I HAVEN'T TIME
"I haven't time!" It is the byword of the collr-
student. It is the pass word which permits the stu
dent to escape the tasks that approach with out
stretched arms. It is at once the word of relief from
new tasks and the word of sorrow that other enjoy
able works cannot be undertaken.
Arnold Bennett once wrote a little booklet, "How
to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day." The average
collegian could greatly profit if someone could treat
the problem from the standpoint of the life of the
student of the modern institution of higher educa
tion. Utilization of lime was the bi6 secret of ISennett's
advice on living on the time man has. It is no less
a factor In sotvkig the constant query of the student
mind: "Where can Wind time to do this, and this,
and this, and that, and that, and that?"
The modern world is a busy world. The modern
life is a busy life. Students, in the main, are going;
to pass from the busy whirl of the classroom and
extra-curricular activities to some phase of the mad
dervish of America's super-speeded commercial life.
I'se of time is to be aa essential for advancement
in position. It will be no less an essential for a
reasonable enjoyment of life.
The student who learns to utilize his time well in
the dizzy pace forced on him in college has a big
advantage in the task of learning to utilize his time
well outside. He has an edge in the battle for a
living and for the appreciation of living. Such util
ization of time does not consist merely in wiping
out idle moments. It does not consist merely in util
ization of scattered bits of time through the day.
The utilization of time that will be of value to the
student of today, the graduate tomorrow, in of a
different nature. It Is the utilization of time that
omes from an evaluation of activities. It is the abil
ity to recognize lines of effort whose value is slight,
and the willingness to substitute for them those
lines of effort which promote the real ends of the
individual.
A multitude of Interests besiege the average stu
dent. Fortunate is he who can choose wisely thopa
which will beat round out his development. Fortun
ate is he who can eliminate the spokes from tho
college's whirling wheel which mean r'.easure at the
sacrifice of development, which man time devoted
io inessentials that the student would prefer to de
M)te to essentials.
The student who has acquired the technique of
'How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day," speaks
the phrase, "I haven't time" with a different mean
ing than the average harassed collegian. He has
time for the real If not for the trivial. He may stgh
v. ith regret that he cannot undertake other efforts.
But he smiles with satisfaction at the knowledge
that he has chosen In what direction his efforts will
be turned rather than permitting himself to wander
unguided in a maze of studies, activities, social life,
and Idle conversation.
GOOD BYE CAPTAIN?
Anticipating a long howl of dismay from some
students and severe condemnation from the "Guard
ians of the Pacred Traditions" at its suggestion that
the football captaincy be abandoned. The Daily Ne
braskan has been pleasantly surprised by the ap
parent unanimity of agreement that such a move
mould be a sound step for the betterment of Ne
braska athletics.
In fact, not only were The Nebraskan' comments
received almost unanimously but. apparently the aug
Eestlon was directly in line with discussion already
occurring among a considerable portion of the letter
men, discussion which preceded The Nebrsskan's re
marks. Iecsion of the 1928 letter men that they prefer
to eliminate the election of a captain, In th Inter
cuts of eliminating differences which have been an
unharmonfons factor In Husker teams several years,
i.-. the only thing necessary' to pave the way for a
new system, in agreement with the general tendency
of better developed Intercollegiate athletics.
QUEER BIRO, EH?
"Queer fellow, Isn't be? Bo different, so odd. Just
c:in't solve that guy."
So often is the verdict of an acquaintance
rendered In the above nomenclature. And the per
son adjudged unfathomable goes on being the out
sider simply because his companion, those that rub
elbows In classrooms, have grasped at the oddities
of a character and generalized upon the meagre se
lection of character traiu.
It would be a yet queerer world if every young
man and woman thought the same and performed
the tame. In university life there is a certain pre
scribed routine that ha to be followed, and that
routine la supposed to prodi'?? something of identi
cal reaction on each struent. The supposition falls
flat, however, when actual life is taken out Into the
open.
University life does not produce an Identical ef
fect on each indlvl iual student. "Oh, he goes to col
lege," Is one of tr e characterizing expressions used
by the spectator. In that expression lies the verdict
whir"- has been -hrown out promiscuously to every
pub. ' nd that verdict 1 swallowed whole.
It 6 .be recognized among students themselves
In the first instance that the great mass of college
youth is not a homogeneous mass. The attitude of,
responsibility Is varied with eve:y student. Every
student briups io (lie classroom a different heri
tage, a different conception of the purpose that he
has in liii i,cc:ntUHied community. Kose.-colored i
classes i'-.ii the view of many, easy optimism marks
tli" conduct of scoies of others, and there is the
plodder. There are indeed a multiplicity of varia
tions and anomalies from the recognized types.
The conception of tho college student as one and
the same thJnir, .a type, must initially be expelled
from the student mind. Oddity, too often taken ns
the sole criterion to character, is but a small chap
ter in the story.

has been customary to hold this convocation of all
students at 1 1 o'clock on the Tuesday preceding
Thanksgiving. All classes were dismissed for the

found the occasion to be of unusual interest.. In the

Many students regret to see this custom pass. The
size of the University of Nebraska makes the hold

Yet students thereby miss much of the srtrit of
unity and comradeship fostered by these services
in smaller schools. Very few opportunities are offered
for mass meetings of the students. Thanksgiving

Traditions policemen at a great many colleges are
finding obstacles Jn the path of the fulfillment of '
their offices. Students are rebelling against un-j
wanted traditions and patrolmen. '
Traditions are wholl) dependent upon student
spirit, and their success rests with the acceptance
and approval of those actually affected by them. Un
desirable traditions can never be forced upon a clasn
or a student body.
Unquestionably traditions have a distinct place In
and are a aluable part of college life. Rut they can
not be initialed upon a group of students totally
devoid of school spirit. Traditions are false and
meaningless without a foundation of student inter

Rather they are the natural result of a strong and

MENTAL INERTIA
li is a characteristic of lazy people that they try
to benefit by the activities of others rather than at
their own expense. This principle ha a peculiar
nd particular application in the realm of thought.
Nowhere do we find people so ready to depend upon
the activities aa in the field of knowledge, and par
ticularly in that of abstract thought. The Insidious
thing about this pernicious habit, aa of most bablts,
is that people do not realize tjlat they are sub
merged In the slough of stagnation. This is true not
only because It is a characteristic of habits in gen
eral, but also for the very special reason that they
are led to believe the opposite.
The average man In the street prides himself on
having an opinion on some of the current topics of
the day. We often hear "public opinion" seriously
considered as a directing factor In communal affairs.
But what Is the source of this opinion both of the
man in the street as an Individual and the public
as an entity? The great source is the newspaper;
in some Individual cases a book that has been read.
Those whose business It is to create public opinion
for the public present It as palatable propaganda on
the newspapers one day, and on the following day
we are very apt to read the same thing In different
wording under the caption of "Public Opinion."
The public reads and is flattered. It is conceled
to have an opinion. How true is this In the field of
dogma! How little we think ourselves and how
prone we are to accept the antiquated Ideas ot
others for our own!
College is supposed to be a place where men are
taught to think are stimulated to think, but unfor
tunately many seem to have a threshold of stimula
tion which even a university cannot overcome. They
pass on absorbing the thoughts of others, but rarely
producing a thought of their own.
