V-.-tie .Circulation Manager A JOB WELL DONE One of the strongest arguments in favor of intercollegiate athletics as they exist today is seldom men tioned. The present intense compe tition results in such a striving for perfection as commands the admir ation of every human being. There is a great satisfaction in doing a job well, and there is considerable pleasure in watching another do his task in a manner which approaches perfection. Now the criticism of athletics ouite frequently, although not al ways, comes from the jealous class mates of the highly praised gridiron or track stars. It comes from the scholars, from singers, from editors, and talkers, who feol that their ef forts are not appreciated as are those of jumpers and runners. But, perhaps, the athletes get the major share of the applause because they earn it rather than because of any deficiency in mankind. The athletes do their work well. They approach much nearer perfec tion in their chosen field than the scholars and editors do in the sup posedly superior fields. Nebraska can produce a world champion runner but who among the undergraduate intelligentia has won distinctions of similar greatness in other activities? Perhaps, Mr. Locke and Mr. Weir and the others get the newspaper headlines because they eventually deserve them. undergraduates to realize that snap judgments on this matter will not secure the desired end." Yale has taken a novel step in ask ing its undergraduates to fill out a long questionnaire, giving facts of their past and present, In order that the university may recommend their future for them. No other Eastern university, it is believed at New Ha ven, has decided to obtain such a long and searching list of facts re. garding the history and preferences of its students. Announcement of the character of the investigation was quickly followed by murmurs of pro test from a small part of the stu dent body followed by lusty defense of the university action by the ma. jority.

By way of explanation, it may be said that Vikings is a society which exists for the sole and exclusive purpose of honoring junior men. Those members of the junior class who haven't got over their freshman zeal for organizations, usually get an opportunity to be Vikings. Oc casionally the society gives a party, but it does nothing for. the promo tion of that Cornhuskerism which the "big men" worship. It does not perpetuate any great and essential tradition of nonsense such as that made sacred by the hot air of Iron Sphinx. There is one really valid reason, however, for holding Vikings in high esteem. They are modest. They did not furnish the newspapers with a list of new members. One can as sert without fear of successful con tradiction that there is not another organization on the campus which does not boast of its membership. The most often heard objection to Vikings is that the organization does scarcely anything except initiate new members. But, pshaw, all good organizations are like that. Take Phi Beta Kappa, for example. THE COLLEGE BOOM (Nebraska State Journal) With the month only partly gone. it looks as if Lincoln building per mits might make a new April record If this happens, the new sorority and frateiity houses will be to thank. Nearly $200,000 worth of houses for these organizations are going into the April building sta. tistics. The extraordinary present day rush to the college affects, as we see, the building operations of all college towns. The Greek alphabet is hard put to it, such is the swell in stu- dents, to furnish initials for all the fraternities needed to go around. Small cities of fraternity cottages ap. pear in college towns. Such is the physical result of the educational boom. What the further effects are to be had is another mat ter. When we had no great amount of education in this country we had profound faith in the all-saving grace or education. Just educate us, and all problems, all inefficien cies, would dissolve in the new light thereof. After twenty years of unpreced ented growth in schooling the col lege boom has its match in the high schools also Utopia is still conced- edly around the corner. We call ourselves more lawless than twenty years ago, more frivolous, more in tolerant. Of coarse, education could not utterly remodel the stubborn human race in fifteen or twenty years. But we are disappointed. We can't even spell, the old folks say. A discerning spirit of skepticism, a doubt whether sending the young sters to school is after Ml the pana cea we used to think it was, ia visi bly creeping over us. In our disillusionment we are cast ing suspicious glances at educational practices. Maybe we aren't going about our education aright. Educa tional issues are creeping into pub lic discussion and into politics. We have our colleges and nearly a mil lion students in them and education taxes a-plenty, and we are just be ginning to consider what education is or ought to be. We shouldn't be surprised if, as the years pass and the college students multiply still more, we quarrel and debate over education as universally and as fiercely as once we quarreled ana debated over religion. YALE UNDERGRADUATES The New York World recently gave the following news story the lead ing position in its column of college news: Declaring that "it is a rather new thing in Yale !ife to find the under graduate asking for a full share in the management of the institution," the Yale Alumni Weekly says that the present year is to see several campus questions 'argued out and some action probably resulting. "There will be, for one thing," the weekly says, "a thorough inquiry into the good and bad points of the pres ent honor system. There will be an effort tF the Yale Paily News to bring tbout campus opinion and pan it on, through the Student Council, to the legislative bodies of the faculty and the corporation for action. There will be an effort to rid the students of the so-called paternalistic attitude of the authorities, with special re gard to monitor systems and rigid enforcement of cuts and marks for minor delinquencies. There will be a determined effort to secure free dom of attendanee upon regular classroom work of upperclassmen who maintain high standings. There will be a general and thoughtful movement toward honor courses for men who wish to do special work in connection with their course. There lnins ahead a student demand for .list furrn of tutorial system for ,;if( puch as is now being worked out ; o'L.t universities.

' n this .: - .; r t - Dean LeRossignol Publishes New Book (Continued from Page One) the chapters, and does not lose sight of the other human values. Considers Wealth and Weal The last chapter on "Wealth and Weal" considers wealth and poverty in relation to happiness. "Happiness," states Dean LeRoss ignol in this last chapter, "for both rich and poor is not so much the goal of human endeavor as a by product of activity and strutrtrle. nhv sical and mental, in the development of human personality. It is not the prizes of life that count most, but fighting a good fight and plavine the game. "If so, it follows that, in most cases, as individuals and races ascend the ladder of economic progress to higher plants of thought and action, they enjoy a richer, fuller, and hap pier life."

Lecturer Talks On Personal Adornment (Continued From Fage One) giving permanence to body adorn ment by pricking the skin in designs and working colored pigments into the wound. Science has taken a hand in the latter and tattooing, which has re cently come more into vogue, is now done by an electric needle, which method is less painful than the primi tive one. Tattooing has come to be quite a commercialized art, with 1500 people making a living in that way and vieing with ach other for ori ginality and beauty of pattern. Telia of Evolution of Clothe The evolution of clothes formed the next part of the lecture. The coat appeared during the reign of Charles II in England, and the slit in the back pf some of the present- day coats is a reminder of the days when men rode horseback constantly and the slit in the coat was necess ary. The buttons on the coat cuff, use less today, were formerly used with buttonholes to enable the wearer to turn back his coat cuffs when work ing, for coats were expensive then and one couldn't afford many. During the reign of Henry VIII collars appeared in the form of starched frilled ruffs which, in time, grew so large that their size 'had to be regulated by law. The ministers of that day, constantly criticizing clothes, called these the "devil's cart wheels." These finally evolved into plain ruffs such as the puritans wore. The Irish appear to have been the originators of shoes, which were at first simply pieces of leather with holes in them to make them fit bet ter. Today's shoes with cutout de signs are relics of that day. Beautiful straight gowns were worn by the early Greeks and an un successful attempt was made to re vive them during the Napoleonic era. Woman would have her fur belows though, and the Wheel Far thing Belt, a form similar to a buggy wheel with much goods ovr it, ori g nated in the Elizabethan era. Exact replicas of these gowns are to be seen in- the ' production of "the Student Prince." Hoop Skirts Worn Being entirely too bung1. -some for comfort, these were soon banished but a semblance of their form was brought back by Queen Anne in the shape of a hoop skirt, which differed from the Wheel Farthing in that the hoop skirts were large at the bot tom instead of the top. Hoop skirts were worn by the women in this country during the early days after they had disappeared in England. Hair dressing provided a form of competit'jn during the reign of Louis XIV. Coiffures were ar ranged in the most grotesque shapes imaginable, and required experts to fix them. This expression ' of vanity was greatly ridiculed. "Extreme as some of these styles may have been," concluded Miss Shanafelt, "there is a great deal of truth in the statement 'clothes make the man and it seems to me that clothes, next to food, have played the most important part in life because they give man a self-assurance and sense of power essential to progress."
