Every student forms some opinion concerning his
instructors. But when questioned concerning that opin-.
ion he is rarely able to give other than a noncommittal
answer of "He's fine," "Oh, he's all right," or "He's
terrible." The list outlined by the Penn State students
is a good one to use as a means of rating the faculty
members.
We might even go further and add that instruc
tors might find it worth-while to read over this list
of what students consider requirements of a good
faculty member.

SCHOLASTIC COMPETITION
t-v t ; SnteT-sTriolastic innovations is
LUC Mllfc " TI-1V
fund of $125,000 which was given by Mrs. V llliam
Lowell Putnam to Harvard university to be used
in the promotion of interscholastic competition in
scholarship. The first of the events is to be held April
30 between Yale and Harvard in a test lasting three
hours and covering the field of English literature. Ten
representatives of Harvard will meet the same number
from Yale and the prizes for which they will put forth
their utmost effort are made up from the fund given
by Mrs. Putnam. Each member of the victorious team
will receive a medal and five hundred dollars worth
of books. The judges are to be selected from neutral
schools and the examinations are to be made up by
three professors, one from Harvard, Yale and Prince
ton. The income from this- fund is not to be limited to
these two schools but will be employed to promote
similar contests in leading universities throughout the
nation.
Today the leading form cf interscholastic compe
tition is in athletics. Thousands of dollars are spent in
the carrying out of the physical education and prepara
tion for these contests and it is not unusual to see
thousands of people massed into a stadium to see two
universities place the best they have in athletics in op
position to each other. Among the benefits are the
development of strong physiques and the supplying
of trained coaches for the teams of the future. A newer
form cf graduation is the exit from college to the ranks
of professionals.
This is not said with any intention of minimizing
the benefit derived from the present extent cf ath
letics, but rather to show the extent to which such
training and system has stretched the resulting bene
fits, and the value of interscholastic competition. The
spirit back of competition of this type, in the desire
to represent a school against the picked of any ether,
adds interest and an incentive to labor through tire
some routine drills.
And now the incentive f interscholastic competi
tion has been added to scholarship. It would be useless
to advocate that there will come a time when crowds
rivaling those of the football classics will gather to
watch such competition. There is not enough cf the
spectacular to attract the public in such a degree.
It effect upon the undergraduate may, however,
be more marked. With the possibility cf gaining re
nown through interscholastic competition students may
turn to their books with an added interest. Others who
have not the ability to be eligible for participation will,
nevertheless, be influenced by the new interest in
scholarship.
Such contests will merit the attention of the
newFpyers and the publicity which scholarship would
thus receive will bring the realization to the reading
public that studies, after all, play a dominant part in
the life of a student.

Peculiar Feature Shows Up
A peculiar feature of the senior
publications board race is that the
two candidates parallel the candi
dates presented by the same factions
a year ago. Charles O. Bruce, "Blue
Shirt" candidate is business manager
of the Cornhusker and is basing his
campaign on his experience and con
tact with university publications. A
year ago Ralph Bergsten, candidate
of the "Slippery Seven" faction, now
the "Blue Shirts" was also business
manager of the Cornhusker.
Tom Elliott, letter man and a
member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, wi.f
the South side, "Oily Six" or what is
now known as the "Yellow Jackets"
candidate running against Bergsten
a year ago. inis year led James,
also a letter man and member of
Sigma Phi Epsilon, is the "Yellow
Jacket" candidate.
Last year's race for the position
was further complicated by the cam
paign waged by Dorothy Nott, sup
ported by Theta Sigma Phi, honor
ary journalistic sorority. Bergsten
was elected and has been serving on
the publications board this year.
Complications of the race for posi
tions on the publications board by a
girl's candidacy is furnished this
year in the race for the junior mem
ber where Maxine Hill is - running
against Ray E. Sabata and Willard

JABBERWOCKY
Victorian England saw Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
as a promising young mathematics lecturer at Oxford
with his treatises attracting; attention in academic cir
cles. When in an unguarded moment he wrote "Alice
in Wonderland" the use of a pseudonym did not serve
to veil the identity of the author. He was annoyed at
his trivialities attracting public notice so annoyed that
he snubbed the great Victoria when she manifested in
terest. He did not wish his professional career blighted
by a light comedy reputation.
Yesterday the press reported the sale of "Alice in
Wonderland" in the original manuscript for more than
fifteen thousand pounds. A first edition brought five
hundred pounds. Thus does it come about that the fame
cf whimsical Lewis Carroll dwarfs that of learned Pro
fessor Dodgson.
The work was written on a hot summer afternoon
in 1862 to amuse a couple of little girls. Today in Har-

CASH ART
An English poet, ranked as one of the finest from
a Lterary standpoint, recently remarked that he would
have to go back to his old trade of selling automobiles,
for his last book had sold only two hundred copies in
all England. An American poet of equal rank has
earned something like three hundred dollars in the past
five years.
These two facts indicate again the increasing dif
ficulty of finding a publisher for good books, and the
journahstic nature of almost the entire body of con
temporary literature. When popular fiction run, into
sale, of hundred thousand, and it. author, make small
fortune, on book, magazine, and movie rights, it i. no

known as "Blue1 Shirts" gave another
serenade at the fall election this
year.
Co-Eds Enter Race
Failure of more than one eligible
girl to file for the two positions open
to senior women led to rumors of
other sorority candidates who would
be written in. Pi Beta Phi announced
Monday that Laura M. Buchanan's
name would be written in by that
sorority in an attempt to" elect her
and Gamma Phi Beta announced the
same of Mary Ball. Rumors of an al
liance of these two organizations
with other sororities running candi
dates to elect both by writing in their
names were prevalent yesterday.
Announcement of the results of
the election will be carried by The
Daily Nebraskan to the Inter frater
nity and Panhellenic banquets as
soon as the winning candidates are
determined. Count of the ballots will
begin as soon as the polls close at
5 o'clock. Council officials estimate
that results will not be available be
fore 7:30 o'clock at the earliest.

When Dad was a "Modern Youth"
Q 3 CYCLES, stereopticon lectures,
tJLJ and the "gilded" youths with
their horses and carts; at night the
midnight oil burning in student
lamps while the gas lights glired and
flickered across the campus the
gay nineties when Dad was in
college seem primitive to us to-day.
Now it's sport roadsters, the
movies, and radios. At night -
the MAZDA lamp replaces
the midnight oil in dormi
tory rooms, while modern
street lighting sheds its friendly
glow over the campus.
Without electricity we would
have none of these improve
ments. To-day's marvel of electrical
invention becomes to-morrow's
accepted latiliry. In the coming
years, by taking advantage of new
uses of electricity you will be
able to go so much farther
that the "tearing twenties"
will seem just as primitive
as the "gay nineties".
