SAY "HELLO" EVERY DAY
Not only today, but every day. should be Hello Day on the
campus.
A cordial -Hello" sets to work within us stimuli of interest and
good feeling. Greeting fellow-students in passing makes travel
easier along the heated, wind-swept or snow-covered wr.iks. As you
rusti up the steps to make a class, bursting in breathlessly on a
professor in the midst of his rollcall isn"t so terrifying if friends
have yelled "Hello" along the way. And when gathering in the
bleachers for a big game, it comes a little easier to pound the fel
low next to you on the back during an exciting moment, if you have
spoken before, and If you have spoken to the members of the team,
or if they have spoken to you, your interest in the progress of the
fight will arouse you more strongly as' an individual. Aroused in
dividuals at the football game soon become a wildly cheering crowd.
Saying "Hello" makes you look at the fellow to whom you are
speaking. Next time when you pass him you will remember him,
and perhaps he will remember you. Thus a friendsh'p has been
established that may prove invaluable in or out of the University.
Eventually all students leave the University to enter various
walks' of life. There is no telling when, where or under what cir
cumstances they will meet again; but when they do meet, if they
have said "Hello" at some time during 1919 or 1920 on the campus,
their bond as Nebraska Staters will be strengthened Ohio State
Lantern.
WORKING ON SCHEDULE
Making out a schedule for all four years' work as" early in the
freshman year as possible is recommended by an old student as the
best way of getting all there is out of the college curriculum.
"Of course it isn't possible to select one's line right at the start
every time," is the way he tells' it, "but if a fellow knows what he's
going to do, he should run his work by schedule. Most of the work
in engineering and similar lines is mapped out, and when the techni
cal man has completed his education, he has something concrete to
make a living with.
"But many college students," continued the upperclassman, "who
begin by taking the prescribed courses in their fresliman year, to
gether with what their friends consider snaps, finally select their
major chiefly by accident, and leave school witlwa bit of polish and
a bit of information but little better fitted for making a living than
when tb?y left high school.
"Mapping a complete schedule for four years, to be followed as
closely as the hours at which the courses are given will allow, gives
one a definite goal toward which to work. There's no reason why
a college man shouldn't use the schedule plan to advantage as well
as the engineer." Daily Kansan.
THE TEACHING PROFESSION
It should be a source of state-wide pride to take cognizance of
the fact that a new era is dawnin gin the teaching profession. The
teachers of a state constitute a potent factor in shaping the destinies
of the commonwealth and their services to humanity are unlimited.
The progress of the university teachers' college is', therefore, a
source of satisfaction because it means an awakening on the part
of the people to the needs and demands for more efficient teachers.
An old truth Is being re-discovered in the increasing popularity of
of the idea that a teacher is something more than an instructor of
facts and figures'. A pupil for instance is not taught mathematics be
cause It is essential to know the meaning of the term logarithm or
the cosine of an angle, but the pupil is taught mathematics because
it developes the inunctions of the brain and teaches him to understand
life by calcu!ative processes . Similarly, with philology, history, art
and the sciences, the pupil is taught these subjects in their relations
to his adult life.
The teachers fo today are becoming more and more aware of
that basic fart, namely, that teaching is not. in its larger sense, the
pounding of definitions, dates and statistics into the head of the
pqpil, but it is the function of assisting the pupil in correlating the
multitudinous affairs and activities of life about him. It is the duty
of the teacher to help the pupil understand life as it unfolds in its
mysterious manner before him and to help him separate the vital
from the non-essential. In short, the duty of the teacher is to ttach
the pupil how to live, drawing richly dpon the experences of li'e in
the jat as related in the histories, for object lessens and funda
mental principles, but at the same time taking great precaution not
to confus? in the mind of the pupil the truism that the goal of civili
zation lien ahead and not in the past.

TEXT BOOK STOCKS
DEPLETED BY RUSH
Shipment of Volumes Expected
to Arrive at Book Stores
Saturday.
Due to the heavy enrollment of stu
dents thla year the supply or text
Look at the various stores proved to
be Inadeqquate to meet the demain.s.
An estimate of 20.000 to 2S.0OO lti
books and 15,000 note books were sold
to the, students of the university this
year, according to the statement made
by the manager of one of the book
stores.
At the College Book Store most ot
the text books are Bold out and the
demand for books this year has been
greater than ever before. The mathe
matics, science and commercial text
books are very much In demand due
to the very large number of men at
tending the University of Nebraska
this year.
The other book stores report a big
increase in the sale of text books and
note books and have sold out also
many of the different text booKS.
Orders for books have been wired
in however, and by the end of the
week, if not sooner, the supply of text
books will be repleted and be suffi
cient for the rest of the season.
ABOUT THE CAMPUS.
11. W. Queal. '11. was a vlsito- in
the engineering department this ivek.
Queal. formerly a raptaln in the serv
ice abroad, returned to the United
States two months ago, after "."-eing
two years fifighting with the Ameri
can army. He has now entered the
contracting business with headquar
ters at Kansas City, and is in Lincoln
at the present time to bid on tho pro
posed paving to be done near the peni
tentiary. Registration in the psychology de
partment nearly doubles that of last
fall. There is an enrollment in gener
al psychology of 300. Classes are be
ing conducted under some difficulties
as all the equipment has not yet ar
rived. The department soon hopes to
have the laboratory in order.
FRANK LUKE'S FATE DIS
COVERED One of the most moving chapters in
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker's great
book, "Fighting the Flying Ciicus"
(Stokes) is that dealing with the gal
lant Frank Luke of the 27th Squad
ron who shot down thirteen balloons
in six days and disappeared at dusk
on evening over the German lines,
never to be seen by his comrades
again. His fate was not known for
many months but the following inter
esting affidavit, signed by thirteen in
habitants, the mayor and the grave
diggers of the village of Murvnax,
which was only recently received in
response to inquiries from the Graves
Registration Officer, settles all doubt
as to the sequel to his story.
"The undersigned living in the town
of Murvaux, department of Meuse, cer
tify to have seen, on the 29th of Sep
tember, 1918, toward evening, an Am
! erican aviator, followed by an escaa
jiille of Germans in the direction or
Liny, near Dun-sur-Meuse, descent
! suddenly and vertically toward the
earth, then straighten out close to
ihe ground and fly in the direction of
Brier's farm, near Coulcon, where he
found a German captive balloon,
which he burned. Following this he
flew toward Milly, where he fouud
another captive balloon, which he
also burned, in spite of an Incessant
fire directed toward his machine.
There he was apparently wounded by
a shot from rapid fire cannon. From
there he came back over Murvaux,
and still with his machine gun killed
j six German soldiers and wounded as
; many more.
"Following this he landed and got
j out of his machine, undoubtedly to
j quench his thirst at a near-by stream.
He had gone some fifty yards, when
seeing the Germans coming toward
j him, still had the strength to draw
! his revolver to defend himseh, and a
I moment after fell dead.
, "Certify equally to have seen the
j German commandant of the village
I refuse to have straw placed in the
cart carrying the dead aviator to the
village cemetery. This same officer
drove away some women bringing a
! sheet to serve as a shroud for the
hero, and said, kicking the body, 'Get
that out of my way as quickly as pos
sible.' "The next day the Germans look
away the aeroplane, and the inhaoi
tants also saw another American avi-
lator flying low over the town, appar
ently looking for the dipfippeare! avl-rior."
