NEGLECTING IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES t A few years ago there was an evident interest in school and class activities which has been noticeably lacking in more recent times. This condition of affairs Is regrettable In itself but It be comes all the u.oie so because the activities which have been ne glected are worthwhile and should be established as student tradi tions. Such tilings as tlass plays, varsity and class debate, the Kosmet play, cla:-a football, the annual Ireehman-sophomore class scrap, have not received the support they ar. entitled to and widespread interest . in them has not been developed this year. During war times they were dropped as a matter of course but that is no reason why they should not be speedily revived and placed on their former basis as collide ihMltUtioflfl, The KofclV.St p!ay wi'.t undoubtedly come back this year. U answers admirably the student demand for a light musical comedy and will no doubt be given strong support. Its production this year will be greeted with the hearty approval of the student body. Class Olympics are likewise to be revived this year, it is announced. The fight will be an interesting on for last year's freshman class was deprived of this experience, and as sophomores, they will enter the scrap without having tasted the thrill of a previous class battle. Other activities should not meet death for lack of interest. They have a place in promoting university spirit. They are activities which are open to practically the entire student body and they re quire no especial talent or ability. Student interest and enthusiasm may be dormant but it sl.ould not be allowed to wane for all time. DIVIDE THE HONORS This university has a number of students who have so many things to do that they cannot do any one thing well. Not because they are inefficient nor because they do not have the thing at heart, but because there are so many demands upon their time that they cannot do justice to each one. It Is true that there are many who refuse to accept responsibility. But it is equally true that some of the responsibilities may be transferred to other students, who have equal ability, and who not only relieve the leaders but also will de velop themselves. Many schools have adopted the point system, whereby this feature is eliminated. By allowing so many points for each office or other school honor, and granting only a certain number of points to each person, honors are more equally distributed and the danger of overburdening a few is lessened. This plan makes for efficiency, as the person who is at the head of one organization in place of two or three, naturally has more time to devote to that one. IF WISHES WERE- "If wishes were horses, beggars might ride," is a saying many years older than modern education. The development of modern edu cation, however, has produced beggars that ride a species of the horse family known as ponies. That this class of horsemen are not only beggars while they are riding, but that they will also be beggars in later years, was brought out not long ago by an alumnus, who had been through the mill, while giving an after-dinner talk to a group of under-classmen. The epitome of his story was that many students had the same ideas of college life as a friend of his, who, when told that a pony would save him much work, replied: "Give me two ." "But let me tell you," the grad struck home, "the man who rides through college on a pony has a mighty long, hard walk ahead of him after he gets out and tries the same thing on the world." Students some times become so Immersed in this idea of "putting one over" that they go beyond the limit of the patience of higher institutions of learning. But it is no uncommon thing for these youth ful seekers of education to let slide class and laboratory work until the night before a mid-term, then to "bone" all might trying to cram their minds with knowledge and making a small slip of paper known as a pony carry all that their minds won't hold. When trying this same system on the world failure results, for there are no midterm examinations, no final chances; work must be kept pace with day by day. Accumulations of duties soon bring an order for dismissal from the man higher up. Ohio State Lantern. DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP The average college student, in his rush for credits and in his conscientious search for knowledge, often neglects the devolopment of that which is the logical result of a proper college education leadership. Without this quality an education is a selfishly sought advantage instead of a power which is to be used In blazing trails for other people to follow and find filled with benefits. A student should assume that the world is waiting for his leader ship In the background of consciousness he should feel a responsi bility to the citizenship which is making his education possible. He should realize that he is one of the favored few who has been given the pportunity of a ful'er development than his average fellowman. He should remind hims.-if that twenty years from now, he has failed proportionately if he is not a leader in his chosen, work. With this spirit direct:ng his colVge life he will find himself developing that leadership which he r.reds to carry him to his goal. The Daily Kanran.

The strict materialist, with his eye glued to the present, might argue that conditions are unusually unfav orable for a widespread intensifica tion of interest in education. The fact remains, however, that colleges and universities on all sides are hav ing difficulty in meeting their in creased responsibilities and that a tremendous straining of their facili ties is the general rule. Young Americans of today realize that the man who has mental training bas something that is not subject o change and chance as are other pos sessions. This applies to all forms of "iental training. The boy who gel6 a common or high school education. the boy who secures vocational in struction that fits him to discharge well a particular set of duties, has something of value and will always have something of value to himself and to society, no matter what may happen. EDUCATED WIVES SCARCE War Has Created an Unsatisfied World Demand New York, Oct. 25. Another world demand which the war has ren dered greater than the available sup ply is for educated wives, according to reports from foreign missionaries received today by the inter-church world movement of North America. "The demand,' says a statement is sued at inter-church headquarters. "is particularly great in the Orient and Africa, where millions of men have returned from the armies ol the allies after having had a glimpse of occidental marriage relations and found them desirable. "According to one missionary's re port a young Moslem sheik offered to pas up the four native wives alotted to him by the Koran if the missicn ary would bring him an educated American girl to share his salt and his camel's hair tent Daily Nebraskan at Farm The Daily Nebraskan from now on will be distributed at the Farm cam pus at the book store at thirty-sixth and Holdrldge.
