Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
APPRECIATION OF THE GOOD
It should be a source of gratification to the University public that
two of the most noteworthy public events of the year, the lecture of
Sir Rabindranath Tagore and the visit of the Portmanteau Players,
were made possible because of the keen interest in things worth while
on the part of the faculty members who secured these visits, and the
.faculty and students who paid to see ihem and in a large measure
made them financially successful.
The University should be the place for a eultivaiion of the
appreciaiton of things that are good and things that are true. The
ordinary diversions offered in the city of Lincoln are not of a kind
that will help one to cultivate these finer instincts. There is even
danger that the student, compelled if he seeks amusement, to go to a
cheap moving picture show or a tragic vaudeville performance such
as are so easily at hand, will have his appreciative sense so dulled that
he will lose interest in the finer things, or be content with seeing the
cheaper ones.
The dramatic arts department is helping kep alive a hunger for
things worth while. Such occasional visits as the Portmanteau help
still further.
The day is probably not far distant when the student body will
refuse to pay for some of the vaudeville performances that are com
mon and insulting to a person of average intelligence. The University
should take the lead in demanding the good, and in rejecting the
coarse, the cheip and the untrue.
USING THE FORUM
At the request of the Student Council charter convention, The
Nebraskan again urges the students to use the Forum columns of the
paper for a discussion of questions of vital University interest. With
a student body as heterogeneous as ours, there should be one or two
letters a day from students who could contribute constructive ideas.
During the discussion of the plans for the student council the Forum
could be the most valuable agency for exchange of student opinion
and suggestion to the charter convention. The Nebraskan only asks
that it knows who writes the article. The name will not necessarily
be published.
A WORD TO SIGMA DELTA CHI '
One of the features of the University Night performance in the
past years has been the publication of Sigma Delta Chi's annual extra
paper, "The Shun." The eagerness to read it, however, has sometimes
been met by disappointment by finding that its humor was often trash,
and its fun more bitter than good natured.
The editors of The Shun this year will make no mistake if they
keep the columns of the paper clean and free from coarseness. The
manager of University Night has said that all of the stunts will be "so;
let this one follow suit. There is so much real cheerfulness that is
worth while, that the kind that leaves a bad taste in the mouth need
have no place at an all-University affair.
The wrestling team's sweeping victory in the Iowa meet is one
bright spot in the midst of our rather unfortunate basketball season.

NON
COMPOS
MENTIS
OUR DAILY THOUGHT
A question will often start an argu.
ment, but it will seldom stop one.
Have you ever seen the sunrise
Creeping slowly up the sky
And tinting all the heavens?
Why, you're glad to be alive!
Have you ever met an old, old friend
And clasped him by the hand?
The gladness rising in your heart
Will be a si range thing to understand.
There is so much in all this world
Of good and beauty around us lies;
That all the troubles vanish soon,
And you're just glad to be alive.
Once upon
A time,
A direct
Deseendent
Of the Original
Sinner
Came down
To the
University
To get an
Education.
He had
Some money
That father
Had given him
And he thought
That it was
His duty
To make it
Co
As far as it could.
It went.
For just
As Father Adam
Bit at the
Apple
So did
Umpity-um grandson
Bite, but
Not on apples.
He spent
His money
O, so foolishly
For this and that
(For he was a "good sport")
Until
One day
It was
All
Gone.
And then
All that
Sonny
Had
Was the bills
To pay.
And he couldn't
Pay them
And his friends
Didn't call
V'm pet names
.t cut him
Cold.
And if it
Hadn't been
For one thing
He would have
Lost out
All around,
And that
One thing
Was a part
Of the education
He had come
Down to the University
To learn;
"A man's
A 'good sport' as long
As his money
Lasts, but
It doesn't
Last long
Enough."
