For This Issue
University spirit should be main
tained according to Captain Maclvor
insofar as it does not interfere with
military training, but it must be kept
clearly in mind that University spirit
does not mean rowdyism. Too many
students come to the University with
a preconveived idea that callege spirit
is evidenced only by loud manners and
a plentiful supply of practical jokes.
Such idas must go. The man who
insists upon jesting and playing
pranks during his time in the train
ing corps will soon find himself in an
admy cantonment and deprived of the
privileges the government is offering
to college men in the school camps.
University spirit of the true sort is
evidenced by strict obedience to dis
cipline; serious work toward a
worthwhile goal and the determina
tion to do one's utmost for school and
for country. The transfer of two of
the members of the training corps
who refused to abandon their mis-con-
There are many father and mother
hearts today pining for the boy that
has left school and duty. Many an eye
looka wistfully perhaps every hour to
ward the little service flag In the win
dow and a parent yearns for the lad
whom the star in that flag represents.
There are wonders and doubts in
every house concerning the welfare
of that absent son or brother or hus
band, rrayers ascend to heaven,
pleading that all may go well with him
and those ho pray watch anxiously
to see if the prayer is heard.
To one who has had the opportun
ity of seeing Nebraska's 1.600 student
soldiers going through the initiatory
mill, those doubts and fears and mis
givings are of" the past. And if it
were only possible for every one of
those home folks to visit the Univer
sity of Nebraska about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon on any day except Sun
day any doubt which might rest in
their minds would certainly vanish.
The rigid enforcement of army dis
cipline may at first glance seem harsh
to the chlckenlhevrted it would
seem cruel and inhuman. Rut to
the thinking mother or father or other
one interested in the life of the sol
dier it must come at second thought
that the regular life, the enforcement
of discipline and the teaching of re
spect to superior which their soldier
boy is given, is in essence the making
of a man.
Army Hie, as anyone may w itness it
i on Nebraska field, not only makes men
and soldiers it makes 100 per cent
emcifiu men and above all real Amer
icans. Many scenes have been enacted on
Nebraska field. Some of them have
stirred the hearts of native Corn
huskers as no other scene might. Yet
none could ever compare with the im
pressive scene when 1,600 of Nebras
ka's chosen sons stand in line and
execute as one, the commands which
they are given. When the unit is
brought to attention and the strains
of "The Star Spangled Banner" go
forth from the center of the field, all
eyes look to the front, where before
them toward the center of the campus
Old Glory is lowered from its posi
tion over University hall where all
day it has flown over these lads whom
until now it has protected and who
are now called in turn to rally to its
paper to be sent to hit parvnts, or
wife or sweetheart.
Not only soldlert but every person
In the state of Nebraska will scan the
pages of The Nebratkan this year
looking for news about the soldiers
what they are doing, what they are
thinking about, and what they have to
aav. It Is generally recognlied that
the Yankee has them all cheated
when It coines to saying funny things
In a really funny way. And that is
why The Nebraskan want to get busy
and use the drop-box it is yours for
your benefit.

the mess hall that is not full and

The Daily Nebraskan realizes the
presence of the humorists and so has

a little drop-box in which these mas

When you hear some of your fellow
soldiers pull a good joke, remember
it and put it down on a piece of paper
