FORWARD, MARCH!
With the intended demobilization of ihv S. A. T. C. and S. N. T. C.
this week there arises in the mind of each man who is dismissed from
the service, the question of what to do now. There is the choice
between three courses; to quit school, to stay or to drop out now with
the intention of returning second semester.
Most men feel uncertain us to whirh is the wisest course to
choose. Peace has brought with it an era of unrest to those of school
age. Men who would otherwise have desired an vducaiion above all
things, feel the unsettled conditions which prevail, to such an extent
as to want to give up their opportunities for college training and to
take up some form of remunerative lobar. The world outside looks
more attractive than it has looked for a long time and at present,
school seems trifling in comparison. Such an idea is a snare and
delusion. Educated men are going to be more in demand than they
have ever been.
To those who are planning: on leaving school until second semes
ter we would say, all in capitals, "don't!" An intenjion to return to
school is a poor foundation to base a future upon. A great deal de
pends on the present and on the decisions to be made within the next
few days. It is probable that some of the colleges will follow the
example the Engineering Colloge has set and allow men to take up
work now and by doing heavy work for the rest of the semester
receive their full credit as though they had been enrolled in the work
for the full term. Instead of losing a whole a whole semester, then,
it would be possible, with a little extra effort, to do a whole semester's
work in but half of the time.
There remains also the fact that school is just beginning to settle
down after thv many interruptions and disturbances of the past two
years. It is not fair for men who have been here for the first time this
year to judge college life at Nebraska by the brief experience they
have had. If first year men should leave school now they would carry
away with them the wrong impression entirely. There have been
so far this fall, disappointment, delay and disillusion, especially among
the S. A. T. (Vs. They have 'all been worth while, however, and they
have contributed to our funds of -xperience.
Although school life at its best is not followed through the flowery
paths of ease, it is more satisfactory than the impression it has given
thus far. There are better times ahead!
THE IMAGINARY BIG QUESTIONS
IE. V. Howe's Monthly.)
The world has always been oppressed with big questions.
To all intents and purposes, there are none; anything too big for
the people to understand doesn't make any difference.
I do not understand Greek; very well, 1 have no use for it.
If a man will gain a reasonable understanding of the subjects
"ithin reach, and practice them with common sense and in the light
of experience, the big things the reviewers discuss do not actually con
cern him.
What will happen after the war? If you decently attend to your
own affairs, you needn't worry; you will get along in about the same
old way; better than others if you behave better than they do, and
worse if you are more shiftless and unfair.
What is beyond the milky way? I don't know; but it doesn't
make any difference to little you or me; the answer does not concern
us. Some know, but the knowledge is of no practical use and gives
them no advantage; while astronomers have been learning what Is
beyond the milky way, you have been learning something else of
greater or equal value.
Why do the seasons change? It is enough to know they always
do. The things of actual importance are simple, and easily understood.
I am not an agnostic; I know and I say it with modesty. Others
know life as well as I do and better. I have lived a long time, and
my real problems have always been of the same simple kind. Being sel
fish. 1 have solved them with all possible Intelligence. What "prob
lem, in life disturbs you? Any of your neighbors, providing they have
lived a life ordinarily full, and have average intelligence, can solve it
for you. The simple rules of life ymj discover every day aie as un
changing as the rules governing mighty Saturn, and you can safely
assume that if you intelligently attend to your little affairs, Saturn will
attend to his.

HAND GRENADES
Inasmuch as all we've seen and felt
And groaned at, maybe swore,
Are the some old tasks that griped the
world
Of centuries before.
Let's say you face a problem
And It's taxed you pretty hard;
Vou feel you've put your be6t, you
hand
la lacking not a card,
"When a Fellow Needs a Friend"
"Breathes there a man" who is not
often stricken with the pangs of hun
ger? Yesterday afternoon, while
sauntering down O street, you were
thusly stricken. You dug the remnants
of pay day out of your pocket a lone
ly quarter, and a few dimes and nick-
les not much, but enough to satisfy
the yearnings of the inner man.
You strolled into a store. There at
a little table sat the Nicest Girl and
her chum-both favoring you with
ravishing smiles. Certainly they
would be delighted to have you eat
with them, so down you sat.
Then the boy came to take your or
ders. Ye gods! How hungry those
girls must have been! ! They ordered
salad, sandwiches, pickles, and per
fects. You thought of your shrivel
ed finances, and weakly ordered a
phosphate (price ten cents), explain
ing to. the girls that you had an awful
headache.
The girls had just started to par
take of their banquet, and you of your
phosphate (you always did hate phos
phates) when a lovely girl with a bas
ket of flowers, approached you. It
seemed that she was selling the flow
ers (or the benefit of the French or
phans, and was very determined that
you should buy some. In ever-increasing
consternation, you watched the
Nicest Girl and her chum select some
violets. The flowers cost you a dol
lar. This left you the vast sum of
fifteen cents and the thought of the
bill for the food caused the cold per
spiration to break out on your brow.
A ray of hope! At the next table
sat a fellow you knew. You hastily
excused yourself from the girls, and
inconspicuously implored this fellow
to loan you some 'money, but he, too,
was rather hard put, and could not
do it.
You dashed up to the cashier, and
asked if you might charge the bill.
She pointed sternly to a sign which
read, "No credit allowed." You then
asked if she would cash a check for
you. She pointed to another sign
which read, "We do not cash checks
for strangers." Your bark was at
the next corner, and "hatlessed" you
rushed thereto but alas, the hour was
four-thirty and the hank was closed.
In dsperation, you raced back to
the store where you met the girls
leaving. They gave you a glacial
look, and said they hoped that you
enjoyed your lunch!
And then people say that everyone
has something for which to be thank
fulwell, the girls paid for the
lunch!
