You are not yet prepared. This statement reminds us of one recently made within our henring concerning war. It was said that the best way to stop war might be to get nations to agree not to fight until they were prepared and could afford it. If those four questions were an swered truthfully and literally, it is doubtful if any of us would ever be prepared to enter college. However, the ideal is good and deserves our I consideration. If it were lived up i : Notices to, what a would be. different place nnsiNFRS STAFF T Blmpton Morton Buaineaa Manager Richard F. Vetta Aaa't Buaineaa Manager Milton MrGrewCireulation Manager William Kearna Circulation Manager WHATS IT ALL ABOUT? Five freshmen at Cornell Univer sity recently sent forth a belligerent question to the university at large: "What is it all about?" The freshmen had spent two months at the university, and in that time had found "no coherence, no purpose, in their college studies," according to The New Student. So they wanted to know what to do. The college newspaper answered that an orientation course, like that at Columbia university, should be given to all freshmen as a rudimen tary preparation for the real college work. Probably any number of freshmen all over the country would agree, if they wished to be perfectly honest about it, with those Cornell students. Especially those first year students in state universities of Nebraska's size would be willing to admit that they spent their entire first year in a daze, and that the real compre hension of the university attitude as contrasted with the high school view point did not come until well along in the second year. Cornell's suggestion of an orienta tion course is a good one, but it is hardly adequate. The real cause of this bewilderment to which the five freshmen confessed can be found in a statement recently made by Dean Walters of Swarthmore. Registered at the University of California, he said, are 17,101 full time students; BISHOP M'CONNELL The University federation of church workers and the convocations committee of the University are to be congratulated on bringing Bishop Francis J. McConnell to the Nebras ka campus. Every student should make a sincere attempt to hear Bis hop McConnell at least once during his visit in Lincoln. The Bishop's first speech at the University convocation Tuesday morning proved that he is one of the most interesting speakers that has been heard on the Nebraska campus and that he will be remembered for some time after he has gone. College Press ON BEING COLLEGIATE (The Daily Kanaan) "Collegiate" one dictionary gives the meaning, "related to a college," and others assign a similar meaning. We can read or hear of college lit erature, collegiate athletics, or col legiate drama without flinching, even with a little pride at times; but when it comes to hearing the word bandied around by merchants and sales-people as the choice adjective in regard to the prevailing mode, it is almost more than any thinking college per son can endure. To be sure, college trousers may be greater in circumference than the established sixteen inches, and col lege coats may hare lost the cape effect from the waist down, but at that, colleges should not be blamed for the sartorial extravagances that sections of the "garment trust" have managed to thrust upon the shoul ders of their customers under the misnomer of "collegiate."

They obviate the theory that in universi ties of such a size it is impossible to give attention to the individual; the natural corrolary being that some thing is needed to make the indivi dual capable of finding out what everything is about. If no one can take the time to tell a freshman what be wants to know, and to set him right in bis new environment, then some means must be provided which will enable the freshman to tell him self. The solution is not easy. Perhaps it will be found in Glenn Frank's new plan which is under way at the University of Wisconsin the pre paratory college- This plan involves OIKIA CLUB PLANS PARTY FOR FRIDAY University Students Welcome to Dance at Agricultural College Campus The Oikia Club will sponsor a mixer on Friday evening, January 14, at the Students Activity Building on the Agricultural College campus.

Great Opportunity for Graduate Engineers Says Wcstinghouse Man Laziness I Cause of Old Age Laziness is the cause of old age, according to Mrs. Margaret Blair, who has been an instructor in the University of Montana for 25 years. "ChooBe Your Job As You Choose Your Course," is the answer of E. B. Roberts, of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Com pany, Pittsburgh, Pa., to the requests coming to that company from engin eering graduates asking for infor mation regarding the questions which they must face in choosing their Job. His answer is here given in full. "A young engineering graduate faced a leader of industry. "Supposing', said the young grad uate, 'that I am ambitious, am in good health, and have probably more than average intelligence, what chance have I of 'getting somewhere' in the field of engineering?' " 'Well sir,' the leader of industry answered, 'ninety percent of the ex ecutives of this company, including its vice-presidents, its departmental managers, district sales managers, works managers, service managers, and engineers entered the company directly from the engineering schools. Now what of the work to be done? Only forty-three per cent of the people of the United States live in electrically lighted dwellings. Less than two per cent of the rail road mileage of this country has been electrified. Forty-two years have car ried the central stations of the coun try from a single station of 600 kilo watt to a capacity of 23,000,000, andj that is not the end. Only a fraction of our water power has been ex poited. It is reasonably estimated that within the next ten years the total output of electrical energy will be, three times that of the present. The engineering world of the future will be managed by technical grad uates.

Lowry talked on the Art ; largely specialized. According to the theory, the student at the end of two years will be prepared for his additional work, and will be able to enter it with a knowledge of what he is stepping into. The Wisconsin idea is believed by many to offer a remedy for the fault which is at the bottom of the problem suggested by five Cornell freshmen. That fault is that there is too big a gap between high school and univer sity. The individual or institution which finds the true remedy for this fault will be performing one of the greatest educational feats of all time. NOT PREPARED Henry Louis Smith, president of Washington and Lee University, writing in McXaught's Monthly gives tome advice to prep school boys which should be of interest to all oniversity students since it may very easily apply to them. After showing the boys the main difference between prep school and college, that is the difference in the amount of freedom, President Smith ;ks them four quertions as follows: "Question 1.

Quantity production and ser vice make it possible for Mr. Harris to realize a profit at prices which would bankrupt a concern selling only hall as much but with a similar over bead.
