NARROW-MINDEDNESS.
What is narrow-mindedness? It i?
doubtful if those who really have this
malady knew that they have it. Usual
ly it is directly otherwise. These
narrow-minded persons imagine that
they are to be numbered among the
broadest thinkers on the campus.
One point of view is all that such
persons can see. Their mind, which
may be highly developed along a par
ticular line, functions in one groove

IF
That familiar poem, "If," by Kip
ling, of such simple yet such signifi
cant lines, has come almost to equal
Shakespeare in familiarity, from be
ing so quotable. The entire poem,
from "If you can keep your head when
all about you are losing theirs and
blaming it on you." to the parting
promise that "you'll be a man, my
son," is a chant of hope to the youth,
a spur to one in' middle age, and a
searching test of. the success or fail
ure of a man 'who has ended his life's
work.
On that one little word "if" hangs
all the difference between possibility
and fact, between failure and achieve
ment, the hoper and the doer. It is
about as small as any word in the
English language, but many a man of
balked ambition or blasted hope will
testify to the mightiness of even two
letters when properly arranged.

It is a wonderful thing to have i

friend there is always a need to exer-
cise care in addition to the odrinary j
caution required to hold his friend

do things for him which appear to the
world unjust and antisocial. There is
such a thing as being too good to an
other man of aiding him to the actual
harm of others.

Alumni Day Luncheon.
Alumni and members of the faculty
may secure tickets for the Alumni day
luncheon to be held Saturday, June
4, at the University Farm at the
Alumni office.
As students, we should train our
selves to develop more than one point
of view. Why should we be stubborn
when other arguments are presented?
Perhaps they have more merit than
our argument which we cling to with
all the tenacity we can muster.
The student who is narrow-minded
is bound to make a citizen who will
limit the scope of his usefulness of
the community in which he. will live
in years to come. He will make a
narrow-minded tcfrvn composed of narrow-minded
people, if he happens to
become a leader there. The Univer
sity aims to develop young men and
women to make their characters em
body more than one quality cf doubt
ful value.
Diagnose your case, and if you find
that the X-ray treatment reveals the
first stages of a good case of narrow
mindedness, begin applying the neces
sary medicine. Intelligent reading
and conversation is one of the best
antidotes for narrow-mindedness.
to think for himself unimpaired.
Whether it be because of friendship
or what not, there Is always the dan
ger of yielding to another's wishes
against one's better judgment.
We like to believe that if Kipling
had any one man in mind when he
wrote those two lines "if all men
count with you. but none too much"
it was Abraham Lincoln, who gave
ear to all and judged for himself.

WHY NOT A POINT SYSTEM FOR
ACTIVITIES?
A number of schools have tried the
point system for activities and it has
proved highly successful. The W. A.
A. at Nebraska University knows
what the point system means be
cause it has been in use under the
W. A. A. banner for a long time.
The object of the point system
would be to protect men and women
interested in activities from over
burdening themselves to the point of
academic mortality. The point sys
tem would limit the activities of Indi
viduals by attaching a value in points
to the various positions in the under
graduate organizations. This would
prevent one student from monopoliz
ing all the honors of the institution,
so to speak, and would give all an
equal chance to take part in a rea
sonable number of campus activities.
There have always been some stu
dents who are apparently more am
bitious than others. As a consequence
they attain twice as many honors as
another st.dent, who may be just as
capable but who has not the faculty

The following resolutions denounc
ing the Student Life section of the
1P21 Comhusker, which was distri
buted on the campus; Tuesday, were
passed Tuesday evening at a meeting
of Valkvrie. junior-senior society, in
Ellen Smith hall:
"The junior-senior society, Valkyrie, j
believes that the Cornhusker for 1921 !
reflects no credit on students of the j
University of Nebraska but misrepre'
sents their life and their tastes. The
'Student Life' section of the book is
both vulgar and stupid. The Valkyries
feel ashamed of its coarse personali
ties and of its treatment of prominent
and popular students. They believe
that it falls far below the level of the
annuals of other universities or of the
Irish school annuals with which they
are acquainted. It contains nothing
of literary merit, no real humor, and
no clever cartoons. It is to -be hoped
that the present method of choosing
those who control the Cornhusker
will be changed. It is to be hoped
that talent and taste can again find
representation on the editorial boards
and the book again become a book
which students can show unashamed
to relatives and friends."
