Metzger is coming. Tell
everybody you see.
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.
