THE MAKING OF A MAN.
"Man's tfeetiny HeUy In his own
haii.ds," once said a great philosopher.
Each and every day this is more
strongly impressed upon the minds of
those wh watch the development of
young men into manhood. The man
. with the courage of his convictions
and the nerve to carry through his
plan3, the power to formulate his
ideas and the push to carry them out
will succeed. There is nothing to
stop him. He i3 a leader not a fol
lower. He always has that "on top"
sort of an air and hope is eternal
within him. He never loses heart
and comes back with interest after a
defeat. A good sound whipping only
makes him fight the harder for suc
cess. He has the spirit of light, the
unbeatable virtue of purpose, the
never-knocked-out spirit of stick-to-it-iveness.
As the eminent botanist,
Luther Burbank, once said, "Just be
cause a plant is raised a weed is no
reason it must remain one." There
is no place that this is more ap
plicable than in the life of a man.
He can win success if he is built of
the right stuff.
IN DEFENSE OF THE WEST.
The Huskers have gone east to de
fend the west in football. The Ne
braska eleven will meet two strong
gridiron aggregations during the
week. Tomorrow Rutgers must fall
before the Huaker onslaught and
Saturday we will hear of the down
fall of Penn State. The student
body should be deeply Interested in
this week of great events. It is
great especially for Nebraska and Ne
braska students. This is the longest
trip that the Cornhuskers have taken
since the Washington trip several
years ago but in importance it out
strips the Washington trip by far.
On this trip the Nebraskans will ex
hibit western skill against eastern
skill and western brawn and brain
against eastern brawn and brain be
fore the largest crowd Nebraska has
ever played before at the Polo
Grounds in New York City. It is
truly a great week for Nebraska.
The team is putting her on the map.
This is the beginning of a new era
for Nebraska and within a few years
it Is possible that there will bo a
number of long itineraries not only
for Nebraska but for other large uni
versity and college teams.
CONCERNING THE CAR SERVICE.
To those of us who are by virtue of
our course compelled to attend classes
on the Farm campus as well as the
city campus, traction car service is
of no little concern. The service
given on the Farm line by the Trac
tion Company has in agricultural
circles become the prevailing subject
of conversation. It has ceased to be
a joke and has assumed the propor
tions of a menace to our Institution.
Today there is no more semblance of
repl car service between the two
campuses than there was of prohibi
tion at a political convention twenty
five years ago. To be sure, every
once in a while the hideous racket of
one of the Lincoln Traction Com
pany's lavishly equipped, one-man
gaboons can be audibly perceived
careering down the streets of the
city like a Texas tornado. Then for
an extended Interval this phenomenon
is not repeated.
The interval between trips ranges
from twenty minutes to a half hour,
the half hour run or ' thereabouts
being most common. The car sched
ule, as set forth by the company, calls
for a run every eighteen minutes. It
can be said without undue partiality
and with great respect for conserva
tism of statement that rarely does a
car make a round trip in less than
flftT minutes. And since two actual
round trips consume within eight min
utes of as much time as three sched
ule trips are supposed to use up,
these eight minutes (mere pauses for
the conductors in their monotonous
work) are delightfully idled away at
tfc line's tnd with exasperating in
difference to the needs of society
which public service corporations ana
Boclal monopolies such as the Lin
coln Traction Company are under
obligations by contract to satisfy. .
It is not here intended to question
or antagonize the Integrity of the
street car conductors In the perform
ance of their duties. They are, in
deed, holding their own as well as
can be expected. Dut the sincere
Intention here is to voice a warrant
able dissatisfaction with the Bervlce
that the Lincoln Traction Company
officials are daring to give us. They
know as well as we do that the- serv
ice is inadequate. Time and again
have complaints been filed denounc
ing the service as miserable. Mem
bers of the University faculty who
have failed in their attempts to get
some favorable action by appeals
through higher University officials
have resorted to personal protests,
but to no avail.
The problem which confronts us
now is serious. Cut what is it going
to be this winter when inclement
weather impedes the service to a still
greater degree? Will the Regents,
the Chancellor, or anybody vested
Willi the power and the influence to
get action on this unsolved problem,
agree to let such abominable and in
excusably poor quality of service go
on? Some people seem to have en
tirely lest sight of the fact that a
few years ago when the question of
union or continued separation of the
two companies was opened to a vote
of the people of. Nebraska, the pres
ence of adequate, sufficient and
readily accessible car service be
tween the two campuses "was the
strongest plank In the platrorm for
their continued separation. Moreover,
the1 raction Company's franchise,
granted by the city of Lincoln, calls
for car service in proportion to the
needs of the public." The need is
here, but the service is woefully
lacking. How much longer will the
city patiently hope for better develop
ments before it takes drastic steps to
compel the second party of the con
tract to carry out his obligations?
How much longer will the University
submit to such disregard for its de
velopment and progress, and permit
itself to be buffaloed into acquiescence
to such dishonorable measures?
This year the enrollment in the
College of Agriculture is smaller by
a few hundred than last year. Our
faculty, though, has been supple
mented and markedly strengthened.
Our equipment has been gieatly in
creased. Our whole agricultural in
stitution has been expanded. The
tools of the educational administra
tion are at hand prepared to teach
thousands. But the students, the sub
jects, the very cause for the creation
and extension of our educational
facilities, are becoming fewer in
number. It is an alarming condition,
indeed. But there must be some
cause, some outstanding reason why
this undesirable trend is becoming so
manifest in the College of Agriculture.
Briefly, it may be attributed to the
absence of connection between the
Farm and city campuses. The two
have become independent of each
other. The Farm campus is isolated
to the extent of three miles with no
sufficient means of conveyance join
ing it to the city campus. Students
no longer will submit to inconveni
ences coincident with such a condi
tion of affairs. While at school they
are paying dearly for service and it Is.
accordingly, not only their privilege,
but also their indisputable right that
uiey receive a just return lor their
expenses. If Nebraska is unwilling
to furnish the goods there are other
educational institutions close at hand
which can, and readily will administer
to the wants of people in quest of an
education. It, therefore, stands us in
dire need to correct this vicious
wrong, and insist upon decent and
adequate car ervice on the Farm
line.
The people of Lincoln and Ne
braska will' it; the University needs
it; the progress of the College of
Agriculture demands it.

Annual W. S. G. A.
Party Last Saturday
The annual W. S. G. A. party was
given Saturday. The program being
given at the Temple theater by last
year's Commission girls. They pre
sented a Christmas carol in Panto
mine, every one enjoyed it immensely
and thank the Commission girls for
being so well entertained. After the
program the girls went to Ellen Smith
hall where dancing was enjoyed. The
hall was decorated in University
colors. During the last part of the
afternoon refreshments were served
to about a hundred girls. The V. S.
G. A. had planned on more girls but
they realised that the students had
been going until they were tired and
wanted a rest.
Every one had the best time, and
many new acquaintances were made.
Be sure and watch for the next, party
gien by the V. S. G. A. It will be
a cosl utne party and will be given
about December 4.
Engineers Prepare For

progressing rapidly. Arrangements
have been made allowing Engineers,
who wish to try out for the team, to
be excused from 5 o'clock classes on
Tuesday and this is expected to bring
out a number of gridiron performers
to try for the team.

Did vou ever hear about the little
expressions that defeat themselves?
In a word, they are the latest and
most popular of slang phrases. Not
only In restaurant, hotel lobby, boiler
loom, lie (.paper office- and packing
plant are tlieso children of the alert
mind born, but the college campus Is
a splendid place for them to begin,
for there they find the most encour
agement to thrive and to expand.
I believe these trite expressions
which mean absolutely nothing origi
nated in the "funny-papers." They
surely cannot have had a very seri
ous origin. If they are children of
the mind, they must have had their
beginning in a mind not overloaded
with real gray matter.

Thirty-five boys, coming from every
grade school in the city, spent tDl
morning inspecting the power plant,
the woodworking laboratories, and
other features of the building. The

fine tools which was being run in the
auditorium of the building proved the
center of attraction for the visitors.
They were especially interested in
watching the operation of the moving
