For This Issue
WELCOME, EDITORS.
As a representative of the University of Nebraska, we wish to wel
come you, members of the Nebraska Press Association. We want to
show you a few phases of our campus life when every thing is in
"running order." We want you to see our great educational machine
at work. You will be our guests exclusively today and do not hesi
tate to call on our badged committeemen, who will serve as informa
tion bureaus and guides alike, for anything you wish to know about
our school. We realize that you come from every nook and corner
of Nebraska, and from small towns and large, and for this good rea
son we want to become acquainted with you. Try to acclimate your
selves to the life of a college town and we will gladly lay bare our
innermost educational mechanism, and our campus activities.
OUT OF PLACE?
"What we set out to win in life makes us like or different from
those around us." Do you ever feel that you have not had quite a
fair chance to "get into" school affairs and feel sort of out of place
in a crowd of class or organization enthusiastis? Yet, have you
really tried very consistently and persistently to get into any par
ticular activity? Much of your success will depend on what you set
out to win and the way you go after it.
NEBRASKA IN CHINA.
Many students do not know Grace Coppock or her relation to
the University of Nebraska. Thirteen years ago she was one of
three Y. W. C. A. secretaries in China from the United States. Today
Bhe is the general secretary of China and head of eighty-nine Y. W.
C. A. workers. In addition, the Nebraska student association has
pledged itself responsible for her support Her salary is raised every
year. by pledges from the Nebraska "co-eds" and this campaign is to be
waged next week. Each girl will be asked to contribute as much as
possible, the amount of four dollars being recommended as a general
average since that will support her one day in China. The tact that
Miss Coppock, who is in America on a furlough, is to be here her
self for this campaign, makes the subject a vital one and has created
much interest.
Miss Coppock says of her first student conference in China: "I
look back these months to that Hangchow conference of students,
one of seven student conferences now held annually throughout
China, with an attendance of nearly 1,000 and, by contrast, recall that
first conference in 1907, in Fukien Province, when we felt we did
well to get twenty-eight to attend. Blessed be beginnings but more
blessed still it is to view some years of progress, especially when it
means the development of such leadership is is being raised up in
the China association."
"Two or three letters at the beginning of a word may make a
lot of difference in its meaning. Thus an encourager is one who
pours courage into a person; a discourager is one who drains away
whatever courage a person may have."
WEAR 'EM OUT.
In all the hurry of getting a running jump on the second semes
ter, some of us have doubtless been missing a few bets. The most
evident of these opportunities is attention to a few of the current
economic problems. And the greatest of these for us of K. U. is
the "wear your old clothes" campaign.
This is not a proposition of making university life one round of
"tacky" or "roughneck" gatherings and activities but of not purchas
ing any additional unnecessary clothes for the spring season. Every
student dressing the best he could with what clothes he already has,
could make a much more presentable Bpectacle than even the down
town district of a metropolitan city.
Cleanliness is next to godliness, but godliness, or even ordinary
cleanliness was never connected with the effort to make a human
being resemble one of the "pretty boys" of the fashion plates in the
popular magazines. A gentleman is easily recognized, even in a suit
that is seeing its second season, and no one will sneer at his "polish"
if his coat is a trifle shiny.
We students have a great many places where our money could be
spent advantageously, and by "passing up" the customary spring suit,
(it costs $50 at the very least this spring) some very necessary things
can be attended to that would otherwise probably be neglected.
Let's send the suit to the cleaners, then, and see if it can't be
made to last at least until the Easter season. Daily Kansan.

THE DAILY DITTY
by
Gayle Vincent Grubb
A football game is a football game,
And a game of chess is chess;
A rolling stone's worth two in the
bush
And these B. B. games a mess.
The Greeks who are battlin' rough
and tough
In the hopes of stackin' firBt
And sweatin' the sweat of a sum
mer's day
With their throats all parched with
thirst
Are playing thr queerest kind of a.
game
It Las been my luck to see,
Where a guy is knocked for twenty
feet
And the knocker laughs with glee.
A lot of the guys imagine the court's
A blasted football field.
And they use their fists or pointed
shoes
As the weapons that they wield.
And how come? This is basketball
A man is not require'
To show the world how strong he is
The lookers-on grow tired.
So each and every man who swells
His muscle for a bltr
Should then and there be barred frcm
ever
Finishing the show.
And led to where a tombstone reads:
"He played too dirty, much,'
And dig bis own residing place
To lay himself "in Dutch."
