DON' HOLD UP THE "RAG" LINE.
Holding up the "Rag" line lias be
come a habit with a few students.
Each morning when the "Rag" is
being distributed they deliberately
walk up to the postoffice window, re
gardless of the group of students who
have formed an, orderly line, and
secure their "Rag." Saving time?
Yea, for themselves. But what about
the fifty or hundred students waiting
in line? Surely the line hold ups
have not seriously thought of the
breach of courtesy they are commit
ting. To realize this they need only
stand In line and watch a class-mate
march gallantly off with a "Rag" with
out waiting his turn.
Imagine the congestion in Station A
if all the students insisted upon the
privilege of walking in ahead of
everybody else to get his "Rag." For
the benefit of those who have ap
parently assumed that they are in
the Privileged Character claR it
might be suggested that personal
impressions are sometimes lasting.
HIGH PRICES.
High prices which prevail in bin
coin will force a number of students
to drop out of school at the end of
the semester. The cost of all com
modities are on a war basis. Very
few of the necessities of life have
dropped appreciably. On the other
hand, the students have felt keenly
the drop In farm and other products.
lanre number of students at the
University come from the farm. Ne
braska Is an agricultural state and
it is only to be expected that the
enrollment at the state University
would be one highly representative of
Nebraska farms. Nebraska has only
two ciUes with a population of over
50.000. The remaining cities and
towns are dependent directly on the
farms for their trade. Students who
come from out in the state, whether
from town or farm, are dependent
directly on farm products for their
university education. Merchants who
are holding their prices at the pin
nacle, who refuse to drop their
charges to a safe and sane basis, are
forcing a great many students to drop
out of school. This will not only
hurt the student and the University
but will react on the merchants as
well. Amusements, entertainment and
luxuries of all kinds have raised to
an impossible price and it will be
necessary for these to drop to a more
reasonable scale before students can
make use of them to the extent they
have In the past
MAY PLAY HARVARD.
There remains a possibility that
Nebraska will meet the Harvard
eleven next fall. Such a game would
mean that the team would possibly
invade the aristocratic east again.
Nebraska was a missionary for west
ern football to the east this fall and
her showing at the Polo Grounds was
excellent The Penn State game was
one of the hardest fought grid battles
of the season and the breaks went
rong. Nebraska has a wealth of
material for next season and with
Captain Swanson to lead there is
Uttl doubt but that the Huskers will
1U one of the swiftest teams in the
history of the University, in the fall
of 1921 Only two players are forced
to drop from the team next fall.
Captain Day and Ernest Hubka. Both
men have served the Cornhusker team
their full term and have done it well.
The twenty remaining letter men have
the experience and the ability to put
Nebraska to the front'ia the east as
well as in the west A splendid group
of Freshmen athletes have been dis
covered on the gridiron. In fact there
is an abundance of material with
vr.vro.it can develop a tam
wmcn
next fall that will throw former Ne
braska team, in the shade. With this
material fully
ganization working we"
team would make a big hit in the
Pat Tntersectional football is be
coming more and more noar aeh
year The eastern trip of the Husk
ers, the Washington State College
game and a number f ofhe.-j that
have been made this ytar
w!'h favor from all ancie. " '
nly possible thj 'here will be a
i
larger number of intersectlonal foot
ball games next fall but it is very
probable. And Nebraska, playing
Harvard, would put the west iu Tavor
with the east more than any other
combination that could be arranged.
Nebraska will have one of the strong
est teams west of the Mississippi.
Harvard is rated as one of the top
notchers in the east, A game between
thee two universities would be an
ideal one and would set a precedent
for more intersectlonal games in years
to come.
CLASS MIXERS.
Class mixers are held in order that
the students of the class may be
come better acquainted with one an
other. It is a sad thing for a class
when the spirit of that class wanes
to the extent that but a few of the
students of that class will attend the
mixer and get acquainted with their
fellow classmen. Of late the mixers
have had but a small proportion of
the enrollment represented x at their
class atTairs. The gymnasium is not
large enough to hold all the students
in the University at one time but it
has had ample space for all the stu
dents who have so far attended the
class mixers. These get-togethers are
the forerunners of the class reunion.
In the future the students who have
been passing up their opportunities to
get acquainted with the other stu
dents will regret deeply that they
have failed to make more friends in
the University. When the class re
unions are held they will know but a
few of the many faces that they see
on the campus.
THEY NEED AN OFFICE.
The Cornhusker staff is "raring" to
go. The sales campaign is over and
everything in readiness for publishing
the greatest annual in the history of
the University. Everything is set but
they have no office in which to do
their work. Efforts have been made
to secure an office but as yet there
is none in sight. The usual lack of
space is again in evidence and it may
be necessary for the Cornhusker siatT
to postpone its work until space is
secured. The other publications have
been forced to use one room for the
two during the past few years but it
is impossible to crowd the Cornhusker
staff into the same office with them.
The ornhusker deserves space as
much as a number of the organiza
tions which are now on the campus
and it is up to some one to see that
room is made for the annual. Nothing
can be done until room is prepared
and the Cornhusker takes a lot of
time and effort in its evolution. The
sooner an office is prepared for the
6taff the quicker they will be able to
get to work on the annual and the
quicker the staff gets to work the
better the annual will be. Some one
holds the strings to the supply of
office space and surely there is some
space that can be used for the pub
lication of this year's Cornhusker.
CITY SWIMMING
POOL COMPLETED
Lincoln's new municipal swimming
pool, across from the high school has
been finally completed and may be
filled at any time. Since there will
be no one waiting to take a cold
plunge, these December days, the pool
in hn used as a skating rink. It
will be possible to construct a wooden
framework in teh deepest parts to
eliminate all danger of drowning.
This will provide a large unobstructed
expanse of ice some 100 feet wide and
225 feet long.
The city plan to buinl a pavilion
next spring, with dressing rooms and
lockers, for the safe keeping of per
sonal property, while the owners are
enjoying "a dip in the briny deep.
They also intend to install a purify
ine apparatus for the water, and to
plant shrubbery and grass seed around
both the pavilion and the pool. Con
6equenUy this will fit In with the
rest of the park system. $20,000 has
already been spent on the pool. This
does not include the pavilion, the
water purifying machinery, or the
landscape work, in fact nothing but
the pool itself. No estimates have
been made on this additional work,
but it Is evident that the expense of
the finished Improvement will ba
large.
A high school boy was waiting at a
small town station when some loung
ers thought they would "string" him
s bit. After listening to their vari
ous wonderful stories about cow,
pigs and horses he took a hand In fh
game.
"Last year," said he. "I went In for
scientific rhlrken raising an'l sli'fc
feed man sold me sawdust for bran.
I fed this sawdust to one of our hens
Well, that hen hatched & brood ;
chicks but the trouble was that nine
had wooden legs and th other two
were woodpeckers."

Law Clubs Prepare
Interesting Programs
The John Marshall and Roscoe
Pound law clubs met in the Law Col
lege Thursday evening at 7:30. The
clubs are now working on trial cases
in contracts and torts in preparation
for trials and debates that are sched
uled for future dates. The following
reports were issued by the two clubs:
John Marshall Club.
"The John Marshall Club held an
interesting program Thursday eve
ning. The principle attraction in the
scheduled work was a spirited argu
ment in which the state brought an
action at bar against the defendant
for felony. The attorneys for the
state were Mr. Boyd and Mr. Adams.
Mr. Kischel and Mr. Beck acted as
attorneys in behalf of the defendant.
The argument Introduced was very
ably executed. Mr. Weldo C. Jones
was presiding judge over the action
at bar. A decision was rendered in
favor of the state. Dean Seavey.
faculty advisor for the club, presented
several valuable suggestions as to
court procedure. In addition to the
regular cases the program committee
expects to furnish some special enter
tainment for the next meeting."
Roscoe Pound Club.
"The Ropcoe Pound Club also met
Thursday evening. November 2. Vice
President Samuelson presided. A
case in contracts was tried. The
plaintiff was represented by Sidner.
Ed. Gardner and Turner. J. J. Brown.
G. Brown and Johnson argued in be
half of the defendant The faculty
advisor, G. N. Foster, was presiding
Judge. The verdict was rendered for
the plaintiff. Afier trying the case.
a general discussion was held upon
the previous "arguments. They also
decided to secure a bulletin board
which would be used by the club to
post notices. A series of such trial
cases will be held in order to give
each member an active part In court
procedure."

down in It, her head leaned back so
that she is looking up into the face "of

Now he reaches his arm around her
Her head Is pressed against his hear.
Speech at this time would be impor

low earnest voice he says: "Well, I
simply cannot help hurting you a lit

Again we hear only silence. Thev
seem perfectly contented.

Theatre Review
Always Audacious Param
Wallace Reld, easily the matine,
idol of motion pictures, is fortnnats
in having good scenarios provided for
him. "Always Audacious." taken
from the Saturday Evening p
story bearing the same name t,
French, is without doubt the best
vehicle be has had in a lonR period
and can be ranked as one of the bast
pictures of the current year.
Matinee idol "stuff" is put fay jB
the background in this picture, va).
lace Reid plays a dual role they t
come to it sooner or later. But
does not detract from the picture, in
spite of the fact that at tlmea th
audience gets the two characters i
mixed up as they did themselves.
Margaret Loomis plays onnogit
"WWally."
The story has to do with a wealth)
clubman and a clever forger bth
paits played by M. Reid. Boca
the forger looked so much like tli
clubman, hewas taken for him manj
times at a fashionable San Francisco
hotel. With this, beginning, the crook
decided that he would rather be Ui
clubman thar. the forger. He shipt
Mr. Fashionable to South America
as a consequence, and takes possess
ion of the other's estate and business
It was not until the dog of the club
man recognizzed him that his asno

to prove his ilentlty. .
