All eyes are turned toward the
Military Department today. Nebraska
wants a 'distinguished rating" from
the War Department. The students be
lieve that the local regiment is one of
the best in the country. They know
that Nebraska's unit at Fort Snelling
made an exceptionally fine record.
Their hope is that Nebraska's military
unit will continue to develop until it J
is unquestionably the equal of any in
American colleges.
From the standpoint of persistance,
accuracy, and thoroughness, the Mili
tary Department here furnishes a fine
exanle to the students.
The world sees too many half-finished
tasks and failures caused by a
lack of persistence and training,
which might well have been of some
use to the world. Carelessness and
ignorance have caused the greatest
failures in the history of mankind. Ac
curacy and thoroughness of prepara
tion would have prevented them.
We continually see people that can
start enterprises. They do a great
many things half way but they cannot
carry one big task to successful com
pletion. They stop just short of effi
ciency. How many people know a
language or two but not quite well
enough to write it and speak it; a
smattering of a science or two but are
not really efficient in any one.
Persistency, accuracy, thoroughness,
and efficiency all are taug-ht and J
drilled into the men of Nebraska's It.
O. T C. The attitude of "getting by"
and the spirit of "Oh, that's good
enough" are turned by the military
department standards into "Only the
best is good enough." Let us all follow
that motto.
Not one in twenty students realizes
the work that lies back of the simple
announcement that appears today,
"Your 1923 Cornhusker will be ready
for distribution next Monday." Ne
braska students responded in a fine
way to the campaign for subscriptions
this winter but hardly any of these
subscribers know the steady work, the
conscientious effort and the school loy
alty that have made possible the Ne
braska year-book.
The editors of this year's annual
have already received the congratula
tions of their printers on the character
and quality of the book. All students
await with more than the usual amount
of interes tthe first appearance of the
year book. .There should be no trou
ble in disposing of the few extra
copies which were printed.
Don't wait until Friday morning to
start registration for next fall. Don't
wait for an appeal from the registra
tion board to begin the job of com
pleting your program for the first se
mester of the coming year.
There are always a certain number
of students who do not seem to be
lieve that registration must be com
pleted within a "week is a' true one.
They seem bound to "holf off" until
the last minute. They not only incon
venience themselves but they add to
the burdens of those who are in
charge of registration. No long reg
istration lines need be experienced if
all underclassmen start today to fill
in their registration blanks.
Have you an auto? Have you read
the letter about the senior pichtc?
Chancellor and Mrs. Avery are fol
lowing their popular custom of enter
taining the wbcle senior class at a
picnic. But they need autos and more
autos to transport the members of
the class to he picnic grounds. Un
derclassmen are not barred but are
urged to have tnelr cars ready for a
one-day celebration on Thursday.
One of the happiest memories of
senior -activities of the alumni
is that of the senior picnic. The an
nual holiday for members of the
graduating class has come to be one
of the most cherished traditions of
grrduation time. The appreciation of
the undergraduates for' the hospital
ity of Chancellor and Mrs. Avery can
best be shown a big response to the
request for automobiles. The cars
are wanted at eight o'clock Thursday
morning In front of Administration
building. The picnic is at Crete and
those furnishing cars are Invited .o
participate in the events of the day.
