It should never be our hope to arrive at the top, to be leaders or great persons in leaps and bounds, and unless we are really deserving oi this recognition. If our progress Is slow but sure, by the time we have reached the pinnacle, those who have been there before have made room for as, we find, and the foundation upon which we were climbing is built so curely. And when we do reach this pinnacle, we should remember that there are others who are still follow ing the trial we have left behind. Now we must make room for them. N.

LOST IN SUPPORT OF NEBRASKA "GRADS." Recent happenings in classrooms at the University seem to indicate that sportsmanship is a lost virtue at Ne braskathat this word has been erased from the dictionary of what constitutes the qualications of a good student. "Cribbing" on every hand inevery examination is a guide-post which shows that the morale of Corn husktr students is low when it comes to playing "fair" in the tests of knowl edge. In the good old days down South a man's chivalry demanded that honor be uphe ldin examinations. Otherwise he was ostracized by his fellow stu dents and was immediately given hi3 "walking paper" by the Dean of his college. Unhappily, even this condi tion has passed in the South and "cribbing" there is as much in evi dence as it is in the North the Kast and the West. The. schools of tin? entire country seem to be composed of students who have forgotten that the word "sportsmanship" is valuable in the making of character. They all "crib" and do so without a twitch of the conscience, as if it were a mark of cleverness to be able to "get by" with it. It is impossible and almost fruit less to try to legislate the morals of students as it is to dictate what the people in every walk of life should do on Sunday. People like to be their own masters. The Honor System has proved inefficient and was rejected at Nebraska last year because students did not wish to be tried for their lack of sportsmanship before a tribunal of fellow students. This week until Friday Nebraska i.s lending support to two of her grad uates who are doing a splendid work among foreign peoples. Grace Cop pock, '0.r, is now the Y. W. C. A. national executive of China, and her work among the women of that coun Jry has been monumental. Especially valuable has been her work since the recent famine. Steele Holcombe, '17, is working among the students of Kgypt and is helping them to get a truer conception of Christianity. In order that hese workers can "carry on," they must have money for their maintenance. The University started supporting Miss Coppock in 1914, when $350 was raised. This year the goal in each campaign is set at $1,700. These cam paigns need your support. If their goals are reached the name of Ne braska University will continue to shine even acros the seas. TRACK TICKETS. The season track ticket sale will take on a new angle this morning with the challenge of the Track Star3 to the girls of the Universtiy. The invitation is a unique one. The hosts make one stipulation. Each man asks of his guest only that she should be one of the ten best boosters in school that she shall be one of the ten best ticket sellers in the Univer sity. On the face of it this proposition looks rather cold clooded, in fact mercenary. As a matter of fact However, if such conditions could be I r,eore A(,e wo,,M doubtless class these track stars as "wise birds." remedied at Nebraska it would be a "feather in her hat." This plan al though meager could probably be worked out. Why would it not be possible for the members of every fraternity, sorority, literary society, and all other University organizations to pledge themselves to begin a war on "crib bing," to the extent that it would be come an unpopular indoor sport at Nebraska? Why would it not be feasible to ask that each instructor make It a personal matter with each student and ask each class member to ride through their examinations on honor alone? If it is made an indi vidual reponsibility and duty to each me not to "cribb," this campus evil will be eradicated and the word "sportsmanship" will again return to our dictionary of personality. FOLLOWERS ARE NEEDED, TOO. Life is an endless procession of per sons In every stage of the climb to success. Let us not try to alter this orderly sequence by trying to displace others from their position. Let us rather accept things as they come, make the best of life as we find it, and thus prepare ourselves for things to come. "We cannot all be great! Greatness is a matter of relativity. There must be followers as well as leaders. So why not be happy In the position we hold? Growth comes only with time it Is found by discharging faith fully our duties to the best of our ability from time to time and getting the fullness of life thereby. In this Without question, the hosts made a very wise offer. In all probability they will be entertaining next Tuesday night ten of the most popular girls in the University. It takes a real girl in every way to win out In such a challenge. Ii ? EDITORIAL OF THE DAY - D BE (The Bulletin) A GLOOM CHASER. Societies have rcTiitly been formed in certain sections of the country, un ikr the somewhat formidable name of Noble Order of Gloom Charters." Tho j.ganizatlon wa sfirst started amonf employes of industrial plants, whole sale and retail bouses and those en gaged in clerical work, but the move ment bus now sperad until it em braces almost every line of endesvor The object Is to preach optimifui at all times. The dues it is stated art "one smile a day." It is a great thing to be a chaser of gloom. There can be no grcate ambition than to make people hippy. There is too much that is drab an:" doleful and welchanoly In this worltl at the present time. There are too many heart aches and thin, pleading hands. There are too many reople who for some uncountable reason make it their business to spread tho thought of gloom and melaLcholy among their fellow beings instead of letting in the sunshine.
