PRE-MED DAY
Fre-Med students will be guests of the College
of Medicine at Omaha today and tomorrow. Dunng tha
S rtXt. will be given an opportunity to mspect
Te various departments, to attend special chrncs and
operldons, and to acquaint themselves with hfe on the
0maEngaagcPdUSin the activities of Engineers' Week
Pharmacy Week, Farmers' Fair, and preparations for
BizaTSav, little attention is given to this week-end trip
S the Pre-Meds. But to the 150 or 200 student taking
preparatory work for the study of medicine th,s is their
most valuable week-end in the year.
Some students taking the Fre-Med course have
never witnessed an operation. Others have only a vague
idea of the requisites of such a profession. And there
are those who are wondering why certain preparatory
courses which they are required to take are really
Such a trip as is being taken this week-end clears
many of these problems. Those interested in the study
return to their work with the added spirit of one who
has caught a glimpse of his goal. Likewise, a few may
return with the realization that they are no.t suited for
the duties that lie before them.
We are glad that the College of Medicine extends
this invitation and we hope that those students taking
advantage of the opportunity do so with a realization
of the purpose of the trip.
WHAT ABOUT SMOKING? ,
The story published over the nation about Freddie
Riggs four-year-old Seattle boy, who smokes cigars,
carries with it the statement that Freddie's intelligence
has been advanced one year above the average by his
use of tobacco for two years. That is about as reason
able as some of the admonitions given students against
smoking.
Dr. J. Rosslyn Earp of Antioch college recently
gave a report intended to show the relationship between
the use of tobacco and scholarship. While he found that
the greatest percent of the students who won honors
were non-smokers, he pointed out that although there
was a relation shown between the two there was no
evidence for the fact that tobacco had anything to do
with the scholarship achievements or lack of achieve
ments. He said it might be that "there are one or more
attributes closely correlated. both with smoking and low
scholarship." In consideration of the argument often
given that tobacco produces laziness, he said it might
be true, or it might be that the lazy man is the one
who finds smoking agreeable.
The opinion of Dr. Rufus A. Lyman, dean of the
College of Pharmacy and professor of physiology, sup
ports the finding of Dr. Earp. Dean Lyman does not
think that the effect of smoking on scholarship can be
measured. No scientific tests are possible because indi
viduals are so different physically and mentally that
comparisons are difficult.
Dean Lyman explains that harm from nicotine on
grown men is more physical than mental. Students are,
as a rule, nearly maturely developed. The danger to
adults is centered on the nervous system controlling the
heart and the irritation of the respiratory system than
on the mind. Dean Lyman also points out that the
"doses" of nicotine that people can stand will vary;
that is another reason for the difficulty in determining
the relationship between mental activity and tobacco
Even while we have hundreds of brilliant men
today who are inveterate smokers, there is no telling
what their brilliancy might be if they were abstainers.
Dean Lyman suggests there may be relationship to
scholarship because mental inactivity may be brought
about by physical weaknesses caused by use of "the
weed" and the mental faculties thus dulled. We cannot
prove, he says, that tobacco has anything to do with
good or bad scholarship, but we do have evidence that
nicotine is a direct cause of bodily ills, and he thinks
it is the best policy to abstain for physical if not for
any increase of intellectual powers.
chants of certain houses who make a policy of allow
ing June bills to run over to the following September.
In outlining the program of the credit men, the sec
retary explained that the merchants were not complain
ing about the amount of the bills, but the unfair treat
ment and total disregard for credit obligations shown
by some organizations.
Much difficulty is encountered each fall in im
pressing upon new officers the necessity of paying up
outstanding statements, and maintaining a clean credit
slate. This is due chiefly to the lack of understanding
by new officers, or a failure to recognize the serious
position in which they place themselves by such a pro
n clure. To remedv the evil credit officers advise the
election of a commissary during the spring semester
in order to provide a period of training.
Results of the survey will be distributed to the
merchant members of the association that they may
limit the credit allowances of the offenders. Organiza
tions who formerly passed off budget deficiencies on
the goodwill of local merchants, hoping against hope
that no action to enforce payment would be taken, will
have to mend their ways, or find themselves on the
credit blacklist, for stringent methods will be employed
to enforce payments before summer vacation. The

IN ANSWER TO T. M.
In an article appearing this morning in the Soap
Box, the writer, T. M., decries the lack of a suitable
recreational parlor on this campus.
Many schools are building some place in which stu
dents may gather. The new Union building at the Uni
versity of Texas is an example of this trend. Ilere the
students have the opportunity of meeting between
their classes and associating with 'their fellows.
Nebraska has no such building at the present time.
but T. M. should bear in mind that Ellen Smith hallj
serves the purpose for the co-eds. But with the present
building program of the University, a plan for such a
. building for the men is impossible for some time.
T. M. suggests that a recreational parlor be riaced
in Andrews halL But the- floors of this building have
been completed, and all available space has been made
into classrooms. Besides, Andrews hall, Is not suitably
located lor a recreational parlor, being away from the
center of the campus, and where too few students
would go to take advantage of auch a room.
At some later date a plan such as Tl M. suggests
might be worked out. but the need of more classrooms
is too great for the consideration of it now.
EDUCATION
In his discussion of University problems, President
Spencer, in his inaugural address, epkrramatically
summed up a solution to the much discussed subject of
mass education in the following words:
To every boy or girl an opportunity, but to no boy
or girl an opportunity beyond his deserts.
Standards at the University have been raised and
it is harder now to get in, harder to stay in and harder
to graduate. But by this process of making the Uni
versity a place requiring more effort to earn a diploma,
the value of the sheepskin has been enhanced. The de
precating charges of "mob education" used as a slur,
overshoot the mark when to have graduated means one
has been tested mentally and has not been found
wanting.
After the close of the fall quarter almost five hun
dred students were willing to admit hat the University
of Washinrton was not an institution where they served
lectures and quizzes to anybody and passed out diplo
mas with the same abandon. Those five hundred had
learned that, as shown by their work, they were not
up to the mental standard required. They had been
appraised and were not able to proceed. Notwithstand
ing the mass education charges they were asked to leave
to make way for others with better mental 'faculties.
Perhaps the scholarship requirements are still too
low to insure the type of graduate that Washington
wants. That will be decided as the situation is surveyed.
With high requirements the charges of mass edu
cation against a university should be taken as a com
pliment to the university and the people it serves.

RULES FOR "IT"
"Gentlemen prefer blonds" is a popular quotation
and it is said the reason is that blonds are dumber than
brunets. There are several more reasons, too, but an
other phrase, "beautiful, but dumb," has added impetus
to the first reason.
Several fraternity eds have given the matter their
serious consideration, and have arrived at some impor
tant scientific "donts", sugar-coated pills of wisdom
for the girls who want to either get over big and don't,
or those who do get over and don't want to.. For the
latter, it is suggested that they do' everything the rules
say not to, and not do anything the rules say to do.

Feeling that it is easier to tell a woman "what not
to do" than "what to do," these philosophers or op
timists, have outlined the following set of rules, take
heed, towit:
Don't look over our shoulder to read our news
paper. Go buy them at any newstand five cents.
Don't say .you "just adore" another boy, or girl
who is our rival or yours.
Don't accept an invitation to have a sandwich
and a coke and then order a full meal and a chocolate
malt.
Don't keep us waiting more than a half hour,
Don't say you are reducing and then eat every
thing in sight and order more.
On the way to a picture show in a bus, don't rave
about a wonderful musical comedy in Oklahoma City.
Don't ask our opinion as to the wisdom of retain
ing or doing away with you,r long hair.
Don't explain that you know that it is bad form,
but that you just love to chew gum, especially when
we do not haye said article.
Don't poise your cigaret gracefully and then puff
the smoke out before you have had time to taste it.
Don't be afraid to accept a date at the last minute,
esecially when you want it. We know we're supposed
to think you're popular.
Don't be avidly interested in the things you say
shock you.
Don't be continually looking for dates for your
rushees.

Many Novel Diaplaya
People were amazed and many
wondered in fchat world they were
in when they went through the var
ious buildings of the College of En
gineering and saw the many inter
esting, novel and unique displays that
seemed to be at every side.
Through the cooperation of the
departments of geology and physics
the night was made better still, hun
dreds of people passing through the
halls and corridors of Morrill hall. In
the E. E. building eggs were made
to fry and there was no source of
heat. Iron rods were heated to a red
intensity in water and then were
pounded and twisted into various
shapes. Mastodonian jaws broke up
specimens that were put under test
in the testing laboratories in the C.
E. building.
Over in the northwest corner of
the campus could be heard the put-
put-put of several engines of varioul
types, music was heard at frequent
intervals and intermittently came
that "terrible noise", as many were
heard to say, which was emitted from
the electric organ which was being
operated by some of the members of
the department of electrical engin
eering. Lights were ablaze and even the
darkness of the sky and the disagree
ableness of the evening did not seem
to thwart the fact that Engineers
Week was going to be a success in
spite of the climatic elements them
selves.

To the Editor:
The campus of the University of Nebraska lacks
a recreation parlor. This is something that is very es
sential to university life and higher education. Many
universities have euch a social parlor and it has met
the enthusiastic approval of the students.
On our campus there is no place for students to
stop and converse or enjoy a few minutes of spare
time. If students wish to stop and chat it is necessary
to stop in the1 crowded halls or in front of buildings
where they interfere with those wishing to go to classes.
The above statement might be a little exaggerated
for students are nearly always seen sitting on the curb
in front of Social Science building. But tuU is no ap
propriate place to loiter.
It would be a good thing and would certainly be
appreciated 5f the proper university authorities would
see fit to find room if such is possible for a recrea
tion parlor in the new building Cat is being erected.
It would afford a meeting place for students, a social
renter, and would aid groatiy in creating a better feel
ing among students. It vould also do away with .much
of the congestion and noise around the classrooms.
