JACK AUSTIN
DAILY NEBRASKAN'S 1920-21 PLATFORM FOR
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA
1. The Single Tax System.
2. Speedy Realization of the Greater Nebraska University.
3. Campus Democracy.
THE SPIRIT'S THE THING!
Spirit makes the school and school makes spirit, according to
those who have studied the ways of campus life. But spirit is not
so easy to grasp that the first days of registration week make you
overflowing with it if you are a Freshman. Registration days are
trying and spirit finds scarcely a place along with assignment com
mittees and advisers.
But the spirit of Nebraska, although camouflaged somewhat, is
there, although it may be "under cover." If Nebraska authorities
had no spirit for the school, they would not care whether or not
registration was made simpler, and assuredly enrollment this year
was made easier for first-year students.
It is argued that at schools the size of Columbia in New York
City, where 25,000 students form a city of their own, school spirit is
a forgotten word in a live language. At Nebraska with her 5,000
students spirit should dominate. When the lure of the sawdust field
and the kick-off sends throngs into the gates of Nebraska field and
the cheer-leaders start the old Cornhusker Chant, spirit goes up one
thousand per cent on the Nebraska market.
Freshmen, do not just'"attend" school. Think school, live school,
breathe school, and last of all find such a large place for true Corn
husker spirit that the army of Nebraskans will be united in their
drive for a better University.
In the editorial above we could very nicely have used many
synonyms for the word "spirits But does such a word, with such a
mighty meaning, become hackneyed with repetition? We believe not,
and feel that no word conveys the exact meaning that "spirit" com
municates. "Spirit" is the word and the only word that applies.
CAMPUS ACTIVITIES.
Freshmen this week should begin to think of school activities
and campus life. They are now a cog In the mighty Cornhusker
machine and this machine will only perform perfectly when every
part Is in running order.
A Freshman asked yesterday what was meant by a "school
activity."
This expression includes so much and is so wide in scope that
the Freshmen have a broad field of endeavor to choose from. Activi
ties on the campus include sports of all kinds, work on the student
publications, work for student organizations and enterprizes and
participation in anything that will put Nebraska on the map as a
"live" school which accomplishes "live" things.
Affiliate with some campus organization this week if possible
and start working for Nebraska.
OLD MAN AWGWAN MAKES HIS DEBUT.
Awgwan, Nebraska college comic which ranks alon with Life
and Judge as a gloom-dispeller, will make its 1920 debut some time
this week. Subscriptions will gladly be taken by vivacious co-eds at
2.00 for the nine issues that comprise the yearly output of Ne
braska's humorists. mc3t
If you like human-interest stories about interesting people, clever
rtoons and witticisms, you will find that a deposit of $2.00 in the
Awgwan coffers will more than furnish you with a good supply or
light reading.
Awgwan has been quoted by the Literary Digest in its "Topics
of the Day" on the screen and the Cornhusker school has received
national prominence through this means of recognition. Incidentally
the comic of Nebraska has shared in this prominence.
Awgwan Is -valtlng for you to subscribe. "Eventually, why not
now?"

"DADDY LONG-LEGS" A
BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE
First Offering of Alumni Players
is Success Elisabeth Brown
Plays Judy.
"The best amateur production in
several years," Is the verdict of those
who attended the first performance
of "Daddy Long Legs" last Saturday
evening.
The role of Miss Judy Abbott, taken
by Elizabeth Brown, ex-'21, was very
ably done. Miss Brown put every
emotion of which she was master
into her interpretation of abused
little Judy and at many times during
the play, made her scenes so real
that those in the audience felt that
they must turn away that they were
looking at and listening to something
not intended for them. Neil Brown,
played Jervis Pendleton with great
emotion and won many compliments
Something About the Story.
Judy Abbott Is a talented little
orphan in whom Essie Zumwinkle as
Miss Pritchard Is interested. Mrs.
Pendleton Is a woman-hater but is
persuaded by Miss Pritchard to send
Judy to college. Judy Is told that a
trustee who wishes to be known ss
Mr. Smith Is to send her to school
and she is to write him every month.
But Judy sees Mr. Pendleton's shadow
as he leaves the asylum and names
him "Daddy Long Legs."
Judy starts her college career with
Jervis' cousin, Julia Pendleton ("de
scended from the Mayflower") and
Sallie McBride whose parts are done
by' True Jack and Eleanor Fogg.
These two with Louis Horne as
Jimmie McBride, Sallie's brother, kept
their listeners rocking with mirth at j
their clever witticisms.
Judy meets Jervis Pendleton at a
tea given by Julia and the friendship
that started there changes into a mu
tual love. Judy has never told any-
I
BECAUSE :
The food is substantial and well-cooked, and there
is a satisfying variety.
The environment is as attractive and as clean as the
most up-to-date equipment and the most careful
management can make it.
The service is quick.
Continuous Service
from 7 A. M. to
to 7:30 P. M.
Students who have 8 o'clock mil find it a fine place
to get breakfast in a hurry especially since our
recent 100 per cent enlargement in service equipment.

-Stack
one that she Is an orphan and refuses
to marry Jervis because she thinks
he would not love her if he knew.
She writes Daddy Long Legs and
tells him she loves Jervis and why
she has refused him and on the day
he receives the letter she is finally
allowed to come to meet Daddy Ixng
Legs. The scene in which she dis
covers that the characters of Daddy
and ervis Pendleton are identical was
remarkably well done and completely
carried the hearers away.
Cast Well Chosen.
The fine children who were orphan
kiddies were wonderfully natural and
elicited much merriment.
Leone Mills, as the sour Mrs. Lip-
pett, the asylum matron, played her
part flawlessly. Equally good were
Cleo Cather Young as Mr. Semple and
Essie Zumwinkle as Miss Pritchard.
The minor parts were also done with
out flaw.
The cast was well chosen, the play
has been a great success everywhere
and a preliminary performance at the
State Penitentiary smoothed down
any defects In the scenes. All this
combined with the splendid interpre
tations made the play a remarkable
success.
There will be two more perform
ances of "Daddy Long Legs" and those
who do not go will miss a rare treat
