Every year the students in that class make tests of the illumination in University build ings. And the results of those tests are always the same the lighting of several of the buildings tested is uniformly poor. This deficiency of lighting has probably existed since the University first opened its doors. It has become familiar and so there is hardly more than an occasional faint protest against it But it is not in the engineering buildings only that lighting is poor. Although the tests have been almost entirely confined to them, and so no figures can be given for the other buildings, yet no particularly keen observation, or sensitiveness to in tensity of light, is necessary to recall the feeble illumination in the Library where many students do most of their reading. I All of the old buildings, excepting the Electrical Engineering building, are poorly lighted, most of them even more poorly than the Library. And the new buildings are not perfect Tests conducted in the Social Sci ence building shortly after it was completed showed that only some of the rooms are fairly well illuminated, a The chief objection to poor light ing is not mere inconvenience in reading; it is the harm resulting from eyeFtrain. Many students suffer from eyestrain, and although much of the trouble may be caused by their own carelessness, it is sure that study in poorly lighted University buildings does not help. If the total of irreparable damage to eyesight of all students who have been graduated from the University, caused by four years of study in rooms with insufficient light, could be measured in" terms of money, for example it would probably run into the milions. The bother of specta cles, headaches and other ills that can be traced to eyestrain run the bill much higher. An effort to keep power consump tion for lights down to as low a fig ce as possible is the reason, evident ly, for deficiency of lighting. That policy shows immediate returns in a smaller cost of the University power plant, certainly, but possibly this might be considered a "false econo my." The almost certain injury to the eyes of students and faculty mem bers might better be considered be fore a lower coal bill. Those who are in charge of the physical plant of the University are aware of the inadequate provision for artificial illumination in most of the buildings. Yet they have never made a consistent and sustained effort to improve lighting arrangements. Nebraska cannot expect a host of new buildings with the most modern of conveniences, but what the Uni versity has should be made the most of. Whether the remedy for the trouble is to put in more lights, stronger lights, or modern lighting systems, the remedy should be under taken. It will not entail any great expediture. And, here is an improvement that can be easily made without the help of the legislature. cause people to think. After all, which are more valuable: those which contain nonsense and do not even approach the realm of literature, or those books which, even though the reader does not agree with the au thor's principle, cause the reader to think, to gain an interest in the so cial system and to look deeply into the matter of social welfare? Mr. Gaffney hints at morality and mentions "free love." It is needless to say much concerning free love; we can only point out the defects of our own moral system. In the opinion of Mr. Gaffney we have no right to object to our social system. Is our social system so per fect that it cannot) be improved? When you pass a prison, or even read about crime, does it ever occur what things may have caused it? It is not nautral for men to commit crime: tor crime is a product ot so cial conditions. We have only to look at the so-called sensational murders (the Leopold-Loeb and the murder of a mother by her sixteen year old daughter), to realize the defect ni our social system. Why should any one object to having the defects of our system brought to light? For it is only by this means that it can be Im proved. It is not necessary to sup press the reading of any book; for, only by having a knowledge of exist ing conditions can we progress. As we are enlightened so we progress, and only by enlightenment can we progress. To suppress a book be cause of its material is the same as suppressing the truth. Truth is jus tice and justice is truth. So these books should not be suppressed. Rather, students should be encour aged to read them. JOSEPHINE SHERMAN. caught cheating without giving him a hearing. In this class also the idea of encouraging one student to tell on another wan severly attacked. They were in favor of a system of "class honorable' rather than the honor of the individual. In the sophomore class the discus- a at a a sion lasted tor two nours on me resolutions that had been previously adopted in the mass meeting. The discussion showed that all the stu dents were in favor of a high stan dard of character. This class did nothinir with the clause that made each student responsible for the re Dorting of the offenses of another student In all classes a committee was ap pointed to confer with similar com mittees from other classes in order to draw up the final set of resolu tions.

Ten Years Ago Twenty Years Ago Victories in three games was the record of the Cornhusker basketball team on its northern trip. The third game of the series was with Shat- tuck where the final score was 44 to the final examinations which were to Tan Yean Afo. The Cornhusker basketball team left for its annual journey south, Eight men were selected to make the trip, and as they started at 7 o'clock in the morning, very few students were on hand to give them a send off. Four Missouri Valley games were to be played and the results of these were to have a great deal to do with the standing in the Valley of the Nebraska quintet Two games were to be played with the Kansas State Agricultural College, and two with the University of Kansas. The Kansas Aggies had a veteran aggre gation and were expected to be a rather hard nut to crack. The Jayhawk squad was also causing con siderable worry in the Nebraska camp, due to the fact that they had run up a formidable score in the two games they had played with the Ames aggregation. The semi-annual cram sessions that are said to be a necessary part of our educational system had started in preparation for 22. At no time in the game did the Shattuck men have a "Look in." The system adopted by the Nebraska team was one of short passes. This plan was used by the varsity through out the entire game. Much time was lost during the game in shooting the numerous fouls that were committed by the Shattuck team. The four classes of the University met to discuss the adoption of the honor system. Great diversity of individual opinion prevailed in all the classes but the freshman. In that class the matter was quickly consid ered, dispatched, and then the meet ing turned to a consideration of a class yell. In the meeting of the senior class, talks were given by several members of the faculty. After some consider ation the class voted to put itself on record as being in favor of the honor system but expressing sentiment against the informing of one student upon another. In the junior class there was also considerable discussion. Here the first question to be considered was whether the aim of the system was to punish or to reform. The final feeling was that a student who com mitted an offense shouild be given a fair hearing and the punishment should fit the crime and that the system should not become a prac tice of dismissing every student I be held on Saturday, Monday, Tues day, Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri day of the coming week. The sched ule was practically the same as the one now fh use, except that in special freshman coruses, all sections were to hold the final examinations at the same two hour period regardless of whether or not it would regularly fit into the schedule.

One picture showed a youthful prodigy, wearing a big badge lettered P. B. K., with one hand resting on a high pile of books, and having his picture taken for the Cornhusker. Another one picutred the front door of The Daily Nebraskan, with a broom propelling books, editors, and dust, out in a great heap. This was the house cleaning preparatory to the election of the staff for the sec ond semester. Notices P. E. O. P. E. 0. Campus Club will meet Saturday afternoon from 4 to 5 :30 at Ellen Smith Hall.

To the Editor: j The student opinion column has been silent, but today it is alive J alive with a criticism of the Youth Movement alive with a criticism of the books of Upton Sinclair and a denunciation of the socialistic ten dency. In youth is found the hope of to laorrow. If we who are attending universities at the present time are the ones who are this hope and if we are going to make this world of tomorrow, it is up to up to read such books as Mr. Gaffney objects to in order that we may know something about existing conditions. Such books ar not vile and insidious. They, in many cases, express the truth, but more than that, they Grace English Lutheran Church AH-American 14th and F Streets, CHARLES S. BREAM, Pastor.
