CHANCE Talking about jobs, men's careers are often de cided by the merest of chances. It seems that there is a time in every man's early life when he is at the rail road center of decision, so to speak, with lines radiating in all directions toward different careers, success, or failure. Pershing is tiid to have come to the decision of applying for West Point quite casually as the result of having picked up a stray newspaper. Hill, the great railroad magnate of the northwest, entered the railroad game by the merest of chances. The original Astor quite accidently discovered on the ship to America that a fortune might be made in the fur business. Other ex amples too macy to mention iniglit be named. If a year.

A GOOD JOB t,o 1097 flm-nhusker is out and only a few per. sons remain who have not seen themselves or their tWrnl. in their own book or one borrowed for a few precus moments from a friend. To the untechmcal eye of an interested reader and subscriber the book appears as one of the finest put out in recent years. Many new featured have been incorporated, and all the old good features have been retained. The result is a pleasing record book, indeed. Perhaps the best praise for the book is found in the letter appearing on this page from Mr. Sampson, editor-in-chief of the 1926 Cornhusker. Mr. Sampson goes into many of the technical features and shows in detail the excellence of the 1927 book. The students who have copies will have many pleasant recollections in store in the years to come when they take down the volume from the library shelf or lift it out of a forgotten nook for an hour's remin iscent reading. In the springtime a young man s fancy turns to thoughts of good old cool swimming holes. There was once a literary "Flying Parson" of the Northwest. If Father D. B. O'Conner keeps up his great interest in track, he may come to be called the "Flying Parson of the Cinder Track." JUST A BAGGAGE MAN'S MISTAKE Fraternities living next door to sorority houses have their troubles (as do the sororities themselves, no doubt). The mail man makes mistakes all the time in letters, packages and laundry bags. But the limit was just about reached the other day on North Six teenth street when a baggage man without any bother at all to ring the door bell unloaded inside of a frater nity house one travelling bag, one suitcase, and one big steamer trunk all the belongings of some fair coed neighbor or neighbor-to-be.

Having disposed of the country hicks, the small town merchants, and the big city pastors, it is about time for Sinclair Lewis to tackle universities and col leges, coaches and a few of the professions. As the' capping climax to an exposing career he might later on tell us all about the little tricks to the writing and publishing business, with particular emphasis on the press agent features of publishing a best seller. THE FIRST TRY The usual time for first try at next semester's registration is with us again. For seniors it must be quite a relief to view the big stacks of catalogs and schedules in the registrar's office without the prodding urge to get it done early. For all the others, registra tion probably seems .much more a duty than a pleasure. Many students go through the mechanics of registra tion now merely to save themselves the extra large late registration fee. Others make their program out in good faith but change their minds for various reasons by next September. At any rate there is always a great rush of re-registrants at the beginning of the semester. While the greatest reason for much of the re registering is probably the carelessness and disinter estedness of the students, it must not be forgotten that there are many students who go about making their program with the greatest forethought and care. Many have their programs fairly well mapped out for the whole four years of college, changing thorn judiciously as they discover thj value of this course or that course, or vice versa. Others reach the end of a semester and then make their survey all over again, but carefully. One lad for instance started out several weeks ago with a list of 38 subjects he would like to take, and by a process of daily elimination has narrowed down the list to a manageable proportion for final action as class assignments permit. Hundreds of other students no doubt plan their future with just as much care. Publishers who send books to college editors for reviews have a most naive trust in human nature. The books are sometimes read, but seldom reviewed. Now that counting of the days till graduation has got down to the 'teens, it might be interesting to note that there are only about 134 more days till the next "bonfire" season opens in late September and early October. If a persistent rumor concerning the chancellorship ever matures topfull reality, Nebraska is in for a ren aissance of some old fashioned "honest-to-God, good-old-Nebraska guts." In Other Columns Tho 1927 Cornhuiker Another Cornhusker is being hand ed out to the subscribers. Num erous groups are seated around the campus peering at familiar scenes and faces. Many will be the con ments some nro and some con. To those who are compl-ining about cer tain nVioaoa At tlio now Vinfilc. nleasfi bear in mind that 99 chances out of 100 it is your own fault. Having examined the 1927 Corn husker very carefully, I think every one should join in congratulating the management on producing the most distinguished yearbook Nebraska has ever had. The first glimpse of this new Corn husker. with a cover that I believe has never been equalled by any year book in the country, gives one only a fair idea of the type of work which runs throughout the entire book. The black-red heavily grained cov er gives a unique, massive, artistic appearance seldom conceived by col lege annual editors. Having seen the majority of college annual covers in the last several years I can truthfully say the cover of the 1927 Cornhusker has no equal The opening section is a galaxy of art and literary sentiment which has required a great deal of creative in genuity and hard work. The "tip-ins" and colored "zincs" are most appro priate and the comments exception ally well written and very dignified. The idea of "leadership" is well carried out through the entire book, and the pages are literally filled with the names of Nebraska's leaders in all walks of life. And to what great er "leaders" than our mothers could the book be dedicated? The scene section is large, well laid out, and the views are the best that can be obtained. The "lay-out" of the division pages is both simple and artistic and the appropriate "tip-ins" lend a dig nity consistent with other parts of the book. The sub-division pages, depicting the amusing experiences of Hi K. Lernin during his college career, por tray the spirit of the section in ft commendable manner and link up with familiar experiences in the life of every Nebraskan. Two other sections of the 1927 Cornhusker deserving special mention are the individual snap-shots and the Campus Events section. The individ ual snap-shots depict a number of well known Nebraskans in a manner new to Nebraska yearbooks. The scenes in the Campus Events section are appropriate and of general inter est, and being printed on stippled pa per they are especially effective. The "facts" about Nebraska which appear at the bottom of every page are both interesting and educational and represent an unlimited amount of work in their compilation. .JJdoubtedly athletes will continue to complain about the athletic section -they always have. But let me say that the Athletic section is better than ever before, and until the Corn husker gets some remuneration from the athletic departments or organiza tions in the University for the most expensive section of each yearbook, athletes can hope for no more exten sive section than they now have. From the view point of an ex-editor, I believe the 1927 Cornhusker is so far the beet year-book ever to be published at Nebraska that it can hardly be compared with its prede cessors. I hope this little resume may help others to appreciate the real value of the 1927 Cornhusker and that you may all join with me in off ering heartiest congratulations to W. F. Jones, Jr., the editur, and Ralph Bergsten, the business manager, on Ltheir production. They certainly de serve it! Donald F. Sampson, Editor, 1926 Cornhusker. No Stool Pigeon Here Ah, ha! Higher crime as committed by a well known educator, and bared by Associated Press: "A sensation was created at Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., when Dr. E. Dean McClusky of the Division of Educational Reference was held on a $500 bail for the charge of peeping on a senior visiting a co-ed." Stanford Daily. WfVe been kidding Doc Jones all year about his "yearly effort", now we've got to change it to praise for "the year's accomplishment" WELCOME TO THE A. A. U. MEET A late dispatch .Monday afternoon brought the news to Lincoln that the national A. A. U. meet has been awarded to Lincoln to be staged on Stadium field, July 1, 2, and 4. The meet will bring the largest num ber of athletes uf national standing ever gathered to gether in Lincoln or in this part of the country. The University of Nebraska through the courtesy of its complete athletic plant will be joint host with the city of Lincoln to this gathering of the picked athletes of the nation. In a way this role of the Uni versity seems quite appropriate. With several. consecu tive Valley tharrpionships in track, and a long list of athletic triumphs on the gridiron and on the basketball court as well, the University athletic department, may feel quite at home in entertaining the great track and field athletes of the country. About the meanest newspapermen imaginable are those who use official letter-heads of their papers in stooping down to help press agents of some worthy cause or other. WHO KNOWS? The recent statement 6f a writer that the world is now in a state of reaction against liberalism and democracy may probably be the reason why students as a whole are displaying so little interest in the matter of representation on the athletic board, a subject brought up in the Campus Pulse a few days agu. With all the ordinary student's desire to be in on everything, with all the ordinary student's self-confidence and as sertiveness, it appears strange that this proposed move ment is a flat dud-to begin with. Perhaps there is not a "grape-vine" organization to set the fire to the agitation. Or perhaps the students figure it is just another scheme to create a new activity position for some activity or athletics bey. The idea of a big general inspection at the end of the year s work such as the military department under. went Saturday and Monday, may be as old as the hills themselves, but it has the one redeeming feature of making the instructors "put out" all year in nretara tion for the "show-down." They can't stop on the way and talk about everything else except the subject maiier oescriDea in t.ive catalog.

Practical Psychiatry Around Clarinda they are telling a story about a husky lunatic who wandered off the reservation re cently. Encountering a farmer, he demanded food. "Come into the kitchen," said the farmer, "and I'll give you some grub." "You think I'm crazy, don't you?" said the lunatic. "Well, I ain't so dumb. If you get me inside the house you'll just call the guards." "All jright, then," said the farmer, "get into the barn and I'll lock' you in, so the guards can't get you." "Say, that's great," said the lunatic, and walked into the barn. -Dea Moinea Register. The Coming Maitacre What happens after graduation to those students who just "get by" in college? This question is timely just now when so many seniors with a personal interest are pondering over the matter. They are beginning to wonder if Phi Beta Kappa keys increase the pay checks or if D's on a manuscript mean a rough road ahead. It can be observed that students most prominent in campus activities are neither all A students nor D students that the well known names on the Hill draw down various portions of the alphabet in the form of grades. Soon the ferocious world will be turned loose against 850 brand new, harmless and well-meaning graduates from Mount Oread. Will, the result of the massacre be governed by grade points earned during the past four years? Frankly, we do not know, but it won't be long now! Dally Kanirn. Beginning When asked to give his chief objection to college graduates who applied to him for work after leaving school, a successful employer replied, "College men usur.lly want to begin at the top." ' The man preferred to hire a college man whenever he found one who could do his work efficiently. He had many college men working for him already. But the men he employed were not reluctant to begin where the rest of the men began. They were willing to learn his business from the ground up. His position is easy to see. The success of his busi ness upon the men who produce his commodity and upon the men who offer it to the public. His perspicuity in choosing men then accounts largely for his own suc cess in business. College men, according to this employer's exper ience, often wished to occupy executive positions with out having learned the basic phases of the business through actual work. It may be that, once in a decade or two, a college man appears who is big enough to handle a job without having acquired beginning experience. However, these men are the exception and often prove costly experi ments to tne employer in spite of their college training. xc me average college man, ihe getting and hold ing ol a nrst job on graduation is of vital importance. The first year or two may presage the business life of the man. Thus, it is of far greater importance to the' employed man to grow substantially than to the em ployer to take a chance on a promising graduate. The man who bepins too high may suffer a severe setbek. The repulse will be painfulbut it will be ben eficial too. Tbo sooner the lesson can be effectually learned the better for the prospect College men, records show, rise quickly once they are adjusted to their work. Their novitiate in the lower grades of business competition is short Then comes the steady rise to eminence and suc cess. Then is when the time spent in learning from the ground up is amply rewarded.

Talks of eating at tha Pie Twi". tlie dictionary makers tell us, is a Middle English word of uncertain origin, "possibly connected," they say, "with pie magpie." And then they proceed to define it as "An article of food consisting of a pastry crust with any of various kinds of filling in or un der it. Also a kind of layer cake spread with jam or cream, as Washington pie, cream pie, etc." Disregarding for the moment those layer cakes called "Wash-' ington pie" the remainder fall into two fairly distinct classes: Those with a fruit filling, or something of that order, which might be classed as dessert pies; and those having meat as the principal filling, which are real ly not pies at all, in the sense we Americans use the term "pie." Altrnugh "pV is a Middle English word, the English today confine the word to those with a meat filling. And apply the term "tart" to the dessert pies. The Central Cafo supplies its patrons with both kinds, and the menu frequently carries Lamb Pot Pie or Veal Pot Pie. But the greatest variety is to be found in its dessert pies.
