THE MISSOURI VALLEY
BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
The Kansas State Collegian, pub
lished by the Kansas Aggies, contends
that a postseason game should be
played with Nebraska to decide the
basketball championship of the Mis
souri Valley. It is said that the Ag
gies did not lose the games, because
the referee said that the games were
beyond his control.
We regret to see this attitude on the
part of a conference school. Nebras
ka won every game on its schedule.
It is hard, of course, to lose a cham
pionship in two games lost by one
point each. It is entirely possible that
the result might have been different
had the games been on the Aggies'
floor. But these are matters that
should have been settled when the
schedules were made. The Aggies
evidently accepted the schedule with
out protest. The team with the high
est percent of victories was to be the
champion. The games were played
fairly and according to rules. The
referee, has said nothing that would
Indicate fraud or mistake; he merely
remarked that the games are now a
thing of the past and beyond his
control.
We will admit that the Aggies wero
worthy opponents. We will concede
that the score was too close for
comfort. We will even admit that
the result might have been different
on some other floor. But we will not
admit that the championship belongs
anywhere else than at Nebraska. Last
year we did not object to the claim
of Kansas to the championship, even
though their two games with Nebras
ka were won on their own floor. No,
Nebraska does not like to see a con
ference school lose so hard.
Thr In a wide field from which to
choose what one will work for. And
this is well. The one, universal aim
is the same, to live truer, better lives
from day to day. A life without a pur
pose is like a ship without a rudder.
Want of motive makes life dreary and
monotonous. Nothing satisfies. "Bet
ter little talent and much purpose
than much talent and little purpose."
Aim for something worth while and
keep your mark steadily in view. Life
will mean much more to you. You
will be more useful to the world, you
will find more satisfaction in living.

WE'RE ALL CO-EDS
. What is a co-ed? According to Web
stah. a coeducational institution is
one in which both men and women are
enrollf 1. Then why should women
carry ihls cognomen alone? From
this time henceforth in this column,
coed shall refer to both men and
women.

HAVE PURPOSE FIRST
Work for something, not for noth
ing. It is not wise to live Just for
the fleeting moment or just for today.
Without some aim, one's time and
work go for naught. The years go
by and he lias nothing to show for
them. If not advancing, we are fall
ing back. If not keeping alive, grow
ing to something better and higher,
we are becoming weaker and of less
worth. Even though we never reach
the goal, we have made some advance
in striving for it. A good aim, a real
purpose in life, makes worth of char
acter. All have not the same tastes.

SELF-ANALYSIS
SENSATION COMING
As a result tf the article on "brib
ery" or "the corruption of a newspa
per" in Friday's issue, we wish to
state that we hae gleaned much evi
dence of the perverted honesty of
some of the well known citizens of
this little world of ours, and in due
course of time a complete expose of
all conditions will be made.

It's fierce to be a boner
In a long exam.-
The Independent in a recent issue j
contained a list of questions wnicn, n
answered affirmatively would qualify
anyone as an optimist. Here are some
of them:
"Have you learned to give in with
out giving up?
"Is you will unbreakable; your
faith invincible?
"Are you glad to be told of your
mistakes?
"Can you smile at losses, abuses
and disappointments while in the
midst of them?
"Could you be happy if all of your
friends deserted you?
"Have you kept the faith, romance
and Idealism of your youth?
'Are you determined to be and do
the best here is in your line of work?
"Can you enjoy a good joke on
yourself?
"Are you helping to make your
friends and neighbors optimistic?
"Is your final ambition unselfish?"
How much of a grade can you at
tain as an optimist? Such a list of
questions is good for th6 soul. They
set us to thinking, they stimulate self
anaylsls. A probe of ourselves is
always of value, especially in deter
mining our degree of optimism.
An hour cannot be spent 'more prof
itably than in keen searching sef
examlnation. Jus try it sometime and
then start a campaign for reconstruc

ETHEL SNOWDEN,
PEACE DELEGATE
At the international Women's Peace
conference at San Francisco, Mrs.
Philip Snowden, the non-militant suf
fragist leader of London, appeared as
the representative of four organiza
tions with a, membership of 80,000
men. Mrs. Snowden is the wife of a
dlstinguised Jabor member of the
English parliament and the author of
a book on the feminist movement the
Importance of which has been recog
nized on both sides of the Atlantic.
The suffragists have been urging
those of their party to "look In the
mirror." and observe their splendid
facial characteristics. We heartily
suggest that Mrs. Snowden has noth
ing to fear from this test. Exchange.

class in the law building Tuesday
mornings at 11 o'clock and another at
4 o'clock Friday afternoons, but why
she would go to the empty class room
Friday morning when there was no
class, and wait patiently for half an
hour without realizing her mistake, is
something we can't understand.
YOU'D NEVER KNOW
You'd never know that old spring suit
of mine,
The pleats are laid so very fine,
And all the powder spots, really are
not.
And the collar stands up round my
neck, so high, so tight and chok
ing, too.
Around the sleeves the fringe is never
seen ;
The coat has lost its well-known
sheen with gasoline,
And the pockets that were torn are
neatly darned.
You'd never know that old spring suit
of mine.
The way this paper has been tell
ing about spring, one might think it
has been doing- free advertising f&r

MAN SWEARS, BUT
BABY HAS TO FRET
Chicago. "Because babies can't
swear, they fret," Dr. Frank S. Church
hill told several hundred mothers at
Chicago's baby show.
"Don't worry when the baby frets,"
he said. "It's just like a man's swear
ing. It is usually indulged in mere
ly to express pent up emotions."
