MARCH 18, 1915 THE CORNHUSKER Every student should take pride in the Cornhusker. It is the one relic of his college days that he can keep for years and which increases in value as time goes by. Every reference to it recalls many happy events and famil iar faces. This year's book promises to be better than ever before. It will be a credit to our University, and will rank well with the annuals of the larger institutions in the middle west. The only way to work toward a better permanent standard for the Corn husker is for the students to support it as an institution. The management have decided to hold the sale open un til March 25, and thus give everyone who really wants a book the oppor-( tunity to get it- Do not delay. You want a Cornhusker. Buy it now. THE FORUM "uncenBored" as anything coming from the undergraduates. Surely, considering all the oversight provided for dances, athletics, dra matlca, and so on, at the University you ought to have a dean who will look after the general literacy of the printed matter which represents' the University. Perhaps Representative Taylor of Custer, who is interested in efficiency at the University, can se cure the creation of such an office. Yours, ALUMNUS. Lincoln, March 14. Remember March 19th. "ANTI-FUSSING" CLUB FINES LOVE THOUGHTS OF SPRING Literacy and the University Dear Nebraskan: Before me lies a handbill advertis ing the coming Junior play, "The Road to Yesterday." It contains a quantity of mis-spellings; in the "Cast of Characters," first names, nicknames, and mere "Mr.'s" and "Misses" are distributed without plan, and in the (badly written) synopsis are some curious usages of words as in "she throws herself confidentially into his arms." Let us call this hand bill "Exhibit A." "Exaibit B" is the text of a song fromaKosmet Klub production, as on exhibition in the window of an O street music store. It closes with the solecism in grammar (for the sake of a rhyme), "Just like you and I." On inquiry I find that the song was writ ten by a Senior. What is the trouble at the Univer sity? : Ordinary careful preparation of the "copy" or ordinary pains with the proof-reading would have helped the handbill, which was distributed widely about the city, and ordinary interest in grammar would have im proved the Senior's "lyric," especially since it was to be set to music. This slovenliness would hardly be tolerated in most of the good high schols of the state, as Omaha, Lincoln, Hastings, Beatrice. I am told that the coaches of these plays members of the fac ulty, and the English departments at that are paid, respectively, $200 and $100 for taking charge of. the plays. "Why do these professors let tuch per petrations get by? Is a University no longer an institution of "higher edu cation," but solely a medium for giv ing opportunities for social dancing and amateur dramatics? Yet we alumni are not above re proach, either. The phrase "land con tagious to the University" on a postal card received by us last summer, sent by the Alumni Association, was as University of Illinois Students Organ ize to Protest Against Wiles of Co-Eds Urban ill. University of Illinois students have organized an "Anti Fussing" Club. "Fussing" is the stu dent vernacular for "keeping company." ThA nriranization has announced the following schedule of fines for infrac tions of its tenets: Speaking to girl, 10 cents. Speaking to pretty girl, 25 cents. Talking about girl, 50 cents. Writing to girl, 75 cents. Thinking of girl (honor system), 5 cents. Fussing girl, SI'i cents. OUTSIDE Do you know the latest develop ments in the European war? Have you heard of the deadly disease that is ravaging the cattle in various parts of the country? Do you know that the new Federal Banking system has been put into operation? Have you read of the chaotic conditions again existing in Mexico? Do you know the results of the recent election outside of your own state? We would venture a guess that a surprising number of the student body would be forced to say no. The college student lives a secluded life in a little world of his own. He is like a monk who shuts himself up in a monastery, little concerned by the affairs of the world on the c-3tside. He believes that the world is confined to the limits of the class room. He knows and cares nothing of the busy, interesting world outside. He leads a shiftless. Irresponsible life which mainly consists of eating, sleping, a round of pleasure, and going to classes. Athletic contests and university hap penings are the only events of his life. The real world is beyond his sphere. Every college man and woman should keep in touch with the events of the outside world. Read a good newspaper, or at least keep up-to-date by means of a weekly magazine of the Literary Digest type. Take an hour off to read a standard periodical. In ad dition to its general educational value, this gives the opportunity of connect ing up what is taught in the class room with what is happening on the outside. Mere abstraction and theory from the class room becomes vitally interesting when its relation to some contemporary event may be seen. The liberalizing of an education is lost if you fail to watch the world. It does not pay to leave college four years be hind the times. Wisconsin Daily Cardinal. UNI. NOTICES The D. G.
