Business Manager Otto Skold Circulation Manager THE DUTY OF THE CADETS. The quality of the work done today and tomorrow by the cadets that comprise the R. 0. T. C. unit of the University of Nebraska will be by far the greatest factor in the decision of the inspecting officers who are picking the twenty-five best units in the United States. The officers that have been sta tioned here and who have been train ing the cadets all year have done everything in their power to whip the local unit into the best possible trim for the yearly inspection. They must now step aside and leave the fate of the unit in the hands of the cadets themselves. Will you, cadets, be equal to the task? You are asked to give only two days of your time that the Uni versity of Nebraska be ranked along side of the largest and oldest schools in the United States. Nebraska has ranked high in mili tary circles since General Pershing was commandant. The military de partment here is forty-eight years old and its improvement and devel opment has been steady and contin uous. It is up to the regiment to so per form before the inspection officers that they report it aj being one of the finest units in the country. Every cadet has a personal responsibility, the same as is borne by every member of a Nebraska team. That is to keep . Nebraska among the leaders. Cadets, do your part. THE LAST TOUCH. After two months of hard work and constant practice, students of the Uni versity of Nebraska will appear in the "Wishing Ring," musical production sponsored by the Kosniet Klub. The production this year is more elaborate than ever. The number of principles has been increased and the best talent in every line has been pressed into service. It is truly an all-star production. Nebraska might well be proud of Cyril C'iombs. He wrote the play. He composed the music ani words. He helped pick the cast. He directed the show. To him, and members in the Kosmet Klub, is due the glory and praise. The last dress rehearsal was held last night. All is in readiness and the large advance ticket sale is an indicator of the interest with which the campus awaits the show. A except of course where the daily grind of studies takes them. Illinois, they tell us, is the one in stitution in the middle west that has no radical group, or even no notice able liberal group among the student body. At other institutions, we are told, these little groups congregate; they discuss Freud and other subjects, perhaps there is an occasional paci fist in the group, but at any rate they are thinking and are not in the ac customed rut. . Right here, perhaps, our readers are gasping. They are saying that such a group has no place in a Uni versity such as ours but we think that it might well have, although it has not in the past The world is chang ing, our old prejudices and beliefs, our fears and tremors are slowly be-. ing ironed out in the face of facts and new ideas. They are talking of doing away with war, of a new bro therhood of mankind, of a New Youth Movement, and is is not all idle talk. Illinois, we think, might well foster such independent and forward think ing. It need not be radical in the sense of the yellowed press; it need not even be idealistic although ideals snould be constantly present. It need only have as its motto, "New Truth, New Fields of Knowledge to Enter and Discuss." Independent, advanced thinking is what has builded up our civilization to its present heights. Had not our forefathers dared to think differ ently and act differently in the face of oppression, our land would not be the glorious democracy that it is. It is this kind of thinking that is going to bring us constantly upward toward a new emancipation, an emancipation from present difficulties. Illinois, we think, needs a liberal club and a free thinking group of students. BRITISH EDITOR WILL ADDRESS CONVOCATION Sidney F. Wicks Will Speak Monday on "Labor and the Labor Party. Sidney F.

" Thought, especially when .it is slightly out of the beaten rut that has been traversed by countless minds or when it is ahead of that of the realms that travel as one, is strangely negligible at the Univer-ity. Our daily lives, our routine and our most intimate solve? are all too wrapped op in the little details that go to make up our existence; we think of dates, of what kind of bob or shingle to get, of whether or not the Cubs won, and beyond that the majority rarely go Mother's Day, Sunday May 11th.
