The Bee's Sport Page.
On. Sunday morning, November 7,
the sporting page blackened itself
with Nebraska sport fans. Jut three
davs before this paper appeared, the
Huskers finished a most successful j
season by overwhelmingly defeating
the Colorado Aggies. Game after game,
during the pigskin season, the Corn
husker aggregation battled its way to
Missouri Valley supremacy, and nation-wide
recognition.
On Sunday morning, November 27,
the entire front page of the Bee's
sporting section was graced, not with
Nebraska's victorious team, but with
Eckersall's All Conference Eleven.
The only recognition Nebraska ath
letics received was a short basketball
story bewailing the fact that the loss
of Nebraska's stars of last year very
greatly handicapped the squad.
Nebraska met two of the finest foot
ball machines in the country during
the season just past. Nebraska emerg
ed a decisive winner in one of them
and lost the other by a small margin.
The Husker eleven is classed as one
of the greatest in the country. Eastern
and Western newspapers of promin
ence very highly praised the material,
the coaching and the results achieved
by our men. What has the Bee done?
Perhaps tis true that a prophet Is
without honor in his own country, but
even if that is true it hurts. What ever
the reason, however, the Bee did not
back up Nebraska alhletics as it
should have.
Is This True?
Several days ago an editorial ap
peared in this column on democracy
at Nebraska. Shortly afterwards abet
ter intended as a student opinion was
received in reply to this editorial.
Well written and in all sincerity, it
should give every loyal Cornhusker
man and woman food for thought; if
what it says is true immediate steps
should be taken to remedy the con
dition; if false, the letter should be
forgotten. The letter follows, do you
think it's right?
Student Opinion,
The Daily Nebraskan.
"Democracy, that thing which means
so much but which is hard toexplain,
is by no means lacking in the Husker
school. Every student in Nebraska
University stands on a par with every
other student there are no class dis
tinctions of any kind" The Daily Ne
braskan.
How nice. Isn't it indeed a lovely
picture which is depicted here? Fra
ternity men hob-nobbing with barb
students, sorority members chumming
with non sorority members, all for the
glory of the scarlet and cream. Soror
ity "open houses" really open, not lim
ited to fraternity men. Membership ia
the honorary (?) class societies based
on worth alone, certainly not on any
GTeek letter connections. Positions on
committees but why go on? Surely
we have here Utopia, the Perfect Dem
ocracy. But have we? Does every student
in Nebraska University stand on a par
with every other student? Are there
no class distinction of any kind?
True a man whose father is worth a
million may come to school in cordu
roy trousers and a leather vest, but
doesn't it make all the difference in
the world whether or not he has a
little jeweled pin under that leather
jacket? Maybe not; but it seems to
a ereat many students that this if
exactly the case. "Hello Day,- when
the great condescend to greet the "al
so attend," only to snub the poor, dis-
ilusioned creatures the next day.
There is one argument of the aristo
cracy which they take to satisfy their
own t-onsciences. "The Greeks do all
the work, why shouldn't they get the
credit?" Far be it from me to destroy
some tardworkmg fraternity man's
excuse for accepting with blushes an
other position to add to his extenslva
collection of echool activities, but who
save the Greeks get a chanco 'to do
anything for the school? Now for tho
chorus "Everybody has a chance."
Here, I think, is a shining example
which could be very appropriately
used in the proof of the proposition
that "What is true in theory is not
always true in practice."
Supposing as it may seem, there
are barbarians who love Nebraska as
well as any Greek loves her. But
when they read that there is in this
great University perfect democracy,
they react in a way that cannot easi
ly be imagined by those who have
not actually felt the reaction. Is it
sour grapes? Are they knockers?
Some will say yes; others will thln'c
a while and then take steps to rem
edy an evil that, sour grapes or no
sour grapes, is certainly present in the
home of the Cornhuskers.
"QUID NUNC."
Weekly Reports.
Many students complain that while
at the University they lose me per
sonal touch with their instructors that
meant so much to them when in high
school They say that from semeste.'
to semester, little thought is given
whether the work is completed or
not. Such is not the case.
At twelve o'clock every Saturday
noon a weekly report is due in the
executive dean's office from every
class in. the University. Every absence
is recorded and from this report trans
ferred to permanent cards in the
dean's office.
Following the absence report is a
'standing" column in whiih is placed
the grade and present standing of
every pupil absent or down in his
work. In an additional column are the
"remarks" which, as the form reads
"may be of assistance in determining
the status of students."
The permanent cards are carefully
inspected and when the danger point
is reached, steps are taken to remedy
the condition that causes the trouble.
With 4,700 students to control, it is
a far harder job than w ith the several
hnndred attending an ordinary high
school,, but the task is accomplished,
and while there may not be a person
al acquaintanceship, there is a care
ful watch given the standing of every
man and woman attending Nebraska.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.
By George Matthew Adams.
Today is what you have. It is also
what you are. And again, Today is
what you do, and if you haven't any
thing and aren't anybody, and do noth
ing why, then, for you there is no
Today.
For Today is music. Today is art.
Today is literature. Today is joy. To
day is work. Today is play. Today is
life.
Yesterday is no problem for it ie
past. Tomorrow is no problem for it
isn't here. Today is supremacy. Today
is the world. Today is opportunity:
Crowd in upon it then. Today take
hold upon its faintest chance Spreal
your smiles Today. Be game Today.
Be glad and great Today.
Today is the day your day.
Today is Time and Change doing its
job. Are you a vital part of the play?
Today you may start cut all anew.
Today you may put to use what you
learned a day ago. The center of your
entire life may revolve about Today.
But, above all thing, do not feai-
Today. And let all worry slide. All
things that do not count let them
go, too. Work and help and love
Today.
For this Today will never dawn
again.

DEPARTMENT OF .ANIMAL
HUSBANDRY EXPERIMENTS
The department of animal husband
ry has un Interesting experiment un
der way at the present time. Thki
experiment consists of tests wherein
three-year-old, two-year-old, yearlings
and calf steers are compared. All lots
are receiving corn and alfalfa which
two feeds comprise rations used In
fattening most cattle in Nebraska.
The object of the experiment 13 to asc
ertain the relative rate and economy
of gain of cattle of different ages.
These cattle are purchased upon Mrs.
Wm. Braddock's ranch northeast of
Chadron. They were bred upon the
ranch and handled under similar con
ditions.
Last year a pen of calves used un
der similar conditions proved to be
the most economical .gainers. Six
groups of cattle are upon experiment
al rations at the Agronomy farm east
of University Place. These are all
two-year steers and the object fn this
experiment is to ascertain the most
economical rations to be used In fat
tening two-year-old steers for the mar-
ket. At the conclusion of the feed
ing trials next spring a meeting will i
be called of stock feeders in the state.
These meetings have been held an
nually for the past nine years and
have always brought a goodly number
of men who enjoy looking over live
stock and securing results of experi
ments. LOST GOLD WRIST WATCH.

Vera Mills Will Shop
For You or With You
Here's a bit of gossip. "Tell Vera Mills."
If you tell her you are too busy studies,
dances, and you know just busv to do
all your shopping and that you want a pair
ot silk hose ( Onyx or any kind, size; or color
you wa"nt) right away, she'll hurry down to
the hosiery department, pick out a good pair
for you and send it out just as fast as she can.
Don't you think she is very, very accom
modating? You can call her over the phone
or write a note to her.
Either way she's just as happy to get a
telephone call as she is to get a letter.
So if you have anything you want "Tell
Vera Mills."
She'll shop for you or with you without
charge.
