"CAMPUS DEMOCRACY AND UNIVERSITY SPIRIT"
Students who have been following the discussions In the Daily
Nebraskan upon the subject of the social life of the student at Ne
braska, will be interested in the convocation program for this morn
ing. Miss Oolooah Burner, national student secretary of the Y. W.
C. A., will address University students and faculty on ."Campus De
mocracy and University Spirit" Miss Burner has had wide experi
ence along the lines suggested in the title of her speech, and has
made a special study of the social problem of the University woman.
She comes well recommended, by other institutions, with which she
has been connected, and her suggestions to Nebraskans will carry
much weight
The Daily Nebraskan is searching for a solution to the vexing
problem of "campus democracy," and will gladly receive from stu
dents, personal opinions on the question. There is a letter pub
lished today in "Student Opinion," in answer to the letter we printed
yesterday. We believe that there is no better way of determining
campus opinion on this matter, than by urging students to write
us their views. We will be glad to print any letters pertaining to
this matter that are sent to our office. We hope that students will
take an interest in the question, and help to solve the problem by
giving to the student body politic any notions and conceptions that
they may entertain.
FACULTY AND STUDENT
One of the gravest and most serious mistakes which a student
can make during his course at college is failure to become personal
ly acquainted with his instructor. The student who fails to come
into closer contact with the faculty members of his course than that
contact which the routine of daily recitations afTords is depriving
himself of one of the most valuable assets of a college training.
Not only Is he doing himself a grave injustice during his college life,
but he is failing to grasp an opportunity, which, had he accepted,
would have been of inestimable value in after life.
While the majority of instructors endeavor to be of as much
service as possible in the class room, it is impossible, by the very
nature of their work, for them to convey the confidences and radiate
the inner personalities that they possess, which individual compan
ionship renders possible.
How much better it would be if students cultivated, at the be
ginning of their college careers, the habit of confiding in their pro
fessors and instructors, and thus soliciting the friendship and confi
dence of men, whose companionship and advice is sure to prove
profitable.
Such a relationship between students and faculty can be made
practical if the student will only show a willingness to accept such
friendships and meet his instructors half way. Ife will find him
willing to do his share and even more, if the student will but show
a desire for such friendship, and manifest upon his part a willing
ness to co-operate.
In this way student and instructor not only become better ac
quainted with each other, while th student is in college, but such
a relationship will nearly always bear fruit in more ways than one
after he has left his Alma Mater and engaged in the larger affairs
of the outside world. This is a point well worthy of careful consid
eration and still Is one which is all too liable to be passed upon
liphtly and carelessly neglected. The N"w Hampshire.

STUDENT OPINION
To A Lonely Student
There is a quotation from Shakes
peare, I believe, that reads: "My
friends have come to me unsought!"
The person who is in a position to
say this is a very fortunate one and
a very rare one! Most people have
to make their friends, and I am sure
that it is a no more di cult task in
this university than in any other
place. J i
You say you have known new stu
dents "who tried to meet others half
way, and were given the freezing
stare!" I believe that sucn cases are
exceptional few and far between.
And are the people who give the
rreezing stares" exactly the kind of
persons you wish for your friends?
You mentioned the girl who has the
large circle of friends. Did you ever
ask yourself bow she happened to have
so many friends? It is not because
she belongs to a sorority, nor because
she is pretty, nor because she Is a
Marian Henninger
Edith Howe
Genevieve Loeb
good dancer, nor anything like that,
for often she is none of these, but
because she is interested in her
school, the things her school is doing,
and in the people around her.
Are you interested in school activ
ities? Do you know that you can
meet more people by going out for
athletics and doing Y. W. C. A. work
than the average sorority girl will
meet in a year? There is a place
for every girl who is willing to give
some of her time to the activities of
her school. You have no idea how
hard it is to get girls out to do things.
nan oi loose asKea, reruse, y
One forms truer friendships work
ing with people than playing with
them. Do you put yourself out to
know the people in your classes? If
not why not? Don't stop l Uie
half way place. If neccesary go three
fourths, or all of the way. If you do
not put anything into your school life
you will get nothing out of it' Do
you remember what Emerson said
about preaching a better sermon,
making a better mouse trap, etc than
your neighbor, and the world making
a beaten path Into your door?
Think about It!

O. 1 D. Highway Association, report
ed on work that had been done during
tne past year. Mr. Roper spoke with
nilde of the advance that has been
n ade in permanent highway building
In Lancaster county. He said that tne
association has ben active in trying to
eliminate railroad grade crossings a
fast as possible, ell thought thta the
time will come when such crossings
will not be found. The co-operation of
the railroads has been secured when
possible and the dangerous grade
crossings have hern fup, .anted by
viaducts or by subways. President
Roper said that good roads advocates
living in counties of small population
are anxious to have the law changed
so that they can vote bonds. The as
soclatlon has been active in inducing
owns and cities to pave. When this
Is done rural paving can next be agl
tat.-d.
Vice President Barnett of McCook
reported that good work has been done
on the O. L. D. Highway In Red Wil
low County, and plans have been made
f. r more extensive improvements. Mr
E. E. Summers of the Colorado High
way Commission read an interesting
paper on "Denver and Eastern Colo
rado Highways."
The members of the institute were
the guests of County Engineer Edgren
and his deputy, D. W. Erickson, yester
day afternoon and a trip was taken
over the O. L. D. Highway to Green
wood and over the five and a half
miles of paving from Lincoln to Em
ersld.

if they make a hundred points. All
these organizations decided that their
