CHEER LEADERS NEEDED
Nebraska might have wone the game against Missouri Friday
night' had the team had the support of organized rooting by the
students. Extemporaneous yells were given by the rooters who
were aching to help the team in the fight, but their effectiveness
would have been more than doubled If either of the varsity yell
leaders had been in charge.
If the Innocents elected the cheer leader for the football season
only, another election should be held to choose men who will lead
the rooting for the rest of the basketball games, for track, for
wrestling and for baseball.
If the two cheer leaders were elected for the season, and awarded
sweaters on that basis, then they should be made to feel their
responsibility and should not be missing men when Nebraska is
again in need of them.
THE NEW GYMNASIUM
The pathetic inadequacy of the Armory to contain Nebraska
University students who want to see their basketball team in action
was strikingly illustrated at the two games with Missouri last
week, when every available seat and all standing room was taken
by students eager to get this taste of student life, but who were
hampered by lack of accommodations.
That a new gymnasium will come in the course of time is an
evasion that does not satisfy the present demand of the students.
There Is much to be said on both sides of the question of whether
adequate class room facilities, or adequate facilities for the student's
expression of himself as a social being should be given first con
sideration in the building program
Difficult it is for students to believe that it is more important
that they should have the best facilities for work, than that they
should have adequate room to come in contact with their fellow
students under right conditions so that student happiness and
student health could be k,cpt at the highest point of efficiency.
The social science building, the teachers college high school
and the agricultural engineering building have been put down as
the next buildings to come on the University extension program.
After these buildings should be placed the new gymnasium
and the woman's building. Without them the best recitation rooms
in the world will be much less than of passing efficiency. Student
happiness, student health, and student spirit have a larger part to
play in the student struggle for knowledge than the great class
rooms and laboratories.
The decision of the medical college to make study in military
science a requirement for graduation will probably be opposed by
the pacifist medical students at Omaha, judging from Lincoln
campus experience.
CONSIDER ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Every Uniiversity man and woman should pause a bit today
to consider Abraham Lincoln.
His life is the epic of Americanism. lie was able to do, strong
to will and determined to accomplish, and yet great-hearted Vigh
to think first of others and lastly of himself. -
Forceful as Lincoln is known to hav 'ue'ellf ne jS remembered
today for his gentleness above all e!ri So great wa8 nis faitn jn
things that are good, that the things that are bad lost power to
awe him.
I'l. xyuTlJT ol Lincoln and his life helps one to remember
lhat so many things are fine and so many people are worth while
that tlie rest does not really matter.

Our Daily Thought
The phrase "The joy of living Is in
the joy of giving" Is all right in Its
place but how about the recipient?
If war is declared the position of
army cook would be desirable for
some of these pacifists. They could
hide under the wagon when the bul
lets whizzed by.
P. S. Maybe the shells would
settle the coffee.
I di4 not raise my boy to be a
soldier
I fetched him up to be a pastry
cook,
To tatt and sew on all the but
tons
To drape himself upon the closet
hook.
Et Cetera
I went into the
Cafeteria
The other day
And sat down
Beside a student
To eat my meal.
You are thinking
That I am going
To say that he
Yodeled.
He didn't but he
Had a knife
That acted like the
Original coal shovel.
The dexterity
And proficiency ,
With which he
Balanced baked beans
On the blade
Was awe-inspiring.
It seemed as if
The man
Were taking his
Life in danger
And I interestedly
Watched to see
If his hand shook
Because if it had
Th" knife would have
Sapped.
And then I
Wondered why
A man in the
Pursuit of culture
Could not have the
Opportunity to
Learn the ways of the world
So that he would not
At least
Dissect his meal
And his mouth
With his knife.
