RIDING TO A FALL
Homan riding is perhaps ihe mo! us-tmaUcs
type of horse racing. 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.

"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

Drastic steps surely must be
taken. 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. The j
western United States team won :

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. They were too con-'

meaning and possibilities of the congress were taken
by the delegates. Is the assembly international or
ultranational? !o the student delegates go to give
something or to demand something? 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. Hardly a
better training ground could be found for these

Electricity

CLASSROOM COURTESY
A few years ago a red-headed freshman enroJll
st K. 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.
