For This Issue
THE UNIVERSITY AND OMAHA
The University of Nebraska appreciates the gracious hospitality
of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce and the business men of
Omaha, who have so generously provided the day's entertainment.
The business interests of Omaha are behind the University. They
are interested in its welfare, and apparently hope to promote a feel
inf of good fellowship between the University and the great Nebraska
metropolis. The student body of the University cheerfully endorses
such a sentiment, and cordially joins bands with the citizens of
Omaha in ordev hat a firmer union may be formed between the two.
The frk.i.. attitude of the Omaha business interests will do
much to foster the growth of a feeling of mutual comradeship be
tween the University and Omaha. For many years the two have
been exchanging citizens. Each year the University receives many
of its students from Omaha. The influence of the Omaha Central
High School is ever present upon the University campus. On the
other hand, Omaha is the home of hundreds of the University's
alumni. It is the home, not only of students who originally came
from Omaha, but also of many graduates who have seen excellent
opportunity in Omaha for advancement.
For the ambitious student who aspires to advancement in com
mercial lines, the Gateway of the West offers exceptional oppor
tunity. Omaha stands, as the great commercial center of the middle
west She is situated in the heart of the great agricultural district
of the country. Her meat and grain products are shipped to all
parts of the world. Her centrally located position makes her a great
terminal of western railroads. Thirty years ago, but a small town,
she has developed wonderfully in the opening years of the twentieth
century. She has only begun to feel her powers, and with all the
great natural resources of the west about her, she will continue to
expand in population, wealth, and national importance.
Excursions to Omaha such as the one today, open the eyes of
university students to the possibilities of Nebraska's largest city.
Students who have lived their lives in small country towns are given
an opportunity to learn of the Omaha that exists beyond the railroad
station. Those who have merely seen Omaha from Sixteenth and
Farnam streets or from a hotel window, will become acquainted today
with the real Omaha that is known only to those who are intimately
associated with the affairs of the city daily. They will understand
that there is infinitely more to a city such as Omaha, than the
Fontenelle hotel or the Union station. Today, Omaha throws open
her gates to the University of Nebraska, revealing her innermost
secrets.
The tradition of "Omaha Day" is still young at the University.
Most of the students now in the University have never head of the
day. For two years, on account of the War, there have been no
trips to Omaha. The memory of the last one, which was made in
the spring of 1916, still clings to the mind of those few seniors who
had the pleasure of enjoying the delights of that day. "Omaha Day"
should become a true tradition of the University. Each year about
this time we should begin to make plans for the annual visit to
Omaha. Certainly there are no other school traditions which are
of more educational value. The trip strengthens the tie of friendship
between the University and Omaha; it affords students an oppor
tunity to visit places in Omaha that are ordinarily not open to the
public; and lastly, it proves that sound minded business men are
beginning to realize that college men are not a lot of "rah rah boys,"
but are excellent possibilities for future citizens, and that it is good
business policy to attract college graduates to Omaha.
A MAN'S PRAYER
Teach me that sixty minutes make an hour, sixteen ounces one
pound, and one hundred cents one dollar.
Help me to live so that I can lie down at night with 'a clear
conscience, without a gun under my pillow, and unhaunted by the
faces of those to whom I have brought pain.
Grant, I beseech The, that I may earn my meal ticket on the
square, and in doing so may not stick the gaff where it does not
belong.
Deafen me to the jingle of tainted money and the rustle of un
holy skirts.
Blind me to the faults of the other fellow, but reveal to me
my own.
Guide me so that each night when I look across the dinner table
at my wife, who has been a blessing to me, I will have nothing to
conceal.
Keep me younir enough to laugh with my children and to lose
myself in their play.
And then when comes the smell of flowers and the tread of
soft steps and the crunching of the hearse's wheels in the gravel
I out in front of my place, make the ceremony short and the epitaph
'simple: HERE LIES A MAN. Michigan Tradesman.
DAILY DIARY RHYMES
By
Gayla Vincant Grubb
The two had been thick for a good
long time
Their momenta together were sweet
and sublime,
He loved here and she well she stood
the same ground
Because she'd got used to him hangin
around;
And because all the others who'd'
known her before
Now figured this lad had the key to
the door.
And so they had gone, lover-like, day
by day
And, not that I know but I've heard
people say
That they'd both reached the stage
where a word's out of place
Where they live only sighs and both
gaze at space,
Until finally he says it's about time
to go
And she sighs a long line of sighs in
a row.
Well Gossip has told me the couple
has split
That this beautiful lovelight is now
naught but nit;
And that he hangs around on the
streets once again
While she's datln' now with the old
list of men.
Yet just who the pair are I leave
to your guess
And What do you think of the whole
dern mess?
"LITTLE DROPS OF WATER"
"April showers make May flowers."
In a case like that, May should be
such a month of flowers as was never
known before. Really, did you ever
know such weather? The English
language does not possess adjectives
sufficiently evil to adequately describe
it. Each day is grayer, colder, wetter,
and more sordid than the one before
It. You wonder where on earth the
posts found inspiration for their little
outbursts about azure skies, golden
sunhsine and song birds. You sort of
believe that the fellow who said, "No
lark could pipe 'neath skies so gray,"
was talking about the springtime.
You are sure that it did! not rain
more in the days of Noah than it is
raining these days. You spend hours
hunting for your umbrella only to find
that your neighbors have borrowed it.
Ditto as to your rubbers. Ditto as to
your rain-coat. Cold!!! You simply
freeze as you wade through deep
puddles, and Blip and slide in the mud
diest mud you have ever known. If
perchance, you see a friend with an
umbrella, you dash to his side, and
ere you have walked) a block, dozens
have joined you, and are pushing their
way to sheltered territory. And then
there are those who contend that man
is naturally an, unselfish animal!!!
f Woe be unto him whose spring suit
does shrink in the spring showers!
U. S. SOLDIERS ARE
NOT TO COMPETE
NEW YORK, May 1. Participa
tion in the inter-allled games scheduled
to be held In Paris, France, next June,
by American soldier athletes now in
the United States is not to be allowed.
according to a decision reached at a
conference between Secretary of War
Baker and Gen. P. C. March. The
announcement was made by S. J.
Dallas, president of the Amateur Ath
letic Union.
The ruling applies to soldiers who
have been overseas and returned to
the United States, as well as to those
who did npt see service abroad,
whether discharged from service or
not.
General March stated that while the
War Department was entirely In ac
cord with these games and the value
of athletics to the soldier, yet It was
felt that the chief object at this time
was to hasten the return of the sol
diers now overseas. General March
further stated that General Pershing
had full charge of the men at present
overseas and could hold any man or
men he desired for competition in the
games.

All of collegiate New England, and especially the
co-ed part of it, is up in arms against the allegation

that education fails pitifully to educate, when it
comes to taste in choosing clothes.

Now, we don't know about the co-eds "way down

could tell President Bumpus one or six things about
the co-eds of the Middle West in general, and of the
University of Nebraska in particular.
And this is the first of the six things : That the
