FRESHMEN NEED INSTRUCTION.
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.

vanced course in Military Science
