CN SPORTSMANSHIP
Whoever has seen an athletic con
test in which a team, hopelessly out
classed, fought grimly until the final
whistle, knows of that never-say-die
spirit called "sportsmanship "
Th word includes many things,
and among these is sportsmanship
for the fan or spectator as well as
the participant.
This year Coach E. E. Bearg faces
a peculiar situation. It seems to De
about a toss-up whether he will have
a winning team or not.
Th plm confidence now prevalent
that the material he has to work with
this year is far above the average is
not justified. One end, a tackle,
guard, and back, must be developed
to fill the daces of missing regulars.
There are only five genuine regulars
back.
It is true that of these regulars,
two are stars, but an all-American
tackle and an all-Valley back cannot
make a whole football team.
TTnnn the new material, then de
pends the success of the '25 football
team. If the new men develop well,
the team should be strong, but that
is problematical. .
Now, in case the team has a dis
couraging season, the usual knocking
of the coach will probably begin. Ne
braska, we recrret to say. has achieved
a reputation of being a hard school
nn a poach. The loss of a few games,
regardless of the circumstances,
starts the critics.
Thia craze for victory at all costs
is one of the greatest evils of college
life today. Nothing but the winning
of games will satisfy the students.
If Nebraska loses some games thi?
let the students exhibit their
sportsmanship by supporting the
team as well as if it were winning
and to look farther into the matter
than the score sheet
In that way the football fans may
show their sportsmanship.
Knowing The Instructor.
Certain students early betray a
kind of fetish fear of their instruc
tors. And yet they are diligent in
their work, and seek honestly to mas
ter it. Continuing in their fear, they
may absorb the mere subject matter
made available, they may find plea
sure in delving in musty corners for
choice bits of knowledge concerning
their hobby subject
Even so, they have lost much of
that association for which the in
structor method of subject presen
tation was adopted and is continued.
One can increase one's knowledge
throuirh diligent book research and
attentive class room attendance. One
can refuse that knowledge only by
thinking concerning it. Concen
trated thought on any one subject
is, to most students, an impossibility
There is a constant incoming of in
formation, an incoming into what is
often a dormant brain.
Discussion, serious and intellectu
al, is a valuable adjunct in the as
similation of accumulated knowledge,
in makine it of real value. But dis
cussions often degenerate into ses
sions of uncertain educational value,
A serious minded student who can
overcome the almost universial fear
of his instructor, who can bring him
iwlf to converse witl.out constraint
with his instructor, will find avenues
of aunroach to any subject widened
immeasurably. In momentary chats
with his instructors, on what ever
corner he meets them, his interest in
new bits of information, his desire
trt h able to impart some fragmen
tary note of real value, will ao heigh
ten his interest that he will gain
knowledge untold.
When friendship grows between
faculty member and student there
will como a closer and deeper inti-

macy in subject discussions. Flea
aurBble, worth-while, luxurious eve
nings of "shop talk" ensue, lhe stu
dent sees the vision of more com
plete knowledge. He merges, in his
attitude, from the student to the
scholar. The end of the educational
system is reached through the full
employment of the means.
One means, not the least import
ant of which is close association be
tween instructor and student, is not
available to that student who fears
his instructor. The leader of the
course cannot do all himself. The
student who overcomes his fetish fear
may easily become a scholar. His
brother student goes out from the in
stitution a mere college man.
PUBLISH ARTICLE
BY PROF. WESEEN
1 1-:-.;. Fnirliih Instructor
Author of Lively Criticiam
Of Business Letters.
"Answering Your of Recent Date'l
is the title of a lively article by Pro
(Vccnr MnnricA II. Weseen of the
Fno-lish dfnnrtment of the Univer
sity, pubblished in the August num
ber of "Business" in which he de
plores the character of most of the
business letters written today. The
same article was largely reprinted
in the Literary Digest of August 22
with favorable and interesting com
ments. Professor Weseen maintains that
the number of letters which reaches
the dead-letter office yearly, huge
as it is, is not as great a concern
as the still larger volume of letters
that are dead because they are cut
and dried. Such letter will exert
some influence of some kind. "The
imnression will be either good or bad,
either positive or negative, either
favorable or unfavorable," declares
the writer. "Therein lies the im
portance the danger, too of the
delivered message, in its potential in
fluence for good or ill."
Professor Weseen states that the
potential power of the business letter
is being recognized and that leading
business institutions of every class
throughout the country are making
extensive efforts to develop corres-
Dondents who can produce taking
letters. The stereotyped expressions
such as "Thanking you in advance"
and "Beg to remain" which place the
letter in the cut and dried class have
come down from a time when a letter
was regarded as a formal document
and was written in legalistic and
high-sounding terms. The tendency
in good correspondence is toward a
sirrrole and conversational style. As
an aid to improved letters, he advises
the writer to visualize the reader and
to "Write as you talk" to which ad
monition he adds "Be sure that you
talk clearly, correctly, and courte
ously."

WILL RE-DEDICATE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH

ing Capacity Enlarged. '
Re-dedication services for tho
University Episcopal church at Thir

mer months will be held Sunday
morning at 11 o'clock, with Right
Reverend E. V. SLaylor, bishof of

sermon . Governor and Mrs. Adam

The church which formerly con
sisted of one auditorium has been
greatly increased in seating capacity,
and the structure raised several feet
for an undercroft with class club,
and social rooms. Offices and a kit-!
chen havo likewise been added. Light- j
ing fixtures have been installed new
throughout, and the interior re-j
decorated.. On the outside a new!
roof has been built, and the walls

The University church occupies a
place in church organizations in the '
matter of membership which is made '
up entirely of students, who carry
on the woik of the church.
There are student ushers ,n stu
dent choir, organist, choir director,
violinist, and student acolyte.
The church was formerly for
twenty-five years a parish church un
der the name of St. Luke's church.
Three years ago it was donated to
the diocese by the congregation, to
be used as a student church. Ihe
church grew so rapidly in its first
three years as a student church that

THE DAILY NEBR ASK
IT'S ALL IN THE
POINT OF VIEW
Newspaper columnists are not of
necessity philosophers. But out of
the ranks of paid "funny men" came
George Edson with a touchstone of
humor. "You don't have to be
funny," is hia advice to aspiring
columnists. "Just look around and
the world will be funny for you, for
it's a funny place."
How amusingly our world acts
for us this little world bounded on
the south by eating houses, on the
east by poison-oak covered hills and
temporary shacks which houso the

the west a parade ground.
We watch the trembling initiate
submit to orders from his "brothers."
How tho neophyte must laugh as he
trundles the grape along tho street
with his nose, past tho house where
the dance is held, if ho thinks that
the "brother" on tho porch is juvenile-minded
enough to think tho per
formance funny.
Then there is the brass-lined chest.
How funny it is to retrospect on tho
ways and means by which it was ac
quired, the political friends who used
their "pull" and the hours the decor

less drudgery. What a gratesque
spectacle that is to anyone but the
owner of the shiny bit of brass that
represents achievement.
But one of the funniest thingh in
this kaleidoscope we call a college
is th escriousness with which we face
"gTape rollings," failures to attain
the coveted brass, poor marks and
the blows to our poor little political
ambitions. Yet it is funny but to
