THE CURTAIN FALLS
With this the finAl issue of the
semester, w make our final bow
before our Audience of University
students And instructors. Our Act
is about over And with an inter
mission of a little more than a week.
the new act will start on February 1
when the new staff will issue its first
paper.
It is only natural that we should
look back over the semester at this
time since we have no future to
which we can look forward. We find
that although the semester has not
been as eventful as many and not as
eventful as we might have wished,
still there have been a few high spots
during the period.
We have supported one or two
things which have materialized some
how or other. We have attacked a
few things from which we have been
able to discern a small degree of re
action. We have been vigorously at
tacked ourselves and for this we are
duly grateful. If more of that had
happened we would probably be more
reluctant to leave the office.
But on the whole the semester has
been uneventful. "If we had it to do
over again," as the saving goes, we
would do much differently. We
would start right out picking a fight
with somebody in the very first issue.
We would take the thirtg on the cam
pus which we thought was the worst
menace to the welfare of the in
stitution and we would attack it as
vigorously and as heartily as time
and the law of libel would permit.
Then we would take the next big
gest thing which we found wrong
and attack it in the same way and
so on down. In fact, we would do
just what we promised the readers of
The Daily Xebraskan on September
17 that we would not do start at
tacking. It is unfortunate that a person
must learn for himself what to do
and what not to do with his job and
then just when he is beginning to
learn it, he has to quit. We had been
told many times that the only way to
get a reaction on this campus was to
start attacking things and people,
but no we thought we knew better
than that. We thought that by en'
couraging, by praising, by boosting
here and there we could produce the
best results.
Consider for a moment one of the
statements we made in our first
editorial of the semester: "It will be
our honest and sincere purpose dur
ing the coming semester to interpret
the news of the University in such
a way that it will provoke thought
particularly among the students."
Such conceit seems impossible to
us now. Imagine anyone provoking
thought on this campus by interpret
ing the news!
"If we are able, even in a small
degree, to start students thinking
about the problems around them we
will feel well repaid for our efforts."
Well, we should think so. If we could
start students 'thinking about the
problems around them we should not
only feel well repaid, the University
should erect a new stadium in our
honor.
There is one thing wrong on this
campus and nearly every other evil
can be traced directly to that. That
is, the absolute lack of interest
Nothing shrt of a carload of TNT
could move this student body as it
is now. '
We lament the fact that the stu- I
dent elections are crooked. Who
cares? We print column after column
upon the military drill question. Who
cares? We bemoan and bewail the
Viselessuess of large numbers of cam
pus organizations. Who cares? WTe
gnash our teeth and ruffle up our
back and emphatically deny the
(.hargag that: the Ncbraskan is sup
pressed. Who cares?
j -1'y nb0,-r, comparatively speaking-,
cares. There are a few students,
maie a hundred or so, who are in
terested in what is going on around
the University. The rest are Just
like ao many blanks. The participat-
part of this student bod is such
a small percentage of the enrollment
that it is really amazing.
Perhaps that is what our universi
ties will develop into in the future
mere machines of education, just like
the automatic restaurants where you
put in a nickel and get your plate
of beans. Bat if that is all they are
ft'iirg to be ve'd better stop erecting

LESS BOOK LEARNING

before the American Association of
Colleges recently for less "book
learning" for undergraduates. Dr.
Mason recommended that students
be given greater opportunity for re

routine of classes.

and more how Pr. Mason's plan re

a marked course in college education.

ter two years of the conventional
four-year coure, to specialized re
search.
Dr. Mason expressed the principle
of the now theory this way: "It often
seems as if our administrative ma
chine is based on the assumption that
students come to college to resist
education. I wonder if students do
not come with more idealism than we
give them credit for. It seems to
me that the success of a college or
a university consists in choosing well
the problems it attempts to solve.
Administration can pretty much take
care of itself. Culture, like happi
ness, must be obtained by indirection.
It is my hope that research and prob
lem solving will be found so stimu
lating to the student that he will be
inspired to train himself."
Dr. Mason and Dr. Frank and all
the other far-sighted educators may
be assured that if students are given
a chance to follow some definite line
of study they will come around to the
books naturally enough. Every stu
dent knows the drudgery that is plac
ed upon him by the dull routine of
attending class, reading part of a
chapter as assigned, writing a paper,
and attending class again.
Drudgery and routine have no
place in the college or university, for
they create, whether the student
wills it or not, an aversion to any
work other than that which is ab
solutely necessary to "get by". The
average student is without an objec
tive, and wanders about sticking
timid fingers into a number of dif
ferent pies. It is up to the educators
to give those students a chance for
individual, creative work.
years in order to cultivate a love, of
war!
Why won't the "Rag" publish ma

show any interest? The Omaha pa

New York papers, which are all nat-1 s

Introductory
In our series of advertise
ments, "Little Stories about the
Central Cafe", just completed,
we have told something regard
ing the policy of Manager Har
ris, his insistence on cleanliness
in' all things, high quality of the
food, courteous service, and
moderate prices.
That his policy is good, is
best evidenced by the success
which he has achieved. For a
good many months the Cafe,
although not of very large seat
ing capacity, has served, night
and day, rather more than one
person every minute of time
during the period.. Last Octo-'
ber tho figures were one person
served every 59 seconds.
Something over four years
ago four and a third years
the building housing the Central
Hotel and Cafe was remodeled
and a terrazzo floor laid. Dur
ing the period from the comple
tion of the remodelling to the
end f December, 1926, two
and a half million persons have
been served. Or rather, that
many services have been render
ed in the period.
His aim to secure quantity
induction and keep his plant
and equipment operating as
nearly full capacity as possible,
has enabled Manager Harris to
make his prices moderate in
fact, very much lower than
similar service could be secured
if the Cafe were running at less
than 50 per cent of its capacity.
This is a commonplace in other
lines of business, but few have
considered it in connection with
hotel and cafe service.
