For This Issue
Every year at this time several
theorems in which new students may
find helpful guidance are usually set
forth by those who hava been through
the mill. Chief in importance among
these valuable maxims is the one, "To
keep up, is easier than to catch up."
If there is. any one pitfall against
which new students should be warned
at this time It is that of allowing back- (
work to accumulate.
This year in particular, with class
work disorganized; some classes not
being held and some being held only
part time, the temptation to Bluff Is
particularly great and at the same
time particularly dangerous. The time
will come all too soon when the stu
dent who has allowed his work to pile
up will find himself lost in the mass
ahead of him. The work of each day
will be unintelligible if the foundation
has not been laid and every day will
see him farther behind. The man
who has finished his work as it has
been assigned has only the present to
care for.
"Whether or not there is truth in the
old statement that an instructor
grades his students for the first six
weeks and then throws his grade book
away, it is certain that he is able to

The death of David Dean Barrett

every precaution possible agalsnt the
nrpad of the Spanish influema. In
nnthpr nart of The Nebraskan five
rules for safeguarding the University
from the disease have been printed
and should be carefully read and roi
inwpd to the letter.
Particular care should be exercised
hv fraternities and sororities in keep
ing the disease from spreading and
every suspicious case should be re
norted to Dean Engberg Immediately

Guard against spread of the disease by
sneeiinc tn
nublic daces.
The Spanish Influema is extremely
virulent and when once started is
n iiflruH to control. In Boston
last week the total of victims mounted
to over the four hundred mark and In
many other cities and army camps the
number of deaths has been high. Once
the disease gets a start at the Uni
versity of Nebraska it may be neces
sary to quarantine the entire school
and delay the government program.
Every student should consider it his
personal duty to take every precau
tion for himself and to report every
case of which he hears.

Coincident with the announcement
of class elections to be held October
8, little groups on the campus began
gradually to change their topics of
conversation from training corps to
politics. Especially was this true with
the upperclassmen. Even the Kaiser
cannot restrain the veterans of many
campaigns from sniffing the air at the
TrnBTWpt of annexine a few mere
r - i - ,J
scalps for their belt.
To some, it may seem that politics
6hould be abandoned this year for
the more serious business of the war,
but good, clean and open campaigning
for the support of eligible candidates
still has its merits and benefits and
should remain a part of the Univer
sity traditions insofar as it does not
interfere with the military program.
As yet, it Is difficult to determine
juBt what duties will be placed upon
the shoulders of the various c!ats offi
cers, but it is certain that, whatever
they may be, they should be perform
ed with care and efficiency. Men or
women of especial ability should be
selected and it is to be hoped that a
goodly number of such candidates will
file with the registrar before ballots
are closed.
To many of the freshmen who a-:e
entArlne the University this year, the
game of politics as played on the
campus, may seem complex and ob
scure and a thing of little Importance.
The benefits which one derives, how
ever, from the mingling with his fel
low students, exchanging ideas and
attempting to organize are eome of
the greatest that are received in the
University and the excellent opportu
nity for these things, afforded by po
litical campaigning, should not be
overlooked. Freshmen should fall In

Stick to Your Trench
Remember, you 've got to stick to your trench
Yes, stick like glue to your trench.
You dig while it's dark, and you work while it's light,
And then there's the "listening post" at night.
Though you're soaked to the skin and chilled to the bone;
Though your hands arc like ice, and your feet like stone;
Though your watch is long, and your rest is brief
And you pray like hell for the next relief;
Though the wind may howl, and the rain may drench ,
Remember you've got to stick. to your trench
Yes, stick like mud to your trench.
Perhaps a bullet may find its mark,
And then there's a funeral after dark;
And you say9 as you lay him beneath the sod,
A sportsman's soul has gone to his God.
Behind the trench, in the open ground,
There's a little cross and a little mound;
And if at your heartstrings ycu feci a wrench,
Remember, he died for his blooming trench
Yes, he died like a man for his trench.
There's a rush and a dash, and they're at your wire,
And you open the hell of a rapid fire;
The Maxims rattle, the rifles flash,
And the bombs explode with a sickening crash.
You give them lead, end ycu give them steel,
'Til at last they waver , and turn, and reel.
You 've done your job there was never a blench
You've given them Hell, and you've saved your trench;
BY GOD YOU'VE STUCK TO YOUR TRENCH!
