DESTROYING THE BALANCE.
Statements of Earl Clint- of Lincoln, member of
the University's board of regents, opposing the
amendment for the transfer of control over the state
schools for the deaf and blind to the board of re
gents should meet with the approval of thoughtful
university students.
Students, ordinarily working under pressure to
fulfill the tasks they have assumed, are generally
fully cognizant of the difficulties involved in trying
to handle several outside activities. Students of the
University, likewise, tend to become conscious of th
special and unique problems confronting the adminis
tration of such an institution as the state university.
Mr. Cline's arguments simmer down to this:
1. The Administration of the University re
quires an entirely different type of work than the
administration of the schools for the deaf and the
dumb.
2. The board of regmts. on its present basis,
would not be qualified to give proper care to the
administration of the schools for the deaf and blind.
These arguments are cogent reasons for the
defeat of the constitutional amendment. One addi
tional objection presents itself. There has been a
tendency to consider that appropriations made to
non-university functions which have already been
placed under the control of the regents have been
made to the University, when the institution asks
for necessary funds. That this tendency would con
tinue with detriment to the interests of both the
University and the schools for the deaf and the blind
under the proposed system Is to be feared.
THE START.
The first quarter Is over. Introductions and pre
liminaries are things of the past. The 1928-29 school
year la well on its way. A long stretch lies ahead.
Those who encounter the most difficulties are the
freshmen.
University life la new to them. Some find It
hard to fit Into the general plan of It all. The
change between high school and college Is so great
that they feel lost in the milling and hurrying Uni
versity crowd. But they have gone through the
first quarter. By this time they have become a
definite part of the University. No longer are they
mere freshmen. They are Cornhuskers as well!
They have taken their plunge and are submerged
in college life.
They will find that 'in a large measure their
success or failure in the classroom and on the cam
pus will be due to their attitude and their ideas.
They must first assimilate themselves with other
university students and not remain outsiders. They
must establish themselves as individuals and rise
from the masses. They must cultivate friendships
and not shun or snub their classmates. Last, but
far from least, they must learn to study, and then
practice what they have learned. This Is the pri
mary purpose of a university too often minimized by
athletics, activities and social life.
If they do take an Interest in the school as a
whole and develop a loyal Nebraska spirit, they will
enjoy their years in university moro than if they
shut this phase of college life from them. It they
do take part in activities they will make some repu
tation for themselves in the eyes of their fellow
students. If they form many friendships they will
find these will last through the years beyond the
confines of four years in university. And if to all
these things the freshmen add the chief essential
study, they will leave this school four years hence
with a real college educa'ion of value for whatever
pam of life they hoose to tread.
8IN IN TRIVIALITY,
Absorption in triviality is the outstanding sin of
college undergraduates, according to a recent article
in "Nation" which defends the moral standards of
collegians, but slashing!? criticizes the lack of seri
ous student thought.
"Practically every college in America has its
undergraduates overorganized in a hundred varieties
of 'student activity' which assume a higher place In
the estimation of the students than class-room dis
tinction," declares the "Nation." It continues, "In
most colleges thought outside the classroom is posi
tively unpopular. Only (he 'radicals' and a few, iso
lated, brilliant students enjoy the give and take of
fundamental conversation."
If this is not sufficient indication of the maga
zine's sweeping indictment of the average life of the
undergraduate, look at the next paragraph which
reads thus:
"Student activity undermines the intellectual
morale of the college by creating an alternative set
of valuta in contrast with academic values. At the
time of graduation it is true that the college senior
begins to realize the sham and insignificance of the
'pep' meetings, the club membership campaign, the
fraternily presidency, and even the varsity letter.
But then It Is too late."
"Nation" concludes that proposed collegiate re
forms may improve undergraduate life, but that they
can hardly destroy the "predominant triviality of
that life so long as the college Is chiefly a passage
waj to the upper economic classes."

A STUDENT LOOKS
AT PUBLIC AFFAIRS
By David Fellman
Tomorrow is the last clay left for
registration. For the convenience
of the voters, the registration of
fice at the City Hall is open In
the evening from seven to nine
o'clock. If you want to vote in this
county you must register. And if
you want to exercise one of the
greatest privileges of democracy
you should vole.
Thomas Alva Edison, electrical
wizard and scientific genius, was
presented, on October 20, in his
West Orange laboratory, with a
specially authorized congressional
medal of honor. It was forty-nine
years ago that this man made a
piece of mii"ral wool glow with
electric current, laboring in a dingy
little workshlp. Now he is the re
cipient of the highest honor that
his country can pay him.
President Coolidge's tribute was
fitting: "Noble, kindly servant of
the United States and benefactor
of mankind, may you long be
spared to continue your work and
to inspire those whowill carry for
ward your torch."
Nebraska's senior senator,
Oeorge V. Norris, threw a bomb
shell into the republican camp last
Wednesday by declaring openly
that he will support the candidacy
of Al Smith. Not even this spec
tacular stand, however, should Bur-
prise anyone. This campaign is
full of surprises.
Most of the dads who were here for Dad's Pay

Since Homecoming decorations must be up by
Friday evening, attendance at the shows this after
noon will show a decrease.
After walking into one of the "eating places" on
a week-end, one student says that he is giving up
smoking because it is too effeminate.

Regent of her Empire, the follow

j pia, Conquering Lion of Judah and
I the Elect of God." This is quite an
ambitious bit of nomenclature.

'IN MY OPINION
Our Brilliant Laws
Again the Laws have distinguished themselves.
They not only had their much heralded rooting sec
tion at the Montana game, but they were well adver
tised by two members who were so drunk they
seemed to think they were Greek orators at a fes
tival. As long as the College of Law has as effective
a representation as the one last Saturday, tbey need
never fear the shame of obscurity. A drunk man
always attracts attention and comment of one kind
or another.
It Is naturally Inspiring to everyone to have
two "souse'd" Laws urge the team on to victory by
calling the players, indivldaully.and collectively, all
the names that their stimulated minds can think of.
The Laws are to be congratulated on their mar
velous foresight In bringing such good old Nebraska
spirits along. They will certainly furnish a topic
for conversation, here and there, for several days
to come.
The members of the College of Law very seldom
appear in public in a group. Their rooting section
Is not a bad idea, but a few "drunks" more or less
aren't going to add much to their reputation on
the campus.

A fresh outburst on the football program con
cession left on the editor's desk Thursday morning
is published in tha column, "In My Oplnlou" today.
Agreeing whole-heartedly with II. T. ihat the sales
should be. returned to the Corn Cobs. The Daily Ne
braskan, In fairness to the athletic administration,
calls attention to a few errors in fact in D. T.'s
opinion.
No reorganization of the Cobs was ever de
manded. The reorganization was suggested by Dean
T. J. Thompson and a plan prepared by officers of
the Student Council. The three individuals memioned
by D. T. bad indicated dirapproval of the non-representative
character of the clu. They had Indicated
that that was one of their chief objections to the
Corn Cob sales. The Daily Nebraskan is in accord
with D. T. In the belief that once these changes had
been made, there was a substantial reason for the
return of the concession, particularly since it was
removed without giving the Cobs a chance to remove
objections.
& T. is also wrong in his assertion that the
board gave the Cobs information that such a change
la personnel and spirit would probably merit the re
turn of program sales. The board took no official
action on the matter. Individual members of the
board did Indicate that they saw no chance for the
return of the programs without some such reorgan
ization. It was a negative, rather than an affirma
tive, statement.
The fact remains that Corn Cobs is functioning
effectively alo,ng every possible line, and that, due
to the removal of the program concession, they have
source of revenue for use in traditional artivitiaa

The long expected return of Herbert Glsh from
t'.ie past ha materialized, b it the Quiet and serenity
of the campus has not been broken. Corn Cobs are
still sans program sales and notices in The Daily
Nebraskan concerning meetings of W. A. A. sales
woman stlil flourish.
Is Mr. Glsh right in denying the sale of programs
to the members of Pi Epsilon Pi, more commonly
called Corn Cobs? Have not the Cobs followed the
mandates of the athletic board concerning the re
organization demanded by Mr. Glsh, Dean T. J.
Thompson, John K. Selleck and others?
Giving the Corn Cobs to understand' that no
chance remained for them to exist unless they did
reorganize, the board also gave the Cobs the infor
mation that such a change In personnel and spirit
would probably merit the return of program sales.
Acting on the advice of the board, Corn Cobs
organization was quick to heed the criticisms and
warninas. Calling several meetings in succession,
the Cobs adopted the reorganization' plans and also I
voted to become more active on the campus. Con
sequently, eight non-fraternity men have ben ad
mitted to membership in Pi Epsllon Pi and old
members have successfully aided the Innocents so
ciety in the preparation and the running off of Dad's
Day festivities.
Herbert Gish is not right in denying t the
members of Pi Epsllon Pi. a fraternity founded to
plan organized school spirit, the program sales
franchise when the Corn Cobs have complied with
his every gesture for reorganization nd change of
policy. ' D. T.
