The track season, according to the signs of spring, is here and all plana for a record breaking season have been made. Meets have been scheduled here and at other schools and Nebraska should be looking forward to them with pride. From Dame Rumor, we hear that real material is here at hand to make one of the best track line upb in this part of the country. The coaching staff has made every effort to encourage and work up this sport which formerly was a real art in our athletic department. nut the spirit does not seem to be here. In spite of all that has been done and said for the work, the men are not responding with true Nebraska loyalty and enthusiasm. Training has been going by spurts and this is a most discouraging situation to meet, Nebraska University has real talent and real coaching, and with the right atti tude should make good. It is up to you, track men, to come up to the hopes and expectations of the student body. Athletics of a college or university play a large place in that col lege life and it is the pride of every school to have a winning team to represent them. Our football season, taken as a whole, was a very successfully one and the basketball record for 1920 is indeed one to be proud of. Is Nebraska to fall behind in track at the sectional and national meets this year, simply because of lack of enthusiasm? Let's pet down to work and make that record as great as the pros pects warrant. This is Nebraska's "red-letter" year, Husker speed sters, and we are looking to you. THE HONOR SPIRIT. One of the interesting subjects under discussion this semester has been the Honor Spirit and arguments for and against it have come from all directions. Today the Student Council presents for your con sideration the proposed plan of that system at Nebraska. Whether you believe in it or not, it might interest to you to consider the mat ter and know exactly that the installation of such a plan would mean here. Read over the proposition offered and at least form some kind of an opinion of it. You may be asked more about it later and will want to be able to discuss it one way or the other. COLLEGES AS "LEVELLERS." The increased interest which is being taken in higher education by the youth of the nation is beginning to make itself felt in the change of attitude towards democratic institutions, and in the differ ent light with which non-university men are beginning to regard uni versity men, for the ideals which they personify. The traditional snob and social parasite which the lay imagination used to people a college campus have for the most part disappeared. Men and women attend college to work and to improve themselves and to Increase their earnning capacity. Students no longer look down upon the man or woman who is forced to work his or her way. The type of student who enters college upon his own personal resources is becoming very frequent. He is the type who invariably makes good, because he has learned to take life as it Is, to know men, and above all is not afraid to soil his hands with honest toil in order to obtain his object. The establishment of the land grant colleges has done much to pave the way for the ambitious youths, who before, had little chance to fight their way to the top. Because a college campus can be made one of the most undemo cratic communities in existence, the majority of the students at the great universities of the country are constantly on the alert to over come this tendency. This is especially true at large universities where the fraternities embrace a larg portion of the student body. Because the Greek letter organizations were originally much more exclusive than at present they suffered under the criticism of being undemocratic. But the times have changed, and the fraternity as a college institution has become one of the positive factors for main taining democracy on its respective campus, because its existence de pended on it. In a few colleges the fraternities have changed but little beyond the fact that their membership and number have in creased. Such organizations which have failed te perceive the trend of the times however are doomed to ultimate disaster. Institutions of this nature which tolerate organizations on. the campus which by the very inherent nature of their make-up are patrician are doomed to death under the fire of public opinion and public sentiment. They are the institutions which have caused a certain prejudice to be attached to fraternities which for the most part is very much un deserved.

It reduces working conditions to a plane of absolute fairness; it insures uni form observation; and it safeguards the accuracy of the data revealed. A thorough trial of the power capacity and fuel economy of 16 different tractors was scientifically made at the Central States Tractor Sales Show in Evansville, Ind., by William Aitkenhead. Associate Professor in the Division of Farm Mechanics of Purdue University. A perfect performance for each tractor was made possible by the non-slipping qualities of Goodyear Klingtite Belts. Each machine was connected in turn to a Prony brake by either a 75- or a 100-foot Goodyear Endless Klingtite Belt, chosen to insure uniform transmission on all the trac tors throughout the test. Load and speed were varied to determine horsepower, and fuel economy was registered in a 30-minute run at 80 per cnt of maximum load capacity. The tests revealed both the relative economy of the tractors and the high value of belting efficiency in tractor operation. The Good year Klingtites were called on to perform at speeds ranging from 2040 to 4500 feet per minute, and to transmit horsepower varying from 18.60 to 39.80, according to the ability of the machine and the immediate object of the trial. There was a further testing of the belting in that it had to be changed over continually from one tractor to another, proving its flexibility and its special Goodyear quality that " needs no breaking in. " "The Goodyear Belts showed practically no slippage," Prof. Aitkenhead reports. "It was remarkable the way they held to the pulleys, even when the lineup was not per fect. The behavior of these belts was very gratifying to a person accustomed to the tendency of ordinary belts to develop a violent sidewise motion when the pulleys do not happen to be in line. Under the high best speeds of some of the tractors, the Goodyear Belt showed its ability to take the pulley without flopping." Equally profitable results are reported by farmers who put their Goodyear Klingtites to the year-' round service test of actual work. Their everyday experiences agree with the scientific report. Students and teachers of agriculture will find in the Good year Farm Encyclopedia much interesting material on the place of belting in farm economics. A letter to the Mechanical Goods Department.
