Results of the Cornhusker drive to sell the 1924 yearbook are proving very gratifying, not only from the viewpoint of the number of books sold, but also from the viewpoint of Cornhusker spirit. The spirit and loyalty which the students and cam pus organizations are showing in helping to put this drive across is to be commended, and. Nebraska may be proud of the school spirit that the success of this drive indicates. While lacking the thrills and ex citement found in the heat of a foot ball campaign, such a drive as is being carried on by the Cornhusker this week is just important a time to show school spirit and loyalty as be fore the annual Notre Dame game. The spirit that is being manifested in the Cornhusker drive shows that the wonderful school enthusiasm born before the Notre Dame game hasn't died, but is still alive and an integral part of the Cornhusker institution. NOT POSSIBLE. City Ordinance 1631 of Lincoln, which prohibits a public dance to con tinue after 11:30, makes impossible the granting of the request of the cadet officers to continue the military ball tonight until 12:30 or a later hour. This ordinance, under which the military ball would fall, declares further that anyone remaining at a public dance later than 11:30 is vio lating the ordinance. - But suppose, perhaps, that this ordinance couid be violated with im punity by the officers in charge of the ball. The impropriety of such action on the part of the University would be serious. If the University, wnich is supposed to develop respect for the laws, would contenance the violation of a city law by students, who could prophesy the bad opinion of the University and University students which would be broadcast by such conduct? Especially at a time when the University is being constantly subjected to the criti cism of the most searching eyes in the state, the amount of harm that would be done the University by such action could hardly be forecast. lem connected with the violation of this rule is. even more fundamental In this violation of a rule we see what seems to be characteristic of Americans, It is an unwillingness on the part of the individual to obey a law which he does not favor. On the campus we see the beginning of what turns out to be a serious prob lem in political life. The student who smokes on the campus sees his atti tude carried to its logical conclusion by the violaters of the eighteenth amendment and of the speed laws. The fact that the students do not receive training fro obey laws, even though they do not believe in them, is, in itself, a reproach to both the educational system and the student. If a student does not learn to assume his obligations as a citizen, his uni versity course is useless, no matter how much Latin, chemistry and liter ature he may know. 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. CAPTAINS Captains to lead the 1924 Corn husker football and cross-country teams have been chosen. To each of these two men has come one of the greatest honors that the University can bestow, and we wish to congrat ulate them. Both of these men were outstanding performers on their re spective athletic teams this fall, and their honors are richly earned. The tasks, which they have before them- as leaders of Cornhusker ath letic teams cannot be overestimated. Their duty it is to show the way to the other men on their teams, to set an example by their efforts, and to instill in each man on the team the spirit of co-operation and loyalty that has always characterized Ne braska's athletic teams. Their position demands that they be leaders of men. When Nebraska is losing, or things look dark, it is the captain who is called upon to inspire the team to greater and no bler efforts. The captain must set an example for his men to follow, and upon the success of his indivi dual efforts, the uccess of the team efforts largely depend. Captains Weir and Zimmerman, we congratulate you, and wish you success and new honor as captains of Nebraska's athletic teams. Dear Editor: The football season is over and there are men who have played their game for Nebraska and for inter collegiate football. Outstanding from the group, one can pick Captain Verne Lewellen as the type of a man who typifies everything that is good in a man, in a football player, and in a leader of the Cornhuskers. In every game that he played, he was a moral force. He was sincere in his efforts and bore his load of responsibility with a grim silence even when scandal-mongers broke loose with their poison. He was a leader, he was a real Cornhusker, and he commanded the admiration and re spect of every man who saw him play or had the opportunity to meet him. He has played his last game for Ne braska but he has left his name be hind. He will be remembered as the man who lead the Cornhuskers of 1923. He will be remembered as the captain who faced early-season setbacks with determination to win the next game. Whether he be re membered by name or by deeds, his career at Nebraska has made a better Nebraska by virtue of his presence in the student body. Verne Lewellen has played his final game for Nebraska. He spoke at his last rally as captain of the foot ball team. He expressed regret at leaving. Students express the same measure of regret and feel that Ne braska has lost a valuable leader, a valuable student, and a man well worthy of the name of a great Corn husker. EMMETT V.

A "representative Cornhus ker" should hesitate before drinking pop of wearing loud ties-7-he might not run true to type if he did. ine awful knowledge that you are, out of five thousand students, "representative," would seem to me ghastly. Of course, I'm not "repre sentative," but I imagine the thought I had been selected as a "type" of 5,000 odd students would peek at me out of the dark and leer at me when I turned out the lights In ' conclusion, my dear editor, I think "representative Cornhuskers" are the apertures in the macaroni. Their selection is about as uniform as the husbands of Irene Castle, and the responsibility is greater than Coolidge's. v I know however, that like mid semester examinations, we'll alwaysJ have "representative Cornhuskers" only I hope the "representatives" don't take themselves too seriously.

A Dear Editor: I see that the time for all-Ameri can football teams and "representa tive Cornhuskers" has rolled around! again. I I'm too awed by the personalties of Walter Camp and Eckersall to say ' anything about their gridiron selec-1 tions, but I'd like to make a few' comments in passing on this "repre- i sentative Cornhusker" business. Selection of "representative Corn buskers" is always a source of genu ine amusement to me. Choosing five girls and five boys who are to bear the burden of being typical Nebras kans "representative Cornhuskers" has always seemed laughable. I didn't know "representative Cornhusker," were in season again until I saw a girl with her pencil to mouth trying to remember the name of that "sweet" fellow she met at open house and who played on the football team. Picking out five persons as types seems unfair, not only to them, but also to the masses of untypicaL Is the gratification the fire receive able to compensate for the sad knowledge of the other four thousand nine hun dred and ninety students that they aren't representative? Then, again, look at the responsi bility the ten "representatives' re- Special Garden Court Toilet Goods sale this week.
