OUR TRADITIONS
We wish that every student in the University might have heard
Professor Scott express his sentiments on college traditions at the
Convocation Tuesday morning. Those that did hear him will be
bigger and better Nebraskans for it, and those that did not, may be
sure that they have missed something vital to their life at Nebraska.
If you have never stopped before to think of Nebraska traditions, you
will do so now. You realize now that traditions are of the essence
of your college life; that without traditions, your college life would
be barren when compared with that enjoyed by other universities
who boast of their cherished traditions.
Nebraska has her traditions the same as does Tale, Harvard,
Pennsylvania and Princeton. Ours are every bit as good, and should
mean just as much to us as does "Senior Baseball,' "Spinning Tops,"
and "The Yale Fence," to Yale. Corresponding in importance to the
Yale traditions just mentioned, are the following; Nebraska traditions
tk&t all Nebraska students should know about and appreciate: Ivy
Day, the Olympics, the Shirt Tail Parade, the Cornhusker Banquet.
Competitive Drill, Farmers' Fair, Senior Picnic, Freshman Caps, Uni
versity Night, Fete Day, and the Girls' Cornhusker Party. There
are other traditions of more or less importance that might be
added to this list, but these eleven traditions are the ones that are
most treasured by Cornhuskers.
The important point brought out by Professor Scott, and the one
which we wish to emphasize in all Its significance is, that we should
carry away from college with us something more than what we have
learned from books. Love for our alma mater, and her traditions,
should be so instilled in us, that when we grow old and feeble, we
will be on common ground with the new generation, when they talk
to us about "The Cornhusker Banquet" and "The Shirt Tail Parade."
These are the things that will remain with us in after years, and the
ones that we will treasure most
The 1919 Cornhusker devotes an entire section to Nebraska tra
ditions, and every student should familiarize himself with each one.
Besides forming an interesting chapter of Nebraska history, they
are full of things that every student should know.
THE GIRLS CAN DO IT
They say girls cannot do things. What a mistake. True it is
that at times they have lacked the experience denied them by their
stronger brothers who have insisted upon running things too deep
for mere girls, but why not give them a chance? Through the
study of economic conditions it is known that the lack of oppor
tunity and experience more than any other one thing has kept women
from tbe industrial world, and has, incidentally, kept their wages
below those of men.
Again, when they are given an opportunity, they prove more
efficient than they are expected to be. This may be observed from
the latest list of Phi Beta Kappa students which included seven men
out of thirty-nine seniors, and even this is an improvement over last
year's record, when only four men were chosen from a total of
thirty-nine students. Thus the girls now and then try their band at
unexpected lines of work and play, the results of which are not al
together worse than those accomplished by others. We cif The Daily
Nebraskan wonder just what the effect of our efforts will be.

UNIVERSITY WEEK
This year's university week promises to b one ef the mot uc
CfcBcful ever given in spite of the short spring vacation which makes
it impossible to cover more than the three towns of Superior. Geneva,
and Red Cloud.
University week is one of the best methods of advertisement
besides athletics, that the university possesses, to interest people over"
the state in university activities, showing them what is going on in
various lines of work.
HAND GRENADES
THE SIXTH SENSE
(This story is short, but really
that's the best part of it J)
Mnnv ixonlt say that a sense of
humor is a valuable- asset to one's
character, and in verification of this
statement, point out many situations
which have been saved from dire
disaster by a good laugh. Generally
speaking, this Is true, but there are
occasions when a sense of humor Is
tragic, and a hearty laugh is fatal.
Did some funny thought ever flash
through your mind, when you were
sitting sedately in church and all was
silent? And as you sat there, the
thought grew funnier and funnier, and
to subdue your mirth was well nigh
impossible. Your desperately-stifled
chuckles were all too audible, and you
were the object of the concentrated
attention of the entire congregation.
Need I add that you were embnrassed?
I need not t
And were you ever dreadfully
thirsty, and just as you took unto
yourself a nice, big mouthful of water.
did not someone make a truly clever
remark? Yes; And then people tell
you that a sense of humor is a thing
to be treasured and cherished!
And were you ever in a class where
the professor made some glaring
error? And were you not siezed with
a desire to laugh? Well, if you were
not, you're sort of er odd. And it
isn't the best policy In the world to
laugh at professors' mistakes. No, it
is not.
To laugh in the library is a serious
offense in fact it is almost unfor
givable. Repetition of this misde
meanor too oft results in your banish
ment to the cold out-of-doors.
A sense of humor may be all right
in its place, but like many other
things, out of its place, well!
