WANTED A GOOD SAMARITAN
, One of Nebraska's most prized traditions from the point of view
of entertainment and mirth. University Night la in danger of striking
a snag. Indeed, the snag seems already to have been struck, and unless
someone comes to the rescue, the students will be deprived of their
annual .evening of good-natured fun. The committee in charge of the
production, In spite of all efforts, can And no place to stage the affair.
The city auditorium in late years has been used, but the fire chief, in
enforcing an old ordinance that a production cannot be staged with
out an asbestos curtain, has eliminated that possibility, for the build
ing has no flre-proof curtain. So far it has not been possible to se
cure a hall, theater or suitable building of any kind.
University Night is the one time of the year when convention is
set aside to some extent, making it possible to direct good-natured
jokes at all faculty members and students. No one is exempt. Then
everyone has the opportunity to see himself as others see him All
foibles and weaknesses are pointed out in a pitiless fashion, but no
one takes offense for it is not done maliciously. On that night, Sigma
Delta Chi issues The Evening Sun, the university's annual scandal
sheet, which tops the evening's fun. In the last decade University
Night has come to be regarded as one of the school's most represen
tative affairs and one of its inos"t enjoyable. Many oi the peop'e of
Lincoln have come to look forward to the evening also. It is hoped
that a building may be offered that the school may not be obliged
to forego this enjoyable affffair.
THE RECENT COLLEGE REFERENDUM
From different standpoints the recent college referendum in re
gard to the peace treaty and the league of nations has been exceeding
ly Interesting and has realized profitable results.
In the first place, it is significant that leading statesmen and poli
ticians of the country viewed with interest, one might say in some
cases perhaps with trepidation, the outcome of the vote. It is a new
thing when politicians take cognizance of the opinion of college stud
ents on national affairs.
An outstanding feature has been the comment of the press. Scarce
ly a newspaper throughout the country that has not devoted its col
umns to the event, both editorially and from the news standpoint.
And, what is vastly important, a valuable lesson in citizzenship
has been learned. The ballot was not confined to those over twenty
one, but was extended to every college man and woman. Those un
der age have received training in voting. Students who perhaps had
never given serious thought to the peace treaty and league question
because it seemed so far removed from them, when they learned that
their opinion was wanted, studied the matter thoroughly, giving It
their most Intelligent consideration. There is no doubt that the ref
erendum has stimulated thought on national issues on the part of
America's young citizens.
THE VOCATIONAL CONFERENCE
"To bring all the students into contact with dilTent kinds of work
or with specialized branches of work in which they are already inter
ested; to Inform students of the possibilities of their chosen "oca
tion; and to facilitate the change from student work to the same or
similar work in actual business" is the purpose of a vocational eonlii
ence for both men and women to be held at the University of Wiscon
sin next month.
Formerly the conference was an annual event conducted by and for
university women under the auspices of the Women's Self-Governing
Association. The recognized need for similar work among the men
caused the affair to be changed to include men as well as womnn. On
the program will appear nationally prominent educators interested in
various phases of vocational work. After the address a special pro
gram of round table discussions will be carried out for those sufficnt
ly Interested to form groups desirous of personal help and information
from the speakers.
Such a conference should prove of Immense benefit to university
students, especially to those who have not yet decided what they want
to do after leaving college. Students without an objective may bo fur
nished the needed Incentive to finish their college course. When the
undergraduate has selected a goal he can then concentrate his atten
tion on courses which will help him attain it, and not fritter away
hiB time on non-essential subjects.
PILING UP THE WORK
Much comment has been heard on the campus about the piled-up
"last minute" work of this semester, and as usual, all students are ex
periencing some of this inconvenience. The student who leaves work
to be done In a rush the last week of the semester certainly does him-
elf and the course an Injustice. The man or woman who goes to coll
" e with the idea of really developing himself, rarely neglects his
efudies and although he may receive no more credit than the one who
8 dies' at intervals and never actually finishes anything, he has the
satisfying feeling of having done the work well. Moreover he has
Ined real knowledge and moral training. It is a well known fact that
" "h work" and "cramming" Is not successful as far as an education
liTconcerned. and the student who does it is usually taking the course
merely because of a requirement or for credit.
But It hi equally unjust to the students and professors to postpone
frnlng subjects for papers, extra laboratory, special note-books and
"i until the last week. Demands of all courses are necessarily
QU ter now than ear.ier In the year, so the additional requirements
times over-tax tbe students. As a result, often the most conscien
s ones submit papers and examinations which are not to their
edit and which lower the semester record. Naturally every profes
" considers hi course very important ai.d wishes to emphasize the
"alue of a well-rounded, broad and well-infomed view-point of the work
to his department, but often an over-dose of knowledge along mren.1
lines all oncfr more fcarm than lX3' A 8ltuatlo& llke tfcis
makes the last few weeks of each semester a very heavy burrdea for
the university students.

You are never too old to learn.

who meet daily on the library steps

There are no pleasure seeking young

atmosphere reigns over the campus
and class-rooms.
There is also a last attempt to gei

why all this sudden change of
