"Cornhuskers," I want your cars

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

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

with the alibi that someone else would
see to it that Nebraska University

would at least put us in position to

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.

er of doing that which is permitted

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

pacity temporarily. It is probable
that one of the university's own men
will be selected. The matter is now

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.
