THOUGHT
The thought for this editorial came from lectures by two Nebraska
University professors earlier this week. Both are keen observers,
closely sympathetic with the students and with a vision of the mean
ing of life.
One of them declared this belief, that no student should be given a
degree until he can face a hard mental problem with an appetite for
solving it. No student is really eligible for a bachelor's degree, the
professor said, if he cannot take a book like Bergson's "Creative Evo
lution." and read it through, slowly and understanding.,
The other professor had been startled by some questions asked
him in the broken English of a student from Russia. He had put
some queries that would not have sprung from the minds of nine out
of ten American students. This professor declared that he was
appalled by the different levels of thought of the American college
student and the foreign college student.
And students in the first class drew long faces at the thought of
touching a book on philosophy, which would be a book on life. Stu
dents in the second class gasped at the thought that this foreigner
might be thinking thoughts on a higher intellectual plane than they
were accustomed to think.
THE PETTY GRAFTERS
It is about time for the petty grafting around hte University to
stop. The principle of give and take has been developed to the highest
degree of efficiency by the different class committeemen and officers,
until one wonders how much longer the plain student is going to stand
for it
Appointment to the chairmanship of a class hop, as a usual thing,
is a matter of whim of the candidate who is elected, but administration
of that office should be looked upon as an honor and a responsibility by
the man in charge. Instead, with rare exceptions, he has been content
to make his dance pay out, and by admitting free enough chairmen of
other dance committees, to insure himself a place in the grand march
of every other hop of importance.
In other words, the classes are conferring an honor upon the chair
men, and the chairmen are exacting tribute for what is merely the
performance of a duty.
The complimentary list for a class hop should end with the com
mittee that has charge of the party and does the work. Just by way
of example, why should the president of the class of 1912 have been
admitted free to the hop given by the class of 1913?
The financial statements of the different hops, as audited by the
agent of student activities and published in the "University Notices"
column of The Nebraskan, should furnish interesting reading to more
students. With few exceptions, the same names appear time after
time among those to whom complimentaries were issued. It is
ordinarily a roll call of the skillful grafters.
The junior play committee, by refusing to issue complimentaries
to its own personnel, and the cast, in saying that they too, did not
want free tickets, deserves the praise of the students who like a square
deal." Let it be hoped that again a precedent has been established.

NOT EVERY MAN CAN
RUN A GROCERY
G. F. Schwake of Grainger Bros. Talks
on "Wholesale Grocery Business"
to Commercial Club
It isn't every man who can run a
grocery store, despite the seemingly
prevalent belief to that effect, accord
ing to O. F. Schwake, of Grainger
Bros., who spoke to members of the
University Commercial club in U 112
yesterday afternoon on "The Whole
sale Grocery Business."
Pointing out the fact that there were
failures in the grocery business quite
as numerous as in some other seem
ingly more hazardous vocations, Mr.
Schwake gave four reasons for the
failure of retail groceries: lack of cap
ital, poor management, over-buying.
and too great extension of credit. The
speaker left the Inference that not
every one who ventured into business
escaped all four of these exigencies.
The role of corner grocer was
praised by Mr. Schwake, who showed
the very close contact of the grocery
store with the family circle, and the
opportunity there of service of a kind
not to be disdained.
Other points touched on by Mr.
Schwake were his own early business
experiences in Lincoln, the effect of
the Harrison food and drug act upon
both wholesale and retail trade, and
the relation of the wholesale grocer to
the retailer.
Stanford is considering the con
struction of a press building for hand
