Circulation Manager iZ6I "61 AVK "AVflSHflHX ROUND-UP WEEK To make the yearning of the old grads to see the University "in action" more realistic than ever, the Round-Up committee probably purposely arranged to have the week come just before final exams when all students are trying their best to study. Of all times when a housewife least wants to entertain visitors, housecleaning time is the worst. Similarly of all times when students want to have a few hours to themselves, will even neglect sweethearts and fiances, and when they want to be bothered least, it is when they are pre paring for crucial final exams. A curt welcome probably awaits many of the grads if they disturb too much stu dents who are themselves hoping some day to be grads. The orthodox patriotic explanation, of course, is that the alumni must be coddled to, and that it would be a shame indeed to bring all the alumni back to a deserted campus after final exams are over. As a matter of fact Round-Up week brings back to the campus only a small, very small, fraction of the Alumni bodv. Manv of those who come are prospective wimmpr session students. Most of the others live in or near Lincoln. Its success is in large part existant only in the writeuDS of the publicity agents. The fact of the matter is that Round-Up is nothing other than an attempt artificially to create and per petuate a "tradition." Our campus is mighty bare of traditions to be sure, but "creation" of them is not nnlv useless. It is ludicrous. The idea of Round-Up week may be all right, but its location in the1 year's calendar is mighty unlortun ate. Homecoming in the fall comes at a much more collegiate and romantic time of year. There are real interests which bring many alumni back at that time without undue interruption to students' work. Why there should be two homecomings a year instead of one good one, is a four-year puzzle to some students. It can be explained only on the ground of creation of a new "tradition." And if the campus were not so afraid to voice opposition to any and all "bonfire" and "traditional" or would-be traditional events, there would long ago have been voiced active oppogition to superfluous events, among which may be included the annual "Round-Up," in the springtime and just before final exams. The Daily Nebraskan next week will extend a cordial welcome, of course, to all the visiting alumni, but that is no reason why it should not voice a belief beforehand that the whole performance is in great part n imnosition on students and faculty members, and might be scheduled for a different time of year, if at all, much to the benefit not only of the students and faculty, but of the week itself. Bigger and better if possible, but above all bigger. THE DANCE SQUABBLE Well, the Student Council is at last formally peti tioning the faculty committee on student organizations to be given complete control over Varsity Dances. As suggested last week, the committee will probably bear duly in mind the ancient adage "divide and rule." But seriously, the big misunderstanding between the Student Council and the present Varsity dance committee over the jurisdiction of the parties is in the main a big squabble over who shall appoint the officers and the committee, members for next year. If the Student Council is sincere in its desire to have the parties under its jurisdiction regardless of any personal political considerations, a happy solution might be an agreement to officially appoint for next year a Varsity dance committee picked by the present old committee, with the understanding that thereafter the Student Council shall have final word. Such an arrangement would salve the pride of present member and officers of the dance committee, giving them their old privilege of naming their succes sors. It would insure, at least in theory, that the new members have had experience running the parties. And it would give the Student Council one year's experience in supervising the parties before taking over complete direction itself.- And above all it would provide a smooth, "oily" and "slippery", transition period, if you please, with the least amount of hurt pride and foiled ambition for all concerned. As the last days of college life are nearing their end, the anxious senior begins to wonder if his cap and gown will be ready on time at the collegiate de partment store. PROFESSIONAL BONFIRES The average man probably has a natural dislike of any and all occupations or professions, the members of which, or the apprentices of which, must constantly be exhorted and reminded of their glorious mission in the world. We know one great corporation which played the slogan "spirit of service" so much for several years that the entire organization numbering some 300 thousand employeers got sick and tired of it alL If there is really a great mission in any profession, any great amount of exhortatory hot air about it all is wasted. Everybody knows about it already. If there isn't a mission, if it's just plain work, the hot air i likewise wasted. People aren't as dumb as they once were. A disgruntled merrfber of a Michigan school board dynamites a school house and kills 50 or more children. Thiqk of what might happen with a stadium packed to the balcony during some great football game if there viere any disgruntled members on the athletic l o;n-d. No wonder they don't allow students on that About the most popular proposal under discussion l y rraJuating seniors is the one to excuse thm from all final examinations. If-term papers were added to the exempt list, the popularity of the whole proposition would approach iht 'md" stag. One of the allurements about civilian occupations especially those not laden with seniority rules and union regulations is the romantic uncertainty of possible at tainment and reward. The hope of better things in the future, backed by a confident belief that hard work and ability "will get you there" keep many a man go ing, plodding, ever working till tte very end. Talking about political "wizzers," some people connected with the alumni association haven't forgotten' old student political days, if the deft switching of round-up days is anything to judge by. In Other Cblumns Excessive Gallantry We dislike to let anyone get the best of us in a show of gallantry to the ladies) but we can't quite go along with Judge Robert Moss of Annapolis, Md., in refusing to sentence the secretary of the Anne Arundel County School board for stealing $20,000 of public money. The sole reason given by Judge Moss was that the confessed thief was a woman. If we are to immunize women to our criminal laws, to this extent we are depriving weak individuals of a strong incentive to honesty. In spite of the enor. mous increase in the number of women in employment, many of them in positions of trust, they average high in honesty as compared with men. Why tempt them into dishonesty? Judge Moss explains that he comes from stock that does not believe a woman should be punished "unless she reaches such a stage of depravity she no longer is a fit person to be at freedom." The answer to that is that such stock is not the best to select judges from. Kansas City Star. The Campus Pulse mil all libatoua Mttar , aaa attana ngnei College Or an Education? Stanford University has made a heroic attempt to rid itself of the "collegiate" college student in adopt ing its recent policy of admitting only junior college students and students of equivalent standing. Higher learning for those who want it and no catering to rah-rah, boys or fraternity dillantes seems to be the new system. This action by Stanford seems to suggest a new departure in junior colleges to care for the high school graduate who craves for college but not for an edu cation. Such well-recognized institutions with an ap propriate degree might prove an open sesame to those single track minds that go to college just "to graduate." "A two-year general course in a junior college is about all that a large majority of high school grad uiftes want," writes the Stanford Daily in discussing the new policy "they do not care about learning. They want a sweater with a black letter on it, baggy trousers, and the Alpha Alpha Alpha fraternity pin. It can be arranged comfortably for these things to be obtained at a junior college." Such junior colleges might be an asylum for Uni versity incompetence as well as serving for a filtering plant for such institutions as Stanford. The nrrange- n.ent ought to be more comfortable for bcth parties. Daily Illinl. t "'Crashing has grown to be an unquestionable sin," was a statement overheard by the writer the other dav. The more I thought about that statement the more I realized that it presented a situation more serious than the casual thought would re veal. "This is not a reform article writ ten by a "high pressure" reformer. Its purpose is to present a construc tive criticism of an existing situation. It must be admitted that on this campus "crashing" has so grown in popularity that the individual Greek party has very little individualism. At one Greek party of late a group of about twenty uninvited couples from a neighboring school were checked, and numerous university students possessed of the same invi tation were noticed. If the individ ualism is to be maintained it seems as if some means could be provided to protect it The downtown party is the one big exclusive priviledge with held by the Greek organizations. If we are to maintain it, let it be as it should be, individual, exclsive. It has been suggested that in giv ing bids to these parties each mem ber of the said organization be given two. four or whatever number of cards (namely tickets) ; these to be presented to the invited guest and gathered at the door. This would put the organization on a business like basis and would seemingly solve the problem, namely eliminating those who invite themselves after reading the party dates in the "Rag" or otherwheres. M. C. N. Notices Seminars aa Large ai "taolia? Scholarship can become just as exciting to an under graduate as football or dancing, in the opinion of Max Mason, president of the University of Chicago. The most practical way, he says, to develop the "thrill"' of scholarship is in permitting undergraduates to delve into research, during which they may rub shoulders with the big men of the colleges. President Mason thinks that it is the duty of Amer ican colleges to make scholarship just as attractive as possible. All of which is just another way of saying that the scholar will be the rule rather than the exception as soon as scholarship is modish, as soon as it is popular, as soon as it is the fashionable type of activity. And human nature and the present trend of econ omic society are both too unpredictable to make any definite prophecy as to the date when seminars will have to be built as large as football stadia. The Daily Illini. It Waa Gb-ioua The liner Ryndam, "floating university," returns from its round-the-world cruise and announces that the project was eminently successful, but that, on the whole, it has been deemed wise to omit the co-educational feature in the next cruise. This, it is added, is no reflection on the students, and does not mean that there were any scandalous or romantic goings on on this last cruise. The authorities simply feel that better work will be done if all of the students are of the same sex. We hate to say "I told you so"; but this, it seems, should have been fairly obvious. Imagine a liner cruising through the East Indies; there is a full moon silvering the water, and a spice laden breeze spilling over the rail; a lone co-ed sits pensive on a deserted deck in the moonlight; what young man is going to keep his mind on binomial theo rems or quadratic equations in such circumstances? No. It should have been fairly obvious. The Om!-a Baa. What la a Cynic? (Henry Ward Beecher.) The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man, and never fails to see a bad cne. He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and never seeing noble game. The cynic puts all human actions into only two classes openly bad and secretly bad. All virtue, and generosity ,and disinterestedness, are merely the ap pearance of good, but selfish at the bottom. He holds that no man does a thing except for profit The effect of his conversation upon your feeling is to chill and sear them; to send you away sour and morose. His criticism and innuendo fall indiscriminately upon every lovely thing, like frost upon the flowers. If Mr. A is pronounced a religious man, he will reply: Yes, on Sundays. Mr. B has just joined the church: Certainly, the elections are coming on. The minister of the gospel is called an example of diligence: It is his trade. Such a man is generous: Of other men's money. This man L obliging: To lull suspicion and cheat you. That man is upright: Because he is green. Thus his eye strains out every good quality. To him religion is hypocrisy, honesty a preparation for fraud, virtue only a want of nnrwirf iinirv anA tm- niable purity, asceticism. The livelong day he will cooly sn wiui sneering up, trarurhxing every character that is presented. It is impossible to indulge in such habitual severity oi opinion tipon our lellowmen without injuring the tenderness and delicacy of our feelings. A man will be what his most cherished feelings are. If he encourages a noble generosity, every feeling will be enriched by it; if hp nurses bitter and envenomed thought, his own spirit will absorb the poison, and he will crawl among men as a burnished adder, whose life is mwchief and whose errand is death. . . He who hunts for flowers will find flowers; and he who loves weeds will find weeds. . .. Let it be remembered that nn m self morally diseased, will have a relish for" disease in others.

Walker Presents Radio Address (Continued from Page One.) At this point Mr. Walker described the courses which the School of Journalism offers to its students. He also explained the work necessary to obtain a bachelor of arts degree and in connection with that a certificate of Journalism. "Agricultural journalism and tech nical journalism," continued Mr. Walker, "furnish increasingly rich fields for the young journalist Be cause Nebraska is mainly agricultural in its population and 'general char acteristics, the great need is for trained workers in community or country journalism.

And listed as pies without special embellishments, we find Apple, Raisin, Cherry, Blue berry, Peach, Pumpkin, Black berry, Rhubarb, and other fruit pies at various times generally about five kinds on any one day at 10 cents each. Any of ' these kinds of pie served "a la mode", 20 cents. Or with cheese, 20 cents. (T be aa-jtJaae-) 1325 P school has recognized and is striving to fill." After outlining the opportunities which journalistic training offers to the young people of Nebraska, Mr. Walker put up this question. He said; "You may ask me, how may I know whether I really want to take journalism?" In reply to this question, Mr, Walker said, "the answer is simple. Unless you have a compelling desire to write, unless you are not fright ened by the prospect of long hours and hard work, unless the desire to go into newspaper work cannot be over come, then don't plan to enter news paper work. But, on the) contrary, if the fascination and lure of it have orinnpd vnn. if vou can not keep out 0TI ' - - then by all means undertake to fit yourselves properly to join that great profession which is helping make America what it is journalism."
