Just What is School Spirit? F "School spirit" is grainiiuirirally a trite expression as is the plira.se, "the student body." However trite the two may he, they embody, when joined together, just what the University o Nebraska seems to lack a stu dent body with school spirit. To the average student, "school spirit" means a rally before a football game, an op portunity to vociferously pronounce his loyalty to, and affection for the university, and an escape from the daily routine of classes. But is this school spirit? And if such antics are not school spirit, just what is it? Sunday afternoon the Honorable 1J. G. Sim mons of the Nebraska Supreme court, deliv ered the annual ('barter Day address in the Student Union ballroom. Last year the ad dress was made in the coliseum, but because of the small attendance it was decided this year to hold the Charter Day festivities in the Union ballroom. Approximately .'500 per sons heard Judjre Simmons, which is about 5-18 of the regularly enrolled students and not even equal a figure to the number of faculty members employed by the university. Certainly school spirit is exemplified by attendance and enjoyment of the well planned program honoring the genesis of the Univer sity of Nebraska. Regular attendance of classes and faithful devotion to study is also a part of school spirit. And further, the de sire for knowledge for the promotion of one self, his state, and his nation is also a part of school spirit. This school feeling cannot be generated by publicity, band music, or by the "rah rahs' of eavorling cheerleaders. It is a combination of stud' and play, respect and reverence, honor and devotion to an institution founded for the realization of one hope your better ment. Thus, school spirit resolves itself into a cooperative effort between the university and the student the university is dedicated to the intellectual advancement of the student and the student is dedicated to the intellectual ad vancement of himself. The student's expres sion of appreciation for the time and effort spent in his behalf is school spirit. By Marsa Lee Civin. Faculty members met Oct. 8, 1917 to form an University of Nebraska to help in every way pos sible with the successful carrying on of the war. Chancellor Samuel Avery was named honorary president with Prof. J. E. Le Rossignol serving as acting president. "Buying liberty bonds is one thing," the chan cellor said, "in which the league can help. In food conservation we can also be of service by conserv ing especially those articles of exports needed by the allied and the United States soldiers wheat, meat, sugar." Prof. Blanche Grant suggested that Nebraska send a hospital unit to aid the stricken civilians in the war zone of France. Large numbers were with out professional medical assistance. As a result of a conference of state officials and educators at the Lincoln hotel Oct. 10 a move was under way to close the schools of the state includ ing the university for a period of three weeks be ginning Oct. 27 to allow students to aid in the hat vesting of Nebraska's mammoth corn crop. All instructors distributed questionnaires among men students asking them to give information whether the plan met with the approbation of the students as a whole. Three-fourths of the men preferred that school continue as usual and that they be given help for any work they would miss by leaving school. No Soap By Marsa Lee Civin. This is a very clean love story. Once upon a time (that's the way all conventional stories begin I there lived in the kingdom of Soapsavania Lifebuoy and Camay, two cakes of soap. Beth of them loved Olive. Of the two, Camay stood higher in her affections be cause he was more ambitious. h,lsuu x was coiiieni 10 lei things DREFT along. One day LIFEBUOY approached CAMAY paying, "We both LAV-A girl named OLIVE. Let's see who can Vin her. Ill try first." So her little lriend went to her home and said, "HI babe! May I hold your FALM, OLIVE?" "Not on your LIFE, BUOY!" Squelched and hurt to the core, LIFEBUOY returned to CAMAY and told him to try his luck. When CAMAY confronted OLIVE, he found that she had somewhat of a cold. "What's the matter, OLIVE?" Simmons . . . (Continued from Page 1.) that the university was chartered two years after Nebraska became a state, the speaker declared. "We have behind us the herit age of a great people of unflinch ing courage, high character, and determined purpose. The univer sity haa contributed much to this birthright. The irreslstable spirit of a great people lives in us. That power, guided by their eternal faith, must again direct the ener gies and abilities and resources that are ours in the great tasks that He ahead," he said in closing. Chancellor Boucher presided at the convocation and the Rev. L. W. McMillin pronounced the invo cation. The university symphony orcnestra under the direction of Emanuel Wishnow slaved several numbers, with the audience join ing m me singing of "America the Beautiful,'' , "I got a code in by hed." "OLIVE, my love," said he, "If thee will wed thyself to I, me will build those a marvelous CASTLE" (hey youse guys can the chater). Oh, CA-BAY You TRIL-BY to death!" RINSO they were married. When LIFEBUOY heard about it, he was bitter. "Well, I SWAN." " he said. "I could kill myself! But, if I did, they WOOD-BURY me. That's just my LUX!" And that my kiddies is the tale of several sincere soapsters who raised eight little bars.
