READJUSTMENT
Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wis
consin, in one of his recent syndicated editorials, dis
cusses the situation of the new student in the Uni
versity. .
"A month ago," he writes, "they left that most
human of all human institutions, the home, to go to
.inivorsitiM. th very size of which makes difficult
those Simple, direct, personal and warmly human rela
tions that give a touch of light and loveliness to their
homes. ,
"The readjustment they have faced and are facing
is no easy matter. But this difficult readjustment is
part of the price they must pay for growing up."
Peculiarly enough, students rarely realize what
readjustment is necessary. The new student is too often
so busy in the process of readjustment that he does
not appreciate that such a period is being undergone.
Two thimrs may be of significance as aids to re
adjustment. The first is called to mind when Mr. Frank
speaks of "the price they must pay for growing up."
A first step in readjustment is realization by the stu
dent that he is growing up. He needs to understand
that more work and better judgment is expected of
him solely because he is growing up.
Tims second element aiding readjustment to the
average student is the realization that the university
is human. However large it may be, its individual units
are always people, whether professors or. students. If
a student can find in the university, some group to
which he is drawn by similar interests or ideals and
whom he can meet freely, he has established the basis
of a substitute for the personal relations to which he
Vg. been accustomed.
a
The new student may find this in a fraternity or
sorority. The new student may find it in contacts with
friendly professors, who have the time and inclination
to direct his interests in the right direction. He may
find it in activities which develop his interest in new
and interesting phases of work while broadening his
contact with fellow students. He may find it in a host
of specialized clubs and organizations.
Many students have already found such a place.
They have found a niche, a corner, in the University,
which they feel is partly their own. They have begun
their readjustment. Although a quarter of the semester
has passed, there are many who are still bewildered
by the size of the institution, by the changes they face.
To those students, two more paragraphs of Glenn
Frank's editorial hold interest. "A university cannot
undertake to tuck our sons or daughters in at night
and see to it that they wear their galoshes on wet days;
it must assume that they have gone,past the governess
stage; but it is, in most instances, a very human place
a a a a
"Education is not something the university does
to our sons and daughters; it is what our sons and
daughters do in the university."
The student who hasn't found a place, for himself
need not feel disheartened. The year is not far ad
vanced. But he will have to find his own place. The
university is too! big for it to seek each individual out.
But it is so human that it will always welcome the
student who seeks and finds his own fit place.
RALLYING A RALLY
Stirred by the fighting spirit of Presnell and
Howell and roused from their lethargy by Dr. G. E.
Condra, veteran dynamo of Nebraska spirit, students at
the Grinnell rally in the Coliseum Friday evening, broke
away from their smugness and turned what had been
a lifeless rally into one of the most vigorous of recent
years.
At the beginning of the rally, students present
were as unexcited as they evidently thought the game
would be. They were Blow in coming, It looked as if
the charges made after the Missouri game concerning
student support might be right.
The team was full of fight. Presnell echoed it
volubly with his exclamation: "We're tired of winning
moral victories. From now on, we're going to win some
real victories." Full of fight, they wanted a fighting
student body behind them. Howell's rebuke at the re
ception Presnell received was a striking demonstration
of the way student support affects a team.
Full of the buoyant spirit that has made him a
Nebraska booster for years, Dr. Condra brought rfe
morse to the hearts of the students present, regret that
they had failed to give a team that wanted to fight,
fighting support. From then on, the rally was a real
rally, not a practice for the cheer leaders.
The remainder of the Nebraska schedule means
work and fight. The Cornhuskers meet the best in the
Valley and some of the best in the country. If the whole
student body can catch the spirit exemplified in the
last half of Friday's rally, it can keep a team willing
to fight in fighting trim. It can be a significant factor
in the great success of a great team. And through its
support, it can bring Nebraska students together in
a stronger and fuller bond of loyalty.

The Spectator is ill. Perhaps it will be wise to
omit his column for a change anyway, to see whether
the student body really misses it. This paper would

THE WORM THAT TURNED
With the dance floor crowded, it must have been
a tired but happy Varsity Dance' committee which
watched the students mill around on the Coliseum floor
last evening. Members of the committee appeared to
be all grins. It was not the presence of an All-University
crowd which pleased them so much, however, as
the lorty cents per. Which is very necessary.
ihe Coliseum lloor was divided in half. While
this crowded effect may make the party appear suc
cessful, it does not add materially to the cate receiDts.
It remains to be seen whether the committee collected
enough money to pay for its extensive expenditures.
If so, the party may be announced a complete success.
The Daily Nebraskan will be anxiously waiting to
hear how the committee emerged from a financial
standpoint.

YOUTH'S REVOLT.
The revolt of youth against restraint finds expres
sion again in a strike of 946 men and women students
at the Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute in
Virginia.
Following closely upon the heels of similari troubles
in Indiana, it would appear that the idea is contagious
and we may reasonably expect a more rebellious
spirit among the young people who are crowding the
schools and colleges. After the partial success which
greeted the striking students of Gary, it might be ex
pected that groups might find encouragement in the
results to attempt a like revolt against discipline.
The trouble at Hampton has an entirely different
origin than the conditions which produced a strike at
Gary. During a motion picture show which was being
given in the auditorium, the authorities turned on the
lights, and later the entire student body was confined
to the school grounds.
It is to be hoped that in this instance there will be
no surrender by the school authorities. The precedent
established at Gary of permitting the students to con
trol the school situation was bad enough, but to permit
the young people to continue to have a controling voice
in the direction of educational affairs is utter folly.
The question, indeed, invokes doufct as to the wisdom
of certain innovations which have come in education in
recent years. In the belief that students were being
encouraged in the development of reliance a large
number of self-governing experiments have been
worked out. Student councils have been established, and
they, in turn, assume partial responsibility for student
life. The efTorts are splendid if those who benefit by
them have sufficient maturity to' appreciate the license
and freedom, which is extended to them. Perhaps we
have gone too far in ythis direction, however, and it is
time to put into practice some of the old practices for
enforcing respect for age.
a a a
The question is really larger than the schools
however.
It extends into the home.
In the same measure that discipline is threatened
in the schools, there is evidence that home control is
likewise seriously menaced. Young people today refuse
to accept the dictation of their parents 'with the same
finality which characterized parental authority some
years back
Youth has more the spirit of cock-sureness, of un
shaken confidence in its judgment. It has little respect
or reverence for age and experience. And in fairness
to the young people of today, it should be said they
are not altogether to blame for their attitude. Business
and industry has put a premium upon youth to the
disadvantage of middle-age, and advanced years. It
has wanted young men, with the enthusiasm and energy
01 youth, to occupy the most responsible positions. It
has counted out those who advanced beyond the border
line of fifty. And, as a result, it has impressed youth
witn a sense of its own importance.
mi ... ...
ine spirit oi youth in revolt against what has
been gained through experience is seen both in class
room and home. Instructors discover to their dismay
an increasing sKepticism among the young people, an
amazing discontent and restlessness. PerhaDs it 'will
pass as quickly as it has made its presence felt in Amer
ican educational institutions. But the young men and
the young women of today, the finest geneiation of all
time, are altogether too splendid to be lost through

surrounded by two decollated bor

the panel the effect of being mount

because there is some difficult
in orchestra music reaching all parts
of the building. Lattice effects were
used to block off the south half of
the floor. Decorations with scarlet
predominating, were used on the
tables, where old-fashioned cider and
J v i

dents.
Clever Entertainment Given.
Harriet Cruise Eemmer and
Charles Wiles, with vocal and xylo
phone solos, furnished clever enter
tainment during intermission. The
Merrymakers added to the variety of
the evenings' program, with a soloist
member, who sang with some num
bers of the orchestra.
The floor was crowded from the
very beginning, and an unusually
large crowd remained the entire eve

to direct activities, headed by Wayne
Gratigny, general chairman.
Plans are going forward in prep
aration for the next party, the date
of which is undecided as yet. T

varsity dances will be as good as the

The general theme of the book is
summed up well in the slogan, "For
the University and the State." This
thought will be carried throughout
the year in all of the work done in
the book, according to Wallace. The
spirit of helpfulness, devotion and
truth will permeate the text in the
opening section and on the main di
vision pages. The sub-division pages
will portray events of scenes of uni
versity life.
Staff to Be Announced.
The complete staff for this year's
annual will be announced in a few
days, Wallace stated. Part of it has
been chosen already and is well
started in the work. Junior and
senior pictures will be taken and
mounted before November 10, and
the work on the1 organizations will
be started immediately after that.
Before the Christmas vacation, the
book will be planned in detail and
the printing will start the first part
of January.
