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). --

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.
