Where will Nebraska University entertain its high school athletes
who are coming here from all over the state to the basketball tourna
ment? The basketball high school tournament in the spring is one
of the biggest athletic events of the year. Besides being a big athletic
event it serves another purpose. One of the reasons for having the
tournament here is to attract high school boys to the University and to
get them interested In varsity athletics. Teams from more than one
hundred towns 6end their men here. What have we to offer to
arouse the enthusiasm of high school men for our school?
There la now the beginning of a nation-wide movement to pro
mote school athletics. The war taught us many lessons, and among
them that physical training plays a vital part in the welfare of a
people. There is no better place to give such training than in the
high schools and colleges. In the eyes of the high school boy the
college that appeals to 'him most strongly of all is the one that has
the most to offer in athletics. Every normal boy wants to be in ath
letics Just as at some time of his life he wants to be a pirate, or a
general, or the president of a bank. The difference in the two desires
lies in the fact that he usually wants to be in athletics enough to make
the effort. Regardless of how fine an institution we have, as concerns
intellectual training, or vocational training, we will loose many of the
finest young men of the state if we cannot offer them real college
athletics.
Our gymnasium will not serve to aid us in getting the respect and
backing of high school graduates. What difference can it make that
we have a highly competent coaching staff, as long as other schools
refuse to play on Nebraska ground, as Ames has just done? What
kind of an Inducement is that to offer? We loose prospective Corn
huskers. Every year at the. tournament scores of people are turned away.
Many who otherwise would come, do not even make the effort, because
they know how crowded and uncomfortable the accommodations are.
We loose money, Nebraska athletics are at stake.
THE TEST OF A MAN
(Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of Interior.)
The test is to be in peace what it was in the time of war. Are you
fitted for the fight? The man who knew how knowledge could be con
verted into power was the man for whom there was unlimited call.
So it is increasingly to 'be. To be useful is to be the test that society
will put. Each man's rights are to be measured, not by what he has
but by what he does with what he has. The honors the Croix de
Paix the richest rewards will go to the capables, those who are not
standardized into "men machines," those who dare to venture and
learn to lead. But all must work, and this duty to work and respect
for work should be the earliest lesson learned. And it should be
taught in the school, not as a homily, but in a living way by tying
work with instruction, making the thing learned to apply to some
thing done. I should like to see the day when every child learned a
trade while at school, trained his mind and his hand together, lifted
labor into art by the application of thought. To be useful is the
essence of Americanism, and against the undeveloped resources,
whether it be land or man, the spirit of this country makes protest.

TWO'S COMPANY, 2,000 A CROWD
So Friend Tom took you to the
basketball game the other night. And
you, being a freshman, and never hav
ing attended a basketball game here
at Nebraska, thought you were going
on a nice, lady-like little spree, but
how little did you dream of the true
state of affairs!
The evening started inauspiciously
with Tom's remark that you had never
once been ready when he called for
you. You stiflle your rage, and strove
to keep up with Tom's Stutz-like pace

Sadly out of breath you reached
the gym. The steps of the gym were
rather crowded, but Tom heroically
pushed his way through the people,
and dragged you up the steps, two or
three at a time.
However, at the top of the stairs
all speed ceased. There was assem
bled, or rather congestedr such a
crowd as never before gathered In such
a small space. Tom, who could see
ove most of the abble, said that with
the exception of about five square
feet wherein the players were strug
gling, the crowd was equally dense.
After remaining stationery in this
oxygen-less place for about ten min
utes, Tom suggested that you move.
MOVE! You had no Idea that motion
was possible, but any change would
be welcome. Tom is a strong man,
and in some miraculous way, he suc
ceeded in forging his way through the
multitude unharmed, but your large
hat suffered irreparable injuries, your
vanity box was lost and you feet were
utterly crushed.
Tom had discovered some seats
somewhere in the region of the ceil

During the evening plans were dis
cussed for the coining publication of
the "campus terror." the Evening
Shun. The editor. Mr. I. Giva Damn.
was elected, and assignments were
given to the different members, care
being taken, that no choice bit of scan
dal on the campus should escape the
ever alert eyes and cars of the Shun
repcrtorial staff. Hy way of explana
tion it may be said that the Evening
Shun is a rare specimen of Journalistic
art. published by Sigma Delta Chi,
and distributed annually at the uni
versity night performance. The paper
has a word for ' all members of the
student body and faculty who are alive
and active enough to have their names
thrust into prominence. The Shun
slogan is, "do nothing, say nothing,
and be nothing, if you want your name
kept out of my columns."
The editors of the Awgwan gave
short talks, describing the future plans
for that magazine. Five more issues
will be published during the college
year, and a special effort will be made
to make each succeeding number, out
do the others in point of excellence.
The Awgwan staff is now well organ
ized, after having overcome the diffi
culties of the first part of the year,
and great things are to be looked for
from this publication in the issues
that are to come.

FORDYCE EXPLAINS NEW PLAN
(Continued from page 3)
tion of that adopted in New York sev
eral years ago.
The graduate seminar of the teach
ers' college, which' gives part of its
tima to the study of current education
al problems relating to the organfza
tion and administration of public
schools, will on Friday evening, Janu
ary 17, devote the evening to a dis
cussion of the plan now In vogue in
the high schools of Nebraska for the
training of teachers for rural schools.
"About 3000 new teachers are need
ed annually for our own rural schools;
these are trained in the main in the
high schools as the students trained in
our colleges or normal schools take
places In the graded schools.
"Years ago New York introduced into
her high schools a plan of normal
training for rural teachers; Nebraska
soon followed by establishing normal
training high schools, having now 219
such schools, 190 receiving state cer
tificates; from these high schools
4,000 candidates will this year receive
training, 2,000 of whom will enter qp
on rural school teaching next year.
"Superintendent J. F. Duncan of the
state department of public instruction,
is incorporating this year a new and
improved plan of technical training
for the rural teachers. It Is this new
plan that Mr. Duncan will put before
consideration."
