It la a common thing for most of ua to throw our hats in the air when our men make a brilliant play but Tew have the happy faculty of bolstering up the team with their confidence when conditions are un favorable. After a losing fight com ment runs riot The qualities of the poor loser, whlcn can only be de scribed by a yellow daub of paint, gets the upper hand for a time. These victims forget that they are helping defeat their own team. They forget that they are helping to lessen the fame and prestige of Nebraska. Nothing boosts like a boost from within. Cultivate a sens of loyalty. HOW TO STUDY EFFECTIVELY. Dr. DanUl Starch, in his recent book on "Educational Psychology." quotes the following summary of rules for studying from Mr. G. M. Whipple's book, 'How to Study Effectively." All students, and par ticularly Freshmen, should preserve these rules and reread them frequent ly with a view to studying in a more intelligent and systematic way. 1. Keep yourself in a good physical condition. 2. Form a time study bablt. 3. "When possible, prepare the ad vance assignment in a given subject directly after the day's recitation in it 4. Work Intensely when yoa work:: Concentrate. 5. Do your work with tie Intent to learn and to remember. 6. Seek a motive or, better, several motives. T. Before beginning the advance work, review rapidly the previous lesson. 8. Make a rapid preliminary survey of the assigned material. 9. Give most time and attention to the weak points In your knowledge or technique. 10. Carry the learning of all im portant Items beyond the point neces sary for Immediate recall 11. Ton must dally pass Judgment as to the degree of Importance of items that are brought before yon and lay special stress on the perma nent fixing of those Items that are vital and fnndamentaL 1J. When a given bit of informa tion is clearly of subordinate impor tance and useful only for the time being, yon are warranted In giving to it only sufficient attention to hold it over the time In question. 13. When drill or repetition is necessary, distribute over more than one period the time given to a specified learning. 14. When you interrupt work, not only stop at a natural break, but also leave a cue for Its quick resumption. 15. After Intensive application, especially to new material, pause for a time and let your mind be fallow before taking no anything else. 1. Form the habit of working out your own concrete examples of all general rules and principles. 17. Form the habit of mentally re viewing every paragraph as soon as you have reitd It 18. Whenever your desire is to master material that Is at all exten slve and complex, make an outline of it If you also wish to retain this material, commit your memory. 19. Do not hesitate to commit to memory verbatim such materials as definitions of technical terms, rormu las. dates and outlines, always pro vided, of course, that you also under stand them. 20. In committing to memory, it Is better to read aloud than to read silently and better to read rapidly than slowly. 2L If Tour work Includes attend ance at lectures, take a moderate amount of notes during the lectures, using a system of abbreviations, and rewrite these notes daily, ampiiLd Into a reasonably compendious out- j linn orranised as suggested In Rule I CONTRIBUTORS' COLUMN. The Daily Nebraskan has been the recipient of many contributed edi- rin's written under the spur or a grievance. The chief good of these writings is that it produces an outlet to the writer's hurt feelings, but as printed expressions of the opinion of the University they are useless. The principle purpose of the con tributors' columns is to promulgate opinions on current actions and con templated reforms in the University. Denunciatory phantoms of prejudice have no place in our columns. We have had recent correspondence with many of the university dailies and ave found that they are pursuing a like policy in regard to contributed editorials. The Nebraskan has no Influence over University appropriations by the legislature. In short, if you as student become angry because our rlass rooms are too small or became we lack sidewalks on the campus, you will accomplish more results by writ ing to your representative in your local district than you will by com plaining to the Nebraskan. The Dally Nebraskan is the proper medium to express your views in re- iranl to student interests at large. And you will always find our columns open to concise editorials upon con struetive phases of student life and activity. UNSANITARY DRINKING FOUNTAINS. What is the matter with the drink ing fountains in the Social Science and Brace Hall buildings? The foun tains on the second floor of Brace ITall have not been in operation this year. The fountains in the Social Science building lack pressure to force the water high enough to get a drink without having to touch the fountain with your mouth. Because students are forced to submit to these unsanitary conditions the fountains are hardly ever in use. The foun tains are practically new in these buildings and should be transferred into a sanitary, usable condition at once. NOW FOR THE LEAGUE. The cause of the League of Nations is not lost There can be no appre hension as to the course the new ad ministration will follow, for If it lives up to its principles, it will strive to make America's Interest at home and abroad equally well guarded. The dis agreement on the League of Nations between two schools of thought lrre spective of party affiliations, the Re publican and Democratic voters hav ing failed unmistakably to record their mandate as regards the question in the recent' elections, lies in Article 10. Excepting Article 10, the sentiment of America as a whole is for the League of Nations. Whatever shape the discussion of the foreign policy of America may take in the future, it is certain that it will have for its basis the League of Nations. It is preposterous to assume that the nations now members of the League will ever enter into an international agreement with America that creates obligations other than that Drovided in their covenant An association of nations as that which Senator Harding has in mind must necessarily find shape in the existing League. Herein lies the final hope of the cause for which a League of Nations stands. Here is where the faith of those who would like for America to enter the League is not yet lost The new administration will under stand that Europe and the greater part of the world are now governed by the League covenant While political campaigning was going on In this country, the League has been busy laying the foundations of future international understandings. The financial congress that met in Brus sels has made many important reconv mendations. These are now being discussed in various countries. A committee of the conference has pro posed International free trade and the proposition has been approved unani mously and will to be brought to the attention of all members of the League. Public opinion is lively re sponsive to the work being under taken under the auspices of the League. We hope that with the conscious ness of America's position in the world, the new administration will not fall the cause of International brotherhood. A realiza-ion of the existence of the League should not fad to awaken It to the significance of the new world order. It is, there fore, the duty of those whose sym pathies are for peace not to stop the crusade to have America Join the other nations in concert whether it be for a League without Article 10 or League with reservations so that peace ana prosperity may come to 'mankind.

D. degree from Cornell University. She has heard of the University of Nebraska de velopment plans and is interested in the details of the program as well as In the scope of the project. Chancellor Avery announced on his return from the east that the univer sity architects in Chicago were at work on detail drawings of the plan submitted last June. Working draw ings for projected buildings have not yet been received. The campus plan is now receiving the attention of the Chicago architects.

Towns Are Loaned Package Libraries More than 640 Wisconsin com munities borrowed 9,207 packages of instructional material from the pack age library department of the Univer sity of Wisconsin Extension division last year, according to a report Just prepared. A 30 per cent increase in number of packages loaned is shown In the report, and the number of communl ties that take advantage of the serv ice has increased 10 per cent The trend of public interest Is shown in the subjects requested. Educational subjects were In greatest demand 827 packages in all. Immi gration and Americanization ranked next in demand. Agriculture, special days, labor, world war, peace, foods, health, and liquor were among the other most important subjects. Wo men's requests show that their inter ests are local rather than national since they ask for material mainly on play-grounds, food, dental clinics, chil dren welfare and food, and parent teacher associations. About one fifth of the material was used by members of organisations, registering an Increase of 62 per cent over last year. About 60 per cent was used in educational institutions. Correspondence study, self-imporve-ment, and personal information were the other subjects of the demand, or 1.478 packages. 1,038 were used for correspondence study. Through co operation with the Wis consin Library Commission, the Ex tension division adds to its urply of valuable material for the packages. Bubbles That's all right, ( my boy.

To whom it may concern: I cheer fully recommend my old girl to any undergraduate young man wanting a suitable dating companion for next year: She is a good dancer physically and morally. She is a good looker. She is a good listener. She Isn't too good. She is an excellent pedestrian, In fact, she will always say that she likes to walk, although she is not prejudiced sgainst a car. She is a fairly light eater except on Sunday. It is advisable to eat table d'hote on Sunday. She is a woman of deep emotions whom only you will be able to thrill She has, to the best of my knowl edge, absolutely no ideas or her own on any subject, except you. My sole and simple reason for quitting her Is that I am leaving school. Treat her right She likes to be treated. Iowa Frivol.
