THE AWGWAN DESERVES SUP
PORT OF STUDENT BODY.
The biggest publicity agent of Har
vard outalde'of Its athletic teams is
its comic monthly magazine, "The
Harvard Lampoon." Cornell Univer
sity's "Cornell Widow," is a factor
which has put Cornell in the fore
most rank. The "Iowa Frivol." "Cali
fornia reHcan," "Carolina Tar Baby"
and numerous other college comics
have had the power, through their
extensive circulation throughout the
country, and the cleverness of their
columns, to put their respective
schools in the limelight. Any and all
of these comics have been the biggest
Tactor of, free advertising that the
universities could obtain.'
In the ' last few weeks, the
"Awgwan" has received communica
tions from "Topics of the Day." "Fox
News" and "Universal Current
Kvents," stating that from the
columns' of the "Awgwan." they have
taken the liberty to d.uote humorous
clippings and jokes: This In itself Is
a tremendous advertisement to the
University. Last year in the "Judge"
College Wits Contest. "Awgwan"
scored twice and throughout the coun
try "Awgwan" is a familiar name,
and with It Is connected the Univer
sity of Nebraska. '
Out of ' an approximate five thou
sand students, the school subscription
to "Awgwan" Is but eight hundred
copies. The "Awgwan" must have
more subscriptions and support or it
will die out
make the fuel commercially profitable,
but it Is hoped that it will be pro
duced at a lower cost than the pres
ent price of gasoline. It has been
proven, according to reports on tile,
that one ton of straw will produce
orty gallons of fuel. On the basis of
the estimated straw crop for this
year Nebraska would alone produce
thirty-five million gallons. And Ne
braska Is only one in 4 galaxy ot
states that grows wheat.
It is therefore the dream of the
chemists that the day will come when
the American farmer will have his
own still to turn his turn his straw,
now worthless, into fuel to drive his
automobile, and other farm machinery.
It has been conservatively estimated
that Nebraska farmers have been
wasting much of their straw, which
contains twelve dollars additional
gross revenue.
If the dreams come true, the coun
try will point the way to "every
farmer his own automobile fuel pro
ducer." The straw stack produced the
fodder for the yoke of oxen the
motive power of our pioneer days. It
Is therefore fitting and in harmony or
progress, that it should feed the mod
ern method of locomotion.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS NOW IN
8ESSION AT GENEVA.
The League of Nations Is not
scrapped, dead, or. deceased. To some
this may nol be evident because we
have heard and read continued re
ports of the death of the League.
The League of Nations Is now as
sembled at Gneva in its first formal
assembly. And the only citizens that
will be able to. keep their confidence
in Hiram Johnson's and Lodge's assur
ance that the League is deceased will
be those who refuse to read the city
papers thla week.
Great Britain has sent a hundred
diplomats, Japan is represented by the
diplomat Baron Hayashi and a numer
ous suite, and Lord Cecil, one of the
founders, is on hand in behalf of
South Africa. Outside of the nations
which fought on Germany's side, no
important country is unrepresented
save Mexico and the United States.
Germany and her allies are now de
sirous of gaining admittance into the
League. It doesn't seem feasible that
these nations are going to a large
expense In sending their delegates to
a League that is dead, deceased, and
buried.
It is true that America does not
have to belong to any League of
Nations but If It belongs to any it
will hare to be this one. Does any
one believe that forty nations, each
one of which thinks it is capable of
thinking aa wisely as America are
trolng to undo their work just to
please the United States?
Politicians for the last year hare
nntm lMurues out of their own small
paginations, in order to force the
League of Nations issue, xmow vaai
the election Is over, we should be
able to understand that if we are to
ioin the league partnership of nations,
that we cannot dictate all the terras,
because such a league would not then
be a partnership, but an autocracy.
IF DREAMS COME TRUE.
If the dreams, of government
rhemists come true , the straw stacks
on the farms will prove the solution
or the increasing, shortage of gaso
line. In the west where rtraw stacks

PROCRASTINATION AN EVIL.
Vutting things off is one of the
greatest evils of college life. The stu
dent who decides to do his work on
the morrow, to make up his back
work at the same time he is going
ahead with advance work, and who
crams for examinations, is a victim
of this evil.. It is almost as fatal to
put off one's study as it Is to skip an
examination. It is essential that a
undent put the most of his effort and
pbility into getting his lessons. That
is what he is here for. That is what
he is sent or allowed to come here
for. That is what the University was
built for, to attend to the intellectual
needs of the youths of the state. So
with this great institution, the elabo
rate preparations for hard and earnest
work, the efTort and self denial of
home folks in order that he may at
tend college, the student who fails to
do his work, to do his duty as it
were, is a criminal. And the student
who fails is the one that puts off
doing his work . until It is too late.
Efficiency is not an inherent power.
Efficiency is acquired by evolution. It
is the outgrowth of effort, of concen
tration, of self sacrifice, of vlgllence
and its greatest factor the power of
doing things when they should be
done. The movie, the dance, the
vaudeville, the car ride, the little
game of cribbage, the evening spent
in gossip or on a date, all tend to
destroy efficiency. They take one's
mind from his studies tearing down
his power of concentration. They
lead him to be extravagant and over
come any tendency to sacrifice any
thing that would Interrupt his pleas
ure. They slacken up his effort to
derive benefit from his work and lead
him to think that there Is more to
get from pleasure than from books.
His power of observation is dimmed,
his mind loses Its interest in school.
He is a victim to procrastination.
Then is the movie, the vaudeville, the
dance, the little game and the date
a nuisance and a hindrance to a col
lege student. Relaxation Is neces
sary. It Is not necessary that a stu
dent make a bookworm of himself
and avoid any touch with the above
but they must be used as a relaxation
by a mind of good, well balanced
judgment and not made an habitual
nuisance. Their tendency Is to 'i!.-'
one "put off until tomorrow" the
things which should be done now. A
balanced ration of work, sleep and
entertainment Is necessary. An over
dose of any of the three is fatal in
some way to the college student.
He was teaching her Arithmetic;
He said it was bis mission;
He kissed her once, he kissed her
twice, and said, "this is addition;
And on he added, smack by smack,
in silent satisfaction.
She timidly gave him one bw:k and
said, "now that's subtraction.'
Then he kissed her and she kissed
him without an exclamation;
And then they both together saiti
"That Is multiplication."
But dad appeared upon the scone
and snorted in derision;
He kicked "poor him" three blocks
away, and said, "that's long dl
vision."
