THE OLYMPICS AS A TRADITION
Of all the things that go to make up a real University life the
observance of traditions Is perhaps the most outstanding. Tradition
is to the school what civil law is to the human race, a survival of
the best of the customs, and representative of the true spirit of their
progress.
One of the oldest of these customs of our college life is the
annual struggle between the two lower classes. It is the duty of
the second year men to Initiate their younger brothers, just entering,
Into a realization of new standards' and broader fields. Who is more
competent to do this than the sophomore, w ho has just passed through
all the phases of a Freshman's life? So rightfully to him falls the
task.
It is surely true that when we fight for our existence shoulder
to shoulder with a fellow classman against a common enemy and in
a common cause, that we will never again think of this' man as a
stranger but as an ally, a friend, and as a brother. Thus a spirit is
Lorn, which matures though the ensuing years until the day of our
graduation, and which in after years enables us to look back, with
vivid memories of our classmates and the days we spent with them.
So every freshman should look upon the Olympics, which will
take place on the day of the home-coming in November, as his op
portunity, not only to secure the immediate reward of diseharding
the green cap if he and his associates win, but to meet and become
indelibly affiliated with his fellows in the University way.
MEASURING THE MIND
Some scientist announced not long ago that it was possible to
invent a process of weighing an individual's brains without the ne
cessity of the individual being temporarily or permanently deprived
of the possesson of them, probably by some such method as is used
to find out how much Jupiter weighs' and why Saturn wears her rings
cocked over one ear. But what would be of vaster benefit would be
something to measure the mind. Quicksilver is about the only sub
stance that conveys an adequate idea of what one imagines the brain
to be, but who can picture a mind? The processes of thinking, of
memory, of affection, of all of the emotions, what are they anyway?
Why do dreams come so steadily to some and never or seldom to
ethers'? What is there about a dream in which the horror of it grips
so. tightly that if we go back to sleep again after being waked out
of it through the emotional excitement it produces, the mind will go
back to it again and again? What is there about a beautiful and
pleasant dream that makes it so elusive, that even if we can recall
it clearly at the moment of waking it quickly fades from remem
brance? Some folks sneer at the psychologists who are studying
mental phenomena so diligently, but it is in that very line of re
search and observation that the future welfare and happiness of the
race Is bound up. When we begin to discover how to measure the
mind we will uncover the richest treasurers of life Nebraska State

CUT OUT FOR DRIVERS
Did you ever stop to think mat
there are so many kinds of drivers
as there automobiles? Verily, there
are, and they vary as day from night;
or motorically speaking, as Fords
from Packards.
There is the driver who thinRs
that the speed laws should be re
duced to about one mile per hour,
and he drives accordingly. No mat
ter how little time he has, he snans
alon so slowly that you count the
bricks in the pavement to help kill
time. He lingers behind the ice
wagons, and stops at the crossings,
to see if it is perfectly safe for him
to leisurely locomote across.
Then there is the driver who ab
solutely ignores the existence of such
trifling non-essentials as speed laws.
He zips through the crowded streets,
and tears along the country roads as
if pursued by evil spirits. Uouph
roads and bumps mean nothing to
him. On and on he whizzes only
stopping when the gasoline is no
more.
Then, there is the thrilling type of
driver whose specialty Is freezing
your blood as he dashes madly before
an oncoming express train, or turn
ing your hair white, as he tickles the
sides of his car between two trclkjs.
Those who ride with him, think that
he is in league with the undertakers'
union or the tomb-stone trust.
Nearly every person who shins,
the gears of a car, has some favoi Me
method of expressing his individual-1

others seek to rid the world of any
children, chickens, or other obstacles.

The old theory that fertilizers serve

Immense quantities of plant food are
made available to roots by only lver

gestion is that fertilizers act as neu
tralizing agents to toxic substances
produced by growing crops. Support
ing evidence is soil sickness, the ex
traction of plant harmful substances
from infertile sells, the effect of
weeds, and tne stimulation by small
quantities of certain fertilizers. Cul
tivation and aerttlon tend to render
the poisons bfrtnless.
