What Collegians
Are Most Successful?
"High scholarship, nubstflntinl cnmpus
achievement, early Graduation, and immedintc
selection of the field of work" were found to
be the most important elements In, the future
success of college ntudctitu in a recently pub
lished article on the prominent collegian' en
reer. This discovering lends eortalntv to a
theory which has been expressed often by edu
cators and business men.
Backing up the assertion regarding; schol
arship, W. 8. Clifford, president of the. Ameri
can Telephone and Telegraphy company, offers
pertinent statistics In a treatise, "Does Busi
ness Want Scholars!" The findings of Mr.
Oifford throw light on the ancient collegiate
discussion of grades and their relation to de
finite accomplishment.
Salaries, as compared to years out of col
lege, were made the basis of this interesting
research. The author interviewed many col
lego, graduates and used the records of more
than 2,000 representative men. In addition to
his decision concerning the importance of
scholarship, campus achievement, early gradu
ation, and definiteness of purpose, Mr. Oifford
evaluated extracurricular activities. We quote
him :
"In listing the types of campus activities,
it is found that some types, as literary, for
ensic, and managerial achievement, correlate
with business success more than social, athletic,
musical, and dramatic participations. The
nost valuable type of campus activity is seen
to be intellectual."
This ranking of extracurricular work in
its relation to business success may be a start
ling bit of news to some students on this
campus. We of the lower scholastic strata
linvc often laughed at our studious associates,
locling that our contact with the opposite sex,
nut ability to handshake, toot a flute, lug a
football, or impersonate Ted Lewis would be
nf greater value to us in later life than grades.
Here we make, a mistake. Grades alone
are of little significance, but the qualities
uhieh enable one to clamber to the top rungs
in the scholastic ladder will boost him to the
higher regions in life. True, we must exclude
special talents In our discussion.
"I don't care about grades," exclaims the
collegian, if the I-don't-care man is sincere
in his statement and is attempting to get other
things from his training, he may be justified
in ignoring th&blue pencils. But too often this
is an alibi a salve to cool the conscience.
College life does not Continue indefinitely.
Sooner Or later one must wave goodbye to pen
nants and picnics and embark on a new Jour
ney. If college has whetted his appetite for
work, increased his capacity to learn, added to
his efficiency, then It has been ft profitable In
terlude In life.
How many college men are considering
t hese things 1
Outiide
The Stadium.
Upon glimpsing Memorial stadium packed
to the guards with enthusiastic persons, and
after hearing a rumbling discussion of athletic
over-emphasis in university, one might con
elude that the entire student body is physi
cally fit. This is far from the truth.
Despite the strength of our various ath
letic teams, as demonstrated on the fields of
intercollegiate competition, the student body
ns a whole does not take enough interest in
physical development. Many ardent sport fans
arc content to watch their muncular pals bat
ter their bodies away, without taking any per
sonal part in the violent exercise.
It is not necessary for one to concentrate
his entire energies on sports, but he should
keep his body in condition. The collegiate
tendency to let health take care of itself,
meanwhile punishing the flesh with all sorts
of over indulgence, is a despicable one.
a a
Nebraska is probably much better in this
reRpect than crowded eastern colleges, but im
provement Is in order here. Students have
been crying, praying, begging for a swimming
pool In the university coliseum, but without
any material results. Swimming Is a fine type
of caercise and the university would be doing
a fine thing for its Students, finer than iron
binding their personal conduct, by Installing a
swimming pool.
Other Nebraskan editors hftye printed stu
dent letters and their own editorials on the
swimming pool subject. Reporters have been
d?ployed to proper officials to determine the.
obsticle In the way of pwmm(ng pool con
struction. No mitter how many plausible rea
sons the officials may have offered, Nebraska
needs a awimming pool and does not have one.
Gate reoeipts at football games are re
ported to be Instrumental in the financing of
such physical development plants. I'rHiatis
other competitive athletics are draining tho
football coffers of their desired gold.
Certainly truly Intelligent pcrKum con
nected with the university have erltlclised the
present editor for his rather intemperate, at
tacks on Various officials, facility, administra
tive, athletii) and military. We must admit
that such three-point landings on the neck of
Nonio unsuspecting individuaare somewhat
undesirable. But just as one may smile and
smile and be a villain, ho miu nmy politely
suggest and be a rotten editor. Nebraska stu
dents need and deserve ft swimming pool. They
should no be forced to wallow in the two-by-four
pool at the Lincoln Y. M. C. A.
We have not condemned sny official or
department, but have presented ft reasonable
request for a swimming pool. The dlscourag
Ihir mii-t of this nollte reiKiuestiiiU. however,
is that it may lie. just as poineiy ignoreu. jui
we are willing to try It for a while.

About Fifty 'rttfrn'
College men and women have been un
justly accused of having a tendency 1 exng
gcrate in their daily conversations. It is, most
assuredly, a falsehood. Who could imagine
such a thing? To prove the Utter absurdity of
the accusation, we tear a sample, conversation
from the big book.
"Oh, boy! I studied just about all night
last night and when 1 finally got to bed I
couldn't sleep a Mink. 1 was so nervous about
that exam. And was It tough J Hay that
bozo gave us about a million of the meanest
questions 1 ever heard. Of course everybody
had crib sheets about a mile, long, but that
donkey-cared professor kept peering over our
shoulders every two minutes and 'we couldn't
use 'em.
"You coulda slapped mo down with a
feather when ho hauled out that class book of
his at the end of the exam and took down about
seventy names of pcoplo that didn't get
through right on the dot. Mud! Hay. I coulda
picked that guy up and thrown him clear
across the drill field."

Her subject is chivalry. She comments
rather Reasonably oil this subject before she
touches off the diplomatic bomb which brings
us rushing into print.
"By the way," writes Miss V. B., "in

your favorite views on the subject! It's been
done more than once and it works beautifully.
And they actually come back for more."
We should hire this politician to write an
advice column. During last year's rather
asinine discussion of the national out-and-in-door
sport, commonly known as necking, Rome
coed intimated that many girls light cigafeti
and stuff them between their lips as protec
tive armour. V. B. has suggested a better one.

MORNING MAIL
Snoboctacy
TO THK KDITOR :
The Hnoopa Snob fraternity 011 the Lni
verslty of Nebraska campus has decided its
fifteen or twenty precious neophytes shall
date at only a few selected sororities'. They
might have been limited to the Big Ten so
rorities, or the Six Supers but the Hnoopa
Snobs have decided on the High Kive.
Strangely enough tho Hnoopu Snobs, al
though one of tho oldest fraternities on the
Nebraska campus and affiliated with a strong
national organization, are greatly M-orried
about their social rating. Their freshmen must
dato exclusively at the best houses for the
good of old Snooptt Snob.
Suffering under a delusion that practically
all of the good dates are in four or five sorori
ties the Hnoopa Snobs want to give their fresh
men n flyi) tart in the campus social whirl.
Anyone :th a pinhead of common sense
and lntellige can see the childishness of
this attitude.
They arc attempting to build up a caste
system in an institution which Is built on a
foundation of democracy. They arc giving
themselves and their freshmen inflated Id-ns
of their own Importance. Kven one's social
rating In the outside world is not dependent
on his fraternal affiliations while In college.
Worst df all the Snoopa Snobs arc killing
school spirit at Nebraska. They are fraternity
conscious to the extent that school spirit is put
In the background. There cannot be school
spirit when organisations deliberately attempt
to make class distinctions.
There are several fraternities on the Ne
braska campus in the same category as the
Snoopa Snobs and they are all contributing to
the creation of a greater Snobocraey.
K. R.
Women Expect It.
TO THE EDITOR:
W. F. R. asks for, co-eds opinions on de
cency and chivalry, "if thev know the defini
tions any more." Do coeds know them t Well,
rather. This happens to be ft much discussed
topic on the Nebraska campus.
No matter how much Is said about the sin
glo standard by either sex, women will always
expect, men to be chivalrous and decent. You
may argue that women have demanded equal
rights, that they hv invaded the ptisinesa
M'orld, and that they participate in practically
the same sports that men do. But BO matter
how many arguments you may offer on the
equality of the two sexes, women will go on,
now and forevehnore, expecting chivalrous
treatment.
1 do not agree with W. F. R. in his idea
of how a girl can obtain publicity aiid popu
larity, This slapping and walking-out business
is so much rot. It is anything but lady-like.
If a girl practices this sort of thing, she does
liot (lescrve any notoriety or gain any popu
liirliy from such Apparent display of poor
breeding.
I have never found it necessary to bo mHIi
a mini who, to quote W. F. II., "has three of
his four sheets to the wind." If a girl allows
lkr views on the subject 10 be known and then
sticks to her guns, such Incidents might be
averted.
By the way, instead of liecking-to-dste,
why Hot try airing your favorite views on the
subject? It's been done rnoro than once aud
It works brinilifully. And they actually come
hack for morel
I'm not prude or a puritan. I smoke,
and I have lieeked and drunk. But I do have
Home standard of decency and courtesy, and
I Ins'st that my associates live up to them. If
thev did not, I should certainly not lower my
self In order to gain what, lo some people, con
stitutes popularity.
I wonder If It ever occurred to a lot of
all-Is thai a man may neck his date because he
thinks slui expects It. There happen to be a
lot of darn good inch who waste their time in
this fashion lo give the girl friend a thrill.
Perhaps ir the girls realised this, they would
be awn riled a vote of thanki from their long
suffering swains. V. B.
N About Conduct,
TO TUN EDITOR 1
livery year, when the foot ball team goes
to another state to playvjiiid arrangements are
made for part of the student body to go as
well, some new plan is introduced 111 regard to
the conduct of said kIikIciiIs. This yenr the
newest Idea Is to separate the men from the
women on the train.
University students are usually coiishlereil
partly mature or at least responsible people,
lint, evidently school authorities do not con
sider thc'M anything more ibai; inim-lib-vou
children. They arc not given credit- for know
ing how to act. ''hey are not trusted. Above
all the authorities are not consistent. They
separate the travellers, and chaperon them
carefully, but back at home boys and girls are
together constantly when there is no chaperon.
Of course It would be impossible and very silly
to think of having a chaperon for every date
that the students have. Hlill if It Is Impossible
to chaperon them all the time when they
mingle together, why must they be Mi-pn ruled
a toirnthcr now!
Tlie students are objecting to the rule,
but of course that Ih In vain. Mutt ever, they
would all be very w illing to assure I he per
sons who originated this idea, that It has given
rise to very little but einil pi nf thetn. In the
eyes of the student bml.V. A little mure ennl'l
deuce is what Is needed In 11 trip of this kind.
Instead it N made evident that, there is no
trust placed in the students going.

Regardless of the fact that the
eastern colleges have their Booths
and tbelr crooners, there is, after
all, something fine and grand
about them. They may ba
termed as high-brow ' and mon
eyed Institutions, catering to the
whims of pampered young scions
of wealth, and all that. Critics
may contend that they no longer
represent the culture of the
country, but Instead arc giving
way to the middle west. It may
be true, but we're hot so sure.
Take this matter of athletics.
Years ago, in the time of Owens,
Hubbard and others of Harvard's
f reat athletes, they put out
earns In Cambridge town that
were ranked with the best in
the east. The stands were always
packed with sport lovers who
turned out to a man to witness
the team's orowess. In her en
thusiasm and school spirit Harv
ard has been termed "mollycod
dle." No window breaking or de
spoiling of property, not even a
parade, or a bonfire. Conse
quently one on the outside can
aee no indication of school spirit
whatsoever. There isn't any.
But just sit in the stands at
some game in which Harvard
athletes are participating. You'll
feel it then. It doesn't come up
and pop you between the eyes.
You won't get it listening to
that Impressive chant, Har vard.

in a way that makes you realise
there's something- grand to It
after all.
The attltudo of Harvard today,
as aptly expressed by the school's
football coach, William 3. Bing

from the attitude of nearly all
other schools and colleges scat

Bingham said, "During the aar
