ELUE SKY LAWS.
Il is not often you Hear a sane,
convincing argument on a ivo.tliv.iuu
subject in a caboose. Such was iln
ci'Se, liowe'. er, recently on mi en
forced trip in the "cbcei atinn car
ul a freight train. Two wHlrear
aicn had missed their tiain ana we;
compelled to partake of the hoip'
taliiy of the caboose. They selected
the "Blue Sky Laws" as the subject
of tin ir discourse while the runiriiiia
freight train of some sixty o:Yi cars
took live hours to make forty i.nie-s
It was plainly eiuent to an obsirv
er thi.t their attitude toward the sc-i.
ing of valueless stock in fictitious en
te; prices was hostile. The point on
which they differed, however, w: s
whether the Blue Sky Laws, lor Uiv
pie.eution of frauds upon the pu'.'.ic
were justifiable and the proper liitic.
oJ to deal with the situation.
One of the men put up the eonvrnc--ini,
a.oumcnt that it was the fault of
tin public that they were imposed
lipi n by tiie.se would be stock promo
te .s. He argued that the pubm
bhould know what to buy, know what
not to buy, and above all know wnere
to place their hard-earned saviuga.
But tin.- nail was .struck squarely on
tin head by the other man, who saiu
tli.'t v hile Biue Sky Laws .should
pe. Iiai-s not be necessary to uieta'e
to the public what they should l.ut.
or what they should not buy, hut thai
it vi.) the general effect on the com
munity that was the main facto.-, i-1
thi.i ica.-on, he argued, the 15 hi-.- Sk
Lavs are- a necessity. The c;i. mu
ni ; l.e : ;nd, sulYe.s a detiiiuei.t as
the ili.cU result of por judv,ni-u
ami lack of will power on the pari
of some individual in the community.
How aptly Elui- Sky Laws m.hi
be applied to work in a college il
not stiictly in a literal .sense.- u
would be ridiculous to think oi pass
ir.; such legislation to pi event Ht
dents from selling their fraudukn;
stick of worthless "bluff" to unsus
fpt't tinij professors. We ndmrt thai,
it Is not the effect on the individual'
professor who nliould know Lett';,
than in believe thesn worthless recita
tions of KtudentH who have not opened
a textbook, but it is the innueii'
on the school at large. It loweis the
morale of the student body anu U. :.
! fluency of the instructors.
Let the evil of the "bluffing" stu
dent pass without the aid of Blue
Sky Laws, but let it come speedily:
Wide recognition by college dailies
and other newspapers throughout the
United States has been accorded the
students of the university of Ne
braska for so harmoniously "stick
ing together' 'in regard to their pact
to bring down prices of amusements
to university students. Other similar
movements have been agitated and
advanced in other colleges, but they
lacked the initiative to put them
through successfully. Nebraska did
not argue, but acted;' she did not
oentinue. to pay exhorbitant prices,
but ' boycotted. She is reaping the
results.
""vrii t,ie most dehumanized mo
dern fantasies depend on some older
and simpler figure; the adventures
may be mad. but the adventurer must
be sane. The dragon without St.
George would not even be grotesque.
Even the moon is only poetical be
cause there is a man in the moon."
Chtesterton.
EDUCATION AND MEN.
Dos education make men?
This question was asked in a class
at this University recently. It
brought smiles from the members of
the class. All nodded in the affirm-r-tive
that "education DOES make
nun."
On the surface, this question seems
rimple, ridiculous and shallow. Is
it? Whether or not education makes
the man, seems in a broad sense, to
depend upon the definition you ap
ply to man." Education has ruined
many a weakling. The more knowl
edge some men and women cram into
their heads, the more ways some of
them seem to find to deceive their
fellows. Larger channels of knowl
edge sometimes open the way for
crime, snobbery, and class distinction
It is up to the individual. ' If you
.re sincere, education will make a
man out of you. If knowledge means
a greater opportunity to skilfully de
ceive, it may ruin you. You are en
titled to elect.
RECITATION ASSIGNMENT
TICKETS.
Nebraska University has this year
nnoduced a system of lecture or
ecitation assignment cards that has
'..crked well in some of the larger
universities in the country. Upon
entering the school, during registra
ticn. the s.udent is given a rectangu
':u' card, bearing his signature, the
name of the particular course for
which the card is to be used, the in
struetor's name and the division of
that particular subject in which the
student is to be placed.
This system is highly efficient. It
eliminates the evil of populous
classes, prevents students from chan
ing sections at will and besides sim
plifying the method of distributing of
'udents in the various classes. i
aids the registrar's office in checking
ever student registration cards.

looks foolish and I sure doa't like u.
2. Garret Burt, 1141 H St.:
Say, if I were to have a date with

bobbed, I'd say, "Well, good-bye. I'm
going."
