The average col legian Is itt full acconl with this favorite dictum, especially as it has to do -with his own interests, milking etudonts realize that the fame proverb :aa apply to the professor as well as to the student. Ia a world that is all Dew, students readily find relief from monotony. Curricular . interests alone furnish no inconsiderable array of variety. And itia-curricular activities, aocial life, athletics, and !he fellowship of youth with youth supply media for development of the flowing soul of collegians. Oo tha professor, howeyer, falls the burden of repetition, tho task of interpretation, the toil of discipline the mangled houra of struggle striving to make tho etudents hours worthwhile. The inspira tional teacher makes something of a Joy of the task. But even o. without play of eomo sort, the work 1o8js its charm. The Instructor, likewise, loses the sparkle that distinguishes the teacher from the disciplinarian, the stimulator from the routinist. The University of Nebraska, as an institution, sas failed to make adequate provision for the play of its instructional force. There is no systematic opportunity for the school's teaching force to get away from its regular routine, to get away to ex plore new fields, to broaden their vision, to re ii waken their interests and their sympathies. A system of sabbatical leaves (leaves of ab sence every seven years on full or partial pay) such us is customary in many universities, would fill a valuable place in the life of the University. It would he valuable not alone to the professor, who profits i.y Hie opportunity for travel and further study, or ihe chance to develop iu writing, material which he h.is gathered in the class room or in the laboratory, li would also be profitable to his colleagues, who i-arn in the new points of view obtained, and iu i i:e Emulative interest in the work of other in finitums. More important yet, it would be of significant i a I lie lo the institution's student body. Tho pro re.snor, given an opportunity to get away every seven i iirs lo make contacts anew, could bring so much more of vitality, bo much more of enthusiasm, so much more of significant information to tho class room, as to be beyond the realization of those who have not seen such effects. Hystomatlc adoption of sabbatical leaves would open the way to a perennial freshening of the streams of education for the state's youth, THE MORNING AFTER "Your efficiency, your competency, your health, and your future can be wrecked without the proper amount of Bleep." So said the president of Cornell university at that institution's first convocation pro gram this fall. The deviation from the customary theme of convocation addresses, and the sagacity of that brief remark warrant something more than a passing glance. Actual university life tends to the spasmodic Or probably more correctly the responses of the student to university work tend to be spasmodic. Assignments, class recitations, quiz sections, exam ations, are encountered as per schedule. The stu dent almost knows what to expect from day to day, and uncertainty and vagueness about an assignment la generally inexcusable as far as administration goes. It is not in the actual university educational sys tem then, that the fault lies. Outside influences, attention to duties which are absolutely beyond the realm of university lire, Bocial obligations, employ ment of spare time these are the things which the Cornell president had in mind as the disrupting forces in smooth-running college life. He was In directly looking behind the scenes for the causes of lost sleep. That which is treasured most highly often times is that which can be lost, most easily. Good health is otic thing that is not blatantly enjoyed. Its pres ence is unnoticed and unappreciated in the daily routine of life.

The thought that such a tremen dous mass of voters will go to the polls is very stimulating, both to the Intellect and the imagination. It shows that the Issues of this campaign have, just about struck the rock bottom of the public feel ing.

These inspiring and perhaps rebuking words of Phillips Brook call to my mind a pitiful and too frequent ca6e ever present on the college campus. It is not the earnestly striving freshman, usually th target for stinging darts of reform and criticism at this season of tho collegiate year, but instead his tormentor, the lordly upperclassman. Is It not ap palling that many fall into exactly the narrow minded conceiteduess so much deplored by Phillips Brooks? After a yeur of treatment as the "under-dog," "scum", "worm", "squab", or any of the favorite campus cpitaths (the treatment for one is usually about as crushing and ruthless as that for another) the upperclassman is abruptly exalted to that de lightful position of example for the poor unenlight ened freshman. The royal attention devoted to this demigod, the upperclassman, is most gratifying to his self respect.

The thrillers of the game were Sloan's ninety yard return for a touchdown of a kickoff, and a seventy-six yard run by Cooper, of Kansas, w ho re ceived a pass from Lawrence and turned It Into a touchdown. Pres nell and Howell starred for the Scarlet. It is entirely probable that the Jayhawks are beginning to think that they should have a voice In tho matter of determining Ne braska's "increasing superiority." They will try to assert themselves Saturday, but If they do. the Corn huskers will be prepared. MIZZOlTviCTORY GIVES HUSKERS BOOST UPWARDS ( ontlnilml From I'aifP I. return the engagement.

Playing on their home field will h :i hi it nl,l to the Oklahoma team. And climatic conditions a I Norman will differ quite a bit from what the Huskers have been used to at Lincoln. With these two confer ence games on the record, Ne braska comes back home to pre nure for the Pitt Panther eleven, conquerors of the Cornliuskers last year.

Last night Coach Hearg held his usual after game conference and sent his charges through a light drill as the week of preparation opened for the Kansas game this Saturday. Coach Hearg realized one ambition last week but has not stopped with that and is bent on continuing his winning streak with the 1928 Cornhusker football team. Kansas. Coach Hearg knows, will be hard to beat, as well as Okla homa, Pitt, Army and Kansas Ag gies. Overconfidence is the last thing in the camp of the mighty Cornhuskers at this time.

Great significance is at tached to this transaction. One economic newspaper hails it as a breach in the "Economic Wall," which, it alleges, was maintained since the inception of the soviet state. The official Russian news paper, The Pvavade, thinks that this is the entering wedge in the movement for the official recogni tion of the Soviet government by the United States.

A little diplomatic "hand shaking" or "soft-soaping" on the part of certain clever freshmen rather increases his self-esteem. The freshmen may even resort to the use of a little flattery and that efficient form of subtle flattery, asking the upperclassman for advice. Finally we have a divine gift to the campus parading about before his supposedly worshipful audience. Is it not sad that his growth has been stopped between those walls of self satisfaction and conceit, with utter contempt for most mere humans? Is It not a pity that he cannot fee what a goose he has made of himself unconsciously entertaining tho campus as a caricature of what he imagines himself and a SRd burlesque of what he might have been?

The University Players' version of the piny "Caponsacehl" will be remembered as one of the out standing dramatic successes of last spring, with Its nine day run in Lincoln at the Temple theater, and Its engagoment in Omaha. An Idea of the quality In the work pre sented by the Players can be had from the statement from Hart Jenks when he said, that in some respects, the Lincoln production was superior to that enacted in New York City.

The 25th and South street cars snd the College View cars could be run about, seven and one-half minutes ahead of their present sched ule, leaving the Normal and Sumner cars lo their present srhedules. Cars would then be run every seven or eight minutes between 17th and A streets and their frequenry farther ifouth would not be al tered. This would require the addition of no further curs and would double the service. An improvement in service will draw more pat rons. The change would be beneficial to the people living on this line as well as to the Traction company. p.

By the time they arrive in the Middle West, they are well known where they started. What is true of music is also true of plays.
