You are all fina boys and I am mighty proud of the way you have all worked together and fought for the grand old scarhit and cream. I look for a team that can't be beat next year and will be on the job to do my part." on the larger book that have been (Lincolnshire, written of the doedB of ones life. A Commercial duplicate of ones school career will be noted In It, and though It may be it minor part, succeeding deeds will have been Influenced by It. Whether or not we may have white leaf to our credit depends upon our individual conduct; our conduct depends upon our knowledge or right and wrong and upon our ability to direct ourselves along that which we know to be right. Surely education then will be one of our chief trainers and advisors. A blotted page Is truly a sad thing to behold. It la doubly sad for It is Indellhlv written and cannot bo erased. However the Intensity and the frequency of the blots is the factor that determines the value or the lack of value of th page. Each of us Is our own architect, our own printer, and our own engraver.

Already student opinions are pour ing into the Daily Nebraskan office in reply to the editorial which quoted a letter written in protest to the pro test to the statement that there was true democracy at Nebraska. Today and for several days to come tho best of these letters will be published for the thoughtful consideration of Nebraska's student body. There is no question but that the condition brought out so well yester day in the student opinion exists to a certain extent. Many times in the past and at the present time criticism has been given of the snobbish feel ing existing here at Nebraska, and prospective students who would make fine Cornhuskers are going to other schools rather than to Nebraska for just that reason. What are the fundamental causes for such a condition existing at Ne braska? It is nothing new, for ever since the founding of our mighty school, one claas or another has been looked upon as grasping and too dom inant. "In the first, few years of our history, the literary societies picked only a few members each year and did what it is said the fraternities do at Nebraska today and were critized for it. Is it ignorant selfish youth that i'i the cause of this condition? Is it org anization, against no organization, that does this? Is I lie housing ami and boarding system wrong here at Nebraska? Is our school becoming too large and should there be a restriction placed upon those attending? Possibly the charges made are not as true as they might be. Maybe the workers of today really do love their school? Maybe they are working for it because they love the scarlet and cream and not because they want to take some position that means a great deal of work, from some one who could do it just as well, perhaps, but who has not made the attempt to get It The Daily Nebraskan welcomes opin-' ions of all those interested in this question. Prom day to day this ques tion will be discussed from different angles and along with this discussion the paper will publish letters both pro and con. Life A Piece of Paper. "Life ia a eheet of paper white, Upon which each of us may write A line or two, and then comes night." T Je is truly a leaf of paper, one of the countless leaves in the book of life. The book is an open record whosa many pages are free to be scanned by the eager eyes of the world. Any sincere and responsible person enjoys reviewing the page in ue record book that tells the etory of hla school ca reer. But consider the countless prints STUDENT OPINION Editor Daily Nebraskan: May I add a word to the discussion ever "democracy" at Nebraska, which seems to be largely the old borh Greek fight embers, smoldering still? I would like to Include especially the men's honorary societies in the di? cussion, though this is not the first article of this sort appearing on the campus, nor will it, probably, be the la3t, for human nature was ever thus. That the fraternity man has' a great er opportunity to get into student ac tivities cannot be denied, since they are pushed by (heir fraternity brotlKi' upper-classmen The barb has no oiu to start him, usually, and, unless helped, will not start, to the detri nient of the school activities and of those already engaged in work of this sort. The. barb will always envy, in a de gree varying with the individual, the social times a man in an organization has. But the Greeks have no right to go further and take advantage of the barbs lack of organization and run the school activities without consult ing the barbs who outnumber the frat men by a ratio of 3 to 1 and then expect everything to go smooth ly, the barbs submitting docilely to Hie decisions of committees made up of frat men only: and such are ttn men's honorary societies, and usually. cla3s committees. The girl's societies include fin lit erary societies among their represent ed organizations; occasionally an In nocent is a barb, and often a Motar board. But the men's three under class organizations are still "inter fraternity class honorary" and not "class honorary." For what reasons do these organizations, otherwise, claim that no barb is ever worthy hon orary ranking? Either the barb shon!d be represented or these organizations admit themselves to be a one-horse team as far as 'honor' is concerned. Representation of the lits, as in tie girls societies, and kindred barb org anizations cannot harm the groups al ready existing, and will bring thorn into contact with a larger proportion of the campus, bring more men ii'io school activities, and relieve one of the chief causes of irritation between barbs' and 'Greeks.'

Chemistry Chairman Discusses New Field of Chemical Engineering. Doctor Upson, chairman of the de partment of chemistry, spoke before the freshmen engineers Monday eve ning on the field of the chemical en gineer. Chemical engineering is the newest branch of engineering and is last becoming one of the most import ant. Doctor Upson compared the chem ical industry before the war, tho great impetus given by the war, and its present status. Before the world wax the chemical industries were largeiy continued to the inorganic field and here they were well developed but tho organic lield was in a state ol experiment in most countries. Two (.'In hiiial industries were well de veloped, namely tiie sulphuric acm and the caustic alkalis and these were ery iinpurtunt as these materials with their products play a very im portant part in our modern indus trial life. In the organic field there were only two important chemical industries, the manufacture of alcohol und the refinery of petroleum. On the outbreak of the war, 90 pei cent of the world's supply of djes was controlled by Germany and they hati patents on r.ll the better method.-' then known fur their product lcn. Tut textile industry was entirely depend ent upon tiiese supplies for the dyes and thus the war dealt a serious blow to this industry and we were almost forced to wear white clothes. The dye industry is also closely al lied to the explosive industry and a dye works can easily be changed so as to produce explosives or vico verm. The same raw materials are used and in many cases the by-products from the dye industry are used in the making (,f explosives. This is one reason why Germany was so well supplied with explosives on the out break of the war while England was not. Soon after the outbreak of the wnr chemical experts went to work to per fecting plans for the preparation and making of dyes in this country and they were so successful that we now have a drug and dye industry winch is equal to that of Germany but due to the large quanltlty that the Ger man had on hand at cessation of hos tilities the price at which they are capable of selling them is far below that possible to produce them in this country and thus the government should put an embargo on drugs and dyes for five years, as England and France have done, to protect the in fant industries in this line. Doctor Upson also read an article from the Blue Print which ho wrote some time ago, defining the duties and qualifications of the chemical engineer. CALIFORNIA ADOPTS "NEWS OF THE DAY" BERKELEY, Calif., Nov. 30.
