Thanksgiving day. as true today as history has proven H to be of the Greeks that those only are deserving of the name of states man and law-given who guide therr policies not by the expediencies of the moment but by a conscious ideal of citizenship and humanity. The forma' tion of such an ideal is the best ser vice which education can render the state. UNI. NOTICES BECK RECOGNIZES NEBRASKA'S STANDING THE ELIGIBLE LIFE. by H. B. Alexander. There is a sentence of Aristotle's which might well serve as the motto of every political club in the land and every school which is training our youth for citizenship. "He who would duly enquire after the best form of the state ought first to determine which is the most eligible life," this is the sentence. He who would legis late for us, he who would cast his vote with intelligence, ought first to decide what should be the life of the ideal citizen of his country, this is what the sentence means. Hqw many of our voters and of our political aspirants and of our political office-holders could creditably answer such a question? How many of them could define for us the ideal American, not of today or of tomorrow, but of the unborn generations, and say that the choice or policy of today has been de termined by thought of this ideal citi zen and the hope to some day make him real? It is comparatively easy to answer a question of policy when the end has been pointed out to you; it is not so easy to determine for your self what the end of policies should be. Solon .one of the seven sages of Greece, when asked who was the hap piest of men, replied: "Tellus, the Athenian. For in the first place Tel lus lived in a well-governed state; he had sons who were virtuous and good, and he saw children born to them all, and all surviving. And in the next place, when he had lived as happily as human affairs will permit, he ended his life In a most glorious manner; for coming to the assistance of the Athenians in a battle with their neigh bors of Eleusis, he put the enemy to flight, and died nobly." To live simply in a well-governed state, to be the founder of a virtuous family in that state, and to die in its service, such should be the life of the ideal citizen as Solon, the legislator of the Athenians, conceived it For us or today this ideal is perhaps too meagre; modern life Is more complex than was that of the ancients. We should be Inclined to substitute civic for military service, and to require mental rich ness and variety along with virtue and happiness in the ideal life. But It is , Hat Stood up For Perm State All Year Is Forced to Admit at Last Nebraska Has Greatest. lAll through the fall Beck has been Indulging in long and hearty laughs at the expense of his associates, who sought but sought in vain to raise Ne braska's team to a higher standing than that of the Quaker state. "For," argued Beck, "did we not hold Har vard, just about the greatest school in the east, to a tie? I don't care if Nebraska did beat .Michigan. Watch what we do to them." A few weeks later the valiant Michi gan Aggies met the much vaunted Penn Staters. Sad and distressing was the news that came to Beck from the eastern field. The Aggies won, 6 to 3. For many weeks Beck has not men tioned "Penn State." But far be it from the others in the office to heap coals of fire on his head by overlook ing his jibes at their respective teams and the one of Nebraska. They have been using the Jewish rule, "Do unto others as others do unto you." "I am convinced now," said Beck, "that the Cornhuskers have the best football machine in the United States." When a man has attended every football game ever played by the col lege from which he has his degree, it Is inconsistent to suppose that he will do otherwise than yell himself hoarse for his Alma Mater when, as an alum nus, he follows the winnings of his college team. Nor has experience proven that circumstances alter the case when in "Rome" he does not do as "Romans" do. M V. Beck, member of the state soil survey department and general good fellow, is a graduate of the Penn State College. For the past two years he has been working under the direction of Dr. Condra with headquarters In Lincoln. Others in the survey office are, in the opinion of Beck, the vic tims of misfortune, for they have graduated from schools other than the "mighty. Invincible Penn State." Dr. Condra says that what Beck meant was the "mighty near' invincible Penn State." Cornhutker Pictures.

Movies of contest saturday taken Weather Conditions Were Bad Will - Be Displayed Over the State This Week. Motion pictures were taken of the most interesting features of Kansas Nebraska game by Dr. Condra. Plans were made for a complete reel, but the weather was so discouraging that only parts could be taken. Four out of the five touchdowns and all but one kick off were taken. These are very good considering the weather. They were finished yesterday afternoon and will be shown at Wayne, Fuller-tor and other places over the state tonight. These films will be incorporated with the rest of the University films. Some think that it would be very ap propriate to give some of the films at the next Cornhusker banquet. The Olympics would also be Interesting for such an occasion, for they are such things as the push ball, etc., that are entirely new to the alumni. Ted Marriner, Cleaner, Hatter. 235 North 11th.
