WHAT ACTIVITY?
About this time of year the urpor
classmen of tho fraternities aro
starting freshmen in activities.
To "start" a freshman means this:
lie is brought to tho hend of Borne
nt-tivity by tho upperclnssmnn with
tho request that ho bo "put to work."
Thnt sometimes ends tho matter;
though occnsionnlly the uppcrclnss
men drops around to see how his
protcgo is coming on.
Usually little thought is used in the
starting process. Frehsmen are
sometimes started in activities in
which they have no interest what
ever. Their only guide is the "You
do this!" of the upperclassman. Per
haps the freshman is well placed;
perhaps he likes his activity. On
the contrary, he may not, and he gets
the ideas that all activities are tire
some and of little value.
Now, The Nebraskan holds no par
ticularly robust brief for activities
as such. If the student is interest
ed in the activity in which he is en
gaged, and if he will profit by it,
that is excellent. But if he is en
gaged in amassing a list of achieve
ments to run after his name in the
. Cornhusker, he is really deluded.
To be a' Prominent Man on the
Campus is not an end in life, as some
people think. If one becomes a Big
Man incidentally in the pursuit of
those things in which he is interest
ed, he will profit thereby.
Let the upperclassmen whd are
"starting" freshmen remember this.
The likes and dislikes of the fresh
men, and their objects when they
leave school, should be consulted.
There are men who would do excell
ently on the Cornhusker business
Btaff who would be sadly misplaced
at tl.i Y. M. C. A. And there arc
others who might make excellent
members of The Nebraskan editorial
staff who are succeding only indif
ferently in soliciting ads.
There are, in addition, some men
who should never be in activities.
Their interests may bo entirely in
their classes, and they may regard
with petulance any invasion of their
time for study. Also, there are men
who have difficulty with their stu
dies and who must devote so much
timp rn mereW kppp shovn thi pnss-
ing mark that they have no time for
extra-curricular work.
In most activities the non-fraternity
man has as good a chance as the
member of a Greek letter group.
That there are more fraternity men
in activities is due to two things:
first that fraternity freshmen are

pushed Into them and kept there;
nnd second, because a non-fratonlty
man who shows signs of rising is
usually snappod up by somo frater
nity. Usually tho men who reach the
top Ji. any activity are interested in
it. To work in an activity for tho
glory only is soldom successful and
tho men who do so usually drop out
after a year or two. Upperclassmen
will profit If they remember this.
WANTED MORE MANAGERS
Tho disappointing turnout of men
for athletic managerships this your
has been a surprise to those con
nected with tho department. Instead
of an over-supply of candidates as
with other activties, thero is a dis
tinct shortage.
This condition is probably due to
tho fact that tho man who foils t
reach the top gets small honor, if
any at ull. To be a Junior manager
counts for littlo and two yours of
genuine work seems to bo uhout
wasted unless ono gets tho position
of senior manager.
A change in thu system, to make
the managers servo for ull sport
seems to be n failure. Tho system
was devised to give a more fuvorulile
outlook for the sophomore candi
date, but tho candidates seem to
have missed that point.
Working as a manager is not par
ticularly enjoyable. Thero is little
thut can be considered interesting.
To attract candidates, therefore,
somo system must bo devised by
which the reward can bo distributed
over a larger number, or, in other
words, so tho percentage against the
candidate is not so great.
To be constructive we should sug
gest something. But we ore at a
losa as to a remedy. .Some one with
a greater bump for constructive
thinking must do that.

THE EVERLASTING YEA
Every man who thinks at all ar
rives some time sooner or later at
a place where he is assailed by
overwhelming spiritual and moral
doubts and misgivings, and his con
ceptions of right and wrong and his
ideas of God are shaken. Ho won
ders if there be a God, and if so,
what manner of a Being he is. He
wonders if after all there is any such
thing as right, or wrong. His con
ceptions of God he finds inadequate,
his standards of values, unsatisfact
ory. He founders in a quagmire of
uncertainty, his condition the more
pitiable because it is incomprehensi
ble to him. All he believes has been
routed, and all he hoped apparently
denied. No longer able to say either
"This is wrong,' or "This is right;"
or "There is a God," or "There is
no God," the man in- despair is ready
to cry out, "There is neither right

This state of mind descends on
men while they are in college moro
than at any other time, and very na
turally so, too. Mon enter collego
with fairly definito ideas of beha
viour, and fairly well formed con
ceptions of religion, definite and
well formed because they have never

their ideas unquestioning, and P"-,,

tho ideas and standards are there,
but never pressed to tho point of ex
amining them. In collego for tho
first time men encounter totally
alien ideas, totally foreign standards;

ects and personalities they admire,

mnn finds crroot forces and move
ments counter to beliefs ho thought
universal. He finds thot his stand
ards, which ho regarded as indisput
able, aro on tho contrary strongly
lisputcd, and rejected altogether b
rreut numbers of persons his intel
lectual superiors. He finds his stand
ards condemned by many, and de
fended but indifferently by n few.
These differences he never imagined
existed he is astonished to discover
and ill equipped to dispute. The
differences lire not of dogma, nor
creed nor doctrine, but deep lying,
fundamental principles of life;
whether there is a ri;ht and wrong
in anything, and whether or no thero
is a God. Many men, if not most,
enter college with inadequate bnses
for tho beliefs they hold on these
principlcs. If these men are to grow
spiritually, they must improve these
beliefs, and lay them on a firm foun
dations. They enter college, where
for tho first time they must choose
between sandards, between religious
beliefs. These new standards and
beliefs are strange and oft times ter
rible to them, and likely they will
find nothing in college lifo quite like
their own private conceptions. Tho
conceptions thnt seem to them de
sirable in the light of their new learn
ing, aro so new that they hesitate ev
en to embrace them. The only thing
left to them is an instinctive belief ;
that they know what is right, and j
that there is a God. But to be intel
lectually honest they must satisfy
themselves that their beliefs are
good beliefs.
Lacking the intellectual maturity
to recognize the' fallacies and so
phistries of the irreligious and tho
immortal, torn from their old beliefs
and neither able nor willing to tie
fast to a new, the doubters are swept
and buffeted by tempests and storms
of indecision, then feet leave the
ground, and they feel themselves ov-
ercomo by the impossibility of know
ledge Where is one of theso to turn for
help? Few men understand his pre
dicament, and fewer could holp him.
Indeed, often he scarce knows him
self tho cause of his trouble.
There is only ono placo he can turn
for help, only ono place where ho
can banish his uncertainty, only one
pluce whero the confusion of mind
.i Vnnrt run he ordered. Tho

th() .tnm,ardll he WOuld cherish,
