Steele Holcom.be Campaign, which is being waged this week under the auspices of the University Y. M. C. A., deserves the support of every man who attends this college. The goal set is $1,500 ; the committees under trained captains are working hard; the only remaining essential to a successful drive Is the undivided sup port of every university man. Over one-fifth of the entire amount to be raised was pledged at a luncheon in the Y. M. C. A. Red Room Tuesday noon. Captains and campaign workers willingly gave $325 to help educate the natives in Cairo, and to teach them American ideals. Holcombe was a Nebraska graduate with the Class of 1917. He was well liked In Lincoln and throughout the state. He was a worker. Now he is endeavoring to accomplish big things. What will the men of the University of Nebraska give toward helping to make this hard load in a far-off land just a little lighter? How much are you going to pledge? "The folks who borrow trouble seldom need It." "The best way to prevent the world from talking behind your back is to face it." HAVE YOU PERSONALITY A man may be graduated from DePauw University with Phi Beta Kappa honors and prove a disappointing failure in after-college life. Many of them have. A student may be a faithful worker, and yet wield little or no influence among his fellows. Some of the members of the strongest fraternities on a university campus are regarded as men of light calibre. And this is the reason for many of life failures, and oftentimes 'for a lack of influence and a poor reputation the men are without personality. It is possible to be the most brilliant student in college, the most sincere worker in the school, a member of the leading campus or ganization and still be a failure. Usually the absence of personality will answer the query of why. Personality Is difficult of definition. It is not a tangible thing nor concrete. A man cannot lay his finger on one trait of character and say, "that is personality." And yet one cannot associate with others without instinctively knowing that some are more worthwhile than their fellows because they have personality. They are Individual though not necessarily to the point where they are obnoxious. Their talk, their actions, their thinking, ex presses character. They are leaders and discernment is one of their faculties. If college is to be a place where men are traln3d that they may be successful afterwards, then it must also be a place where men develop personality. And doing that means mingling with men. It means learning the ways of others and the ones that prove best. It involves sacri fice, for the surest road to companionship is doing things for others. It bespeaks humbleness for who will take a boaster Into his confi dence? It makes necessary a sincerity of purpose and a wealth of ideals as he who is false or without ideals cannot hope to gain last ing respect. Cultivating personality presupposes this and much more. But nothing is more worthwhile. The DePauw Daily. THE SHIFTERS Restlessnes becomes a mania among a certain class of students every year with the advent of finals. Some want to make a complete change of college, while others merely want to drop one course or add another. Nor I? this dissatisfaction always duo to failure In work. Its underlying cause is the same as that causing most "flunks" pure enimessness ana eventually it leads to lauures. This type of being has often been compared to the shifting sand, of which poets write at length. The comparison is still as vivid a one as could be desired. Those students who are constantly chang ing from place to place or from course to course, follow each the seemingly attractive influence and allow themselves to be easily per suaded that some other lot is much better than theirs, just as the sand is moved by each breath of wind or every drop of water. It is the rock that resists longest end it is the rock on which per manent structures are built. When constructing skyscrapers, the contractor sinks the foundations far below the clay and sand until he strikes bed rock. Then he knows he has assurance of stability. In choosing a college or a college course, the seeker of an educa tion should look for bed rock. Much dissatisfaction arises from carelessness at the time of making the initial choice. But after that choice is made, the student should regard that as a stable foundation and build upon it permanently. When looking for men or women to fill responsible and important positions, the heads of businesses will pick those who have shown firmness, and not those who have been swayed as are the shiftiug sands.
