THE LEAGUE OF THE SECOND GENERATION As the readers of The Nebraskan may have noticed, we are trying to organize a League of the Second Gen eration. This will be composed of all students one or both of whose par ents attended the University of Ne braska. The work of organizing should take place in the near future. But to proceed It is necessary to know how many students there are on the campus who are eligible to membership. There is no way of so knowing at present except by the students volunteering the Information. All students, therefore, one or both of whose parents attended the Uni versity of Nebraska, will please re port at The Daily Nebraskan office during this week. If there is no one present, leave your name and address on a spindle. Get In line and help work for a Greater Nebraska. RELIGIOUS LIFE DEPT THE NEED OF CLEAR THINKING IN RELIGIOUS MATTERS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND CUSS WORDS At the recent opening of the West ern league, a member of The Nebras kan staff chanced to sit near three other students of the university. No. matter what the topic of conversation was, the remarks of these three in dividuals were constantly so punctu ated with profanity as to be exceed ingly disgusting. Their mastery of the vocabulary of rough talk was such as to make the street bums in their vicinity sit open-mouthed with envy Such habits as this do not win any one favor with - evert' a bleacher crowd. Such a vocabulary does not even lend emphasis. It. is such con; duct as this in public places that leads parents to keep their sons andi daughters away from large schools. If you must carry on in such a man ner, do it In private, where those who are innocent of it will not share the blame. After dinner dances at Mccormick's Cafe.

' See HALLETT Optometrist Est. 1871 1143 O (By C. J. Pope) One effect of a university education should be to make' the student more analytic. He should be able the bet ter to distinguish between the essen tial and the incidental, fact and the ory, reality and the expressions in which reality may clothe itself. This power should assist him to appraise things with their relative values. The need to do so is as apparent in the realm of religion as in other phases of life. Indeed, there are few common subjects about which there are more popular misconceptions than about the subject of religion. The cause for this may be found, pos sibly in part, in the fact that religion finds expression through institutions of various names differing somewhat in organization, in ritual, in the rela tive emphasis which they place upon the different religious teachings. With the inherent right of each man to in terpret the Bible for himself these differences are inevitable. Moreover, with the natural interest which men have to ascertain the truth and to im part their conceptions of truth, It is just as inevitable that there should be discussion of religious subjects in which varying views are advocated. Possibly this presentation of vary ing views has Jed to confusion of thought concerning religion because there has been lacking in the popular mind the ability to distinguish be tween that which is essential and that which is incidental. It is im portant to note that the greater part of religious discussion has been rela tive to those things which are inci dental. Much of it has not been con cerned with the inherent nature of Christianity. Christianity is essentially nothing more nor less than a personal rela tionship between the individual and God. Since man is inherently religi ous this relationship is most natural, simple and direct. The institutions of religion are important in assist ing one to realize this relationship. The forms of worship and of religious rituals, whether elaborate or simple, help one to maintain that relationship more vitally and constantly. Religious creeds lead one to more vivid concep tions of truth and to better stand ards of life. But all these may vary without affecting in the least the es sential nature of Christianity, for that is a personal relationship be tween the individual soul and God. The task for the university student is to think clearly through any con fusion which may be in his own mind, to distinguish between the essential In religion and the incidental, be tween the' fact of religion and theories about it, between the reality and the forms in which that reality may clothe itself. He needs this for his own re ligious, development. He, like the tree, grows most normally when se curely rooted. He needs this, too, because of his influence upon the re ligious thought of others. One task of the university man and woman is to help others to think clearly. NON COMPOS MENTIS One of the professors said, the other day, thai IL lout "poetic" to be on time to classes. It is very "com monpiace." Hurray! During the Girl's club membership campaign, last week, one girl Bald she'd Join if there weren't any boys in the club! She must be trying to start a boycott in the school.

Some of the un-poetic souls that read this column, couldn't see why there were so many poems about spring a couple of weeks ago. We can't help It If spring insists upon coming, and since it does come poets and fools will forever rave. Oh, sweet (?) strains of music that come on the breeze From the conservatory across the way; We oft wish that Pan had bursted his reed, When we hear thee screaming all day.
