The Most Beautiful Loving Cups Are Made in the Ricketiest Shops But Why Make it So Hard for Doc? By "Doc" Stewart "Cornhuskers," I want your cars for just a few moments. I'll return them filled with statistic and other data which I hope will make them burn until you personally do something to insure Nebraska University against odlus comparisons with other univer sities when students at other institu tions talk of athletics and physical education. By "Cornhusker," I mean every citi zen of the grand state of Nebraska, be he student faculty member, alumnus, friend or enemy. Each and every one of us is a citizen of a common wealth rated high in the wealth of the country, and yet, representing one of the wealthiest states In the union, we permit conditions to exist at our university which embarrass us when we have occasion to talk of our ath letics, our athletic equipment and at tractions of this nature to high school boys, and other prospective students. - Nebraska needs an entire new ath letic plant, and needs it so badly that leilC plain, Uliu ueeus n mi unuij tiiui right now we are suffering inroads to be made into athletic material, by other and outside institutions, who have more attractive gymnasiums, bet ter athletic fields, and larger coach ing staffs. Do you know, Mr. Cornhusker, that Nebraska University's football teams have maintained the lead in Missouri valley circles, if not the entire west, year in and year out with training fa cilities consisting of an antiquated track and basketball court that many of the managers from other institu tions have emphatically refused to schedule track meets and basketball games in Lincoln with the University of Nebraska. Do you know, Mr. Cornhusker, that Nebraska University with its 5,000 stu dents is the largest state university in the Missouri valley. And yet Nebras ka University's athletic teams are forced to practice and play on fields and courts so inadequate in size and desirability that even the smaller in stitutions of the Missouri valley con ference have long since pointed the finger of adverse criticism toward the Cornhusker athletic equipment. Are you aware. Mr. Cornhusker, that the largest and most Important high school basketball tournament in the United States .is annually held in Lincoln under the management of the University of Nebraska athletic de partment, and that our little two-by-twice gymnasium, and city auditorium, in order to stage this enormous tour nament and accommodate the crowds which attend this annual classic. Ana. Mr. Cornhusker, do you know that alien interests are energetically at work, aiming to shift this annual class ic to Omaha, to Nebraska Wesleyan, or some other institution, and the only argument they can use, is "inadequate facilities" at Nebraska. Is it fair, Mr. Cornhusker, to Ne braska Yearns, to force them to train under conditions at home, which place them at a great handicap on foreign fields or floors? Must we annually accumulate de ficits in basketball and other sports which more than pay for themselves at NEBRASKA MAN HOLDS DUPONT SCHOLARSHIP . t vhraska holds a rwnt scholarship in chemistry slm- Dupont scnoiarsnip , t ... ilar to the one cm- t".r issue of The Da.y Nebraskan.

Must college, spirit suffer because students, who know conditions at the gymnasium, refuse to attend and sup. port their varsity teams? Must Nebraska's prestige be lower ed or held to an unnatural level, be cause other Institution managers and directors in athletics, look with dis favor upon our small athletic plant? Must Nebraska's high school ath letes, who should 'by all natural laws gravitate to their own 6tate university for their college education, be offered less In the way of attractive athletic equipment and opportunity, than can be offered by other Institutions wit'i which we compete athletically? When are you going to awake, Mr. Cornhusker, to the knowledge of your obligation in this matter? This condi tion has existed for years, and for years and years you have been con i " - - tent to sit idly by and indulge yourself with the alibi that someone else would see to it that Nebraska University "in time" Secured the equipment which would at least put us in position to compete on even terms with other in stitutions rf learning. Have we secured it this way? No? Nuf Sed. The whole United States and all European nations have awakenedto a truth which you have known dimly for years. The athletic nation pro duced the best soldiers, in the shortest time, which the world war produced. Almost four million young men pre paring to fight or fighting for the Red, White and Blue flag, received daily training in athletics, while the first men to enlist were to a large per cent athletic through experience in colleges, universities, high schools, or athletic clubs. If the military authorities adopted daily athletic work as essential to the proper physical development for a fighting soldier, should the citizens of the United States do less than insist that proper athletic equipment be fur nished a tall educational institutions for this needed work for the future. The war has proved the value of ath letics as a builder of the virile fight ing man. Shall our educational insti tions he forced to develop the mind without a corresponding development of the physical man? - The beginning of self-deception are bo slight that they are likely to be un noticed until the habit is fixed upon us. We can scarcely be too strict and honest with ourselves in little matters and large ones. Personal liberty consists in the pow er of doing that which is permitted by law-.

Units is Dis cussed at Educational Meet ing in Baltimore- Chancellor Samuel Avery returned yesterday morning from a trip to Baltimore, where he attended a meet ing of the association of agricultural colleges and experiment stations. The future of the It. O. T. C. was the main question under discussion. Representatives of the war department who attended the conference assured the university authorities that there would be better co-operation between the war department and the university In the future and that the latter would have more than a fifty per cent parti cipation in the management of mili tary affairs. The chancellor was told that the uni versity would hae a great deal to say about the choice of the futuro :om mandant to take the place of Cap tain Drake, who Is acting in that ca pacity temporarily. It is probable that one of the university's own men will be selected. The matter is now ( - - 1 under consideration svt the war depart ruent President Brown' of the board of re gents.

The club will meet tomor row at noon to have their pictures taken for the Cornhusker. To become educated we must learn to observe. Observation gives us facts, data; then we generalize and make universal application. This heightens and straightens both our reason and imagination. Chicago Post. What are the Olympics?

DATE IS SET FOR UNIVERSITY NIGHT March 8 to be Evening; of Unre stricted Comedy Sketches of Campus Committee at Work on Program for Evening- Skits in by February First March eighth is the night which has been set for the cleverest sketch of campus life that appears during the entire college year. This university night 1 the memorable occasion upon which everyope likes to look back in after years, as a big. bright spot in the routine of school. The students are allowed unlimited opportunity to let the faculty know just what they think. The lid is off; staid and sober professors are presented in their true light by the ever alert and analytic student. Those who are preparing skits, according to inside information, are bearing this well in mind, and many a professor will be brought face to face with his shortcomings on this night of nights. Plans in' Progress The committee in charge of the pro gram is ready for work and is already making advance plans for the occa sion. The chairman has announced that skits must be in by February 1. This is of the utmost importance, as the success of the evening depends on the excellence of the sketches offered. As soon as the skits are ready they should be taken to the students activ ities' office. The laws are already en ergetically working on their stunt. i .. Viioi, mvtmisoa in far outshine their classy productions of former years. A complete and thorough canvass of the campus is being made for pecu liarities of both faculty and students which should be corrected, at least brought to the attention of the pecu liar ones. The eagle eye of the law college is piercing even the remotest corner of the campus, and no one will escape. The Dread Evening Shun More lasting by far than the things the laws will do is the record which appears in the Evening Shun. This university night publication is edited by Sigma Delta Chi, journalistic fra ternity. The expression that the pen is mightier than the sword, is only too true in the case of the Shun. No one escapes, and all the mysteries and near scandals of the university, the faculty and the students are laid bare in glaring type. The revelations In this years' Shun will cause many to hurry to the seclusion of their rooms before reading the tell-tale lines whicfc speak out so boldly the secrets of their hearts. Prayer is not overcoming God's re luctance; it is laying hold on his high est willingness. Trench. SEMESTER BEGINS FEB.
