aihertised grid teams get into the huddle
'I hoy are veil advertised because they arc
teams which have been startling sportsmen.
One point which will interest many is the
fact that the Nebraska eleven will buck, in the
Northwestern backfield, n man who used to
fight under scarlet and cream colors. An un
fortunate incident, it is claimed, brought about
this interesting change. There is no ned of
reciting the circumstances.
The man who was caused to make that
change is an asset to any football team. He
went to Northwestern and immediately became
a prominent figure in football circles. He was
a distinct loss to Nebraska, some say, but there
is no need to weep.
Nor, on the other hand, is there any reason
for either of the two teams to become malici
ously antagonistic. Such used to be t he order
of things in the days when football was a
caveman's game. Grid fans used to become
more incensed than those who were actually
doing the playing, and the. after effects of a
big game were something hardly to be talked
of. It was n well built city that could stand
up under the thunderous strain. Now it is
different. Nebraska is going to Chicago and
show Northwestern some clean football. North
western is going to show Nebraska some of the
same thing.
Educate
But Do It Well!
IA discussion appears in the Morning Mail
column loday bearing on the theories of voca
tional education, a subject which has been
iiLven considerable attention in previous issues
of. The Daily Xehniskan, especially in connec
tion with tlie accusation that universities are
defeating their own purpose thru modern spe
cialization. Dean J. K. I-eRossignol defends
lurMness training in the universities, in a pam
phlet recently published, when he discusses a
Into k written" by a certain Dr. Flexner. The
dean, however, admits that certain cultural
training must accompany the business knowl
edge. It was not ihe purpose of The Dail Ne
braskan to arirue against specialized or voca
tional education. It was. rather, an urge to
warn that this special training is being ac
complished at the expense of other valuable
features of a university. Foremost of those
features is the faculty of the institution which
is becoming depleted of prominent members
who fly off to better positions and more lucra
tive reimbursements. It is not the fault of
vocational education thai, such a situation
arises; it is the fault of not having enough
iiiiney to carry on o gref.t a program as the
lniversity of Nebraska proposes.
J
I Vocational education and specialized train
ing are, perhaps, the greatest needs of the
. uirld today, due does not propose to argue
that point here. Practically every person
working in this editorial den beneath ''" hall
is specializing in journalism, or at least in
some of its phases. The ed'tor is enrolled
vdihin a college which is based entirely upon
srm-einlized training and vocational education.
?Cny are. taking similar work and are sold
o it.
4"hat does ii"t al'or this fact: The uuiver
sHyTls too great a project to be handled with
the funds now at the disposal of officials who
do the handling. Something is wrong, of
course, because annually there is now being
s-pent hundreds of 'housands f do'lars more
'"han was spent but a few years ago. The
wroiigness does not come in there being that
much more money spent, il comes, rather, in
there being too many things upon which to
.pend that money.
Thus, if there i not enough money mid if
iicultv nidi -. !').-t because of low salaries,
(Jf what good is the vocational education.' It
k true that plenty of instructors can be ob
tained who are pble to go thru the procedure
of pedagogy and who can bring about excel
lent displays in the mechanics of classroom
n citation. Rut, as the dean of the college
of business ediniiiistration points out, there
rtiust lie certa'.i ml ural establishments in the
training of ca-1: b-'siness individual if the edu-
;::iion is to I; ".,plete.
('uhural 1 mining, too, can be put on in
cheap) p'.i ordinary form, especially if it is side
tracked as b: -idental to the business aspects
of a coli..c career. Training minds so that
men will be able to go out and create a better
business statesmanship is merely, in the final
analysis, a training of hands. It is pure me
chanics. What the business world needs more
than anything else is an influx of mental bril
liance which will devise means of building life
in the more profound forms that were intended
to be. Good business ladies and statesman
ship will come as a result. What is the crying
iieed, first, is statesmen who can bring about
cultured life. Business will be an outcropping.
It is evident, then, that what is wanted is
not a doing away with specialized training, but
a bringing back of culture, as is the. motive
'if learned subjects and the profession created
by them. Since the university cannot continue
its program of expansion without the loss of
isiich valuable assets as men who are cultured
thru their extensive study, then the university
has erred in continuing expansion. There w
no need, exactly, of every student devoting
four or more years to a study of Latin, Greek,
'astronomy and such. Theri is. however, a
need of maintaining a faculty which is actu
ally superior in those cultural worths.
I Finally, if something must be given up and
it is evident that there is too much of some
'.ling let it not be the ii.'-ulty. It is better
to educate a few people weli than to make a
tness of the entire population.
Speaking of crashers, there are some parties
which have been successful because of the fact
.that there were no cards taken at the door.
The men's pep organization, evidently, has
gone to wreck and ruin.
.Many who cannot go to Northwestern for
the game went to the. Northwestern for the
rally. (Raspberry !)

MORNING MAIL
On Training for Business
lid. note: Following are excerpts from a
printed discussion by Dean .1. E. LeRossignol
of a book written by Dr. Abraham Flexner,
entitled "A Modern College and a Modern
School," which deplores the aimlessuess of the
American college. Dean LeRossignol, who
heads the college of business administration,
points to what he calls the diatribes of Dr.
l-'lexner. whim he accusses of "numerous ad
missions and inconsistencies."
here given is brief, necessarily,
are words of Dr. Flexner, the
comments of the dean.
Is business a profession? In a loose way. the
term "profession" is used merely as the antithesis
to "amateur:" hence one may speak of a profes
sional cook or a professional football player, a pro
fessional barber, or business man. But. from ;fc?
standpoint of the university, though cookr .-rd
business men have in many institutions ensconced
themselves comfortably in the academic grooves, a

princess, the honorary colonel can
didate whom they are supporting.
Presidents' Duties Are Myths
In the background are those
stretches of disputed territory, the
four class presidency positions and
the honorary colonel post. These
30-said stretches are really "prom-
i ised" lands for activity men who
reach them, as fa ras the class
reach them, as far as the class
longer do class presidents have
duties to accomplish, other than
seeing that their photograph is
taken so that their picture may
appear in the Cornhusker annual.
Class presidencies, as a matter
of fact, have dwindled into mere
sinecure positions, their only use
being as a political weather vane
which points out the party in
power. Some attempt was made
to stimulate the class presidents
into activity last year by having
them call class meetings for the
consideration of a union building
project. The junior and senior
presidents succeeded in setting a
date, calling a meeting, and having
a pep talk or two.
There was a time, two years ago,
when classes could pick a vice
president and secretary as well as
a president. When it so happened
that the factions, and not the class,
b ?i making these selections, the
'.V.'.'cnt council heaved a ruling
bombshell which blew the minor
offices out of existence.

Applying this areunient to university train

ner summarily dismisses the undergraduate
school of commerce or business as offering
courses which are a poor substitute for a sound,
general college education and which, in the
long run. seem likely to be of slight vocational
importance. Apparently, he has withdrawn his
previous approval of the retroactive pressure
of nrofessional careers in yeie-ral. and of tin-
curriculum of the school of business economies gpQRT
of Johns Hopkins university in particular.
Yet the alternative of a four-years' general
college course for all students before enterin-,'

goes far beyond continental Kuropean stand

Dr. Flexner himself for entrance to schools of

That the university extension

Emile V. Telle, of the Romance
language department, are being
followed by 35 book purchasers;
and Dr. W. K. Pfeiler's German
lessons are being studied thru use
of the textbook-by 18 persons.
The beginning Spanish course is
broadcast every Saturday morn

when the plan was in session, and
student loyalty and genuine Corn

height.
Its failure to run throughout the
years is laid, by faculty members
who remember it very distinctly, to
lack of support given the plan by
organized groups. Individual stu

says, but since it was sponsored by
only freshmen organizations, the

it was doomed to death even when

Dr. Nels A. Bengston, chairman
of the department of geography,
ha3 received a letter from C. L.
Dow, graduate assistant in geog
raphy here last year, and now
instructor in geography at the
University of Illinois, describing
his work at that institution.
Lord Northcliffe is quoted by

time seems to have borne out his
statements. To turn our attention
to England. First was the tem
porary suspension of the gold stan
dard which is attracting comment
throughout the entire world. Fur
thermore, Norway, Denmark, and
Sweden have followed Great Bri
tain's example. Next, consider
India, and the problem that she
constitutes, with her caste sys
tem. And now we hear rumors
that Lloyd George, wartime pre
mier, and leader of the liberal
party will replace Ramsey 'Mc
Donald as leader of England's la
bor party. It looks like England
will be good "hot news" for many
months to come.

HUSKER LEADSJHE BIG SIX
Conference Scorers Led By
Kreizinger With a Total
of 24 Points.
Everett Kreizinger, the veteran
backfield man on the Cornhusker
eleven, leads the Big Six in individ
ual scoring after the first week of
play. He scored 24 points in the
Nebraska-South Dakota game last
Saturday. Masterson, Paul, Sauer,
and Sehmitt also scored.
Nearest to Kreizinger is Lee
Tage of Kansas, whose touchdown
and three placekicks in the Kansas-Colorado
Aggie game, gave
him a total of nine points. Three
of his team mates, Carnie Smith,
Elmer Schaake, and Phil Borello,
each scored a touchdown in the
same game.
Only three of the Big Six teams
have seen action so far, but all of
them will have played by the end
of this week. Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa State played last week.

.... There is danger that our university
schools of business, instead of giving the stu
dents a proper cultural background and a
broad, general training for business, may try
to prepare them for particular occupations
accountancy, banking, meat packing, hotel
management, and the like thus inducing: them
to specialize too soon, to enter overcrowded
fields, to prepare for careers, which they may
never foUo-w. and to receive training in the
university which may better be obtained in
the finishing school of practical business.
Again, the tendency noted in the older pro
fessional schools toward th training of mere
practitioners rather than ninn learned in
theology, law and medicine, may be observed
also in our university schools of business.
What the world needs most at the present time
is not more money makers of the older type but
a new generation of scientifically minded busi
ness statesmen who, while earning profits for
themselves and their associates, shal have
broad vision, a long-time point of view, a
sense of obligation to the general public, and a
will to do their part toward making the eco
nomic order better and more satisfactory 1o
all concerned.
It must he confessed, then, that the schools
are prone to place efficiency before science,
success before service, and that, in general,
business ideals are not preached to students
as faithfully as they are to taxpayers and bene
factors when appefih are made for financial
support.

The intramurals advisor, Miss
Clarice McDonald, gave the tenta

automatically becomes a member
of W. A .A. when she matriculates
in the university." This is the
third year for all the sports of

competition is comparatively new,
having been used last year for thp
first team. Only sports are offered
that are team sports taught in
