BOOSTER VS. KNOCKER
"Don't be a knocker, be a booster," is the expression Chanevl
lor Avery used yesterday morning, in talking to the men of the
Freshman class. Why shouldn't all of the students of the University
1 fi. nil Imo that fh hpst W3V to ETet alOU2 1U tlllS
world is to throw away the hammer and spend their spare time in
boosting? We have much to boost. Our football team is to be
winner and don't you listen to the fellow who trys to tell a hare
luck story.
"Be a booster but d5n't be an easy mark." Insist on what
right and what is fair. Don't allow the knocker or the pessimist to
sink the ship before it is hit. We can find enough trouble without
looking for it. Granted. Case is dismissed.

GRIND VS. SLUFFER
We agree with Athletic Manager Reed in his statement that the
students should abhor either the position held by the so called grind
or that held by the evident sluffer. The man who will get his work
and then take time for those things which are not found in books is
the man who is scheduled for a winning place in this world. The
man who has no time for anything except school work is the man
who eventually becomes the proverbial "dull boy." The man who
has no time for his schol work is also to be pitied and taught where
he is in error. But the man who is in the "happy medium" class
is the man the world wants and will have. Should we not then
urge the grind to go to the football games and influence the sluffer
io do something for his fellows by helping himself? Surely.
THAT FIRST RALLY
Good for you, we always thought you were not tlu- sort of
fellow who would miss the first big rally of the year. Of course
it will not be out' of the way for you to mention to your friends
again that the rally will be held tomorrow morning in the armorv,
BRASS TACKS
A rather sharp subject to be asked to talk upon, but Professor
Scott kept well to the point and had the Freshmen with him. They
swayed when he swayed and they gain.-d "pep" when he became
more enthusiastic; they broke forth in the old yell with him and
the Freshmen know him now as one of our real live Xebraskans. To
"in up the whole matter, Professor Scott is one of us and we all
like him for it.
THOSE CAPS
Freshmen, you are thought less of wtihout than with your green
caps on.
FORUM
To tbe Editor:
In the news coldmn of the Daily Xe
brackan Friday. September 24th, ap
peared the following sentence:
"Friends of the Y. M. C. A. candidates
take it that Ira Benyon of Wymore
311 te their farorite and he is fast
gettiEg his lieutenants about him."
Farther cn In the article this sen
tence was written: "Should these
two be the only candidates aliTe for
political faTors, the scrap will close
lr retolve ittelf into a barb-frat is
sue: Eenyon t. HaggarL"
These two sentences, although they
may have been written with a pure
motire. are vitally misleading; in two
ways, namely, because they malign
tbe Y. M. C. A. by leading students
to believe it is a political organiza
tion, and because they lead uninform
ed students to think tbe candidates
are depending on organizations and
machines for election and not their
own individual popularity and person
ality. The University Y. if. C. A.
is not a political machine and it never
has been. 3fr. Benyon is not even a
member of the Y. M. C. A. and be
never Las been an active member.
He owes nothing more to the Y. M.
C. A. than the reporter who wrote the
above quoted sentences, and it is In
the same relation to him as to otner
students. The reporter who wrote
this article was either ignorant of the
truth, or else he was trying to write
an editorial for personal satisfaction
in the news columns. I would suggest
that all such editorials should be pub
lished in the Forum over the slgna
ture of the writer.
Mr. Benyon declares that he is do
ing all in his power to prevent this
election from becoming a barb-frat is
sue. He does not want anyone to
vote for him merely because he is not
affiliated with a fraternity, and he
hopes that no student will vote against
him because he is what is generally
known as a "barb." University elec
tions should be won or lost on higher
principles than the organization to
which you are affiliated. Such elections
should be the test of popularity, per
sonality and character.
I have no other purpose in writing
this article than a belief in fair play.
If a reporter believes a thing and
has the facts to support his belief, it
should be published in the Forum
and he should receive due credit, but
theory has no. place in the news col
umn. GEO. I. CRAVEN.
There is one certain class here in
school where a recent assignment was
to hunt an article in a given maga
zine, with the shortest sentence length
throughout, after which each and
every sentence was to be counted, its
number of words taken track of, and
an average worked out from these
statistics. After it is all done, what is
the benefit? If you were taking an
art course would you expect proceed
ings to be something like this: "Now
several centuries ago there was a great
deal more work spent on pen and
ink drawings than in the present day.
You can see this by looking at it,
but now look at a picture of today.
See the simplicity of line, with the idea
back of it to convey a picture-story
in the fewest pen-scratches possible.
Yes, you can see this too. But for
the good it will do you, take this an
cient picture and count the number of
strokes that the artist made with his
quill, then count the number of arti
cles shown in the picture and by di
vision of the latter into the former,
ascertain the average number of lines
used. Do the same with the picture of
the present." Absolutely the same
thing, and what's tbe good? Think it
over, fellow-students. You're not be
ing a crab in so doing. You merely
want to know "Why." H. G.
