Because The Dally Nebraskan wishes to serve the students of
the university in the best possible manner and to cause no inconveni
ence to subscribers, the paper has resumed issuance after having
suspended publication a week during the fuel shortage restrictions.
The paper will continue to be published throughout the week in spite
of adverse conditions. No heat at any time and no light after six
o'clock In the office are no slight disadvantages in cold weather. The
staff and the reporters however are making all efforts to carry out
the policy of the paper to print all the news when it is news, and we
are pleased to announce that, in spite of revised schedules, The Daily
Nebraskan will continue to be at the daily sen-ice of subscribers.
CAMPUS BOLSHEVISM
Propaganda for the purpose of arousing sentiment in lavor ol
closing the university appeared on the campus last week in the shape
of handbills which stated that, although the people of the state were
suffering and business was paralyzed from lack of coal, Lincoln n er
chants, "to satisfy their own gluttinous greed lor the almighty dol
lar." are denying coal to essential industries and forcing the students
to remain in school. The word gluttinous we print as it appeare.i on
the bills.
The propagandaists did not confine their efforts to the can pus;
one of the city newspapers published a story which told of the print
ing of the bills as a result of a mass meeting of students, at which
resolutions were passed condemning the action ol th board of regents
In not closing school. The story was so presented that It appeared that
the meeting was attended by a large number of students and was ex
pressive of the sentiment of a majority of the students, investigation
has shown the whole thing to have been the work of a mere handful of
students.
The affair savors of bolshevism, not to say anarchy. Thee regents
have the best interests of the university at heart, and came to their
decision only after a careful consideration ol the matter. Does the
university community not resent the action of a dozen students who
would make it appear that the students in general are rebelling against
the decision rendered by the governing board of the university?
We believe that the students of the university do not stand behind
the action taken by a few agitators, and that they wi.-h to make no
such indictment against the board of regents and the merchants of
Lincoln. .
SHELVING YOUR IDEALS
This thing of doing as the Romans do may always be carried too
far. Individuality is supremacy, because It implies that you are be
cause you have right to be. It means that you possess a thing rare,
unus'uL nd valuable that every one in the world does not possess.
So much argument is advanced to the effect that university peo
ple should adapt themselves to conditions as they find them, that a
great misunderstanding may accrue as to just what this adaption
means. It means getting acquainted with many personalities so that
you may choose and follow in the foot-steps of those whom you most
emulate. It does not mean submergance to everyone's particular
whim, because the man who could satisfy all opinions or policies
would be peculiar, and not much good in the long run. Adaption
rather means locating your group and standing by those ideals which
through asiMciation or training you deem most valuable.
At band we have a suggestion that contains a vivid truth, ."Many
men and women enter college with high ideals. Some of these they
lose sight of at least temporarily because of a conflict with plea
sure or something else that would appear to pay better dividends."
False Idsals are the only ones that should be extinguished. Why shelve
those attributes of character which the university will help mold a
sane form of expression? Without any ideals at all a person is
practically nonentity. Not standing for anything he might just as
well cease to stand.
Ideal cannot be put upon a reserved shelf. They cannot be
hunted P to suit a particular occasion. They either live or they are
soon destroyed entirely through the

"I save two to two and one-half hours daily on a 22-mile
milk route with Goodyear Cord Pneumatic Truck Tires
and find milk travels in better condition than in my
:,olid-tired trucks. Three teams would be required
to do the same work done by the pneumatic-tired
truck." Frank Leibel, Farmer, Newbrighton, Minn.
MANY farmers, like the one quoted
above, know that a pneumatic
tired truck saves much time, drudgery
and expense.
They know that this is a very valuable
saving in these days of high labor costs
and when markets must be reached
more promptly than ever.
For pneumatic tires free a motor truck
from the handicaps imposed by solid
tires; they give it utmost traction and
cushioning for all-round utility.
Rural users of Goodyear Cord Pneu
matic Truck Tires load in the fields,
reduce market hauls by hours and get
top prices for perishables and livestock.

STUDENT OPINION
An Appeal to the Student Body
To the Editor of the Daily Nebraskan:
A large number of handbills have
been promiscously scattered and
placed about the cit Hnd campus of
the university. The aim of these
handbills is to influence the public
opinion in such a way so as to cause
the closing of the university. They
are outspoken in their estimate of
their doubt of the character of the
business men of the city as well as of
members of (he Board of Regents. As
a member pf (he student body and
one interested in this large universi
ty. I believe (hat a reply to that hand
bill should be made In Justice to my
self, to other students who feel as I
do. and to correct any possible mis
take that the public may (ake of the
opinions of the body of university stu
dents. To begin then, who got up and
caused to be distributed, these hand
bills? The handbills give no lue.
Thpv are anonymous and one should
always be slow in reading and be
lieving work of (his nature. Then too.
what will be the probable result of
the handbills? The chances of the
university being closed, because of the
effect on the morale of (he student
as he continues his studies and here
i where the grea(est harm comes in.
because of this, the effect of the hind
bills is larger than might be sup
posed. From the contents of the bills tnem
selves one Is led to believe that the
continuation of the classes will be a
source of suffering (o ou(side interests
while giving no benwrfts to the stud
ents obtaining the graneo privilege
of warm rooms. Does the author or
the bills realize why we have a uni
versity, why men and women are In it
rom all parts of this state, all states
of the union, and from nations of
the globe? Do they realize that these
students have come here not for
pleasure but for work? Do they real
ize that of the men and women tuined
out by this university, that they are
going out, not to gain riches or glory,
but to serve society and be the serv-
(''pvr:tflit
"nts of the people? A great man has
eaid "Of the students graduating from
college,, one-third are never heard
from, one-third go to the devil, and
,ne third rule the world." For the
sake of the one-third who shall be
ulers, let us avoid any mentioning
of cessation of studies.
In the present epoch in which we
live, during the" continual unrest of so
ciety due to the new conditions in
which the society of the world flnds it
self, such outbreaks from the ranks
of the student body to wave the red
flflag, are lamentable. When (he goy
ernment of this organized society is
trying to secure return to stable and
normal conditions, when ts-mizailons
of any description find it hard to pre
serve favorable conditions, we should
all do our best to do our Dlt to help.
And this cannot be done when a min
ority of a class make a demonstration
as has happened.
The reflection which the Import of
the handbills lays on the inability of
the school authorities to know how lo
handle the present situation in a Just
manner is deplorable. To those who
are here to study and learn, to. thoso
who believe in organization and a
square deal, I make the appeal of
reason. Let us remembor inat Abra
ham Lincoln could not stretch his
legs over a radiator nor could he
turn In to bed simply because he didn't
have any juice on the electric switch.
We are inconvenienced as to physical
comfort, but this will be adjusted and
we are not inconvenienced as to our
search for knowledge.
Let the good work go on!

By helping other power-driven farm

trucks enable
farmers to secure the full benefit of

While pioneering the development of
pneumatic truck tires Goodyear has
widely investigated the benefits secured
by farmers employing them as above.
