CELEBRATION OR THOUGHT
Armistice V&y the autumn tt-asuc's fourth of
July. What meaning can a college student attach
to It.? It means a partial holiday no studies. It
means bl? parad and th donning of It. O. T. ".
uniforms. The arniietlee dance gets i's crowd. And
it is the birthday of the end of the World War.
Then doesn't it mean the process leading to th
end of sixty-five percent of the cation's goveinmer
Tal expendl'urrs? Doesn't it challenge "very univer
sity stu'ent to attempt a Folutiou of civilization's
frea'jjt problem that of maintaining a sane rela
tionship among men. Isn't it a prompting of a s; i
dent mind to test his attitudes? I'o they lead 'o fair
agreement or to misunderstanding and conflict? If
not, why the celebration?
EVOLUTION, TRUTH AND VALUES
Arkansas joined the ranks of the stales pro
hibiting the teaching of evolution as a rc-Bult of last
Tuesday's election. Already efforts are being mad-?
to secure a teacher to violate the law that a test case
may be bad to carry to the United States supreme
court.
Students of the University of Nebraska may be
frlad that they live in a state where such limitation.'
are not placed on learning. That efforts will be
made to secure the enactment of Fimllar laws in this
and other states seem certain. Foolish as such laws
seem to the educated person, they are taken most
seriously by their adherents. The battle fought in
the days of Huxley and Darwin In England for the
right to search for truth is apparently going to have
to be fought over during the next decade in this
country.
Unfortunate as the situation of Tennessee and
Arkansas 1. limiting as it does instruction in bio
logical development, much of the blame for the pro
hibitory statutes must le IhM " the door of the
modern scientist.
The scientist bis been moi- oncemed with
truth than with i's application, 'lb suenii-r has.
to date, been more concerned with .ii'iing the facts
than with using Them to the best adantaef of man
kind The scientist has been more conrerned with
impressing upon the public the new knowledge he
has discovered than he has be n with Peking
methods of. putting that knowledge to the best u.--uf
civilization.
This is admittedly a very rou?h generalization,
silence has made many applications of its findings.
But analysis of its work dcx-a reveal the en.pha.--is
upon finding rather than upon valu'-s. Science could
profitably devote some of its efforts in the next Jew
years in the attempt to insure the application of
scientific knowledge to the larger interests of man
kind, as part of a program to prevent further int.-i-ference
with Instruction in scientific fact and theory.

"DON'T SEND MY BOY TO "
SMITH: I have sent my boy to a small, exclusive
college. There he will receive individual at
tontlon in his scholastic work, and in nib out
side activities as well.
Mil. JONES: I have sent my son to a state university.
There be will be fitted for life.
MR. SMITH: Then you think that there is souiPtljiii
beside a well-rounded education that coim-a
ltrst in the fitting of a boy for life?
MR. JONES: I do. I see a university as a hainple
universe. Therein the youth of our nation
lakes part in a drev.s rehearsal for the play
called "life."
MR. SMITH: Iiut his apsorjaies are not always tiie
beht. He may rub elbows with men llow hie
level.
MR. JONBS: When your sou gTalautes from In
small, exclusive colb-ge he finds himself in a
large, uneicluive world. The aspect will
frighten him.
MR. SMITH: He will be well educated
H R. JONES: My son also will be well-educated. Hut
not alone in the arts and sciences. He will be
educated In the ays of his fellow men. Jlis
range of acquaintances will be wide. He will
be a graduate, not only of a college, but of a
preparatory course in life. Life as it is lived
not as it should be lived.
THE PHILOSOPHERS' TURN
As the modern university studciu crones a
crowded street where racing automobi's endanger
bis We and keep his nervoun system on a constant
strain he is forced to question the idea of progress
His mind may go back In an attempt to imagine the
situation of his parents no autos, no electric; lights,
aeroplanes yet a dream, telephones a rarelty and
radios undreamed. With ihls picture comes the de
tire to look foreward to the xituatlon a generation
hence. What then? Will these students of the nexi
generation fly from Lincoln lo Oklahoma for the
week-end football game? Will the "campus cake"
at that time see the face of his girl on a plate on his
telephone as he calls for a date? Well, It doesn't
seem likely and he asks himself the quest!" n why.
In the last two generations the great nun have
been the Inventors and the organization experts.
They have given the world machines and organized
great economic systems for their production. Men
took the automobile, the aeroplane, the telephone,
the radio and began to communicate and (liculine
t a rate of speed never before known. He wanted
lo 0 so be built bis machines, a ad now when; to
go? The Inventor does not have an answer. The
organizer finds that out of his field. Who has
answered or tried lo answer this question? Only
the philosopher. Now it it hi.s turn. Now may h
have the claim to leadership, to organize a new :
world civilization.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE RADIO
Universities are q.iite generally coming to accepj
the radio rs a means of expending educational op
feminities to non resident students. Radio lecture
are being ust-d in connection with the extension de
partment of this ins i it a 'ion.
In commenting upon the iniluence of the radio,
one professor recently told his class that he doubted
whetner its ultimate (Cecl would prove to be a good
one. Nothing of vaije. he said, comes without the
hardest kind of work. Radio programs offer the fin
est in music and educational courses in such a wide
variety of subeel.-, that a superiieial education is
trade too easily available. .V a rt-Milt. the professor
predicts a debllit.i'in-' e;'fett .,n progress in mental
t-.nd cultural field in the absence of the stimulation
produced by a greater effort.
Al'hough the mture alone will tst the efficacy
of the raJIo as an instrument of education there is
an aMind.t:je of evidence tat it wi'I greatly pro
mote the advancement of civilization. It is true that
people now receive valuable information daily, with
out the Mihtest e' ;'(:. So pair.le.-s is this new
method 'ha" i' i- er.'irely possible for one to absorb
a fairly general fund oi kr.o.vledre without being at
all conscious of the ii -. Instead of dulling ant-'
bition the.-e information are m kIi more
likely to arouse a curiosity about related topics. By
this simpl'fled rrocecs a large r.utr.ber of people ore
ir.teres"ei In subjec'-i which formerly a'tracted only
the few who hal the orporur.i'y and inclination to
study them ir.,r..lv!.
If it is true thai one may attain a certain degree
of culture with a mir.innim of effort and initiative,1
then it is also true 'hat in order to exert power and
influence one niut ro beyond the ordir.arj achieve
ment. The geniu-e or" th- world w ill never lack an '
incentive to worn merely be.-a :se it is ea.iy for them
'o acquire a lou.vda'icn upon wairn to build. The
unlimited resources which lie stili beyond them are a
suff icier.' challenge -o them. The ordinary man nay

when you read poetry, we don't

A reader for an English compo
sition class was deploring the poor,
feeble writing he came in contact
with, the other day. "They are
university sophomores," he said
"yet they write Etuff that would
justifiably flunk a high school soph
omore, and get away with It." Oi:
beius encouraged to speak further,
he declared that "some of thera are
taking engineering and others sci
ence, but that fact shouldn't eicuse 1
'em. Anyone, whether studying I
fine arts or hog calling ought to do '
better than this," and he produced 1
a specimen for criticism. It was
indeed a bit raw. "But that isn't .
representa'ive." we protested.
"Sure It is." he retorted. " get that
all the time but the department ,
seems to think that we can't expect j
better and as we can't flunk every-1
one, we must let this stuff slip
through." And a few days ago an
economics professor made a com
ment on the side to the effect that ,
after a student graduates, perhaps ;
he will begin to read books. H
seems to us that those two reflect- i
tious should be hooked up. A dis
criminate choice in reading ma
terial must be conducive to better
writing.

AKMISTia: DAY
By Catherine Elizabeth Hanson
The -a hole world is a sepulrher.
We vee, yes, w-ep iu ain
for th'ise we've loved, who died lor us.
And never come again
Kor s:ne are ..ping fiver Thete.
Where sea I let poppies blow ,
And others' bones are bleached and dry
T'.y wind and Ice and snow.
No UiOnumen'H are made ti( mark
The spot where j-ail'HF sleep
I "or i hem by far a greater tomb
That's lodged viihin the ie p.
And those v, ho winged uncharted ways,
And fell, as does a siar,
We can't lorget 'heir glui iijiis death,
Iiut !d knows where they are.
A i bought for those v ho gave their life
Where shilling sands pile high . . ,
These, are these forgotten mn,
And did tln-y fear to die?
Ah, ruaik you well, these men were brave-
I'nseifi.cti fMng ib'ira.
They live within the bear's of inerj.
And women ea e them prayers,
'the moruiiM nts we build for them
Are not ol btiine or claj,
Hut little hhrines within the heart
At which v,e l.ii.el and pray,
oil. give us men. like these, brave men,
And let all bloo'l shed cease.
Ami give us. Lord, a quietude
From grief, and give us peace.
For should we break the sacred trust
They scaled with hearts blood, red,
They shall licit sleep, but rise again,
And march, A LIVING DEAD!
