thanksgiving clay will be happier because of the opportunity taken to
help suffering humanity.
If you go to "the movie" with your "best girl" once a week, that
costs thirty cents. You eat afterwards, that costs thirty cents, making
a total of sixty cents. You have had a shine beforehand sixty-five
cents, carfare for six rides is twenty-five cents. All this counts up to
ninety cents.
This proceeding comes at least once a week for nearly every man
on the campus. Ninety cents a week for six weeks would add more
than five dollars to the European relief fund and would feed one
prisoner of war for a month.

BEING A CROSS-SECTION OF
A THEME READER'S MIND
(With apologies to Walt Whitman)
What do you see, theme reader?
I see words misspelled, punctuation
marks misplaced, and sentences end
ing without periods:
I see changes in tense, violations of
idiom, singular verbs with plural sub
jects; I see quotations without quotation
marks, posRessives without apos
trophes, all right in one word.
I see sentences that are not sen
tences, and paragraphs that are not
paragrphs;
I see Redundance, Repetition, Tauto
logy, and Pleonasm;
I see errors of Grammar and errors
of Rhetoric.
I see changes of number, of person,
of point-of-view;
I see Improprieties, Barbarisms, Vul
garisms, Euphemisms, words that
are not Reputable, National, and Pres
ent.
I see irregular indentation, soiled
manuscripts, t's uncrossed, i's un
dotted; I see ie and el everlastingly con
fused. I see double negatives, squinting
modifiers, and participles that dangle;
I see articles omitted, and preposi
tions omitted, and comparisons un
completed; I see Reformed Spelling.
I see adverbs misplaced, and phrases
misplaced, and clauses misplaced;
I see stringy constructions, dangling
elliptical clauses, and anachronous
participles;
I see split Infinitives, remote antece
dents, adjectives used for adverbs,
the misuse of shall and will;
I see hackneyed allusions, triteness,
fine writing, and overworked formulas.
I see the comma fault, the so habit,
false parallelism, illogical co-ordination;
I see principal and principle, except
and accept, lose and loose, constantly
confused;
I do not see Unity, Emphasis, or Co
herence. M. II. W. '14.
