A RETURN TO SANITY
It is more or less with a feeling of relief that the student body
receives the news voted by the Faculty Senate at the meeting of last
Saturday, for the reinstatement of the two-semester plan, which will
be considered and acted upon by the regents. It is much more sat
isfying and reassuring to return to the old ways of regulating our
periods of college work than to discover and try to understand the
working of the three-semester plan which was adopted after regis
tration lor the convenience of the Students' Army and Navy Units.
We have been beset with doubts and misgivings as to the success of
the new and unfamiliar division. In the case of Seniors, when credits
ire of piofound importance, this was especially the true case.
In the same vote from the Faculty comes the recommendation for
a week't, vacation i,t Christmas, which adds materially to our spirit of
cxhileration with the coming of the old regime. Besides the natural
physical and mental verve gained in a vacation at the Holiday season,
there is also a valuable spiritual stimulus. Boih students and fac
ulty return to classes with a feeling of increased interest and inspira
tion. With two of our most serious problems solved happily there conies
the opportunity to conduct school affairs in the same lively manner of
'he days before the war. A good many of the men who have left will
be back. There will be much new material from the S. A. T. C. and
he S. N. T. C. Old interests and traditions, which for the time have
been submerged under ihe more momentous activities of a war time
college will be revived.
As a University we have suffered during the period of war. We
have slighted those things which tend to contribute to the vigor of
campus life. It is our duty now, as well as our inclination to take up
the loose ends and fasten thorn so avto emphasize and strengthen our
intellectual and social pursuits as college students.
BORES AND PESSIMISTS
(M. Severance.)
Between a bore and a pessimist there is but little difference. A
bore hangs on and on, and wearies one with iteration; he "holds the
floor" and does all the "talking," mostly about himself. The saying
that you should be a good listener originated with the man who wanted
1o hog it all.
A pessimist is a person who is everlastingly harping on Fate; one
who sees ihe dark side of life, and who would, if he could, induce
every one else to take the same view. Tiresome to extremes, he be
comes a nuisance, but hasn't sense enough to know it. From dwelling
on fatalism day after day. year in and year out. in time be becomes a
fit subject for an asylum for incurables.
In truth, the worst pessimists were those old prophets who were
always predicting evil. who. never smiled, who never cracked a joke,
and who were out of their element if not miserable.
Heraclitus, the weeping philosopher, who lived about 500 years
B. C, spent his whole existence wailing over the miseries of human
life. Finally he became a man-hater, retired io the mountains, fed
cn grass, which brought on a dropsical complaint, and, to cure him
self, returned to town, where he took up his residence on a garbage
head, and died there at the age of 60. He had previously bored people
to death who were compelled to listen 1o his daily harangue on fate,
which he maintained, governed all things.
The world is overrun with those who call themselves philosophers,
who do not even know the definition of the word. In various ways they
post as leformers, but are lotally unfit even to reform themselves. As
Epictetus says: "The first step toward becoming a philisopher is io
be sensible."
With all its imperfections, with all its drawbacks, this world is a
gcvd place. We are here to stay while life lasts, and the only thing
we can do is to make the best of it. Fretting and worrying does not
help matters.

Demobilization Delayed ;
Forms necessary for the discharge
work of the Nebraska University
troops had not arrived last evening,
but are expected this morning so that
the work of demobilization may be
started immediately. Lieutenant F. J.

demobilization of Sertion A would
start before the latter part of tho
week, probably Friday or Saturday.
Present plans contemplate the dis
missal of one company each day,
starting with the Section B. vocational
training companies. Members of Com

equipment yesterday, preparatory to
their final discharge during the next
few days.

If Simpson. Evans and Feuerborn
are members cf Section A. S. A. T. C.
they are eligible. If they are fresh
men in the university they are also
eligible, and since Rutherford has 6aid
that they are bona fide members of
the Section A and of the university,
the Nebraska trouble maJers have
simply pulled a "hone" in tailing for
the dope.
The Huskers should be glad that
they are to meet a team worthy of

"LITTLE BOHEMIA"
In gay New York, the port of the east, ;
The city that never sleeps; j
Where all the races of earth have met '
Where a man must sow as he reaps, i
Down in the heart of Washington
Square, !
Eac h with a heart of gold; j
Is Little Bohemia Fair and straight j
With their standards a century old. j
i
There is the place where the wealth !
of a man I
Is not only wealth for him, j
But is wealth to that brother that's I
down and out, j
To the dainty, the gruff and the grim.
A wonderful folk with a motto that
says: "
That he with the gains that is made.
Shall give fifty-fifty, each one to each.
As the cards that they gamble are
played.
Painters and artists, clear down to the
last
Of the various trades we know.
This principle plays a Samaritan part
Where each is a friend, not a foe.
What a wonderful way to look at life
Equality man between man.
While 1 wonder that awed and deeply
impressed
We never have followed the plan.
It is loo much me and it's too much I,
That the most of all of us try;
Instead of a share by the man who
wins
For those that he"s passed on by.
So Little Bohemia, scarcely a speck
In the world of affairs, yet the while
They can teach us a life that we never
have lived.
And such friendship is really worth
while.
