Manager Sfmpeon Morton ............Circulation Manager Oacar Kaahn Circulation Manager THE CURRIC- DISORGANIZED ULUM The comment on "Sugar-Coated Material" reprinted from the McGill Daily in the College Press column voices what has come to be a com mon criticism of the present curric ulum. Students, it is pointed out, do not study subjects, they register for courses. When a student wishes to know something about economics, he takes a course in economics where the knowledge he desires is handed out to him in lectures and daily as signments. It is knowledge, pre pared in tabloid form, for easy con sumption. It is easily consumed but too often it has neither depth nor permanency. Because the curriculum has been founded on this idea of courses, it has divided the field of knowledge into rather narrow departments. There are departments of philosophy, departments of English literature, departments of history, departments of economics. A student gets an edu cation by taking two courses in one department, two in another, three in another, etc. Since the work he Student Opinion 'Tba Daily Nebraakan assumes no responsibility for tha sentiments am praaaod by corraapondanta, and ra sarvaa tha right to axclnda any com munication whoM publication may for any ration aaam niuJasirabla.

To The Editor: The author of a letter in yester day's Daily Nebraskan attacking leg islation made by the Women's Self Governing Association to prevent smoking in women's houses, was slightly misinformed. Because smok ing among women has never been a serious problem at Nebraska, the sub ject has never been discussed by the organization and no thought of legis lation against it has ever been given consideration. The author, reading the rule, "There shall be no smoking on the premises," which was printed with the list of W. S. G. A. rules, misconstrued the attitude of the As sociation. This rule was made some twenty years ago by the Pan-Hellenic coun cil lo prevent men from smoking in rooming and sorority houses at house parties. It was included, by request, with the regular W. S. G. A. rules, long before the idea of a woman smoking ever occurred to anyone. The rule does not express a domi neering attitude, with the idea of de priving free individuals of the right to decide for themselves. That does not have to be done. Tradition and a sense of fitness of time and place are far more efficient. Nebraska women do not stand for smoking. The prominent women's organizations all discountenance it; so strong is the feeling against it that girls should know before they enter Nebraska that it is no place for them if they expect to smoke. Smoking among women is not a serious question at Nebraska. Public sentiment plays too strong a role. BARBARA WIGGENHORN should be put up, the students must keep their eyes on the world and re alize Its problems and its difficulties. While the world must be watched, carefully observed and studied, its influences must be kept outside the walls of the university. McGill Daily. The College Press SUGAR-COATED MATERIAL Prominent educationalists have in recent years loudly raised their voic es at the increasing tendency in the universities of serving everything to the students in a prepared form, giv ing all, as it were, a sugar coating, that the pill might be the more easi ly swallowed. Such has been Dr. Stephen Leacock's attack against the Twenty Years Ago The girl's basketball team went to Columbia to play the University of Missouri. This was to be the only trip for the girls with the possible exception of a trip to Omaha to play the Y. W. C. A. The difference in the size of courts was expected to be a handicap to the team, as the Mis souri court was only about half the size of the Nebraska floor. Six play- era were to be used on each side in stead of the regular five. H. R. 169, which, because of the vital interest to the University had been closely followed by the students, passed the Senate after its third reading. The heading of the bill, "A bill for act to enable the regents of the University of Nebraska to con demn lands needed for said Univer sity and to provide the mode of and procedure of such condemnation" gives an idea of the contents of the bill and what the passage of such a measure meant to the University. The bill was introduced, primarily, in order that lands directly adjoining the campus on the north might be made available and the campus there by extended. in four minutes, 45 seconds, by us ing a body chancery hold.

Ten Years Ago With the first call for spring foot ball, Coach Steihm and Captain Ruth erford began active work in building up the 1915 eleven which was to up hold Nebraska's record of two sea sons without defeat and which was to be for five years the Missouri Valley champipons. Prospects were good for a sucessful preliminary spring work out and for the next year's eleven. Practically all the old letter men were out together with many first year men who were given their op portunity to become full-fledged huskers. Every available seat for the fourth annual University Night was sold af ter the tickets were on sale for two hours. The onlv chance which re mained for those who were not able to secure seats was in the gallery rush on the night of the play. The tenth annual gymnastic exhi bition was to be held Saturday. The purpose of this exhibition was to give Friday, March 27. Lambda Chi Alpha Spring party Lincoln Hotel. Kappa Kappa Gamma House dance. Kosmet Klub Dinner dance University Club.

What is even more regretable he never sees the relationship between the various departments. His work in one is de tached, distinct, unrelated to his work in another. The honors course plan, now in use at Swarthmore and Smith col leges, in which exceptional students are freed from ordinary academic restrictions for two years to study one broad field of knowledge and given a general examination on this field at the end of two years, meets this criticism. Under such arrange ment the student who elects to study English literature, for example, must study not only English literature but also philosophy, English history, and other related subjects. Not only must he study them but he must also coordinate and integrate them with the rest of his work because he knows that such integration and co ordination will be demanded by the general examination which he must pass. His sphere of study is not seg mented into courses and depart ments. It is expected that his knowl edge of this field will be both thor ough and organized. The advantages of such a system over the present one, which results in an education which has neither depth nor organization, are obvious. BACK TO THE VOTERS Those who have lost patience with the State Senate because it refused to pass the ten-year mill levy bill should remember that it was able to take such action only because it be lieved that it would be supported by the majority of the citizens in the state. If it is true that the citizens will support such a policy the Uni versity cannot expect generous treatment until their attitude has been changed. Mny persons do not understand what tl.'e University is trying to do, what it is actually doing, and how hampered it is in its attempts by the inadequacy of the present physi cal equipment. This fact explains their indifference on the appropria tions question. It devolves upon the University to make sure thai these people cease to be ignorant of existing conditions. It rests, in turn, upon the students to do much of this work of educat ing the voters. When they return home for the spring recess of they will make plain to their parents, and such other voters as they come in contact with, that the University needs money and must have it to effectively handle the students now enrolled, their efforts, in the long run, will have effect. Their person al work will have an effectiveness vjsich is not possessed by ordinary propaganda methods. deed worthy of consideration. Dr, Leacock points to Oxford and its system of tutors; Dean Mackay pleads for fewer lectures, more re search and more individual study on the part of every student. And after all, this tendency in the university is merely the reflection of what is going on in the outer world. For there, indeed, all has reached the "tabloid" stage. News papers are so written as to be easily absorbed; music the finest product of the masters is perverted for the sake of the crowd, served with that sugar coating which may be sweet, but is exceedingly deadly; lecturers come before luncheon clubs clubs to which practical business men rush during noon hour and try to speak to their audiences about various sub jects, covering sacred ground in fif teen short minutes. It is a world of superficiality a grinding, rushing world. And against such a world the uni versity must erect huge barriers and keep the influence out. The stu dents should rather throw themselves into that atmosphere of study and research which differentiates the university from the world in which it is placed. To measure all in "tabloid" by the capacities of the "man on the street" is most certain ly not applicable to the college. Yet with these barriers, which) of seeing the results accomplished by the department and to secure funds to defray the expenses of the meet ing of the Western Inter-collegiate Association which met here.
