ARE WE PACIFISTS?
The Chicago Tribune recently ran
an editorial by Orr in which the col
leges and universities of the country
are accused of fostering pacifism
which implies that the patriotism of
the students is suffering from the ap
plication of such doctrines.
What will be next? Where does
such a broad and all-inclusfve ac
cusation touch the methods of in
struction that are used here at the
University of Nebraska?
"Of course our viewpoint is more or
less narrow and restricted and we
are not informed, except in a general
way, as to the methods that are used
at other universities, but how the
teaching methods that are used at
present could in any way lessen the
patriotism of the students is quite be
yond us. $
A very small pAcentage of the
courses that are offered touch on
peace or war, or kindred subjects,
but from the experience that the
writer has had with these, pacifism
does not enter in to any great extent.
Undoubtedly the sentiment of the
majority of students is in favor of
peace and it is very probable that a
referendum on the subject would be
almost unanimous in favor of abolish
ing wars, if possible. And it is also
probable that such a referendum
among voters would yield almost the
same result. So where is the sin of
pacifism?
Citizens of the United States are
probably the most peace-loving in the
world. This is demonstrated by the
reluctant manner in which the coun
try entered the recent war and the
hesitance of the country towards the
proposal that it enter the League of
Nations. The reason the United
States did not enter the League of
Nations was probably based more on
a desire for peace than any desire
to hold our government aloof from
the others.
The doctrine of pacifism is entirely
different from that of "peace at any
price." Can not a pacifist be just as
patriotic as any one else? Wherein
lies the sin?

THE COST OF EDUCATION,
An average annual cost of $889.60
for students in medical colleges at
Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan,
Nebraska, Syracuse, the medical col
lege of Virgina, and the University
of Virgina, is shown in a recent pub
lished study made by Dean Irving S.
Cutter, '98, of the Nebraska college
of medicine.
The dean's figures show that the
bulk of the students' expenses are
board, medical fees, lodging, clothing,
and recreation, in the order named.
The junior year is the most expen
sive, except at Virginia where the
sophomore year and at Indiana where
the freshman year costs the student
the most. Nebraska, with an aver
age expenditure for the student of
$871.04, comes sixth in this list of
eight schools.
According to Dean Cutter, the fig
ures returned show that st'idents can
spend much less than they regard as
essential. The number of students
earning part of their expenses is
large, he adds. The average expendi
ture represents in the dean's opinion
the expenses of the student who gets
the most out of college professional,
cultural, and social.
These figures from the most expen
sive of all colleges are extremely in
teresting, particularly so since they
show what has long been known that
expenses at Negraska are lower than
at most other institutions. A similar
comparision in other collges would
be interesting.
It is very probable that the average
cost for students in other collges
would run several hundred dollars
below Dean Cutter's figures, probably
reaching into the five or six hundreds.
But, there as in the medical college,
the cost for students would without

Student Opinion.
POOR AND RICH STUDENTS.
To the Editor:
Are students of rich parents better
fit for a college education than those
of poor parents? Dean Nile of the
Cornell University medical collge ad
vises that training for the medical
profession should be restricted to
boys of rich parents. He says, that
the poor boy breaks down in support
ing himself while acquiring an educa
tion,
If only the students of rich parents
were allowed educational privileges
we would sacrifice some of our best
talent The fact that a student is
willing to put himself through school
proves that he is ambitious and pro
gressive. It is- this type of scholar
that has the qualities that will do
society more good. He will make
his education prove worth while and
will be able to use it in furthering
the aim of society.
President Burton of the University
of Michigan takes the opposite posi
tion from that of Dean Nile. He
argues that many of the college
faults are due to large wealth and
social tinsel. Many of the students
come to the University for the social
life instead of an education: If a stu
dent earns his way through college
he is more likely to realize his pur
pose at school.
The child of rich paren. may have
the advantage over the child of the
poor parent, but it does not follow
that he is more capable of obtaining
an education. History has proved
that success of the student is largely
a matter of his own will power and
initiative. Wealth and poverty may
have their influence but the final
results are largely an individual
matter.

THE YES-ERS.
(Penn State Collegian.)
Here at Penn State is a student
body that is composed of most agree
able fellows. In fact, it would be
hard to find a more pleasant group
of men with whom to pass four years
of college life than is found right in
the Nittany Valley.
Agreeableness is a virtue, but car
ried to excess it becomes a vice.
When a prominent undergraduate
makes the statement that he has
never seen a motion -defeated in his
two years of service on one of the
most important bodies of the student
government, it is time to stop and
reflect on a quality that seems to
dominate the actions of the average
undergraduate, an inability to stand
squarely on his own mental feet and
to think for himself.
This lack of self-reliance is evident
in the meetlns of socities, fraternities
and campus organizations. An action
is proposed which may be contrary
to the wishes of a large portion of the
group. Let that action once be put
on the floor in the form of an affirm
ative motion and it is almost certain
to be enacted.
Some time ago, a series of radical
reforms was 'instituted that deprived
the undergraduates of not a few of
their social priveleges. Now the aver
age student has little sympathy for
regulations, even though they may
be designed for his own good, if they
restrict his personal liberty. It was
indeed surprising that the first re
form of this nature did not meet with
some out-spoken proof of resentment
from the student body. But with the
exception' of a few desultory mutter-
ings, not one cloud, indicative of a
storm of protest, darkened the tran
quil horizon of campus thought..
For this reason alone the Collegian
is glad that the Student Welfare
committee has taken action against
June house-party. A spirit of pro
test has swept through the rank of
the undergraduates and the usually
lazy and indifferent attitude of the
student has been, changed to one of
active interest in the problems of the
college. Undergraduate leaders are
working eanestly, as they have done
in the past, seeking a solution of the
situation, and they at last have the
backing and interest of a student
body that has been aroused from its
usual phlegmatism. This is, indeed,
a healthy condition.
In the past the colleges has been
infested with yes-ers, men who seem
to be too mentally lazy and indiffer
ent to think for thmselves. It is a
wise student who takes an active in
terest in the campu3 problems of this
institution for he will develop those
qualities of straight thinking and
leadership that are so much in de
mand in this present day world.

This cap stays put!
Other caps get lost but the new Williams
Hinge-Cap stays where you want it Truly,
that's an improvement.
Like the cap, the shaving cream in the
Williams tube is a big improvement, too. 4For
Williams lather is heavier and faster-working.
It holds the water in, so that your beard is
softened sooner. And the lather lubricates. The
razor fairly glides over your skinr Because of a
soothing ingredient in Williams you can shave
daily yet always have a smooth and well-cared-for
face. Williams is pure, natural-white cream.
Absolutely without coloring matter. Buy it, try
it with the new Hinge-Cap!
