STORY HARDING
For Tia Issue
WILL THEY COME HALF-WAY?
Much comment has lately been heard about the campus on the
attitude of many of the professors towards students. Ii is even
claimed by some more radical ones that most of the Nebraska pro
lessors make no attempt to acknowledge greetings from the students
in their classes although they seem to know them very well in class
when a recitation is in order. While this is a rather extreme state
ment of the fact, it is true that many of the accused professors have
a habit of putting on a distant and rather forbidding manner outside
of the class room.
In times past the explanation was often given that professors
were usually so absent-minded that Uu-y did not remember their stu
dents at all. But today we feel that our instructors are too up-to-date
and modern to be hampered by that fault. Perhaps one reason why
certain members of the raculty apparently ignore their students or
admirers is because they are thinking of so many other things that
personalities fade into the background. Iin dealing with problems "en
mass." the tendency is to forget the smaller interests of individuals.
Nevertheless, this is discouraging to the student body, and espe
cially to Freshmen who. still remember the personal influence of high
c!,ool teachers, are puzzled by the new atmosphere. They feel dis
tinctlv rebuffed and "put in their place." as well as somewhat indig
nant. This is om of the arguments used by parents who send their
sons an .laughters to private schools that there is too much of the
take care of yourself attitude. Would it not be possible to estab
lish a more personal touch between students and the faculty members,
at least between professors and members of their classes?
LOOKING BACKWARD.
With the announcement of the final plans tor all Senior pre
sraduation social affairs, conies the straight blow asain that school
is nearing the close. Soon the haughty Seniors will be able to look
hack and say. "Now when I went to the University." etc. And the
Freshmen may say pompously. "Oh. yes. fin a Sophomore at Ne
braska." The question is-just where are we now? With a University
certificate or the record of one years work in college, have we really
made definite strides ahead? "What can you do?" is a big key word
to social and economic problems and not world problems but the
everv day's responsibilities of doing our little bit. It isn't "What
have you studied, did you make good grades, what certificate do you
hold'" Today it s "What are you rrepared to do for society?" Has
this -ar been a paying one for you?
The man with an income of $2,000 a year today receives just
s7i in value of the standard of 1913.
THE "BOOB" PUBLIC.
Mr. S. T. Meredith, who was recently appointed to the office of
Secretary of Agriculture blames what he calls the "boob" Public for
their inability and listless attempts to oppose the high prices imposed
by the dealer? in retail goods. According to him a new decalogue has
been wrought into the life fabric of the American Public upon which
its actions in regard to prices seem to be based:
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any wisdom precepts.
"Thou shall not stint, but shall beg and borrow, get into debt, and
make no effort to get out
"Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but thou shalt lay
aside nothing for a rainy day.
"Thou shalt covet thy neighbor's wife's sealskin, thy neighbor's
classy apartment, his new twin six, and bis man servant, and shalt
bock thyself and thy earning capacity to emulate him.
"Thou shalt not commit economy.
-Honor the Jaiz ruralc and the lobster palaces that thy days may
be long in penury, pauperism and destitution. Ad. lib." Purdue
