W feel, bowcTer, that the University- of Ne
braAa khould ahake off this tweat-soaked
blanket and f ct down to the actual business of
education.
Favoring athlete In the provision of out
side job is a practice which sucks u deeper
into the maelstrom cf thi "athletic sge "
rhyicai development is commendable
endeavor, but the men who cany the Scarlet
and Cream onto the field of contest represent a
tiny fraction of the student body. If physical

4'In my estimation," continues the athletic
standard bearer, 'the athlete is far above the
vrscft in more wavs than one." "We admire
the man who is physically fit, healthy but
we do not feel that the athlete is far above
the average in other ways. Unfortunately, he
is often below the average in scholarship.
Brineine the subject down to a logical
plane, we must assume that the University of
Nebraska is primarily an educational ihsutu
tion. It fundamental aim is to tstist in the in
tellectual advancement of this state's youth
not to turn out winning football teams.
W. E. L. admit that athletes are favored
in the matter of securing jobs in Lincoln. That
is the condition with which we take issue. We
fear that good students are being denied an
opportunity to educate themselves, simply be
cause an efficient athletic department has gar
nered a horde of jobs for their incoming clan.
"We have not accused the athletic depart
ment of manufacturing jobs. We do not chal
lenge Coach Bible's integrity nor do we insinu
ate that the athletic department ha employed
unfair means in jobbing freshman athletes.
That the department has swamped the job
market at the expense of youths who would
advance me nmversny bb an tuucouuuu un
tution, however, i our contention.
Inconsequential palaver concerning the
money value cf football players to a Lincoln
firm does not help matters. We object to the
athletic department's strenuous employment
campaign because we consider it detrimental
to the true interests of the University of Ne
braska, It is unfair to a prospective athlete to
bring him to college and take up his time with
athletic workouts and a menial job. Some
good football players, some good all-around
athlete manage to turvive four years of col
lege, being graduated with a fair semblance
of education. Many, however, find that prac
tices and outside jobs leave little time for
books. They drift away from the university
with a wardrobe of lettered sweater, nnpre
puiTcd to score touchdowns against a tough
world.
Finally, we hold our ground concerning
the unfairness of holding up the bait of out
side work to high school athletes as an incen
tive to university attendance. This publication
is vitally interested in the quality of Ne
braska's teams. We sincerely hope that the
Cornhusker weep through their opposition to
a season of well-fought victories but not at
the expense of young men who are anxious to
dip into the educational porridge; young men
who are purse poor.

,V Job$ for Athlete.
What! Athletes get too much at
braakal What a supposition for anyone
knows anything about the situation, to make
The complaint set-ms to be thst the 'average
student whoever he may be, is getting no con-
alteration or help in getting through school.
There seems to be no reason why a job should
be handed out to any student unless some em
ployer takes a personal interest in the imh-
iJiul. This athletic age or trend tow ards stn
leties certsinlr justifies any favors done for
athletes, which is more than can be said for the
'average student.
When this howl was put up in the edi
torial column of The Daily Nebraskan for tn
"averare studtnt," and a plea made for him
it waa for no one of more or leas consquences
than the average student. Id my estimation the
sthlete is far above the average in more ways
than one. In the first plsee he csn as easily
be a rood scholar as anybody else. In the ec
ond place he has developed skill thst enables
him to take a front sest in athletics. H is fur
nishing the present public with something they
want and something they will pay lor and en
jov. Anv individual wno can excei in more

ion. A Ten? small percentage of the athletes
thst come to Nebrsska, come for the sole pur
rose of takine part in athletics, w hile the great
" -T - ... .
majority are here to get an education ana are
just aa serious about it as any of the "average
studtats." I think I'm safe in saying thst the
athletes who attend institutions of higher
earning and get degrees, will do as much with
them as the "average tudent."
The majority of the athlete in the country
come from poor fmilie and need the work
that is given to them. They are boy that have
lived clean live and spent a great deal of time
in developing their bodies. They need work
in order to go to school and also continue with
their athletic pursuits. Much time is given by
the athlete to athletics and it is necessary for
him to have a job arranged to suit his class
schedule and his athletic program.
It might even be inferred from the article
written by U. K. R. that Nebraska is making
jobs for her athletes and paying them to come
to school. Jobs for athletes are on the level
and as Coach Bible has stated, "Every job is
open for investigation and they will find it is
simplv helping a boy to help himsell. He
also goes on to say that, "No job is created,
but we have found work for worthy students,
and in many instances work has been found by
the athletic department that would not lit into
an athlete's program, and other boys were put
in these places. I personally know of two
cases where non-athletes were found jobs by
the athletic department and know they hold no
prejudice to non-athletes."
Anyone who says that a football man or a
basketball man or any athlete, does not in some
measure repay his employer in other way be
sides the work he does, does not take into con
sideration the business that certain athletic
contests bring to Lincoln concerns. In other
words, an employer of one athlete gets much
more from the help he gives an average stu
dent. Of course I contend that my argument
for athletes and for the help of athletes, does
not need this last point to bolster it, but it does
play an important part and has a direct bear-
ng on the situation.
Much more could be said in regard to this
problem but above all, I do not want anyone
to get the idea that Nebraska is paying herj
athletes or that her athlete are robbing any
one else of a job or taking more than they de
serve. I'm not placing athletics above aca
demic pursuits nor would I think of doing so,
but in this day and age, people are demand
ing and paj'ing to see athletic contests and
athletes are bound to receive few favors.

TO THE EDITOR:
There it stands, at the northwest corner
of the campus, majestic and towering Me
morial stadium, in memory of those who fought
and died in the nation war. Three of the
flag poles on the balcony corner are void of
banners of any sort. On the other flag mast,
the one on the south corner of the west sta
dium, float a faded American flag, half torn
by the winds and storms of several month.
A memorial edifice of the state university,
largely supported by funds provided by the
government, can boast but one flag that one
ripped to shameful shred because of inattention.
Today political science instructors will be

ernment. History professors will outline inci

flag on the campus is a aemi-existent Old
