THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1914
Civilization and beauty are alike in
at least one respect only skin deep.
We are glad at this time that the At
lantic ocean is between us.
Although no official announcement
has been made it can be stated on good
authority that hereafter the editor-in-
chief of the Daily Nebraskan -will be
chosen by its subscribers. Everyone
who lets go of a dollar will be entitled
to one vote. (Adding this concrete
reason to other existing good reasons,
makes the argument for taking the
University paper invincible and bomb
proof.
Some students report that while
peacefully -wending their way through
the Administration Building they were
loudly called upon to subscribe money
for a certain religious organization.
Why can't the T. M. C A. brethren
wait a few days and see the students
in their rooms? A good many con
sider it humiliating to have to turn
down an appeal for money from an
organization supported by charity. On
the street it is possible to walk around
a Salvation Army captain, but unfor
tunately this avenue of escape is im
possible in the halls of University
buildings.
WAR.
War is a survival of the beast. War
is a reversion to type. "War is the
teeth and claw of the jungle modern
ized; or present society with its veneer
of civilization rubbed off.
It was a great philosopher who said
that the real proof of our civilization
is not our advance in science but our
ability to sit down to eat together
without fighting over the food.
God pity Europe! Every boy and
man able to carry a rifle waits for the
order to go out and shoot and be shot
Killing each other is the supreme pas
sion. Oh, the aftermath!
The armies need more men says the
press. See the scene in the village as
the men part with loved ones. Some
are wiping away the hot tears of silent
mothers. Some are holding babies for
the last time. Some are parting with
wives, and trying to kiss away the
awful dread. And others are walking
in the quiet woods with the maidens
they love. They stop. The encircling
arm is tenderly withdrawn. They part
and forever.
Bankruptcy, blasted civilization,
agony, broken hearts, graves, oh,
these are the fruits of patriotic wars.
Xiet us solemnly swear an oath never
to permit politicians in the name of
"patriotism" to plunge this, our nation,
into the brutalizing agonies of war.
The University Y. M. C. A. is giv
ing out "N" pins to subscribers and
contributors.
To All New Students.
We extend a most cordial invi-
tation to Tisit our store. To all
returning students we extend the
glad ' hand. George Brothers,

To the Editor of the iNebraskan:
The. University Young Men's Chris
tlan Association Employment Bureau
is one of the most practical and useful
of the Association's activities, and it
is most emphatically the duty of the
students to protect it from abuse.
The object of the Employment Bu
reau Is to assist persons, who would
benefit by a University course but who
have no financial means of obtaining
one, in finding remunerative work to
be carried on during spare hours and
to defray the necessary expenses of
the needy students. Beyond this limit
the services of the Employment Bureau
do not aim to reach. The University
has never officially assumed the duty
of finding a job for any student and
every student who manifests a willing.
ness to accept one.
Yet the fact is that a good many
persons believe it to be as much with
in the power and duty of the Univer
sity to furnish an applicant with a
job as it is tg furnish bim with a bul-
letter Perhaps if the average self-supporting
student was a better student
than the average student supported
by his folks, the University might be
persuaded to assume this paternalistic
burden. But the combination of bread
winner and student has never been
more successful than any other com
bination whereby a man attempts to
serve two masters. Large quantities
of sugar are never to be had for a
cent, nor is it possible to eat one's
pie and have it Wnilet the above ob
servations are thus far only specula
tive, they afford a substantial basis
in principle at least for the position,
that he, who asks the University au
thorities to help "him find work when
he does not need the; work, is doing
himself, his needy-fellows students,
and the employment service a very
great wrong.
An examination of employment
statistics fortified by iexpressions of
opinion from employment officers sus
tain the conclusion just drawn. iNot all
the students who actually need work
are furnished with it when they apply
to the Employment Bureau for aid.
(Not all the students whom the em
ployment bureau has furnished with
work have actually needed It. In the
difference between these two state
ments is to be found most of the dis
couragement encountered by persons
who undertake to solve the problem of
employing University students bene-
cially- to themselves, to the University,
and to their employers.
A good many 'students, not yet
twenty-one years old, besides receiv
ing a substantial allowance from
home, secure a paying job from the
employment bureau thereby augment
ing the amount which is available to
them for the purpose of sewing wild
bats. The first effect of this abuse
of the employment service is to re
move one more job from i.he man who
really needs It. The second immediate
effect is to give the job to some more
enterprising plutocrat thus defeating
the democratic object for which the
bureau was established.
If your father is able and willing
to support you, don't ask the "Univer
sity Y. C. A. to do it. Self-support
is not good for you unless you show
the effects of not having enough to do
without it; and such effects will never
present themselves to the student who
undertakes to pass the regular curri
culum in any college of the University.
Self-support is not good for the Uni
versity when it takes the time of the
student away from his work and de
votes it to winning luxuries. Self-
support is not good for the employer
of University students when the mo
tive for it is merely to obtain the price
of an exceptionally stylish suit or an
iexceptionally good seat at the Oliver.
For the University authorities to find
work for the student who doesn't need
it, is merely to add another waste to
the large number eventually fooi'ae by
the fellow who is called the ultimate
consumer.
caught the first special train to Am
sterdam. There were live hundred
other marooned Americans on. the
same train, so doubtless the professor
felt entirely at home. Four days weTe
spent in Amsterdam and then they
journied on to Flushing, Holland,
where they caught a Holland boat to
Folkstone, From the latier place they
took passage to 'London, arriving there
on August 6. From this time until
September 4, they stayed In London,
where many evidences of the great
approaching struggle pere apparent.
Troops were seen daily drilling in St.
James and Regent Parks.
Passage had been booked on the
Philadelphia but they were transferred
to the St Louis, which left Liverpool
on September 4, where the professor's
party had previously gone.
An enjoyable trip of seven days
brought them to New York and then
via Pittsburg, home.
Prof. Buck of the rhetoric depart
ment was seen in London on the third.
Prof. Buck is keeping in practice for
his literary duties at Nebraska by
corresponding for a Chicago paper, his
duties being confined to war news.
He informed Prof. Candy that he
would be unable to depart until Sep
tember 26 on account of the great
number who had booked passage
ahead of him.
Prof. Frye and wife together with
Prof. Gass and Mrs. Jewett were in
Berlin when Prof. Candy left there and
were planning on leaving there Oc
tober 16, which was their first oppor
tunity. Prof. Candy tried to persuade
them to come-bome by way of London
but they decided to await their turn
and take a ship from Berlin. .Many
feared that the Channel had been
mined and no official information could
be gained "but Prof. Candy -and party
braved the danger and consequently
arrived home just in time for the
opening of registration.
Our rhetoric department will be the
busy place until the three wayward
professors return.
