The Poor "
Athlete.
plTY the poor would-be college athlete. Ills brain
la probably in a whirl as he surveys the nation's
football camp and tries to decide to which school
he will offer his sterling services. In view of the
conflicting attitudes taken by different sections cf
the country on subsidization of athletes, the poor
fellow doesn't know just what the score is.
The west coast conferences come out with a
declaration against subsidization of athletes; the
east seems to be somewhat in favor of it and Jock
Sutherland makes a flat statement defending the
practice; other schools are non-committal. Now the
latest move in this game of "Who gets the athlete?"
is made by the University of Michigan.
The interfraternity council at that school re
cently suggested to its member fraternities that
each hold at least one board job open In the bouse
to accommodate an athlete, preferably a freshman.
This is In effect just a polite way of saying that the
school Is in the market for good gridiron material.
The only unfair aspect of this act Is the fact
that it may burden the fraternities which already
are having a hard time In their struggle with Old
Man Economy. Of course, maybe the houses are
glad to be assigned an athlete, since a letter man in
the chapter is always a good rushing point
What puzzles one about the whole business is
the seriousness with which charges and denials of
subsidization and payment of athletes are made.
Nominally, of course, university football athletes are
supposed to be slmon pure amateurs, implying that
they receive no financial help, directly or indirectly,
tor their services to the school In an athletic way.
Considering this, then. It may be supposed that a
charge of paying an athlete Is serious.
Included, however, in the simon pure list are
the golfers, the tennis sharks, the swimmers, and all
the others who supposedly receive no pay for their
exhibitions of skill. They are, however, rewarded
with soft jobs, traveling expenses, and other items
that go to make up a nice compensation for the
time and energy expended.
It seems, then, that all this agitation about
professionauzation of college sports is a oit ridicu
lous. Great athletes undoubtedly render service to
the school for which they play and in return receive
little enough. Why should the schools assume a
sanctimonious attitude and fool themselves into
thinking that amateurs are really simon pure?
Determination and
Self Confidence.
CENIORS at Purdue university were iecectly told
that determination and self confidence were two
of the most important qualifications for the job
hunting college graduate. These words, coming
after four discouraging years, probably fell to a
great extent on rocky ground.
There are a few old timers who can remember
far enough in the past to tell of the time when all
that a college graduate had to do in order to get a
position was to flash bis diploma under the nose of
the prospective employer. These old timers, bow
ever, are few and their memories of that beydey
have been obscured by the passage of time.
Determination is rather a difficult quality to
grasp. It is even more difficult to maintain that
grasp in the face of almost overwhelming odds. And
as application after application is met with "noth
ing right now" the fire of determination is slowly
but surely quenched.
Self confidence, necessary in order to sell one's
elf to the business world, is equally difficult to re
tain. As the student gos through school and wit
nesses preceding classes graduate and fail in at
tempts to gain positions, be begins to wonder if
after all. there is any point to his continuing the
struggle. Self confidence flies out the window as
fear and finally lethargy come in the front door.
And yet, as the Purdue speaker stated, this
year's senior must not let these discouraging factors
get the better of him. He must keep up his courage
and confidence despite all tendencies to mutter,
"What's the use?" There are few jobs open and
they will go to the men and women who can prove
to the employer that their spirits have not been
broken by adverse circumstances.
Soil and Water
Conservation.
rpHK clouds of dust which blanketed the city Wed-
nesday and kept everyone gritting their teeth
is another forceful reminder to the state that some
thing must be done, and done soon, about soil and
water conservation.
Tons of valuable top soil have been carried off
by the vagaries of the wind during the past few
weeks. Winter crops have literally been blown out
of the ground. Last summer's drouth proved that
Nebraska's water supply as now provided for, or
rather, not provided for, is inadequate to take care
of demands in time of an emergency.
Much research and work along the line of com
batting these fits of temperament by the weather
have been carried on lately by the university de
partment of conservation and survey. Other work
has beer done under federal projects.
It Is vitally important for all Nebraskans, stu
dents as well as those who are In the thick of the
battle, to realize what Is happening to their fertile
acres. The ravages of Mother Nature must ba
checked. Those now In school might well devote
much thought to this problem that will confront
them as they leave college and go back, to their
homes.

Enthusiastic.
TO THE EDITOR:
VT'HEN I first read In the Daily Nebraskan that a
movement had been started for organization
of the senior class I, probably like many others,
laughed a few choice laughs. As the committee ap
pointed to take charge of the work progresses with
its plans, however, I am becoming an enthusiastic
backer of the movement
The committee, contrary to the usual custom on
the Nebraska campus, has really settled down to
work and seems to be evolving something definite
to offer the senior class. According to stories in
the Daily Nebraskan, the first step in the organiza
tion work is the informal dance which is to be held
Friday. What plans for the future are I do not
know, but if the committee continues on its present
road, it should work out something effective.
From what I have been able to pick up around
the campus, the class as a whole seems to be getting
behind the program. The chief point of apprehen
sion at the present time seems to be the asinine con
tention that a "tea dance" is sort of a sissy affair
and consequently many are doubtful about at
tending. This sort of view disgusts me. Just because
tuch an affair is rather new on the campus, there
is no reason to be afraid of it before it is tried out
I attended the recent tea dance held by the Sponsors
club for advanced R. O. T. C students and it was
one of the best Informal parties held this year.
If the senior class will only realize that the
committee is honestly attempting to help the school,
I believe they will fall behind the program 100 per
cent At least, they should. A SENIOR.

Grasshoppers.

TO THE EDITOR:
WRITE this as a plea to self respect It is sup-
I
posed to be in defense of Nebraska coeds. Usually
these said coeds would rate pretty high in a beauty
market, but let us observe them running about the
campus during gym classes. They very closely re
semble unlovely grasshoppers.
During the Victorian era I Imagine the green
clad maidens would have been very stylish. Evi
dently university officials are not wre that this
is not the Victorian era.
But even the offending rompers are not. enough.
For outdoor spoils the poor girls mut add a skirt
to further entangle them in their athletic endeavors.
And to top it-all off. they must wear full length
stockings. Evidently bare legs are still in the un
mentionable category. Why don't our basketball
players over at the coliseum wear boots and
breeches and be done with it?
Once I tried to get around the reg-ulationa. I
said I didn't have any stockings. Then I said 1 had
no money to buy them. But I bought some. I need
ed physical education credit
Finally, are Nebraska coeds going to continue
to be grasshoppers forever? P. E.
