STUDENTS ASKED TO
AID MEMORIAL FUND
An 'opportunity to participate in
one df the significant acts of history
presents itself to every campus in
habitant this week. This is the cam
paign for "America's Gift to Fiance"
which is b. ing directed by Prof. Clara
ronklin. chairman of the department
of modern languages. As was the
case in erecting the monument for
LaFayotte, it is planned to let this
memorial he contributed by the larg
est possible number of givers. The
memorial is to take the form of a
colossal statue which will mark the
pot where France stayed the forward
advance of the German hordes in
their onward rush towards Paris.
The plan originated in America late
in 1917.
The executive committee has sent
Trof. ( onklin a folder in which the
history that marks the spot Is vividly
told "There's a little wooden cross
at the farther end of the Marne
bridge at Meaux. The ancient village
carpenter set it thereby the roadside
where the poppies grow, six years ago
come September. The simple peas
ants' tale is that God marked the
Place -u ith his finger in the sand
and smiled. The German drive on
Paris was to end there." "The Ger
mans march on Paris" read the head
lines. "Cruel Relentless Crushing
everything in its way Death and
desolation. In all the years of the
war no German boot advanced a
single stride beyond that spot."

Faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control.

ness and love. "The best way to get
rid of discord," he said, "is to sing
the true note." The attention of the

occasional laughter in response to
some witticism of Dr. Kurtz.

GOOD MATERIAL
FOR BALL TEAM
Large Number of Men Turning
Out for Daily Diamond
Practice.
Interest In the great national pas
time is rapidly increasing in the Corn
husker camp and the dally workouts
at the M street park are giving Coach
Schissler an Idea of just what kind
of material he has with which to
form a team that will uphold the
Scarlet and Cream against the strong
est schools of the West. A large
number of candidates are reporting
daily for practice and enthusiasm has
reached a high pitch. A good prac
tice was held yesterday in spite of
adverse weather conditions.
In the near future Coach Schissler
plans to stage competitive tryouts,
and sift his quad into two separate
aggregations. Each man on the squad
will be given a chance to compete
and show just what caliber of base
ball he Is capable of playing. These
two teams will stage daily scrimmage
fames. The Freshman team will
also be used in scrimmage work later
on when a varsity team is selected.
Coach Schissler believes that this
will be the best way to handle the
situation. It is practically impossible
to select ten or twelve men from the
present squad and designate them as
first string players. Accordingly he
has hit. upon the plan of dividing the
squad into two groups. Additions
will be made to the two teams from
time to time as necessity requires.
From these two teams the varsity
team will be picked.
With no really high class diamond
performers on his squad, Coach
Schissler faces a stiff proposition in
developing a team that will win from
South Dakota, Drake, Iowa, Kansas or
California. There is little doubt but
that the Pacific school has a great
baseball aggregation, in view of the
protracted invasion of the East that
'hey are making. The Nebraska out
fit is composed of a bunch of ordinary
college ball players but none of them
are by any means capabb? of showing
big league form as yet. Schissler is
firmly convinced, however, that he
will produce a team that will bring
credit to the Cornhusker school.
YOU NEVER CAN TELL
ABOUT THE WEATHER
Oh. ye jolly days of spring of
'hich we had a taste!
Galoshes were being relegated to
the background and the long-hairea
fur of coats and scarfs was being
stored away with the advent of what
appeared to be a new season. But be
ware, ye blithesome, "co-ed" and whin
ling male. The groundhog had the
misfortune to behold his unbeautu'ul
and shapeless silhouette and we are
fated to suffer the wrath of outragea
-roundhogs and breezy March winds.
"In the spring a young man's fan
cy lightly turns to thoughts of love"
hut a "co-ed's" father sighingly turns
to leaves of check books. Wardrobes
challenge and shop windows beckon.
"Satan, get thee behind her," prays
dad. as daughter extends her honey-and-almond-cream
hand. Pollyanna
consolations, pap of "co-ed!" Be glad
you're her dad! What will he do who
is to provide for her during three
quarters of her life?
Yea, and the poets! Don't forget
them. They will begin to pour forth
their blissful lines of unmeasured mu
sic that nobody wants to sing. Trans
fixed they will stand about on our
verdant pastures and meadowlands
and chant odes to "ye spring." We
owe them something. What shall i
be, fellow-sufferers? Oh, poetry,
where is they rhyme? Oh, verse, where
is thy metre?
You gladly heralded the spring. At
the same time you breathed .o do it,
you inhaled germs of spring fever.
