VOTE TODAY
It is to the interest of every member of the junior and freshmen
classes to vote in the class elections today. Seniors and sophomores
will not have the privilege of expressing their choice for class presi
dent. an unfortunate situation, since it kills interest attendant upon a
class election, and allays the excitement and keen rivalry which are
happy features of student politics.
Students should weigh carefully the qualifications of the candi
dates on their list before they make a final choice. They are bestow
ing the highest honor of their group and it should mean more to them
than the cajoling of energetic campaign managers who wil seek in
every way to influence their decisions. There will be satisfaction de
rived from asserting an independence of will in ma' ing a decision for
the man they earnestly believe to be the truest representative of tueir
class both Inside and outside the University.
But aside from that, there is a real reason why evey student should
vote. Class elections are a student tradition, a tradition in which
everv student may have a part. They furnish an illuminating bit of di
version from studies and promote spirit among members of each class.
By all means visit the polls today, and vote!
BE PATIENT
There is a tendency among students just entering a Univers'ty to
become disconsolate at the outset under normal conditions. The red
tape of registering, the disappointment in schedules, strange surround
ings, an.l the general unsettled situation tends to lower the morale
during matriculation week.
The present period of registration is one of unusual stress to t.ie
new students and to many of the old ones who are familiar with the
University's suroundings. Despite the splendid organization of the ad
ministration, the sudden influx of students has caused a momon'ary
congestion at the Registrar's office and has taxed the rooming ac
commodations of the city. The situation is abnormal.
Because of the unprecedented enrollment the condition is to bo ex
pected. The administration urges the student body to adjust useif
to the exceptional situation and exhorts the students to be patient.
Students who expect to earn their way are advised to b especially
heedful against discouragement.
It is the duty of every student to accommodate himself to the
present condition and be patient. Courses will be provided and rooms
will be found for all in the next few days. The administration is hand
ling the situation in a way which should meet the approval of the stu
dent body. Patience and optimism should guide the students during
the present abnormal condition. The Daily Iowan.
The warning which Dean Engberg issues today on eligibility re
quirements is deeply significant. It calls to mind the prime purpose
for which we are here, namely, to get an education. Other things
of equal importance may come but studies are first. Participation
in student activities, membership in various organizations and on
athletic teams, entrance into class politics, all these hinge upon
scholastic standing. Tln-y come as the rewards for faitoful work in
school. And it is rightly so because such requirements prevent un
balanced training which it is the aim of the college cjurse to avoid.
The warning of Dean Engberg is timely because it gives all ample
opportunity to understand, and in understanding, to fulfill.
STUDENT OPINION
The Daily Nebraskan will be glad to print in its Student Opinion
column short articles from students and members of the faculty
bearing upon issues of direct concern to the University. H wants
to know what other people think. Contributors are asked to sign
their names as an evidence of good faith although they be withheld
from publication upon request. If you have opinions upon matters
of student life and conduct, give expression to them through Ihe
columns of the Nebraskan.
DOWN HILL
Colleges this fall east' and west are reporting an enormous
registration. Here in Chicago, Northwestern and the University of
Chicago have both the largest undergraduate attendance in their
history. The professional schools are also crowded. But except in
the department of science, the graduate schools are not large. In
some cases, indeed, hey are smaller than usuai.
The reason is not fur to so.?!'. The graduate ctudents of science
are in many cases planning to go into busine33. Chemistry, botany
and geology in particular offer attractive opportunisms. Rut in such
fields as economics, modern languages, history and philosophy, the
graduate school leUJ vUber to teaching or to nothing And the
vital .'liass of oi- srusl young men in ihis cc. . todaj are con
vi'jiw 'ha t;fc;-!.-y -"id totliirg one nn J 'h si.n. aa far as
prospects go.
They may be wrong. There are today the same compensations
Inherent in the teaching profession that there always were. It gives
a certain dignity, a certain leisure, a certain opportunity o satisfy
the heart that inquires for truth. And these are very real rewards
to some.
But the last few years, indeed the last few months have driven
home the belief that the ordinary college teacher does not get p.iy
enough to bring up a family decently. They have convinced young
men that when a college teacher proposes marriage he is offering
the girl a gold brick. He is neither purely selfish nor in love with
celibacy.
Therefore he makes up his mind to do anything except teach,
and when he asks older teachers for advice they are half-hearted
In setting forth the advantages of their own profession.
What this means exactly is that the next generation will not
be trained aa well aa the last. It means that education will go down
hill. And a nation to which bill altogether.
The remedy is in the bands of the public. It is applying It
slowly, but very slowly. More speed Is neceasary, or the effect will
come too late. Chicago Herald Examiner.
