Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second-class
mall matter under the Act of Congress of March S, 1879.
At the close of the last day of the drive for money for the United
War Work Campaign the report is out that the University has gone
over the top, and exceeded the quota by $5,000. This is good news
for the committees who have given their time and energy for the past
ten days for the success of this work, and it Is gratifying for each
and every student who has made this victory possible through his
subscription. The first few days of the campaign were discouraging
and the outcome looked dismal, but Nebraska spirit which was in evi
dence at the Kansas game Saturday asserted itself and sent the Tar
record of the University up a notch.
Especial credit is due the Student Army and Navy for the way in
which they responded to the appeal. Over half of the quota was con
tributed by the men in these sections, some companies made a hun
dred per cent in their donations and averaged over ten dollars per
man. Most of the pledges from the men in uniform are to be taken
out of their first month's pay from the government and not from
"money from home."
Such a response from the student body is the proper way of cele
brating peace and shows the University as a whole patriotic at ihe
finish.
In a recent number of the Saturday Evening Post, was published
an article on "Education" and its tendency to teach the child too little
of the world war and the stirring history that is being made every day,
and to lay too much stress on the less important and more sordid
topics of the average grammar and grade school courses. Such a
criticism is not untimely, for if ever there was an age in which the
youth of America should be interested and informed on current hap
penings tb'.t time is now. Everyone should feel himself a part of
the history that is taking the world forward with such rapid strides.
There will likely never come a time in the lives of the students of
today another opportunity to study from the newspapers, and from
current literature, such important happenings in history and in the
evolutions of civilization, as are published today.
We are tod prone to educate the intellect at the expense of the
emotions, in our present system of education. Sometimes in our study
we forget to live. We pay more attention to the records of Luther,
Alexander the Great, Franklin and Fulton, than we do to Presiuen?
Wilson, General Foch, Edison, and a score of other men who are
figuring fully as prominently, if not more so in the world's record of
human progress, than were the "heroes of antiquity.
WHY CAMELS ARE MORE AT
HOME IN THE SAHARA DES
ERT THAN ON THE FLAG
STAFF OF BUNKER HILL
MONUMENT
When the Kaiser signed the. 647
page book of peace terms set forth in
the armistice agreement, the Erie
canal was dumping itself into tlie lake
of the same name.. In view of this,
the point to be brought out is:
"Should the polka dots on the grjen
cupola of the Woolworth five an' ten
cent building in New York be laven
der or chrome yellow?" If the Nation
al Incubator club decides on chrome
yellow, then why should wild horses
be permitted in the cafeterias of Oma
ha? Of course, this would seriously
hinder any material headway in poli
tics in Madgascar, and, undoubtedly,
revolutionize the manufacture uf poll
er's ink at the Greenland plant. When
newspaper publishers heard of thin, a
movement was set on foot to establish
free speech In deaf and dumb schoois.
Franklin P. Soak, who has tiie larg
est hock shop in Peoria, and who is
also president of the National Asso
ciation of Newspaper Publishers,
wrote to the mayor of Skuedunk, Ala
bama, to get his opinion on whether
steamship propellors should he pol
ished with an upward sweep of the
arm, or a downward one. The mayor
wrote back that If the downward
sweep was employed wrist watch
sales would decrease and the nation's
mciency n lighting forest fires would
be hampered to a disastrous extent.
Whereupon, Franklin P. Soak acted
accordingly and ordered all Peoria
street cars to run on Tuesdays, Thurs
days, Saturdays, and on Fourth of
July, providing of course, that date
doesn't come on any of the above men
tioned days.
You should- now be convinced of
why camels endure life in the Sahara
better than on the Bunker Hill flagstaff.
BARRACKS CHILLS
By "Jeff" Machamer
I once knew a crabbed ol' Kaiser,
Who would be the world's advaiser;
A place in the sun
Was craved by this Hun,
But now he's a darn sight waiser!
We have a new man to offer up as
democratic candidate for president of
"des Etats Unls." The only recommen
dation back of him is the fact that
he's a Lootenutt and he ate on a
box, sitting on a box, ana In a room
that harbors mops and scrub buckets.
I know some "K. P.'s" who would
balk at that!
WHEN BEBER HAWKINS came to
town,
AND went S. A. T. C,
HE JOINED the biggest frat aroun'
THE Unlversite ! !
Tomorrow morning, when you craw!
from your eighty degree bunk- Into
the thirty degree atmosphere; after
you've tossed eight hours on your
wire -sprineed bed. get a band minor
and see if you don't look like an over
done waffle!
The other night, long after taps, n
pink pnjama'd chap in slipperless fee!
oozed Into the ball and began feeling
along the wall for the drinking foun
tain. A guard saw the sllont, spooky
figure and challenged him.
"Halt! Whooz there?" thandered
the groggy sentry.
"Private Ludwig, sir!"
"Where Is Private Ludwig bound?'"
"Down town after a nut sundae.
Blr!" came peevit Ludwlg's answer as
he tightened the waist string on hi
pajamas.
Another farce similar to the abovo
Scene: Social Science barracks,
west entrance.
Characters: Sentry, who is pacing
back and forth before the west ap
proach, and a buck private In "cits"
clothes who Is discovered bustirg
Into the quiet scene after overstaying
a leave he never was granted.
"Haw-w-w-w-lt ! ! ! Who goes
there! ! ! ???" the sentry said, Just
like it's done in story books.
"Are you a euard?" answered the
challenged one.
"No I'm Santy Claus; can't yu
hear my toys rattle?"
Some fellows wear their wrist
watches like veterans.
What would you say about a com
pany commander who took his men
down "R" street and "dressed" them
right slap bang In front of a sorority
house?
