V Tu li EBRA JU1 - Sarah i M Louise : Meyer Golden Uule It, Von Upnerclassmcii. With so many charming excur sions along1 the byways of the primrose path revealing- them selves to susceptible neophytes, it's just as well that some old hand stick in a plug: for the rockier straight and narrow. Sophomores already are feeling, called upon to educate the youngsters of the year, to display their own newly won service stripes. Juniors take care to drop casual hints of the vast worldlincss mantling their shoul ders. Seniors, soured and cynical, are full of "Nichcvo's" for the morrow. But I'm telling you mugs to lay oif. In the first place, pnmrosing has hundreds of connotations to freshmen long forgotten to up per classmen. Most first year students feel a definite struggle with their consciences when they skip their first class, take their first quiz unprepared, bull their first lab instructor, doublerross their first double date, get their first down slip, wreck their first fraternity brother's car, neglect to purchase their first text, coke away their first morning. Cal lous upper classers have all too soon accepted such deviations from principles as natural and smart. Save Non-Sinners. The young souls vc are cam- signing 10 save irom acme col- legeiatitis are not those belonging to the boyish faced minors with a im.K me Dcninu mem. rsior yci, even to the undetermined fence straddlers who arc without, either the courage for sin, or the stamina vw inc. wc JUKI wane in Kern nr. 4 . he world firm under the feet of the kids wiio by background and conviction have ideals. There s nothing on earth more vulnerable to attack from every conceivable vantage point than a belief. It's something you feel, don't reason. What makes things 1 absolutely right or absolutely . wrong to high schoolers comprises ; strong feeling but little logic. So , when some enlightening realist ! lays a childhood faith barefaced ; with a demand for whys am j wherefores, he's hitting an almost indefensible section of youth's anatomy. Which is sporting enough, I guess; some guys bash up little babies, too. Easy on the Educating. No one wants to artificially re tain a college age, almost adult, young person's morality at child hood s blind believing stage. Stag- j nation at that point is nearly as j fatal to emotional maturity as a sharp swing to belieflessness. But ' kkis can oe neipea to grow into i mcir roie oi grownups ny simply ; letting nature take its course.; Education in the more or less lib- j eral extracurricular arts takes more easilv when it is forced down I sensitive throats piping hot Windpipe scarers often appear in the guise of more or less well meaning fraternity brothers, or helping hand sorority sisters. Some of the boys may decide that a pledge is too green on the oldest question in the world,, and take it upon themselves to educate him in commercialized fashion. Or some of the girls may come to the conclusion that a new sister is not suffiicently smooth, and undertake to make her over. Net result, in cither case, may be a permanent and unhealthful complex. And a jaded, bitter outlook. So go easy, you reformers. Whatever your intentions, hesitate before you play God to a trusting froshie. Remember the days of your own youth and try a little golden rule stuff. Do not to others as ye were done urito. U 'UAL LL ' A UlIlH II II I I 111 H III .E.

Reason for the postpone ment was given as an effort to co operate with city officials In com batting the spread of poliomyelitis. The decision was reached upon the advice of Dr. E. T.

Sixty-five prospective reporters appeared at the Daily Nebraskan office yesterday afternoon to hear their first instructions on news getting from the managing editors, Willard Burney and Helen Pascoe. A larger number of new re porters than has attended the ini tial meetings in previous years found the rag office too crowded for their group, and made it neces sary for them to be ushered up stairs in the building to a large classroom. For practice in taking down news stories and writing them, the reporters were given practice stories and these were later cor rected for them by the managing and news editors and suggestions made. Those who showed thc most ability were given stories to write for the Nebraskan since the large number of reporters present made it impossible for all to have a try. Reporters were asked to leave their names, what experience on school, weekly or daily papers they had had, and the type of writing which they preferred. Reporters may come to the office for assign ments this week and try out the different types of news. Tempo rary beats will be assigned follow ing another meeting next Saturday afternoon.

A modern Utopia, a garden of Eden -such, in the opinion of Dr. Willem Van Royen of the geogra phy department, would be the av erage American home owner's de scription of the Dominican re public. Dr. Van Royen has just returned from a summer of ob servation there in time to meet his first day's classes. This republic, which Is h part of the West Indies group of is lands, is located between Cuba and Porto Rico. In the first, place there are no real estate taxes to bother the wage earner, he said. A living comes cheap and easy, what with all the natural abun dance of fruits and a standard of living which makes family upkeep a comparatively minor problem. As a matter of fact boys do not wear any clothing until they are about 6 years old and girls until they are 3. Climate Fine.

The 1 'niversit y e.f Nebraska sponsors and cneoiira'jes a church program to make tip this deficit with more vior than most schools. Our survey seems in show that, the pro" nun is failing. The remedy suggested by the noted educator in Liberty is that of more emphasis upon ethics in ihe college curriculum, lie says in part : "I Have spoken of religious services and sports because ihe American eolleye has relied on ihem as yood in fluences for character and morals. But why hasn't 1 he "curricu lum attended adequately to character training;:' Especially in modern times, when such subjects have become popular as so ciology, economies, polities, with attention to labor problems, working- hours, living- conditions.' Why shouldn't such courses be the natural opportunities for training the young to feel and think ethically ?" llo laments the fact that the moral considerations in these subjects have been pared to the bone to make pure sciences. He notes lhat even the purest of the pure sciences rest upon ethics. His conclusion is that education without attention to character is a folly and a racket. RamSaV SCCS POSSiblC DdaV .
