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. Dally niinL

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.
