NO AXE TO GRIND
More enemies gained than friends. That's the
usual record a college editor has to show for his term.
The reason for it is simple enough. The few peo
ple who happen to be pleased soon forget. The many
vhose toes are trampled on, never forget.
The editor has two courses open. One is to write
such sweet, blue bonnet editorials that no one can take
offense. The other is to write without fear or favor
as he honestly believes.
The latter course is the one the present editor ol
The Daily Nebraskan purposes to follow.
The difficulties which a college editor encounters
are in many ways greater and more complex than the
difficulties of a metropolitan editor.
The college editor lives and works among the very
people for whom he writes. The big city editor in only
a few cases has as close contact with his readers. This
close contact brings up many perplexing questions as
to the propriety of using certain material which might
be made the? subject for a "whale" of an editorial.
Many an editorial which might pass by In an impersonal
manner on the big paper, is interpreted in a personal
way when it appears in the college paper.
The problem is rendered still more aanoying when
the editor of the college paper happens to be a junior
or sophomore. He then has a long time to live on the
campus among people who seem never to forget that
once he was editor and had trampled on their toes.
Perhaps also the college editor may have an eye on
other honors ahead. Then it is a test indeed whether
political expediency or honest moral courage will con
quer. To the credit of many a college editor may it be
said that moral courage has time and again won over
political expediency.
Fortunately the present editor is a senior with
only four months of university ahead of him. At the
end of that four months he plans to kiss the campus
good bye, and forget whatever troubles he may have
had. He doesn't have to play policy, nor does he have
to play politics. He is no candidate for other honors.
He has no axe to grind.
President Coolidge asked Congress last Saturday
for a 15,0C0 appropriation for expenses of an un
official American delegation to the Geneva ecoaomic
conference. If ideas on economy is his purpose, he will
probably learn how he could have saved $15,000.
FARMERS' FAIR
Plans for a "bigger and better" Farmers' Fair are
crystalliiing and now, students of the University of
Nebraska can look forward to it as they look forward to
Engineers' Week and Pharmacy Night,
Of course, Farmers' Fair entertains, and in some
cases instructs, the few thousand people who attend it,
but the real values are not apparent to the casual ob
server. The contact and associations forrted among
the students of the College of Agriculture who stage
it are the direct benefits. j
Mention must be made of the value of such an en
terprise in advertising the University of Nebraska to
the people of Nebraska. Many thousands of people
read of it in their daily newspapers. Many thousand
view the mammoth parade which is part of Farmers'
Fair. These, with the students of the University who
visit the College of Agriculture campus, for the first
time perhaps, have a kindlier feeling towards the agri
culture and economic students.
There is no financial gain expected in putting on
Farmers' Fair. The truth is, the 1926 Fair was staged
at a loss. Every student of the College of Agriculture
is a member of the Farmers' Fair Association of the
College of Agriculture with no dues or assessments.
Every student is expected to serve on one or more of
the various committees necessary to the success of the
affair, so that all the gate receipts can be used for im
proving the Fair.
The Association elects a Board which is respon
sible for the organization of details and the appoint
ment of committees. This board, made up of three
ags and three home ecs, determines the policies to be
followed. They are advised by a faculty advisory board
n that the chance for unwise mores is lessened.
Announcements by this year's board indicates
the inauguration of some new ideas, especially wits
regard to the parade. In the past each department has
ftnilt float representing some chase of their activity.
Each float by itself, represented a splendid idea, but
when the parade was taken as a whole, there was an
evident lack of unity. According the plans for the
1Q27 Fair, the rjarade will represent a central idea,
each department preparing a float as in the past, but
following a preconceived plan.
Another imm-oveoient for this Tear is more space.
The new activities building will provide a place for
some of the exhibits, give room for entertaining a large
crowd either at a program, fov staging the pageant, or
for the dancing which is a part of the day's entertainment-
Following the clan of former rears, the home ecs
will present a pageant This has come to be a part of
Farm err fir na lanuanes spienaia eniercainmem xor
visitors.
The committee for the Ninth Annual Fair will
soon be announced. Every home ec and eg will start
.work on their particular piece of work and when Farm
ers' Fair time rolls around, everything will be in re", li-
. ness to furnish rem! genuine entertainment and display
some worthwhile exhibits.
HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL
Nebraska's high school basketball players will come
to Lincoln cn Uarch 10, 11 and 12 for the Seventeenth
Annual High School Basketball tournaoent. Here they
will corr.j-et far -the championships in the various
tlas to wJiica their season's playing has assigned
All the teams will be accompanied either by a
t . or f,!e direr official. Lincoln is already uiak

1". re 1.:' be rr.; entertainnjent for the boys. The
new hotels here will facilitate the matter of housing.
In fact the players will have every reason to remember
the trip.
But back home the school and the community will
be anxious to hear of the victories their team is mak
ing. They will wait for the first report of the opening
game, then the second, the semi-finals and then tue
finals. With the exception of a few of the city papers
none of the hundreds of other papers of the state can
arrange to send reporters to cover the games in which
they are interested. And so the students of the School
of Journalism will serve Nebraska's papers by sending
them detailed accounts of how the boys from the home
tnum nlnv. how thev win the CUD.
WW"" I t "
Every town represented in the tournament last
year received an account of how its team played, in
this service to the state there were 83 journalism stu-
lonte nnrtfeinated. As manv or more will cover the
games this year. In as far as possible students report
thpir home town eames. They are acquainted with the
nlavor and know the points their communities want to
j
Over 225 columns of reports were sent out during
thA tniimamcnt last season. The service will be in
every way equal this year. The School of journalism
ia maintained bv Nebraskans and in turn it aims to
serve Nebraska in every way possible. Covering the
basketball games for hundreds of Nebraska editors who
cannot come to the games is one of the ways it can be
of service.

It Education Worth Doing?
Someone a long time ago propounded what has
since become a truism: "What is worth doing is worth
doing well."
Opinion among budents, regarding the value of the
time spent in going to classes, seems to vary. The
way some students go about getting a store of informa
tion shows that they believe it "is worth doing well."
The xeal of the rest is represented by a descending
curve.
The difference between interest and apathy, as
exemplified on the campus of the University of Okla
homa, seems to lie in the aim of the individual. Some
few figures of eminence were born with one or two
highly developed faculties, and they are called geniuses.
Others just as eminent have won their places thru con
stant well-directed effort. These latter wanted some
thing so badly that they were willing to go to some
trouble and to make some sacrifices to get it.
The first thing to decide in the beginning of any
thing is whether it is worth doing. Then the way in
which it will be done is not so much of a problem.
The Oklahoma Daily
Why Don't We Think?
College students don't think because they dont
have time to decide what to think about
Their eternal hurry worries them. Perhaps that
is thinking.
A student may leave a philosophy class with ex
cellent intentions of examining himself as to whether
he is idealist or materialist. He barely gets his pipe
lit and his feet on the table when he must attend a
history class to analyze the causes of the panic of 1873.
This incentive has scarcely set him off on a fruitful
tangent when he must hear an English lecture and ap
preciate the beauty of Keat's verse.
So his mind has nJ opportunity to develop or
iginal ideas along any real lines. The boy who can
choose one subject to work upon in this meager time
is a rare individualist. He usually becomes so proud
of his intellect that he lets his hair grow and does not
wash his hands. Then he flunks out of college for for
getting to go to classes and write topics.
Even in this precious period before sleeping at
night constructive thinking is disrupted by a recalci
trant idea. The question is barely launched to one's
inner self: "Are our activities more than a waste of
time?" when a late English theme or a neglected tele
phone call is remembered.
A college student doesn't think. He only frets.
Washington Dally Cardinal
The After-Graduation Nightmare
June, but little more than four months away, will
witness the annual outpouring of thousands of Ameri
can college graduates, armed with diplomas as symbols
of their four sheltered years in college under the
fatherly eye of deans, ready to bid for a post in Ameri
ca's busy chase for existence.
Those four months will roll by faster than the pros
pective graduate, busy with exams today, can realize.
The professor who advised a student the other day to
forget about the employment problem that she must
face in June until June rolls around, so that she can
thoroughly enjoy her final semester in school, may have
the best of intentions, but the student may find the sea
unexpectedly rough after the last sheepskin has been
handed out on Commencement Day.
Of course, there is always a small group of people
who live a petted and sheltered life from the day -they
are born until old age has overtaken them. For the
student who can telegraph home after receiving his
diploma: "Dear Dad: Education complete. What next?"
It may be well to put off worrying about the "after
graduation" problem.
For those of us who are less fortunate, June is but
a few days away Many will follow in the footsteps of
the '26 graduate who is selling insurance, aluminum,
advertising, silk hose, or what have you, while others
will fall into jobs as clerks, executives, cub reporters,
and bank tellers, and still others will seek at least ano
ther year of university study.
It's not a day too early for the sweet June gradu
ate to start thinking, if not worrying, about the "after
graduation" nightmare.

Are Professors Hamaa ?
a university professor be
a guide or a
Should
demigod?
Examples of both type are to be found occasionally
in this school. A consideration of the advantages of
these types may be interesting. -. .
First, what is the aim of instruction?
Second, is the imperious or is the sympathetic
method of instruction the more effectual in gaining this
end?
The aim of all instruction may be either to im
part information or to aid a student in the correlation
of material which be may get for himself.
Any demeanor on the part of an instructor cal
culated to lend dignity or to elicit respect likely will dis
tract from close concentration on the part of a group
of students. This in part defeats his own purpose. If
his attitude is domineering, such as a prison guard
might assume in managing a group of criminals, a feel
ing of shyness akin to fear may be impressed upon the
minds of th sensitive and younger students. This
certainly is not conducive to the best results of the
instructor's labor.
On the other hand, there is the patient and under
standing guide of the class room, who realizes that by
a well-directed question or two he may stimulate in
terest and honest thought on th part of his charges
where there might have been indifference.
A man named Socrates adopted this method in his
courses. Oth -n- men said he was a brainy teacher. But
it was bis pupils who made him famous.
Socrates was not a demigod.
