Straight from the Mighty Bow this
truth is driven:
"They fail, and they alone, who have
not striven."
Fly far, 0 shaft of light, all doubt re
deeming, Rouse men from dull despair and idle
dreaming:
High Heaven's Evangel be, gospel God
given,
They fail, and they alone, who have
not striven.

Dr. Fling's convocation address was

Getting acquainted is one of the im
portant branches of University life.
But, however necessary it is to know
people, it is more important to be
worth knowing.
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
Lovers of music are to be congratu
lated. Professor Dann and Mrs. Ray
mond have been persuaded to organ
ize a class for the critical, but in
formal, study of the symphonies
which will be presented once a month
at convocation. All students and
members of the faculty interested
have been invited to attend. If Ne
braskans appreciate cultural study as
they should, the class will be a large
one.
NEW FIELD FOR THE UNIVERSITY
It is only a matter of time until
the city manager plan, as operated in
Dayton, Ohio, will take the place of
the commission form of government
for cities. Under this system provi
sion is made for an elected board of
commissioners, the members of which
draw no pay, and whose only business
is to select a city manager and de
termine in a broad way the policies to
be followed. The city manager has
complete charge of the administrative
work of the government
The future work of the University,
then, is to train men in -the govern
ment of cities. Provision must be
made in the curriculum for training
men to govern cities as men now are
fitted to teach high schools, practice
law, and build bridges. In the selec
tion of city managers the teBt will be
efficiency, not vote-getting capacity.
As in Germany, city government will
become a profession. It is true that
municipal administration now Is a
business in some cities. By trained
men responsible to the people? No;
rather tobacco-chewing, hand-shaking,
professional politicians. Clean, effi
cient government will only come
when trained, non-political, far-seeing
men are placed at the helm.
"THE FORUM
To the Editor:
Social life at the University of Ne
braska is a melting pot for ideas cher
ished by students through long years
of previous training and experience.
The greater percentage of the stu
dents emerge from the melting pot
with ideals intact, purposes lofty and
with helpful experience added to their
equipment for the battle of life. Some
of them, as in every similar change
of environment, acquire harmful
ideals, unworthy purposes and expert
ence which will not be helpful.
Observers of social life at the Uni
versity may wish that certain changes
might be evolved more quickly, hut
agree that in general the social at
mosphere is wholesome and tends
toward high standards of thought and
conduct. Most of the fraternities of
the University rigidly enforce rules
against playing cards for even small
amounts of money. Beer is theoretic
ally barred from all and practically
barred from most fraternity houses.
Though fraternities rank lower in
scholarship than many non-fraternity
students, earnest efforts are being
made by the Greek letter organiza
tions to bring up the standards of
scholarship.
Aside from the main aspects of Uni
ersity social life, many incidental
iewpoints vand beliefs are either
weakened or strengthened by experi
ence in the college circles. For in-
tance, a readjustment is sometimes
made in ideas in regard to smoking.
Girls who have never allowed a youth
to smoke when within fifty yards or
more from them are faced with a ,
m in their early days of college
life. When a young man takes the ;
girl in question to a party she is (
hocked when he produces a cigar or .
cigarette and asks, as a matter of !
form, if he may smoke. If, as is
sometimes the case, she adheres to J
her previous standards rigidly andjst WIchtigste Geschaeftel!
says,
No, uncompromisingly, she is
pt to see a young man's face express
emotions of shock, surprise, incredul
ity, and if he chances to be a very
transparent and ill-bred young man,
indignation. At this critical moment
some girls rapidly shift previous
ideas in regard to the matter of smok
ing. Others don't, but that Is another
story.
Some girls who have violent preju
dices against borrowing or lending
hats, gloves, slippers, cloaks or other
articles of apparel, find that lending
and borrowing these articles is not
unknown in some sororities and" other
co-ed circles. A speedy readjustment
sometimes occurs. Sometimes it does
not, but that also is another story.
Some youths who have never
smoked find that they are almost, if
not quite, alone in their fraternity or
boarding house in this particular vir
tue. Sometimes they speedily begin
to court Lady Nicotine, and thereby
hang various tales of some merit as
comedy mingled with tragedy. Some
times they make no effort to join the
pipe brigade, which fact arouses little
comment, much less, in fact, than is
aroused by the lad who bravely
tickles the unaccustomed weed.
