A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.
Nebraska ended the basketball sea
son in third place in the Missouri Val
ley conference, with Kansas winnin?
the honors and Oklahoma second.
We are proud of our team. Al
though they lost a few pames, they
played a great brand of basketball
all the way, and we were never
ashamed of their performance
It matters not what place they oc
cupy. Of course, we would rather
have finished first, but third isn't so
bad, and after all it's not the s"ore
that counts most it is the way they
play the game.
Trospects are bright for next year.
With only one man lost to the first
team by graduation, and s second
string of high calibre. Coach KVne
has a nucleus with which to build a
championship organization.
So we'll just mark time urlii li)25.
TREAT HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES
COURTEOUSLY.
High school athletes from every
nook and corner of the state are
pouring into Lincoln to participate
in the "World's Largest Basketball
Tournament." The University has
the responsibility of entertaining and
caring for her guests.
A number of the teams will be
lodged in fraternity houses again
this year, and it is hoped that cer
tain complaints in the past will have
their effect.
In past years teams that were
lodged in fraternities were often sub
jected to different forms of spectacu
lar entertainment, and this entertain
ment, while perhaps amusing o some
of the promoters, was irksome and
distasteful to the guests.
Mock fires, murders, suicides and
other inspired tricks were staged, and
while a few may have gleaned some
amusement therefrom, the procedure
didn't do the University or the fra
ternities any good.
These high school men were often
made the butt of a varied collection
of practical .jokes, and whil? tiesc
were seemingly harmless to the per
petrators, they left the visitors in no
pleasant frame of mind, and sent
them to their homes with less regard
for the University and its studeVts.
This practice has reacted in two
different ways. These men went
home and told how they were treated
by fraternity men at the University
of Nebraska, and the result was that
fuel was added to anti-University an1
anti-fraternity fires.
Fraternities render a distinct serv
ice to the University by housing these
teams. Inasmuch as the fraternities
Are willing to do this, it would seem
that they should go a step farther
and prohibit their members from an
noying or in any way offending their
guests.
The basketball tournament offers
an opportunity to every University
student to put in a few good licks
for his alma mater. By treating our
guests courteously and kindly, we
can show them what a great school
this is, demonstrate the Cornhusker
spirit, and imbue them with the am
bition to come here to school.
The University needs all the ath
letic material that is available. The
University needs the kindly feeling
cf every voter in the state. The Uni
versity needs the backing and co-operation
of the high schools.
Everyone can aid in this by treat
ing our guests courteously and send
ing them home with a warm spot in
their hearts for the University and
its students.

THINKS JUNIOR -SENIOR PROS? IS
OUT ON LIMB.
To the Editor:
I noticed in the Daily Nebraskan
that the joint committee of the jun
ior and senior classes have decided

who have trouble with" pledges. Just
look at the stadium.
Mrs. Blank (visiting) Really,

fore this, but somehow we kept put
ting off the evil day. Weekly Tele
graph. Vocational speaker She had quite
a successful career until she got
married.
No man may have his cake and
to hold a Junior-Senior Prom.
I think that this is a very foolish
venture. The class committees of
the first semester thought that the
prom could not be successfully held
this year, and the action of those
committees should be just as official
as this latter action.
Last semester I had to pay an as
sessment that was levied to wipe out
the class deficit. That class deficit
was partly from the junior-senior
prom.
The date that has been selected
is late in April, long after the formal
season has closed. If the prom when
held in the past early in the formal
season was not a success, how can
this one, promoted as it is by a new
committee after a previous commit
tee had already abandoned the
project, make it a success.
It makes no difference to me if
a number of juniors and seniors want
to get together and have a little for
mal dance of their own, and as far
as I am concerned they can do this.
But I do object to paying a class as
sessment to wipe out a debt that w-as
contracted for that purpose.
If the committee feels that the
junior-senior prom will pay its way,
all well and good. But if they are
trying to saddle another deficit on
the classes, they had beter look be
fore they leap.

HIRING TROTSKY
(The Dartmouth)
What President Hopkins said in
Chicago Friday amounts in substance
to this: "The job of the college
teacher is to stir up the mind, the
thinking, and the imagination of the
undergraduate and the need is so in
sistent that I would even hire Trotsky
to do the job were he available."
Anything, be it noted, to stir up the
mind of the undergraduate. Any
thing to have the faculty realize that
it.s job is to awaken undergraduate
thinking and not merely to spill facts
and more facts.
When one carries President- Hop
kins' reasoning just one step further,
one comes to see that undergraduate
indifference stands as the chief in
dictment of college faculties. If un
dergraduates are indifferent to stud
ies and to things intellectual, let the
college faculties look to themselves
for the reason. Because college un
dergraduates are not chronically in
different. They have their interests.
their keenly appreciated interests,
and invariably they revel enthusias
tically in them, be they athletic or ar
tistic, extra-curricular or intellectual.
The job of the college teacher is to
direct those interests. Under proper
direction every undergraduate should
take his diploma only after having
developed intellectual and artistic
pursuits which make him an educated
man. President Morgan of Antioch
College hit it exactly in a speech in
Boston about a year ago when he
said: "Young people are keenly in
terested, but what they are interested
in depends largely upon what inter
ests have been effectively presented
to them or are held in high regard by
their associates or superiors. Our
ytung people come to us with inef
fective, unbalanced, unwise interests.
A large part of the business of the
college is effective presentation of
suitable objects of interest.'
Awaken undergraduate interest,
then, in the pursuits which will make
him an educated man. That's funda
mental. Trotsky's radicalism doesn't
enter into the question at all. The
colleges have had enough of the hot
house theory of education that col
lege students are to be protected
against rash doctrines enough f
the belief that they are to know of
progressive thinking only in the past
