The thrill of sffine a riiiet balance himself on to madly dashing horses is genuine. But for the average individual, the sadilk will always be more satisfactory. Roman ridine ha? lost favor in sporting circles, largely because there is no place in its program for the normal individual . Activities as now conducted in the I'nivetMty have been developing into a form, analfous to an evireme type of Roman riding. And unless balanced bj" sensible, changes, their fate is likely to be dimin ished interest such as has followed Roman riding Kn analysis of tho record. of Llmo juniors an i scnicrs as given in last ear's Cornhuskei . show. 'that practically all of the extracurricular activists of the University were carried on by a mere handful of the total number, approximately eighty-five stu dents. To maintain (his load, these students had to io some fancy Roman riding. In last year's senior class, 112 s.;udeuis whose records appeared in the Cornhusker had never par ticipated in any eitra-curricular actiity. Three hun dred and fifteen seniors took pari in from tne to five activities during their four years in the Univer sity. The, bulk of these could hardly be said to hav had much extra-curricular activity, as bj far In greater number had belonged to a departmental club as their only activity. Fifty-three siudrnts plaed the major role, not in a few activities hut in all activi ties. Almost the fcame story is told b the junior class. One hundred ninety-six had never taken part in any activity. One hundred ninety two students toot part in from one to five activities with the most of thia -tvup merely belonging to one proies sional or department! organization. Thirty-three juniors rea'iy handled the etra-curricular activities of the class. The story of these 86 juniors and seniors is one of intensive application in extra curricular activities. If good students, they have probably carried the load without injury to themselves. But by their as suming such a disproportionate burdeu. normal ac tivity life ip denied the tremendous majority ot studenu. WHAT'LL I DO? '""natll I do tonight?" tveryone expects this weird plaint from the small child who is neither physically able to stand continued play or work nor mentally able to find new avenues of interest in pe riods of unusual dullness. Surprisingly enough, it often creeps out tn university circles. The University has many missions. Its arts and science departments have as their basic principle, 1 he leaching of such work as will add to living for its own sake. Other college groups profess to fur nish, primarily, technical or protessional knowledge along specialized lines. But throughout, the Univer sity bears .the mission to its students and to the state from which they come, of supplying students with media for satisfaction in times of leisure. it the Universi y is failing to develop in stu dents interests which make it possible for studente to entertain themselves, it is failing in one of the major purposes of higher education. And. peculiarly enough, students failing to seek and to find those interests are slipping on one of the major advan tages offered by a University with its varied fields of endeavor and of interest. AT THE POLICE STATION Sixty-rine college students, chiefly from the Uni versity of Nebraska, were arrested on criminal charges by Lincoln police during the fiscal year which ended August 31. Of this number sixty-four were university men and four, university women To some this rex:ord may seem well nigh appalling but a careful consideration or facts proves it is really a remarkable one. Very few of the offenses, it may he observed, were of a serious nature. Most or the complaints were for bogus check writing and piv thievery. In most cases students were paroled Dd nearly al ways they "made good." Approximately seven percent of the total num ber arrested in the riscal year recently ended were students. But as this is the percentage of student population In Lincoln it may be concluded that the student is the average citizen when It comes to a question of law obedlance. And the fact that the university student is the average is significant. Prom every corner of the slate, chiefly from towns and cities much smaller than Lincoln, these Itodents come every year. . Under different envir onment, confronted with entirely new problems, fac ing many hitherto unknown temptations, hundreds lavklAf parental guidance and restraint for the first tits, they are) to be congratulated on the fine show ing they have made. To new studenu especially, tha liaircrsity is naore or less of a millrush. Among the nearly (,000 enrolled it is not surprising that a lev filter. Throughout the country, parents are bewailing the criminal tendencies of modern youth. But these figures present evidence that in Nebraska, at least, it im not the university young people wlio are .how-fa- H toc'Hstion 1o Flrny afar from the proverbial atraigat and narrow path. CONTRIBUTING EDITORS Names of five students appear in the mast head of the Daily Nebraskan today as contributing edi tors. All have already had editorials published in this column. They plan to continue to add their mental and writing efforts to the Interpretation ol campus problems. Oihor students will be added lo the list as their contributions are accented. The Daily Nebraskan invites the participation of as many students as possible in the expression of stu dent opinion either in editorials or in the column. "In My Opinion." A STUDENT LOOKS AT puplm: AFFAIRS By David Fell man THE RAGGKU: Well, there is one advantage of going to Bleep in an afternoon class an hour of sleep before midnight is worth two after, so the saying goes. The com crop must have been a failure in some parts of the state, judging from the number of ab sences when the roll is called. Well, yes, the reader does make a difference in the opinion one has for an instructor, and a par ticular course. A popular selection from "Good News" says that the best things of life are free. Many a struggling social man wishes the co-eds would believe that. "IN MY OPINION Pledges Should Be Trained" During the first few weeks of school, every , fraternity is faced by the necessity of formulating a policy in regard to the treatment of its new 1 pledges. The worth of a fraternity may be judged mtv closely by its attitude toward its freshmen.; There are, unfortunately, a few fraternities which : seem to tegard taeir neophytes chiefly as conven ient butts for the pranks which have been played upon the upperclassmen in the past. But this is not ihe case universally. Most of the new pledges are J fortunate enough to find a spirit of cooperation in helping them meet their difficulties and a truly fraternal attitude toward their efforts to adjust them- sehes to fraternity Hie. Wheneer this is the case, the new pledge may well be congratulated upon his choice of a fraternity. We do not wish to imply that discipline among fraternity pledges is unnecessary. The experience ot many ;ears of fraternity history seems to show that it is best both for the fraternity and the pledge if the latter has definite duties to perform and is made tn fulfill them. But this does not in the least excuse any form of brutal or humiliating treatment of freshmen. Upperclassmen should keep constantly in mind the iact that the freshman is new both 10 the university and to traternity life. In many cases it is his first experience of living at close quarters with a large group of men. His adjustment to his new enironment is not unnaturally a little difficult at first. The wise and thoughtful upperclassman will exert himself to reduce this difficulty 10 the minimum possible. M. L. H. L. Mencken, r.rch critic- ot American Institutions, recently made the following declaration: "Parties mean nothing. That Is so obvious that even newspaper edi torial writers have noticed it. Tarties, under democracy, are sim ply gangs of professional Job seek ers. Even their heads belong to the category." ' This is a pretty hold statement. What Is your reaction lo It? It would be interesting 10 read Ihe opinions of students relative to the value and position of political par ties In American life. The Daily Nebraskan -welcomes any intelligent expression of stu dent opinion on current problems. This is a student publication, a mir- ror of student life and thought. Those who have given up hope ! for Chicago, and have reached the ; conclusion that the only thing that can be done to remedy the lawless- ness or the great metropolis is to call in the marines, may find some comfort In recent press notices which seem to Indicate that the po lice department has not yet gone into hibernation We read of a se ries of week end raids which re sulted in the apprehension of twenty-five men and two women, "ihe greatest single blow at Chicago crime in recent months."

The report of the Illinois association fur criminal justice is illuminating In the last tour years there were 13 gang murders. Over 1 6 1 eangsters and bootleggers were killed in Kittles with the police. In ! 1926. 33$ indictments were returned I for murder, resulting in but 55 con-! fictions, of which were reduced ' to manslaughter, miring the same ; ?er, felony charges were bled j against 12,513 persons. 594 wpre! coniciej and third of these! were either eranted a new trial, or) received probation or a reduction j in sentence. As a part of the preparation for this year's freshman athletic pro gram, Anton Stankowski, head freshman coach in all sports nt the University of Missouri has com piled a record of last year's fresh man athletic activities. The record shows that 576 fresh men reported in the six sports that were offered them. Of the total number to report 430 stayed out during the entire season, and 261 were awarded numerals. There were 23 tennis In all and 117 games were played. tin? hundred and fifty of ihe number to report took part in more than one sport. Twentywo states were represented in the freshman roster and Illinois was second to Missouri in the number of representatives. Leagues were formed in the four major sports and teams rep resenting and composed of stu dents from southwestern Missouri, south central Missouri, southeast ern Missouri, Kansas City, St. I.ouis, eastern United States and western United States competed In an inter-freshman athletic ; league. The southwestern Missouri ( freshmen won the all-year champ- j lonship. Football, always a popular sport with the freshmen, led in the number of representatives. One hundred and fifty reported. 1 1 ; stayed out. P4 numerals were awarded. 6 teams formed a league ! that played 3i games, and the av-1 erage attendance was 72.

OTHER EDITORS SAY WHEN STUDENTS GATHER Two lessons may be learned from the Tenth Congress of the International Student Confederation j held recently in Paris, at which representatives of i student bodies in more than forty countries were assembled. The first lesson is the necessity of con tinuing these annual meetings at all costs. They serve the laudable purpose of helping the coming1 generation to think internationally. An international j student brotherhood is being unfolded, which should ! bear fruit when these young persons of today have ; entered upon responsible duties. The second lesson is that more care should be ' isken to insure the avoidance of such incidents as occurred this year at Faris.

What wish is uppermost; to foster international good will, or to exaggerate national susceptibilities? Despite the episodes alluded to, however, useful work was accomplished by the congress of the stu dents confederation. The United States took part for the first time, and Mexico was admitted. Inter national exchange of students was promoted, and a new grasp of conditions of students all over the world was gained by the student delegates, to be taken back to their respective countries and ex plained to the fellow students there.

U. and surviving the usual load of advice, took up bis work with high hopes and expectations. In an early session of one class a professor held up a question of his to ridicule, insinuating that no cm so dumb as to ask it should attempt to enter a university. As a result of such humiliation it was added to later the freshman checked out of K. U. with the remark that his fees and time bad represented a 'worm-eaten purchase." He went to the University of Chicago and since bis graduation from there has made an enviable record. Although the practice is not general, more than one K. U. professor could be charged with such an ofiense. Years of repetition render a subject to absurdly simple to the one who teaches It that a reasonable question from the st Jem's standpoint may seem absurd. This factor, together with the satisfaction of professional ego and the opportunity for relief from the monotony of a beginning course is probably responsible for the "htrd-bolb d" out bursts in which some professors seem to delight. The change from home life to college Is by no means an eisy one and professors should be care ful not to dd t lis difficulty. I'vivernty kanmin.
