STORY HARDING
For This Issue
AT IT AGAIN!
Vacation days are over and we're back at work again. The in
spiration of Phi Beta Kappa Day is past, mid-semesters are a dreary
memory, and it's too soon to begin to worry about finals. So we go
to school in a sort of daze, really wondering sometimes why we go.
Do you remember the good old days when vacation was the time
to spend the happy days roller-skating, kite-flying or playing
"migs"? The play-house in the big elder-berry tree was a model
kitchen and dress-making school and underneath, the walks were
streaked with hop-scotch lines. Then at night, bon-fires were built
along the side streets from the big street light and in each fire were
buried dried gourds. As the flames flared higher, the game of run-sheep-run
progressed, the shadows deepened so that the players
crept around the corners timorously then the gourds began to pop.
Those were in truth the days of the good old sport and memories of
those times are sweet.
Then came high school days when you got a "job" in the shoe
store, only to spend that hard-earned money on "the" girl every night
at the movies, or pass the evening in the family hammock with the
girl and a box of chocolates. Vacation then was a period of alternate
work and bliss, the work inspired by past or future, visions.
Now vacation days are mostly "sleep" days, when between naps,
you tell the "home folks" all that you forgot to mention in those more
or less frequent letters and try to explain how you can spend so
much money in such a short time. Of course there are always home
coming dinners and dances so that the time is pretty well filk
Then we all come back declaring that we had a wonderful time, while
it sems good to be here again just the same. Perhaps school isn't
so bad after all; we are always glad to start anew. From kinder
garten up, those elusive and rare weeks of rest have been long looked
forward to, and long remembered afterwards. Can it be that the
real beauty of the vacation is that we don't have it always? We are
all inspired to do some sort of work and the happiest man is the one
who has enough to keep him busy so that he cannot bother about his
neighbor's business.
UNI-WEEK AS ADVERTISING.
Tne University Week program was put out over the state as
publicity for the school, and in most cases was decidedly successful.
The three days "run" in each of the eleven towns gave th people in
those communities a glimpse of some of the various phases of work
that Nebraska University encourages. They had a chance to meet
representative students who could and did talk for University life
and educational advantages. In fact, they were living examples ot
what four years or less can do for any high school graduate. It is
to be hoped that the programs given in the high school auditoriums
and at the theaters gave more than one younger boy or girl the long
ing to come to Nebraska some day.
IN HIDING.
A recent number of the American Magazine contains an article
analyzing people's secret fears, those senseless bugaboos that with
hold capable persons from anything worth while. It urges the
"shrinking violets" to get into the game and make others realize that
their presence on this earth is of some import.
Numerous instances were given of men with personality plus push
who had made successes of their lives in comparison with others who
had had personality without the push. One particular example dealt
with two brothers' entry into college and their father's admonition
before their departure. The parent was certain that one of his boys
would have smooth sailing because of his abilities to mix and put
his abilities to work through contact with others. As to his other
son, the father was anxious that his backwardness should be over
come, or else his college career would be dull and uninteresting.
The illustration does not take the two boys farther, but one does
not have to go far to find them on the campus at Ohio State, the
able mixer and leader of his fellow-students and the shy, retiring stu
dent who is constantly holding himself in check because of some
unfounded fear. Occasionally this Imaginative sensitiveness is based
on the fear of failure. But how can the chances of fnilure.be known
without a trial?
Although there is a constant call for more men and women in
University activities, the voluntary supply does not fill the demand.
There is an ample supply of ability, but it is hidden away behind
foolish fears, and it cannot be drawn out until each student takes an
inventory of himself and finds whether or not his alibis are justified.
