THE DAILY NEBRASKAN (Continued from Paga 1)' "I doubt whether a man taking a college course should view it as a preparation for public life. He should first equip himself to make a success !n private life, either business or professional. A man who merely ha3 an academic education is only par tially equipped for public life. He still lacks the contact with hi fellow men which is needed. He must learn io know men after knowing books. In public Jif srd in public prTsirR he must represent men and act for them."

He further writes: Ability to Think "The only requirement for a man graduating from college, as far as we see it, is the ability to think and analyze different problems that may arise in the business and to further have the ability to mix with his fel lowmen. This is a rather common requirement to all businesses.

Tribute Paid Former Head Of University Dr. and Mrs. Avery Are Guests At Honor Banquet Given For Community Chancellor Emeritus Samuel Avery and Mrs. Avery were honored at a dinner given Tuesday evening at the Student Activities building, which was attended by three hundred mem bers of the University community, including faculty members and em ployees of the University. Three gifts were presented to Dr. and Mrs. Avery. An illuminated ad dress was the gift of the faculty, and a silver service and a memorial book of letters was given by the Uni versity community. Dean J. E .LeRossignol acted as toastmaster for the affair, and speeches were made by Chancellor E. A. Burnett, Regent Harry D. Lan dis, ex-Regents J. L. Teeters, George M. Seymour, C. B. Anderson, W. G. Anderson, and E. B. Brown, praising the work done by Dr. Avery while he was at the head of the University. Morrill Sends Gift In a letter from 'C. H.

This was the sec ond gift of that amount to be con tributed by Mr. Morrill to the fund. Regent Landis commended Dr. Avery for his financial policy while in office. Today the University gets twenty-nine cents from each Ne braska tax dollar, a condition due in no little way to the activity of Dr. Avery. He also prai.ied the chancellor emeritus for his direction of educa tional work. He stated that Dr. Avery neither stressed the cultural nor the vocational to an extreme, but rather struck a happy medium. Mr. E. P. Brown presented the il. luminated address, which was com. posed by Dean L. A. Sherman. The memorial book was presented by pro. fessor Lawrence Fossler. The volume which is bound in red morrocco, con tains about 150 letters written to the Averys from friends. The tea and coffee service was presented by Mrs. L. A. Sherman, after Lieut. Colonel F. F.

For the manner in which the year-book was received on the campus yes terday was the most enthusiastic of many seasons.

" We ipreciate the work and initiative that was necessary for the- originality and attractiveness of the Ike-uP Such work, however, although noteworthy is more or less mechanical. But ajunon -an excellent book from a mechanical point of view, tahe staff has caught the spirit of the University and Portrayed it effectively throughout the book. It is for thta achievement that we especially offer our praise. th It difficult to keep an annual from the vanity class in which are collected pictures and b"J;patbng write-ups. For, in crystallizing campus life, the book must necessarily be filled with pictures There must be. then, some connecting theme that dominates the book. In their dedication to the spirit of democracy and op portunity the staff found a theme that not only ef fectively connects the various sections but also reflect the spirit of the University of Nebraska, The student life section many times the black sheep of the Cornhusker sections comes in for its share of the praise. It contains some clever articles, some good exaggerations of campus life, and a few lines tucked here and there which would indicate that the section has been used by some contributors as a place for safely voicing their grudges against those they dislike. But these very bits of animosity make it only more typical of real campus life. For we have heard and we are reasonably sure that we are not mistaken such catty remarks in campus chatter. The attractive arrangement, the material, the por trayal of university spirit all are achievements which cause us to pause in our work on our own publication and offer sincere praise to our neighbors, the members of the Cornhusker staff. THE ADVISER THE WORMS ARE TURNING The students of the James Millikin University at Decatur, 111., are going to grade the teachers who, for so long, have tagged everything from Lb to H to the students' names. This unique situation arose when the Dccaturian, the student weekly, issued voting slips to students to regiser their estimation of their teach ers. The professors will be graded according to their liberal and progressive attitude, sense of humor, breadth of culture, artistry in teaching, and ability to stimulate intellectual curiosity. Outside of the glorious opportunity given to the students to pay back a few grudges, this movement has a concrete worth. Many an excellent course has been ruined for a student, not because the instructor is unfamiliar with the subject, or incapable of teaching it, but rather because the personality of the instructor is antagonistic, ir because he is so narrow-minded that he fails to get the student's viewpoint, or in some way, fails to get the sympathy of the student. If this one instructor affects the majority of the students in the same way if the students give an honest opinion and declare him unpopular then that member of the fac ulty should be supplanted by one who will be better able to understand the needs of the pupil. Perhaps if some of the' professors were graded, the answer to the question, "What makes one university more popular than another," might be found. Colum bia Missourian. PERSONALITY PLUS Have you personality? If not, then you positively do not have a chance to succeed. The old tune, "Everybody's Doing It, Doing It Now," might be changed to "Personality's All of It, All of It Now." If one finds that he is not getting by as well as he might expect to get by, then something is wrong with his personality. It is difficult to' understand how anyone got along before this handy vord was added to the vocabulary. Primitive peoples could only make mysterious signs, which could not give one a chance to express his per sonality, even if he were fortunate enough to possess any. So these poor, ignorant ancestors of ours went blindly along, not knowing that by developing their personality they could become modern and popular overnight. You can't get a job without it. You can't win the girl of your dreams. You can't do much of anything except sit at home and think wistfully of friends who are succeeding financially and socially because of their personality. But you do not need to be encumbered all your life. There are remedies. Learn to play a saxophone, take lessons in ballroom dancing, lose your halitosis, learn to talk brilliantly in any kind of company, watch that danger line, know your salad forks. There are other methods, but these are sufficient to bring you that wonderful quality "personality." You can't afford to be without it. University Daily Kansan. With many other events that take time of students in the spring is registration for next year. From many quarters come complaints about registration. One of the most frequently heard concern advisers. The adviser can be of great help to the student. But the student is human as everyone else. He rebels at being dictated to, and he gredtly likes to have some interest shown in his problems. There are two classes of advisers that cause com plaints more than ay others. Ope of these ie the "hard boiled" professor who insists on the student taking certain courses. This jars the student he hates any- thi.iz comsililsory. Requirements are rtecessary and most students will admit the fact. Many of them would take courses listed as requirements if they were al lowed the choice. Eut to be told just what must be done does not "go" with the student. He feels he is coming to school to learn what he wants to and any effort to make him educated by the dictates of the school makes him disgruntled. When he enters the dic tated course in the fall he will probably do so half heartedly, whereas if he had chosen it himself he would start out in a mood willing to learn. The second type of adviser which students dislike is the indifferent instructor. He is the person who signs the registration slip without looking it over, without asking questions, and who when questioned regarding courses answers in a bored manner. He could, with a little effort, help the student considerably by explaining about proposed courses. Advice, when it seems gen uine, is liked by most students. They request opinions of learned men and will take them to heart. But when all the student gets from his conference with an ad viser is a signature on his slips, he has not got all that is due him. He should have a preliminary knowledge of the courses he is registering for, and the conscien tious adviser will give it to him. Many advisers suit the students, however, and they will show their choice by going to an instructor they think is a good adviser. Unless for certain reasons, such as being official adviser for a certain group of WHY GO TO COLLEGE? Now that the great post-war rush to colleges and universities has subsided, and the hysteria for higher education is dying to glowing ember3, it is possible for the saner minds of the educational world to make somewhat of an impression when they speak of uni versity education from a detached standpoint. It is this kind of detached viewpoint, apparently, which Dean Wilbur Humphreys of the literary college assumed Thursday night when he spoke to the high school edi tors, saying, "Don't go to college if you don't want to. Go to college if you want to get a college education, lor then we will be glad to have you." The statement, in itself, is an unqualified indict ment of the type of propagandist who harasses high school assemblies with speeches on the monetarv value of education, and the social advantages. Continuing along the same line, Dean Humphreys approached a similar weakness in our educational system when he upbraided the type of technical education that exists purely for its technical side. "The broad cultural edu cation which is really the foundation Of all profes sions," as outlined by Dean Humphreys, is a thing far too vaiuame to De glossed over in our over-enthusiastic attempts to gain technical training. The literary college's assistant dean, in n Rino-l0 speech, has apparently struck at the heart of two very FIUU1C. t-onironiing American education at the present time. In regard to the first of thesethe rand rush to the colleges the tide bpptt., , ...v siding somewhat by itself, with the inauguration of nmunuauy more stringent entrance requirements to xulouio inswiutions ol higher learning. The sec ond problem, however, the problem of over-emphasis on the technical side of college courses, is ever in the forefront, and certainly interlocks very definitely with the entire cause of education. nr0JleP7iaHZe in fieId of technical t? for . professional purposes, is, in short, a necessary part of neLryrf Rt'S ?Tl?

For ten days "The Snorting Venus" faithful ly served its owners and then carried them all the way back to Kansas for a summer in the wheat fields. Enterprising Youth Back in the summer of 1927 ten enterprising Nebraska youths pooled their resources and rented a cabin for ten dollars a week and took in the conference, at the cost of about five dollars a piece for their board and room. For the youth who knows the joy of resources be they limited or other wise, there are er tages with all the comforts of home and a space at the side to park father's car under the pines. Then there is the cafeteria with variety and quantity at prices that will quite astonish father's pocketbook.
