LIFE, HOW WILL YOU HAVE IT?
Long and loud lias been the cry of the de
plorable educational svslcm which could never
keep ahreast of the times. l?ut seldom does
Anyone hear the condemnations of a complex,
enslaving economic society in which education
is far ahead of life itself. Yet that is the sad
light, which a little reflection throws upon the
V'orhl of the college-lired today.
Our institutions of higher learning are
no longer merely institutions for the dis
semination of factual knowledge. Educators
have discovered a broader program designed
to develop the student as a social being. Our
world of providing a living and making a
home, however, has widened the abyss be
tween itself and the free life of the imagina
tion almost beyond the possibility of union.
Those out of school soon learn that special
ization is the path to success, that the main
thing is to get a specialty as soon as possible.
Their knowledge of the arts, their love of cul
ture is soon pushed aside in this acquisition
of new abilities and in the settling down to a
routine life. For it is certainly a routine life
to which those who prepare for a domestic ex
istence adhere, working and waiting for attai
nments or nothing. Others resolve simply to
take life as it is and get the best out of it,
working hard and promising themselves a life
of their own later. Few, however, reach that
position financially which would enable thern
to retire. Even less, when they have reached
it, find they can retire. They discover to their
dismay, that the interests they nurtured so
tenderly have grown dim, that it is impossible
to pick up the loose ends dropped so many
years before.
Then, afraid of free time, afraid of them
selves, they go on working and earning money
till death solves all. Yet these people are con
tent. They love their work and find little ab
sent from their mode of life.
A gTeat many people in routine life, how
ever, are not content. They have been swept
into the current of specialization and altho
in varying degrees of conformity with it,
hate the order and long for extrication from
it. Here lies the tinder for igniting another
horrible war. These people, daily following
the same drab existence, would readily join
an army to safeguard an idealism for the
sake of a change. Just as strongly does the
hunger for relief from routine drive these
people as does the hunger for food drive the
starving. In this group must we watch as
closely to stomp out the inbreeding of Eu
rope's "isms" as in the foreign elements
themselves.
Only in the third and smallest group of our
chaotic society are the people masters over
routine. They realize that work has to be
done, not for the purpose of work, but for the
purpose of something else. To them routine
work is necessary for upholding life, but it has
to be kept subordinate to more important
things. They develop themselves, they fight,
they work in the playlike manner for the pur
pose of some distant day when, perhaps, they
will add their small offering lo their real life,
to art.
Never lias the world been so harsh as now
on those who would keep their youthful
dreams. Yet more than any of their contem
poraries in other groups, the few who will suc
ceed will do so with n work far more lasting,
far more valuable to those of the vast to
morrow. With the Forty-niner was born "rugged
individualism." He and his kind stood for
all the freedoms, all the courage, all the
stamina for which Americans have held their
heads high. Where do you find his counter
part today?

There has been much quarreling of late in the Pitt athletic de

Bowl game and criticism of his policies by dentist-coach Sutherland
The "Hagan plan" for the purification of Pitt athletics, introduced in
1937, has caused still more strife within the department Several
months ago, freshman footballers at Pitt went on strike, claiming
that they had not received the funds promised them in athletic
scholarships which had induced them to come to the school. Suther
land's resignation follows that of four of his former assistants in the
past five months.

to them in his coaching career. Nebraskans wish the dentist-coach

to a coach who knew no peer save the great Knute Rockne in modern
football, and they sigh with relief at the knowledge that Nebraska's
greatest nemesis has left the school which trimmed the Scarlet and
Cream with regularity.

121 tornadoes
hit Nebraska
since 1916
Studies of Hoyt Lemons, Ne
braska alumnus, published in a
bulletin of the United States" de
partment of agriculture, show a
total of 121 tornadoes in the state
in the period of 1916-1938.
This study made while Lemons
was working on "his master's' de
gree at this institution last .year,
records not only the distribution
of the disturbances over the state
but the annual, seasonal and hour
ly variations as well. Most of the
storms came jn the late afternoon
in the months of the early
summer. ,
Examination was made of, ,all
the daily weather maps for . the
22 year period in finding distribu
tion and types of storms exhibited.
Results showed over 50 percent of
Nebraska tornadoes come from a
north easterly direction and show
greatest prominence in the south
and east portions of the state.
Chances of injury or death, the
report showed to be very small.
With an average annual number
of deaths during this period from
storms ranging at 1.5, the possi
bility of being killed is about 1 in
a million.
Riflemen set
record score
Fred Bodie totals 382
of possible 400 points
Shooting a total of 3,715 points
out of a possible 4,000, ten men

marked up the highest score ever
made in the history of the team.
Winning five out of six postal
matches entered last week, mem
bers of the team shot scores rang
ing from Fred Bodie's total of 382
points out of a possible 400 down
ward. High scorers this week in
three matches, the results of which
are not yet known, were George
Galloway and Eugene Jorgcnscn,
both with scores of 374.
Matches on the docket for the
next few weeks include shoulder-to-shoulder
matches at Fort Crook, -JJP
March 11, South Dakota here
March 17, and Fort Crook at Fort
