It is not enough that you have perhaps spent time and energy in worthy outside activity. For these things of the student's material world grades and achievements in activities tade and are soon outmoded. But the additions to your personality which come with rec ognition of new concepts, the new ideas growing from your experiences these are the things of worth. Look back again over your achievements in this light, and be ashamed that you have net better taken advantage of your intellectual oppott unities. Be ashamed, but be consoled, there is yet time, in the part of the school year still to come, lor you to better your intellectual achievements. lew A Stitch In Time. 4 REVIEW of the activities during the past weeks indicates that the hubub of this year on the Nebraska campus is well nigh complete. With the football season gone for another year, the for mal season officially inaugurated, and numerous other student enterprises winding up their business before the Christmas holidays, the buzz of student activity is definitely submerged. It is a time of general Inactivity, and as such, a time when reflection is not out of place. The se mester is in its dying stages, and what have you, a university student, accomplished in that time? How much have you learned about the way you and your fellow human beings act? How much have you added to your experience? Have you formed new philosophical conceptions? If you have done any of these things, your time has not been wasted. If you have even once expe rienced the glimmerings of great things, the time has been well spent For it is not enough that you have done your A Xecessary Pause. rjpHE year grows old and as its death approaches, the annual pause or hibernation of student activities makes itself definitely felt in the Nebras kan office. Unpleasantness of the cold weather may have something to do with it, but even without ad verse weather conditions, It Is characteristic of the activities cycle that the lowest point is reached in December and January. Extensive search is not necessary to determine the cause, however, for now is the time when long neglected scholastic work of the activities man or woman is receiving considerable needed attention. It is worthy of merit that class work is being taken care of but it seems a pity that students can not work out a schedule of scholastic and extra curricular activity which will provide for the two as supplementary. Under the usual undergraduate arrangement, however, there is a decided tendency for conflict between study and extra-curricular en deavor, with the result that both suffer periodically Attempts are made, of necessity, to control this lamentable tendency, but as yet no way of educat ing the student to maintain a balanced program has yet been devised. Experience teaches the need for that balance, but in many cases the experience is won painfully. Efforts have been made in this direction. El forts will undoubtedly continue to be made to solve the maladjustment, and some day a solution may be discovered. Meanwhile the Nebraskan again voices a lament. For the year grows old, and the campus activities which make news and editorials, are at a premium. Contemporary Comment Fighting and rioting by students of Lafayette college and Lehigh university students this week had resulted in the suspension of fifty six of the latter, pending an in vestigation. Rivalry in connection with a football game between the two institutions resulted in the rioting, it was reported. eir Set of Farmers. Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! More than 600.000 farm youths who have reached that "on their own" stag are starting out on American farms this year. They are marrying, setting up house holds, starting families and begin ning to establish themselves as adults. They are one form of farm crop that cannot be ploid under, Normally, non-farm life would take in one-third of this group, but the cities cannot absorb the "surplus," they have problems in the absoibing of their own youth. Will these 600,000 make a go of it? You bet they will! They are young and ambitious, they won't have family burdens or overhead epensexs, and they will undoubtedly profit from the mistakes that have been made by the farmers in the past ten years. It will make life harder for the older farmers, but the youngesters who know what they are about will get along In farming better than their fathers did twenty or thirty years ago. This youngest generation of farmers has the technological and scientific knowledge and equip ment for successful farming. California Daily Bruin. Sensationalism. The following was picked up from the McGill Daily, Canada's best college daily: "We are living in an area of sen sationalism when our attention is daily being drawn to details of sorid crime:: and nausating mer cenaryism; the daily newspapers are succombing more and more to this seemingly modern evil. The penny horrible of a few decades ago has given place to a more in sidious and more tar reaching in fluence, the yellow tabloids. "Hand in hand with these gos pels of the times go the movies with the eulogization of all that is undesirable in society; the modern gangster; the false presentation of college life with all the rah! rah!' element so false to the real aims and purposes of modern educa tion. "But what is more relevant and IDE 3DL: 3G3! DDL: 1U Christmas is Coming O And now that Christmas will soon be here, you will naturally be looking for presents.

"We find an Increasing tendency on the part of college students in this direction; a small minority as yet, who distort the whole picture, and the inevitable result is scath ing criticism of the 'college stu dent;' seldom do we find any critic broad-minded enough to overlook the exception, but must immedi ately judge the whole by the part. "This, alone, should suffice to force home the realization to ns that the college student is still 'copy' for the undisirable publicity and will be used as such whenever occasion arises. All that college life has long since left behind as more rational centers is still used in this campaign toward sensa tionalism. "College students as a unit should blackball all newspapers and films of the type that go out of their way to present a distorted picture of college life. This at titude if adopted would do much to curb this growing tendency to reinstate college life, in general, in the high standing it deserves in the community. Daily Texan. Friendship Defined. Appreciation of the other fel low's gods is a gift that all of us should acquire, if we don't already have it. For Instance, in every group dorm, fraternity, or boarding house there is at least one person who can never find a complimentary word to say about what his as sociates buy or with whom they associate. This "knocker" finds flaws with his. roommate's new suit or hat; he says that his roommate's choice of shows is lousy; he critices the other fellow's choice of dates. If he visits a friend's fraternity and sees its"den," he can't under stand why "it has so much 'tripe' hanging on the walls." Some day this person is going to get wise to himself. He's go ing to understand why his friends never have anything to say when : he displays a new suit; when he! wins an "I," when he makes the i all-B scholastic list. One doesn't need to be insincere about this friend's gods. But a simple "That's nice" is appreciat ed. Try it! Iowa State Student Ag College By Carlle Hodgkin AG VESPE5.S. Every Tu ;day nocn they meet at the home economics parlors for a short program. This Tuesday, according to Genevieve Jeffries. Ag Y. v. C. A. chairman, the pro gram will be a discussion of Alaska. Miss M. A. Park, home economics cafeteria manager, has spent three years or more in vari ous parts ot Alaska. She will dis cuss that country and her experi ences there for the girls Tuesday noon. FRUIT CAKES. One of the winter sports among members of the home economics association is fruit-cake baking. They bake them by the dozens, store them away a while and then sell them to Christmas shoppers. In charge of the committee of home economics cake-bakers this winter are Helen Smrah and Gene vieve Jeffries. These girls sav business is good. Among the mot frequent buyers, they say, are girls who think a fruit cake Is just the thing for mother's Christmas or perhaps for the whole family. The boys like to buy fruit cakes to take home for Christmas, too. The girls say they will be in the cake merchandising business until Christmas. ALL EYES OPEN. C. W. A. funds seem still to oe available, for Monday morning a gang of workmen started tearing out the old street car track on Holdrege street between 27th and 33rd. With the street torn up. workmen all along the way, and driving made difficult, the possi bility of accidents will be greatly increased. More Az college people faculty and students drive on Holdrege street than on any other one street in the city. With the possibility of accidents increased and with a large number of Ag people driving on that street, the possibility for accidents envoi ving Ag people be come an Important matter. SEEMS TO BE HERE. It looks like old man winter has finally decided to pay us a call. Students standing around on street corners waiting for the bus are all humped up with the cold. The thermometer is dropping down to where students think of skating, sleighing, and Christmas dinners. Certain no one can kick about a weather man that has sent us pleasant weather all fall a string of good football days and a host of bright warm Sundays and now, just when we want snow and cold weather for Christmas, gives us that. If we can have cold weather and snow until after Christmas va cation, think of the skating par ties, sleighing parties, coyote bunts, and what not that will add to the fun! But no one can tell about the weather. It may be too warm for an overcoat again in two days. Yearbook Payments.
