vlded the thing Is not over-worked j
and there i a tremendous thrill In
watching: your football team win,
even though in calmer moments one
feels sure that it's not tho winning,
but tho game itself that counts.
There is merit in a certain amount
of conformity, but one must un
derstand the reason for that confornf
ity. There are traditions that are
worth-while, and there are pseudo
traditions that aro tho valueless pro
ducts of some rah-rah brain. All
"traditions" should bo examined to
determine if there is something be
hind them. If there is, then follow
them J but if there is only some
shallow or frivolous reason, one need
feel no hesitance in disregarding
them.
Be reasonable in your following or
disregarding of custom; do not con
form blindly, nor condemn without
some thought. Think for yourself
and make each tradition prove itself
before you accept it. In the words
of a Hindu philosopher, "Follow the
middle road."

SHALLOW "TRADITIONS"
In every university or college there
are those whoso love for the old alma
raater is bo overpowering that they
are deeply grieved at any depnrture
from what they term tradition.
The traditions may have been es
tablished fifty years or a few weeks,
they may have the same grounding in
logic or not, but they arc traditions
just the same, and must be observed.
The same people construe every
activity of the student as "loyalty
to tho school." To buy a Ccra
husker, to attend a rally, or to work
on a student publication means that
the student is "loyal." That he may
buy a Cornhusker because he wants
it for reference in the future, attend
the rally to be in the crowd and hean
the band play, or work on a publica
tion because it interests him for mer
cenary reasons, never occur to them.
At one university a "moot court"
sits to decide whether the freshmen
have lived up to exactly all the rules,
and some of the penalties included
ducking in an icy pond, public pad
dling, or other measures calculated
to advance the freshman's education
In opposition to this group are the
campus intellectuals. Excellent
people, probably, but driven to ex
tremes by the super-rah-rah boys.
The intellectual scorns school spirit,
they appear amused at the mention of
noisier manifestations of college life,
and occasionally assume a rather un
duly sophisticated air.
A write in the Columbia Specta
tor of Columbia University, express
es their attitude quite well: '
1 try to be just what I am;
Conventions are absurd and wrong
I quite detest all show and sham,
I try to be just what I am.
Fod critics I don't give a damn
And soon put them where they be
long I try to be just what I am;
Conventions are absurd and wrong.
Now it is doubtful if the intellec
tuals are actually "Just what they
are," for their opposition to rah
rah activities is probably over-stressed.
They condemn them automa
tically. At times it must be diffi
cult to preserve that bored exterior.
It cracks frightfully at times at the
football games, or even at rallies.
Probably the best attitude for tht
student is what, for lack of some
thing more striking, we shall term
the happy medium. That is a trite
phrase, but the reader will probably
catch the meaning.
There is enjoyment in rallies, pro-
Ten Years Ago
Freshmen Co-eds who missed their
physical exam npointments were
fined $1.00. They also had to rc
nort for new appointments in the
gym. So even tho freshmen 10 years
ago had their trials and tribulations.
The Huskcrs and Mr. Stiehm en
gaged in an enthusiastic signal prac
tice in preparation for the Notre
Dame game. The squad was made
ready by Stiehm feeding them elec
tricity and gun powder for the nec
essary pep.
Prepartions have been made for
the second all-University mixer, held
under the auspices of tho Military
Department.
Dean Stout gave an address to the
students in Mechanical Engineering
Hull concerning tho Engineering Pro
fession. He said that Engineers
were "not known as they think they
ought to be." .
ONE HUNDRED PER CENT.
The World War started many
things besides a fight. One of these
things was the 'one hundred per
cent" idea. This city and that city.
went "over the top" one hundred
per cent for War Savings Stamps,
Liberty Bonds, Red Cross drives and
various other things. Undoubtedly
those drives had much merit and
communities were justly proud of
having subscribed their quota.
This idea worked so well during
the war that campaign and subscrip
tion managers have kept it up. We
see it on our campus many times dur
ing the year. We are asked to sub
scribe one hundred per-cent to this
publication and that publication; all
sorts of tickets are sold and we are
told that to be loyal Cornhuskers we
should all buy and get every other
member of our organizations to do
the same. This has become so over
worked that it is getting humorous.
In previous years The Daily Ne
braskan has fallen in line with such
ideas by publishing lists of organiza
tions which go one hundred percent.
Such lists have implied that organi
zations not listed are not behind the
University. That is blackmail in a
mild degree. It is resented by many
and benefits no one.
Loyalty to Nebraska should be up
to the individual so should the mat
ter of subscribing to the various
campus drives. nether or not
every member of an organization
subscribes should make no difference.
The appeal should be made direct
ly to the individual student. He
should be made to feel that he
should buy the thing because it will
help him and help the University,
and not because ft will help some or
ganization be a one hundred percent
organization.
The Daily Nebraskan does every
thing in its power to assist in the
drives and campaigns on the campus.
It will continue to do so, but it will
decline in the future to publish lists
of organizations which subscribe
one hundred percent to anything.
