COLLEGE GIRLS AND DISH WASHING
This proposal that has come from Omaha, that college girls volun
teer to go upon farms during the heavy work season, and help the
farmer's wife by washing dishes, cooking and serving meals to the
men who are harvesting the crops, has -many interesting possibilities.
It offers at once an acid test of a girl's willingness to sacrifice to help
the nation's cause along providing a real need'for such help is felt.
One of the faculty women remarked not long ago that the selec
tive draft for the men should be pushed a step further, and made to
include the women also. She suggested that the girls who are quite
ready to join the bandage circle, or the woman's naval reserve, or
similar organizations where the work had a romantic appeal, might
shrink from any real labor that was not spectacular, or fashionable,
or the subject of head-line stories in the newsppaers. She mentioned
real work with a hoe in the dirt of a garden might not be considered
at all desirable by the girl who will sell tags, or roll bandages, or knit
mufflers.
It may be that no very urgent call will be sent out for girls to .
wash dishes, for the farmer's wife has a habit of doing things and
saying little about the labor of them. It Is a question, however,
whether the majority of American women have yet reached that com
plete understanding of all that is involved in winning the war that
would make them willing to do the unpoetic, unsung, menial labor
that is suggested In dish washing.
THE RED CROSS CONVOCATION
Too much cannot be said about the importance of the Red Cross
work, and the necessity of every student of the University enlisting
in this society this week. Because it is doing such an important work,
and will be called upon to do a much more important work when
American men are being shot down on European battle fields, anything
less than a crowded hall for the Red Cross convocation this morning
will be a reflection upon the University. Students who can possibly
arrange their time to go, should do so.
Mr. Hardy, the chairman of the Lincoln Red Cross, and Mr. Bur
nett of Denver, of the national organization, will be the speakers.
They have a message that will make its appeal to everyone. Let it be
hoped that the students do not slight this splendid work, and prove
their own lack of capacity to appreciate the worth-whileness of it, by
staying away from the convocation.
The Stuff That Makes
Nebraska Great
Dear Sir:
This is the sort of stuff that makes
Nebraska great.
That boy Owen deserves the con
gratulations of every Cornhusker.
I don't know who he is, but I hope
to meet him some day. You under
grads should be proud to have such
a fellow student.
Yours,
SAM R. BUCK.
