THE NEED FOR A SINGLE TAX
The appeal of the Dally Nebraska for subscriptions this week
emphasizes the need of the single tax at the University of Nebraska,
The Nebraskan is but one of the necessary benefits which the stu
dent takes advantage of at a nominal cost. The dally paper is an
ess'ential institution on the University campus. It affords publicity
for all worthy activities, it boosts for football games and athletics,
it is a medium of university announcements. In short, the college
daily Is instrumental in bringing the student into closer touch with
his university.
Notwithstanding the fact that every student reads the "Rag"
every day, even though he must "mooch" it or read the other fel
low's, the Daily Nebraskan must exert its utmost efforts every se
mester to secure subscriptions from merely a part of the student
body. It isn't because students do not read the "Rag." They do. It
is the lure and attraction of. getting something for nothing, that ap
peals! to the non-subscriber. And subscribers pay for it.
The single tax would equalize the burden of putting out a daily
publication. Every student receives the benefits of the paper and
every student would pay for it, according to the tentative provisions
which have been drafted in the plans for a single tax. The single tax
j haa the endorsement of the student body and is looked upon favor-,
t.ably by he regents. A movement coming from the student body, will
ultimately put it into effect. You, who support student activities,
who pay for the others' fellow's "Rag," should back the movement.
IX 1.
MIXING
Are freshmen anxious to meet and become acquainted with other
members of their class, or are they just a little timid when they
meet other members of the class of '23 on the campus? Perhaps
some of the upperclassmen imagine that there is a little coolness be
tween some members of the first year class, but even so, this should
not be the case. If you have been introduced, formally or informal
ly, to any member of your class, speak to him, when you are inter
ested in him. If you have not been introduced but the other fresh
man smiles' and tries. to speak do not give him the cold stare, treat
him as so much atmosphere, and pass blandly by. Return his affable
salutation. It will not hurt you, and nearly always, it will do you a
world of good.
The traditions of Nebraska were not built, and do not stand, on
formality alone. Of course we must respect formality but too much
of this quality leads to a stilted, conventional university life. Mix
with those who desire to mix with you. Speak to them. Talk to
them. They are your comrades, perhaps for four years, and if you do
not become acquainted with them, you are cheating yourself.
SPIRIT RULES
Announcement of the new rules governing freshman meu has
brought forth protest In some circles, but for the most part the day
on which they are to go Into effect is being looked forward to with
anxiety and earnestness by both rulers and ruled. Men who have
entered the University wfthin the last two years have expressed re
gret that they are not going to have the chance of getting the taste
of class spirit that will be afforded the freshmen by the new meas
ures. The more pointed the restrictions are, the more potential will be
their effect. For instance, three years ago the "peanut" headgear for
yearlings was abolished in favor of caps modeled along the lines of
those used for street wear. It was a compromise to save the under
classmen from ridicule, but since that time spirit among the first
year men has been steadily on the decline. When the matter was in
vestigated it was decided that the ridicule and self-consVlcusneHS
brought to the fresh by the wearing of the ludicrous cap had bunded
them closer together.
This year the new rules have revived the dollar cap (both in
size and price) and it is expected that it will do much to revive fresh
man class spirit. The other 12 rules were designed for the same
purpose. Keeping off the Long Walk and the University Hall en
trance will daily remind the yearling of his class; the effect of at
tending all football games and singing and yelling in one united whole
would be tremendous, and the prohibiting of high-school insignia on
the campus will leave the new men free and equal to enter upon a
University life of broader prospect. In truth, the new freshman rules
are spirited rules. Ohio State Lantern.

UNI NOTICES
WHY ARE YOU IN SCHOOL?
The world is asking you that ques
tion. Fathers and mothers at home
are aasking ' that question. E"cry
young man and woman you meet who
are denied this privilege hasten on
to their unending toil with this Query
in their minds. The halls of Cotner
seem to echo that question from the
billowed fields of France. In these
days, when the world is hunger -.
for trained leaders, when less t'.ian
two per cent finish their college tiain-
Ing, when seven million of the flower
and pick of the world's manhood are
lying in premature graves, we are
untrue to all if we do not consider
seriously this question.
It is very evident to the observer
why some attend college. Athletics
lure many to the college campus but
a trained muscle without a trained
mind is reverting to the fang and the
claw. The donkey is one of the high
est exponents of the trained mupcle.
Some come to spend "dad's' 'money
and enjoy themselves. This is ho un
worthy that It has the condemnation
of every rlxht thinking person.
There are others who come for kain.
To train theniKelves to go out into
the commercial life to amass lor-
tuneH or to achieve power. To say
the least, this is selfish. It Is the
philoHophy of a woodsawer in Hol
land. Some would come to attain
knowledge alone, to become an ency
clopedia of facts. This alone will not
establish justice. It was a trained
mind that sent Edith Cavell to the
firing squad. I care not how keen
may be one's mind, or how much
knowledge he may possess, if ho has
a selfish heart, low Ideals and an
ungoverned will, he is a menace to
society and a foe to democracy.
We should not be in college with
these motives. We cannot serve our
day if these are our ambitions. Man
does not reach the heights of useful
ness and power if these are his lines
of development. The greatest force
in the world is not the power which
drives the locomotive across tue
prairie, which sends the airship fly
ing through the air like the swallow.
It is not electricity or radium, out it
Is the power generated in the human

John Ruskin, while crossing a small
ditch, picked up a handful of mud. In
his laboratory he found it was com

We are in the laboratory. Our lack
of polish, our selfishness, our weaic

It sees the culture of mind and soul,

his lessons well.
