comparison of the flapper to
month of March is clever and timely
Get your copy of the Flapper Num
ber and read it from beginning io
end. 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. The
worVl i? gradually beginning to Lhink

Y .M. C. 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.

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.
