DUSTING AROUND
Keeping I he house clean generally requires
soinponp lo stay lionif and do the dusting. Likewise,
i he system of sabbatical leaves for university pro
fessors, vhich The Daily Nebraskan recommended
Tuesday, would produce a problem of who would
do the teaching, the necessary dusting off of uni
versity students' minds.
Handling the classes of Instructors absent for
a year would not be as difficult as might be as
sumed at first. Sabbatical leaveB could be handled,
it' necessary, with practically no additional expense.
Professors could be given half salary for the year
of their leave. With the remaining half, younger
instructors could be brought In to handle their class
work. This would mean a lowering of the class
.standard for the year In vhirh the new Instructor
was present, but. it would be more than compensated
for by the greater values the regular Instructor
could introduce to his classes during the succeeding
seven years.
If finances would permit, an additional step
could be made. Professors ou leave could be paid
a greater portion of their salary or even full salary.
Likewise, higher caliber substitutes could be pro
cured. The advantage to the training of better citi
zens in the state, better future leaders of the state's
citizenry would more than compensate the state for
the additional cost here Buggested.
FOIL THE ROBBERS!
Jewelry and iash totaling more than $250 was
taken Trom the Alpha Theta Chi, Theta Chi and
Alpha bigma Phi houses early Wednesday night,
commencing again the long string of fraternity and
sorority house robberies that have pestered tho uni
versity campus during reecnt years.
Lincoln police believe that the burglarizing la
done by a group of professional robbers who travel
constantly from town to town, raiding houses on
various universiy campuses. Oklahoma fraternities
were raided last week.
That this group h still in Lincoln is very prob
able, so car should be taken especially within the
np.vt few days.
Protection against this type of robbery is par
ticularly difficult. Kipiipping each man In the chap
ter with a key, and putting strong locks on doors
iiul windows would help considerably in keeping
burglars away. If the members could be depended
upon 10 keep the door locked at night.
Captain Walter Anderson, head of detectives in
Lincoln, believes that locking second-floor dressing
ooms would be a preventative of robbery. He sug
;esi also that a small safe in which all valuables
liiiyli' be put would help a great deal.
Taking into the house st ranee men, who claim
to be college men, is always dangerous, the police
say. Often, tliey are adame men sent out by

held iu mind by all.
BETWEEN TIMES
Making hay while the sun shines has a multi
plicity of applications. It can be conjured to express
a thousand and one ideas, literally. Hut 'lie truth
depends not on the number of applications, but
lather on the practicability of the proverb.
Quarterly examinations have been listed among
the experiences of the students, and examination
papers have been added to the slack which ulti
mately finds Itself ablaze. Mid semesters are In the
offing. Now this is noihlng new, nor Is there a new
and unique angle to be I,, "light out Into the open.
The fact Is, right now Is about the half-way mark
between quarterlies. It is haying time.
.Sleepless nights before a mid semester examina
tion ar taken for granted, and probably always will
be taken so. High pressure study before going Into
a class room Is in vogue.
Here's the iruth of the making hay while th
sun shines allusion, and it's a truth that is neither
new nor farfetched. Study now nets more and
better results than study two weeks from today.
Students can v.e sharpen Iheir scythes ami start

THE CORNHUSKER SPECIAL
A special ttaln loaded with cheering Cornhusivers
will pull out c' Lincoln eurly Saturday morning for
the Kansas I'r.lveiblty fool bull game. It Is safe to
assume that the spirit and conduct of these Ne
braska students will be, as over, above reproach and
objection on the way lo Lawrence, at the game, and
on the way home.' Hut a crowd U inflammable and
no matter how good the intentions of every student
may be, a careless spark can start a dangerous fire,
it is against this that students may well guard.
Fvery Individual who displays the Scarlet ami
the Cream at that Kansas game, or any time going
or coming, should realize that he Is an unofficial
ambassador from this university an that his attitude
will be judged as representative of Nebraska. Occa
sional criticism Is heard concerning the conduct of
Btudents from other schools who come here when
the varsity plays their team. This will not be the
comment around Lawrence if eacli Cornhusker bears
In mind that he holds the honor of the school In his
hands.
Nebraska ideals of sportsmanship and courtesy
hold a high place. A ioyal student body is, funda
mentally, anxious to maintain those Ideals.

Rural Economics Class Visits
Omaha To Learn Conditions

The class iu marketing under
Prof. TL C. Filley of the rural eco

annual trip to Omaha Friday, Nov.

soven budding market experts, who
will make the trip to Btudy market
ing first hand, and to intensify
their Interest in the subject.
The group plans to visit the
grain exchange and the livestock
exchange, to study the marketing
of these commodities. The specu

will be studied with keen interest,
especially speculative market in
foodstuffs.
The grading and classification of

Quarterly reports are out. A goodly number
of recipients of notices may well attribute their
failure to extracurricular activities. Are those activi
ties an asset or a liability?
First of all it must be borne in mind that every
one in tho l uiversity should be hero for an educa
tion, and after thst, the rest. There are persons
who have the capacity and ability to enter enthusi
astically into activities and at the same time to
derive maximum benefit from their regular curricula!-
pursuits. These folk are lucky, because obvi
ously these extra activities are an asset to them,
since they realize some benefit in these fields with
out harming themselves in another more Important.
There are persons who, upon entering activities,
because of their added interests suffer a slight de
crease in the benefits obtainable from regulaF school
work. It remains a question in this case whether
or not the activity is an asset of a liability because
It is hard to judge whether the added benefit offsets
the loss of the curricula!- benefit.
There is a third clas of persons who, upon their
entrance into activities, suffer a great loss because
they realize only a minimum benefit from their
school work. To these persons extra currlcular
activities are a heavy liability due to the fact that
Speaking of getting behind on
current literature, we might add
that O'Brien's 1927 Year I3ook of
best short stories has Just fallen

ies there, of which we think "North

"Right Honorable the Strawber

the Prairie Schooner are mentioned
in the back of the book, inciden
tally. O'Brien's 1928 collection will
be off the press November 9, and
the Prairie Schooner will have a
high rating in it.
And while we are speaking of
school publications, let us add that
"Frontier" has been called to our
attention. Frontier is the literary
publication of the Pnlverslty of
Montana. It is a bit like their foot
ball team, with a good end and the

Mr. Gilbert pointed out that the
will of the people is not always
carried out now. The business in
terests have too much control for
real government by the people.
The socialists believe that all great
foreign or national questions as
declaring war, should be put to
public vote and the people's de
cision followed.
"No country can end war by
preparing for war," Mr. Gilbert
said. "Germany was prepared for
war in 1914, but because of this
fact It got into war.

of all possessions and tbey should

Columbia has announced an educational policy
that T.'topians had long been advocating, but which
sounded too baldly devastating for modern univer

To some simple souls the distinction may not be

on the fundamental division of "Collego Students"
Into those who Htudy for the sake of Btudy, those
who study that they !.iay get Hlong 111 the world,
