For This Issue
ARE YOU WILLING TO DO YOUR PART?
A cartoon recently appeared in the St. Louis Republic depicting
a sweating, straining man, bearing the label, "You and I." seated
very Insecurely upon a refractory tricycle, the larger wheel of which
was letter "Cost of living," and the smaller, "Income." Below the
picture was the legend, "Something tells me I'm about to take a
header." "You and 1" will admit that the cartoon Is a fairly accurate
representation of our position. Will we so readily admit that we are
helping to make the coat of living high because of unnecessary ex
penditures? How many of us are living beyond our Income? That
fur coat you got this winter is beautiful, and gives you lost of satis
faction when you appear In it on the campus, but you know that you
could have purchased Just as warm a coat, and a very good looking
one too. at a lesser price. It is a delight to "spring" a new hat often,
but you soon have a closetful of only slightly worn and still perfectly
good hata which you have discarded. Most of us realize that we buy
foolishly at times, purchasing things merely because they appeal to
us for the sake of their prettlness. and not because we have the
slightest need for them.
That the merchant will keep in stock what he sells most readily,
and will refuse to have on hand that for which there Is no demand
is a self-evident fact. And that the manufacturer will produce only
that for which he receives orders, and will not use his materials and
his workmen's time in making up articles which he cannot dispose of
to the retailer, is equally evident. The law of supply and demand Is
not to be gainsaid. "Give the public what it wants" Is the motto of
those who supply the public.
By refusing to buy the highest priced garments, by eliminating
useless expenditures, by refusing to purchase unnecessary articles,
the demand for them will cease. When the merchant no longer has
a call for them, he will stop carrying them In stock. The manufactur
er will discontinue their production when he finds he has no market.
The time which is being spent on the manufacture of costly, unserv
iceable garments will be devoted exclusively to the production of use
ful, sensible clothing, at moderate prices when the public demands
such. The man or woman who fails to see his or her duty, or who.
seeing it, falls to respond, is not a worthy citizen, and cannot com
plain of high prices. University students have their part to play,
just as do their parents and other citizens. Are you willing to do
your part?
STUDENT RADICALISM
"Reliable rumor" has made it known that New York's Board of
Education is drawing up a creed for school children. The New York
Globe has seen one draft and finds that "the child will be asked to
agree to revere and defend his country's fla, to respect and obey the
President and the laws, to support American ideals of fair play. 'In
cluding the Ideal of unhampered opportunity under the law for all.' to
put patriotism above other loyalties, and to 'oppose all revolutionary
movements, such as Bolshevism, anarchlsm.I. W. W,ism. or any move
ment antagonistic to the laws of the United States or tending to sub
vert the laws of the United States.' " The Globe does not pretend to
oppose the desirable ldvils of the educators, but scents a danger In
their methods:
"Some of the children will understand In a genei way what it
means. Of these most will sign without hesitation. Some won't.
These will be the children who will grow up Into thf wrong sort of
radicals If they are not taken in hand. The Board of Education will
take them In hand. If it follows precedents, by refusing them promo
tion or refusing to allow them to graduate in short, by driving them
out of the schod.X This win leave In the schools the children who
could not understand the board's creed, the children who understood
It In a general way and agreed with it, and the children who under
stood It, and did not agree with it, but for the sake of their diplomas
pretended to agree with it. The menace of Juvenile radicalism will
not have been removed. On the contrary, the young radicals who
were estopped from getting an education in the public schools will
be getting one in the anarchist Sunday-schools and out of pink period
icals and carmine pamphlets.
"If the Board of Education actually desires to eliminate rad
icalism from the schools it will have to use another method. It will
have to teach it out. It will have to hang on to the children who have
soaked up violently radical ideas and demonstrate to them that other
ideas are better. It had better not attempt to drive legitimate po
litical Ideas out of any student's head, whether such Ideas are radical
or not, for if a bosrd of education began to do this Jt might end by
trying to malie the students all Democrats or all Republicans." Liter

of every prominent person on the cam
pus are bound to come out. One of the
attractions of the evening again this
year will be the publication of the
Evening Shun, which will be distrib
uted during the performance. This
mock newspaper of truth and "nothing
but the truth," told In bold type, usual
ly contains Borne startling and Illumi
nating Information upon various dark
ened campus activities. The members
of the committee met Thursday morn
ing to launch the campaign for a
better and bigger evening of fun.
Ask for Skits
Already many Inquiries have been
received Ay the committee In regard
to the time when skits are to be sub
mitted Skits may be sent in at once
to the judges in charge for approval.
Letters have been sent to all organi
zations In school, asking that they pre
pare their sketches as soon as pos
sible. Last year skits were submitted,
in many, cases, too late to be cleverly
worked out and memorized.
All skits must be handed to the
judges not later' t.i.in January 21. This
will enable work on the playlets to be
ein at once, and aid In the return of
the skits to the committee for ap
nroval. The skit from "Ye tollers of
the law shop" Is looked forward to
by the committee, because In previous
years the skits of the laws have sac
rificed nothing for humor and Jest.
University Night is one of the real
traditinj of the University of Ne
braska. It summarizes In brief and
ludicrous form all the campus happen
ings of the school year, and many
dark scandals are tired for the first
time that evenlBj. Every student who
