THE SPIRIT OF THE SENIOR PICNIC.
The I'niversily o! Nebraska cannot claim to be tlie head of the
Mate educational system if it is not willing to assume the responsi
bilities involved therein. As the highest io.:it of school unit in our
state organization, it stands in a peculiar rosition with relation to
the many high schools over the state. Nebraska has some char
acteristic traditions which haw- been of groat interest to the high
school students who itnariably desire to duplicate them in their
schools, but with dubious results. Private schools and colleges are
absolutely free to establish and practice such traditions as they see
lit where a state I'niversity cannot.
In past years, the institution of Senior Sneak Hay became a
source ot much public criticism because it was imitated by the high
schools with local excesses which far surpassed the original I'niver
sity idea. In fad, the high school duplications in some schools were
so extreme that strenuous measures had to he resorted to in order to
precnt real damage. A few years ago, in order to be consistent in
its state relations, the I'niversity found it i ecessary to place a ban
on Sneak Pay and similar traditional events. Later this was modified,
insofar as the Senior affair was concerned, to permit the day to be
reinstated as an annual Senior Picnic, sponsored by the Chancellor
wi'li the full approval of the I'niversity auth r;ties.
I'niversity affairs are watched by outsideis so much more closely
than the student body realizes that it is necessary to take special
care to counteract false impressions. The authorities have no desire
to kill the school spirit, but rather only to check the unnecessar and
rather childish horse-play which is the leal objectionable feature. It
remains to be seen whether the student bo.;.v can administer a sys
tem of this sou so as to save this privilege lor the Seniors, or
whether because of a few irresponsible radicals, the Senior class as
a whole must be made to suffer.
THE "RAG" OFFICE TELEPHONE.
Nothing is more essential to a newspaper office. If it is to be an
efficient 1920 office, than telephones that wcrk at all times of the day
and night. The new campus telephones, that work occasionally ill
the daytime, and never after eight o'clock on week-days, and not at
all on Sundays, are serviceable perhaps lor lines that are not
burdened with numberless calls, but this svsteni is not applicable to
a newspaper office. Often, the most important "stories" of the day
do not "break" until after eight o'clock. This includes reports of
evening meetings, programs, plays and social functions. If there Is
no telephone service after eight o'clock what chance is there even to
call a wayward reporter and tell him to "cover" a "story?" We have
also found that eiv:. "central" at times has been taking a nap when
numbers were at a premium. Is there no remedy for this service, or
must the office of the Daily Nebraskan be handicapped by a dwarfed
system again in 1920-21, although it Is a trifle cheaper? N. S. H.
WHAT ARE YOU SHORT ON?
Kvery good business man makes an inventory of his stock once
a year. He carefully estimates his net income and ascertains where
in he profited and wherein he lost If his business has been a losing
one he makes radical changes; If it has been profitable he enlarges
upon the most successful business methods and culls out the others.
The most convenient time for the student to make his inventory is
at the close of the school year. While the business man calculates
his inventory and income solely upon the basis of money, the student
must view his development from three angler, physical, mental and
spiritual. In school the divisions are known as athletic, scholastic
and social. If the student knows just which he has neglected and in
which he has indulged too freely he will be prepared to make the
next year more profitable.

"There will be a Stadium, for out

hearts of the young citizen soldiery
by means of which tiiey may train for
the purpose of keeping the physical

future may have in store. This fea

young man in civil life, war or no
war. No less important is the gym
nasium which has an important place
in the general plan of the memorial
structures. It will afford ample facili
ties common to the up-to-date gym
and will be available to the young
men and women of the state whose
families bor3 some share of the bur

"Suitable roons will be set aside
for permanent headquarters for the
American Legion, the Grand Army of
the Republic, Spanish War Veterans,
and others, for which suitable provi

ture alone will meet a pressing need.
"Manifestly there are other fine
features of the Nebraska Soldiers
and Sailors' Memorial and these will
all be set out in due time.
"Meantime the committee requests
men and women throughout the state
to commmicate with the executive
secreUry pilfering active help in
this patriotic movement."
