UNIVERSITY SCHOLASTIC
RECORDS TAKE SLUMP
That the number of scholastic fail
ures this year has bjoken all records
in the universities represented is re
ported from a conference of ten uni
versity Deans of Men held at the Uni
versity of Illinois, February 20-21. Uni
versity standards in general were re
ported lower than usual, while Inter
est In social affairs and student ac
tivities was greater. The war wai
Warned as one cause.
Have you ever been down to the
University field during the afternoon
this spring, seeing a number of men
rrnning from one goal-post to anotli
t. hurling themselves between two
posts, sprinting around the board
t'ack or seeming to aimlessly paw the
air with their feet while they are
holding on to some posts with their
hands? Day in and day out you will
find these men there whether the
day be inclement or not. And what
reward do these men get from this
training? Some go to represent Ne
braska at the meets but all cannot
do this. They may have to train two
or three years before they are even
recognized. Do they ever receive
any encouragement? Some yes, but
l iobably only from one of their track
mates. Let s see more interest laneii
in track work by the students and
more encouragement given the track

The Engineers will go to Chicago
this spring for. their inspection trip.
The week of April 18-24 has been de
cided upon for the tour. The final
decision on the place and the time
came at a meeting of the juniors and
seniors of the Engineering College
Thursday morning. According to the
plan adopted the party will go from
Lincoln to Burlington, Iowa, where
they will inspect the iron works, then
to Keokuk to visit the great dam
across the Mississippi river, and
from there to Chicago. One day will
be spent Inspecting the steel works
at, Gary, Indiana. Besides visiting
plants and factories at Chicago the
Engineers plan to see the art and
field museum and Grant and Garfield
parks. The party will disband Sun
day night, April 24, at Chicago.
The choice was given to the En
gineers of visiting Kansas City, St.
Louis or Chicago. Chicago was chosen
because of the greater opportunities
there to see the greatest mills and
structures oT the country.
The party will be kept together as
much as possible. A trip to some
plant will be arranged for every day
and attendance will be compulsory
until Saturday when a optional trip
will be arranged.
Every Engineer is required to go on
an inspection trip before graduation.
A trip to some manufacturing center
is made every spring.
