1879.
The campaign within the University
for 1913 memberships in the American
Red Cross begins tomorrow morning.
Chancellor Avery, in a letter published
elsewhere in today's Nebraskan, places
well the responsibility each student,
instructor and employe of the Uni
versity should feel. One dollar gives
a membership, and one dollar is a
small thing for any of us to contribute
to such a work. The goal set, $1,600,
should be heavily oversubscribed by
Thursday evening, when the drive
closes.
The greatest thing about the mem
orable 1917 football season is that it
could do more than merely entertain
the public and defend the athletic
honor of Nebraska that it could lend
itself to a worthy cause, and in no
mean manner. While other schools in
the Missouri valley were losing money,
Nebraska was filling her coffers, and
she filled them not for herself alone,
but for the Red Cross. A total of
$7,000 is the contribution to this great
war work by the 1917 Cornhuskers.
May the memory of their prowess on
the gridiron never outlast the recollec
tion that they played in mediocre
equipment on a bare field in order that
at the end of the season they might
have all the more money to give for
the care of democracy's soldiers.
terically follow every woof and cry.
To be a patriot does not mean to close
one's eyes and one's mind and go into
spasms of yammering whenever the
word "German" is heard. Such an in
fluence does not breed obedience to
proper authority; it breeds instead
the blind, sheepish, slavish following
after every bag of oats dangled before
our noBes. It ia because the German
peoples are victims of Just this sort of
patriotism that they are menacing the
world today.
After all, patriotism is not Judged by
the largest type or the loudest voice
It does not consist necessarily in play
ing upon the emotions of a loyal pub
lie, of casting discredit and dishonor
upon honest citizens. If this extrava
gant flourishing of the pen, this rant
ing and bull-dozing, is The Star's in
terpretation of "aggressive patriotism"
the time for a revision has come.
Wanted Student to tend furnace.
L. A. Sherman, Dean's office. o--
Do the students of Nebraska want a
"War-time Cornhusker," or do they
want a real yearbook incorporating
this appropriate recognition of Ne
braska soldiers? It would seem that
this year, of all years, the demand of
both students and soldiers would be
for a complete portrayal of Univer
sity life. It should by all means be
dedicated to Cornhusker soldiers, but
it should be more than a strictly mili
tary book. No one dares to prophesy
what University life a. year from now
will be like; if there is no permanent
record of the present, 'who will recall
it in the years to come? The Corn
husker is for student consumption; it
should be the kind of a book students
want. Which is your choice? If you
want a regulation Cornhusker, see
your class representative on the stu
dent publication board this morning
and give him your opinion.
"AGGRESSIVE PATRIOTISM"
In a time like this it should be a
grave offense for one tq indiscrimi
nately accuse a fellow citizen of "skim
milk patriotism," call him a "bolshe
vik! professor," and recommend that
he be given the iron cross. This is
the charge made by the editor of The
Lincoln Star upon Prof. E. L. Hinman
of the department of philosophy, be
cause Professor Hinman, at a meeting
of the city school board, said that he
saw sufficient Justification in the sane
side of German culture for the teach
ing of German in the public schools.
University students who know Pro
fessor Hinman to be thoroughly Amer
ican resent this attack. Just as they
resent the whole policy of The Star
and the Omaha Nebraskan to create
an impression over the state that the
University is a hotbed of sedition.
There is such a thing as patriotism
without slobbering, and also such a
thing as a broad mind. It is time the
editor of The Star were practicing the
former and utilizing the latter. Be
cause one does not agree with Profes
sor Hinman in his stand that there is
a desirable benefit to be derived from
German instruction in the public
schools and it is the minority who do
does not call upon us to plume our
selves as patriots and scourge him as
a kaiser worshipper.

Huge Old Cottonwood
At Farm Is Cut Down
The big cottonwood tree which has
been standing for half a century at the
corner of the state farm campus at
Thirty-third and Holdrege streets, was
cut down Thursday. The tree was
planted in April, 1868, by M. M. Oliver,
who two years before had purchased
what is now the state farm, for $6 an
acre. This particular tree was one of
the first set out on what was then a
barren tract of land. A year later
what is now the state farm grove was
set out. The old cottonwood tree was
struck by lightning some years ago
and since then has been dying out,
Farm Superintendent S. WPerin said
Thursday.
