Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln,
Nebraska, as second-class mail matter
under the act of Congress of March 3,
1S79.
There's a great day coming by and
by. Down in Kansas they feel the
same way about it, only they take a
different point of view. Cornhuskers
feel that Saturday is the day they
have been longing for for a weary
year the day when Nebraska is to be
revenged for her disgraceful defeat
last fall. Kansas looks forward to the
coming week-end as the time when
the Jayhawks are going to make his
tory by defeating Nebraska two games
in succession. Which is right? Only
time will tell, but in the meantime we
can strengthen our point of view by
giving the team true support. Those
who can should make the trip to
Kansas, and all should be at the sta
tion Thursday evening when the gang
leaves for the enemy's country.
Freshman caps have been more in
evidence since the Olympics, as they
should be. According to University
tradition freshmen should wear either
a green skull cap or toque indefinitely
in case his class failed to win the
contest for supremacy. Because the
word toque was impossible from a fin
ancial point of view, only the skull
caps has been provided and it is out
of the question to ask the first-year
men to mear these flumsy topknots af
ter cold weather sets in. It has been
decided that the caps should be worn
every day until Thanksgiving that
freshmen present at the Syracuse
game should have their caps on for the
last time. After that they may be
stored away as a relic of the first Jew
stormy, but never-to-be-forgotten days
of college life.
The Nebraskan infers from the re
port made by the senate committee
on holidays and recesses that the fate
of a number of University festival
days has been brought up for decision.
This is in accordance with the desire
of the University authorities to close
college as early as possible in the
spring in order to free students for
farm and industrial work in connec
tion with the war. The question that
comes to mind is, will the sacrifice of
as many of these ho'idays as the com
mittee would deem wise, really make
enough difference in the date of com
mencement to drop any of them?
This question seems all the more im
portant when we bring into considera
tion the value of these holidays in the
University life. Ivy day, for instance,
is the one day set aside for the ob
servance of the traditions of Nebraska
and this holiday, at least, would seem
to be more important than the twenty
four hours its abolishment would
shorten the University time-schedule.
The Y. M. C. A. war work fund
places Nebraska University for the
first time since the beginning of the
war up for Judgment. It is the first
time that the University has been
asked to subscribe a stated amount
for support in the war. The student
body has been canvassed more or less
regularly for the Red Cross, for the
French Orphan fund, for the Serbian
Relief fund, and for the Prison Relief
fund, and we have given, more or less
spasmodically, as we were moved by
the impulse of the moment. But we
now face a different situation. The
state of Nebraska has agreed to raise
a certain amount to provide for the
moral care of the American army,
through the " M. C. A. and Nebraska
University, ai .he head of the educa
tional system and one of the Institu
tions vitally interested In the welfare
of the personnel of the army, has been
apportioned $15,000 of the amount as
her share to contribute. This is not
what it is hoped she might give, but
what she is expected to give, what she
must give if she is fully to do her duty.
And how has she responded? So far
only half-heartedly; only $7,000 has
been raised. The time for the cam
paign to close is near at hand, and
Nebraska has but a little while yet
to make good. Is she to fall down
on the first real task that has been
assigned her? Is she to Ignore the
opportunity to provide moral care and
spiritual comfort to her sons now ex
periencing the longest and severest
trial that men can go through? If she
is not to be found lacking she must
dig down into her pockets today.
INSTEAD OF LIQUOR
(Daily I Mini)
"Somethin' in Place o' Likker" is
what A. M. Chessley, an American sol
dier, terms the Y. M. C. A. huts in
France. He is with the American
troops "somewhere in France" and
tells from first-hand experience what
the Y. M. C. A. is doing. His story
speaks for itself.
"Join the army and see the world,"
I jokingly remarked to the young sol
dier prisoner who had been detailed
to help me set up the Y. M. C. A.
camp.
He was from the south. He let go
about a quart of liquid army plug be
fore he drawled:
"Haow'n Hail yeh goin' tuh see the
world when you're in the gaard haouse
all the time?"
I was foolish enough to suggest that
it h out t k. .v. .. .
iug uwtc me gaard
haouse" doors wouldn't yawn for him.
"Oh, now, that's foolish talk." he
said. "Hev ye been here long? I
swear they hain't a damn thing to do
cept watch it rain."
"You drill ten hours a day. Aren't
you tired at night? I knew the an
swer. I wanted to hear him say it.
"Tired yes. Tired o bein' dmv all
day. What I objec' to is they hain't
got nawthin fit to drink. This vine
gar (what the soldier calis the French
wnite wine) ain't no good. Takes too
much to get the effect."
I continued my probine. We werp
replacing some lumber preparatory to
the erection of our hut.
What is there that could takp th
place of getting drunk when vou feel
that way?" I asked.
"Nawthin', when yuh need it." He
paused." But I tell ye. If a feller
can have his tobaccy and have sump'n
to think about 'cep'n mud and drill
an' gettin' the devil he can keep so
ber a tolble long time."
I had no insignia on my clothing
denoting that I was a Y. M. C. A. man.
We were rushed to the front wearing
a sweet smile and, I hope, a willing
spirit.
"Did you ever bump into the Y. M.
C. A. in your travels?" 1 queried.
"Now, say. Down to Nogales ron
the border) they was a man named
Williams Say, you hain't a Y. M. C.
A. man, be you? You be? My Gawd,
I'm glad to see you here. Do you
know Mr. Williams? No He was in
charge of the Y. M. C. A. there.
There's a real man. They was sump'n
a t . v. i . , r
uum iui i iie uuvs ev ry minute, you
know the Y. M. C. A. is the greatest
thing in the world."
"You like it. do you?"
"Wei!. Its the only damn thing I
know that does what you said. It
sure helps keep a man off'n likker.
Haow long do you s'pose it'll be 'afore
this one'll be sot up?"

friend came around to say: "You
know what we'all was talkin' about?
Somethin' to take the place o' likker?
Wal I've seen a bit more o' the world
since yore Y. M. C. A. come. I hain't
been under gaard sense. But I hain't
boastfn'."
