OND SEMESTER PLATFORM
1. Clean politics In competitive
campus affairs.
2. More paid readers on the
campus.
3. A wider scope of news.
4. Realization of the new gym
nasium and stadium.
5. Lower prices to University
students.
6. Each student an "unofficial"
staff member of the Daily Ne
braskan. INSTRUMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE
The "Rag"' in reality is an Instru
ment of public service. It can give
no greater service than those Who are
responsible for its existence permit.
To a degree ever student and faculty
member is responsible for its exist
ence and upon their shoulders the
fate of the paper is placed. Those
who are doing the actual work of pub
lishing the paper are performing their
end of the bargain. It is up to every
one to subscribe and do it now. A
student who refuses to subscribe mere
ly because he has an opportunity to
read a copy over a friend's shoulder is
as selfish and cheap and has no more
of a sense of loyalty than the fellow
who fails to pay his organization dues
because he can get by with it. A pa
I er's value as an advertising medium
depends upon its circulation. The
value and scope of its services de
ltud upon its circulation. See a

LACK OF INTEREST IN ACTIVITIES
Although the Managing Editor of the
Daily Ntbraskan issued the clarion
call for reporters both Monday and
Tuesday in the columns of the daily,
only four students have applied for
staff positions. Does this show lack
of interest on the part of the studi-nts
in campus activities? Work on a col
lope publication is considered a school
activity. More acquaintances are
made by a student in one year through
work on the Daily Nebraskan than he
can make in three years of colh-ge
work without entering one student ac
tivity. Fraternities, sororities, and all other
campus organizations, especially liter
ary societies, should select some mem
ber of their own group, to represent
t'jpm on college publications. There
are always several members of each
organization who have journalistic
ability.
The Daily Nebraskan offers no par
ticular mercernary inducements to re
porters. They are paid only a small
sum for their services. It is the
friendships made, the good times in
the "Rag' office and the participation
in the "Ragger," scandal sheet of the
Daily Nebraskan, that makes life on a
college daily attractive. Besides
these benefits to the students them
selves, the organization which they
represent receives credit for partici
pating in college activities.
There are still several departments
open for industrious reporters on the
"Rag." Apply to the Managing Edi
tor today from 3 until 6 p. m., in Room
208, University Hall.

AND THEY SAY WORLD IS NOT
GROWING BETTERI
When you think that this advertise'
nient wna published only sixty-three
years ago, this evidence is food for
thought for skeptics who believe that
the world is growing worse. George
J. Craln of Springfield, Mo recently
sent The Richmond Mercury a copy
f a letter giving the market price of
slaves in Richmond, Va., in 1857.
From $1,450 to $1,550 was offered for
"No. 1 men, extra." "No. 1 women,
extra, from 16 to 22," sold at from
$1,200 to $1,250. More than five hun
dred dollars was considered a fair
price for "No. 1 boys, four feet high."
Boys over five feet were worth from
M.200 to $1,250. The price of girls
tanged from $300 for those four feet
high to $1,075 for those who were
lucky enough to measure five feet.
The D. M. Pullman company, which
made the offers, announced that
"families and scrubs sell in their
usual proportion to above quotations.
;vp would be pleased to see you
down soon with a likely lot."

A TONIC FOR SLEEPING
SICKNESS.
The University of Nebraska is
one of the mightiest state institutions
in the nation. We do not realize
that it houses a city of farming stu
dents the size of Fairbury within its
gates and serves each day in its
cafeteria more people than are em
it yd in the largest manufacturing
!ant in Lincoln. We do not stop to
think that those comprising the in
structional force would make a small
settlement of their own.
What is the fuel needed to lun this
manufacturing plant of education?
ii ncy, well-oiled machinery and
co-operation are essential. Such an
nstitution as this cannot exist, how
ever, without a patriotism and loyalty
' each student. This is the tonic
that must be applied to cure the
deeping sickness which may fall upon
an institution which perhaps is effi
cient, well-oiled and otherwise "hit
'ins on all cylinders." It is your
'uty as a Cornhusker whether you
t-p an alumnus or a student, to sing
he praises of your Alma Mater.
Think, live and breathe Nebraska!

ODE TO THE LAWS.
I wish to propound the the crowd
around
This riddle so rare, your minds to en
snare. lie smokes a big pipe. He knows he's
all right.
lie talks about wrongs and sings those
bad songs.
This fellow can swear and do his full
share
Of lawlessness bad. Some say he's a
cad.
His one Golden Rule is to smoke up
at school
And he gives not a damn if you call
him a sham.
His head is aflame at each football
game
And the Academy hates him and often
berates him.
His big leather case and his jovial
face
Are envied by all, the short and the
tall.
He's got lots of pep, but he's got a
bad rep!
School spirit he's got a hell of a lot
And he's not loved, I fear, by a dent
or engineer.
Best man you ever saw. This man
is a Law. Doc True.

About This Time.
Must we take up again that seeming
ceaseless quest
For knowledge learned of books, that
never ending jest
Against our intellects, for all that we
consume is but a mite
Compared to that vast store that
stretches ever from our sight?
But yes, we must, even though 'tis
winter now,
The sweet warm breeze of spring has
touched our brows.
And with its touch that restless fever
comes again,
That longing to be moving on tho
plain,
To seek again that silver thread of
life
That seems so deeply hidden by rou
tine and by strife.
And let those world-wise folks say
what they may
About this old world getting bad and
more bad still,
We'll know that many mis-slips day
by day,
Are caused by siren Spring-time, sing
ing on the hill.
Muriel Streight, '24, has been called
to her home in Plattsmouth because of
the illness of her mother. She will
not return to school this semester.
Gwendolyn Dammerell, '24, spent
the week-end at her home in Hastings.

Cross the library table you sit
While I selfishly wish you weren't
there;
For my glance Just can't help but flit
To the thrall of your eyes and your
hair.
Though I'm glad for my sake that we
haven't yet Met.
There is mystery deep in your eyes
That sometimes seem to rest upon
me
Though I'd have to be ever so wise
To know what they really do see-
On your cheeks the shade of most won
derful rose Shows.
No, as long as you stay there I'm lost.
I can only sit idle and wonder
How your eyes ever got so far crossed,
And whit ripped your coiffure all
asunder
An dif thero's one spot on your face
where the paint Ain't!
