Sandahl Joe Hunt William McCleery Robert Lalng Eugene Robb MILTON McGREW BUSINESS MANAGER ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGERS William Kearna Marshall Pltier Richard Rlckette TELLING TALES What did I tell you?-' "1 told you so." Probably two of the most objectionable remarks man can make to his fellows, the above stand after a few days reflection as the only suitable comments of The Daily Nebraskan on that annual farce oi campus frivolity, the Olympics. Tradition ruled again! Sophomores hunted hid ing places Friday evening. Scattered bands of freshmen hunted sophomores. A few sophomores (not more than ten) appeared for the clas scrap Saturday. A slightly larger number of freshmen were on hand for the scrap. And with mock sol emnity, events -were contested and points were awarded. Question has arisen as to whether the points for the pole rush should have been awarded to the freshmen or not counted as was done. It really makes little difference. Most of the members of the contesting classes don't know yet what happened. And few freshmen are wearing their green caps despite their defeat by len sophomores. Now is the time to take another step in the ma turing of the University. If abolition of the Olym pics is delayed until next fall, it will be postponed apain as it was this year. If abolished now, a fresh man spirit can be built next year, working toward giving them a rational place in a modern educational institution. Hazing has gone the way of the tandem bicycle and the horse and buggy. The Olympics could with little difficulty be relegated to the same pile of useless activities to which the lower cltiss societies were last year dismissed. SCORCHED FOOTBALL That football Is not a health building exercise but rather a "substitute for war," was the Joint opinion expressed by two of the country's leading educators ai the recent state teachers' convention lu Omaha. Continuing, they declared that college nu n "ouwht to be devoting their time to searching for their lite work, instead of kicking their brains out on a foot ball field." That prominent educators should take this stand regarding this particular college sport U not. nir prlsing. They are merely expressing the views of hundreds of other men in similar positions. They have as their lifework the task, of educating young people and as a result are prone to place, scholarship above everything else. The criticism that, football is not a health build ing exercise is open for debate. It ia a well-known fact that any form of exercise is a body-builder and nines football entails a considerable degree of exer cise h is to be expected that it should aid in the development of the physique. By playing foot hall, the Individual is able to develop and harden his muscles, quicken his nerves, and in general build up his body. The energy is there and must, be expended if not in football, in some other form of sport or exercise. Had the two ediyators considered the game from this angle rather than from the "brutality" point of view they might not have taken the same stand. However, their criticism, overdone as It ?itma at first, has a significant factor. Overem phasis on football may be detrimental to preparation for life work, for fan as well as for player. THE IJAGGER: Mid-semester examinations are deirimental to good health. Too many student? got "C" tick when their papers are returned. An eastern professor says he has an orang-utan which is more Intelligent than a three-year old child. It would bo interesting to be present, when the pro fessor mentions the fact to the child's mother. Many a empties. train ot thought is Just a siring of "College men are growing small and are weaker today than twenty years ago," declares the Univer sity of Wisconsin line coach. Just a casual glance at Nebraska's "Bonecrushers" should convince him that he's wrong. A PePauw professor is said to have spanked a male member of one of his classes. K.vldcntly the professor Is old fashioned enough to believe In cor poral punishment. Now that everyone has survived the War Oance. the pertinent question is: what will the next Var sity Party be? Members of the band have been attending prac tice regularly since the "Send the Dand to West I'olnt" campaign was started. OTHER STUDENTS SAY- MORE COAT RACKS We should have more coat racks in the differ ent class rooms. In Andrews hall I do not believe there are any in the class rooms, and If there are they are few and far between. If a student wears a top coat or an overcoat, as most of us do, he us ually has to leave it. on or else hBng It in (he win dow or on the radiator. Terhaps, on the floor or MUSICAL LINCOLN A' surprisingly large number of people attended the first concert of the Lincoln Symphony orchestra Sunday afternoon. This will be regarded with plcas uit. by those people who insist that art, music and lite ia tu re are gradually permeating the Middle West. Had the concert been held on any other day than Sunday; on a day when there are no amuse nieiits in Lincoln, it tiiighl he contended that the results would have been different. Instead of a full lioii.se there might have been only a meager gioup of highbrows. That, the remainder of the audience would not put the music of the masters before their Interest in the "talkies", their bridge and their golf may be the opinion held by some. We hold that this is not true. The audience which li-tlened to the symphony Sunday afternoon was composed of lovers of good music. College life in books seems to be a hodge-podge of impressions and erroneous ideas, but occasion ally one runs upon a short story which has the flavor of realism. It really should be the other way around, for one usually expects the person who writes treatises on school life to give us a true, un adulterated picture. Hut we rarely find anything like that, remaps we expect too much of the authors, have the opposite of an inferiorliy for it is a mammoth undertaking complex. to make a representative study or j something of note between the cov ers and not "drivll." Eh. well, what does the co-ed want for her money.' A Mae West production? One Knglish professor said, the other day, that if a person wants to write, he should not read too much. lie buries himself in liter ature and can't dig out. or If ho does, conies to the surface with an Inferiority complex. It must be true, for in much of the stuff we read nowadays it is self-evident that the author never reads any thing but newspapers iind alman acs, and the.se authors seem to American colleges from coast to coast. Most of these themes treat sludent life in the East, and as a result, the readers in other sec tions of the country cry out that the book Is untrue or exaggerates. Writers of short stories of the college type make the same nils takes, but at times we find an author who treats of Mid-West prn universities. These always seem more realistic to us, and lead us to reflect that perhaps we have misjudged those who portray east ern college life. Bernard DeVoto is one of those who seems to have grasped the true atmosphere of our universities and he writes about them In a most entertaining man Tl... I mil lur.v ... j i., . un.

That an audience of such size was present is a true indication that, we are not lacking refinement or culture in the middle west. That the audience was perhaps one twentieth the size of an audience In si town of comparable size on the continent is another matter. Americans as a nationality do not have the innate love of great music that Europeans do. Lincoln is to be congratulated for having a sym phony orchestra which played with the feeling and! breadth of understanding as they did, Franz Schu bert's "Unfinished Symphony." Conductor Seidl is lo be congratulated fnr his work with an orchestra which renders with such delicacy of incantation the "Danse Aiabe" from the "Nut-Cracker Suite." Perhaps the flute part in the "Danse Chinoise" was a bit over played but if so the ' intensity of feeling m the trio of the march "Pomp and Circum stance made up for if.

Miss Millay Is the rage in this group, and one morning at chapel, the minister quotes a bit of poetry as his text and enlarges upon it, after which the students discover that he has used Edna's verse for his sermon.

The knowledge gained from a study of things heretofore unknown to the students is of fat greater value to him in later life than Just a grade. The student Is likely to forget, the grade in a certain course within a ear wherean the additional knowl edge, if rightly obtained, will remain with him throughout his career, and will, in all probabilities, be put to profitable and advantageous use. If the student would view the situation In this light, he would no longer have the idea that educa tion is the mere acquisition of grades, but would rather consider It in its true meaning- the sys tematic development and cultivation of the mind.

He will send a team against N'e. braska Saturday that combines speed, aerial attack and football strategy to put games in the win column. The Panther backfield is speed personified but, will prob ably find it very tough going against the Cornhusker forward wall. Scenes in the camp of the mighty Cornhuskers are plainly demonstrative that the team is booked for a tough foe this week end. No letup in activities is on deck for Coach Jleatg and his crew.

It. ii; iin'iui ut.atn ihe Issue arose during a general election w In n attention was diverted to other matters entirely. I ndotibtedly thousands of people voted for the amendment under a misappre hension "of the facts. The results are not for the best Interests ot the tmi r.-ily or for Ihe two Instl tut ions. The board of regents has enough problems on I its hands without loading additional ones upon it. j Its members serve uithoiil pay. They are called; upon to sacrifice a large amount of their time, and ! it is unfair to saddle additional responsibllll ies upon! them when they have no relation or connection w ith ' the educational plant of the university. The great j growth which has taken place in the last ten years j means that a regent now must spend murh motet time in discharging duties for which he receives no compensation beyond Ihe sense of gratification in tho opportunity for public service than members did before that time. The problems of administration in the School for the Wind, and the School for the Deaf are not solely educational. The attendants at these insti tutions must be clothed and fed. Now the board j of regents Is not In the market purchasing supplies. The board of control looks after that part of the; state's business in connection with most of the j states Instilutions.
