Now the underclassmen will have a
chance to show their "University
Hplrlt." Tho Junior-sophomore debate
comes off Saturday nighty Tills Is an
affair which vitally concornBone-half
the student body and Is of-considerable
Importance to tho rest. Enthusiasm
and support In this event will be
shown, however, chlofly by tho size of
tho crowd in attendance. How well
tho classmen support tholr teams will
bo Indicated by what percentage of tho
crowd Is made up of sophomores and
freshmen. It is time to act. Discon
nect with ten cents, and bo loyal to
your class debaters. When the junior
basket-ball team appeared on the floor
Saturday night and looked tho audi
ence over, every man on tho team
asked, "Whore are tho juniors?" Some
six or eight familiar faces were recog
nized scattered about among the crowd,
but tho hoped for rooters' Bquad was
a minus quantity. Tho team received
but llttlo support throughout tho game,
whllo disheartening cheers for their
opponents rang In. their ears at fre
quent Intervals. Of course It is nat
ural for the crowd to support the los
ing team, but it seems as though the
upper classmen might have done more
for tholr own players. They will have
an opportunity to redeem themselves,
however, at tho championship game,
and it is hoped they will avail them
selves of it.

This week will end without any class
basket-ball games being played. This
Is regretted by all concerned. So long
a gap of tlmo between games has a
tondoncy to cause interest over these
class contests to wane. It Is announced
that tho senior-freshman game had to
be postponed on account of the failure
of tho freshman manager to comply
with tho class athletic rules and bud
mlt the names of his men In time.
This 1b very unfortunate, as tho basket
ball season is nearly over and these
class contests ought to be pulled off
at onco. Nevertheless, It was better
to postpone the game and live up to
the rules than to violate them, in which
latter event the losing team could
glalm tho game.
OO
Tho sophomores aro to be commend
ed fot tho support which they gave
tholr basket-ball team Saturday night
The majority of the crowd was second
year men and every man on the soph
team got his merited Individual praise,
as did the team as a whole. At times
the yelling was deafening and would
continue for two or three minutes at a
time. There is ono suggestion to be
made, however, and that is that these
rooters effect a more perfect organiza
tion. Much more could be accom
plished If they would give certain yells
In unison than when everybody yells
anything at any and all times.
Tho Nebraskan feels quite compli
mented by the number of copies of each
day's Issue that aro now disappearing
before they reach tho subscribers'
hands. Wo aro glad to have the paper
read, oven If you don't feel like pay
ing for it. But pleaso tak'o tho same
party's paper each day, and then he'll
get in the habit of calling at the office
for it. You, Individually, can do at
least that much to accommodate us.

Yesterday's Exercises:
Dr. McAllister of Pittsburg spoke
in chapel yesterday morning on "Chris
tian Culture." Tho speaker dealt ex
pressly with tho broader purpose of a
college education and expressed the
hope that the studontB in the Univer
sity of Nebraska do not come here to
cram and anBwer questions in a
mechanical manner. There-Is some
thing within us to be trained our
souls and personalities of more Im
portance than anything else. Univer
sity training is for tho purpose of de
veloping our personalities and fitting
us for the statoduties and responsibili
ties of after life. There is a personal
ity in our consciousness we are Im
mortal and delated to God, being
created In His Image. We should be so
trained in our responsibilities that we
may develop In tho moral likeness of
Christ Wherever we may be in affer
life the highest development is essen
tial to our welfare and wo should be
fitted for the struggle against evil.
Uni Students Worked Too Hard?
(Continued from page 1.)
his professors and got through In a
creditable way. He lives in greater
luxury, many times, than our governor,
spending $1,000 on his room alone.
There are too many things to detract
the attention of tno eastern student
from his work. Tho youth attends
school there In order to spend time
and money and nave a good time, while
here we attend tho University for what
we can get out of a course of study.
Wo are not rich, and so our future Ib
not already assured; we must make it
ourselves."
One of the professors who has
studied In several eastern Institutions
thought that "There Is not much dif
ference between tho work dono here
and that accomplished there. The dif
ference rather lies In the time limita
tion that our University places upon
the student for getting out his lesson.
I have nothing but contempt," he de
clared, "for the plan of requiring two
hours on each lesson. It Is not pedagogical-
and tends toward the mechan
ical. A professor who cannot create
Interest enough to Impel the student
on without Buch a requirement de
sorves no place. In the faculty. The
student who has to make up a time
card and hand it in at each lecturo will
not work faithfully and intensively.
He puts in his time at studying, dream
ing, talking. There Is aclass of stu
dents who will not work, and U Ib un
just to make those who do study waste
their time because of those who are de
termined to bejdle. If they will not
work, let them go. I am satisfied when
I find a half-dozen In my class who are
diligent and really studious. Eastern
colleges make no such time require
ment and their student seem tu roako
as great, perhaps greater, progress.
To bo sure, they aro moro mature.
They aro born an 1 raised in an atrno
tphero of culture. Our btvidiMits, how
ever, are better material and promise
more, because they come from tho
farm."
Doom University Life Suffer from "Dig
ging"? On this point there Is not so much
to be said. The general opinion seems
tj be that there Is tueh a wide differ
ence in students thut a general state
ment would not cover all conditions.
It was the opinion of one that "those
who apply themselves too closely to
books lose the experiences that de
velop the pra.t'cal side of character,
while those who pay more attention to
social Junctions do, not get the rigor
ous training that makes a strong in
tellect and enables one to see clearly
the relations between cause and ef
fect" None were in favor of tho grinding
process, for it leads to unsociability
and does not quicken the perceptions
of tho student The youth who grinds
for the sake of marks and student
honors, who has no further aim,
wastes his time. He must have
"hitched his wagon to a star" and then
bis weary hours of toil will ultimately
bring him to success.
Is After-School Llfo Injured?
When interviewed on this point, ono
professor said: "I would divide stu
dents into three classes those who
confine themselves to books, those who
do not work much, and a larger class
who study but never systematize their
work. The first class will have the
greatest readjustment to make when
they get out Into actual life work, but
they will make tho beBt men and
women In technical work and will fill
tho most responsible positions; those
of the second class will probably be
good at getting on in tho world, but
they, In spite of the fact that their
tlmo is here taken up in social mat
ters, will not understand human na
ture much better, for student life and
life outside tho University aro so dif
ferent" Another thought that "Knowledge
from books is of little or no practical
value; the student should not seek
knowledge for Its own sake, but try
to get the broad view that is essential
to the successful man of the world.
Tho grind cannot succeed until ho has
worn off customs formed In the Uni
versity, and has becdmo acquainted
with his fellows and affairs of comnlon
life"
Slionld n New Standard bo Railed?
As to whether or riot a new-standard
should bo established In tho Uni
versity, It was the common opinion
that there should be. Ono professor
would "separate more completely tho
graduate from the undergraduate work.
As it is, there Is no difference; tho
graduate school is a continuation of
the undergraduate course. When the
student has attained to a certain stage
of maturity, he should be allowed to
carry on his investigations Independ
ently, and not bo held down to system.
Then, too, tho laBt year Of the college
course should bo conducted on tho
graduate school plan. It should be a
grand summing up of the whole, a sys
tematizing, a rounding out of the stu
dents entire work."
Another said, "The standard ought
to bo raised, but this cannot bo done
until entrance, requirements aro also
raised and this cannot bo easily dono
until our secondary schools have be
come more efficient"
It was the opinion of a third that,
"Tho standard should be raised so as
to make those who have ability bring
out the best there is in them. Some .
concessions could bo made to those
who could not come up to a standar-I
of, say, eighty or eighty-five. In P. B.
K. elections It is noticeable that the
girls usually carry off the honors. This
Is no doubt because our best boy stu
dents have other Interests, ,such as
debating, that take their attention from
books. A higher standard might make
some difference In this matter."
