BOSKINQ Jiuslnesa Manager Telepbon Student Activities OUlce N. STORY HARDING, Managing Editor Kws Kditar for thl issue Jack Austin 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. "A" Club. "Ag" Club meeting and initiation at horse barn, Tuesday, October 26, promptly at 7:30.

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.

The classes ore in he held for Freshmen, but upperclassmen will have the chance to train themselves in leading discus sion groups.

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: More Pay Needed. By Ima Cuckoo. One law student to another Friday: Are you going to hear the general this morning at eleven o'clock?

A Boston shoe store advertises as follows : "Visit our enlarged misbes' depart ment." They must have been big Berthas ! The Post of Nottingham, England evidently believed that the bride in the case "carried on" when it pub lished the following: "The absence of the groom was not noticed until the ceremony was OVER." The London Daily Mail allowed the following to slip by its city editor: "The evidence plainly showed that the man was DEAD several hours before he was KILLED." Denver Post: "Renfo was lured to the vicinity of the place where he was killed by a telephone message Tuesday afternoon." He must have been shocked by the wire.
