Welcome,
You Grads!
Tomorrow the campus will lie Inisy with one
of its lonsr standinp; traditions. Grads will bo
filing in from all parts of tho country to visit
their Alma Mater. Many will foi'l (treat con
cern over this event and will be occupied with
the bustle of seeing that the week end is a
truly representative affair. Others, perhaps,
will considr it as only an added high-light in
the roster of scholastic activities.
Homecoming does not mean the same to the
students ns it does to the alumni. Students
are toiling at their hooks and struggling with
various other tasks. They see their instructors
every day, and the same classmates. They
trod the same sidewalks, are bounced about on
the same ear cushions by the same bumps on
north twelfth street every day. When the
grads breeze into town, they see many of their
old friends, and, to be sure, 1hey are glad to
greet old friends. But the same surroundings
are present, there is not a great deal of change
from the usual run of affairs.
To the graduate there is a complete change
of scenery. He is free from the worries of his
iob and enjoys a vacation of a day or two.
lie greets his old friends and basks in the
scenes of his younger days. The experiences
of. college years are relieved. Truly, Home
coming is a day for the alumnus.
e
The students are. interested, however, in
showing the grads a good time. (!reek houses
are decorated, and banquets are held, r ra
ternity and sorority folks avail themselves of
the opportunity to form a closer bond between
their own alumni and their active chapters.
This year a new idea is being injected into
Homecoming. Heretofore, fraternity and so-
-Nrjr!f3 parties were held to which ri';- Greeks
were invitftt. There ds nothing for the non
fraternity man or woman, and. in fact, no
typical university function. It is clearly seen
that something representative of the entire uni
versity should be used as a climax to the day.
This need is being met this year by an all
university party at a low price to which all
students and all alumni are cordially invited.
The Innocents society should be commended
for thfir efforts i:i promoting this party, and
Greek houses should also be commended for
their support. The nonfraternity element has
also lended its efforts, all of which will make
this party a more tpyically university party
than any heretofore held.
With a rally as a starter, the decorations,
the Kansas-Nebraska battle, and the all uni
versity party to climax the affair, Homecom
ing this year should be a grander success than
it has ever been. It will embody the spirit
of the entire student population and the uni
versity as a whole, instead of coming more
from individual campus organizations.
So The Nebraskan says "Welcome Grads."
Kosmet Klub had better be on the lookout.
The lawyers may get an injunction on the Ne
braska Sweetheart presentation.
A college in Minnesota accepted grain to
ward payment for tuition this fall, allowing
60 cents for wheat, oT cents for barley, and 'J5
cents for oats. Wonder how they'd trade for
shortst "We're short on our English, short on
chemistry, short on sociology, and plenty of
other things.
'Uncrowned
King of America.''
One of those impudent school bovs of the
past that, perhaps, was Thomas A. Edison, of
whose deatn many words are now being
spoken. Younger generations now have visions
gained from reading which pictures the world's
electrical wizzard as a dullard when it came
to larnin and it is understood that the lad
who detested school had little interest in arith
metic, spelling and other subjects.
Whether those, stories are based upon the
actual situation is of little consequence. Edi
son, undoubtedly, if ))c. WH!1 i,iimicing the
teachers in a figurative thumbing expression,
had the wheels in his head turning toward
things several decades ahead of his associates.
That grade school youngster had evidently out
grown nis environment before he had met it.
The life of Edison causes one to wonder just
how profound is the schooling ssytem of these
United States. It caused one to ponder over
the proposition of whether education is being
presenrea in ine correct light and the correct
method. One hears much of the selfmade men
of this nation and of the world. No selfmade
man, it is safe to say, hat ever achieved greater
triumphs than are acclaimed for Edison. He
had a thoro knowledge of worldly affairs. He
had an understanding of science which no
teacher can pass on. He knew life and human
nature in a way that has caused millions to
envy, yet to admire him. He had all the at
tributes, apparently, and they were carried
out to full effect in his daily conduct, which
make a man of the fullest living. Hdisun, ns
Kmil Ludwig remarks in his forth iti-
"Gifts of Life," was the "uncrowned King ol'
America."
Yet, the Wizard of Menlo Park has done till
this without the so-called higher education ms
offered by modern institutions of learning. Was
it because ho was a genius? Hardly, at least,
not entirely. He had much to overcome in
his more than eighty-four years. He did things
for which he has gained fame in spite of all
his handicaps. Kdison was npcii-iiiiiid'd.
awake, and aggressive. What opportunities
there arc for he who can hut make the best
of all the powers and forces lying before hint!
The Oregon State Barometer wants to know :
Is there anything in the world more disheart
ening than to await three weeks for a date,
get it, ami then to have the girl decide to go
home for the weekend?
Pardon I s, But
About This Floor,
There comes a time in the life ol' every
editor when he is moved to disbelieve the oft
reputed and overemphasized axiom, "Ihe
power of the press."
Now we have explained; we have denlored.
and we have seo"ned ; we have shamed ; we have
cajoled and we have pleaded; we have done
all manner of things possible for ft mere wielder
of the pen can do. Vet, still, and in spite of
all these attempts at remedy, the floor of Ihe
reference room in the main library still lies
embarrassedly denuded of any covering or
noise-absorber.
The "power of the press" would seem then.
rather ineffective in so far as achieving any
results of any cause advocated are concerned.
Perhaps it is for the press to advocate a cam
paign to raise the funds necessary to cover
the floor with linoleum of some sort which
would do away with the noise of clacking
spikes and steel plated gunboats.
I-iVen though material results were not
achieved by all the agitalion pdt forth on this
problem, balm to our wounded ego would be
easily applied by an answer from someone in
authority as to why it would not be profitable
or possible to accede to the demand.
It is the policy of faculty, advisers, groups,
in fact everyone on the campus to stress good
scholarship as the prime goal for every stu
dent. It should he, therefore, the policy of
these groups and individual., to advocate suit
able conditions of study under which individ
uals who wish to study may do so unrestrain
edly and uninterruptedly.
e advocate good scholarship; we advocate
floor coverings for the reference library; we
are consistent. Other gonitis who have some
thing to say about the acquis! ion or lack of
floor covering advocate good scholarship ;
they do not, however, act in regard to pro
moting conditions conducive to Ihe end in view,
nor do they explain why or even answer why
such improvements cannot be made.
Now, having continued the process of de
ploring, agitating, and scorning, adding in this
instance, a bit of inquisition, we are forced
once again to fall hack upon the original
maxim ask rhetorically and doubtfully, how
about the "power of the press?"
A recent editorial in The Nebraskan men
lions that the Gornhusker spirit is bottled up.
No doubt Homecoming will see a good num
ber of the bottles opened up.
MORNING MAIL
Quit Muddling.
TO THE EDITOR:
The cake rides of students around university
thoroughfares Thursday afternoon were rude!.
segmented by halls at slop buttons which have
sprung up most obnoxiously over night. The
buttons to which 1 make reference have been
placed of late in both the new mall and the
coliseum mall. Already they muddle tilings up
in fine shape, with wonderful opportunities for
perpetuation.
As yet, the traffic situation at the University
of Nebraska has not resolved itself into the
problem of pedestrian safety. The streets and
malls are sul'fcientlv wide as to allow students
to cross with ease and safety, with traffic asj
is. The only area of irritating congestion, that
in front of Social Science, has so far been
left untouched.
The biggest problem has been to abolish
automobile accidents, which cannot be as long
as university students arc allowed to drive
cars. Perhaps, even, the stop buttons have
been placed to discourage ownership.
I tie sum of the thing is that the means which
has been taken to do help is utterly factitious
anil terribly irritating. Why don't we iiit
muddling around and solve the problem?

NEWSPAPER TALK
Humor in the Lecture Halls.
A professor in history injected two jokes
into a recent lecture the first light of hu
mor to break the monotony of this semester.
Students remarked on the incident as they
left tho lecture room mid the concensus of
opinion seemed to be that the lecture was the
most interesting they had listened to in that
particular course. Yet it is significant that
the lecturer presented iust as manv drv facts
as nc nan in preceding talks and delivered
them in practically the same manner and tone
of voice.
The slight break in the stiff formality
he had maintained was the more obvious and
the more appreciated by his students because
they had just about reached the stage where
they believed the speaker inhuman. The two
stories were pithy and dry in themselves, but
they presented a change in the ordinary fact
ual forage and students are sensitive to such
changes.
Some of our lecturers take their work
too seriously. They might profit immensely
by attending the lectures of their contempo
raries in the various courses of the University.
An observation of the results attained bv
these other men through the employment of
a bit of humor now and then miirht awaken
them to like possibilities which exist in their
own work. The Daily lllini.

KOSMET PLANS
NEW AWARD AT
MORNING SHOW
Continued from Page 1.1
after a decision has been reached.
The trophy has been originated
to reward the organization work
ing hardest in the show. It is also
thought that it will inspire more
work among the acts chosen and
will create a stronger desire for
organizations and others to get
acts in the show.
The trophy will be displayed at
some popular place on the campus
for a week before the show. Ac- :
cording to the rules, if a combina-1
tion act wins the cup, It will be
presented to both and the respec
tive organizations will split the
time of possession. j
The cup will be awarded every
year and is intended to be a per
manent tradition just as many of
the other awards at Nebraska.
Following is the Inscription
which will be engraved on the face ,
of the cup: "Magce Trophy, pre- '
sented to Kosmet Klub, 1st award, j
annual Kosmet Klub revue, pre-
sented (blank, fraternity or soror-
ity or both i."
