OFFERS OPPORTUNITY
N. A. HUSE, NORFOLK EDITOR,
SPEAKS TO JOURNALISTS
Advocates Four Year Course
Journalism for the State
University
in
That the country newspaper field of
fers the best opportunity in newspa
perdom for the college graduate was
the point made by N. A. Huse, editor
of the Norfolk Daily News, who spoke
to the members of Professor Fogg's
journalism classes last night in Law
211. "The tendency today is for
fewer and better newspapers," Huse
declared. "There are two courses
open to you people who intend to go
into journalism. One is to become a
reporter or editor on a metropolitan
paper; the other is to become editor,
and then publisher of a country
daily."
Mr. Huso's talk was heard' with rapt
attention by the members of the
classes. He spoke in crips sentences,
and as one who had been through
the game and kne wwhat he was
talking about.
"The aggressive news spirit of the
day is the product of the west," Huse
quoted a great New York newspaper
man. In the east the editorial was
developed and has reached its high
est point, but the spirit of the news
end of the paper has found its best
inspiration in the west. The human
interest story is the greatest force in
the newspaper world today, and prop
erly handled, it will make any news
paper." Mr. Huse strongly advocated a four
years' course in journalism in the uni
versity, that would treat not only of
news and editorial writing, but de
vote special attention to advertising
as well.
The Student Council is Immediate Need
As has often been remarked in
these columns, the settlmenv of the
question of the location of the uni
versity and the voting of the three
quarters mill tax have started Ne
braska on a great period of expan
sion. Before this expansion has reach
ed it limit, the university will ex
tend over many times the area it now
occupies. Many excellent buildings,
and much better equipment will be
added.
We believe that the new era should
be paralleled by a growth and ex
pansion of student life. We believe
that the time is ripe for the organi
zation of a university state, similar .
to that long since existing in the
other great centers of education all
over the country.
The benefits this university state
will give the student body will be
many. It will be closely analogous
to the state of which the students
:nust be citizens upon leaving school,
and hence will be a laboratory in
self government. Through the adop
tion and administration of the Single
Tax it will permit greater university
institutions activities, the products
of which the student body will be
proud. Through the operation of a
Student Union it will create a bet
ter Nebraska spirit, a more demo
cratic fellowship.
The adoption of a Student Council,
representative of the student body as
a whole, and having general legisla
tive, administrative and in a few
cases judicial power, will create this
university state. A governing body
elected by the students and respon
sible to them, will be a guarantee ot
the effective though not perfect
administration of the above named in
stitutions. Such has been the experience of
other schools. Perfection is lacking.
But a greater school spirit exists;
the student state creates a keener in
terest in community affairs; activi
ties are on a higher plain, and stu
dent life is, as a whole, in better con
dition than it is here now.
The university state thus being de
sirable, that the present is the time
for its birth cannot be doubted. Next
year will bear the first fruits of cam
pus expansion. Increased activity by
the university will bring increased en
rollment. If the new idea is begun
now, it will mean the proper growth
of student life.
Hence, the necessity of action on
the Student Council before the close
of the present semester.

Two Hundred Voices Trained by Mrs.
Raymond in the Great Sant
Saens' Opera
The university chorus, directed by
Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond, gave what
one local critic called "some of the
finest chorus Elnging ever heard in
Lincoln," when it sang "Samson and
Delilah" a.: part of the university
May music festival at the auditorium
Monday and 7 uesday. The Sant
Saens' opera w is interpreted with
the greatest dramatic power by the al
most 200 trained voices of the univer
sity singers.
The appearance of the chorus mark
ed also the first presentation of the
opera in Lincoln. From an artistic
point of view, the performance was
notable. That the cborus could han
dle so well an opera entirely unfa
miliar, is at once a great tribute to
the members and to Mrs. Raymond,
who drilled them. The solo parts
were taken by Mr. Wheatley and Miss
LeBaron.
The university tennis men Ellis,
Chatt and Gardiner, leave Lincoln

The Kansas Aggies are the first
team to be played. They will meet
the Nebraska representatives at Man
hattan this evening. William Jewel
will be played tomorrow, Baker Frl

Orville Chatt was elected captain
of the team before the men left this
morning. He succeeds Charles Gar
diner, who left school.
At a meeting held the latter part
of last week the publication board
decided that a semi-centennial anni
versary booklet should be published

DEAN ROSGOE POUND
FAVORSJRANDEIS
Thinks Boston Lawyer Would Be a
Splendid Man for Supreme Court
Dean Roscoe Pound, of the Harvard
law school, university graduate and
former teacher, is quoted in the last
issue of Harper's Weekly as strongly
favorin? the confirmation of Louis D.
Brandeis as a member of the su
preme court of the United States. Mr.
Brandeis' name, when sent to the sen
ate by President Wilson, aroused a
great deal of opposition and the mat
ter is still being debated.
Dean Pound gives as his opinion
that friends of Mr. Brandeis are mak
ing a mistake in urging his views on
social legislation as his principal
qualification. While this is import
ant, he thinks, it is not the main mat
ter to consider, which is his legal
mind, sheer legal ability and legal
judgment. Dean Pound concludes by
saying that for sheer legal ability,
Mr. Brandeis is at the very top of the
bar in this country.
OMAHA ALUMNI HELP
ON STUDENT VISIT
WORK WITH COMMERCIAL CLUB
TO ENTERTAIN NEBRASKANS
Places of Interest to Be Visited
Metropolis Would Be Gracious
Host to Students
A special committee of University
of Nebraska alumni now in Omaha
has been appointed to work with the
bureau of publicity and the Omaha
Commercial club in handling arrange
ments for the visit of the students
to the metropolis, May 19. This an
nouncement comes from the latest
news bulletin sent out b7 the Omaha
club.
The stock yards, packing houses,
Union Pacific shops, smelter, munici
pal water plant at Florence, daily
newspaper offices, wholesale houses,
manufacturing plants, and other
points of interest are among the
places that it is proposed the stu
visit. Details of the operations in
each plant will be explained by ex
perts, ana the trips will be. carefully
planned in advance so that the ground
can be completely covered.
The Omaha citizens are looking
forward with anticipations of the
keenest pleasure to the visit of the
students. The Commercial club bulle
tin has this to say: "As this is the
first time in history that such a trip
has been undertaken by the students
of the university, Omaha is naturally
very anxious to play the host in a
most gracious manner."
Miss Flo Boyles, '15, will be in Lin-
cola Friday and Saturday.
MISS BLANCHARD AT
COMING CONFERENCE
Miss Leslie Blanchard of New York
city, vocational secretary of the state
university Y. W. C. A, wilL-speak
at the Girl's club conference. Many
girls will remember her from her visit
here a year ago last fall.
"You Ought to Be Ashamed of Your
self If You Are Not
Yourself
"Master the thing you want, hold it
before you, and learn to concentrate
on it. Don't give up!" said Dr. E. L.
House, in his talk on the "Psychology
of Success" at convocation yesterday.
"You are not in a hundred-yard dash;
you're in a life race and it is not the
number of falls a man gets that
counts, but how he gets up. Learn
from your defeats."
There are no set rules, according
to Dr. House. Fate is not suc
cess; accumulation of wealth is not
success. Success is work done and
character won.
Conscious and Subconscious Minds
The conscious realm is the mind of
will and judgment. The subconscious
realm accounts for the phenomena in
the conscious realm. The relation
ship of the conscious realm to the sub
conscious realm is as the pilot to the
engineer. The conscious mind does
the work, the subconscious furnishes
the power; the conscious mind is ar
tificial, the subconscious is the nat
ural power; the conscious mind is the
weak, the subconscious mind is the
strong.
We must learn to do things sub
consciously, said Dr. House. The sub
conscious mind is the mind of perfect
memory. Nothing is ever lost that
goes into it. The secret of success
is to lay hold of our subconscious
power.
The subconscious mind has the
power to do things. At some times
it is easier to write than other times
it is easy to do things because the
subconscious mind is alert and fur
nishes the power to do things.
The Secret of Life
"The secret of your life is to know
how to get down into your subcon
sciousness and wake up, and bring
forth the things that are there. The
subconscious mind never sleeps.
Therefore it has much to do with a
person's age and appearance. We have
been taught that people begin to get
old at 55 or 60 years, but we know
today that we can have twenty years
added to our life if we just hold the
thought of youth. Make up your mind
that you have a healthy body.
"The superconscious mind, or that
of spirit, is formed with the capacity
to comprehend and know the truth.
It is through the spirit realm that
God connects himself with you.
All Have Success Elements
"Everyone has the elements of
mighty success. Tbey must organize
the material they have. That Is
what education is for, it is our duty
to organize our forces to be power
ful and effective. When a man does
organize himself, he will leap up and
become great and mighty. Your
teachers cannot tell who will be the
greatest; it may be someone who
hasn't yet come to the realization ot
his powers. I want you young men
to organize yourselves," urged Dr.
House.
"Have an individuality that's yours.
The secret of a man's success is the
fact that he puts his stamp of indi
viduality on the things he does. He
may get his material from other
fields, but the world wants Individual-
