A TEST OF STUDENT INTERESTS
Are student at the University of Nebraska too busy to pay any
attention to university life in general outside the realm ol their own
particular' activities? Are they too much concerned with what they are
trying to do Jo concern themselves with problems of universal interest
to students?
The meetings which have been announced for the present week
will be a test of student spirit in this regard. They have been ar
ranged for the purpose of presenting great problems and getting the
student interested in some of the basic principles which underly uni
versity life.
The meetings are not conducted by the young men's and young
women's Christian associations on the campus although they receive
their support. They are all-university discussions on all-university
questions. The addresses which Mr. Wilson will give concern mere
than spiritual welfare. They deal with social and industrial problems
as applied to the university and to the outside world. The theme in
general will be "Constructive Christian Democracy," a tonic which the
college world needs to cure its indifference at the present time.
HITTING ON ALL TWELVE
Did you ever ride 40 miles an hour in a Ford, and then fly along
at the same speed in one of the high-priced 12-cylinder cars? If you
have only been an observer of the progress of these machines, you
will at least grasp the comparison.
Daily a similar comparison may be witnessed at the University,
as some of the students may be seen scurrying across the campus,
while others sail serenly along toward their destination. Both get
there at the same time, but the scurrying ones seem to require so much
more effort. They not only expend much unnecessary energy in get
ting any place, but they continue to talk about their need for nurry
before they start and after they arrive, until the casual or bored lis
tener wonders why they don't hire a taxi and save effort
As a rule, the. student who walks, not lazily, but in a purposeful
way, is the one that has the greater amount of business to attend to.
He gets there just as easily as does the 12-cylinder car, and can draw
a larger load.
So many students can put themselves in the 12-cylinder class by
refusing to get excited over the duties to which they must attend and
by taking calmly the seeming uproar that prevails in the world. Three
weeks of the school year have elapsed and the rush and excitement
still continues. It is up to the individual students to settle down to
their work in a quiet and undisturbed manner, for they go to make up
a university of 12-cylinder accomplishments.
. SUPPORT NEBRASKA COMIC MAGAZINE
How many students realize that the University of Nebraska pub
lishes a monthly comic magazine which ranks with the best in the
country? And yet Awgwan has a subscription list that numbers in
the' hundreds. University students to the last one should subscribe
to this' publication and thereby show their appreciation for it.
Nebraska's comic has heen quoted in "Topics of the Day" in
news films the country over, and yet the students of the school where
it is published don't think it worthy of their support to the extent
of the price of a subscription. National newspaper syndicates also
use paragraphs' from Awgwan.
Awgwan is of national prominence. It can stand comparison with
comic magazaines which have subscription lists of tens and hundreds
o fthousands. The humor, the art, the cover designs, and every other
feature of the magazine are excellent work.
Why, then is it that a student considers he is' doing his part if
he is satisfied with reading Awgwan over another's shoulder. It is
time the students were awake to the good thing's of their school.
Everyone subscribe and bring the subscription list of Awgwan into
the thoubiands.
WILSON AND CONSTRUCTIVE DEMOCRACY
Democracy is the goal of the ages. The blood of 10.000,000 sol
diers who died on the battlefields of Europe, and the burden laid up
on future generations of a debt of $450,000,000,000 are the result of
effort to make the past gains of democracy secure. These are some
of the thoughts' brought out in the course of lectures known as "Con
structive Christian Democracy of the World" which will be given by
J. Stitt Wilson this week for university students. The first lecture
of this series will be given Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock In the
Armory. The second will be given at a epecial convocation in the
Temple Wednesday morning at Che same hour, the subject of which
lg -The Very Soul of Democracy." The Supreme Virtue of Demo
cracy" will be given at the Temple Thursday evening at seren thirty
o'clock.
Nebraska is fortunate in having secured this man for his insti
tute, or series of lectures. He is being eought by prominent men
from all parts of the country. He has been urged to cancel his Ne
braska engagement in order to lecture on the League of Nations.
Always In the advance gtard in vital problems, he is considered an
authority on the solution of labor problems.
A Nebraska :odect bo heard Mr. Vil6on recently says of him.
-He approaches socia: and industrial problems from an absolutely
differed angle. Every ce who Intend to employ men, lead men or
tnveoce men tbou'd t-ar him. He is simply great."

GLIMPSE OF A BIG MAN
Always Gompers has tried to feVer
a middle course, and it has not been
easy, says a writer in Forbes Miga
rine. I recall one night when the
head of the carpenters union had ae
fied the shipyards. It was just at
the time when the German tide was
rolling across France, and American
ships wers needed to carry American
soldiers overseas. Gompers bad
rushed into the breach to check his
unruly subordinates. It had been a
day of conferences and meetings, of
hot words and rash threats. It was
late at night when the last meeting
broke up, and Sam Gompers sank
into bis office chair completely ex
hausted. His odd, squat fpire
showed utter weariness in every line;
his sparse hair was rumpled.
The newspaper men who had been
holding their vigil in the hall ay
gathered round the labor leader to
know wLetLer be had brought his in
i-uifcni union president to order.

easy on your stories, and remember,
if you should indicaC that I am tak

that you are destroying utterly any
UFefulness I may have."
Your Measure
During the four years In which a
student resides at the unlverslt). he
creates certain Impressions among 1Ih
felow-classmates. ns well aa among
his Instructors and professors, a per
manent record of which Is Med in the
office of the registrar upon the grad
uation of each student. Each depart
ment of the Institution thus places on
permanent record Just what kind of
a man or woman the student has de
veloped into by the time he has ob
tained his degree. Business men and
industrial concerns apply by hundreds
nh vear at the registrar's office for
information regarding the personali
ty habits. Industry, accuracy, seii-ie-
liance and other important knowledge
which any Important business organi
zation endeavors to obtain about u
colege graduate whom fhey arc go
ing to employ, and it is these morns
which supply the information.
In manv ways this Is unfair to tne
student, because he is simply rated by
his Instructor or professor at the time
when he has nearly completed a
course under the particular instruc-
or and has no opportunity of know
ing Just how he appears in the cell
mate of himself as filed by the partic
ular department. If this system were
arranged so that each student was rat
ed by the faculty members of his own
school during the middle of his Jun
ior year, and given a personal inter-
iew after such an estimate had neon
made by one of the faculty who had
assisted In the rating, the saudent
would have a chance to profit by a
knowledge of the defects in his make
up as they appear to others, who nre
qualified to judge in such matters.
Hence, he would have the opportunity
to overcome these defects, or at ieasi
to improve himself, and, indirectly to
increase Ms earning power after he
gets into the business world. fur
