FRESHMAN MINDS
An alumnus of the University of
Illinois returned to the campus and
asked six freshmen why they had
come to college. The first replied,
"I figure if a fellow goes to college
he's got a little edge on the other
fellows. He can make money a little
easier. That's the reason I came."
The other five said practically the
same thing.
There is nothing surprising about
such a report of interviews with
freshmen. It would be astounding
if very freshmen from ordinary Main
streets, having had success blah on
the left and get-rich blah on the right
ever since they were old enough to
read magazines and hear orators,
should make a different reply. It
is only natural that young people
should reflect the ideas of the com
munities from which they come.
But when the alumnus interviewed
a senior, he was told, "Sure that's
what we come here for to learn
how to make money." This state
ment should xause educational lead
ers some alarm. If a student can
study the kind of things which it is
a college's especial duty to teach, I
can work under the kind of men that
college professor's should be, and
live four years in the environment
which a great University should ere
ate, and still believe that the acqui
sition of wealth is the main object
of life, there is something wrong. A
University which has no more brains
and no better philosophy than the
market-place is not worth very much.
Young men and women might just
as well be sent out on to the street
immediately.
We sincerely hope that this sen
lor was but one in a thousand. We
hope that there are few upperclass
men at the University of Nebraska
who would make a similar reply. But
such reports as this, which was pub
lished in The Cosmopolitan Maga
zine, may do much to lower the pub
lic s estimate, not only of the Uni
versity of Illinois, but of all the
larger state universities.
WHY NOT WALK?
"Shall we walk or ride, Lucille?"
may become a not uncommon ques
tion m future pourparlers for week
end engagements if the "walk your
date" movement trains headway.
And Lucille, if she is the nice
companionable little co-ed that she
is pictured to be, will demurely
whisper, "Why certainly Arthur,
let's walk. I need the exercise so
much, and the air will do us both
good. It's so stuffy in these cars,
anyway."
And Arthur will Jeave the tele
phone convinced that Lucille is the
most wonderful being in creation.
Arthur and Lucille may do this,
but what about the rest of the men
and women on the campus. The of
fice cynic is inclined to think "tut,
tut, what's the rush? Trying to re
vamp human nature within a week?"
The male of the specie no less than
the female is soaked with a gall of
pride which ages have been unable
to wash out. What male is there
who would endanger his lofty posi
tion as protector and supporter of
the weaker sex by hinting that walk
ing be the order of the evening?
Very few, says the cynic.
It has to be a well advanced case,
he thinks, before such a self-incrimi-
natnig suggestion is even thought of.
And at that he ended, keeping up
with the Joneses, in this case, Lincoln
resident students will always cause
more or kss students to hire equip
ages for the evening. And the liv
eries can't raise the prices too high
or the boys brinjj their own hoopies
from the village sercpheap.
WHAT OF THE FUTURE?
Recently the University of Ne
braska Field Honse was used for the
first time. With its completion the
University will havj the use of the
Its;; Krgr for which officials have
evked for twenty years. A gift of

ment for many years to come. But
what are we to do about the needs,
or the alleged needs, of the other
and by far the more important
branches of the University? The
1925 Nebraska legislature, convin
ced of the need of at least a limited
building program at the university,
appropriated $900,000 to be used by
the University Regents in continu
ing their building plans for the next
two years.
This amount was indeed a liberal
allowance for the two-year period.
At the time the grant was made,
friends of the university were trying
to persuade the legislature to pass a
one-eighth mill tax levy, which was
to have run over a ten-year period
the proceeds to be used in the
building program. Had this levy
been passed, it would have given tho
University approximately $8,000,000
to be used for buildings alone dur
ing the coming decade.
There is little doubt that the leis
lature 'wished to side-step the de.cl
8ion of approving or disapproving
that particular appropriation meas
ure, in order to open tne sessions
for further business, opponents of
the proposed levy affected the pass-
age of a compromise measure in the
form of a bill appropriating $900,
000 for the ensuing two years.
This action of the 1925 legislature
leaves the problem of further ap
propriation for building at the Uni
versity still unsolved. The money
provided last year has already been
apportioned by the Regents, and has
served to take care of only a small
part of the proposed campus exten
sion. With every prospect for a
continued increase in enrollment in
the next ten years, University offl
cials assert that some step must be
taken to provide ample facilities for
handling a larger student body.
The problem of building and cam
pus extension at the University of
Nebraska is one of vital importance
to everyone in the state. Can we
afford to allow our school to come to
standstill in this era of enlight
enment and education? What are
the needs of the University and why
should we support it by further tax
appropriations? These are questions
upon which every Nebraska voter
must decide before the next election.
University men and women can do
much to shape the vote on this meas
ure, by aiding in the dissemination
of accurate information about the
University.

RENT-A-FLAME
Long years ago on dry prairies a
little flame, stirred by the winds,
would burst into a sweeping fire,
race with vengeance across the
stretches of pioneer territory and
leave destruction in its wake. Today
in a spot of the old prairie region
a little whisper of sentiment, fed by
the breeze of righteous indignation
broke into a murmur, rumbled
threateningly and then burst into a
resounding cry of a general move
ment. The analogy is not effective
except for one fact, that the flame

At the Eargnf'.l Counter
of indignation in human nature,
stirred by injustice, can burst into
the fire of sweeping assertion, just as
did the little flame on the dry prairie
Do we want to leave destruction in
the wake of our movement? Abso
lutely notl We want to build before
us the structure of saner customs,
tearing down the extravagant fabrics
of one, which has caused us to drain
our pocketbooks constantly before
we had time to spend our money up
on other things, more worthwhile.
The majority of students in our
University are of average means and
we wish to impress the fact strong
ly upon the rent-a-Ford combination.
If they cannot see the logic in our;
reasoning, if they cannot see that we
are fighting for something more than
the non-payment of the advance in
rates, they are viewing our opposi
tion with a superficial gaze. Why do
we find it unnecessary to even at
tempt a secret boycott? Merely
because we know it to be illegal?
Absolutely not. This inefficient
but sincere writer can tell the rea
son. The MEN of the University are
red-blooded men, the majority of
whom were born on the soil of Ne
braska, or upon near-by soil whose
people were equally as democratic.
The GIRLS are not of the weak,
butterfly type who live enfolded in
the delicate fabric of silly depend
ence or superficial convention. They
are daughters or the region where the
west begins; "where the hand
clasps is a little stronger, and the
smile lasts a little longer."
Our UNIVERSITY PAPER, three
cheers for it, is back of what is right
and the men behind it have the spirit
which helps to build for progress.
Our FACULTY, bless 'em, may be
sanely conservative but the element
of good sportsmanship is strong with
in them, and they too, are for the
movement which is right.
That is the reason we do not have
to institute a secret boycott. That
is why we are out in the open with
our operations, which are founded

upon voluntary action. Let the
rent-a-ford companies show resent
ment. If they refuse to make a
substantial reduction, the student
body can and will WALK. In fact
the urge is strong right now to go
all the way in abolishing the custom
of riding in rent-a-fords, and as one
girl so aptly termed it, of learning to
turn corners scientifically. SNOW
does not weaken our morals, but if
the rent-a-ford companies wish to
continue praying for it, let them,
prayer will not hurt business men.
So, in the name of the men of
the University, this writer thanks the
co-eds and expresses real gratitude
to the Daily Nebraskan. In this in
direct fashion he thanks Mr. Peterson
of the Alumni Bureau for his aid in
gaining public recognition of our
movement. The sweep of the fire
will carry us through. Spring is only
a few steps away, fellows, let's walk
to it and through it; for, it is true
we Americans are athletic. E. F.D.
