NEBRASKA FIGHTS AND THE ,
"SINGLE TAX."
" Nebraska Fights" and has the
"punch" to come back was again
demonstrated in Saturday's game.'
The first half was an exhibition of
listless playing on the part of the
Cornhuskers, with the Coyotes fight
ing for every inch. But the second
half was a new story Nebraska
rallied and came back a fighting team
with a new drive, that pushed the
oval across the line for three touch
downs. Although Nebraska did not play up
to her standard during the first halt
the students were confident of vic
tory and showed the best spirit of
the year. The students responded to
every call from the cheer leaders
and cheered like they meant it with
that "never die spirit."
Cornhusker spirit and enthusiasm
has jumped with leaps and bounds
during the last three years. In 1917
eight hundred student ticnets were
sold, in 1918 sixteen hundred, in 1919
twenty-one hundred, and twenty-five
hundred for the 1920 season. This
year the students, have packed the
-south bleachers at every game. But
their is still room for a marked im
provement And this improvement
can only be reached by the "Single
Tax."
With the Single Tax in operation,
instead of having twenty-five hundred
loyal students at every game Ne
braska would be represented by prac
tically every student on the campus.
Football games are for students first
alumni second and the general
public last Nebraska should be
backed by five thousand students at
every game. We believe ?n student
democracy. But we hold a strong
conviction that the building of Corn
husker spirit is essential to the life
of every Husker student And that
each student by attending the athletic
contests will be brought into a closer
relationship with Cornhusker fellow
ship and spirit Every student should
share in the expenses of student ac
tivities. The "Single Tax" is the only
solution.
THE DIFFERENCE DEFINED.
In Friday's issue of the Rag-1 it was
reported that the College of Agricul
ture was defeated by the University
Place high school In a grlliron con
test This report was erroneous in
that It was the School of Agriculture
football team which was trounced by
the Holy City ball players.
Too often students of the Univer
sity who know so little about the
affairs of the Farm campus are in
clined to think of the School and
College of Agriculture as being syn
onymous. To be sure, both branches
of our Institution use the same build
ings and equipment and are instruct
ed in part by the same members of
the University faculty. But the truth
rt the matter is that they are not
identical. The College of Agriculture
is a separate and distinct college of
the Nebraska University in the same
sense that the College of Law and
v. riio- of Engineering are
definite colleges of our University
The School of Agriculture on the
other hand. Is merely a secondary
school, a high school, whose pupils
hare advanced no further in school
ing than to have creditably (?) fin
ished a course In the grades. Be
cause of the poor educational facili
ties afforded some agricultural com
munities these pupils of the School of
Agriculture are often well along in
years, and occasionally give the im
pression of being students. That
they are pupils, though, is beyond a
doubt In other cases, their youthful
appearance and behavior causes one
to wonder whether it would not be
advisable to have a "curfew toll the
knell of parting day." and in general,
administer the motherly care of which
they seem jn so dire need. And to
willfully accuse a member of the
College of Agriculture of being a
"School of Ag" is an unfailing and
Inexcusable means of aronsirg hip
warrantable wrath, and of kindling
his true Yankee spirit to an emphatic
and righteonn protest.
FRIENDS.
Friendship Is greatly undervalued
in the University. We do not realize
to the full extent the great part that
friendship plays in the scheme of life.
Real friends are few and when we
lose the friendliness of a man whose
regard we prize, it hurts. It seems
petty that we might lose a friend
because we are on opposite sides In
class politics. It is a sad thought that
rivalry in some activity can bring
about the loss of one's standing.
However, it often occurs and the
prize is not worth tho cost. If our
participation in some activity is going
to cause a friend to turn from us, it
seems as though this participation is
wrong.
While we are in college let us hold
fast to our friends and leave the
other things to the world. Four years
of friendship are surely worth more
than our little' mimic successes gained
here. If a principle is at . stake we
should fight with all our power, but
ii we are dominated by selfish
motives and want to be a "big man"
it is high time that the value of
friendship be realized so that
achievement may be a thing to prize.
NEBRASKA FIRST.
"Nebraska first, secondary things
where they belong," should be the
slogan of every Cornhusker. The
selfish desire of an individual or or
ganization for prominence nnd power
without regard for the interests of
the University at large is rrntrary to
American ideals and disloyal to every
Nebraska tradition. Students and or
ganized groups should begin to realize
that they can gain no more recogni
tion than that which the school af
fords them and that the only logical
and sure method to further their own
interests is to work in common with
others toward the ultimate ideal to
which the University is dedicated.
Concerted effort on the part of the
older students to uphold Nebraska
traditions and to encourage loyalty
and scholarship in every student
would place Nebraska where she
belongs.

THE POLITICAL SPEECH.
Greater than any issue today is the
kind of men we should elect to take
charge of the government administra
tion. Our problem when entiusted to
safe and trustworthy hands will find j
shape and solution. Just what men
should be elevated to public offices is
a study that demands analysis of our
candidates. A candidate may be
measured by his public record, by his
public conduct, by his grasp of pres
ent problems or by his spseches.
Unfortunately our political parties
attempt to make clear cut divisions
among our voters and allow their fol
lowers little liberty in the expression
of independent opinions. The party
platform, once the promise and the
faith that emanated from the candi
date, is now merely a contract drawn
by the constituency which is forced
upon the candidate to accept if he is
to get the party's support. This
leaves the candidate a limited self
expression and confines hi:r merely
within the terms of the platform
drawn for him. It is a condition
which has made the free choice of
candidates more difficult The party
machinery has doubtless contributed
reatly to the progress of democratic
governments, but on the other hand,
it should be recognized, its results
have not all been salutary.
The party machinery leaves little
power for the voter to exercise. Its
demands upon loyalty, party unity
and the like have created bossism
and party whips. This makes it more
difficult for a candidate to win on
personal merits alone. Nevertheless
within the sphere of the party plat
form, a candidate of considerable per
sonality may so express himself as to
give the people a just e6tiniPte of his
merits. The partisan speech is his
mode of expression. It is here where
he demonstrates his abilities to grasp
present problems, the qualities and
context of his statesmanship and the
scope of his vision. If he has a broad
mind he will leave nothing for the
people to doubt as to his stand on
Darticular Questions of the day. He
should not be devoid of a program so
as to be able to show to the people
from whom he asks support exactly
what he intends to do. The candidate
cannot help but be partisan, but in
making a partisan speech the popu
lace will demand an honest regard
for facts and truth. He will be
judged more by what he says than by
anything he will do. The Missourian.

Since the talk given by Dr. John
Timothy Stone of Chicago, at the
Committee of Two Hundred banquet
October 12 in the Scottish Rite
Temple, students at the University
have shown much more interest in the
study of the Bible. Many new stu
dents have enrolled in the Bible
classes of Lincoln churches since Dr.
Stone's address.
Classes for women will be held on
the campus beginning next week.
The first men's classes will open
their work on November 3. The
classes will be led by studeuts trained
in normal classes who will be under
the direction of the 6tudent pastors
and the secretary of the University
Y. M. C. A.
Forty classes are being arranged
for which will meet in student rooms.
The discussion method will be used
so that each student will have a part
in developing the course. The classes
ore in he held for Freshmen, but
upperclassmen will have the chance
to train themselves in leading discus
sion groups. Their experience will
satisfy a need that has long been felt
among church workers for leadership
of such groups.
The program for the women's
classes which will be held once a
week for six weeks in Ellen Smith
Hall are as follows:
Classes designed especially for
Freshmen and Sophomores.

Chancellor Samuel Avery explained
the work of the land grant colleges
in the presidential address which he
delivered at the thirty-fourth, annual
convention of land grant colleges that
was held at Springfield, Mass., last
week.
He emphasized the influence this
association can take in the advance
ment of higher ideals in education,
and particularly any chatige which
would help to maintain the degree or
efficiency in the work of investigation.
Chancellor Avery said in part:
"On the occasion of this anniver
sary, I recall with pride that in fifty
years there have been deve!oped ap
nroximately fifty well equipped land
grant institutions; that these institu
tions contain approximately 10.0UU
professors, investigators and resident
extension men; that even before the
war the property of these institutions
aggregated more than $13,000,000;
that the annual budget waa not far
from $32,000,000, and that the num
ber of students in residence totaled
6.000.
Influence for Good.
"Such an organized group working
together cannot fail to influence pro
foundly the thought and feeling of
those people 'whom they were chiefly
resigned to serve. Bound logether as
we are by similar ideals, this organ
ization is undoubtedly tho strongest
group of institutions of collegiate
rank in the world, and insofar as
higher education is applied to agri
culture we have practically an ex
clusive field. The influence, then
that this association may be able to
exert in the future is exceedingly
great.
"In serving the agricultural and in
dustrial classes we may do much to
convert what threatens to become an
erosive stream of personal and class
selfishness into a general irritation
current of public welfare, or at least
ot rational self interest
"Equipped with such material and
intellectual strength, a special serv
ice that the land grant colleges can
now render is to assist in the sane,
conomic and social transition from
the ideas of the past to the future
organization of society, a transition
inevitable as the result of the war
and the increasing class conscious
ness"
"deferring especially to agricultural
work in education. Chancellor Avery
said:

Denver Post: "Renfo was lured
