NO TIME FOR DISCOURAGEMENT
This is no time for discouragement. Nebraska was defeated by
Iowa and while we all regret the outcome of the first game, it
should only spur us on to greater determination to win the games
ahead. It was a hard struggle and the Huskers were handicapped
by playing the opening contest away from home. Press reports tell
us that the breaks of the game were against Nebraska and that while
Iowa has a wonderful team, the result might have been different m a
mid-season combat. But why waste time mourning over defeat It
is easier, forgotten.
Next Saturday Nebraska meets Minnesota. It is a second trip
away from home and the result is perhaps the most doubtful of
any on the schedule. Minnesota has always been a dreaded oppon
ent and it has been only a super team which would wrest victory
from the lads of the Gopher state.
The present week will be one of inlense preparation io rthe
coming conflict. Every force and every effort which Cornhuskers
can marshall must be vitalized if Nebraska is to win. In face of one
defeat the odds will be against us and the struggle to overcome
weakness will be doubly hard. The battle is not one for football
men alone; it is for every loyal son and daughter of Nebraska wno
lays any claim to supporting Cornhusker football.
It is not alone for Minnesota that we must prepare. The games
which follow are of equal importance and will be fully as hard to
win. A week from next Saturday Notre Dame comes to Lincoln.
The visit of the Hoosiers recalls some of the bitterest fights ever
enacted on Nebraska field and the tally card of games lost and won
shows an almost even balance. Last year the game ended in a tie
and this year both sides will fight to swing the result their way.
Following come Oklahoma, Ames. Missouri, Kansas and Syracuse,
all mighty teams and formidable opponents.
Meanwhile let us not forget that the outcome at Iowa has a lesson
for us all. Have we been mindful of the stiff opposition that the
Huskers must face and have we developed a spirit in keeping with
a remarkable team and a remarkable schedule? It is not too late
yet. In the weeks ahead let every Cornhusker throw every ounce
of spirit into the fight with an undaunted determination to win for
Nebraska.
THE NEBRASKAN POLICY
College editors are often prone to magnify the importance of
the year's events which they are about to chronicle. In their eyes,
each year becomes propitious and noteworthy. The reason is not
hard to see. The constant growth of various colleges and universi
ties is, in itself, a factor which compels attention and as each year
comes and enrollment invariably rises, there is every real reason to
believe that the happenings of student and college life will be mem
orable ones to relate.
And so the Daily Nebraskan, as it introduces to the University
a paper under the guidance of a new staff, finds it hard to avoid the
trite utterances characteristic of writers as they venture into tne
sponsibility placed upon it of recording the events of a period wfcicl,
promises to be one of great achievments 'and significant undertakings.
I looks hopefully forward to what it believes will be the biggest
era of development that the University has ever seen.
The policy of the Nebraskan will be founded more than ever
upon the ideals of service to the student body and the faculty. In
its news celumns, it will strive to relate in an impartial way all
news of the campus and it will be the aim of the editorial staff in
the same manner to help in what way it can to direct student thought
and opinion into useful channels.
There are movements under way at the present time which rep
resent the outcome of student demands for a better University and
In mirroring the wishes of Nebraska men and women, the paper
will sponsor and support these measures. And following the pre
cedents of years past, the Daily Nebraskan professes the doctrine of
constructive suggestion rather than of destructive criticism and the
espousal of causes of very real concern to student hearts.
A MOVEMENT TOWARD EFFICIENCY
Columbia University has introduced this year a scheme whereby
all entering students are examined in regard to former college or
preparatory school work, and are given a mental and physical test
to determine their fitness to enter the institution.
Too many young men and women go through college gluing
nothing and taking nothing. They derive nothing from the school
but a knowledge of the way to spend money easily and extravagantly.
They leave school no better, sometimes far worse, than when ihey
entered four or five years before. These students are not physically
or mentally fit to profit by the advantages offered.
The Columbia plan alms to eliminate this waste of energy. The
book knowledge" which a student takes with him from college is
oftentimes of minor Importance. The mental training and broader
viewpoint which he acquires make his college course worth while.
If he cannot attain these things which are necessities to the success
ful college mas, he is wasting his efforts and his professor's time.
The Columbia experiment will be watched with interest by those
who believe in better and more efficient colleges and universities.

San Francisco, August.... .Can you
create the one word which will best
denote the United States and all p.'.rts
of Britannia? If so, you will be
paid at the rate of $1000 a word. The
World Trade Club of San Francisco
has offered $1000 to the person who
suggests the word in which, in the
judgment of the club's Metric Cam
paign Committee, is best adaptea to
the world-wide use.
The competition is open to all hu
mankind. The money will be p8id to
the winner at noon on 15 May, 1920,
by a committee appointed by Presi
dent W. H. Hammer of the World
Trade Club.
"BriUAm," "Ambria," "Ambritlica,"
"Br-Am," "Sam-Bull" are some words
thus far suggested. New names are
constantly coming. The World Trade
Club is offering this award because in
carrying on its present campaign for
the adoption of metric units by all
English-speaking people the Unlieu
States, the British Isles, Canada, Aus
tralia, New Zealand, Tasmania. Unit
ed South Africa and so on, it was
hampered by the lack of a single short
word which would express all thes.
The metric units of weight and
measure are now used by all the
world except "Brit-Am' or "Ainbrit
tica" or "Sam-Bull."
A man who was wanted by the police
had been photographer In six different
positions, and the pictures sent to the
chief of police of a provincal town,
where it waa thought likely the fugi
tive was hiding. After the lapse of
a few days the following reply reached
headquarters: "Sir I duly received
the portraits of the six mteu-eant
whose capture is desired. I have ar
rested five of them, and the sixth is
under observation and will be se
cured shortly."
