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.

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.

It is rumored that the Republicans are now omitting the second clause
in the fifth verse, when they read the twenty-third Psalm.
