"Don't Count, you're YOUNG"
The recent statement oi an w-..-. ----

a few things. College students and all others who are
Young might be interested to know that they don t
have to be altogether ashamed of their opinions, and
that possibly once or twice out of a hundred times they
may be right.
Beginning way back a couple of thousand years
or more ago, Alexander, we read, conquered the world
at the age of 23.
Joan of Arc led the French to victory at a very ten
der age.
Pascal was a great mathematician before he
reached-the age of 22.
Bryant wrote Thanatopsis at the Young age of 17.
George Washington was a mighty good diplomatic
agent of the government on missions to the French and
Indian settlements in his early twenties, and showed
the Old Head Braddock how to fight the Indians.
Henry Ford was a Young, mighty Young mechanic
when he first got the idea of the horseless carriage.
And just a couple of days ago, a day after the
editorial ridiculing Youth, young Lindbergh hopped
across the Atlantic in an airplane built by three or four
other young fellows.
Yes, Yes, the Old Heads are right most of the
time, but the Young ones have shown themselves right
just enough times to merit just a little respectful con
sideration. "The peace of mind that passeth all understand
ing" a coed after vigorous application of powder puff
to shiny nose and cheeks.
THESE WILY WOMEN
The scheduled meeting of the publication board
today recalls the campaign strategy of a number of
women applicants last year this time. All of them made
last-minute special efforts to "make up", powder their
noses and cheeks, dress up their hair. But the best
one was pulled by the girl who had cunningly found
out a few days beforehand the favorite color of the
most prominent (in her estimation) and seemingly most
influential member of the board, and who thereupon
wore a dress of that color the afternoon of the board
meeting.
"The Engagement Number" of the Awgwan is re
ported to be on the press. It's going to be called lhe
Last Chance" by the editor, though.
THE "INTELLECTUALS"
For the past semester the Daily Nebraskan has
taken occasional raps at the activity boys and girls, the
athletes, the parasitic, bloated Greeks, the orthophonic
operators, and others, but there is one class, fortun
ately might small, which has not been mentioned. And
that is the group of nose-high, Saturday Review Intel
lectuals" with which this campus is leavened.
Taking as their cardinal principle the assumption
that everybody else is a Babbitt, superficial, and above
all, dumb, they enjoy getting together at the Blue
Moon, at teas, and in "enlightened" professors' offices
to talk about the Saturday Review, the green-covered
Mercury, and the incomprehensible dumbness of all
their associates.
The men members of the set like to sport then,
manliness in these new "kid" pants. The women like to
show their independence by nonchalant smoking of cig
arets. All of them have some little way or other of
showing their new "freedom" and their superiority of
thought and intellect.
Yes, they're smart. They're intellectual. But just
between you and the mailbox, they're nothing but
bloated snobs, intellectual smart-alecks, just as bad in
their way at the roadster boy snobs, and the headline
inflated athletic heroes. And it will take many years of
disillusioning hard knocks to bring them anywhere near
back to a normal human leveL
If a flivver behaves well for too long a time it's
a sure sign there's something wrong with it. Ask the
man who owns one.
Lindbergh's rise to fame insures he won't be a man
without a country. Minnesota claims him because he
was raised there. Michigan because that's where his
mother now lives. Lincoln because here he first
learned to fly. Texas because he joined the army
there. And finally Missouri because that's where he
has worked for several years.
Whether the editor's recent little tilt with an out
state editor in which was mentioned his "fooling with
a $10 flivver" had anything to do with it or not is a
question, but the old flivver has had two breakdowns
in the last three days and is heading for the garage
again this morning.

A Chicago girl has suggested that students at
Northwestern University wear blinders, similar to those
worn by horses, in order to prevent sidelong glances
during written examinations. This unique experiment

Intercollegiate Awakening
Last week the Los Angeles Daily News editor
took time off to inform the editorial staff of the Daily
Bruin that if we object to the type of asinine pictures
which are filmed on our campus as typical of college
life, the thing for us to do is to step up to the director
while he is filming one of these "typical" scenes and
inform his as to the correctness of the technicalities
That the university is not alone in registering
its disgust at the puerile brain children of the film
colony is found in an editorial printed some time ago
in the Daily Trojan, entitled "Ye Movies."
Gangs of students during classes, between classes,
and before classes; professors hanging out of windows;
private secretaries craning their necks around the win
dows and the moving picture outfit goes merrily on
its way.
It is humorous, it is even silly at times the way
the various companies put on their scenes on the cam
pus in an attempt to put out college comedies. But
beneath this superficial humor lies an evil which may
have an effect we do not count on. What kind of an
idea does the average theater-going citizen get of col
lege life by the rather perverted settings used in the
motion picture productions?
Even in this wonderful civilization of ours today
there are a great many people who know nothing about
the higher institutions of learning except the stories
in the daily papers about fraternity house parties and
the comedies seen in the theaters. Slap-stick comedies
are not taken seriously, but nevertheless can not but
leave an impression of some kind on the person who
sees them. -!

The Price of Democratic Education
It is of little consequence whether a given teacher
is permitted to teach freely what he desires to inculcate.
It is a matter of genuine concern whether the youth
of a democracy shall be permitted to learn freely on
all subjects which affect their welfare as human beings
and as citizens of a free country. It is of small mo
ment whether a particular professional schoul trains
its students with a view to increasing professional fees.
It is a matter of extreme importance whether the grad
uates of professional schools generally shall recognize
that their primary mission is to improve the ways of
securing justice, of healing the sick, of instructing
the youth, or of raising the ethics of business.
It is a matter of local concern whether a given class
or group seeks to control the educational policy of an
educational institution so as to make it serve partisan
interest. It is a matter of vital concern whether the in
terests of that group are consonant with public interests
and public welfare.
It makes little difference that an individual, a
newspaper, a group here and there -is able so to control
the policies and programs of the University as to re
quire it to teach certain things and to omit others. It
makes a vast difference whether a generation is to be
reared incompetent to read, study and decide the ques
tions of life and conduct free from the exercise of
some kind of automatic control.
These are the things that constitute the true price of
democratic education. This price is the hardest to
bear, the most difficult the social order has to pay, for
against it are arrayed an old order and a multitude of
fixed opinions. With the presence of so much intoler
ance in the world, it is difficult for a university to hold
fast to these fundamental principles. It is highly im
portant, therefore, that from time to time higher in
stitutions of learning conscientiously rededicate them
selves to the service they are expected to render to a
democratic society. "
L. D. CofTman. President Board of Regents, Minnesota.
Sociology In Sports
(An editorial reprinted from the Big Ten Weekly.)
To those who looked over the box scores of the
games played in the South by the Big Ten Conference i
baseball teams on their spring vacation trips, one fea-j
ture stood oux. ine iNortnern teams were well spotted
with names that indicated German, Jewish, Scandina
vian, Polish, and almost every European ancestry, while
the Southern teams were all of Yankee stock.
There Oosterbaan, Kabicek, Kaplan, Weintraub,
Eusinski, Larson, Nydahl, Puckolwartz, SokoL Gund
lack, Ruetz, and many others on the Northern teams,
but with one or two exceptions, the teams from the
South were composed of boys named, Jones, Williams,
Smith, Harrison, Thompson, Crawford, Hopkins, Birch,
Henry, and like names 1 staunch American names
for many generations and probably very remotely con
nected with Eupropean ancestry.
The matter probably has little to do with athletics.
It is a subject of historical geographical, sociological,
and economic importance, rather than one for the sport
writer. But it should clearly indicate that emigration
from Europe has been largely to the industrial East
and Middle West, rather than to the agricultural South.
It's just interesting; that's all.
In this same trend of thought it might be interest
ing to observe the efforts of the New York Giants for
a number of years to get a star Jewish player. There
ara more than a million Jews in New York City and a
Ginsberg who could hit homers or a star shortstop
named Isaacs would be a great drawing card. But
the Giants can't find a Jew who can play major league
basebalL In the whole history of the game, there have
only been two or three major league baseball players of
Jewish ancestry.
The answer is not dificult to find, for in other
sports there are many great Jewish athletes. The Jew
ish settlements in America are almost entirely in the
large cities, in fact, probably one half of the Jewish
population of the country is in New York and Chicago.
And in those two cities there are no vacant lots for
boys to play basebalL The city boys of the .past and
present generation play very little basebalL
' Look over the roster of any major league team
and you will find half of the players were born in towns
that can hardly be found on the map. That's where
most of the great ball players come from. They don't
come from the big cities where crowded conditions have
robbed the youth of basebalL
Aprain, it's hardly n matter for the sport writer, but
a question of history, jeography, economics, but sociol
ogy. But it seems highly interestih gto find that the
Jewish and Eupropean emigration has been largely di
rected toward industrial center v that economics and

Talks of eating at the
Sandwiches
It is related that the Earl of
Sandwich was an inveterate
gambler. He would not stop
playing to partake of a regular
meal, but ask his servant to
bring him some roast beef or
pork placed between two slices
of bread, which he would
"wolf" down mhile the card
game was in full swing. The
bread served to keep the grease
of the meat from soiling his
fingers.
And it'Vas quite in keeping
with the genius and growth of
language that these "snacks"
of the Earl of Sandwich should
be called after his title, "sand
wiches'. In time the term came
to be applied to things unre
lated to food, and as a verb it
is often applied 1o one thing
"sandwich men" carry adver
tising boards so fastened on
breast and back that the adver
tisement may be 'seen which
ever direction the walking bill
board may be going.
At the Central Cafe some
nineteen or twenty different
kind of sandwiches are served,
not to mention the Hot Boast
Beef or Hot Roast Pork "sand
wiches at all according to the
Earl of Sandwich legend, inas
much as the two clices of bread
are placed at the bottom of a
serving plate, a slice of hot
meat on one and a helping of
mashed potatoes of the other,
and all liberally overflowed
with brown gravy. The gamb
ling Earl could not eat one of
tbj? nt:J vly rsr.li at
same time.
