A recent issue of The Minnesota
Daily announces that cut rates are
to be made to students there for
performances of classical plays by
Frits Leiber in Minneapolis next

Nebraska students. This is just an
other little fact that points to disre

University students.

POST SEASON GAME.
"Not a few Cornhusker followers
are peeved that Missouri is being
allowed to go to the Pacific Coast,"
runs part of an article in the Sunday
Nebraskan. "Nebraska has been re
fused permission to play similar
games on at least two different oc
casions and many other offers for
post-season conflicts have not been
considered by the Husker authorities
because of the Valley ruling and the
difficulty of obtaining the sanction
of the Conference."
This standpoint is the common
one taken by Nebraska students.
There may not have been a complete
lack of partiality in granting per
mission to compete in a post-season
game with the University of South
ern California, in the face of direct!
refusals to Nebraska on previous oc
casions, but the argument advanced
by the Missouri officials was strong
enough to convince the Cornhusker
representatives.
In brief, the reason for approving
this particular Christmas day game
is that the Tigers need the money.
The Missouri alumni association on
the coast can do a great deal toward
adding to the Missouri stadium fund,
the Tigers say, and the proceeds of
the game will not be inconsiderable.
The Conference is overwhelmingly
opposed to post-season games, Ne
braska representatives emphasized,
but relented from its firm decision
because of Missouri's appeal to take
advantage of this chance to add f
little to the stadium fund.
Nebraska was the loser on previ
ous occasions because the University,
it seems, was not represented at
Conference meetings by persons
crafty enough to advance the need of
ready cash as an argument in favor
of a post-season game.
But Nebraska need not feel bitter
after this seeming discrimination.
Cornhusker officials probably be'
lieve that post-season games are not,
in the long run, the best form of ac
tivity for a football team. Perhaps
the Missouri squad is to be pitied
rather than envied. At any rate, a
precedent has been set that should
make it a comparatively simple pro
cess for Nebraska to secure Confer
ence approval for an extra game
when the next championship year ar
rives.
UNAUTHORIZED.
The Missouri Valley Conference,
Nebraska included, is somewhat start
led over a recent press dispatch an'
nouncing that the University of Ne
braska applied for admission to the
Western Conference at a meeting of
the officials of that Conference last
Friday. It is entirely conceivable
that other Valley schools are dis
pleased with the Cornhuskers' "high
and mighty" attempt to get into "big1
company. The Daily Nebraskan
offers in explanation, on the authori
ty of the University officials who
would ordinarily be responsible for
such action, denial of knowledge of
this petition to the "Big Ten." Ne
braska was not consulted, gave no
approval to the petition, and knew
nothing of it.
The facts, as outlined by Mr. Sel-
leck, business agent for athletics, are:
Omaha alumni associations of Big
Ten schools gathered the necessary
information concerning the Univer
sity, drew up the petition to the West
era Conference, and presented it to
that body. Nebraska alumni were as
completely out of the affair as was
the University. The only reason
that is advanced for this action of
Big Ten alumni living in Omaha is
a natural desire to see the football
team of the "alma mater" in action.
- Nebraska is well satisfied in the
Missouri Valley Conference. Valley
athletics are as worthy of Cornhus
ker competition at any in the nation.
But a direct result of this application
to the Big Ten, and probably tb
only definite result that will appear,
is injury to Nebraska's standing in
the Valley Conference.
If the Missouri Valley will give
fair weight to the wish of Nebraska
in this matter, there will be no ill
feeling over the affair; it will be!
The purpose of higher education,
they tell us, should be to "stimulate
independent thinking, to inspire to
an intellectual life, to encourage un
dergraduates to dig out knowledge
for themselves and aid them in de
veloping conclusions therefrom, and
prepare them for intellectual lender-
ship."
A specially appointed committee
composed of seniors in Dartmouth
has published an enlightening re
port on the conditions of American
colleges. This committtee, after a
thorough and exhaustive investiga
tion, came to the conclusion that the
true purposes of a college to stimu
late independent thinking, etc. is
blocked completely by a lecture
course system, "a kind of attempt at
mass education, which should be
abolished, and the students encour
aged to work personally for the in
formation they desire."
"The criterion," declares the re
port, "is his (the student's) ability
to absorb, retain, and regurgitate on
the proper occasions about 50 per
cent of the information the instruc
tor sees fit to include in his course,
together with the latter's supposedly
authoritative commentary thereon.
"He doesn't know how to investi
gate a subject. He only knows that
if he reads with ordinary care cer
tain designated pages of a certain
book, he will know enough about the
particular subject to answer the
questions he may be asked about it
by the instructor who knows that
he has only read with ordinary care
certain designated pages of a certain
designated book."
For the umpteenth time the ob
ject of a college or university train
ing is to stimulate independent think'
ing. The Minnesota Daily.
