FALL IN LINE NEBRASKA J
Since the signing of the armistice, universities throughout the
Middle West have all experienced the same difficulties, in reviving
that elusive and indefinable thing called "college spirit" The S. A.
T. C. regime all but delivered a knockout blow to university tradi
tions, customs, and "spirit." The two and a half months of the
Training Corps proved that education and military training cannot
go hand in hand succesfully. United they fall, divided they stand.
The editor of the Michigan Daily has driven straight to the
heart of the matter with a list' of "ten commandments," that he has
drawn up for the benefit of freshmen. The regulations treat of
customs, and traditions relating to the campus of the University of
Michigan, but they are applicable to any school in the country that
ia honored with university traditions. They are worthy of careful
consideration by university students, and especially by the younger
members of our Institution.
1. Wear your freshman cap at all times except Sundays. (This
custom will be revived next year.) It identifiies you with your fel
lows and with members of other classes; you should be proud that'
you are a Nebraska freshman. Upperclassmen respect the fresh
man that wears his cap.
2. Discard all preparatory and high school insignia, including
high school fraternity pin and sweaters. "
3. Attend all class meetings and functions, and take part in
all class contests. Get into the swing of campus activities and be a
real Cornhusker.
4. Learn "The Cornhusker," "U-U-UNI," and the other songs
ind yells as quickly as you can. Knowledge of the members of all
Varsity teams will not detract from your worth.
5. Speak to every male member of your class whether you
have met him or not. Nebraska, out here in the free and open
West, where the cloak of frigid reserve Is thrown unUl, is not the
place to wait for a year to get somebody to Introduce you to the
fellow student who sits beside you in chemistry or iniiUirimitlcH.
6. Avail yourself of every opportunity to enter In'o ilic llln of
the University of Nebraska." Being it nieiiihrr of the l'niv i nlty of
Nebraska means more than attending n HuM ml. nit -i)' day
and going to a dance on Friday nlRht,
7. Always remember that yon lt mm i intn. -III to
the Unievrsity of Nebraska, and that ' Inilt tin in
further the interests of your iilniu iiitiln, )"! tttnl to
do. You will get out of your liiHtlliilli'ii Jul into it,
CURIOftll V
We often hear students nny llntl II" ! m l ihh f.u miIuIii
courses because they are dry and unliiiin iihh mm. I iieur would
be of any value to them. Ami we nutiii- ili.ti mm It Mmli ii! know
little or nothing about the said MilJerin, 'I In- (muMr nihil Iii h In
the fact that the students hav never been nn miiIoiim ronrernlnn
the important questions dealt with In tlnec unlijeelM. Then hlioulcl
not the wise teacher attempt to mount the itnlonlty milier than
satisfy it? A pointed question well put frequently iipeiiH up a whole
new line of thought and is far more effective than tho relating of
numerous facts.
It is only by solving the question murks of life that we grow.
It is true now as it has always been. No new fact or truth is ever
discovered and brought to light by a man who does not doubt or
even become curious. The greatest steps in our civilization have
been due to the fact that certain Individuals have let their curios
ity get the better of them and have had the courage to attempt a
solution of the question marks. Some one has said that you can
lead a man from the curbstone to the stars when you have once
aroused his curiosity. State Normal Bulletin.
STUPENDOUS
The war has thrust a schoolmaster's task of tremendous pro
portions on our government Because there are 5,500,000 persons
over 10 in this country who cannot read and write in any language,
the secretary of the interior has urged congress to enact laws to
remedy this situation., The figures quoted in this connection are
startling. Popular Mechanics figures up that there are nearly 700,000
men of draft age in this country who are illiterate. Aside from the
big economic ln which such Ignorance cntallo, there are vital mili
tary considerations involved. These men of whom between 30,000
and 40,000 are in the army, cannot read the orders posted on the
bulletin boards, they cannot read the manual of arms, nor under
stand signals given by the Signal Corps in time of battle. Wichita
