THE SNAPPY LINE
At an eastern university a poll was
taken among the co-eds to find out
what they considered most desirable
in the men students. The most popu
lar characteristic, it was found, was
"a snappy line of chatter." The man,
then must be able to make a clever
crack and a snappy comeback to be
a success.
It is this tendency toward the very
snappy line and a dearth of intelli
gent conversation that has brought
upon the American college student
such names as the "well-dressed mob"
and the "football fanatics." The
snappy line is responsible for the tale
of the jazz-mad flaming youth that
swirls from dance to tea to football
game, with an occasional visit to the
classroom us a concession to the old
fashioned faculty. Such stories are,
of course, mainly fiction, but the
snappy line exists at this school as
much as any other. We suggest that
the reader sometimes stand in front
of Social Science Hall or some other
student-gathering place during a rush
. hour and listen to the conversation
about him. Often it is on about the
level one would expect from slum oc-
cuDants instead of university stu
dents. No wonder old alumni, who
tnnk their education seriously, are
dened at hearing it!
But in snite of this we still have
hope. We believe that the university
they ever were, regardless of their
students of today are as intelligent as
for meaningless chatter,
TTniomprh there is some 'real
thnncht about thinsrs that matter
What is the reason for this lack of
intelligent conversation? In our
opinion it is because both men and
wnmen think it is demanded ol tnem
To talk of anything but a slick party
or a hot date is to risk being thought
dull. They must keep up the snappy
line tn be interesting.
When we catch students off guard
occasionally we find that, after all
they can talk intelligently and that
they seem to enjoy it. So forget the
idea that a snappy line is necessary
for social success; try mixing genu
ine wit and humor with that little
cprmine thought It will at least be
an interesting experiment and the re
sult may be surprising.
ABOUT SPIRIT
Of late there has been a merry war
raging in the Student Opinion .column
about the lack of spirit at and before
football games. Numerous charges
have been made and denied. Person
allv we think that while spirit adds
to the zest of any game the lack of
it is by no means as reprehensible as
the writers of the letters seem to
think. Perhaps the spirit just isn't
there, and creation of enthusiasm is a
rather hopeless task. Here is an edi
torial entitled "Down East They
Sing" from the Big Ten Weekly, a
Socially Correct

periodical devoted chiofly to football,
which may be informative.
In one respect eastern football
has a touch of color that is un
known In the middle west Down
east between the halves, each
crowd sings one or two of its
songs and how they sing. At
Chicago iin 1922 a thousand of
Princeton alumni sang with five
times the volume that twenty
thousand Chicago students and
alumni did.
A week ago in Philadelphia at
the Chicago-Pennsylvania game
it was wonderful to hear 10,000
Penn students sing. Standing
and waving their hats in unison,
they provided a spectacle such as
the west never saw at a football
game,
The big difference is that in
the middle west the band plays
when the varsity songs are being
sung. The band is the big thing
and the singing only secondary.
Not one-tenth of the crowd sings
and the band drowns them out.
Down east when the crowd sings,
the band does not play. Every
man in the stands joins in the
song. Unless you have seen it,
you have no idea what a thrill it
puts into the spectacle.
Good cheering and singing at the
games add greatly to their interest.
A colorful atmosphere is supplied
that makes inter-collegiate football
popular and that diferentiates it from
the professional game. Our sugges
tion to make the students here sing
is that the Cornhusker might be sung
between halves, and not at the end of
the game when everyone is reaching
for coats and preparing to leave the
Stadium.

FRESHMAN SPIRIT
To the Editor:
In answer to a certain editorial
that made its appearance in a recent
issue of The Daily Nebraskan per
taining to the lack of spirit at foot
ball games this season, many fresh
men say "blah." It is a fact that
the first vear people are anxious, in
their oft crude fashion, to become
Nebraska men and women as quick
ly as possible. One of their chief
ways of gaining the recognition that
they so heartily crave is to break all
existing records for the amount of
noise ever handed a cheer leader in
response to his heart-wringing pleas
That most
embarrassing'
moment
"lO
fine Evolution," said he, "as
the" And just then Henry
Neanderthal broke the lead in
his old-fashioned whittle-and-'
smudge. Poor Heinie! He'd
be a campus ornament still if
he'd only, had an Eversharp.
Verbum sap!

for thunder, more ' thunder, and an
earthquake from the stands. Re
gardless of impending loss or voice
the frosh are willing to heave-to
with a wallop when the old Scarlet
and Cream is crouching for a drive
to a touchdown or when fighting is
needed to keep some other outfit
from driving through the Scarlet to
the zero yard line.
And then some yell leader, who
has exhausted " his stock in wise
cracks, throws down his "loud speak
er" and "bawls out" the entire fresh
man class because some unfortunate
member of it has momentarily
stripped a gear in his yelling appar
atus! That yell leader was clever,
rM Vila "crack" will sure wake up the
boys and girls who are here at Neb
raska for the first time. It will wane
them up to the fact that their best
efforts are considered puny in the
ears of all-American yell lcdors. If
the freshman class comes ' . with
its same old spirit at the N' "ue
game, it will deserve plenty ot credit
after what happened at the Oklahoma
game.
As to swearing while backing up
the team, what is the use? Why not
yell as clean as we talk?

EDIFYING AND BEATIFIC
After perusing the edifying and
beatific comments by Mr. James O'
Donnell Bennett, of the Chicago Tri
bune on compulsory military train
ing, and having taken to heart ma
considered all these junker and jingo
manifestations of editorial policies,
the Illini is going to have the bad
taste to disagree on two scores with
the World's Greatest Newspaper.
The first is concerning the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
"At the University of Wisconsin,"
wrote Mr. Bennett, "although it is
a land grant college and as such
compelled to give military training
if it keeps faith with the federal
government under the terms of the
amended Morrill act, military train
ing has been placed on an elective
basis. The evasion there is slick, the
contention being that the Morrill act
compelled a land grant university to
offer military training, but it did not
compel students to take it.
"Such is the bare background of
the general situation.
"The particular and limited acre
age of its foreground as disclosed
at the University of Illinois is at pres
ent sparsely peopled with malcon
tents who have not as yet quite
found themselves but who hope to
make abundant trouble in time.
"For the roost part they are a rag
out of intellectual odds and ends
whose general perversity is patheti
cally fringed with honest young re
ligionists more than one of whom has
bravely alibied hismeslf with the uni
versity authorities by saying "Why I
wouldn't go to war even if the in-
i
ILURIAN" CROW, the geol
ogy prof, had reached the
crux of his course. "I de

vader raped my sister.
"The evasion is slick," announces
Mr. Bennett. There is no evasion
whatsoever there, and Mr. Bennett
Is wrong. The Merrill act doea not
require that R. O. T. C. be compul
sory. The University of Illinois re
cognizes that fact and says so. Mili
tary is compulsory here because the
University wants it to be compulsory,
and riot because any law anywhere
says it shall be so.
Second, Mr. Bennett adopts a re
markably bigoted point of view when
he implies that anyone who opposes
R. O. T. C. is a moron. It is alto
gether possible for an intelligent
nerson honestly to believe that K. O.
T. C. is a mistake, and it is alto-
gether possible that such an intelli
gent person be neither a moron nor
a pervert.
And so The Illini prays that the
hubbub may be over concerning the
R. O. T. C. hones so and makes this
one Parthian remark Wisconsin is
not evading either the letter or spirit
of the law, and there are, strange as
it may seem to Mr. Bennett and the
World's Greatest Newspaper, honest,
moral men, who sincerely doubt the
value of military training. The
