Business Manager Otto Skald Circulation Manager THIRD PLACE Nebraska is in third place in the Misouri Valley basketball race, and by administering a decisive beating to Washington, pushed her down to fourth all of which further con firms our opinion voiced early in the season that Nebraska has one of the best teams in the valley. This team has lost several games, but they were mostly by close scores, and and while we are not offering an alibi, hard road trips with games close to gether had as much to do with our downfall as any other element. The Nebraska quintet could offer any team in the country all they would care to meet in one evening. The spirit displayed by the crowd at the game Friday night was a de cided improvement over that of other games, and this has no doubt been an important factor in the im provement of the morale of the play ers. So, we think that our team de serves beter than third place, we bide our time. We are consoled by the thought that only one regular will be mising from the lineup next year. The 1925 Husker basketball team should be the best in the country. THE MORNING AFTER- BELIEVE IT OR NOT The story is current concerning The Daily Nebraskan sport writer who, in a time of emergency, was sent to cover an intercollegiate debate. His story follows: "Nebraska's fighting logic-tossers locked horns Saturday night with a speedy aggregation of word-jugglers from Blank coMege, emerging from the bout with the long end of a two-to-thre9 judges' decision. The quibble was over the question of whether emigration or immigration should be limited, the Nebraska Hhink-shoppers' upholding the minus side of the squabble. At no time was the home teams' goal seriously threatened, al though the Blankers on several occasions showed flashes of superiority in the use of descriptive adjectives. In the closing pi iod the Husker trio displayed a high-powered ability to duck and block. The next dispute will be threshed out on a foreign floor s the local logicians journey to a neigh boring state over the week-end." We may be a little late, but following the lead of the University Night cpmmittee and Sigma Delta Chi, we wishto announce that we are in no way responsible for anything that occurred at the auditorium Saturday night. Miss Nomer says that she certainly enjoyed Senator Johnson's speech and she hopes that he decides to run for some office so she can vote for him. WEEKLY ETIQUETTE LESSON. Andy Gump, the well-known statesman and financier, was awarded the prize this week. His solution states that: "Every person should learn to manicure his nails with his left hand for there- is always pos sibility of getting the right hand cut off." This week we will offer as a first nriz9 a beautiful chewing-gum statue of a plumber at work, we want to know what foods should be conveyed to the mouth with a knife. We recently read a very short history of the life of George Washington and it occurred to us as rather surprising that the birthdays of so many great men come on holidays. The New York police have been unable to find any trace of the slayers of Louise Lawson but they have shown great literary talent in naming the unknown assailants "the towel strangers." It's remarkable how versatile the modern detective is. , . POLITICAL PALAVER OF A PESSIMIST. All the world's a stage and every politician a stage robber. Some one was heard to ask, "What are politics coming to?" We won't try to answer that but we do think we know where they have gone to. rr.v: rnAV ia the subject of Dr, 4 Ilia I' V . - C A.

MARTIN, Pres. A song hit popular with politicians these days- That's Fleecing You." 'Don't Bite the Hand THE WORKING STUDENT Sympathy is often expressed for the boy who is working his way through school. Perhaps he has not been recognised socially in the past but today he recognized in campus and social activities as an equal. A survey made by Howard Brubaker, published in one of the last issues of the Saturday Evening Post, entitled "The Self Supporting Student,"shows that out of 175 schools investigated, 225,000 students are enrolled, 100, 000 of which are working to pay their expenses. At the University of Chicago, 50 per cent work their way. University of California 60 per cent, New York University 60 per cent. Tufts Col lege 75 per cent, and at our own Uni versity, acording to the records of the Employment secretary, about 50 per cent. Statistics gathered for this article show that 10 per cent of the girls en rolled in American colleges are work ing their way through school, while 44 per cent of the men are working their way. In this article, Mr. Brubaker points out that the working student of to day is the careful, thoughtful busi nes man of tomorrow, because many of the principles learned working will tend to make him a business success. Much credit . is due the working student. He needs encouragement many times because financial condi tions may make him downhearted. The Y. M. C. A. has been an active factor in assisting students through the employment bureau. Oftentimes it is not the finding of a job or the pointing out of a loan fund, but the friendly, brotherly interest of the secretary as students come to him for advice and help. Those of us who have our expenses paid should show a friendly interest in the working stu dent, both through sharing of bis problems with him and by socially recognising him as an equaL This builds genuine and lasting friend ships.
