The men and women in the University are a splendid proup of American man hood and womanhood. They are rapa ble, hard-working and sincere. Nebraska students devote most of their time to their college, work. Many students, however, spend a ipart or most of their spare time work in Rso they mty earn enough money to sUiy here. Another group in addi tion to their pursuit, of knowledge, participate in what v call 'school activities." This latter group of students work hard for Nebraska but often they are overworked. Committee after commit tee from various organizations as a general rule are composed of men and women who have done things in the past and who can be depended upon to do things in Hie future. Certain peoples' names have almost become by-words because of their repetition. Although the few who have done things will do things, it is not fair to them, for they bevome over-worked, and it is not fair to Nebraska as a University to have only a few of its many talented people pushing Ne braska ventures. The only way to bring the latent talent that Nebraska possesses to the front, would be to place a limit upon the number of activities in which students can participate. Perhaps a system of points for each student, could be worked out. Suppose a place on a freshman class committee would count a point, a chairman two or three, the class presidency five, and in the three upper classes the points increased proportionately. Athletic work, and work on the school publi cations, would be evaluated in a like manner. If one thousand students would do the work that is overloading the soant two hundred who are doing it now. every school activity would be bo'ter accomplished and the students that hav not 'benefited before by using their initiative in school matters would toe benefited very geratly. The thing would not be easy to c'o, nor would it be a simple matter to keep tht records, but the results, of the Bystem could be made to work, would mean a great deal for our Uni versity and the student body. He may wear a last year's straw hat, his finger naite may need mani curing; his vest may hang a little loose and 'hLs pants may bag at he knees; his face may show signs of a second day's growth and the tin din ner bucket he carries may be full at dents and doughnuts; but don't call him "the old man." He's your father. For years and years he has been rustling around to get things together Never once has he failed to do the right thing Iby you. He thinks his son the greatest boy on earth, bar none, even tho the uon plasters his hair Iback, wears smart clothes, smokes cigarettes and fails to bring home a cent. He is the man who won the love and life partnership of the greatest woman on earth your mother. He is "come man" and not "the old - man." if you win as good a wife as he did you will have to go some. Wis consin Apprentice. THE W. S. G. A. PLANS. The W, S. G. A. plans for a series of vocational lectures of the women of Che university, is a good one. Experi enced women in various lines of work will talk to the women of Nebraska at intervals during the year and will give advice to those that are unde cided at, to the line they will follow. Not only i the plan helpful for those who are to work in commercial lines after they are graduated from the university but will give a theore- Cornhusker Queries Q.

However you failed to state how "Rag" Riley came to b; ralleu that name. I would not be in a position to tell you had I not been in the university postoffice last week, talking to the postmaster. It seems that when Can field was chancellor, Riley was enter viewing him on some matter of im portance, as the story goes, in con nection with the student paper. Dur ing his conversation with the chan cellor, Riley had occasion to refer to the student sheet by that name. Immediately Chancellor Canfield re pi 'ed: "Sheet. No it's not a sheet. Tt's a rag. And, according to tradition. thb name still clings. N. S- H. L tLruptrautg (alrn2 Iota Sigma Phi meeting, 7:15 p. m. Chemistry hall 311. Kappa Phi meeting, 7:15 p. m., S S. 105.

HUNTINGTON The' students of the Univeisity ol Nebraska have i:s great reason for expres.ing their desires to the uis annanieiit confe:cnce as any body cf citizens in Amenta. There is no group that pays a greater price in time ol war. If war were declared Ly our government tomorrow, the unive.sities would empty themselves to e::lit In the nation's defense. It has been ever thus. It will be so iigain. Enlistments for national de fense is an expressio of the idealism ol' the students, not only of America, but of the world. It is no lack of devotion, no ab- horence cf sacrificial service, no dis loyalty to the flag that arrays the overwhelming majority of the student body of America on Xhe side of dis armament. It is rather because arm aments make lor war. "Gun toting" does not make for peace. On the other hand, great military establish ments are provicative of war. Back of armaments, are the makers of armaments, and the makers of aima ents have been guilty of promoting. through subtle propaganda, rivalry in building ilitary establishments. Armies and navies create suspicion i-nd international suspicion is a pow der magazine which needs only a spark to set the world on fire. If America builds more battleships, England will build more battleships. and Japan will build ncr battle ships. If Ji'pan builds more battle- hips, America will build more battle hips. England will build more bat tleships and aJpan will build more battleships. only to accelerate the whole hellish business of getting eady for the complete destruction of civilization. The world can go the way it is faded, humanity can stagger undei the burden of war debts and prepara Uon for war, the nations of the earth can suffocate each other with ocad.y gases, but that holocaust will kettle no one of the fundamental problems that face the world. Th greater danger that threatens America today is that she may be come Prussianized. It seems to ba mere popular to advocate the great- navv in tlip world, than tO StanU ror America's leadership in di&arma mnt Rom men seem to have a morbid fear of being called a pa cifist. They are not frequently found among those who went through hell at the front. The students of the University of Nebraska will certainly not lose the ,.T.T.rr-tiiTiitv afforded them of de manding of America's delegates at the disarmament conference, that they stand at least for the following: Open conferences. An immediate cessation of all in creases in military equipment. Reduction of preset armaments. Recently there appeared In the Daily Nebraokan, the statement "The university does not necessarily intend to get behind disarmament but be hind the conference." This may have been a slip. Certainly no one as sumed to make that statement for the university. Surely no one would have the University of Nebraska take a colorless, spineless, chameleon-like attitude on such a question. If there are those in die univeisity who believe in simply shouting for America, let them shout. If there those who believe that America should have the greatest navy in the world, let them say it to America's delegates. But i there are those who believe that America should stand for disarm ament, let them declare themselves in the strongest language they com mand. America is a representative gov ernment and it Is assumed that her representatives are responsible to the people.
