Blake We hear so much about Hie Im becility of the Ureal American Pub lic. One reads the observations of bouic unknown Kngllnh or French or German traveler in the United States who states emphatically that Americans are so busy pursuing the filthy lucre that they have let their minds go to dry rot. So the money chasing Americans snap up i he statement with loud cries and ' hoist the unknown knocker lip onto ! their shoulders and proclaim his I name In the streets. Generally the lecturer or writer of these things l is eitremvly busy trying to fill his i pockets with American money, also, and uses this method to get !lt. One of the most frequent accusa tions of these eminent bunkers Is that we have no time for good lit erature, either to read or write it. We wore rather Interested by that, and wondered what Americans did read. Books? Yes. Magazines? As suredly. What 1dnd of magazines? What Is In them?

(Covered Friday night, the Institution can again expect to see an exodus of sophomores from tho vicinity. Saturday, the campus can expect to see a handful of sophomores lose to a mildly sizeable smattering of freshmen. Until then the University can expect the committee in charge to do Its best to stimulate interest In the Olympics. And despite the most worth-while efforts of the committee, the campus can expect the Olympics to be the usual farce that they have been for several years. "Do something about it," cry the scattered few who believe there is a place for the Olympics. Re calling the efforts of King Canute to turn the waves back, The Daily Nebraskan only wishes to remind these friends of the Olymplo tradition that it is not only cognizant of the failure of the ancient king, but that this paper has no desire to emulate him, as far as asking, the waves to roll back Is concerned.

One concerned the er love life of a perpetually drunken musical comedy producer. Another wa-s a stormy love affair of a thus. There was one about the amazing progress of a college student In which classes were not mentioned but a dubious social whirl was em phasized. A fourth concerned the inane existence of a Hollywood actress. The other two were mys tery stories, one with a dull orien tal background and the last, with a dull English background body found after ten years, Oxford ac cent, astounding sleuthing, don't you know. There were three srials. One re lated the business like doings of a gay nineties captain of finance. 1 Another was rather adventurous, with Indians and trappers and ba teaus and all that. The laM. was the , conclusion of a wild story of a wild ' girl. These stories were set off by six j articles. The first concerned Mr. Mussolini, by himself. (Or course). The second told about race horses and paddocks and smelled of the track and stables. The third was nn essay on crooks, hijackers, gang men, and their lovely lives. Another was the autobiography of a Jewish comedian. Tho fifth seemed to be reminiscences' of Civil War days, and the lust wis a discussion of labor problems. A few editorials and Jokes were Bprinkled Into the magazine for seasoning. A picture on the cover suggested Hallowe'en. Now there are those from Ku rope who rant, that would condemn this magazine without hesitation to the ashcan, after holding It up as a horrible example of what-the American Public stuffs into its mind. But let us make this com parison. The stories may be Improb able, and many of them not the right tone. Some of them may be extremely boring. But foreign mag azines can boast no more. And these stories are written in good English and in American style, if we may use the term. They typify our race and our pursuits. They are what we demand. We do not at tempt to develop a philosophy from them, nor ponder over them, 'fie do not have to decipher them. They tell us things about ourselves, I . - - .1 .

TWELVE MEN ENROLL IN TESTERS' COURSE Two Week Period Fits Men For Cow Examination In Dairy Group The opening day of flie cow testers' short coursa at the Col lege of Agriculture found twelve young men on deck prepared to fit themselves for future work with testing associations. The group is In charge of M. L. Flack of the dairy department assisted by Jay T. Tlerson. The course of at",dy will cover feeding, Babcock testing, dairy Judging, separators, and cow test ing association methods. The In struction will consist of lectures, laboratories, and observation or Improved methods. Upon completion of tho two weeks course and passing of exam inations the students wll be avail able for official testing work for the various associations. There are twenty-three cow testing associa tions in the state and as vacancies occur they will be filled by the men who have completed the course and are liiglblf mr 0,i testing work. The formation ol iio". associations alno offers opportunity for trained testers. i OKLAHOMA NEXT!

As an afterthought, we nhould mention that, this is not a defense and a praise of all American mag azines. Half the magazines on the stands are not worth the trouble to set fire to. They cater to the type who want them, however, and they serv a purpose. So does a burglar and a garbage-man. And on the other hand, there are maga zines just tho opposite.

"Tho tragedy of modern colleges is that brll I liant students develop into first class loafers," said I one of this university's history teachers recently. ! Because university work is scheduled to the level of the average student, lie feels that the brilliant one simply loafs on the Job. Is that a (air judgment of university students? it a titudeut can cover the same amount of work ! as another. In less time, that does not necessarily ! mean that he becomes a loafer. A particularly brll : liaut student may loaf In a certain course or even ! in two or three, and still know as much about tho j subjects as the so-called average student. Let him find a course or a field In which he Is greatly In terested and he is apt to devote all of his efforts toward it. while he loafs along in a few other courses , that do not attract him. j T i. i .. . . l ; i .. -M .. i. i ......ii.. i mate contacts of all Btudents with each other which ' ' ' . . ,.,, . . .,,,, .v. oiir-iino tne ,yi,e tnat als0 applies himself and puts In Quite made hazing a possibility.

A UNIVERSITY UNION Two years ago, in the spring of 1926, The Daily Nebraskan advocated the erection of a build ing to be known as the University Union, where students would be able to gather when not In the classroom. The gist of the arguments then used is as follows: As conditions now exist on the Nebraska cam pus, there Is no place except the library' where students may congregate when not attending classes, and the library Is meant for study, not social contacts. The women atr. 'ents have Ellen Smith hall, and some girls to take advantage of this opportunity of meeting and talking with other girls of the school. The only place the men have In which to meet is the Y. M. C. A. rooms in the Temple. These rooms, however, are altogether too barren, with too much of the study atmosphere, to make successful social rooms. Conditions on the campus are much the same as they were -when the Union building was sug gested. Yet for two years nothing more has been said concerning a Union building for the University of Nebraska, Interest In having a common meeting place, where students may spend between class time, has apparently collapsed. OTHER EDITORS SAY- INVESTIGATING THE FACULTY Faculty members have regularly exercised their prerogative of reporting poor students in the col leges and universities of the country. Announcement now comes from the University of Michigan that the students will be given a chance to apply some tests to instructors and to supply the administration with reports of the investigation. President Little of the University of Michigan, according to a news story in the Michigan Dally, student newspaper, will give his unqualified co operation to the Michigan student council in Its plan to conduct an Investigation of the younger mem bers of the Michigan faculty. Faculty members up to the rank of assistant professor will be included in the survey In which student Investigators will be nominated secretly by the student council to fill out questionnaires con cerning member of the Instructional force. The questionnaire to be used will be drawn up by mem bers of the council In co-operation with President Little. "This plan," says the Michigan Daily, "originated from a need on the part of the administration to a-t on reports more definite than rumor and hearsay In promoting younger men on the faculty to profes sorships. At present there exiats no adequate means of discovering the various capabilities and defects of the newer men and their eligibility for promo tion," ' Tha problem ef young inatructors, new mem bers of the faculty, in relation to their work and to nromntlnn. la nn nf the new and difficult adminis trative problems developed because of the great size THIS FREEDOM j We are tired of hearing the constant cry of j our present college generation for a liberal medium j of expression. We are tired of hearing Its chronic complaints against personal restrictions. We are j tired of hearing its infantile whines for freedom! from traditions and conventions. We hear these complaints in our schools, in our i churches, in our editorial columns. They are wide spread, they are popular, they have become. Iron ically enough, almost traditional. They are not criticisms: they are whimpers. We cannot understand them. Are thry defense mechanisms? Does a deficiency or failure find solace in bliuiihiK its inifa'. orable situation? Is It soothed by admitting il.nl imi ironmental conditions were Insurmountable? Doi's a specific shortcoming con sole itself by a belief t hat no progress of any kind can bo made in a "world like this?" We must con fess we do not know. But we do maintain that any person who is worth his salt, can surmount his environmental ob stacles. We do maintain that anybody who has any thing valuable to say can get a hearing. We do maintain that anybody who wants to do anything can do it if he does not violate the fundamental laws of life and property. He may be criticized to be sure, but he certainly should not expect to find unanimous accord with his views. If Instead of complaining idly he would do what he feels is right, and be willing to face inevitable opposition, then he would be leaving the ranks of childhood. We are not attacking criticism. Constructive criticism is the necesBary catalyst for progress. But we cannot help comparing a healthy battle-cry for social, educational, and political advance to a pas sive snarl against the sorry plight of things as they are. Minnesota Daily The 0).I?

This opinion was advanced recently by Profes sor Macy, head of the modern language department i at Tulsa University. Teaching modern languages Is his business, and he pr bably knows, but we are not inclined to agree -ith him entirely. Certain the utility of modern languages as they are now spoken is of importance to those studying the course. That side of teaching a foreign language should not be neglected. Yet there is another side to con sider. Utility or an education is not the only thing of Importance. If one can learn to read the literary gems of another nation from his university training thru he Is better able to enjoy life. Surely that side is worth consideration.
