THURSDAY. APRIL T. UJ7
AFTER SPRING VACATION
The campus ttarted functioning again yesterday
after a two-day recess with a large proportion of the
student body back ia harness.
It wasnt much of vacation but there was enough
. I.M.V from the routine of winter study (three
months since New Tears) to make everybody come
back somewhat refreshed.
a -J vf arc all back it will probably be
cheerful news for everybody concerned to taw that
there are only 58 more days unui we miy-sxm n
nual commencement. Not such a very long time, and
yet time enough to do a great deaL
For many of the underclassmen especially those
who are sure of returning next year, the main concern
wD! probably be successful completion of the courses
But for those who are about to graduate and for
those who may never come back, these few remaining
weeks should afford an opportunity, probably long
neglected, of reacquaintjng tnemseives wiu vx wmc
University, the professors, and the many student as
sociates of the past three or four years, without men
tioning some of the library browsing that a few leisure
hours may make possible.
In some ways one of the happiest times of the
hwinw it is srcrinrtiine and there are only
J -
a few more weeks f class work, these next two months
in other ways tend toward the very opposite in tne
realization that they are the last dwys of happy, care
free wbool life. Within a few weeks after commence
ment exercises next Jane 4, the members of the class
of 1927 will be scattered in all parts f the country,
and some of them may be even farther away in foreign
lands. Even the swyreeding classes of 28, 29, and 30
will never reassemble intact as they now are. The
faculty itself will not be without change.
Impatient though we msy be of continued lectures
and endless grinding assignments, and anxious though
we msy be to take out active part in the fierce and
intense struggle f life on the threshhold of which we
now are standing, there will be a feeling of sadness
at the tissght cf departure frcra tiis esspss and all
the happy and sometimes sad) memories and recollec
tions it holds.
ADVANCE RUSHING
The brief vacation period just passed was probably
tttHiied by many -fraternities and sororities to stage
informal rushing parties back home wherever enough
members and alumni are located to make possible such
affairs. The tune will be done n a larger, more
systematic, and more elaborate scale next summer in
preparation for the intensive three-day session here at
headquarter when pledge pins are formally attached
and formally displayed.
Bushing f course 5s a necessary and inevitable
part of the fraternity system as it is now organized.
Advance rushing such as mentioned above is mandatory
also out of sheer necessity in the face of competition.
If there are any evils connected with such advance
rushing 4-hey can not justly be ascribed to any particu
lar individual r group. All are willing or unwilling
victims of a system the fierce competition of which
knows no bounds.
And yet there are some features about this ad
vance rushing which reflect badly not only on the Stu
dent! hST Vt wAle fTyersievli', (
As a result f such advance rushing, many stu
dents make their first contacts with the University,
and their first and sometimes lasting impressions of the
University, through the social, secondary side of col
lege life, rather than through the really serious scholas
tic side which is the only genuine reason for the exis
tence of higher education.
Instead of the student entering University with a
realization of the seiious task ahead of him, he comes
too often with a bloated, egotistic feeling of social
superiority in the assurance that be h&OTecome or is
to become a "Creek" pledge.
What is even worse, many students come to uni
versity as result of such advance' rushing with the
intention purely and simply of staying in school long
enough only to become members of a fraternity or
sorority. That this is no exaggeration is proved every
fall by the number cf students (especially women) who
tici. Lack Lome ia iLe disappointment of not having
been pledged.
It is not strange, then, that some people unac
quainted with the real workings .of university enter
tain the opinion that college is a four-year emu try
club vacation.
BASEBALL
That baseball will not be a major sport at Kebras
ka for some time to come seems to be the present out
look. The immediate reason advanced is the present
lack of facilities for playing the game and the lack of
.money to finance coaching and trips.
These reasons are of course qtrtte secondary. If
there were a real demand for baseball at a major sport
and there were money to finalise a schedule and a coach
ing staff, the facilities would be provided mighty quick
ly
The fundamental reason I " the discornuance of
lawlall ts'a major sport at Nebraska as well as at
'ir scLol in tiJs part of the country, is the lack
t ' t ' : ' r t s r.d public interest in that sport
If 1' nr- rtsicst Liter t ia the sport

n cf tbe absence of box receipts even as track

it i
f the matter is tbat baseball has be
'.let? profeErional sport that it
' 'e t-.: - in liavor ta win -.uch
popularity among college students and the college sport
public.
Even down in the high schools, baseball for some
reason or other fails to attract public attention as
much as football and basketball.
- Perhaps there is a natural dividing line or sport
and athletic interest as between scholastic and collegiate
circles and those outside.
Among the great college sports might be listed
football, track, rowing, and basketball.
' Among the great secular sports might be included
baseball, boxing, golf and some others.
Wrestling seems to be a hybrid. Where boxing
has been ruled oat of many colleges because it is an un
desirable sport in the professional realm, wrestling
is coming along in some favor. Perhaps this is because
the ancient Greek traditions concerning this sport over
balance the present decadence of it at the hands of the
professionals.
Baseball once quite popular in colleges and high
schools, at least in this part of the country, has been
losing ground, and for some time as far as colleges
are concerned has been a hybrid. In some conferences
it has alternately been dropped and then again revived.
Tbe three greatest reasons advanced for dropping it
have been lack of facilities, bad weather conditions,
and lack of money. At any rate it seems to be the first
sport dropped when there is a lack of money.
Down farther south where they take baseball even
more seriously than they do football, and where a boy
would rather be a second Ty Cobb or Babe Ruth than
a president of the United States, and where weather
conditions are favorable nearly all the year round,
baseball still is, and probably will be, a popular col
lege sport for a long time.
Here at Nebraska, thoch, and in neighboring
schools where it has been dropped, baseball is probably
destined to sit on the bench for several years at least,
untO such a time as there is a real demand for the
sport by the students and the public, rather than by a
few ambitious baseball players who would like the op
portunity of showing off in front of big league scouts.

Sacrifice for Edocatioa
Every ambitious boy and girl has dreams of enter
ing college. Parents also have dreams for their child
ren, but miny have the idea that the student should
earn his way thru college for the good of his soul. This
idea may be prompted by some selfish satisfaction in
not being caHed"bn to spend the money.
Xo student should attempt to earn his entire way
thru college. He gets a mighty poor living and a
mighty poor education as welL If a student has the
desire to go thru college, he should be trusted to make
sensible use of contributions from his family.
If it is at all possible, the parent owes a college
education to his child. He owes him the best equip
ment possible to meet the world's problems, and college
furnishes him this equipment
Jlr.y parents do not have this view of the matter.
In our own university, we have a gTat number who
earn their entire way thru college, and a still larger
number who make some contributions to their expenses.
Our advisers say that no person should work more
than four hours a day, but many of our students work
tbe regular eight hours a day. Many men work all
night
Are these students sacrificing health for educa
tionor both?
Campos CoBeciaa
Prwnaaturity Pessimism
Since books of philosophy rarely represent tssssa
ity as being other than excessively vicious or extremely
virtuous the young person with average intellect, who
has been taught to detest vice and revere virtue, had
much better not read them than to accept as facts their
theories and to attempt their application to the trouble
some problems of life.
The philosophically inclined reader, with his pre
conceived conviction that a man is either all bad or all
good, conducts his acquaintance with that person ac
cording to bis often fallacious judgment He over
estimates the worth of and is affected when in the
presence of an individual whom he likes. It is strangely
difficult for him to see good qualities in a man who
disagrees with him.
It wll be found that the society into which one
must endeavor to fit himself is not a society of extremes
but rather a composition of all mankind, forming a
happy or an unhappy medium, according to the codes
of its components. The reader of philosophy must re
member that in studying the work of a radical author
be is seeing the picture from one viewpoint only and
that this viewpoint is exceptional.
Spending too much time in the company of sophis
ticated and world-weary theories the young man or
woman is apt to Jet down the natural roArd of rfcr
f ulness and become depressed by the infectious germ of
pessimism. A pessimistic disposition is never a builder
of ambition. The person who has been prematurely
supplied with a knowledge of the "way of the world"
loses his eagerness for the conquest, becoming tired of
life before be has lived.

Women who claim equality with men in all walks
of life should remember that tbe principle is also appli
cable to all tbe joys of life. Since their usurpation of
many positions formerly held by men the average co-ed
stands as much chance in the race for rkhes as tbe male
student Why then, doesn't she assume a few of the
social duties and responsibilities of her near counter
part? We mean "on her own account" literally. If this
business of life is to be a male and female psrtscrship,
why shouldn't the debts incurred be defrayed by the
capital of both partners? At least partner Even might
treat partner Adam to a few improvements in the firm.
Let ber draw a little monev ont of er own rarrrnt
account and take Adam to a show once in a while. After
the theater gi re him the chance of ordering the chicken
salad or the club sandwich. Pass him the wine list be
fore dancing and invite his choice on the matter.
If be seems backward at first she could throw him
a confident smile and take his eyes out of their old rut
in the price column of the card. She could intrigue his
fancy with the foreign names in the left-band column;
describe the sparkle of Burgundy or the lustre of Mo
selle. It should not be a hard matter to bring him
around at least not in the beginning of tbe evening.
Later, after depositing ten or fifteen dollars at the
hoteL we can't think of any good reason why she
shouldn't pay the carrying charges of the business
necessary to wind op the day. Then, when she finally
dismisses we taxi, we predict that that grand and glor
ious feeling of having done a good day's work and
eontriDuted ber snare to the partnership win fc-y z
tanu never, before experienced.
From this lime on votes for women, to partner
Eve, will carry a new sense of justice; a sense, for the
fiirt time felt, that a vota is rceiry and jrtnt to all
who Lave borne the burdens of common cstizenahip,
who have worked shoulder to shotdder to improve their
lot and who neither ak Bor j-a-t the tightest priT.
Ilege.
Should we hazard whether this nitemare of abso
lute equality may prove too much for her?

Talks of eating: at the
Avoidable Waste (continued)
In our last instalment we
spoke of the losses sustained by
hotel and cafe operators be
cause tit pilfering by guests.
To a very large extent small
articles are carried off by
guests without larcenous intent
That is to say, many persons
believe that "swiping a souvenir
from a hotel or cafe is really
not stealing merely an inter
esting game of hide and seek.
And still others carry off small
articles inadvertently.
But regardless of tbe intent,
the hotel or cafe proprietor
loses, and is obliged to recoup
bis losses or go into bankruptcy.
And the public or those who
patronize hotels and cafes pay
the bill in increased prices. This
is inevitable.
At the Central Caf there is
one form of waste which adds
considerably to tbe cost of oper
ation: I man or woman comes
in with the morning newspaper
and takes a seat at one of the
tables, opens the paper and be
comes immersed in the news. By
dint of keeping at it, the waiter
succeeds in getting the reader's
breakfast order probably toast
and eggs and coffee.
The order is delivered without
loss of time, eggs, toast and
coffee piping hot, and set before
the consumer of the latest news
about Browning and "Peaches'
or the latest K O delivered by
Monte Munn. Minutes pass, the
food grows tepid or cold, and
then tbe reader's gastric juices
begin clamoring for somethine
to ingest
"Bah, g-r-rh,' groves the
break taster, "dsvn't want any
food cold take ft awoy and
get me something hot And tbe
garbage can get what was a
good breakfast when delivered,
but ruined through no fault c
the chef or waiter.
