ranted rumor to reach the ears of the
captain?
But two weeks before playing one
of the greatest football teams in
America, and but a month before
playing Syracuse, the pride of the
east, the team is informed by rumor
that the students suspect that it has
not been delivering in a clean-cut
fashion.
Eastern sport critics, in recent
wire dispatches, observed that Ne
braska morale beat Notre Dame last
year and that the same force might
beat her again this year. When
they hear of these insidious remarks
that have reached the ears of the
Husker captain, do you think that
they will change their minds? Ne
braska should be ashamed.
Student Opinion.
Contributions to this column are very
welcome and invited. Student opinion is
valuable to the editorial staff of the paper.
consequently we welcome it.
To the Editor:
I believe that the freshman, whose
letter appears in yesterday's "rag,"
is wrong in his attitude towards the
wearing of the green cap.
I am a freshman and am proud
rather than ashamed of the fact. I
am not ashamed to be seen wearing
a green cap. hy should l Del it

GREEN CAPS.
Freshmen are sending in opinions
on the green cap regulation. To
date there have been two opinions
against wearing the green caps and
one for the regulation. This matter
was treated from an editorial point
where. In our government and in
foreign government cutom regulates
many very important things. Laws
grew out of customs in the days when
governments were forming. If cus
toms are swept away chaos results.
I have never been accused of

STUDENT DIRECTORY.
After several weeks of hard work
compiling the long list of names of
students, the directory has appeared
upon the campus. It is out rather
early this year and is as complete as
the board was able to make it. ' No
big campaign is fostered to sell the
booklets for students have always
bought them readily and it is hoped
that they will respond as well this
year.

be used for many important meetings.
The Iron Sphinx used the stadium,
the Innocents used the drill field,
and the only other time that the
campus is ever used is for Ivy day.
Eastern colleges gain their won
derful spirit by merit of the fact
that they use their campuses. They
rally to the standard, or as in one
college, they have an old cannon in
the center of the campus and it is
used as a rallying place for a few
moments every night.
A big move for Nebraska would
be a united attempt at encouraging
meetings on the campus or in the
stadium. Such a move could bet
ter be accomplished if there were
a "fraternity row."

"There are five and a half millions
of illiterates in the United States,"
asserted Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart,
founder of the famous moonlight
schools of Kentucky, befora the So

Monday. "Nearly four millions of
these unfortunates are native-born
Americans, and 14,000 are to be
found in our own state of Nebraska.
"This is the educational era," she
said, "yet, in the city of Lincoln,

spreads disease, enslaves labor, and
touhes every phase of society. It
limits commerce; it is something for
the business man to figure in profit
and loss.
Mrs. Stewart stressed heavily the
parts of the schools. "This prob
lem," she declared "belongs first to
the teachers. With teaching as a
profession, they should be especially
interested in helping these people
from a deplorable condition. Illiter
