The man who is most to be wanted for positions of trust is the
one who does not work for mere selfish gains, but for the love of the
task.
HIGH ROOM RENT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
Ever since Henry Ford threw a monkey wrench into the ever
increasing high prices by reducing the price of the jitney ten to
twenty per cent, Nebraska students have been eagerly waiting to
have their expenses pared down to halfway meet the computation
cost of the University catalogue. Still student expenses are not com
ing down, they have in fact more than doubled since last spring.
There is no justification for this enormous increase of student ex
penses over last year. For example, room rent has jumped from ten
to twelve dollars to an average being paid this year of twenty to
twenty-five dollars. Why this increase? Building materials have de
clined, real estate is not advancing, and there are no coal bills to
speak of until December first.
The answer is that a large amount of propaganda concerning the
shortage of rooms was sent out from Lincoln this summer and there
fore this fall the new students submitted to the exhorbitant rates, be
cause they feared that there was an insufficient supply of rooms in
the city. This is not the case since you find rooms for rent every
day in all the papers.
What is the trouble with the commission whose duties are those of
investigating fair rooming prices to all students attending the University?
SCHOLARSHIP.
"For the purpose of needed agitation along a line -which is receiv
ing less and less attention at the hands of the student body, we sug
gest that what ought to be uppermost in' the mind of every student
is scholarship. The student in the last analysis is the man who
studies. Because we study or supposed to study, we are distinguished
from the rest of mankind and called students. To this distinction no
man ought to be eligible unless he puts in at least 51 per cent of his
time on his books, and receives a grade which, barring accidents in
examinations, is the minimum of scholastic efficiency.
Ths pedantic truism is dug up from a simple but persistent past
because people still tell us that the main thing to do at the University
is not to "grind," but that the main thing to obtain in the University
is not a high grade. Some even go so far as to say that the main
thing to be gained in the University is not the capacity to think.
Still everything a man wants to do in this University depends on
his scholarship. You can not make an athletic team to save your
life unless you are making a passing grade in your hours. Even lor
the privilege of pushing this pen you have to produce a statement of
your scholastic standing from the Registrar. Scholarship, so far as
the efficiency of the University is concerned, is still the main thing to
take with you.
Remind yourselves now, that all your collateral activities depend
on your record as a student The most valuable possession of an
active student is his report book. It is the foundation for all his
froth; his every channel for letting off surplus steam. If you can not
make' a mark as result of natural wit, and Unievrsity standards are
happily excluding that kind of mark you can at least make a grade
that is a product of hard work.
Duty, a sense of obligation to the society for whose work we
prepare, directs our wandering eyes back to the books. The Fresh
men thinks we students study. His parents think we study. The
general public thinks we students study. And upon that opinion they
willingly pay taxes for our support. And we might as well remember
that the aid of all these necessary elements of public opinion is best
gained when we. for whom this great University was founded Join
with the people in making it essentially the workshop of the
SCHUis ttierefore incumbent upon the student body to follow Dean
Engbergs recommendation and keep Monday. Tuesday, WEDNESDAY
and Thursday nights sacred for study.
THE UNIVERSITY AND THE COURTS.
Nebraska has a vast amount of tennis material which is going
to wast year by year because or the lack of tennis courts. The
present number of courts Is so small that very few students are ever
able to get ontc ihem. It is hoped that the cry which goes up from
the student body and the athletic department will reach the ears of
those who are so situated that they can be of assistance in getting
more courts on the campus. The present attitude of athleticauthort
ties at the University Is a hopeful one. They feel that the students
who like tennis should keep in trim in order that lnter-collegiate
matches, at least, might be held in the near future and these the
present courts would probably accommodate. However, when we
look to the eastern college world we see tennis courts which dot
their fields far and wide. Numbers of courts are located at Prince
ton Harvard. Yale. Columbia and other large institutions. Nebraska
ranks high as a University and the weak spot in the lack of sufficient
tennis court accommodations should be remedied at the earliest pos
