this student looks like Billy Sunday's
'stilt collar himself.
In these days of University deporta
tionswhen In some classes more
than twenty per cent of the students
are asked to keep their parents com
panythe fact that "It Is the silent
student who wins" is food for thought.
"Don't be afraid to utter your con
victions if they are sane and con
vincing; don't bo afraid to speak out
if asked to recite. But let the non
essential questions and discussions go
windward, study from day to day, and
the reward of the "silent student"
will be yours when examination time
comes again.

DAILY NEBRASKAN'S SEC
OND SEMESTER PLATFORM
1. Clean politics In competitive
campus affairs.
2. More paid readers on the
campus.
3. A wider scope of news.
4. Realization of the new gym
nasium and stadium.
5. Lower prices to University
students.
6. Each student an "unofficial"
staff member of the Daily Ne-braskan.
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
ANOTHER BUSY CAMPAIGN.
Candidates for the high positions 01
each class, the Ivy Day speech-maker,
the members of the Student Publica
tions Board and the staff members of
Nebraska's annual have been scouring
the University dominions for many
days in search for the elusive vote.
Their fate will be decided tomorrow
at the polls in one of the mostly
hotly contested student elections in
years, If present indications are any
oiterion.
It is the first and most important
plank of the second semester plat-1
form for the Daily Nebraskan that we
mr.y see clean politics dominate com
petitive campus affairs. We should
kerp our ryes on the ability of the
various candidates, their fitness for
the positions they seek and their pre
vious experience which will better
qualify them for the work they wish
to carry on.
It is conceded that it is a hard pull
for any weak candidate, regardless of
-:-.! factional backing. However, since
there are, and always will be, factions
in college politics, as in outside races
for leadership, we expect some close
contests tomorrow, for each candi
date seems to have certain qualifica
tions which -will fit him for the par
ticular office he seeks.
Next year it would be refreshing to
read that the Daily Nebraskan has
adopted a platform for teh purposeof
placing politics in the background
when members of student publica
tions are considered. It is purely
their fitness for the position that
counts, in order that annuals, comics
and other publications may be created
which will be a credit to the school.
Factions, however, are necessary, we
believe, when the selection of class
officers is taken into consideration
here competition is the spice of life.

READING THE PAPERS.
One of the disadvantages of living
in college circles is that a person
rinds himself in a little world of his
own, a small community in which his
interests and endeavors are centered,
and thus fails to keep in touch with
the outside world during his four
veara of university work. This is
certainly a most distinct character
istic of many college men, but a
characteristic which can be escaped
through the medium of the daily
pa pel s.
Some few among us take city
papers and read them assiduously,
"it it is probable that the great ma
jority of us do not Thus we lose
track of the march of events, and fail
to see the issues at stake in any but
the more widely-heralded happenings
.throughout the world. One thing a
college man should certainly do is to
keep abreast of the times, in order
to be prepared to cope with the influ
ences of those times when ho grad
uates. We, with our little clique of
Tellow students, are inclined to forget
that there is another world besides
iur own neighborhood, and to put the
interests of our person and our com
munity above those of all others.
Some of this narrowness is commend
able from the standpoint of loyalty
to the University, but of distinct dis
advantage to the student.
Newspapers are always available in
various campus reading rooms. With
this opportunity and the low price of
the daily paper, few of us can offer
any really plausible excuse for a fail
ure to keep up with events. Even
the reading of headlines will help
some, if we are too busy to spend
much time pouring over the sheet,
and certainly we should all try in
some way to keep ourselves daily in
formed as to the march of world
happenings.
AN ODE TO THE "RAG-PICKER."
Now it happened one morning In old
Unl. Hall
That a freshman leaned long against
Station "A" wall.
And the "Rag" line was lengthy and
slow to move on,
So the cheerful young "fresh" said
he'd wait 'till they'd gone.
Now it's been quite the custom to
pick up a "Rag,"
Or use this, "Change a twenty?" to
avoid being tagged.
Rut the freshman soon weakened for
alas, he had spied
In that window a stern face, and ail
his hopes died.
For each person must give In his
name or he took
Not a paper that morn, all were
checked on the book.
The poor "fresh" looked around for
some "brother" to bribe,
Yes, 'tis true, he was one who had
failed to subscribe.
)
Well, the "Rag" as you know is in
greatest demand.
When it gets to the station, we're
always on hand.
For of news 'round the campus it
always contains
And we're eager to get it in sunshine
or rain.
Like this freshman, he wanted, and
wanted it bad!
P.ut the question arose, how could it
be had?
Ah, he chanced on a frat brother
lingering near.
All at once the sad face turned to
one filled with cheer.
"Oh I say, do you know who sub
scribed at the house?
Until now, I could pick one, but look,
there's the boss!
He is checking each person who gives
in a name.
Tell me some one who takes It, it
works ust the same."
To conclude, this young freshman by
chance did "get by."
But before he attempts this same
stunt to re-try,
He should know that the "watchers"
report such as this
And at times notoriety isn't a bliss.
Sweet Marie.

THE "SILENT STUDENT."
Did you ever hear of the "silent
student?"
Perhaps you have not christened
him by such name, but you surely
bave noticed him. He always has his
lessons prepared, he always answers
when called upon to recite and gen
erally in examinations he makes the
other students look like Billy Sun
day's stiff collar after a strenuous
sermon.
We might contrast him with the
other type of student who is the per
sonification of "bunk, bunk and more
bunk." This student is always talking
in class. He Is always asking obvious
questions. But he never says any
thing worthwhile. Generally, when
called upon to recite, he is "unpre
pared." His intentions are good, per
haps, but when study hour comes he
depends upon his ability to "string"
the professor when the next day
comes, and finds the movies more at-
