A TIMELY SUGGESTION.
Many parents are set to wondering
when their sons and daughters put
in an untimely appearance at home
after a short period spent at the
University. These parents often
wonder what Is wrong with an institu
tion that has the presumption to dis
charge their son or daughter from its
class rooms an suggest that they
take a rest It is not surprising that
many of these parents become antago
nistic to the University. They hear
the plea of the child and, haying con
fidence in him, take it for granted
that he has been woefully mistreated
by the instructors and the board of
appeal. But a closer investigation
will show them that such matters
are absolutely without personal leel
Ing. The student comes to the Uni
versity, chooses a course for which
he has had no preparation and in
which work he shows absolutely no
talent, and when he flunks out in his
work he must leave school. The Uni
versity has not time and space to
devote to the sluffer, the fiunker, the
subnormal and the other impossibles.
The student who comes with a goodly
supply of money and takes up too
much of his time with social affairs is
not likely to make the grade, as it
were, and when he is found to be
making little or no effort to get his
Vork the natural consequence is the
culmination of his existence as a stu
dent. Too much fun is worse than
not enough when It comes to student
life and the more time spent on
studies, with only the necessary
amount of recreation thrown in, will
prevent flunks, conditions, and return
trips to the home town where the
making of explanations is not the
most pleasant thing in the world.
This semester is nearin? the finish.
A word to the wise is sufficient and
investigation of class standing might
not be out of order at this time. I
KEEPING THE BARGAIN.

tions arfe losing their enthusiasm over

THE PASSING OF GIPP.
Nebraska students and fac ty i tern
bej'8 pAtend their condolences to W'
tre D-'ini. and to the parents of George
Gipp in their pecent. bereavement
Gipp, who was conceded to bo the
best backficld man In college football
during the past season was a fighttn
to the finish. Ho battled with death
for weeks and time and again foght
his way from the very precipice to
a condition Hearing Rafety. Hut In
the long run he lost. Gipp wan one
of the most wonderful football nun
that ever appeared on a college team.
His drive, his kicking, his speed, his
accuracy and his ever lasting spirit
of battle won for him an undisputed
position on a number ot all Ameri
can teams. He cannot enjoy hit;
laurels, but he leaves friends to mourn
him who will never forget that he
was a fighter, an athlete and above
til a ' real man.
VACATION PLUS
Some students have the habit of
taMng as ncutloii the time scheduled
plus a few more days. They go home
a day or two before vacation begins
and return to school two or three
days after .vacation closes. There
is no excuse for such a habit. Stu
dents who live a long distance from
Lincoln and have to spmd a consid
erable part of their vacation on the
train going home and returning to
school must plan to bo at home a
short c time than those who live near
Lincoln. School is business an.?
ihould come before recreation. How
ever, students living near Lincoln are
as prone to the long vacation habit
as those living faithor away.
The school days imnudiately pre
culin;; and immediately following va
cation are as valuable as any others.
