Hicks Business Manager Clarence Eickhoff Asst. Business Manager Otto Skold Circulation Manager OFFICE HOURS Every afternoon with the exception Friday and Sunday. Now that the frigid weather has come down upon us with piercing coldness, we are reminded that the Ilnivarsitv ennmus was laid out wroni'. The school is so located that the students have to walk either north or west to come to school, thus exposing them to the extreme blasts of the winds originating in those di rections. Whie walking against a cold, piercing wind on the way to school is anything but pleasant, this situation has its advantage. It is a comfortable feeling to have the wind at one's back on the way home from classes. The charge has been made that students in American colleges do not get enough exercise, and long walks are recommended. With this asser tion in mind, a Lincoln church has asked students to take a Sunday morning walk to their church for the morning services. This suggestion should be taken seriously by students for the benefits of church attendance as suggested are many. The exercise of walking to church will help the student to keep in the best of physical condition. But the attendance of church may also be urged on other and more important grounds. No student is so busy that he can't devote one hour a week to going to church. The college stu dent who thinks that going to church is a waste of time is on the wrong track. Religion is the most power ful individual force affecting the world today. Again, the church offers the stu dent an opportunity to keep in con tact with the outside world. Other advantages of regular church at tendance might also be listed here, but these will suffice. Students might remember the saying of one of America's great men, which read as follows: "Religion is a dominant factor in a successful life." RAG CARPET Help! Help!

To make all necessary repairs in the furnace. To practice aesthetic dancing on the campus. Many humorists make a funny sort of a living. but this like we pass up study like this. We The proof of our pudding is that it is usually bombproof. YESTERDAY A PERFECT DAY. We left our tray on the table in the Temple and didn't get caught. We had four pieces of pie and five malted milks. We chewed free gum all afternoon. We got an excuse for the after noon on the strength of the second statement. The poor little wind is chilly, too. Many students who would hesitate to consume their soup aloud are not beyond reproach in, the matter of class rooM etiquette. A professor, it may be imagined, would just as soon have one wiggle five fingers at him derisively, as he woud try to lecture to a class that whispered, giggled, or looked in des peration out the windows. Have you ever tried to talk, or tell a story, to someone who paid no attention to you? It's a peculiar feeling. If you haven't, do so, for it will give you some idea of what a professor confronts when he lectures to a class of pre-occupied students. Look your instructor in the eye, then think about anything yo please. Again, how disconcerting to a professor is the hurly, burly when the first bell rings! There is a mad rush for caps and hats, a gathering up of coats and books, and often the professor's voice is drowned out in the hubbub. That bell is a gentle reminder that the class session is about over, not a warning that the building is on fire. We admit, of course, that profes sors who just begin to get warmed un with the tirst Den are not so scarce as dod birds, but at least they are responsive and tactable if treat- kindly. Give your instructor an pportunity to finish the sentence, and conclude his lecture. It's only common courtesy. On the other hand, the- professors who disregard the warning bell en tirely should 'have fheir attention called to the fact that they should ot wait to the second bell before concluding their lecture. Many stu dents have to go to other buildings for their next class. If the profes sors will finish their lecture as soon as possible after the bell, they will nd the students willing to co-oper ate with them in the matter of hold ing a few seconds "overtime." day at Faculty Hall.

Xi Delta meeting Thursday, Ellen Smith, at 7:15. Every member urged to be there. In college one is often called upon to shake hands, either on receiving an introduction, welcoming an old acquaintance, or some such occasion. This constant practice naturally brings up the question, "How do you shake hands?" Do you take hold of a person's hand as though you were handling a hot potato and afraid of hurting yourself? Or do you take hold of a person's hand with a firm, manly grip, showing the heartiness and strength of the handclasp that you are really glad to make or re new the acquaintance? In this day of hustle and bustle when first im pressions count so much, the value of a real he-man handshake cannot be over-estimated. University traditions sometimes change. Ten and fifteen years ago it was the custom of graduating classes to present the University with a gift of some sort, and many inter esting possessions of our campus have been provided by class gift. It was a splendid tradition one for the University to be proud of. In the past five years or so, how. ever, a new tradition, if it can be so classified, has been adopted by the senior classes. Instead of the grad uating class buying a gift for the University, they have reversed the tradition. Now no self-respecting senior class graduates 'row: the Uni versity without leaving a class debt behind them for the school to re member them by. This year, how ever, an effort has been planned whereby the senior class will leave no debt as a legacy to the university. It is to be hoped that the senior class is successful in breaking "debt tradition." Lutheran Club. Important business meeting Thurs day in Social Science 113 at 7:00. Christian Science Society.

"Give me a log with Mark Hopkins at one end of it and myself at th; other," said, in effect, President Garfield, "and I would not want a better college." But if Mark Hopkins was an inspired teacher, it isjust as true that James A. Garfield was an inspir ing student. Sometimes Garfield's praise of his professor is quoted in disparagement of present day faculties the assumption beingfhat we as listeners are sympathetic, all that we ought to be and that it is the teacher who has lost his vision. Is this often the case? It is the recollection of one graduate at least that he did not give his professors a chance. Cold to their enthusiasms, he was prone to. regard those men more in the light of animated text-books than as human beings able and eager to expound their art or to go beyond it into the realm of his own personal problems. This is a man to man proposition. Each has to go halfway. Remember, there are two endsto thelog.
