T IT E DAILY NEBRASKAN First Yr Sturanli TaU Oath To Nebraska "I was asked to speak concerning the ideals, the traditions of the Uni versity. Three treat forces underlie your presence here today: first, the people of the state who belive in education, second the education and forethought of your parents who madde it possible, and third your own efforts. "Along the line of University ideals my mind recalls the remarks of a noted educator who, speaking before the biflforeat congregation ever jsthered in this assembly, stated that elementary education rests on three supports, the body, the soul, and the intellect. A sound and vigorous body is necessary for all educational work. The highest spiritual and re ligious desires may be secured from the agencies organized for such pur poses. It is necessary at all times to work in harmony with the other HAROLD LLOYD IN The Freshman ALL WEEK AT THE Lincoln Theatre Rialto Theatre Thursday Friday Saturday "The Knockout" with Milton Sills A First National Picture COMEDY KINOGRAMS, TOPICS, TRAVEL.

"If you succeed in reaching these you will satisfy your own aspirations and receive the applause of the com monwealth which makes this higher education possible." Following the address by the Chan cellor, an ode to Nebraska Univer sity was read by Genevlcvo Clark, president of Mortarboard. Miss Clark was followed by Miss Amanda Hepp- ncr, dean of women, who addressed the freshmen girls. Miss Hcppner said, "On behalf of the women of the University I ex tend to you a cordial welcome. The campus belongs to you. This meet ing must convince you beyond a doubt that tho faculty and students are vitally concerned in your happi ness and success. The nature of this success will depend in a lnrgo mea sure upon your attitude towards the new environment and your readiness to accept the spirit of friendliness and helpfulness which confronts you on every side. Your problem then is tho matter of proper adjustment. The young women are fortunate In having a social center, Ellen Smith Hall, where they will find many op portunities for self-expression and enduring friendships." Miss Heppner said thnt the best medium for this self-expression is participation in activities. Holding aloof from all activities would bo as serious a mistake as indulging in too many activities. It is unnecessary to make any compromise in the ideals and princi ples which have been inculcated by previous training. The failure to adhere to proper standards would be an irretrievable blunder. Your chief reason for coming to college was the desire to acquire learning. The stu dent must realize that studies must come first. Too often the student talks of "getting by," too rarely of getting superior grades. Your ad justment weald be a failure unless you are equally successful in develop ing the mind and the personality. Four wonderful years with immeasur able opportunities lie before you. Will you not make the most of them?" Guy Chamberlain, one-time presi dent of the Innocents, .spoke to the ireshmen on the subject of Univer sity scholarship. In brief his talk is as follows: "Imagine a group of people as large as this group buying tickets for the Notre Dame game. Imagine them coming from many miles, paying rail road fare, hotel bills, and all manner of expenses and then staying away from the game or sitting at the game and paying no attention to it What would you think of them? 'Yet a large number of students come to the University, pay for a room, cav the University fees, and all other expenses necessary to attend and yet pay little or no attention to their studies." The taxpayers maintain this great institution at enormous expense for lone purpose, to make it possible for vou to receive a better education. There are many traditions of the school and one which the freshmen are expected to uphold is the tradi tion of scholarship. Nebraska gradu ates are holding important places in all fields of the educational world. It is up to this class to see that none of its members drop out, to see even that none fail to pass an hour." "Anyone with due application can secure a passing grade. The great; reason for poor scholarship is lack . of application. Will-you raise the institution, through higher scholar-1 ship, in the minds of the people of the state and the legislature and mk it 100 ter cent effective in reaching the educational ideals of a; great university?" Ed Weir, football captain, said, "On behalf of the athletic teams I welcome all the freshmen. We want you to fall in line with the rest of the school and show the spirit that m'n tramps. Remember school worn work is first. We know tha on the athletic field where many good men are lost each year through pnor work in their studies. Let's get together and make it a big year for Nebraska!" Captain Weir was followed by Coach Bearg who told of his pleasure at entering the school with the fresh men. He said. "You freshmen are the ones who will make this school in the next few years plus the fresh men who will come in the next years The freshmen and I are enemies until Saturday I hear. But after Satur day let's all be friends." CoAch Schulte said that the fresh men class coming in 2200 strong war to sdJ to the strength, honor, and glory of the school. He closed with the statements, "If you are yellow nr a cake-eaier. tins Mu.puS L t05 large nad too fine for you. Get off! There are no schools as large am this in America which are as fine as this. Come in with reverence for the old traditions. Wear the cap or hntton as you should. Wear it every day. Wear it until you win the Olympics. You entered of your self. I ant to ask you to support the football team and other campus activities and to play the game as they play it" Fnllowing the talk by Coach Schulte, Robert Lang administered the "Nebraska Oath" as follows: "I cromise that I will work strenu ously to maintain the highest stan dards of University scholarship, real icing that I am here primarily to study and to learn. I swear that I will earnestly aUiv io La 1 fid blooded, square-shooting, fair-playing Cornhusker; that I will strive to maintain Nebraska as one of the greatest universities In the land; and, that I will love and'honor the Scarlet and Cream." Professor G. E. Condra then made a plea for the freshmen to live up to the pledge, to "fight it out along the lines of the pledge, to get the Scarlet and Cream into your hearts and minds." Professor Condra then supervised the taking of still and motion pictures of the class on the lawn southeast of the administration building. Want Students To Get Acquainted placed her as one of the popular en tertainers on the campus, has a few special numbers for the occasion. Dorothy Abel will give an interpre tive dance depicting interesting side lights in modern life. The decorations will be designed to pay homage to the freshman class, fundi and wafers will be served throughout the evening. The usual admission fee of 85 cents will be charged. This party will be given In honor of the class of '29. Both uppcrclass men and freshmen are cordially m vited to attend this "get acquainted" mixer for it is one of the first oppor tunities given to the student body to extend the hand of welcome to the freshmen, to aid in acquainting them with University customs, ideal? and spirit The All-University parties are one of the older traditions on the campus. The students have shown their ap proval of these social events by the large attendance throughout the year. Six parties were held last year. Starting out with a "get acquainted" mixer at which over 700 students were present the parties were distri buted evenly over the school season. This year one extra party has been added to the six of last year. Several of these parties will be held in honor of University . traditions. The cus tom of holding the parties in the Armory will be followed until the new field house reaches final com pletion. The dates for the parties are: October 24 (Homecoming), No vember 21, December 13 (Christmas) January 16, February 13 (Valen tine), March 27 (Spring party). BANKERS AND FARMERS CONFER AT AG CAMPUS Ninety-three bankers and farmers from Douglas, Sarpy, Cass and Otoe counties, attended the second day of the banker-farmer conference in ses sion at the Agricultural College this week. These meetings ares a part of the Nebraska Banker-Farmer Plan o co-operation instituted within tho last few months. The program it in charge by members of tho College faculty. The interest is increasing as shown by the increase in attendance of twenty-three over yesterday. yb The program is the same each day except for a few minor changes. Prof. Myron II. Swenk, state ento mologist, spoke on Hessian fly con trol substituting for Dr. L. Van Es. Tho Hessian fly has given some trouble in the section of tho state represented and it was thought best to mnko the change. T. H. Pollock, prominent banker of riattsmouth, was leader of the group. .. FAIR GRADING .. Even an amateur reformer can find plenty of reform, though some times he cannot do much good alonq the line of actual improvement of existing evils. Most of them are not reformable. More storms of crticism probably have been directed against the grad ing system than even the weather. Perhaps it would be better to say grading systems, for the methods used in rating students class work averages evidently range from care- full consideration to more simple guesswork. Some professors have been accused of grading the papers by throwing them downstairs. Charges of favorism are in nearly all cases unjustified. A great deal of the unsatisfactory grading occurs because the work of the student is not considered from enough angles by the instructor. Most frequently an instructor is inclined to lay far too much stress upon the examina tion. The more considerate teacher wat ches the attitude of the student in class, his interest, any evidences of work being done outside the class room, his comprehension of the course. That teacher watches for foolish remarks, signs of a poor un derstanding of the subject, and for carelessness. Unexpected quizzes are unfair to some of the class if too much (tress Is put on the paper written the very SUrpHre Is Spt to Tirt rortaln atn. dents who are really very well in formed on the work, and cause them to fall down badly. The more points the instructor has with which to sup plement examination grades, the more fairly he can grade. ' Of course one favorite answer is that grades are not everything, and it is only what the student actually knows that counts anyway. But this is a make shift answer and is no solution whatever. More times than a student is aware, his grades are used to classify him in the opinion of his fellow students) Even one who assumes to care the least about his own grades, when he wishes to give another his highest recommendation will say, "Ho is a good student und makes grades," and for this reason, the capable instruc tor will use fairness and consider as many factors as possible every time he makes out tho reports.
