MAYOR MILLER SPEAKS
TO UNIVERSITY MEN
That the university student owes
something to the community which
provides his education, was the key
note of (ho speech given by Mayor
Miller to the men attending the
"Greater Nebraska" luncheon Friday,
at the Grand hotel.
The student can serve the com
munity in many ways, by unselfish
ness. idealism and leadership, said
Mr. Miller. That he feels his re
sponsibility toward the University has
been proved by the enthusiastic sup
port given the University appropria
tion bills by alumna in the legislature.
Mayor Miller believes that in spite
of the natural changes of the times
extravagance is decreasing and de
mocracy growing in the university.
He also expressed himself as being
in favor of the weeding out of all stu
dents who were not in school for
serious purposes. "There is no room
for them in the largest university to
be found."

versity Players in three compliment
ary performances May 5, G and 7 at

"Seventeen" as a novel has been
most widely read and is rated as one
of Booth Tarkington's best. As a play
it has also been a great success. The
story is that of a boy's first love
affair and his first dress-suit, together
with the major and minor trials
which accompany both.
Seats will not be reserved and those
who -wish to attend must remember
that "the ear'y bird gets the worm."

Door of Opportunity Opens for
Women in Field of Journalism
By Wilma Winter.
When a gi:l sets out to knock on
t-ne of the doors that open to a jour
nalistic career, which promises to
open the most readily the one
labeled "society," "women's activities,
r'tlubs." "children's stories." "fea
lures," "sob sister," "niovks" or
"straight reporting?"
It depends upon the girl. And it
depends upon the paper.
The novice had best not be too
particular. If any of the doors show
the tiniest ray of light through the
track, the girl who wants to try her
fortunes on the wheels of the public
press would do well to lake advantage
of that opening. She can find her own
particular field after she has been a
member of a staff for a while. The
first requisite is to "get on "
To be sure, the field for women's
activities on newspapers has been
greatly enlarged, especially since the
war. Women had to be used to cover
assignments and "beats" that hereto
fore were never opened to any save
the short haired sex. City editors
found that petticoats did not hinder
the ferreting qualities of a nose for
news, in ract in some cases, u was
found that women could get things
that men never would ask for.
But since the soldier reporter had
come back, since the money market
has tightened and since Jobs have be
come a necessity rather than a luxury.
It is rot so much for the neophyte
to say what position she will hold on
a staff. In fact, she is lucky to get,
a chance to try out. j
After she gets on a staff, the am-
bitions girl reporter who has a hidden
desire to try out some particular line
of writing, may put In all of the extra
time on extra work she desires, ir
she has anything really worth while

to off.?;-, no city editor would be o
short sighted as to refuse it. And if
tier hobby shows enough possibilities
she will undoubtedly be encouraged to
follow her special line and if neces
sary, relieved of her other duties to
put it across.
Practically every paper has certain
positions that are invariably held by
women. For instance, the society
editor that place of great courage.
To be a successful society eJitor. one
must be gifted with the. diplomacy of
Lloyd George, the understanding of
Lincoln and the sense of humor of
Irvin Cobb, to say nothing of the ten
acity of Bill Bryan. To be able to
manipulate a nice discrimination in
the employment of adjectives, to dole
them out with a nicety that will
please rivals on the ladder of social
prestige and still statiate the yowells
for revenge that comes from climbers
of a lesser station that Is the task
of the society editor. She must be
ready for any emergency for one is
usually awaiting her. It is a position
where one must be able to take a
few stock stories, the wedding, the
dance, the card party, the personal,
and present them in a "different and
interesting way" each time.
The club editor is a woman, and
usually her work does not conflict
with that of the society editor, al
though on some papers the two de
partments are handled together by the
society editor and her assistant.
Many of the "Movie Pages" are
turned over to the mercies of feminine
writers. While this line of work does
not bring a reporter Into contact with
