THE VALLEY TRACK MEET
Nebraska is host today and tomorrow to the track
teams of the Missouri Valley conference in their an
nuaT cutest for track supremacy. The V.ry
events will be completed this afternoon and the finals
vail be staged Saturday.
Interest in track has increased rapidly m tho past
few years. SUnding out as the sport least tainted by
professionalism, it has attracted the public eye. The
Spirit of keen competition, the sight of young ; men
striving for honors, the knowledge of the necessity for
rigid training-ll have played their part m advancing
track to the position it now holds in the sport world.
In addition to the competitive interest, another
interesting fact concerning the 1923 track classic .s
that it is the last time that any athletic competition
will be staged under the direction of the present Mis
souri Valley conference. For, while the track meet is
being held, olTicials of the "Big Six" are meeting to
formulate plans for the establishment of the new con
ference.
Nebraska extends a hearty welcome to the athletes
participating in the meet and to those who are here
to witness the classic
Can Swing Anyway Headline in the Omaha
World-Herald. We could not determine whether it re
ferred to students or a baseball player's ability at bat.
FACULTY DISAPPROVAL
That students have not been unduly excited by the
traffic regulations recently imposed on R and Sixteenth
streets by Lincoln city officials is indicated by the
gathering cloud of faculty disapproval of the present
regulations.
Day by day, The Daily Nebraskan has been ques
tioning members of the faculty. The majority are as
heartily out of sympathy with the influx of commercial
traffic and the decrease in available parking space as
are the majority of the student body.
Students hesitate to express themselves too vig
orously on 6uch subjects through fear of heaping the
usual condemnation of the irrationality of youth. But
in this case; at least, it appears that the fault of the
students has been one of apathy rather than of over
emphasis. The Daily Nebraskan believes that the University
has a just grievance. Parallel parking has greatly de
creased the parking areas available to student and
faculty automobiles. This might have been justifiable
if greater safety had been secured. To the contrary,
the parallel parking has increased the dangers in the
affected area by speeding up traffic and attracting a
heavy city traffic plus the vicious trucking traffic which
is as dangerous as it is noisy and unpleasant.
Lincoln wanted the University where it is. It
wanted it bad enough to keep it from being removed
to the present College of Agriculture campus. It is now
Lincoln's duty to adjust itself to giving the University
the quiet and freedom from commercial distraction
which is one of the principal essentials of a University.
Parallel narking may be advantageous to Lincoln's
scenic lovers and to her trucking business. It is decid
edly unpleasant and detrimental to tho best interests
of the University.
The only effective medium, apparently, is student
complaint of the present situation. Students have voiced
their views volubly on the campus. They should be
heard by Lincoln city officials. A steady stream of com
plaints pointing out the disadvantage and injustice to
the University of the present biIimuiuii, wouia oe no in
significant factor in helping divert the traffic which is
now a nuisance and a menace to the interests alike of
students and faculty of a great mid-western university.

NEW SELECTIVITY
In the past seven years the position of the Medical
school of the University, like other professional schools,
was made extremely difficult because of the rapidly
growing demands for a professional education and the
limited facilities of the school. Each year the number
of applicants refused has increased until in the current
year the school accepted only one-fourth of the appli
cants for admission for a degree.
But in this elimination of many applicants it has
been felt that the selectivity was not satisfactory, for
in regarding scholarship alone, the school was missing
many other points of selection which could be well
employed in the selections of prospective doctors.
The Board of Regents at its recent meeting ac
cepted the plan which has been devised by Dean Cabot
of the Medical school. The applicants for admission will
not only be required to have high scholarship records,
but each applicant must also appear before a special
committee which will judge his fitness in matters which
have much to do with success in the profession. The
things which will be considered by this committee will
be personality, general history, honesty, intelligence,
and practical suitability for entrance into the pro
fession. The intelligent selectivity which will result from
this combination of scholarship and personality is a
step toward the ideal in American education. It will not
only raise the standard of the profession but it will also I
They are indicated, however, as a
necessary development that will
round out the student, and overcome
the tendency to become a grind.
High scholastic attainment and pro
ficiency in studies is a fundamental
necessity for success to the college
man in business. If in the attempt
to attain a scholastic standing, the
student buries himself, he will
emerge from his college course in a
rut, from which it may often take
him years to extricate himself, and .which science enables him to know

Salasmanship la Art
Salesmanship is an art, tho import
ance of which is very much under
estimated by the average college
man. The day of the loud mouth,
loafing, llounging salesman is a thing
of :he past. The salesman, like the
doctor and the lawyer must build up
a clientele. To do this he must make
a study or trie insurance business ill
ita entirety. He must have knowl
edge not only of all of the policy
contracts or forms of insurance, but
also he must know how the com
panies ho represents are organized,
what is their financial strength, how
they are financed, and their methods
of doing business. He must be con
versant with finances, almost on the
plane of the banker. So fortified,
be approaches his prospect not mere
ly with a stereotyped sales talk, but
as an insurance adviser.
The successful salesman should

Insurance as a factor in the in-

management, with other subsidiary
lines that come in under these two
main heads, there must be a high de-
dustrial and financial development gree of technique and professional
of this country is assuming such gi-i knowledge that the college man with
frantic proportions, that to continue
successfully onward, it must in it
employment have the assistance of
trained minds. It is with enthus
iasm, therefore, that an appeal is
made to you as college men to inter
est yourself in insurance as a busi
ness career.

It is a mistake for the college man
to jro out Into the business world
with the idea that he can command a
large income or that success will im
mediately come within his reach. It
is not what a college man has at-
Jtained five or ten years after he has
insurance business and in the con
to sell.
If he ats an inside jOJ nnd in
terests himself in accounts and cred
its, he will be started on clerical de
tail and bookkeeping, and by degrees
will be taught financing and business
organization. If he starts in the
claim department, he will be given
a desk job and will spend his time
alternately in the office learning
hovr to LuilJ up and handle claim
files and on the outside interviewing
and taking statements from wit
nesses, and investigating xacts on
cases that will be given him. He
will also be taught the principles of
safety engineering, and how to make
inspections, and to check and audit
payrolls. 11 of these tasks are of a
routine nature and do not require a
college education to handle. How
ever, they are the basis of the knowl
edge a department head or an execu
tive must possess.
A college training properly ac
quired and applied fits a man for
the responsible positions in life. The
college man should have initiative
and be industrious. He should not
continually await directions, but af
ter acquiring the knowledge from
years of experience in the business,
should know how to master and han
dle in all details the task at hand.

TO REMIND US FOREVER
A scientist, an inventor, a statesman, a naval lead
er, and a poet have all been honored as great Americans
by the unveiling of five new busts in the Colonnade of
the Hall of Fame at New York University.
This list includes Agassiz, the zoologist; Morse, the
inventor of the telegraph; Rufus Choate, lawyer and
statesman; John Paul Jones, famous naval hero; and
Whittier, the poet of anti-slavery fame.
While there is not a Washington nor a Lincoln in
the list of those honored, yet each of the five has con
tributed much in furthering civilization and culture in
the United States and in helping to build up American
traditions. The names of some are probably unfamiliar
to many Americans. Vet their achievements are cer
tainly worthy of the highest honor.
That is why one is glad to learn of their selection
for the Hall of Fame. Enshrined there, their memorials
will serve to keep America and Americans from com
pletely forgetting the valuable services these five men
have rendered to their nation and to the world. The

Meet for Championship

age of dope upsets and it is through
this agency that the Cornhuskers lay
their hopes on gaining their sixth
Valley outdoor track championship,
all of the five preceding ones under
the tutelage of 'Indian" Schulte.
Keith, Oklahoma, is probably the
most outstanding man who will ap
pear in the meet. He Is an all-victorious
distance man in the mile and
two mile runs this season and is
likely to better the records in these
events. Epstein, Missouri, and John
son, Nebraska, should race it out for
honors in the 880-yard run.
Contests In Dashes
The dashes will be hotly contested
with Adkinson, Oklahoma; Grady,
Kansas; Easter, . Nebraska; Parks,
Drake; and Engle, Iowa State as the
men most likely to place. Hursley,
Missouri, who has run the 440-yard
event in 49.6 seconds this season,
looms as the winner of that event.
Bryce and Drake, Oklahoma; and
English, Missouri, should fight it out
for honors in the pole vault, with
Ossian, Nebraska, a likely place win
ner. The most interesting race of the
meet, which opens the program each
3ay will be the 120-yard high hurdle
event. Trumble, Nebraska, looks good

achieved only mediocrity in the va
npus walks of life were dwelt upon
with any emphasis, it would form a
sweeping indictment against college
training, and would rob the college
man of all the higher aspirations he
has in life.
Many Men Fail
But why dwell upon the failures of
life? Men without number, cherish
ing high ambitions, have failed of at
tainment, and in disappointment
have marched on a the ranks of toil
solaced and comforted with the
thought of what they might have at
tained had they been of the favored
lew endowed with the benefits of a
college education. It is what is ex
pected of the college men that points
at him the finger of scorn and the
comments of indignation when he
fails to accomplish results, and
achieve what should be his high
ideal
The writer of this article has,
therefore, mainly in mind in the de
velopment of his theme, the setting
out of the faults and shortcomings
that may unconsciously be developed
in undergraduate days, which if not
eliminated will rise as a later barrier
to the success of the college man in
life. Every boy in college looks for
ward in expectancy to Commence
ment day. . Did you ever stop to con
sider the significance of the word
"commencement" as applied to the
day on which the college student fin
ishes his course and graduates? It
is the commencerrnt f cr him of life.
It 5s ILe bs-gfcn'J'g for him of s far

was fcut a preparation. The trials,
the struggles, the disappointments of
life, are just to begin.
Obstacles Should Be Met
Would it not be better if the stu
dent in Jus trfjnir.g hac" been school
ed to meet some of these obstacles?
The eiuuent who works his wry
through college and is called upon to
earn fr his sustenance, and the pay
ment of his tuition, has a later be
ginning advantage in the business
world. The student of means who
does not have to concern himself
ebout finances and who is triven a
liberal parental allowance, is creating
an obstacle for himself that he will
later regret.
There are agencies working in the
modern college today, which if they
put themselves to the study of the
problem, could work toward a solu
tion. College organizations especial
ly fraternities, that are already do
ing so much good in a social way
among the student body, should in
augurate a code of ethics, an honor
roll so to speak, or some system
whereby the student to gain respect
and prestige among his associates
would be required to show that he is
a producer, a worker, and an earner.
The man of means by such required
eiiorts could, where the income he
thus derives is not necessary for his
sustenance, have it applied through
his fraternity to some endowment
fund for furthering the interests of
the institution that later is to become
his Alma Mater.
College Is Training; Field
I he college course is a training
field. The athlete in conditioring
himself for a season of intercolleg
iate contests denies himself physical
comforts, and by close application to
the task in hand, brings himself to a
high plane of mvscular development.
Similarly, the student chould master
his mental development. The first
task of self-relianse will have been
accomplished when the student devel-

artivw prxticipstion in athletics if . ae
student is physically adapted, or at
least physical exercise to develop a
healthy body so necessary to support
an active mind. In addition, social
contact along with mental develop
ment, can be obtained by literary,
dramatic and debating society activ
ities. AH these features thus far advo
cated and enumerated as part of the
curriculum of training are reaTly out

where in industry and the college
man has before him the wonderful
opportunity of filling up the gap.
What has been said in this article
of the college man applies in similar
respect to the college woman. To
supplement the college course, a sec
retarial course covering shorthand
and typewriting should be taken. It
is mostly through stenographic work
that a woman gets her insight into
bubiness problems and with knowl
edge thus acquired, coupled with a
trained mind, she can become a val
UMe asset in an insurance agency.
In conclusion let me urge upon
you a cultivation of the attributes
of integrity and loyalty. Honesty is
not merely the best policy; it is n
absolute essential to business suc
cess. There is nothing that appeals
so much to me as college spirit You
exemplify it in your athletic con
tests. As you pledge your supnort
to your Alma Mater, so also be ever
loyal in advancing the interest of
your employer and your reward will
be the crown of success.
