Marshall Pltaar . Bullous Manager Asst. Business Manager Circulation Manager . Circulation Manager OUR UNDEFEATED FOE Can the Cornhuskers beat Chick Meehan's great N. Y. U. football team or will the Violet eleven go through the season without defeat? This is one of the questions to be settled in tomorrow's battle at Memor ial Stadium when a strong Western team meets an undefeated Eastern aggregation. The other question, of course, is of intersectional nature. Which has the strongest football teams, East or West? Meehan's warriors have met some of the best football teams in the country this season and only one foe lies between them and an all-successful campaign Nebraska! According to an editorial in the next col umn, from Tuesday's Omaha World-Herald, New York alumni are planning a big banquet at the Hotel McAl pine when their "undefeated football team" returns from the West. But Meehan, remembering last year's score with the Cornhuskers, recognizes them as a most formidable foe. The Cornhusker student spirit may be the decid ing factor in the Turkey Day battle. Kansas beat Mis eouri in one1 of the greatest dope upsets of the season, mainly because K. U. students were behind their team. Nebraska has a great football team but many reports favor the opponent in tomorrow's game. If the Corn husker spirit soars to unprecedented heights and every true Nebraskan gets whole-heartedly behind his team, the Violet record will be spoiled, the supremacy of the West in football will be upheld, but most of all, Ne braska will glory in its victory. Let every Nebraska raise the cry: "We are behind you, Cornhuskers." some time tomorrow showing their ppreciatlon what is and what might not have been. FORTUNATE NEBRASKA for All the opportunities of a convention 1 Prospective artists at the University of Nebraska are fortunate, in deed, for as opportunely as though ordered for them alone a group of emminent artists and art critics are gathered in Lincoln, at the School of Fine Arts. The finest of the profession are here for observa tion. For the first time the American Federation of Arts is holding its convention in the West. "The eastern conventions have been notable gatherings. There it has been possible for artists, art patrons, and, teachers of art to meet both formally and informally, and to stim ulate each other to higher activity," (quoted from lit erature of the federation). It is a step forward for the Western territory and for future Western artists that this influence may be made active here; that Lincoln and the School of Fine Arts may be made the center of a discussion of art and the future of art; that Western artists may have an opportunity to show the quality of their output in an exhibition before the convention. Fortunate students! AH those majoring in painting and drawing are excused from all classes to attend the sessions of the convention which include lectures and luncheons, exhibits and moving pictures, an explana tion of the mural paintings of the) capital, and an op portunity to see a number of private homes and col lections. Most important of all is the chance to meet and talk to men and women whose chief interest is to carry on the eternal propaganda of beauty. Notices MARK TIME! Tomorrow i3 Thanksgiving the day of days when students should stop their pursuit of studies, football and social activities to meditate and give thanks to Him. Thanks for their opportunity to attend Univer sity. Thanks for their advantages in life which count less other young people go without and long for. Probably this conception of Thanksgiving Day has entirely slipped the average Nebraska student's mind. Between the Kosmet show in the morning, the football game in the afternoon, and numerous social events in the evening, the true and worthwhile purpose of the World's day of thanks has been crowded into an ob scure corner of the stage, where it will lie dormantly for another year, to be dusted off again by some other college editor before the next Thanksgiving celebra tion. Students in this day of jazz and high-living are not expected to stay home with their hands folded as did their Puritan ancestors. Their parents allow them a free hand to direct their actions while in college. Consequently they get in the swim and Thanksgiving day is very apt to be lost in the rapids. Lost as far as its old significance applies. But in this modern age there should, be some modern appli cation. And there is. Thanksgiving Day may be at least remembered, even if on the run, so to speak. Stop to consider what the day really implies let the painted co-eds and the football-crazy men halt the day's activities, forget their outside interests, and spend In Other Columns Intelligent Cynic One of the many things we have never been able to understand upon going through college is just why a person must be ultra-cynical in order to pass as in telligent. As soon as a great many students have read a bit of "heavy stuff" or have taken a course or two in philosophy and have considered the intricate problems of life mere frivolities they must now sneer at every thing and everybody who is not more cynical. To show one's knowledge of a subject he must according to student standards, scoff at others' opin ions on it. To them the entire world is beastly ignor ant excepting them as they are basking in the sunlight of supreme knowledge. From high positions these intelligent misinformeds do not criticize; they merely sneer. They have no sug gestions nor even good destructive criticism but only a haughty scoff. There is nothing more disagreeable than a person who is in accord with all popular notions unless it is the other extreme, the chronic cynic who for no con ceivable reason must hold his nose in the air and sneer at all things and all persons. Ohio State Lantern. "By the Sweat of Their Brow" Nebraskans will note with interest that the alumni of New York university have prepared a victory ban quet in honor of that institution's "undefeated football team." That is what we call true hospitality as well as a highly laudable manifestation of appreciation on the part of the alumni. Any team that has gone through an entire seasop with its escutcheon unblemished by de feat is entitled to a victory banquet, and that is pre cisely what New Yprk university's valiant squad has done almost It is true that one final scalp is yet to be added to the impressive string already dangling from the Violet belt the scalp of our Nebraskans. That bit of cranial covering hanging from its proper chronological position there among the other and dinner is served! And all we can say is that any football team that has proven sufficiently adept at the great collegiate pas time to accomplish that feat has a square meal coming. Since the beginning it has been decreed that man shall eat his bread in the sweat of his brow and if, as the twilight settles about Memorial stadium next Thurs day evening, Chick Meehan and his warriors shall de part therefrom with the Cornhusker scalp in their pos session, who shall say that they have not complied with the authoritative injunction? And what appetities the boys should have on that night of December 7 at the Hotel McAlpin ! If they are hungry now, what should their gastronomic require ments be then? They should be in what one might call ideal condition for a real feed and if they have licked Nebraska we know they will be! Omaha World-Herald.

It will consist of dancing by the pony chorus and a "blues" by Har riet Cruise Kemmer. The first, act, presented by the A. T. O.'s will be mainly musical with comedy parts. The second, a clogging act by the Gregory-Gesman team, assisted in all probability by a certain ' Mademois elle a , will feature fast tapping and novel steps. The one-act comedy to be presented by the Dramatic Club is reported to be clever and amusing. It is unnecessary to explain the next act, a musical arrangement by Cruise, Turner and Chenoweth. The Kappa sorority act centers around an artist and his models, and includes a great deal of popular music from recent New York musical hits. The Kosmet Klub feature act, in which the pony chorus and lead "blues" singers take part, will be the climax of the show. It will in clude singing and dancing, and a short resume of other Kosmet shows. A rally-breakfast will be held at the Idyl Hour before the show,, fea turing a "Beat-New York" spirit, to be carried on through the whole shew, an hour later.
