She never falls; be it a call for the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., tor soldiers or for miners, the call Is always answered In an unquestionably resolute voice. That several hundred men of the university volunteered to work the mlnee if the governor calls them Indicates that the spirit at Nebraska rings true. It will be no vacation for the men if they are sent to dig the fuel to keep Nebraska from freezing and to keep her industries going. It means a sacrifice on their part, it means that some may become sick from the unaccustomed labor, and it may mean that some will lose their lives, but above all their unselfishness indicates that In telligent young men of the state are not willing to stand idlely by and let irresponsible forces impede the internal peace, liberty and comfort of the nation if they are able to prevent it. Whether the miners, the operators, the government, or all three are responsible for the situation Is not the immediate question but rather how can the ill effects be minimized, how may things be kept as near normal as possible now that the situation has been forced upon us? Certainly the closing of the university should be done only as a last resort, for is not that one of the reasons that the men volunteered so that it might remain open? There would be nothing particularly altruistic in their volunteering if they did It because they would have nothing else to do, but the fact that they are willing to give up some of their education that others might continue theirs indicates a true spirit of unselfishness. TWENTY-ONE EARNED THEIR "N" Every one of the twenty-one men who were awarded the football "N" earned the honor. The award was made only after long and hard training on the part of the athletes and In some cases the summer months were spent In hard manual labor to put them In trim for the stlffest battles on the gridiron. The "N" is an emblem of athletic achievement and is an honor to all who earn one and has the privilege of wearing it. Because it is an honor, an emblem of special athletic ability, and a distinction it is only right that wearing it should be restricted to those to whom it was awarded. With all respect to cheer-leaders, the wearing of sweaters with the official "N" only lessens their dignity and tends to spoil the sacredness of the "N" tradition. The Scarlet and Cream can be equally well displayed by those who lead the cheering if red and white sweaters are worn without the official "N." To every proud possessor of the "N" should belong the consciousness that he and his fellows of the gridiron are the sole wearers of the coveted emblem. COLLEGE SPIRIT Our attention is called to the fact almost every day that some students always seem to be behind with their work. The amazing ' thing is that they never make any desperate effort to put their best into their work. Every student is liable to get behind with his work on account of sickness or unavoidable circumstances, but no one needs to remain there. With the last half of the semester at hand and with the Colgate victory safely tucked away, we must get down to real business in our college work. The year Is far enough advanced for every man to be able to show a reasonable gain in his quest for knowledge. It ia a crime against a man's own self to be less than it is possible for him to be. The collie spirit that last week was directed so effectively a ainst the power of Colgate must be sent with even greater force nto our scholastic work. Triumphs in the class room ought to be ju-t as great collegiate achie'ements as to come out of an athletic contest victor. ru..t;c0 Wendell P. Stafford of the Supreme Court of the District Columbia has given the following definition of college spirit: "College spirit is a bold and hardy determination to cultivate and d.sc'pK-ie our powers, with the aid of all that men have learned be- ore as- ad tben to tb wnole stream of our Pwer mto the nAle tasks of our own time." Students of Syracuse, put the same determination into your college work that you put into your pleasures. We dont want you all to wear Phi Beta Kappa keys, but every Syracusan should at least be a winner in the academic battles of a college career. Syra cuse DUy Orange. Friday.

She was well supported by her com pany of Norwegian players. Madame Hammer showed great ver satility in her interpretation of the character of Nora Helmer. She was charming and vivacious as the pam pered doll and showed great dramatic skill in the heavy scenes. All of the members of the cast interpreted their roles with skill and distinction. This play was of particular interest to followers of university drama be cause it was presented last year by the University Players. The cast was as follows: Torvald Helmer Rolf Hammer Nora, his wife Borgny Hammer Dostor Rank Mortimer Martini Mrs. Lind Winifred Taylor Nils Krogstad Knowles Enttckin Anna, the nurse Caroline Lee Helee, the maid Mae Anderson The action takes place in Helmer's To the Daily Nebraskan: We attended the mass meeting of the university students in Memorial hall December 2, and we wonder It the action of the student body in passing the first resolution at that meeting is a true indication of the thought that the majority give to natter of such great Importance or did they feel that they were compe tent to judge as to the location of blame in the Dresent coal crisis? We wonder further if the framers of this resolution had studied the matter sufficiently to form an accurate opinion as to who is at fault in this matter. If they had formed such opinion after careful consideration and study, why did they fail to defend the resolution as they presented it? We wonder also if the chairman of this meeting was not at fault in per mitting action to be taken on this resolution without first giving op portunity for discussion from the floor. Is this not a clear cut example of that too prevalent fault common to all of us which is responsible for our thoughtlessness and readiness to form snap judgments, on matters of this character? As university stud ents favored as we are with the priv ileges of this educational institution let us give to those matters which concern the welfare and life of the ration that careful thought and con sideration which marks the truly pa triotic American citizen, and remem ber that Justice and fairness are the foundations of our institutions.
