A SERIOUS MATTER
Accounts of thieving in the girls' locker room of the gymnasium
have been reported more than once this year. Recently two "co-eds"
found their pocketbooks, which they had left with their clothes in
the locker room while attending a "gym" class, lying open on the
floor and the entire contents, in money, missing. Just before the
Christmas recess, The Daily Nebraskan published an article telling
of the robbery from a student, of seventeen dollars, her entire earn
ings for some time. The girl, who was working her way through
school, was heart-broken. Her holiday plans were spoiled, as all her
gifts were to have been bought with the money she lost.
Such thefts deserve the utmost condemnation. In addition to
the violation of all ethics and moral principles, such hardship may
be womed upon a student who is earning the money to pay her ex
penses, that she may be compelled to forego her education. Deeds
cf this sort reflect upon the fair name of the university. May the
student standards be such that repetition of these and like offenses
will never occur.
WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE SINGLE TAX?
About two years ago students voted for the addition of the
single tax at Nebraska. Before the measure could be put into effect,
ii had to be passed upon by the university senate. The matter was
put before that body and has not been heard from since. What has
become of the single tax proposition?
IT'S THE ENCORE THAT MAKES LYING DIFFICULT
I have long considered issuing a warning to liars so here goes.
We all are tempted to decorate the truth. Frequently the truth
is no Illy so we like to paint it.
But we have one human frailty which, particularly when it comes
to our wanting to tell a lie, is exceedingly bothersome and that i:
our poor memories. We don't realize bow often we tell the same
story twice, and we don't realize how hard it is to tell the same
story twice alike, especially if It isn't true. You recall the old
Hoosler saying, "I reckon that a man in order to be a good liar
must have a wonderful memory."
There Is no doubt that it is easier to tell the truth than it is to
tell a lie and then try to repeat it. Test yourself on this. Suppose
somebody asks you what size hat you wear. If you tell the truth
about It you won't have any trouble answering the same question
a month from now. But if you He about it you may not recall the
lie you told, and find yourself puzzled.
That is how this editorial happened to be written only it wasn't
the size of a man's hat that got him into trouble, but the size of
his salary. A friend of mine had two interviews with a man whom
he was considering for an Important job. The interviews were three
months apart. At the first Interview the man was asked what
salary he got. He mentioned a certain figure. At the second Inter
view the same question was asked and a different figure was men
tioned. It so happened that my friend's connections were such that
he could get at the truth. He did get at it, and found that both
figures were lies. That ended the negotiations for the new job.
As a race we human beings are pretty clever. We can move
about the monkey cage (called the world) with considerable agility.
Put' the liar's trapeze is beyond thereach of most of us. We can't
swing up to it without great danger of falling and getting hurt. The
American.

THE DAILY DITTY
by
Gayle Vincent Grubb
Be seated friends, and listen to
A liberal chunk of gaff,
That has caused the dumb to titter
and ,
The wiser ones to laugh;
To wonder why and wherefore, or.
Which or even what;
To wonder if the nuts are dead
Or whether they are not.
A gang of dames held council with
A similar gang of men,
And agreed to hold an eatfest and
Decided where and when;
And Ihe dames they were to cook the
stuff.
The bounders were to buy;
And the bounders were to tlx the time
The party'd best get by.
Well, Saturday was the day they fixed
To kill the fatted steak,
So they met when the dew was lu avy
yet
And most of them half awake.
While" they ale and gossiped fluently
'Till all the platters gleamed
And each soul seemed well satisfied
And each one's lookout beamed.
But in this age when man is ma'i
And women second rate
Although, perhaps the latter say
I'm wrong, that's what I state;
The knitting bees and pink teas i-re
For they who wear the skirls
And not for men, take no offense the
Whole truth never hurts.
