KOY til'STAFSON
A NON-ESSENTIAL RELIC
Arc we still bounded by a great iron
fence that makes a part of the old cam
pus look like the courtyard of a Med
iaeval castle? It was the "style." per
haps, to surround universities aud col
leges of by gone days with iron fences.
Rut it seems incongruous with the mo
dern trend of affairs and modern edu
cation to believe that such a fence
adds any beauty to the campus or
that it has any sentimental value what
ever. If there are persons who think
that it has memories perhaps a piece
of the old boundary could be preserv
ed in the Museum.
Iron fences generally are construct
ed to keep those without from tres
passing within. For that reason alone
we should speedily tear down the iron
which bounds part of the Nebraska
raninus. Iron fences make us think
of prisons and forts. Although a col-'
lege or university is a fortress of edu-!
cation there can be no such thing
as "trespassers' on its grounds. j
Since the extension of the city
campus far beyond its original limits 1
the Iron fence on the cast is not een
to be classed as a boundary line. Nc-
braska's most costly buildings, in- I
eluding Social Science. Ressey am! j
Chemistry Halls, and the Teachers' j
College have been built on the newly
extended area. An iron fence separat- j
ing this portion of the campus from j
the old grounds is "out-of-date." !
We advocate its hasty destruction
THE END DRAWS NEAR.
With the election of May Queen
and her Maid of Honor for 1921 Sen
ior girls are reminded that their four
years of college lifg Is nearing a close.
The choice for Queen of the May is
not made known until Ivy Day, which
is May 1 S this year, when she will
reign as supreme goddess. The Senior
girl who receives the second highest
number of votes will act as Maid of
Honor.
To be elected May Queen at the
University of Nebraska Is considered
the highest honor that can be be
stowed upon a Cornhusk-tniss. Maid
of Honor is second best to the Queen
herself.
Usually on the morning of Ivy Hay,
which is the dearest or all Nebraska
traditions, thr- ceremonies surround
ing the crowning of thr Queen are
solemnized. Great festivity marks
the occasion and school is usually
dismissed for the day .
Ivy Hay is the day of University
rejoicing. Then is the May Queen
ciowned. then is the Ivy Hay oration
delivered, then are the Innosents ami
Mortarboards tapped. It is the last
and greatest event of each school
year with the exception of that week
dear 10 the graduate commencement.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
(From The Bulletin.)
DETERMINATION DEFINED
WE TALK TOO MUCH.
We rill talk too much and act ""
little. The old saying that "actions
speak louder than words" has a heart-10-hcart
1!21 application.
How many times have you seen a
task assigned and have observed how
much time Ihe doer talks and how
little time he DOES. He will spend
days even weeks or months telling 1
his plans. Then he spends one day
or perhaps less time to ACT. j
The student who prepares his daily j
woik without comment receives the
best grado in the end. in nine out of !
ten cases. Tho student who spends !
his time talking about the amount of j
time he Intends to spend on tlml
course, gets a mediocre grade I
It is such in life.
You will be assigned work as long
as you are thought capable of per
forming. As soon as you realize that
it is not, the talking that counts, but
the DOING, the quicker you will real
ize that others are saying: "He is
a success."
Determination is an important fac
tor in making good. It consists of
making up the mind to do a certain
worth while thingand to keep going
until it is acoompished.
The average man gives up too
quickly. He lacks determination.
Good idias and good intentions are
worthless unless they are carried out.
The only way to cash a hope is to
make a hope come true. That re
quires work hard work. If ihere is
no determination back of that work,
discouragement will probably throw
a lot of stone walls across your path.
Determination means mental stam
inathe courage to keep going in the
face of temporary setbacks and a
feeling of a certain degree of "sports
manship" in geiting what you go
after.
Re firm in jour purpose. Keep
' ursclf solid on your purpose." When
! things are gloomy, press the button
jet nit ntal . sunshine. Keep in your
mind the beautiful vision of , what
'you're going after. Let it inspire you
to keep up the hard work.
; The doing of bisger things is al
' ways hard. A high-powered detor
! minatior helps to make them easier.
I Your ability needs your dr-lermina-1
1 ion en the job at every step, because
i in ihe process of working out any
hard task, a man encounters one im
' pulse after another that tempts him
I to turn back.
I Determination gives your ability a
'chance to come through. It makes
lynr.r good ideas turn to gold.
J Remember: Determination isn't just
a word, nut it s an actual living nu
m;'n ehment within the makeup of
men.
It is a "workman" within you. It
has a definite duty. Its purpose is to
make you do what you set out to do
to keep you from turning back to
fight discouragement to plug obsta
cles full of holes.
Don't let that highly important
workman determination loaf on the
job. You need that workman. You
can't make good without him.

KIRSCHBAUM CLOTHES
SPRING 1921
Upon the worm I meditate
With very great content.
In that no other form of bait
Has virtues worth a cent;
And it is just time to plow
Out bait and fish for bullheads now.
"Doc" Bixby. in Nebraska State
Journal.
All bullheads (doctor, rlease excuse,
A comment of this nature)
Are not confined to lakes and sloughs
Tsor to the legislature
But such poor fish we often find
As he who will not change his mind.
