Old King
Cornhusker.
Once more Dana X. Bible has brought the
Big Six pennant back to Nebraska. Once more
Nebraska sits upon the throne of victory. The
Cornnusker is king.
Last Saturday a fighting Cornhusker eleven
tattled its way to the title in as thrilling a
gams as has ever been seen on Memorial sta
dium boL That game climaxed a season as
hard fought as any since the conference was
organued. Nebraska fought through a tough
schedule and demonstrated clearly that it was
the class of the league.
Dana X. Bible and a fighting Cornhusker
crew deserve every bit of praise which is di
rected their way. No one man can be named
as Nebraska's best. No one man can merit the
questionable honor of being called the star. It
waB & well coached, never-say-die outfit that
brought the victory flag back to Huskerland.
On Turkey day that same eleven will go to
do battle with an outstanding Pitt eleven. No
tre Dame's fighting Irish have been the only
ones able to beat them. The smoky city team
is aching for revenge for the scoreless tie of
last year. It will be a game which will attract
the eyes of the nation. By this time the Hus
kers are sure that the entire student body is
behind them. Nebraska may win and they
may lose but one thing is sure it will be the
same fighting, battling eleven that brought to
us another championship, and the same one
which has always made Pitt fight to keep its
laurels.
Nebraska is fortunate in other respects in its
football teams. All about us fly rumors of
proselyting and subsidizing athletes. Nebraska
plays clean hard football and the men ou her
teams are on the teams because they are the
best of the lot and because they love the game.
All praise to Dana X. Bible and as fighting
a crew as ever donned the Scarlet and Cream.
May the Cornhusker take Pitt and add another
laurel. The Cornhusker is king.
Old timers come back to the campus and tell
us of the days when school spirit wap so thick
around the school that you could gather it up
in bushel baskets. Wonder why they didn't
store up & little so we could let it loose now.
'A Slump
In Activities
If what The Nebraskan said Sunday about
interest in activities fading away is true, and
most of the students interviewed seemed to
think it was, then it would be natural to as
sume that any day some ambitious fellow will
com along with a scheme for reviving such
interest.
Every year these interest arousing cam
paigns are undertaken but the very lack of
interest for which they are started soon gobbles
them Bp. Last year's Innocents society, real
izing that something ought to be done, ap
pealed to the junior class. But the interest
that was at first shown, soon died, and even
those juniors who were aspiring to be the cam
pus big shots in their senior year and who
showed their enthusiasm only because they
wanted to get into the good graces of the Inno
cents, decided that it was too much work for
nothing.
There were countless other movements last
year to revive the student spirit, ranging from
astudent union bu;lding to Sunday evening
community singing on the campus. Most of
the schemes were borrowed from other schools.
In view of the dismal failure of all attempts
in the past to stop this decline of interest, let
us first find out where the trouble lies. Then,
if we think it necessary or desirable to revive
the interest or school spirit, let us build up a
stable system. For some jack-in-the-box 1o
spring up every now and then with a half
baked idea and a less thoroly devised method
of administration for his crude scheme, will
not produce satisfactory results. As a matter
of fact most of those who have plans for arous
ing the school spirit or interest have as their
chief motive the acquiring of a little notoriety
for themselves.
Let us investigate. Are campus traditions
and activities the only institutions w hich suf
fer from lack of interest! The church finds
that interest in Kerens is being eclipsed by
the popular desire for othpr things. Every
where we hear cries that the great statesmen
of two generations ago are not to be found to
day. What can be the reason for this! Do
radios, moving pictures, automobiles, aero
planes, and eight hour days have anything to
do with it! Perhaps there is a connection be
tween the lack of interest in campus activities
and the lack of interest in institutions apart
from the campus.
With this in mind, we may be able to devise
a scheme for reviving interest in xtra-curricu-lar
activities that Mill go down a littl deeper
into the real trouble. Jt may be that the whole
political system needs revising, or it may be
that the student should be offered a little more
incentive to work. Maybe the educational sys
tern has become so specialized that the student
will take part in nothing but what will help
him to further his knowledge or experience
along his chosen profession. Maybe the stu
dent is just plain lazy, or maybe he has too
much else to do. VY hatever the situation is.
the fact remains that a remedy must penetrate
a little farther into the trouble than the so
called new traditions, or the fraternity house
paddle can.
Why don't the campus anarchists form an
organization for the purpose of abolishing or
ganizations!
The best way to stop cheating at cxamina
tions is to have no examinations.
The latest fashion for girls this winter is red
flannels, says Dame I ashion.
A statement from the University of Wash
ington says that 90 percent of the 4,220 men
students there go hatlcss.
We wonder if the boys who consent to wear
militarv uniforms to the Military ball are go
insr to include wearing those graceful drill
shoes.
What Students
Are Thinking About,
A number of communications have reached
this office and altho some of them have been
printed in their entirety, they begin to slack
up. The following is a brief statement of the
contents of some of these letters.
One person complains that the student direc
torv comes out about a month later than is
necessarv. The student directory to be of the
most use should be out as soon as possible after
registration is completed. . . Getting the
student directory out should be a function of
the school of journalism.
Rallies are going down hill. . . There used
to be a lot of spirit. . . Corn Cobs, Tassels,
and Innocents must combine efforts.
Awgwan editor needs more contributions.
Many capable humorists on campus, but few
take" interest. If tr 9 publication is going to
carry campus humor, somebody has got to
bring that humor to the Awgwan office. The
editor cannot do it all himself.
A browsing room for the library where stu
dents can get a pleasure out of reading fine
books, and browsing in an atmosphere of cul
ture and beauty.
A student deplores the fact that aeroplanes
are causing a lot of accidents and taking a
tremendous toll of human life. Says that the
younger generation night consider aviation as
a nuisance.
More support for barb parties. These are
all-university affairs and should have support
of entire student body. This would tend to
unify the whole school, especially barbs and
Greeks.
Why was there such a multitude of people
out on a rainy day to see a parade which they
had seen many times before! (Meaning Armis
tice day.) Does it represent loyally of the peo
ple to their country or merely curiosity! . .
Little courtesy was shown the American flag
as it passed by. . . Few bared their heads
as the service flag went by.
a
Grades are tearing at the very roots of what
education should be attempting to do. To get
high grades the student must conform strictly
to the text and not argue his own opinions. .
Shouldn't have grades, just pass or fail.
New A. W. S. date slips are great help to
residents of sorority houses and chaperones.
Can find any girl at any time by this method.
Public opinion has students pictured as
pleasure seekers, but this is not a true picture.
Students are for the most part serious minded.
There are, of course, students who come for
social life, others for activities, and those who
come for just learning, but who are never par
ticularly illustrious during school life.
SOCIETY
MORNING MAIL
Formal Comment.
TO THE EDITOR :
In conjunction with the request that( basic
students attend the Military ball in uniform,
a letter was sent to the various sororities ex
plaining the situation. The resulting survey
showed that the greater majority were decid
edly in favor of the plan, while the remaining
one or two were non-committal.
The honorary basic military organization
also held a meeting at which the proposal was
voted upon. The results showed that the ma
jority were heartily in favor of the idea while
the others were undecided.
This was disappointing as it was expected
that the entire body would enter into the af
fair in true military spirit and unanimously
agree to attend in uniform.
There can be no doubt in the minds of basic
students as to the aspect of formality which
uniforms would lend. Any military uniform is
strictly formal and it is eeriainly no disgrace
or any indication of one's financial status to
appear in such attire. It shows only that he
is proud to wear the uniform of his country,
and is not going to attempt to "cake" by
wearing the "soup and fish" which he would
probablv have to borrow or rent.

16th st. and eventually a duplicate
structure ot three units may be
erected behind the first building,
facing 17th street.
The money borrowed to com
plete the first unit, will, according
to the financial plans, be repaid
from the operation of the dormi
tory. Futhermore, the dormitory
is expected to be enough of a
paying proposition, according to
Mr. Seaton, that it will help pay
for, or at least Justify the erec
tion of additional units in a re
latively short time. The legislature
may be caued upon for further ap
propriations also to aid the uni
versity to complete Its dormitory
scheme within a reasonable period
of time.
The central unit when it Is com
pleted will house about 150 or 170
girls, most oi tnem iresnmen, ai
tho a number of upperclassmen
are expected to live in the dormi
tory. The ultimate objective of the
university, is to have dormitories
providing room for every freshman
girl in school, as well as all up
perclassmen who desire to live
there.
So far as any definite plans In
connection with deferred pledging
of freshman girls are concerned,
the completion of the first unit of
the dormitory will not affect the
situation in the slightest, accord
ing to Amanda Heppner, dean of
women. While such a provision
whereby freshman girls may not
be allowed to Join sororities may
come some time. Miss Heppner in
timated, the erection of one unit
of the dormitory will not take
care of enough girls to justify the
abolition of freshman pledging, at
least on the housing basis.
