It is a dandy. It carries a b'g kick. We are reprinting here Old Man Awgwan's editorial, "Speaking cf Flappers." We agree heart and soul with it in every detail. Don't you? Here it is: Speaking of Flappers Where the name Flapper originated is a matter of conjecture. Possibly the name came from the uncouth gal osh and its activities during a stroll or agian possibly it is from the gen eral maxillar activity attributrd to the sex to which the name has been applied. Be that as it may the co-ed of today is a Flapper. Pretty name isn't it girls? We like it, NOT. Think it's nice, Want to keep it? If you do, just keep up the line that has been gradually growing worse each year until co-ed became to demure an appelation for the college girl. Galoshes, rolled hose, cigarets, gen eral feminine attire, and the indiffer ence of college girls has at last thrown this name upon them as a curse. The press of the naticn is, today, engaged in trying to define, describe and explain the Flapper. Those descriptions are anything but complimentary. What are you going to do, girls? The general impression given by the name Flapper and the definition usually promulgated by the person who attempts to enlight'-n the world on the meaning of the Hnppcr gives an impression that college girls are s!iaply, z blue eyed babies, brain loss to the Nth power, indifferent, cigaret smoking creatures who make pour couch covers at the best.

A. IS REQUESTED FOR COPIES OF "N" BOOK TO BE USED AS MODEL talned. Dark hits have been made that the engineers were fashioning monstrous animals in their laboratories, with which they were going to invade the Law College and put the followers of Blackstono to flight and while this was not denied neither was it con firmed. Without doubt the celebration is going to be of such splendor and mag nification that the engineers are loath to impart to a more journalist what theri plans are going to be, but from our past experience we know that when the engineers set out to do a thing and are as secretive as this it must be very pood indeed. Let us wait with patience until April 27th, and then our highest ex pectations will be realized. Bill Day, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. has recentfy received letters from several different colleges requesting him to send them copies of the 1921-22 N book to be used as models for like books in their re spective schools. This shows that old N. U. is well known over the oountry and that she is looked up to as a leadfti. As you know, these handbooks are edited by the University Y. M. C. A. and these letters are proof of its effiff cient work. In view of the much talke of theme of "selling the univers ity", can you ask for a better means of publicity. In addition to and of greater importance than this good re putation this organization is giving to the University it is doing a com mendable work on the campus such as working with the foreign students and giving free employment bureau service. Therefore it is obvious that every loyal Cornhusker should be an enthusiastic supporter of the Uni. Y. M. C. A. FRED H. RINGE TALKS ON HUMAN ENGINEERING (Continued from Page One.) By diagram, Mr. Ringe showed how there were five requisites for success- fa lindustrial growth. They all begin with the letter M and are as follows. Money, Materials, Machinery, Merch andizing, and Men. The chief diffi culty with so many of the European countries at the present time is that thev lack one or more of these factors. The. success of industry was also shown to depend upon five factors as shown by chart beginning with the letter C, Commerce, Capital, Credit, Confidence, and Character. The last items in these two lists are sometimes considered the most important. By many employers, the haraoter of an employee carries much more weight than the Technique. As stated before 1he engineer serves as an intermediary Between capital and labor and Mr. Ringe stated that he labor situation could be much more easily solved if they worked face o face instead of back to back as hey so often do. The turnover of ibor, which is due in a great meas ure to misunderstandings, may rve greatly decreased by this method, and when a person understands that from one hundred million to one billion dollars are lost annually in the United States from this cause alone he will understand the importance of the question. All this is within the scope of the engineer's work. Definition of an Engineer The definition of an engineer was given as follows: Engineering is the art of organiz ing men and utilizing tne materials and forces of nature for the benefit of the human raco. The Engineer often serves t nthe ca pacify of a manager and the duty of a manager is to make men as well as profits. Welfare work Is a term which has often been misused but when it is understood and the correct methods applied the results are very bene ficial'. The more democratic the meth ods the better the results The best progress made along this lino recently is industrial representation. The more authority and control given to the workers the more conservative they have been found to become. The gov ernment of the industry is often pat terned after our national government with a house and senate and they make the regulations for the wirking conditions. College men should and are prepar ing themselves for the proper carry ing on of this work. The engineering curriculum in many colleges are in cluding courses for individual study. Sherwood Eddy in his recent talks here mentioned several works and Mr Ringe gave a short list of article which had appeared recently in some technical magazines. Personal Touch Needed The engineer needs the personal touch of feeling to be truly successful. This might be learned on the campus but it is invaluable and if it could be O'carned here the graduate would lie that much better off. The engin eers have here in conjunction with the Y. M. C. A. a chance to teach Ameri canization and many other subjects to the workers who are here in Lin coln, and thus not only be a service to the workers but also a distinct ad vantage to the student. If an egin eer ennot handle five men in a study group like this he will not be able to handle a piece of engineering work when he graduates. Working me nshould swear with and uot at their employer and they will do so if the man under whom they are working is thought to have an interest in their well being and not treat them as a piece of machinery, to be dis carded when useless. At the cTose of the talk Mr. Ringe presented all with some copies of short, poems which presented very ividly the attitude working man akes to the right kind of an employer or foreman. STUDENTS desiring work next week should see Mr. Gilbert 12 to S p.m. this week at the Grand Hotel.

VACATION All thought.-; el tonks and classos, instructors iirirt r summations, are tossed to the four winds tomorrow spring vacation begins. For one week school will be forgotten. All students will concentrate on eating, sleeping, and Paving a good time except those foolish lirg'ns who have not taken advantage of the past nine weeka and are not rady for the joys of vaca tion. They must use the recess per iod to do what they should have done before. Many of us are going home. "Ve haven't been there since Christmas and it will be great to soe the folks tgain and yush our feet under the family table loaded with our favorite dishes. And alter the w-eek of vacation is ended, we are coming back and hit the old stride with renewed vigor and push through to a Garrison finish next June, Have a good time, everybody. PROF.
