Classes have started, work for nine months is under way, and the fifty-fifth year of the University of Nebraska starts on its way toward a goal that every student and every alumnus can see only in dreams. For many years there has been a steady growth of this great, far-felt, and worthy institution. It is not only a growth that is measured in a mate rial fashion, but a growth that equals the paces set by civilization. Every year, the freshmen present a problem to those vitally interested in the progress of the University. They must be trained into the spirit and traditions of the University. They come from high schools that have immature persons as graduates, they have no idea of the extreme value of love for the alma mater. Fraternities and sororities take it upon themselves to teach all of this. Many students receive none of the benefit. They are the greater prob lems. Rallies will be held soon and such matter will be taught to the young men and women who are soon to be the leaders in the University of Ne braska. If freshmen do not know Nebraska, have them learn Nebraska. ADVICE. No sooner is an intention an nounced or a project started than advice either to the fallacy or the advisability of the proposition is of fered. It seems that no subject is immune to such counsel. Its sources are as numerous as its content is variable and confusing. Perhaps we defeat our own end by giving advice when the overabund ance of that very thing is what we would stem. Our attempt is more a warning than a persuasion. ' A bit of advice about advice is, in general, not to take it. Do not re ject it wholly nor accept it bodily. There is such a thing as listening to reason. Reason implies meditation, and if advice is subjected to that process precipitant action will be arrested and a weighed conclusion reached. There is much to learn in every new phase of life, and those who are experienced can be helpful to the uinitiated by giving sound ad vice when it is sought. It is when the novice takes a decisive step just on the strength of advice and with out consulting his own liking or his aptitudes that he acts to err. The ability to make one's own de cisions is a sign of self-competency. Few people ever accomplish anything big by relying on advice. It often leads to error and it destroys the highly essential quality of self-determination. AMONG OUR CONTRIBUTORS. Readers of this paper will notice & letter in the Student Opinion col umn today. The letter in itself is violent, using abusive phrases that tend to destroy the purpose of the article. As far as good literature, good thought, and constructive crit icism is concerned, that letter is as worthless as a rain insurance policy in the Sahara desert. The article writhes in pain that it has created for itself. It wreaks in the baseness of phrases and thought that was put into its composition. Everyone certainly likes to see good, clean, uplifting literary mat ter in this publication and not the kind that turns a person away with disgust. It is unfortunate that the controversy arose as to the justness of certain editorial opinion and there is a feeling of the most genu ine and sincere regret possible on the part of the editor that there was a feeling of such gross injury on the part of some of the ardent support ers of the Daily Nebraskan. It the article was estimated by the editor as rational and worthy of considera tion, the writer of it might learn a few facta that seem to make his ar guments extremely fallacious. Editor The Daily Nebraskan: Some two thousand years ago Je sus Christ, with a knotted lash in hi hand, beat the money changers out of the temple. The example which He set on that day is worth consid eration by students of the Univer sity of Nebraska. There are on this campus a large number of "money grabbers," students who, through "graft" jobs, get large sums of money out of the student body every year. They expect to make enough for a Ford coupe, but to return any thing to the University is far from their minds. They take but they do not give. My dear Mr. Editor, your editor lals of ednesday morning were nothing more nor less than attempts to start propaganda which will re suits in saving you a few dollars. Few are the good students at the University who are so narrow-minded as to "crab" about having to pay a little of the cost of securing an education. loday, an education is an investment, and if you cannot see your way clear to put in a mere $23 a semester, $50 a year, $200 for a four-year course, to receive a return which will run into the thousands, yea, verily hundreds of thousands, then you have no business in a .school of higher education. Your education could much bettctr " be learned in the University of Hard Knocks. The University administration found it necessary to raise the fees last spring in order that the Univer sity might not sacrifice any of the large number of advantages it has gained, and is now offering to you and me. But for the increased fees, the faculty, the general staff, of our University would have been cut. We, as students, are merely making the added investment that we may have a University of the highest de gree of efficiency; we are making an investment similar to that of the business man who figures a machine which turns out 1,000 units is worth far more than one which turns out but 100 units, though the origi nal cost may be many times greater. Members of our faculty are not re ceiving excess salaries; few received an increase this year. More instruc tors were added, it is true, but Ne braska could not long continue, would soon lose its good students, if it tried to continue with a faculty the size of Cotner's. The finance department is squeezing every dol lar till it cracks. And, yet, you "crab." When a student in the position which you hold starts' "crabbing" our University, it is time that some one "sat down" on him. How far would the manager of a large de partment store get if he started to tell the public that the management is unfair, foolish, crooked? You hold very similar responsibility to the University and its student body. Even though we students may be paying $50 a year tuition, how far would we get if our neighbors and relatives did not "kick in" with sev eral hundred more for each of our educations? You are like the gen tleman who when given a foot of rope takes a rod. Cannot you be grateful that you do not have to pay between $500 and $2,000 to come to Nebraska? But for the generosity of our Nebraska taxpay ers you would be doing just that thing. Now look at it this way. Why should your neighbor, perhaps a bachelor, pay as much to educate you as you as your father, who, maybe, sends six children to the University? Is it not fair that you pay a little for what you personally receive? We owe the University already far more than we can ever repay. When you start playing the game in such a way that you expect a $1,000 education for a measly $50, it is time for some one to "boot" you good, and teach you "what's what and why." Youjrs for a greater University and fewer money grabbers. Merely Opinion Tickets covering all athletic events for the year will soon be put on sale. The tickets, sold for the extremely low price of $7.60, are bought by practically every student on the cam pus. They Bell for a price that is a dollar and a half less than the sea son tickets to the five football games are sold to outsiders. It is a sort of a single tax for athletics, a benefit to purchasers. Now is the time for all freshmen to get into activities, lou will be the leaders in this institution in a few years. Those who start right out are the ones who are going to be the leaders. sharp. There are Borne very import ant matters to be. taken up. Chancellor's Reception The annual reception given by the Chancellor and Mrs. Avery for all students and members of the faculty, will be held from 8 to 10 in the Art hall, Saturday evening. What freshman can go out on the old athletic field and look upon that massive piece of architecture with out feeling that he has chosen a uni versity whose students have great energy, spirit, and love for the insti tution that they call their own? Iron Sphinx A very important meeting of the Iron Sphinx will be held Fri day evening at 7:30 at the Kappa Sigma house. All members must be present. Special Meeting. A special meeting of all members of the Student Council will be held this morning at 11 o'clock in S. S 105. It should be the pleasure of all upperclassmen to meet the freshmen, who feel the strangeness of the sur roundings and feei uncomfortable in the new environment. A pleasant greeting for them now will mean a lasting friendship. Green caps will scon appear on the campus, lhey are the iirst instance for freshmen to feel that there is a co-operation between every student in the university. That is their pur pose. It is also felt that freshmen ire rather sure of themselves when oming from high schools as seniors and a quick destruction of that spirit is compatible with the progress of the spirit in the institution. Notice All students beginning the ad vanced course in Military Science who have not been measured for uni forms, please report at Room 308, Nebraska hall, Friday, Sept. 21, 9-12 and 1-5.
