NO SWAN SONG HERE
The last issue of The Daily Nebraskan for this
year is being; put out in a gloomy deserted office down
in the basement of the old U Hall stump. Saturday,
always a quiet day around the office because so few of
the reporters come dewn, was especially quiet this last
time as members of the staff either went home over
the week-end or studied for final examinations. So if
this last editorial is not as cheerful as it might be,
that's the reason.
After a man has spent four years as reporter and
editor of a college paper, it is with at least a few feel
ings of regret that he comes down to the old office and
sits down to the old typewriter for the last time to
write for the yawning deadline. Not feelings of regret
in particular for having done or said things for which
to be sorry, but feelings of regret that time is marching
ceaselessly by, mercilessly dragging one away from
familiar, memory-laden old haunts.
College editors often like to end their year with a
"swan song" editorial in which they recite the successes
and the failures of their term of office. This is not a
"swan song" editorial. To be sure it is the last editorial,
and there is a train of many failures and hardly any
successes in its wake. But it is not a plaint cry of resig
nation and despair. Rather is it intended to be a hope
ful outlook on the future which is awaiting all the
young men and women now graduating, snd those who
will remain to carry on in the years to come.
The men and women who next Saturday will leave
this campus as university graduates have before them
a richer, a bigger life. Their four years of college have
consciously or unconsciously broadened their mental
outlook on the intricate, complex, mysterious, gripping-ly-interesting
life into the main stream of which they
are now launching. Their parents, their families and
friends, and the state have been generous and lavish
in the opportunities and advantages which they have
laid before them. The time has now come when these
young men and women can show their gratitude, can
prove that all the trust in them was not misplaced.
And those who remain behind. They know now
--wfcat college life is, and what college life is not. They
should know by now with what sacrifice and expense
on the part of parents, friends and the Etate that col
lege Jife is made possible. They should, we know they
will, come back next year with an even greater deter
mination to exploit to the fullest possible extent the
myriad opportunities for a fuller and more useful life
which are presented to them in the University.
No, this is not a "swan song". It is a song of hope,
of anticipation, of the bright, ever-expanding horizon
of life into which the young men and women of the
University are just barely entering.

Cranky
No one should be afraid of being a definite individ
ual, not a person shaped into the shapeless nothingness
of the majority. The individual is constantly subjected
to a cross fire of criticism, while countless fault finders
pick flaws in his most perfect work, yet it is estimated
that 87 percent of the statues are erected to men who
were once called cranks.
Perhaps criticism :s irritating, perhaps it is very
greatly needed, yet the person who is criticized is the
one who is not laying back doing nothing, and careful
thought on the subject matter of the comments will
lead to further perfecting of the work in hand.
Entirely too many persons are called cranks simply
because they think progressively along new lines, and
are not willing to give up their thoughts because some
one does not approve of them. Naturally enough, there
are a lot of persons who are really cranky, inasmuch
as their thoughts are worthless, lead nowhere, and are
for no definite purpose.
However, students should not shy from construc
tive thinking because they will be criticised.

Mother of a Senior
"College has turned my son from a good democrat
into a bit of a snob," writes the "mother of a senior"
in the June Woman's Home Companion. "His present
mental attitude is anything but decently democratic.
He has an equally inflated notion of his present econo
mic values. He is a dawdler and shrinks from 'hustle.
He has a rigid and extravagant standard of dress. He
thinks he must continue to clothe himself in the style
to which college has made him accustomed. College-
has taught him absurd ideas about women. He is with
out the faintest idea of sex equality. He believes in the
double standard not only of morality but of propriety.
He has notions which have been imposed on him by
four years of living in a man-made college world, a
world of, by and for men."
It wouldn't do any good to send him to a co-edu
cational institution.
The college is to blame, no doubt, for admitting
him. He does not belong there; he has been wasting his
time, or worse. But the "mother of the senior" was to
blame in the first place. What prompted her to let him
go to college. The Ego? "My boy!" He must be superior
to his surroundings.

Educating Freehmea
Something new and beneficial seems to be in store
for incoming freshmen in view of the recent announce
ment of plans for, a regular Freshmen week to' be held
the last week in September before classes start. In ac
cordance with the policy of the committee in charge
of the program for freshmen for "humanizing educa
tion," activities have been planned for the benefit of
the new students for the purpose of helping them to
become acquainted with the university, its activities,
and in a general way, indicating what will be expected
of them in the four years to follow.
The original Freshmen week was started at the
University of Maine in 1922 by President Little. Since
then, Prof. William A. Frayer, of the history depprt
ment, points out, the idea has spread to more than 100
other American universities. The idea involves a full
week- of activities for the freshmen entering the uni
versity. They will arrive one week before upporclass
men and will be occupied until the opening day of
classes.
Although it may take two or three years for the
new system to show any direct results, it is wholly
probable that the plan adopted by the committee will
prove a success and be one more step forward in stabil
izing college education; and at the same time it would
be an additional feather in the cap of Michigan's pres
ident and the university as a whole.

Recognition for Nebraska
That was a gratifying recognition which came to
Nebraska football Friday at a time when the annual
Roundup had brought hundreds of Cornhusker grad
uates back to the scenes of their college days.
A group of eastern coaches, representing 150
teams of that region, which will engage in more than
250 games next fall, met yesterday to select officials
for tne games. The east follows the policy of endeavor
ing to secure the services of the best-known and most
popular officials for the "big" games.
Accordingly groupings were made in which pres
tige was the principal factor in determining ranking.
Nebraska was one of the five schools west of the Alle
ghenies to receive Group A ranking for intersectional
contests. The other four were Pittsburgh, Notre Dame,
the University of Michigan and Ohio State university.
The eastern schools placed in the same grouping were
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Pensylvania State, Syracuse,
Cornell, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Army and Navy.
That is a notable honor to be accorded the Corn
huskers. Only two members of the Big Ten are given
the same distinction. Nebraska is the sole member of
the Missouri Valley conference, where a corking rrand
of football is played, to be given group A ranking. Not
a Rocky Mountain conference eleven, nor a Pacific
coast team comes in for it. It has been apparent for
some time that the East has a profound respect for
.Nebraska football. Championship teams have had some
thing to do with it, and yet that is not the full explana
tion. When an eastern eleven meets Nebraska on the
gridiron, it has come to expect a hard-fought contest
In the intersectional contests in recent years the Corn
huskers have won more often than they have lost, but
in every event they have given a (rood account of them
selves. That is what has made Nebraska a good drawing
card in the east, and entitled it to group A rating along
with other national gridiron leaders in the assignment
of officials to the important games.

To tie Editor of the Daily Ne
braskan: I want to congratulate you
on having conducted the best and
most interesting editorial column I
have seen in the "Rag" during my
three years at tbt U. of N. You
have nearly always had at least one
interesting editorial, and often two
or three.
But I must take exception to parts
of the editorials thin week in regard
to Mr. Jensen's letter to the Regents
and the statement which I helped to
distribute Wednesday morning. It
seems to me a trifle unfair to charge
that the lettercontains matter of a
highly libelous nature," and then not
telling what was in it, thus tending to
prejudice readers against the author.
And, despite the magnifying power
of the source, I am euro that the let
ter has as much news value as the
track ineet at Crete in 1891, which
occupied nearly a column of Sunday's
paper.
While I know nothing concerning
the facts in Brother Jensen's charges,
does it not seem possible that , there
may be something in them, when the
most widely known professor on the
caspu. refuses to eomo back until
tkatges are made ia the intcriu.1 or
tpmkattion of the University! And, as
to the "suppression" of news, I have
never succeeded in finding in the Ne
rjrsxskan or elsewhere anything defi
nite aa to the nature of the changes
deired.
With best wishes for "after grad
nation," I am
Yours truly
H Herbert Howe.
