News Editor STORY HARDING LEONARD COWLEY For This Issue UNTIMELY RADICALISM The student body and faculty are now discussing the flying of the red flag on University Hall. We wish to heartily condemn this deed as being absolutely unworthy of even serious consideration at the University of Nebraska. From all appearances, the people who put the scrap of red calico on the flag-staff might also have been the ones who so indignantly called all the newspaper offices in the city to give it publicity. Looking at the affair in this light, it seems but a silly joke, but one not at all apropos at this time. When university students, presumably, stoop to play such childish tricks, it is high time that they wake up to the fact that they are here for more serious purposes. The action in no way expressed the feeling of the tsudents as a whole and we sincerely hope that it will never be repeated. MORAL DON'T SKIP "One trouble about running away from duty is that life, like the world, may be considered Bpherical. If one keepB on running, he is sure to meet the same obligation again." This reminds of the time we Bkipped laboratory. It seemed ages before we finally got it made up. Never again! SUCCESS TAKES TIME AND EFFORT James A. Garfield, while president of Oberlin College, said: "When God wants to make an oak He takes a hundred years, but He only takes two months to make a squash." This could easily be applied to the student in college preparation, to the one who decides after a year or more of college that he is not getting enough practical work, that he would do better to take the good position offered him. Sta tistics show that In the long run the college trained man wins out In business, society and in the position he takes for right or wrong in the community. It might be interesting to note that most of the world's greatest men were not the "get-rich-qulck" types. Lincoln Is a good example of this for fn spite of proverty, practically no educational advantages, and little encouragement, he obtained a broad, if not technical, education and many of his writings are master pieces of history. Edison did not discover any of his marvelous In ventions in a day or a week. Great scientists have spent life-times In studying the problems which today we study. Any university student who is discouraged at not finding immediate recognition or success, should read the life histories of the world's great men who were not the squashy kind. QAULIFICATIONS FOR INSTRUCTORS Successful teachers are the best advertisement a school can put out. Do you students who are planning to teach next year feel that at the present date, you would come up to this definition of a real teacher? " 'It's an easy thing to be a teacher,' is the opinion held by many who have never tried to do it. 'Teachers only need to know their subject, and after the first year all they need to do Is to repeat what they gave the year before.' "The number of qualifications desired in a thorough instructor, points taken into consideration when her efficiency rating Is made out, are quite overwhelming. 'There are the following personal qualifications to be thought of: Physique, appearance, dress, bearing, general health, power of en durance, power of relaxation and recreation, voice, speech, sight and hearing. "Under moral qualifications the list becomes even greater. Here ' we have self-control, patience, optimism, sympathy, loyalty, industry, enthusiasm, sense of responsibility, tact, adaptability, sense of humor, Judicial mindedness, reasonableness, devotion to truth, felncerlty, sense for the democratic (not snobbish) appreciation of values (phy sical, mental, moral social, religious). "Administrative qualifications are next i norder. Under this list come such requisites as: Punctuality, originality, resourceful Bess, dispatch (celerity, promptness), leadership, initiative, economy of time and material, executive capacity, and cooperation with asso ciates and superiors. "The following are listed among the professional qualifications: Native mental capacity, scholastic attainments, vocational training, power as public speaker and writer, natural aptitude, classroom and laboratory skill, legibility and handwriting and drawing, power to gain attention and Interest of student, clearness Jn presentation and explanation, logical or coherent development of lessons, emphasis of Individual responsibility, professional interests (societies, books, Journals, travel). -- UNI NOTICES j Kappa Phi Kappa Phi, honorary fraternity for Methodist girls, will meet at Dr. Hun tington's home, 418 So. 27th Street, Wednesday, February 25, 7-8 p. m.

LUTHERAN STUDENTS' CLUB HOLDS FIRST MEETING Friday evening the Lutheran Stud ents' Club of the university held Its first regular meeting which was at tended by a large number of Lutheran students and the various Lutheran ministers of the city. The constitu tion, setting forth among other things the primary purpose of the club, namely, the furthering of the cultural interests of Lutberanism, was present ed and unanimously adopted. After the election of officers for the semester the club was addressed by Prof. J. Alexis and Rev. W. Man gers, both speakers emphasizing with great warmth the important work of an organization of this kind, and con gratulating the Lutheran students on the privilege of being instrumental in helping to co-ordinate the intellectual Interests of university education with those that are vital for the mainte nance of our common faith, thereby strengthening the bonds of loyalty be tween the university, our Lutheran stu dents and their respective church af filiations. The rest of the evening was spent at various games, followed by musical and humorous recitals. The entire meeting was characterized by great enthusiasm. The next meeting will be held the third Friday in March. MUSEUM CONTAINS MANY BABYLONIAN WRITING TABLETS Four thousand years ago in Baby lonia there was no paper; clay was the only writing material. When , a Babylonian would write a letter, he made a tablet of clay, from one to three inches long, stamped it with the wedge-shaped markB of his language, and baked it until It become like Btone. Scholars may now read upon these an cient tablets the literature, the his tory, the contracts and even the priv ate letters of a great lost nation. Recently in the ruin of a Babylon ian city, of about 2200 B. C, Arabs found several thousand tablets. Many of them have been purchased by Euro pean museums and others were brought to this country with the hope that teachers might employ them as object lessons to illustrate the books of the ancients and the sources of an cient history. , One of the most interesting cases of the university museum contains some of these tablets including a case tablet, that is a tablet within a tablet, a tablet from Drehem, one from Jokha, votive tablet from the temple at Warka, the biblical erach of Gene sis, and one of the largest and most perfect tablets from the temple ar chives at Drehem.
