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."

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

ate with them in the matter of hold
ing a few seconds "overtime."

Xi Delta.
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."

"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.
