CORNHUSKER BANQUET FOR FORT SNELLING MEN
In timos gone by it was the custom of University men each year,
to honor the men who had fought through football battles for their
Alma .Mater, by giving them a Cornhusker banquet. It was a tribute
to the service of these men for their school, for the Scarlet and Cream.
Xow it is proposed to give the University men at Fort Snelling
a Cornhusker banquet, for they are going to fight through greater
battles, and give a greater service, not only for their Alma Mater,
but for their nation. It is fitting that this should be done.
No cause has been brought before tin1 University this year, asking
for the financial co-operation of the students, which makes an appeal
quite so intimate as this one. Not a student on the campus but who
does not know many of the men who will be the University's guests
at this banquet. Not a student but who has suffered a loss in the
departure of some close friend at the call of patriotic duty. Not a
student, but who feels that these men are making a sacrifice that i.i
bringing far more renown to Nebraska than was ever made upon
gridiron.
It is said that Nebraska University has more students and alumni
at Fort Snelling than any other university In the district embracing this
camp. However that may be, Nebraska University feels that her men
will be the leaders in every cause for good at that camp, and will be
the first to respond to every call for unselfish service that is made.
It is well that the students still in school are planning to recognize
this service of the men at Fort Snelling. That banquet will have
far-reaching results. Its immediate effect for the men will be good.
It will bring the Nebraska men closer together. It will get the Ne
braska alumni in Minneapolis and St. Paul acquainted with the men.
It will bind the alumni closer to the University. It will bind the men
in the camp more firmly to their school and their state. It will give
them many a pleasant reminiscence in times when they may be in
pain on a foreign soil.
The call is to every student, every alumnus,, every loyal Ne
braskan. Help make that event in Minneapolis one long to be remem
bered by the Nebraska University and Nebraska men.
DEAN POUND FOR COMMENCEMENT
If anything could make up for the loss of General Pershing as
commencement speaker this year, it is the announcement that Dean
Roscoe round of the Harvard law school will deliver the address.
For Dean Pound is even more of a Cornhusker than General Pershing
was, and he is one whose career the University lias watched with the
anxious eye of a parent, proud of the achievements of a worthy son.
We do not know yet, what message Dean Pound will bring to the
University when he coiws in June. The event will be a memorable one,
not only because of the war situation, but also because of the celebra
tion of Nebraska's semi-centennial. It goes without saying 'hat the
speaker will be equal to the occasion.
STAY FOR COMMENCEMENT WEEK
Usually students who are not going to wear the cap and gown and
get their desn-ets on commencement day, hurry home as soon as they
finish their last examination. This year, however, the student who
does that will miss one of the greatest events in the history of the
state.
Nebraska will celebrate her fiftieth anniversary as a state, during
commencement week. Distinguished men from all over the nation will
be here, the first of whom, of course, former President Roosevelt.
The pageant of 1917 will be staged, and the University will have as com
mencement speaker, Roscoe Pound of Harvard. All who can possibly
do so, should plan to be in Lincoln during the celebration week.

j "Rcoze," says a commander of a
I northern training camp, "is not go-
ing to handicap the brains of this
camp. Every young man owes the
best that is in him. He is to com
mand men, and should, therefore,
make himself fit to command by living
an exemplary life and by avoiding
every form of liquor and narcotic.
Manhood is to have its test, and I
am to see that every brain is unclouded
and every muscl unasleep. This shall
i be rigidly observed In the camp.'f
j Would not this logic apply in peace
as well as war times? Ex.

MRS. BARKLEY TO SPEAK
TO SUFFRAGE CLUB
(Continued from Page 1)
The meeting will be sliort but it is
a very important one. Emphasis will

must register. The club wishes tho
women to ebplias ize in their home com-
tn unities the importance of every wom

way will entire suffrage be secured.
Advice
The wise man is waiting until the
fields of government service are" fully
organized. A leap in the dark, and
enlistment before the officials in
Washington have their war plans fully
developed, is a blind move and carries
with it more than an even chance of a
sad disappointment. Amherst Student.
Military Training
Military training for girls of Okla
homa was defeated by the enormous
vote of 200 to 0. The leader of the
opposition to the measure gave three
reasons why they should vote it down.
First, military training for women is
absolutely absurd; second, it is utter
ly useless; third, it is absolutely im
practical. This is making the girls
the laughing stock of the campus. The
men feel that it is a burlesque on their
drill. Ex.
