Today at Three.
At three o'clock this afternoon the
" deaDS of the colleges of Nebraska
meet with Chancellor Avery to decide
whether or not the student body of
our school -will be dismissed Friday
and Saturday of next week so that
Thanksgiving day may toe celebrated
at their homes.
The Innocents, the honorary senior
mens" organization, is in favor of the
holiday. These men, picked as me
strongest and most representative
men in the upper class, have judge
ment and would sponsor no move of
thia kind unless they thought it ad
visable. Yesterday a. survey of the school
of the size of Nebraska was made and
in a majority of the cases investigat
ed these universities have a recess
following Thanksgiving day.
Several weeks ago the Student
Council, the vote of the school at
large, voted as one, that it very
strongly favored the Thanksgiving re
cess. The faculty is in favor of partial
student government and the develop
ment of student ideals. If this recess,
is not granted it will sound the death
note of the Council and hurt the faith
the school has had in its one repre
sentative body.
A petition, which has been copied
and recopied many times, alreaday
bears the signatures of over two
thousand Nebraskans and as yet has
not been pushed to reach many stud
ents of our school.
The light friendships of the college
year cannot be compared to the ones
that have been a lifetime in the mak
ing. The home, with friends and relat
ives, who in many cases have come
a thousand miles just for this day,
puts out a mighty call. Wouldn't the
day here seem mighty shallow?
On the one side, of course, will be
the classes lost on Friday and Satur
day, while on the other hand, are the
many heartaches among the mothers,
the fathers, and sisters, and sweet
heats, in the state, who for months
have been looking forward to having
the intimate little talks and reports
on the pleasant experiences ot the
school year. Doesn't the second over
balance the first?
Perhaps a few things will he learned
In the two days, but the spirit with
which the work should be attacked
will be lacking. Why does a football
team rest on the Sunday and Monday
after a big game? Because they can
work with a will after the days of
rest, and their morale is thus in
creased. In the same way the stud
ents, after their grilling mid-semesters
would like these days to recuperet,
to get in trim for another sprint
In this school 1s a young lady who
lost her mother Jus,t before she enter
ed the university. For weeks she anti
pated the trip to her father and home,
and when she found that it was im
possible, It was mighty hard, while
she sobbed as If her heart would
break, for one of our faculty women to
tell her that it was no use. How
hollow the day will be for her.
And what of the traditions of our
country? Universities are the creating
centers for the idealists and the lead
ers of our country they bring out the
dominant ones that are to uphold the
spirit, the traditions and the patrlot
imra of our country. How better can
we teach these men and women these
things than by upholding and respect
ing them now?
Thanksgiving la our oldest and most
cherished American holiday during the
school year and is one that is always
carried out more in the home than
any other place.
Here, then is a situation that means
so much and can be so easily grant'
ed and yet is denied for what reason
I know not The extra day gained will
be . more than lost in the lack of int
erest in the work and the feeling that
the situation will create. As those a
home will be thinking of us, so will
the students. In turn be thinking of
them. It is the first time a great
many have been away from home for
any length of time, and as to the up
perolassmen, it is their first oppor
tunity to go back to their home for
a gathering of family and friends from
far and near since the beginning of
school.
What then shall we give thanks
for? To be able to stay here and think
of those at home, to make the day
one of gloom and sorrow when it
should and could be one of sunshine
and happiness spent among those we
long to see.
Students may be momentarily int-
prnmted bv a short vacation but
what shall be the price paid for such
a short unbroken addition to each
course? For once, it seems to me,
someone has set too high a price,
chat of thanksgiving, happiness, and
good feeling among the students for
too small a gain.

STUDENT OPINION
To the Editor of the Dally Nebraskan:
Being requested to sign a petitioa
for a vacation of three days for
Thanksgiving, I really came to real
ise what it means not only to the
student body to remain in Lincoln
over Thanksgiving bat what it must
mean to their parents and friends at
Silver Serpents and' XI Deltas.
Silver Serpents and Xi Deltas who
have money from the Red .Cross
drive turn it in to Bob Henderson at
Ellen Smith hall on Monday between
4 and 6, of Tuesday between 11 and

Cornhusker Queries
The Cornhusker Queries depart
ment is for the benefit of the stud
ents, so why not make use of it?
We will be glad to find out anything
you want to know. Send in a query.
Q. How was the building of U hall
accomplished?
A. The manner in which U hall
was built seems almost unbelleveable
to us. Lumber from Chicago was ship
ped to Nebraska City from which it
was hauled to Lincoln, a distance of
3ixty-five miles. Ten dollars a cord
was paid for wood to burn brick
which was hauled from twenty to
thirty-five miles. Naturally it too was
much longer than at the present time.
Q. Who was the second chancellor
of the University?
A. Chancellor Fairfield succeeded
Chancellor Benton in the middle of the
first decade.
Q. What is the enrollment of the
University?
A. The exact figures have not been
compiled but the enrollment is about
4,700.
Q. When was the military depart
ment started here?
A. In 1876 the United States gov
ernment placed a military department
in the University and called it the
Nebraska Cadets."

True 'Nuff.
After a week end of fun and gaity
Of yelling and torch-lights, m
Of feasting and parties
And chattering with folks
Till your tongue goes on a strike
And platters in your mouth.

With the best dancer
You've struck this season;
And feeling so happy
You thought you'ed buBt
One minute, and must
Weep for Joy the next.
All that, and then

With a load of work
Hanging over your head.

Wonderful if It weren't for

A thrill
When you
Noticed an
Electric sign
Flash the lettees
"Beat K. U."
In brilliant array .
On top of
Old U hall
And you point
To it with pride
And say
"The Engineer's did
That. And It Is
Surely a fine
Symbol
Of Nebraska
Spirit!"
And you go home
Dead tired
From a hard
Day of work
And play
And you
Stretch your
Weary Bones
By an open
Window
And lie there
In sweet Tepose
Until
The Electric Sign
Flashes across
Your face
And you wiggle
And wiggle
AH through
The Night
In a Vain Attempt
To Elude its
Piercing flasha
And your friends
Wonder why
You're so

The Delemna of a Freshman.
I wish to say, ere, the reader scans a
line;
This style is borrowed,
And the theme not mine.
I can not claim the words are new;
But nevertheless, the story is true.
I rushed up three flights, on the dou
blo quick,
And up, my pen and paper, straight
way, I did pick,
To release the thoughts, which my
mind did pester,
And to make a grade for the mid
semester. The sun was shining brightly,
And my brainworks running rightly,
If I passed, I'd pass it rightly,
But why a paper so unsightly?
Then all the sudde'h, the paper punct
ured, and the pen point broke;
Gee! I'll not repeat the words I spoke.
For there beneaath my paper carven
' lay,
Many an entwlnnlng Greek Sigma, Phi,
and Kappa.
Long live the Frats! and may their
tribe increase.
On fame, and knowledge, may they
hold a lease.
But here is hoping that they have no
peace,
Until desk carving they do make a
' cease.
Luna Tick.
Iowa may have her Ames (alms),
but Nebraska has a team of fighting
Cornhusker.
Probably In The Checkroom.
We know where the friendly board
walks,
And where the fountains play,
We've found the place where money
talks, i
But where does the corset stay?
