TOLERATION
"I'd send my brother to a smaller
echool to begin," a graduate student
and an assistant in one of the depart
ments of science, said the other day.
"Freshmen here have an entirely un
necessary amount of grief to go
through," he added.
Professors, instructors, assistants,
those people upon whom students are
to such a degree dependent for what
they get out of college are of two
kinds. There are those who can ap
preciate and sympathize with the
ideals of students and there are those
who cannot.
Many older people do not take the
student's individual opinion seriously
enough. From their mature, expert
enced point of view, they ridicule what
is really serious to the student. Such
criticism is destructive and not con
structive. What the student often
needs is more, help and less sarcasm
No one, not even a professor, has the
right to shatter a single ideal of a
student unless he replaces it. He has
however the opportunity of pre
senting new ideals that the student
will voluntarily discard his immatture
beliefs.
Negilent work by some students is
probably responsible for this derisive
attitude when it does exist. Worn out
by constant contact with students who
think that in order to be up-to-dato
they must do a two-hour task in fifteen
minutes, it is no wonder that faculty
members resort to irony.
KILLING TIME
Time is a servant to be used, not an
enemy to be destroyed. Many a man
whose purpose is killing time has land
ed in the Potter's Field, while Time
went upon his way unmoved.
Time says to the new-born babe, "I
will endow you richly; the wealth of
ny days and weeks and years shall
be yours." Time is no respecter of
persons: sixty golden minutes are in
jour hour .and mine; twenty-four
hours in the day he apportions to us
r.ll.
Our real success or failure in life
will depend upon our use of time. If
we fail to use it wisely, we abuse one
of the best gifts of God. The time
that is idly frittered away can never
return. "The mill cannot grind with
the water that is past." The oppor
tunities of yesterday have become
cither the stepping-stones or fretters
of today; as we improve or neglect
them, so they lift or bind.
Exchange.
DON'T GIVE UP YOUR LIBERTY
BONDS
A reader of the World's Work has
written an interesting letter from
Louisville, Ky., in which he says:
"I happen to know quite a trade has
been done by local musical firms
handling Victrolas and piano-players
in liberty bonds during this Christmas
season, the securities received in pay
ment being immediately sold to the
banks for cash at regular market
rates. Now, are not these merchants
defeating the very purpose for which
liberty bond3 were issued in encourag
ing people to part with them in this
way?"
An example of the attempts to Jus
tify this use of liberty bonds is con
tained in the following paragraph from
the Louisville Herald:
"One hundred dollars, burled in the
napkin of a liberty bond, is dead until
the war Is over and the bond Is ma
ture. It can render no further senr
Ice to the nation. But, If that 100 of
credit, -which was created when the
bond was purchased from the govern-
aoent, is spent and put Into active clr
culatlon, it is entirely possible that it
may change hands every day leaving
a service profit at every change of
hands thus rendering a continuous
national service through multiplying
profits and providing the prosperity
which can pay its share of the war
taxes, or buy the new Issues of bonds
and enable us to pay the nation's war
debts without depleting our capital."
The writer'B idea is that liberty
bonds should be used as currency and
that every time a person gets one in
the course of trade he has helped the
government, and that every man who
gives one in trade has likewise done
hia duty. If this were true we should
also be helping win the war everytime
we either received or spent a five
dollar bill. War is not as easy as
that.
The government wants to have some
one actually save money which repre
sents labor or material, and buy lib
erty bonds and keep them for a latter
date, for the government needs more
labor and material than it can pay for
at present by taxation. The govern
ment does not need any more currency,
The federal reserve system is sufllci
ently elastic to furnish all necessary
currency without rerourse to the use
of liberty bonds. The stores in Louis
ville and the papers there have hurt
the government, not helped it, by en
couraging people to give up their
bonds for merchandise.
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
recently said: "I hope that the
merchants of the country, upon a more
careful consideration of the subject,
will discontinue their efforts to sell
merchandise and take liberty bonds in
payment," adding that, though he has
no doubt that merchants offering to
take liberty loan bonds in exchange
for merchandise are actuated by pa
triotic motives, such transactions tend
to defeat a primary object of the bond
sales, as they discourage thrift and
increase expenditures.

HUSKERS LOSE TO
AMES MAT ARTISTS
(Continued from page one)
score of 14 to 26.
Although the score was close, even
it does not show how extremely
small the margin was that the farm
ers had over the Cornhusker repre
sentatives. In fact the two bouts
that the Nebraskans won were taken
in much more workmanlike fashion
than the contests in which the Ames
men were victors. Troendly and
Munn who won their matches with
falls tossed their men in short time
for one fall and then took their own
time in finishing out the matches.
Troendly, 125 pound representa
tive, didn't give his opponant a
chance to get on the offensive, but
started in at the beginning of the
match and didn't stop work until he
had his opponent on his back. Munn
put hfe''Ausky adversary on the mat
in less than two minutes and then
spent the rest of the time teasing
him around.
Boggs, -who had been doped as a
winner in the 135 pound class de
veloped a bad case of stage fright
and allowed his man to secure the
decision in twenty-one minutes of
wrestling. Long, who went into the
145 pound class, weighed in the
neighborhood of thus giving his
opponent 10 pounds advantage in
weight. He stayed on the mat, how
ever, during the full time and al
though the decision went to the far
mer the Cornhusker youngster put
up a real scrap.
Mackey, in the 158 pound class,
had to yield to two falls to an ex
perienced opponent who knew all the
tricks of the game.
Dobson, in the 175 pound class,
wrestled one of the prettiest bouts
of the day In spite of the fact that
his opponent out-weighted him nearly
nine pounds. The Cornhusker, after
two periods of nearly even work,
yielded to a fall.'
Coach Otoupalik will devote the
greater part of his time curing the
next few days In tryingto develop
a man for the 145 pound class. In
most of the other classes the same
men will compete In the coming
meets that were In the meet Friday.

NEBRASKA SPEAKERS
ARE THIRD IN RANK
(Continued from Page One)
"Nebraska has done well and under
you I know there will be no slacken
ing of the pace. More than that
every state organization is now
pledging its redoubled efforts and
you must keep Nebraska in the lead.
"Our organization has done wonder
ful work because it has the finest
spirit in the country the spirit of
unity and service and in no state is
this spirit better exemplified than in
Nebraska. From coast to coast, from
Canada to Mexico, no force has been
more potent for months past in arous
ing the people to the support of
their government. But what we have
done in the past is nothing to the
task ahead of you. Every local
chairman, every speaker who is en
rolledas President Wilson puts it
as a member of this "officers' reserve
corps," should feel the responsibility
on his shoulders and put into the
work all the time and strength he
has. Carry the message."
