SEE THAT YOUR NAME IS THERE.
"You have lots of honors after your name in the Cornhusker,"
is the greatest stimulant yet. discovered for energizing freshmen Into
tnkin? nart In oarrmus activities. What more enticing reward can be
offered to the freshman in college? Is not recognition by the Uni
versity Annual, a suitable goal for the efforts of any student? The
Year Book is a permanent record of the achievements of university
students, and preserves for the future, the memories of their college
days.
CRITICISM.
The Daily Nebraskan is strong enough to endure criticism. It
welcomes and appreciates just stricture. If the service of the Daily
Nebraskan can be made more efficient or the style improved, the
staff welcomes constructive suggestions from any and all sources.
Our aim is to give the students the best newspaper possible. Through
co-operation the best results are secured.
Onr attention has been called in the last few days to the criticism
of a certain faculty member, who. we believe shows an altogether
unfair and prejudiced attitude towards the Daily Nebraskan. Neither
the Daily Nebraskan, nor any other college paper, claims to be a
model of literary art. Professors should not, and cannot expect the
student publishers of a college paper to emulate the style and
technique of a Shakespeare. The goal of a college paper is to state
in clear, readable form, the campus news. No attempt is made to
produce literature for the scholar; such can be found in the works
of Byron, Milton, Emerson, Keats, etc.
Rhetoric may be faulty at timts, through lack of proper care on
the part of news editors. Perhaps they are reading proof at 3 o'clock
in the morning, struggling to keep awake. Sometimes they get no
sleep at all. The work on the Daily Nebraskan Is not a.lways done
under the most favorable circumstances, and consequently errors will
creep in. If faculty members only appreciated the difficulties under
which much of the work on the paper is done, they would not be so
free with their criticism.
THE DEAD BEAT.
The highwayman is braver than the dead beat. Even the sneak
thief takes more chances with the law than he. All of these worth
ies are actuated by the same motives to shift the burden cf gaining
their livelihood upon the shoulders of others.
Immunity from legal punishment of the dead beat has caused the
industries of the more active robbers to languish of late years, and
while it is rare to find a man who goes out on the highway and boldly
holds up the wayfarer, every community has its quota of dead beats
who prey upon their confiding neighbors.
Even the University has its parasites. There are those who read
their neighbors' morning paper because they "forgot" to order it;
those who will peruse their friend's Hawkeye in the spring for
"neglect" to buy one. Some appropriate the treasured notes of
others, borrow a powder puff, and mooch a cigarette. Every one is
acquainted with the odorant species that visits a drug counter to
test the latest perfumeries and carries away a fusion of the garden
of roses, free of charge. There are many others.
The dead beats keep up a show of respectability. Often they
belong to a church and sit in the pew long enough to criticize and
censure the conduct of their neighbors. They are a severe tax on
any community and an intolerable group in a University. Legisla
tion cleans up other vices and student crusades puts across its drives.
Why not clean up the parasite vice and inaugurate a crusade against
the dead beat. Boycott him from the social life of the University.
Such an undertaking would be the first step toward true bliss in
society. Down with the dead beat. Daily Iowan.
AN AMERICAN CREED.
Thomas R. Marshall, vice president of the United States, speak
ing recently before the National Press Club, denounced Bolshevism
and anarchy, and propounded what he termed a new creed for
Americans. He said:
"I believe that the American Republic as instituted by the fathers
constitutes the finest system of government ever ordained among
men, and affords the machinery ofr the righting of grievances with
out resort to violence, tumult and disorder.
"I believe that every inequality which exists in the social and
economic condition or the American people is traceable to the suc
cessful demands of interested classes for class legislation, and I
believe, therefore, that practical equality can be obtained under our
form of government by remedial legislation in the interest of the
American people and not in the interest of anybody thereof, large
or small.
"I believe there is no justification in a government, where
officials are elected and laws made by the people, for a minority to
threaten bloodshed and anarchy unless the majority shall submit
to the will of the minority.
"I believe that America belongs to American citizens, native and
naturalized, who are willing to seek redress for their grievances in
oi'ut-iiy aud constitutional ways, and I believe that all others should
be taught, peacefully if we can and forcibly if we must, that our
country is not an international boarding house nor an anarchist
cafe.
"I pledge myself to the support of these principles by my voice,
my vote, and. If need be, my fortune and my life, and I promise my
country' to train my children In this most holy faith."
