Do Btudents of the University of Nebraska want to have the Daily Nebraskan discontinued? Judging strictly from the attitude of apathy shown by students, an observer would conclude that this . must be the case. But we firmly believe that the student body needs the Daily Nebraskan and that it is willing to do all that It can to maintain the paper upon the old status. In our opinion there Is a mutual interdependence between the student body and the Daily Nebraskan. There exists, also, a mutual obligation. The Daily Nebraskan cannot continue to exist without the full support of the student body. Nor can the student body continue upon the same basis as before, without the Daily Nebraskan. The paper serves as the connecting link between all the activi ties of the campus, the students who are conducting the activities, and the mass of other students, who are no less interested in what is going on about the campus, but who have not the time or the inclination to become active in these affairs themselves. Were it not for the service which the Daily Nebraskan renders this latter class of students, they would be completely isolated from campus affairs. The Daily Nebraskan is facing a deficit of $600.00 at the end of the present semester. The cost of all materials entering into the production of the Nebraskan has risen greatly, but the cost of the paper to students has remained the same that it has been Tor twelve years. The two sources of revenue are through adver tising and subscriptions. The rates -of one or the other of these mediums must be raised if the publication of the paper is to con tinue. The management of the paper has decided to adopt the former expedient, and will furnish the paper to students at the old price of one dollar. An opportunity will be given students next week to prove that they are in sympathy with the efforts of the Daily Nebraskan staff to serve the student body. This week an appeal is directed to fraternities and sororities in the hope that each organization will subscribe 100 per cent, to the Daily Nebraskan. As a special inducement, the Dailv Nebraskan offers a copy of the Cornhusker to each fraternity or sorority that gives a usbscription for every member. A last formal tribute to the memory of the greatest of all mod ern Americans, Theodore Roosevelt, was paid by students and fac ulty of the University at the memorial services Monday morning. Characterized by Governor McKelvie as the leading exponent of Americanism, he strived ever to promote the welfare and pros perity of his country. As patriot, orator, statesman, scholor, and soldier, he struggled for the establishment of sound, ethical con duct in relations between men and nations. His influence cleansed political corruption; his virile personal ity commanded the respect of the world. We are proud to do honor to the name of Theodore Roosevelt It isn't hard to pick some civilians who recently were second lieutenants, by the hand-out-of-pocket way they stride down the street, glowering at innocent privates as though expecting a salute. Now is the time to start studying for the exams next June. It saves lots of worry if you will only take to heart this little piece of advice and "dig in" on those knotty math problems while the smoke still rises from the chimney tops. Next Spring when the robins begin to appear, the course on the Library steps Is apt to become enticing, and it will be a trial to confine ourselves to the dull, monotonous routine of sine, cosine, secant and tangent Columbia College, which has taken the initial step in giving psychological tests instead of entrance examinations to those who are entering, has shown to American colleges the path toward modern ideals of education. The amount of facts and knowledge that a student happens to retain in his head do not furnish criteria upon which his future learning may be based. The many new conditions and surround ings with which the student is faced, have an infinite effect upon his college career. If he Is of the right "stuff." he will be able to make use of his new environment and so get the most ont of bis college life. And the only way to find out If he Is capable Is through psychological tests, and not the old-fashioned entrance examinations.

UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS BEING RAPIDLY FINISHED The Daily Nebraskan The department of construction at the university reports that they are awaiting spring with great prepara tions for the completion of much ex tenor work on tne new university buildings. This work has been held up the past ten days on account of the recent cold snap, but in the mild period which preceded, a large amount of this necessary work was done. The department, however, Is "working over time" so to speak, planning and finishing the detail work of the buildings, and under favorable conditions both Teachers' College and Social Science buildings will be ready for occupation next fall. The work on the Teachers' College is progressing nicely. The steam was turned on for the first time today and the plastering is being rapidly com pleted. The heat has been on in the Social Science building for a number of days and the workmen are now busy with plastering and interior fin ishing. The scaffolding on the latter building has been almost entirely re moved and to the bystander who views the building from the outside, it appears almost entirely ready for occupation. The carpenter's shop, north of University Hall, has been completed, except for the brick-veneering which will be done as soon as weather con ditions permit As stated before this building will be used to store the car penters' tools belonging to the uni versity and also as a working room for the carpenters themselves. The new laboratory for animal pathology and hygiene wi'l be the next building in process of construc tion, and the basement excavation has already been completed. Other building activities are not apparent at this time, but if the leg islature of Nebraska so directs, the university will see the construction of other important campus-buildings, which are so badly needed now.
