Entered at the postoffice at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 8, 1879.
A mass meeting to protest against allegedcompulsory drill has
been scheduled for this evening at 8 o'clock in the Lindell hotel. At
tendance of this meeting and the participation in any protest is the
plain tcknowledgment of ignorance of the rules of the University of
Nebraska, as they are printed in the annual catalog.
There are plenty of men who have graduated from the University
who have never had a day of drill work in their lives. Reprieves are
given to tnyone for physical disability, religious scruples and other
plausible excuses. Gymnastic training can be substituted for the ex
cused military drill.
The so-called protest" is ridiculuos, and an uncalled-for demon
stration of would-be alarmists.
There are many men who would prefer not to take military drill,
but insomuch as it is a requirement, it would seem to be the sensible
thing to accept it as it stands. Moreover it is approved by the United
States government and encouraged by men who are broad-minded, fair
and interested in the best outcome of any enterprise that influences
the lives of citizens of this country. There are a great many things
in this world that we have thrust upon us aganist our especial will,
but the best thing to do is to take them as they come, and to look a
little farther than our own personal whims.
IT ISNT YOUR SCHOOL IT'S YOU
If you want to live in the kind of a school
That's the kind of a school you like.
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll find elsewhere what you left behind.
For there's nothing that's really new;
It's a knock at yourself "when you knock the school;
It isn't your school it's you.
Real schools are not made by men Efraid,
Lest somebody else gets ahead; -Wheu
everyone works and no one shirks.
You can raise a school from the dead.
And if you make your personal stake
Your neighbor can make one, too;
Your school will be what you want to see
It isn't your school it's you.
Arizona Wildcat.
"It isn't your school it's you." How well the sentiment in the
poem above fits the shoe at Nebraska! "There's nothing that's really
new, you'll find elsewhere what you left behind." So develop a content
within yourself, an appreciation of your advantages.
"It's a knock at yourself when you knock the school." for you can
always hear the noise of a knock, and it always-burts.
"Rc-al schools are not made by men afraid lest somebody else gets
ahead," so forpet your petty jealousies and fears and come out like men
and women and do just a little more than your share of the work, and
forget a little more than your share of the reward.
"And if you make our personal stake, your neighbor can make
one too." Help your neighbor to make his stake. Don't stand in his
way, but work for him and be glad with him whether he wins or loses.
"Your schools will be what you want to see. it isn't your school
it's you."
The man who wrote the poem had the right idea. Think it over.
FORUM
To the Editor:
It would be manifestly unfair to the
opinions held by those in favor of the
present system of military training iu
the University to let the preceding
article remain unanswered.
The signers to the article suggest
gymnastic training as a substitute for
military drill. Since this is already
provided in the University, it is to be
inferred that they want compulsory
gymnastic work in place of compul
sory military work. Now Uon't allow
yourself' to believe that these parties
have any more respect for compul
sory gymnastics than compulsory drill.
Not one of 'the signers ever made an
athletic team in the University a ;d
only a few of them ever donned a
"gym" salt. Their situation is much
similar to the high school lad who has
never tiad a language, but can tell you
all the reasons in the world why he
should not take Latin.
The military department has never
interferred with these men, and their
pursuit of studies without "gym" work
military drill or the like is strictly'
their privilege. But befce they con
demn the military department simply
because of the alleged compulsion they
should provide a substitute for the
$100,000 revenue from the federal
government. Their court of complaint
is the United States congress and not
local antagonism to a good cause.
