News Kdltor for Thin Ixxue liKK(i(i YicllKI lE GYMNASIUM NOW ASSURED, IF Just as the Daily Neraskan was be ins tukixl away in bed Wednesday night the lower house of the legisla ture was securely tucking away a new memorial gymnasium for Nebraska as far as it is in its power to tuck it away. It was working overtime to do this. But along with our rejoicing we cannot lose sight of the fact that the gymnasium as a reality still rcrts on a contingency. There must still be an "if tacked on to the realization of the new Corn husker gymnasium. The $250,000 ($100,000 less than that requested bj the Regents and as passed on by the Senate( appropriated by the Houoe is only available after $350,000 has been raised by popular subscription. It id therefore the duty of all University students and alumni to contribute lib erally toward this fund. Already inort than one-third of this amount has been pledged by students and 'Vrads" and committee members are confi dent that by subscription tho final goal can be reached. If ycu J id Mt respond to the call for funds last spring, a voluntary contribution now will be an act of patriotism to ine University of Nebraska of today and the University of tomorrow. It has been due, in a large measure, to the painstaking efforts and sir.cer work of the student representatives Charles Reed, law-'21, of Lincoln, and Fred McFarland of York that the ap propriation bill successfully passed the lower chamber. Here's to theiii! Since General Wood has been olios ton President f the University of Pennsylvania it looks like the PhlVp pines will have to look for another hand to guide their destiny. In spite of the fact that nun ii' made of dust, it sems that his name is "mud" most of the time. Sometimes a false conclusion has some logic after all for example, m salesman might describe certain coi ors as fast, because they run. "When you follow a class discussion faithfully and your coious notes s em perfectly clear to yau at the time Isn't it strange how foreign and colli they look during "cram" session? JUST THE RESULTS DESIRED. Recently a politeness reporter was sent out on the campus to find on' how many students are courteous o all times. To this reporter's various queries the student body resporded i.f the most kindly manner. Put a siient observer, who has watched the dail. conduct of students, has written an editorial which indeed explodes the theory of a Nebraska University that Is 100 per cent courteous. The reason this reporter was .sent to seek out the discourteous and the reason she failed was preordained. This result of her efforts, we hoped, would lead to some criticism of the unkindly acts of University students through the Student Opinion columt, In order that wo might really see upon what "little things" Nebraska students need to polish up. And it has finally brought results. Some student has had the courage to ex press the results of her "silent obser vations." Her opinions have showed that Cornhuskor students do not have manners that are flawless. Let us have more Student Opinions on the same subject. Think it over: Are University of Nebraska students as courteous as they might be?" The time-worn tradition of Senior Sneak Day is abolished in 1921 with the announcement that Chancellor Avery will entertain the fourth year students with an outing at Crete. Entries" in the famous Penn relays at Philadelphia are further proof that Cornhusker stars of the cinder path braska or of the Middle-west as tho limits of their Jurisdiction. i A REAL MAN'S JOB. While the various campus organiza tions are considering the proposal of the Student Council on the Honor Spirit, it is well for them to see the responsibility they take in agreeing to upheld Nebraska's honor. It is one thing to acquiesce, but it is a real man's job to carry out the principle. It means that every member of tho Sanciwun. Kxrn ... upuu m..,.. trtl.ni, 14- . , : ...... t neither to give nor take information during examinations, and that he wiil guard his weaker fellow-Rtudents fron falling into the same sort of thing. Unless each organization is willing to go to this extent in fostering tho Honor Spirit, the desired end will no; be accomplished. The ideal is too high, you say? Per haps, but not impossible. To young Nebraskans there is no such word. Remember that Rome was not built in a day. Let every individual who cares at all about the moral standard of old U.

Little Jimmy Godfrey, aged climbed a tree out in Kansas, City to gather walnuts. He came in con tact with an electric wire. One fc-d-' of his face was burned, leaving an ugly scar. A damage suit, against 'ig power and light company was insti tuted on Jimmy's behalf. The chin element of damage about which the claim centered was that Jimmy had lost his vouthful smile On fht wiL- ness stand, Jimmy as asked to try to smile. The only result was a puck- eniiK ui me nils mm a ineii'iu iiun i drawing of the face. A physician i,s- titled that the smile muscle in his cheek had been bound by the scarred tissue above. The jury promptly re turned a verdict giving Jimmy J.20, 000. That becomes the officially fixed value of a smile. Moral: If a smile is worth $20,000 when you lose it, it is worth $2,000 when you use it. The world is full of Jimmy Godfreys some of 'em li'.tio chaps like him, some of "em big, grown-up folks. Some of 'em are :iko Jimmy used to with a warning, cheering, helpful smile that makes lilc happier for everybody in it. Some of 'em are like Jimmy is now "smile muscle" always gone instad, a dt en, dark, foreboding frown that makes the world a little darker and a lit'lo gloomier for all who come in contact with them. They paid Jimmy $20,000 to com pensate him for his loss. His oy. Do you get that? In other words, im portant as Jimmy's smile was to oth ers, it was most important of all to him. If all the "smile muscles" in the land were electrocuted and all the radiance went out of the faces of those, you know them, who help us turn the dark clouds inside out n'.l the gold in the world couldn't shi.ie bright enough to make a compensat ing light FRESHMAN HOP IS SATURDAY EVENING Saturday evening, April 30, the fresh men will hold their annual hop at the Lincoln hotel.

FIVE DELTA SIGS GO SNIPE HUNTING BUT LUCK WAS POOR Five Delta Sigma Delta freshmen are wondering just where the joke comes in, when asked "How many ; ....... a i a 1 T. i o ti..'. day night at Capital beach lake, and who were hauled home hsivering and wet and disappointed by two Lincoln men who had been to Milford. The two men, whose names are given as Ira D. Howard and Isaac J. j Fisher, were returning to Lincoln by I way of Capital beach lake. They saw one standing in the road flagging them with a lantern. Thinking it might be someone in distress they hove to and turned off their engine. Five men were standing in the road, each carrying a large bag, according to the story told by Russell P. How ard, recruiting sergeant for the Ne braska national guard. They asked to be hauled in to Lincoln. Once aboard jthey beRan a hard luck tale They had been standing in the cold waters of the lake several hours they jsaid. wIth baKs Properly held. They had turned their backs to the point jhere the moon rose, had stood in a isemi circle and whistled according to tne most venerable traditions of snipe hunters, but the elusive snipe refused to even appear. They were at a loss to explain their failure to bring home a large batch, but after consultation today decided that it was too early in the season, and that the snipe had probably not immigrated to this locality. They promised to reward their benefactors with a few snipe if their next trip was more lucky. A part of the story is corroborated iby police, who know that several men stood in the road Monday night, and allowed at least two cars to pass when it was seen that the cars were al ready loaded. Police had been won dering what became of the five men.
