are taking the pennies they make dur
ing the afternoons and sometimes in
the evenings and applying them to the
needs of an education. It is to these
workers that the greatest credit
should be given. They REALLY want
to become educated. They do not go
to college merely to please mother's
expectations and father's hopes they
go because they have the instinct of
a desire to learn burning fiercely
within them. We might call them
our "fighting Rtudents" and they are
the bulwark of our colleges.

OPEN VS. CLOSED SHOP
Nebraska and Iowa will thrash out
the uqestion of tho Open vs. Closed
Shop in the annual debates at Lincoln
end Iowa City Thursday night. "The
Think Shop", under the personal
supervision of Prof. M. M. Fogs of
the Department of Journalism, and
known as the debate seminary among
Cornhusker debaters for two decades',
has been busy day and night preparing
for the clashes.
Of the six speakers, four are mem
bers of the Law College. Of Inst
year's debaters against Iowa, seven of
the eight were from the Law College.
Those who were awarded team mem
bership for 1921 by a faculty commit
tee composed of Professors Virtue, G.
N. Foster, Fogg and Stepanek, were
at the same time elected to Delta
Sigma Rho, national honorary debate
fraternity.
Debating is a big activity for any
school. Nebraska University should
feel proud that she is represented by
a team that will make a showing
against the best speakers of the
country. When debates are held at
New Haven, the halls are crowded to
overflowing. It is an affair second
only to the gridiron triumphs of Yale.
We refuse to believe that the students
of eastern colleges are in any way
superior in intellecutality to those of
our mid-western universities. They
believe our interests center entirely
around football, baseball and dancing.
Attend the debate Thursday night In
the Armory and defend Nebraska from
an intellectual standpoint! It will not
be a dry discussion on a dead subject.
The R. O. T. C. will be there and the
talks will be fiery, eloquent and to
the point. Ruy your tickets today
they are only fifty cents.
"EAT WHAT'S SOT BEFORE YOU"
LaFayette Young, former United
States' Senator and editor of the Des
Moines Capital, writes: One day Ed
Howe said to me, "Lafe," he says,
"what do you want us to put on the
tombstone when you're dead?" "Ed,"
I told him, "you needn't hurry on the
date line, but since you ask me, I just
want this: 'He ate what was sot
before him'." And so I have, young
men and women, I've taken my medi
cine and loved life and loved my
occupation.
This Is a simple philosophy, and yet
it is a particularly practical one. Too
many of us want "a change of venue"
every time our food is set before us
The food we are asked to eat some
times may be meagre and not of the
best quality, but we should eat and
not complain. The man who accepts
things as they are, without whimper
ing, is the man who finds opportunity
at the end of the rainbow.
"Then, to add to all the above
riches, I take my old shotgun in season
and ramble through fields, woods and
tangle In search of the cottontail, teal
and mallard with my faithful old
pointer at 'heel (now past eleven
years old), and he is as happy as I
when on the hunt. Then, when I get
back, how good everything does' taste.
"Then, when night has settled over
this good old universe, I sit down in
a good old easy-chair, enjoy a smoke,
and then roll into bed and never hear
a sound until the beautiful break of
another day.
"Rich, did you say? Well, I guess.
Dollars? Not many. You inuqired
about riches, not material wealth.
"The height of my ambition is to
live so that I may h-ve no regrets' for
having lived when the time comes for
me to shuffle off this mortal coil, and
I hope by that time to have accumu
lated Just enough dollars that myself
and mine may not be objects of
charity.
"This, then, is my ideal of a rich
man. If anyone enjoys life more than
I do, he Is to be envied for his ricnes
"With kindest regards',
'E-DWARD J. MEYERS."
Cornhusker athletes scored another
victory at the recent Drake relays,
when Deering and Wright each
grabbed first tallies.
At a recent scientific meeting in the
east the laws of Newton and the Ein
stein theory were both cast to the
winds because a professor had dis
covered a tiny error. Is It possible
that things we have studied in text
books for years are proving fallacies'?
This makes us wonder whether we
can ever be sure of anything.
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
U. 'I
(Collier's Weekly)
THE RICHEST MAN
From Pierce, Nebraska, comes an
editorial on "Riches", by Edward J.
Meyers, the town blacksmith.
He didn't know he was writing an
editorial. He thought he was writing
a letter. We pass it along, exactly
as received, as a letter to everybody:
"I wonder if you knew that the
richest man in the world lives four
teen miles north of Norfolk, right here
in Pierce? That man is the writer.
I am just a common 'plug blacksmith'
but I am rich.
" I go to my shop each morning,
work until noon, go home to dinner,
return at one, and work until six
o'clock. I enjoy the greatest of all
blessings, good health.
"There is an old man in New York
who would give all he possesses in
money and holdings for my stomach,
but h ecan't have it.
"With every job of work I turn
out I feel I have done my customer a
service worthy of my pay.
"I have a wonderful little wife. She
has stuck to me twenty-two years, so
I know she must be a dandy to accom
plish that.
"I have a little home, a beautiful
little daughter, a son grown to matur
ity and now in life's1 game for himself.
"Rich? Why, man alive, who can
possibly be richer?
"A JEWEL OF CHICAGO"

Vrigley Building
Wrigley's new .flic building in
Chicago is at the new Doulevard Link
Bridge, Michigan avenue and the river
and heada the vista looking north on
Michigan avenue, so Mr.Wrigley chose
a beautiful design which makes the
building a decorative feature of the
Chicaqo lake front and hannopizes with
the Chicago Beautiiul plan.

Wrigley Building
The main building is 16 stories high,
surmounted by a tower 42 feet square
and rising 393 feet from the street
level. This tower will contain a clock
with dials on four sides, each 20 feet in
diameter and will be surmounted by a
searchlight lantern 9 feet in diameter.
The building is covered with enn"irl
finish terra cotta on all four sides it
is regarded as one of the most beauti
ful buildings in Chicago and people fwid
press are enthusiastic about it. The
Chicago Tribune pub Mu-d a picture
labeling it a "A Jewel cf the Link."
Wrigley also recently completed new
fiories at Chicago and New York.
A!l this new construction work in
...w space of a few yecrs is certainly a
tr bute to the power of nd vortisinp and
the accumulative effect ot a multitude
of 5-cent sales.

WELLESLEY'S WORKING WOMEN
A recent article explains to us that
one-fifth of tho girls who are now
attending Wellesley are "making their
own way." "Even if Jobs of 'tending
furnace are Btill left for the men,"
6ays the article, "the women find time
to do many things to help pay for
their education."
We do not thjnk Wellesley is an ex
