A NEW SYSTEM.
The front rows of the center sec
tion in the east stand of the stadium
are to be reserved for the exclusive
use of students this year, the athletic
department annourced recently, and
the reservations will be for the en
tire football season.
lie athletic deoeitii'inc has been
far-sighted in its tirvanKCinonts. It
will le possible to exchange the seas
on it-served seat for one elsewhere
in tie stadium sj a ' to sit with
IrVnds or relatives at a particular
gnnic. While this vi.I prebr.lly en
tail considerable clerical work, it
halts most of the obiecr'cn to the
resei ved-seat system before they are
spoken.
Season reservations may not be
the best way of handling the student
tickets, but it will do no harm to
give that method a trial this year.
Almost any place reasonably close
to the center of the field in the sta
dium is excellent, but the more de
sirable places are in the first rows,
both because they are nearer to the
entrances and because, from them,
it is easier to distinguish the players.
Such seats were hard to find last
year without coming at least a half
hour before the game was to begin.
The new system will eliminate this
trouble.
Organizations may sit in groups at
every game this year. A good deal
of interest in football lies in the pri
vilege of expressing one's views of
why a certain play was used, or why
it should not have been used, and
which player was responsible for the
spectacular breaks of the game. This
privilege was unknown under the old
system of first come, first served.
There is something to be said for
the method of last year, however. It
was rarely necessary to attempt to
draw your feet out of the way of late
comers and crane around them so as
not to miss a play.
There are advantages and draw
backs to all systems and the best
thing to do, when there is doubt of
the relative merits of different sys
tems, is to try all of them and then
to use the best points of each, if
such a combination is possible.
If difficulties should develop in
the handling of the reserved section,
the experience of this fall will en
able the athletic department to de
velop a still better plan.
If any student objects to the new
system, let him explain his objections
without maliciously embarassing the
authorities.
THINK.
Every student registered in this
University is, or at least should be,
capable of thinking for himself. The
difficulty often is in directing those
thoughts along proper lines. It
would be well for every student to
determine his own answers to the
following direct questions in order
that he may make the most of his
time in college and become better
acquainted with himself:
"Why are you here?
Who sent you?
How long do you want to etay?
What is the goal you are driving
toward.
Is it a worth while goal?
Will its attainment be of any ma
terial benefit or service to mankind?
What sort of a beginning have you
made?
Have you done your best?
Are you capable of applying your
self further to the task ahead?
Are you lazy?
If not, are you marking time so
far as your interest in your work
is concerned, or are you forging
s ahead?
Who is paying for your schooling?

THE AGE OF DOUBT.
The Mayor of Kirksville, Mo., has
received a letter from a "doubting
Thomas" in Vermont who wants to
know if it is really true that back
in April, 1889, Kirksville had a cy
clone that blew the feathers off the
chickens, as a traveling man told
him it did.
This is truly an age of incredulity.
To think that any one would doubt
the blowing power of a Missouri
wind. But of course the natives
back there did not call the little
breeze in question a "cyclone." That
rooster was lucky it wasn't a cyclone.
Many a poor chanticleer has opened
his mouth to yawn during a Missouri
wind storm, only to fill up suddenly
like a balloon and blow away. The
jack rabbits get used to having their
whiskers whisked away every now
and then. And when a real cyclone
comes along the snakes have to keep
under cover or they'll get their scales
blown off.
This is a doubting age, all right.
We even look questioning at the fun
damentals. For all that William J.
can do, we keep wondering why we
act so much like monkeys. We are
beginning to question some of the
most venerable adages, like, "A bad
penny gathers no moss." It will not
be long before the man who sells the
framed mottos will have to go out
of business. People are getting too
skeptical. It's got to a point where
you even find men who refuse to
believe the promises in the political
platforms. The Daily Californian.

THE ART OF WASTING TIME.
A great many people know how
to waste time. But few realize that
it is an art worthy of study and lab
oratory work.
First comes that intense, driving
conscientious feeling that follows
the realization that you have a great
deal to do. You stop panting with
energy. Then you know you could
never accomplish your work in the
time you may have if it is one hour
you will need two. You know. . .
Suddenly a delicious languor set
tles on your harrassed spirit. You
are about to create an interval of do
ing nothing in particular. The first
friend you meet asks your company.
You go on an errand it doesn't
matter what. Hunger from the ex
ertion falls upon you your don't
care feet turn into the nearest food-
shop, taking you with them.
Sometimes you sit under a tree.
Just sit. If you think, you have
ruined your masterpiece. Eating
sitting, talking when somebody asks
a question the time slouches by
leaving you prostrate with the
thought of what you have not done.
The art is not complicated. It is
simple and anyone may acquire it
although there are a large number of
geniuses turning out minutes upon
minutes of glorious emptiness. Oth
ers, with study and some practice,
may finally reach the heights of this
artistic field that is, never doing
anything.
Statistics show this to be the most
popular of studies during warm
weather. The reason is obvious. The
thing that takes the most time, the
most delectable thing we can find
to do is Nothing. M. H. B. in The

Ten Years Ago
Chancellor Avery delivered his
welcoming address of the year at
a crowded convocation. He present
ed the Haincr scholarship cup to
Phi Kappa Psi and then proceeded
immediately to a discussion of the
situation brought about by the Euro
pean war.
"Probably nothing has done more
to secure and retain for us the good
will of the nations than the fact that
our government has always been free
from secret treaties, hidden alliances
and clandestine diplomatic negotia
tions of all kinds," the Daily Ne
braskan of September 23, 1914,
quotes the Chancellor. "Because
American diplomacy has been gener
ally frank and open, we have nothing
to arouse the suspicions of foreign
lands and little to stimulate their an
imosity."
He commended the administration,
that of President Wilson, for hav
ing maintained peace in spite of the
irritation of Mexican outrages.
Goetze, captain of the track team,
was detained four times in Europe
by the Germans. He has been tour
ing the continent on a motorcycle
and was held as a French spy, and
accused of such designs as the blow
ing up of bridges.
