All of Nebraska's principal cities are instructed and enter tained by talent sent out by the University of Nebraska during a scheduled week. Are you backing up the royal rooters' club? If you are, over half the victory is won. The announcement that Sol Metzger will coach Carolina next year is one that will de light the hearts of every Game cock supporter, and they are all looking forward to the opening of the next season. But there is one thing that must be re membered on this campus, and that is that Metzzer with all his splendid command of football strategy and knowledge of the technique of the royal sport, will not assure the suc cess of the next season ALONE. It is up to the University now to put a team out on the field that will have the pep and the spirit to put things over as their lead ed would have them do. And it is up to the student body of Carolina to get the men on the campus who can play football, and haven't, the men who are large enough and strong enough to go out, and haven't, and all the other available ma terial that is on the campus or should be on the campus, out on the field and .out there with the proper spirit, when the whistle blows this next fall. Metzger should have, and must have the support of every man on the campus to put out the kind of football team that we are looking for. From the spirit that has been shown on the campus lately in the organiza tion of the Loyal Boosters Club, and the new students' commit tee, it is apparent that the pro per spirit will be here next year and that we will have the ma terial to make Carolina famous. OUR CAMPUS. A few words are necessary to bring to our attention the present condition of our cam pus. We realize, of course, that our limited space has made it impossible for us to have an extended campus, but we fear the space we have has not been kept in the manner we would like to see it. With the signing of the armistice we expected to see every trace of the S. A. T. C. removed, but a glance at our campus in the rear of Pinckney and Legare convinces us that the remains of that outfit is still in evidence. Scattered frames of auto3 and many -other kinds of debris tell us that a training school once existed there. Sometimes we wonder why a part of our Ar bor Day force was not detailed to this spot, so much in need of renovation. As we pass on, it is to be ob served. that our inner campus, our prettiest part, shows many signs of neglect. Paper3 and various other forms of trash are to be seen on every hand. We remember once when thie was not the case, betr now we see the bag and pointed stick carried indifferently over the campus by a small boy, rath..r than by a full grown dark3, who realizes the necessity of a campus free from paper. We are indeed glad to see the open ing of spring. which has al ways given life and beauty to the inner campus, but this year it will be observed that the grass is having a hard fight to gain headway, being handi capped by thoughtless stu dents who insist on taking short cuts rather than follow the paths; and by the daily drill and maneuvers of a battalion of "soldiers." We no longer hear of Freshmen and Sopho mores being reproved for al lowing their pieces to strike the "hard ground," nor do we hear the familiar tramp past Wood row of those bound for the ath letic field to drill. We remem ber when that field was once used extensively for military purposes, especially for R. 0. T. C. drill, but it seems to have lost its advantage on account of the absence of a coat of grass. It is hoped that our campus will receive better attention in the future than it has in the past. Do your bit to make our small campus one that we can be proud of. Walk within the paths laid out and do not, nor allow others to, throw papers and trash around carelessly. Much can be accomplished to ward the desired end if all will do his or her part.
