OWNING THE VALLEY
Tho institutions of learning which i
are located in tlio Missouri Valley re
gion and members ei the Missouri
Valley (.'onleienee liavo no doubt read
with amusement llio slogan now echo
ing out from ..Mount Oread, tlie homo
of the Jayhawk. We refer to that
interesting declaration, "We own the
Valley." Until we lTist saw this
statement we were not aware that the
Valley had any particular owner, that
it was property, or capable of being
owned. We had always looked upon
it as a good place to live and a con
ference composed of nine excellent,
growing universities.
But wo are forced 10 admit our er
ror. A formidable array of cham
pionships annexed by the Kansas in
stitution, with those held by other
schools discreetly omitted, affords
the proof of ownership. Were we
statistically inclined, we might go
into detail regarding the number of
championships and titles won by No
braska in the past tmt.v year. Per
haps we might be able to establish
as good a claim to the Valley as our
sister state. No doubt Missouri, or
Ames, of Oklahoma, could do like
wist. You have all heard the old storj
of the man who took In too much ter
ritory. This is surely a parallell case.
Our Jayhawk brethren evidently ov
erlooked the fact that there arc other
states bordering their own common
wealth and that there are bigger riv
ers than the Kaw.
Dut if the Jayhawkers get any kick
out of a slogan of this kind, far be
it from us to complain. We are very
happy here by ourselves and manage
to win a football game now and then.
We only hope that our school spirit,
if that it be, never becomes so in
flated tl.at we give vent to any such
spurious statement as, "We own the
Valley."
NEBRASKAN fco wrinkled with ng yot who
prances around in bobbed lialr anil an
brevlatod Hkirts, kittenish, one admits
but uiso both-eaten by tho years; or
the uiQ with a sagging skirt und run
down hools, or tho ono with no neck
tie and dust on his coat collar, or
tho ono with locks fulling around his
fuco in lank strings, whoso hat sits
on hla head like tho lid on a sugar
bowl, and who 'carries his books In
a Khoe-BtrliiK shopping bag? Ah, their
minds aro on higher things! They
liavo no need of hair brush or shoe
polish, for they are meditating upon
tho better part of life. They aro of
the kind who can seo beauty In all
phases of nature, even in tho mud
and scum of things, ns it were. I'n-
icitunntcly, all of their associates are
not ho constituted, and they turn away
with grins from these strange folk,
who may bo brilliant, but who are
freaks.
Naturo is not responsible for freaks;
tho freak is a self-mailo creature, lie,
or she, is so immune to the opinions
of others that he, or she, can stroll
down the elito board walk promenade
from the University I luii to the Audi
torlum, unswept, uiilauiidcied, and un
hung, and yot perfectly oblivious of
tho caustic comment which he, or she,
excites. This Is tho way to show
ones genius: Convention ; nai
does lie care for that? Leave conven
tion to the mod lori es.
One observes, however, that all gen
iuses are not freaks, and that lloiic-
mianism Is rather going out; the gog-
le-eyed, tho beery, and tho long haired
liavo given way to a more aitistic
form of genius, one more pleasant to
look upon. Geniuses freipiently go in
sane, but not all of them are men
tally unbalanced; the less a freak a
genius is, tho more he is a genius.

A baker's dozen of the members of
tho University I'nion planned to have
steak roast last Thursday, flnce
they were unable to Indulge other
wise.' Tho weather man failed them,
so they turned the steak roast in"o
an indoor picnic. Near tho end it
was discovered mai some poiuio
hips, and far too much sandwich
lilling had been left untouched. So
the four girls formed an offensive al
liance, and took each of tho stronger
sex in turn, sat. upon him, and forced
tho proper fraction of tho remaining
edibles upon him."

NOT MANY TRY FOR
PRIZE IN CONTEST
Competition in tho manufacturers'
contest announced recently in the
Daily Nebraskan has not yet devel
oped large proportions, as is shown
by tho fact that only about half a
dozen students have applied to Pro
fessor DeBaufre, chairman of tho Me
chanlcal Engineering Department,
who is running the contest- Because
so few have entered the race, they
will have things about their own way
in tho running, so that perhaps the
big chances at a twenty-five dollaT
prize will induce others to try out.
The rules and suggestions governing
tho contest are as follows:
Three prizes of twenty-five, fifteen
and ten dollars respectively, are of
fered by a Nebraska manufacturer
for tho best suggestions for a new
product to manufacture. The award
will bo made by a committee consist
ing of Prof. DeBaufre, Chairman of
the Mechanical Engineering Depart
ment, Mr. Zumwlnkle, Commissioner
of tho Nebraska Manufacturers' As
sociation, and a representative of the
manufacturer. The above prizes will
be awarded whether the suggestion is
adopted by the manufacturer or not.
If the suggestion is a valuable one
and adopted, additional compensation
to be determined by the above named
committee, will bo awarded to the
originator of tho suggestion.
All students now registerod in tho
University of Nebraska are eligible
to enter the competition under tho
following conditions:
(a) The suggestions must bo turned
in to Prof. DeBaufre, M. E. 203, be
fore May 1st, 1922.
(b) The suggestions must bo in the
form of a description of the proposed
irticle to be manufactured, written
on one side of 81 by 11 inch paper.
All papers should be securely fas
tened together and to a sealed blank
envelope containing the name of the
student submitting the suggestion.
These papers and envelope, holding
the name of the student, are all to be
