WHEN THK UNIVERSITY
WENT TO W AH.
The campus sce.ie in January of
1917 was not unlike the current
passing show. Copies of the Ne
braskans of the day feature pleas
for the early taking of Cornhus
ker photos, blurb the University
Players, bemoan approaching ex
ams. The fall before there had
been a rampant hysteria for foot
ball, the dedication of the dairy
husbandry building, forums on
prohibition, tales on a sudden bliz
zard, even the fiist meeting of the
Union committee. It sems to have
been a time of preoccupation with
collegiate interests, much the same
as the 1037 era.
A war was going on, over in
France, and som Americans were
actively involved. Rut that sort
of newspaper stuff didn't ruffle the
routine activity and thought of the i
University of Nebraska. Oh, a
British woman did bring to a con- i
vocation the intimate side of the
life of the soldiers of France, Eng
land and Serbia" serving over
there -she was traveling across
America in the interests of war
relief and, incidentally, praised
the Americans for their ambulance
work near the battlefields.
Battle Over Drill.
The boys in school were heat
edly debating the question of
compulsory driil at the time, and
the anti-drill ranks easily mowed
the pro-drill men down in open
discussion on at lc?st one ccca
sion. A formal voicing of the
protests of this group was de
nied by the drill advocates who
derided their opponents as "rank
pacifists" and complained that
their movement verged "on un
patnotism in these trying times."
To show their loyalty, the pro
firillers petitioned for continuance
of compulsory drill. Then the mili- I from a clcat injllry received
iai irwcaieu iimmhv irom nit
field of discussion of the burning
ciuestion. flinging over their shoul
ders that "this is the time not for
debating issues but for preparing
for spy emergency." But the anti
drill agitation did not die. And in
February, when a bill to abandon
compulsory drill was pending in
the state house of representatives,
the iitnr cf the student paper
urged tbe "pacifists" to drop their v:erf. L-iwell English, Man-in

Cornhusker football team. 34
strong, entrained last night for
Pittsburgh where it will meet Dr.
Jock Sutherland's highly vaunted
Pitt ranthers Saturday before a
crowd of approximately 70.000.
Adopting "Pity Pitt" as is war
cry, a zealous student body gath
ered at the Burlington station to
give its team a rousing sendoff.
Coaches Biff Jones, Link Lyman
and Harold Browne: Clarence
Pwanson, captain of the '21 squad
that beat Pitt, 10-0. and Captain
Fred Shirey gave short talks,
promising that the team would do
its best to scalp Pittsburgh, which
reversed Nebraska last year, 19-6.

For the first time since the
memorable Minnesota game, early
in October, the Scarlet and Cream

drawn into the war, she would
go into it "dispassionately, as

University classes will not be

Armistice day, according to
Dean T. J. Thompson.
Only the senior varsity band,
members of Pershing Rifles,
and those Tassels who will
carry the service flag will
participate in the Armistice day
parade sponsored by the city.
No all-university observance
is scheduled for Armistice day
as members of the military de

both university bands and the

which the university service
