In his freshman year, the strange
ness of college and the fresh mem
ories of preparatory school make con
centration comparatively easy for the
student. Gradually as he becomes an
upperclassman, outside Influences
creep in and he loses these powers.
Of those of us who cannot concen
trate naturally and who did not learn
to do so In high school, only in a few
Isolated instances do we learn to do
to in college.
It is an individual matter there
are no courses offered in CONCEN
TRATION. You must develop it your
self and you won't have any help.
GO TO THE LAST GAME.
Five reasons why it is your duty
to attend the last basketball game of
the season:
1. Nebraska has had a splendid
season, winning thirteen out of six
teen games.
2. Ames, the opponent today and
tomorrow, has already won one game
from the Cornhuskers by a narrow
margin at Ames.
3. Coach Schissler says the Iowa
Aggies have a team as strong as the
Colgate five.
4. Because it winds up the 1921
court season.
5. To keep up the spirit of Nebraska.
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
PEP IS DEAD.
When the election of class officer
has the center of the stage those who
have political hopes are almost in
variably seen buzzing around the
polls. This year even a few amateurs
and others who would resent the term
"politician" if applied to them, were
to be found learning the ropes near
Social Science Hall on Election Day
The excitement was intense.
Thursday morning one of the
classes announced its first second
semester class meeting. At the ap
pointed hour, the class president and
about a half dozen others were pres
ent to elect officers and transact busi
ness for the second semester. The
meeting had to be postponed because
so few students turned out.
Where was the pep and enthusiasm
that was so loyally displayed during
(he recent election? Are we made to
believe that the excitement centers
only around the election itself and
does not extend to the affairs of the
class after the election? Are we
made to think that officers are only
elected to satisfy certain whims and
that those who elect them merely
want to see them take office and care
not whether anything is accomplished
afterwards?
When the first class meetings for
the second wrnester are called the
entire enrollment of the class should
be represented. Watch for your
meetings. IT IS UP TO YOU TO
GO.
CAN YOU CONCENTRATE?
These balmy days when thoughts
of baseball, Orpheum and the fancies
of the season are uppermost in your
mind, can you concentrate on your
studies? If those around you are dis
cussing the new tennis rules for this
year, the inauguration plans, the
"class girls" who are coming to the
next party can you direct YOUR
thoughts to trigonometric functions
and logarithms.
One of the greatest things the
University should teach us and one
of the things it falls far short of
teaching, is the ability to concentrate.
The student for whom it i3 easy to
apply himself has perfected his
powers along this line in the high
school. In a large number of cases,
university life tends to break down
even this student's powers of concentration.
(Michigan Daily.)
CRITICISM.
How easy it is to criticize! And
how hard to keep from criticizing!
Human nature seems so constructed
that faultfinding comes natural. If
a meeting does not begin on time, wo
complain that we are beinv imposed
upon. If one of our teams loses a
game, we are sure that we could have
done better ourselves. When the
officers of our various organizations
do things which do not meet with our
approval, we know that they have
ulterior motives.
Do we ever stop to inquire whether
we are doing our part in an undertak
ing? We often forget that we are a
part of the University, of the organi
zations, and of the teams, as well as
other people. Frequently we overlook
the fact that we ourselves are partly
responsible for the failure of many
projects through our refusal to take
part. Before we criticize we must be
sure we are doing our part in ridding
the University of the topics for
criticism.
