POCKET BOOKS VS. EFFICIENCY
At almost every university espe
cially public schools the directors are
up against a problem of sacrificing the
efficiency of their school rather than
meet the expenses of p'aintaining the
best.
The University of Nebraska is not
exempt from this tendency. Profes
sors here are not receiving what they
are earning. In almost any venture,
they could make more material gain
than at teaching.
And each year, more and more pro
lessors ' and teachers l-ave the pro
fession for more highly paid busi
nesses. They cannot live on their Ut
lie mite nnd must seek other means
than teaching to make both ends
meet.
People of Nebraska are not strongly
in favor of higher salaries for their
university professors. They would
rather sacrifice efficiency than dig a
little into their pocket books.
Rut every tune a leaumg professor
of the university is called to another
school, students are being deprived
of part of their chance for the future.
Their efficiency after college depends
much on their training in college. If
less learned men are to teach them,
they will be seriously affected.
All because of the almighty dollar.
People of Nebraska should be edu
cated to the value of their university.
7'iey should be educated to the fur
wier value of having one of the best
schools in the country.
Never will Nebraska be able to stay
among the leaders unless it is able
to maintain a most efficient teaching
staff. This can he accomplished only
by paying more nearlv the salaries
that the professors are worth.
People should be educated to that
fact and then they sho-ili', act on their
education.
"CUT AND D F.I ED"
The old order of a "cut and dried"
program for the freshman entering
the university this fall reems due for
a hard tumble when the Iron Sphinx
put across their plan for a welcome
week for the new students.
Every fall, some thousand men enter
the university for the first time.
They know no one. They are lost. A
welcome week such as the Sphinx
i.lan, if it is arranged for the first
week or two of school, will do more
to help make the new students feel at
home than anything ever held.
It is to be hoped that the members
of Iron Sphinx will foreet "dates" for
a while at least that week and will
enter into the spirit ot the event
wholeheartedly. The plan for a box
luncheon at the campus Is excellent
but it cannot be successful unless
every Sphinx shows up for the pro
gram. Upper classmen "know the ropes"
about the university. It Is almost im
possible to get them interested In a
)lan such as the Iron Sphinx one.
But the sophomores and freshmen are
yet getting acquainted, it is ror mem
to plan things out of the old cue
and. dried" program. Not only to
plan them but to executo those plans.
INFORMING THE STATE
Informing the state of Nebraska of
the true facta at their university is
one of the hardest jobs confronting
the administration. Several times
each year, untrue and uncomplimen
tary stories of student life are spread
far and wide, over the state and out
of it.
What plan could best be followed to
minimize this menace is a gamble.
The formation of the Ambassadors
club last spring was a welcome and
forward step. But its efficiency is
oubtfu . Placing of the responsibil
ity into the hands of several hundred
aves much room for error and slip
ped up work.
The Ambassadors' club might han
dle the publicity In good shape. But
a better plan seems to be for the
university to publish a weekly bulle
tin, a weekly scandal theft. This
bulletin should tell In short concise
from what Is happening at the uni
versity, should have a place for all
new experiments beiiu; tried which
will benefit people of the state, and
should tell of the activities of the stu
dents from all the different towns.
Every time "Tom Jones of H'ckville"
does something, the news of his acti
vity should be placed in a column
"What Students Do." Then the lo
cal papers could easily keep in touch
with those whom they are Interested.
And right on the same sheets of pa
per they would be able to read of
what the rest of the university is do
ing. - Steps toward the formation of a
more complete publicity department
should be started soon. The depart
ment now accomodates but a few pa
pers. The weekly bulletin of the ex
tension department is too small to
handle the work.
A publicity bulletin should be pub
lished. The sooner it is started the
better.
SUCH IS LIFE
A small boy came rushing down the
sidewalk cn University avenue yester
day on his shiny, new bicycle. "Git
out of the way!" he shouted. And
everyone in striking distance "got."
Thus It is with childhood. Thus it
In with maturity. Most persons have
their pet "bicycles" on which they
expect to ride through life ,and be
cause it Is their "bicycle," the world
must forbear, tolerate, and approve.
Many people think time they are en
titled to special privileges simply be
cause they are what they are. Women
ask clerks in dry goods stores to pull
down bolt after bolt of material. And,
upon being asked tp purchase, they
reply, In a bored fashion, "Oh, no, I
don't care to buy. I'm waiting for Mrs.
Jones." Others stop the postman on
his route, little concerned about the
amount of time they cause him to
lose. Still others ask to have 15-cent
packages delivered. Only a few days
ago, a man elbowed lib way to the
ticket window of a local theatre, re
fuisng to wait his turn in line.
There is nothing human beings en
joy more than imagining themselves
superior to the "average man," and,
therefore, entitled to special privileges
Yet Abraham Lincoln proved that the
best that one lias is nohe too good
for the millions. The Idea that one
is a pet product of nature is a crutch
which each Individual uses to bolnter
up his egotism.
But sooner or later each person
must climb down from his "bicycle."
Even the best makes are subject to
puncture. Columbia Evening Mis

A Thmught tor Tmday
TODAY
Sure this world is full of trouble,
I ain't said It ain't.
Lord! I've had enough and double
Reason for complaint.
Rain and storm have come to fret
nie,
Skies were often Eay;
Thorns and rambles have beset me
On the road but say
Ain't it fine today.
What's the use of always weeplu
Makin' trouble last,
What's the use of always keepin'
Thinkin' of the past?
Each must have his tribulation,
Water with his wico.
Life, it ain't no celebration,
Trouble? I've had mine,
But today Is fine!
It's today that I am livln'
Not a month ago.
Havln', losin', takin', givln'.
As time wills it so.
Yesterdays cloud o f sorrow
Fell across the way;
It may rain again tomorrow, y
It may rain but say,
Ain't it line today.
