Mk-lil Killlur There is a Chinese proverh winch says that a Mingle con versa t ion across the table with a wise man is belter than ton years' mere study of hooks. Hecause the statement is extreme it challenges our Interest. It seems rad leal. et there is truth in this ohl Chinese saying. Students Uho must ;if lu'cessuy give a great deal of time to the study o text-books are prone to o er-em-phasize the value of books. They con centrate upon what is printed in books on a given subject. They think that if they master what the text book contains they know the sub ject. In some cases the attitude seems to be that If one leanns what is in the book there is no necessity to give attention to what is said on a sub ject. Class-room lectures may not always be equal to conversation across a table, but there is much to be gained in the lecture which can not be otherwise secured. books will naturally receive a large amount of attention in college. They have their place. But the value to be derived from them is not the greatest value which comes as a re suit of college training. There are many opportunities for gaining real wisdom through conversation. The University Players will give the opening performance of the sea sou tonight in the Temple Theatre. With three evening performances and a Saturday matinee, opportunity will be given for everyone to see thio student production. The play which the University Players have chosen for their open ing is a marked siage success. The Players are paying high royalties lor the right to produce tins piay. Kecognized college siars nisihe up the cast for '"the Thirteenth Chair." Lincoln s acknowledged ia K of legiU mate productions viil lie mati-i'.aiiy relieved by the activity of me Uni versity Players. 1 he bucket of dope says that Ne braska should carry away honors in her encounter with Oniahomu next Saturday bUi, alas, -the a.oresaiu bucket has received many upsets this season. Anyway down in the oil lields of Oklahoma there may be a surprise awaiting our conquering her oes, who trampled the Sooner in the mud so unmercifully last fall. Xo word has leaked out of the southern camp, the only dope being that the Kansas Aggies played them to a tie last Saturday. The two teams have met but three times, Nebraska winning the first games in 11)12 by a score of it-13. The second game played In 1919 re sulted in a 7-7 tie. The third game game ended with Nebraska on the long end of the 44-0 score. The response of the University fac ulty is an inspiration to all who are interested in Nebraska's Memorial Stadium. With the local start which the stadium campaign has received the alumni Stadium Builders have high records to equal. Begin to save your pennies now. What for? To go to Kansas. No vember 11 is the date. Prepare to take advantage of the one chance offered this year to back the football team on a foreign field. Instances of petty thievery have occurred many times during the year, but nothing was done to reprimand the culprits. Purses, gloves, and books have disappeared mysteriously and although many losses can be at tributed to carelessness on the part of the students, it is definitely known that some of these are plain cases of theft. To be more explicit, valuable philosophy books have been taken from the Philosophy library in the Social Science building, and after the identifying pages were torn out, they were sold at the College Book Store lor a few cents. This Is', not only poor commercial proposition, as i. means the taking of many more dol ars from the tax payers pockets, but .1 also shows us that we have a de spicable) type of p.rson In tho Uni versity. These thievis, for such they are. ja.inot lie apprehended but tho opin .on of the stiulenl body can be so ..i.ei.se Uiat such people cannot re main in the University and continue such practices. Cheating, cribbing, and petty thievery have no place on ji.r campus. So let us ull see to the reporting of guilty persons and strive to conduct ourselves so that we ma) not be detrimental to the morals of tlie University. Campus Comment. Two answers to my article "A I 'lea .n i.soi'gaaiy.alion" (Sig.ied I). T. O.. the Nebraskan, Oct. Hi) call for an iiier i.tale.iiei.l el in position, ami un dialysis of the letters.

Other uilii's. vvliirli claim nothing but ail icinceiuent of certain limited inter ests of their members, and which ask no financial aid, might be criti .!,:t il by those who agree w ith the ,viii !nl principles of my plea. Hut 1 conliue myself to V. S. G. A. and the .'liiversity Y. M. and Y. W. 1 lie two letters acknowledged my principal thesis, li. E. in the Nebras nan 01 Oct. IS, says: "inere is a iioint of some merit in the statement that we have lost sight of the true inirposo of a University. Nebraska .anks (iinte low in this respect; no doubt, we should have greater con sideralion for high scholarship." A G. M. in the "Nebraskan of Oct. 15 writes: "We admit that the Univer sity is being swept by overorganiza liou and overdriving." They admit that we are overVoreanized but it was to be expected that they would huslen to assert that their organiza lions are justified in existing. So also, say the friends of every organ izatiou on the campus, and the com manders of every campus drive. Let us examine briefly these at tempts at justification. The sole de- tense offered for the . S. G. A. is that it was organized at the reijuesi of the Dean of Women. But, of course, the question is not at whose instigation it .w;ls formed; .it is rather, whether it is needed, in ad dition to the existing organization ot proctors of all sorority and rooming houses, and dormitories. A large part of the defense of the l'. W. is devoted to praising its lesser function, philanthropy. A. G. M. asks if there can be too many pliiian tlironic organizations. The eminent Dr. Edward Devine lecturing here last wek. repeatedly stated that the need was for one charity organization and one only. Considerable space is given to a discussion of Vesper at tendance, which might possibly con vince "a mere man." but never those with first hand information of the number of sorority girls forced to it tend. (In passing, it is interesting to uess why the letter-writers assumed P. T. O. was a man). In the same manner, trying to jus tify the Y. M., the writer dwells at length on those achievements which are admittedly outside the original purpose, that is the matter of hous ing, employment, etc. The imporrant point in my charges thpse writers did not and could not deny. That is. that the main func tion of both the University Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. is already amply cared for by the six student pastors and the Lincoln churches. The com paratively feeble attempts of both or ganizations in this direction are dupli cations. That this discussion Is more than a campus problem 's indicated by 'he half column editorial in the Sun day State Journal of Oct. 15. "Ap plause will be heard from many well informed circles over the demand made in the Daily Nebrasgan for the demobilization of university activ. ities. It is argued with some in genuity and not a little ability that even such an Institution as the Uni versity Y. M. C. A. is duplicating the work of the city "Y" and of the six liastors." It is not enough to say that the prime purpose of a univer sity is scholarship; we must live it. The State Journal continues: "How can a modern university train schol ars and thinkers when it is always buzzing like a bee hive with fntfle activity over 'insignificant causes?'" I know that it is one thing to sound a piea for disorganization and another to Indnce tie demobilization of organizations who think their right to existence Is unquestionable. I but make the plea. Perhaps the officers. for whose glorification the organiza tions exist, may see things as I do. Perhaps, tho student body may de mand an accounting from these groups. Tho certain thing is, that there can be no progress in this di rection unloss it comes from an en lightened opinion of the undergradu ate body. If this opinion exists, use less organizations will disband; the standards of scholarship of tho Uni versity of Nebraska will rise; and our institution will become more of a real University, (Signed) JOSEPHINE GUND. Contemporary Opinion Individuality. Many a man stranded on a desert isle has gone mad from the sheer monotony of the thing. Likewise, il has been said that a venerable philos opher took his life because he had exhausted the resources of the why and wherefore, and there was noth ing now under the sun. All of which goes to prove the necessity of some thins different. Just as no two blades of grass are ilike, so also no t ivo members of the genus mankind are exactly the sumo, and the degree o!' difference Is mere noticeable in man because of his larger size. This variety is truly the spice of life, even the redeeming factor of living. The only reason In the world why .vi: are interested in anyone else is because he is different from us, and yet there are people who ever mask their individuality behind the cloak of afi'eition in nn effort to imitat others. The only thing that may be said in favor of such persons is that they deserve praise for their perse vera nee in so hard a tk. Those who imitate rarely overcome the awkwardness accompanying con s. ions action and rarely roach the ease of the imitated; but if there is one thing in which every person can excell it is the grace that accompan ies tho exhibiting of one's own indi viduality.

Dear .Miss Chatterbox: Won't you please help me out cf my terrible dilemma? The other night 1 met tho nicest man and he asked me for a date. Of course I was de lighted. But horrors, when 1 got home 1 found one of the girls where I stay had gotten a date for me too and now 1 have forgotten the man's name. But that's just half of it. This morning 1 thought I saw the man on the campus, so 1 rushed madly up to him and said, "Oh, 1 am so sorry, out I fear 1 will not be able to take that date with you, for the girls hate made other arrangements for me. You will excuse me, I'm sure." And what do you suppose he said to me? I leariy fainted. "Certainly I shall ex cuse you. for you never had any date with mo." Oh dear, what shall 1 do? Is there no directory of all the good-looking men on the campus? 1 might recognize the name if I heard it. Do help me out, Chatterbox, for imagine the mess if they both come. Yours in a scramble, COO COO. pear Little Coo-Coo: on will please forgive me for say ing that I think your name fits you "persactly." I believe that any girl who takes a date with a man with out knowing who he looks like is "coo-coo." Now, your problem is a very ser ious one, indeed, from two stand points, first, that it must have been very embarrassing to encounter tho strange young man and make that awful break, and second, that you have two "fellers" on the string. I do not consider the last problem such a hard one to solve. If you art clever, m'dear, you should be able to entertain two of 'em very admirably. I would cultivate a charming man ner, if I were you, and make a stab at the "2 in 1" date. No, there is no directory of good looking men. Hastily yours, MISS CHATTERBOX.
