Z. O. asks five students picked at
random a question every day.
After today the names and ad
dresses of these students will be pub

queries.
Today's question: Glad to get back
after vacation?
Student 1 Should say not I'm as
blue and low as they make 'em.
Never thought I liked the home town
?o much. ,
Student 2 Don't ask me! I'm so
homesick I don't know what to do.
My trunk isn't even here yet and I've
'ost the check. I know I'll never get
nto the run of things again.

of the new faculty ruling in regard '
to dance halls which do not conn
down to the prices agreed upon by
the fraternities and sororities at their
meeting shortly before vacation. A
number of outsiders have commented
upon the spirit of sticking together
shown by the students in refraining
from attending dances at these halls.
It may be said to the credit of tne
organizations that are holding their
members to the agreement that they
are showing some spirit of organiza

combined fraternities and sororities
may be a small matter or it may be
a matter of some consequence but
whichever it may be the manner
which the students a?t. whether the
hold together or disintegrate, will hav
its bearing on future problems. Th
organization may make itself an ef
fective one and wield an appreciable
influence or it may become a joke
and future efforts lo combine will be
failures from the moment the idea
of organizing for any pupose is con
ceived. The entire power of the stu
dent body is in organization and an
organization must have some common
definite purpose to become a suc
cess. Another phase of the question
might be mentioned also. The power
to last, the endurance and longwind
edness of the organization is the test
of its strength. One dance may be a
comparatively easy thing to miss but
students who have the welfare of
themselves, the school and the future
of the organization of students at the
University at heart will make this
organization a permanent and a pow
erful combination.
THE CYNIC.
is
The cynic, it is to be regretted
occasionally found in almost every in
stitution of higher learning. Perhaps
it is the natural qualities of certain
persons that make them react in this
way to the influence of an institution
supposed to educate them for success
ful places in the world. Students who
are developing into cynics will never
attain the greatest success possible
for them unless they overcome their
cynical tendencies at once. The cynic
does not sympathize with humanity
and does not have the sympathy of
humanity. It is the person who
plunges whole-heartedly into life that
is needed.
LEGISLATURE IN SESSION.
A fciennial event, or rather series of
events, of importance to all Nc-braska
citizens will be in progress the next
three months the session of the state
legislature. Many of the provisions
that the legislative body will pass
upon will directly affect University
students. Upon its decision depends
the fate of the University building
project In the near future. A number
of other provisions vitally affecting
the University will probably be con
sidered. All actions of the legislature
should be of more or less interest to
students whether they affect them
directly or noL
Many students will be glad of the
opportunity to visit the legislature and
see how it works. Some can get ac
quainted with legislators and through
ihem gain a better knowledge of the
problems of the state.
A small boy was much impressed
by the yelling at a football game
which be attended. When he sail
his prayers that night, he conclude!
as follows:
"God bless ma!
God bless pa!
Rah, rah, rah!" Ex.
iout there in that little burg in the
sandhills. Only a funeral would draw
me back there; but I hope there'll
be no funerals because the town's
composed entirely of my relatives.
... Student A Yes, I'm mighty glad to
get back. It seems so good. I feel
!ike working again. But it seems to
me I just can't do as much as I was
doing before vacation. I've been play
ing around too long.
Student 51 never nad any more
v-nntr hnvr in ret rid of it but I can't
study; it's an impossibility. Yes
I'm glad to get back and see every
hodv again. Aren't you?
Today's question: What is your
favorite girl's name?
Student 1 Sallie. it is such a care
free name.
Student 2 Violet full of fragrance
and sweetness.
Student 3 Marian, because that's
what I'd like to be doin'.
Student 4 Hazel, because it sug
gests a nut
Student 5 Virginia, because it's a
good state to be in.
Awgwan Editor Wants
"Copy for "Wit" Issue ,
Finest Comedy Stuff
The "college whs" contest number
of Judge is to be published in an early
March number and the editors of "The
Happy Medium" are anxious that
" A ur crura n" submit all copy to their
offices not later than February 1.
Last year "Awgwan" maintained its
reputation as a dispenser of wit by
winning two prizes in this contest aud
it u the fondest hone of the editor
and staff to carry off higher honors
In the contest this year. Last year,
contributions to the material sub
mitted by "Awgwan" were above ex
pectations and it is a safe bet that
contributions for this year's contest
will be even larger. But a little re-
! minder is a matter of no offense, and
so all wits and near-wits who have
ambition to see the University of Ne
braska made prominent through the
pages of this contest number of Judge,
hand or mail all copy (cartoons,
paintings, stories, poems, anything or
a humorous nature), to "The Awgwan."
Station A, and not later than the
22nd of January.
Another reminder. In a recent
issue of The Daily Nebraskan, it was
announced that "Awgwan" had been
honored by The Independent and
given the honor, with "Punch Bowl."
"Phonarrai" anil "Widow." of con
tributing to a feature number of The
Independent which is to contain a
page each of these four comics. It
would be a great disappointment if
the "Awgwan" could not contribute a
boomer page of them all. but, to date
very little copy is on hand. The staff
-an put together sufficient material to
fill a page but the contributions are
not limited to the staff. The contest
;s open to all University students.
But all ccpy murt be in by the 12th
of this month. What say?
ANOTHER YEAR.
The New Year comes in with heart
full of glee.
With laughter and light-tripping feet.
No sorrow or pain from the year that
is past.
Can dim the Joy for that new year
we meet.
The New Year's a hope and auif.her
chance
To do those things we've left undone.
It's a time of grace, to begin thos?
tasks
That we should have, but never begun.
Oh!
there's hundreds of smiles that
we should have smiled.
And there was heaps of work for the
worker, f
But there still is time to do that work,
And maybe there's time to smile those
smiles.
For life gives us chance after chance
to win.
But it can't keep on giving forever.
