A VALLEY MAGAZINE.
Missouri Valley Sports, a weekly
publication devoted to the interests
of conference athletics, has made its
appearance on the campus. This
magazine states that its purpose is to
unify the conference and to promote
all branches of athletics among Val
ley schools by a publication which
will enable each school in the confer
ence to secure weekly reports on ath
letics of the other institutions.
Some such unifying agency in the
Valley is needed, and has been need
ed for some time. Valley institutions
have been unfriendly to one another
and several times have begun move
ments to drop the Valley conference
for the "Big Ten." The day of hos
tility in the conference is passing,
but the more quickly Valley schools
become well-acquainted with their
neighbors, the more quickly will en
mity give way to rivalry based upon
friendship.
Missouri Valley Sports will bring
U' Nebraska knowledge of what is go
ing on at the other universities in all
branches of sports; football is the
only college sport now featured in
the newspapers. The University
should support this publication be
cause it will lead to better Valley ath
letic relations and harmony of action
and thought among Valley schools.
AN EXPLANATION.
There is no god but Drama and
Shakespeare is his prophet so runs
the opinion of Mr. Fritz Leiber, who
couldn't understand why Nebraska
students didn't pack the house to see
him play "Hamlet" and "The Three
Musketeers" last week end. Mr.
Leiber was so moved that he made
special mention of his feelings to the
audience. It is a subject for debate
whether lack of overwhelming enthu
siasm for Shakespeare and Dumas is
an indication of being uncultured.
But the explanation is simple so
simple that Mr. Leiber overlooked it
The great majority of students at Ne
braska cannot afford to attend such
shows with any great regularity, so
they usually do not attend at alL
Perhaps they should pinch and save
so as not to miss any production of
a famous play, but most of them are
too practical. They would rather
spread their enjoyment out a little
than to crowd it into one evening at
a play.
It should not be overlooked that
many students found it financially
impossible for them to see both "Lit
tle Jessie James," with the celebrated
White man orchestra, and Mr. Leib
ers "Hamlet" In a conflict of this
kind there can only be one choice for
a student
Another factor that is important
was also overlooked by Mr. Leiber.
The publicity for his Friday produc
tion, "The Three Musketeers," was
moderate and it was completely
eclipsed by that for another all-absorbing
event the Military Ball
schedule for the same evening. To
note from a front page article in the
Wednesday Nebraskan:
"The ballrtom will be covered with
a mass of flags and thousands of red
and white streamers. The military
effect will be carried out in the serv
ing of refreshments and in the decor
ation of all parts of the auditorium.
"The favors and programs have ar
rived and will be decidedly novel, ac
cording to the chairman. Confetti,
balloons, and other novelties will be
added for the evening's entertain
ment" la the Friday issue:
"Huge flags will form the base of
the decoration, with the military ef
fect produced by guns and swords."
In the Lace of all these promises
and the prediction that the event
"will probably surpass all others of
its kind," students could hardly miss
the affair for a classical play which
will probably be offered several times
in tbs course of the next century.
KEEP THE LIFE-PRESERVERS
College life speeds so fast that one
must travel light to kep the pace,
One must chuck the unessential
overboard to make the keel ride high
upon the waves, or one must fall be
hind.
But sometimes in the excitement of
the chase one throws away the life
belts. Sometimes a college man or
woman, studying iinance or nome
economics, casta away his religion be
cause "there isn't time."
No matter what the name of Rocke
feller may mean to you; no matter
how many grains of salt you have
been prone to sprinkle over aything
that emanates from a rich man or
church, you must admit that there is
truth in the words that John D.
Rockefeller spoke to the men of his
Bible Class in the Park Avenue
Church, New York, last Sunday,
"Civilizations" the accumulation of
mind and matter, has temporarily
outstripped religion. Religion must
quicken its pace, otherwise man will
not wake in time to save himself from
the nightmare of war."
And war is simply one of the ex
pressions of a lack of religion, a lack
of emulation of Christ That is one
of the group expressions, as it were.
The individual expressions of a lack
of religion are even more devastating
within their lessened scope than
are the blood and ashes of war.
Suppose, for instance, an awful
grief should fall upon your life, you
who are coasting along with no
thought of religion. Suppose you are
cast into this sea of sorrow without
your life preserver, without your
faith; there is nothing to keep you
from drowning then in the dismal
waters of cynicism.
So while you are speeding over the
blue-green sea of college, speeding
fast with foam about your prow, keep
the life preserver and be careful what
it is you throw away to lighten ship.
Be sure you have the great thoughts
in your head, the great thoughts that
live forever in great poems; and be
sure you have the example of Christ
before you always.
Addendum: This is not mere ser
monizing; this is vital truth. Syra

Ten Years Ago
Eighteen "N's" were awarded the
members of the football team by the
Athletic Board. It was said that
more letters were awarded than had
been the custom for several years
because of the large number of
strong contenders for the various
positions. Immediately following
the awarding of the letters, the team
met and elected Dick Rutherford
captain of the 1915 team.
Word had leaked eut that at- the
conference meeting held in Lincoln
the week before, the question of
scheduling games for Thanksgiving
had been considered and it had been
decided to recommend to the various
athletic boards that such games
should be scheduled in the future.
Coach Steihm said that Nebraska
would probably schedule such a game
but that in his opinion, many of the
students would rather spend the day
at home and so would oppose the
game.
Members of the junior play com
mittee had been selected and work
had been started. Tickets were to be
sold for a dollar and a half during
the drive, later they were to sell for
two dollars. It was necessary for
the committee to raise $300 before
the University authorities would
grant the class permission to hold
the play at the Oliver (Liberty) The
ater.
At a meeting of the University
Senate, several building sites were
considered and the results together
with the plans for the new buildings
were sent to the office of the' archi
tect Several committees were ap
pointed to aid the Board of Regents
in deciding how to extend the cam
pus.
