"MY HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL SAYS
I CAN'T GO TO COLLEGE"
Whether a high school principal knows more about
a student's future possibilities than his parents seems
to be in the thoughts of an editorial writer of The
Omaha Bee-News who discussed the future of "further
schooling" in his columns recently.
"Now comes to bat a prominent eastern edu
cator with a suggestion that the matter of de
ciding whether or not a young high school grad
uate should go to college be put into the hands
of high school principals. If the boy can get the
principal's approval of further schooling, then let
him continue; otherwise hand him a shovel."
The editorial writer, we are glad to note, stepped
out of his shell and disagreed with someone. In speaking
of these educators The Bee-News stated: "The educa
tors are mighty smart people, of course, but all the
brains in the world are not concentrated in a college
chair." True enough! More' men than Abraham Lincoln
did the world good without serving an apprenticeship
in class rooms without taking requirements which
were tolerated for the sake of a degree alone without
wondering whether the future spelled ten dollars a
week, twenty-five dollars a week, near starvation, or
a continued weekly allowance even after school's por
tals, figuratively speaking, were closed.
Educators are certainly a credit to the making of
the world. They, as well as any one else, can tell more
good in ten minutes than can be done irt a hundred
years. There is no question .however, that their advice
is valuable, but if parents with (let us use the average)
three children are unable to discern the good qualities
and the possibilities of their children, how may a prin
cipal who has (putting it low) some 700 students under
his guiding hand, delve into their natures long enough

ai college:
At the least, the education-war has bf tn looming
up monstrously before the American public, as it
should, of course. The colleges today are being at
tended by the leaders of tomorrow and their up-grade
or down-grade will leave its indelible mark upon bus
iness, politics, and society.
This University is doing its bit to notify the par
ents of some of the inactivities of the students, by
sending delinquent notices to parents whose obsession
and happiness was the fact that Ruth and John were
doing their best at college (according to letters). Are
the high schools following the same policy, urging
the parents to spur on the school-goers to get the most
out of opportunity of education.
Students are being continually condemned for their
flippancy, but as long as any laxity appears in parents
who refrain from seeing the brain-seed in their child
ren harvested merely because they have not given the
youngsters sufficient time and attention, the present
generation deserves no rebuke.
If parents possess any vision of a stronger tomor
row, they must see that their children are given every
opportunity to make good. We agree with The Omaha
Bee-News "that the parents have the required amount
of whatever it takes to decide whether anything can
be gained by sending the boy through college." .Life
lays wonderful gifts in every man's lap, but parents
must scratch the surface and awaken their children
to the dire need of a college education.
"stunts" have been prohibited by the Athletic Board.
The board felt that these programs did not carry out
the spirit that should prevail at an athletic contest.
Last year on Homecoming Pay the Corn Cobs did
have a skit between halves of the football game, but
it was by special permission of the Athletic Board. It
was an exception to the rule. Since this ruling was
known to the Corn Cobs, and since they had to secure
permisHion for the "stunt" last year, they should l. l
have taken it for granted that their Lindbergh act
would be allowed.
In other schools an evolutionary process has also
taken place. Institutions are condemning, and trying
to do away with "stunt funeral parties" and tho like.
In their stead they are attempting to elevate the en
tertainment shown the spectators.
Nebraska is just starting to do this. Card stunts
by our cheering section have been worked out especially
for our Homecoming game this Saturday, and arrange
ments have been made with the Kansas band to play
on the Stadium field. In this way a more appropriate
entertainment, and a more dignified one, is being
planned for our football audiences. Encouragement of
this kind of activity by our pep organizations is what
is necessary. '
fhe Corn Cobs need not feel insulted, for the Ath
letic Board is merely enforcing the rule that they
made two years ago.
Notices
For the benefit of any downtown newspaper which
might not be following in their own columns the flights
of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, this paper will keep them
abreast of the times.
It is highly improbable that Lindbergh will be in
Lincoln Saturday. He is at present in New York and
plans to go from there to Detroit instead of Lincoln.

Social Calendar
To The Daily Nebraskan Editor:
It is indeed unfortunate that a certain condition
existed at the Nebraska-Syracuse football game. I refer
to the rule that was in force to the effect that anyone
leaving the Stadium could not be readmitted except
that he secure another admission ticket. I was one of
the many spectators who found this true when asking
for a return check.
Many spectators wished to secure their raincoats
which they had left in nearby parked cars. One Ne
braska fan, who had come 200 miles to see the game,
was greatly disappointed in the state of affairs, and
plainly said so. It might be true that some spectators
have passed on, or sold their return privileges, but
why make the many suffer for a few? A non-transferable
rubber stamp on the palm of the hand might elim
inate this condition.
It is customary to have go'-and-return privileges.
If a change was deemed necessary, why wasn't the
public so informed? I believe that some system should
be in force whprehy one may go, if necessary, and re
turn to the games; and as the ones in authority have
condemned the usual method, it is up to them to devise
a satisfactory substitute.
Yours very truly,
M. P. B., '25.
Mr. Morrill, the University's generous doner, is not
content with his past contributions, and has now helped
the College of Agriculture. If more Nebraska enthus
iasts would catch the spirit exemplified by Mr. Morrill,
this institution would see many improvementc which
are impossible with the present lack of funds.
NO STUNT, CORN COBS
"Stunts" between halves of Nebraska football
games were again disapproved by the action of the
Athletic Board yesterday afternoon. This does not
come as a blow to the Corn Cobs for such a ruling has
been in effect for two years. The action of the board
is merely a reiteration.
Since the football game two years ago, when the
Corn Cobs staged a questionable skit on the field,
To the Editor:
Acting under the impression received from the
stunt given by the Corn Cobs for last year's Home
coming, the pep organizations again planned entertain
ment between halves of the game Saturday. The or
ganization, however, had not been given the authority
to make such arrangements, according to the ruling
which was passed two years ago, the stunt last year
having been an exception to the rule.
The Corn Cobs were first organized because the
University had no pep group, and such a group was
aeemea necessary to further the University's spirit.
This organization has taken upon itself to imprint this
spirit onto every student. Whether they have accom
plished this mission is the question which critics are
( instantly harping on.
The furthering of the purpose of the organization
is found in their zeal to arouse interest in the rallies
by visiting the different sororitv housps.
a trivial matter to the reader but imagine starting at
5 o'clock on the run and not stopping the visits until
two hours later. Then proceeding to the regular rally
which takes from one to two hours more. In addition
this display of enthusiasm is carried on an empty
stomach.
Ever since the birthday of the Corn Cobs they
nave soia programs at every game. This practice is car
ried on not that the individuals receive nnv rnmnonoo.
tion for their efforts but for the good of the Univer-
Mty. me individual members have no thought of re
ceiving payment for their work, in fact, these men
would not be performing this duty if they were to 1 e
payed, their purpose being. to work for the spirit of
the organization.
There are numerous other small details which the
Corn Cobs attend to, but the writer suggests that the
surest way to convince these critics that the organiza
tion is worth while, is to try and get along without
them.

to collect money that incidentally
would not be in the country under
the circumstances. He stated that
he hoped that professors and stu
dents in colleges and universities
would keep on with their interest in'
world affairs which has been man
ifested to .such a large extent re
cently. , .
Central American Trouble
That the people want facts, and
that a scientific, intellectual world
can bo built only on troth, was also
brought out in the speech. One of
the main points in his argument was
based on the way Nicaurappa and
Central America is being dealt with
by the United States. Nicaoragua
is approaching a new election. ' He
spoke of the measure", passed under
Bryan's administration as secretary
of jt&te. Under a treaty of 1907,
t'ij pixlk-m tas brought np about
t?:e r?sH of Nicaurscfua to sign sway
the rights of Costa Rica and the right
of Salvador to sign away the rights
of Honduras.
Although a court declared that the
treaty was null and void, Washington
contended that it was legal and they
ignored the decision. This has cul
tivated an ill feeling with the people
of Central America an dthe United
States is losing out in trade with
some of these countries. Mr. Corb
ett stated that the United States is
in need of a revision of policy.
Corbett Knowi World Affair
The speaker was introduced by
Anatole Mozer, junior, a student in
the college of arts and sciences,
Odessa, Russio. Mr. Corbett is con
nected directly with the Council on
Christian World Education. He has
spent the majority of his life in the
orient and he has travelled through
out the world, ever keeping in tench
