The Nebraskan has had too few internes. T siii a senior. The t lias ne lor un to take Si "ok of myself. Jn a few weeks I will be graduated from this institution. I have spent four vears of my life and a great deal of mv father's money in preparation for my chosen profession.' I have attended many classes, written many papers, had many lec tures poured upon me, and have read many books in an attempt to gain background m an effort to put myself on a par with my fellows. Soon that work will be finished and I must see what I have done. Tn a sense J have failed. I have taken Ihe prescribed courses and the iipecssarv pipes. I have acquired more than 325 credit bonis with grades not too poor. These things are supposed to assure me of a job. I have drunk of the magic elixir and it is water. The lectures T have heard, the books I lime read, the papers I have written, who is inler fsted in them but me? Who will eare to talk iibout the thinirs 1 have learned? What does Ihe world care for my "background '.' 'Ihcy. out there, want to know what I ean do. And what can 1 do I I ean argue constructively or destructively about history, polities, eco nomics, or literature. 1 ean write a good paper. I can appreciate a good book. Hut can I earn a living? . People do not want to talk about intanjnMe things. They want to know who will win 1 ho world series, who will be president, how are the crops, what kind of a coach is Bible, and isn't it a nice day. Does one need a college i.fliinutimi for flipse nuestioilS? This is a period of financial depression, j Dislike the. word as you may, Ave arc forced! to recognize it, call it Avliat you aviii. in my profession thousands of men and women are out of AA-ork. Where, then, am J to go? What am I to do? Any beginning Avhich J might care to make would require an outlay of three thousand dollars. -My college education cost that much or more and perhaps I would have been Aviser to have use, it for a beginning in a business. The outlook is not bright. Optimists Avill pierce me through and through Avith swords of .sarcasm as to my spinelessiiess, but 1 still Avill not have a job. e t Still, my college years have not been failures at all. I have made friends, many of them. I have worked in many activities, 1 have been complimented for various things that 1 have done. After a fashion 1 am respected by my class mates. My friendships here Avill never die, that makes my college education a success. Disappointments have assailed me at almost every turn, but fate, that sardonic master of our destinies, has so balanced the gifts that 1 have never been disappointed for long. Peo ple, faculty and students alike, I count as my friends, some of them arc taggers, avIio arc friendly because I have been successful. Oth aic! am ttiin friends and those are the ones T value. The true friends make college a great place. They are the ones to wnom you " talk, the ones avIio Avill listen and talk Avith one about the things which arc interesting. College is a great place. Failures are bal anced by successes. 1 may have a background which Avill never assist me in a breadline, but I have friends upon whom I can always count, and pleasant memories, which although they Avill not feed and shelter me, will aid materi ally in the years Avhen those friends are gone. ' One would think that after 24 applied for iicavs editor and women's editor on the Daily Nebraskan they would at least report for work on the last few issues, but they don't. Just one of the worries of the managing editor Not "A Ship In The Desert." According to an article appearing in the Thursday Daily Nebraskan the Columbia school of journalism has taken a radical step in education. The report, which emanates from the active news agency at North Carolina university, states that regular class room pe riods, wlili their lectures, assignments, sleep, and no on, have been abandoned in favor of an eight hour working day in actual news gathering and editing. All steps in the actual preparation of a newspaper are made except the actual printing. In other words, the Columbia journalist gets actual experience in putting out a newspaper, with the advantage that his amateurish mis takes cause no embarrassment. Professors under this plan serve as editors and head copy desk men. It is their duty to guide the fledg lings along the paths of valuable experience, ami when students make mistakes, they reflect only on themselves. the success of such a system, of course, binges on the previous "background" 1 raining Ihe student journalists have had. Columbia is primarily a graduate school. .Registrants there are assumed to have had a preliminary 1 raining iii the arts and social sciences. Only with a thorough general course for background could students hope to profit from the Colum bia plan. Hardened newspaper men are prone to scorn efforts of schools of journalism. Perhaps their criticisms are justifiable, but if a modifi cation of Ihe Columbia system of training could be adopted for advanced students in other schools, Avould the newspaper man rail at col legiate journalistic training? .lust two more issues of The Daily Nebras kan. one more issue of the Awgwan and the Cornhusker yet to appear and then exams. There Ousht To Be a Lau: One of the greatest of the extra-curricular activities, one of the great unrecognized, one of those for which the A. W. S. board gives no activity points, and the one at which most students spend the most time is the lime hon ored and traditional bull session. It is in this activity, so loosely organized and so carelessly conducted, 1hat men really become acquainted and that Avomen really come to know their sisters. Hull sessions are Avonderful things. The con versation Ave nds its way 1o hundreds of topics, to a complete and thorough discussion of a myraid of subjects. The enjoyment that stu dents get out of Ihese sessions is comparable to no other activity on the campus. And yet l is unrecognized. The detrimental part of the bull session is tlie fact that it takes so much time and that they rob one of so much sleep. The Student council or someone should pass a law that all bull sessions should end at midnight or some such hour. You see, we Avere in one last night.

Koosevelt, sent a It learam of apprecia tion to the convention lenders Avheii notified of his nomination. The mock convention was started in 1!)0S, ami since that time the Washington and Lee politicians have guessed right four out, of five times. William .Inniiiiys J'.ryan Avas the. first candidate selected. In the only error Avas made when .ludsou Harmon Avas chosen over WoodroAV Wilson. In 1916 the con vent imi turned republican and nominated Charles Kvans Hughes. There was no convent ion in 1920. but in 1924 the university politicians outguessed the majority of newspapers ami professional prophets by se lecting John W. Dais. darkest of dark horses. Alfred K. Smith Avas named in 192K. With, the excellent, record f only one error does this mean that Kooscvelt has a lour-to-one chance for the actual nomination? Vir ginia Cochran. Six new members were initiated into Ait club at a 6:30 dinner at Morrill hall Thursday evening. Af ter the dinner the group was enter tained by n showing of slides of the "Bohemian Hop."

Announcement of forty-seven applications for positions on the business and editorial staffs of the Daily Nebraskan has caused pres ent staff members to scratch their heads and laugh heartily. "Where do they all come from!" At the beginning of the semester The Ne braskan made an attempt to get students in terested in reporting. A number turned out the first day, a feAv stuck around for a Aveek or tATo, but in the main the Nebraskan has had to depend on paid staff members, along Avith five or six faithful reporters, for its news. There have been a few Avho have appeared at the of fice at rare intervals, asking if there Avas any thing to write up but scarcely ever have they found any news on their oAvn hook. The same situation has prevailed on the business staff. - Most of the "Miifaithful" will be left out iheu appointments are made. This is it should te. A real student newspaper cannot te ex- tt ell, W ell! It is Ihe great band of "C" students avIio run tlie pimnlrv. This nninioll. commonly ex pressed by college professors and students, has recently been ehumpioneil by a mcuny mem ber from the university ol Washington, me results of a survey conducted there reveal that man v "A" students are regarded as freaks, and as lacking in personality. 1 his is not surprising, nor should it be aiarm inu' riKlci-rrrjirlnntes avIio aim and strive for the highest grades are often those interested in learning for its OAvn sake. They find the pursuit of knoAvledgc o absorbing that 1hey concentrate their efforts and time in their studies and discussions. Afler graduation, these people conlinuo in the ranks ot education, nn.l nrp W interested in -problems of social, political or economic interest, excepting for study. Mflnv "C" students, on the other hand, are rif nrmn 1 uhilitv but. are doers ralher than re flectors. They direct their energies into extra curricular activities, gaining satisfaction irom management of concret" organizations. After graduation, it is only a step for them to be come occupied with corresponding types of ac tivity in the outside Arona. iney uccome xnc busiest men, executives, planners. Their ex perience has helped them to get along success fully with other people and get from them what they Avant. We do not by this imply any disparage ments of the first type of individual. Both groups are essential to a Avell-balanced society and Avithout each other .either would be in effectual. The important thing for each in dividual is to determine which type he is, and then engage himself along the lines to Avhich he is most suited, meanwhile ho adjust ing himself that he is not Avarned by his own particular interests into becoming "lop-sided."
