But the difficulties underlying the problem of lack. Work don't excuse his failure to work inde pendently and to achieve such (synthesis as he can. Courses may be measurably related to each other by the thinking student working independently. It can never give such correlation as might be desir able nor such ns might be achieved by such a course as a senior seminar such as The Pailj Nebiaskau suggested some time ago. Put it is one means of helping oneself to an education. Another medium available at present and too often overlooked by the student body is the catalog and the faculty. Hoth can be of service in planning a course. Both can be used profitably by the stu dent in making his derisions as to which courses to take to secure as well-rounded an education as is possible. They can best be used at about this time of year. Football season is drawing to a close. Mid-semesters are past. Jack Work can profitably turn to the catalog and seek advice from friendly instructors as to his program, not alone for next semester but for next year and the year after. Such preparation for registration can help secure courses which will furnish him with the basis for his own synthesis, a substitute for a -directed synthesis, but an aid to education, nevertheless. THE TEAM LEAVES Approximately two thousand university students gathered in front of Social Sciences yesterday after noon and marched to the depot for a rally as the teaiu, coaches, and baud en! rained for West I'oiut. From the Btudent body as a v.in li , that is the last bit of encouragement the team r ill have for the Army game. Following the Pittsburgh game Saturday, it was said that the student body did not show any pirit, and was not behind the team. Perhaps that is so, to a certain extent. Hut a come-down from ihat tremendous enthusiasm built up for the Mis souri game was expected. The rally and send-off yesterday afternoon, how -ever, shows that the Nebraska spirit has not died down, and that the student body is behind its team. SHALL WE 'CRASH' IT? The problem of students attending fraternity parties without invitation is not a local trouble. Other schools have the same difficulty, that of students "crashing" a party. It is true that some studenis pay little or uo attention to who is giving the party, or whether they were invited to attend, and if they are dating that evening, they attend the party. Some students, although rarely inviied, attend practically every downtown party given during the school year. The Indiana I'uily Student, in an editorial re printed iu these columns under "Other Students Say." deplores the practice of crashing parties. As a remedy, the student council at the Indiana school proposes that each fraternity send one Invitation to the other groups, and that those Invitations he pre sented at the door. Such a system would do awav with party crashing, but it would not work where personal invitations are extended. The other remedy proposed, that of each frater nity insisting Ihat its members stop crashing par ties, would take rare of the situation in a better way. Every fraternity knows the way in which oub.idera are looked upon at their parties, and a man, knowing that he was being termed a "crasher," would hesitate about taking a date o a parly unless he had an invitation. WEST POINT AND 6TUDIES When the baud went to lawri-nri;, there were some twenty-five men unable to make the trip be cause of scholastic ineligibility. Out of the total number of bandmen for whom there were possibil ities of the West Point trip, there were only two or three delinquent in school work. This situation only drives home harder that old saying, "Hitch your wagon to a star." The wagon in this case was such an enviable possibility as that trip; the star was tho fulfillment of all Its requirements. Knowing that realization of their desire depended upon their scholarship, In part, the band is one group of students Ihat has watched its class standing closely for a quarter. The results show It. Ostensibly, the lucky hand member was the one who was selected to make the trip, and lie was undoubtedly a most fortunate man. However, all Is not lost for those who were disappointed. They are far ahead for having kept up iu their school work. Mid-stsnester time w8uld certainly have been an uncertain week for some of them, If It had not been for the West Point Incentive. It Is unfortunate that we do not have more incentives. The West Point trip was a dream that from the birth of it as an Idea to l rain time was most doubtful as to Its outcome. The reward of a continued and more consistent application In schol astic duties is within the understanding of the whole student body, not Just an organization of a hundd men. The good fortune of fifty of these men only illustrates the point that "stars" are no! reached a real stairway that reaches the ' peted with hard work and . ffoit. stars."

Speaking of apeparances being deceiving, the drill field is always muddier than it looks. Hrighain Young university and the University of Utah are having an argument over the bones of a prehistoric elephant. It is too bad that these schools had to go back so far to get a bone to pick. While the West Point trip would mean a lot, there are many students who would seriously miss the week's work In school that would be lost. Fiction and c ..r literature seems to come iud go in cycles. At one Urns t litre is a rush of a coeti'in type, of work, followed by a declitui r.nd then the ascent of an other type. Haek-to-thesoll ma terial has had Its heyday and with most people fed up and rejoicing, It is taking a back seat. The las! year has seen a return of the war story. It ia probably due to the fad that ten years ago war ceased, and people at that time did not want to hear any more of it, but now the war Is history and ex soldiers are telling their off-spring about their experiences with the enthusiasm of Civil War veterans. Fiction of this type floods tho mar ket, in book form and as Smay Announces Possibility That Nebraska Work Will Be Shown According to the information ob tained from Prof. J. E.

Many students are taken in by the Idea that to be a campus success they are required to do some thing big for the college, while at the same time they are tjasiiug their energies ou matter of sec ondary Importance. The prime reason for such misplaced effort is to gain recognition and prestige ou the campus. The senior year is an awakening in most cases; by that lime the student feels that lie ha6 been cheated and becomes disgusted and perhaps embit tered. What has been said Is no argument for shun ning activities; they maye have values, it Is an argument against a blind, feverish grabbing at cery office one can get. The mere negative ideal of being a nonpartlcipatit will not necessarily make one a poised, illumined personality, but It will clear the deck for real achievement in college. It Is un wise to be drawn in by false Ideas of success In college, merely because the majority accept those ideas without question. Cinciimuti Beurrat son, partmeiit, and Dr. 1!. t.
