"These are the things I ask of thee Spirit Sorcerer: Strength for the daily task Courage to face the road Strength to help me bear tlie trav eler's load And for the hour of rest thai comes between And inward joy in all things heard and seen." Van Dyke. THE IRON SPHINX. In a Student Opinion yesterday the nail was hit squarely on the head when it was said that the class or ganizations are not "honorary" but "inter-fraternity honorary." The Iron Sphinx is composed of two men from each social fraternity at Nebraska, and in addition to that two non-fra-tefnity men. Is the representation in the Iron Sphinx fair? For approximat-.'y ev ery fifteen sophomores in the frater nities there are two representatives. For the entire non-raternity body of sophomore men there are just two the organization, with such a repre sentation should not even be recog nized. Presumably the Iron Sphinx are to deal in the best way possible with the problems of their class the organ isation is supposed to have the best men the class affords. How can all the problems of the class be dealt with if only those acquainted with one-half the problems try to solve them all? Will, under these condi tions, many of the problems be at tacked at all? Will this organization really have the best men in the class the thinkers, the workers if only the fraternities are represented? This organization has done prac 'ically nothing during its existence. Why? It is too much a partisan af fair every man has an axe to grind, and by working under cover, by lean ing in such, a manner that the bal ance of power will swing this way or that, his end may be accomplished. If the Sphinx were truly rcpiescn tatlve, there should be twice as many non-fraternity men as Greeks. The benefits would begin to accrue at once. There could be no politics in the group. The natural leader wouid dominate and instead of the social organizations to which a man belongy AaoTr who would be the leader. t a 1, ; .,,a tKo An (tntnniint is a iru v who takes a BUUUUllltruua ICUCJBlliy "WUiw " - I big thing, and a powerful organization blind date. uiere is aanger or uisiiuhhui uchujc .f delinquency. After their first se mester here, however, they have not more experienced members of their clan and have learned what the 'pipe' courses are, what professors arc a lit tle easy (when three or four ure op tional when taking a prescribed course), and quickly mastering the ail of re-writtinir. in a hurry, the painstakingly prepared work oi" theh more serious fellows. Another class of students are those that have brushed up -against the outside world and have come out sec ond best in the encounter. At pres ent there are many army men in the university that came to the realiza tion that education is a necessary essential quality to those who would be leaders. In the lines of chemistry, medicine in fact all subjects in which there is research work to be done are found the steady, grinding sort of people, to whom the discovery cl some new substance, or reaction, means more than rinanciai success. This class must attend the univer sity to get the training necessary to carry on their worK. To a greater or less extent each and every one of these driving forces are present in Nebraska students. The incentive to work may be influenced by a desire to more quickly gain tho end hoped for. The ideal Nebraskan is the one who has just the right amount of the above qualities. He hopes for enough of a financial success so that his family may have plenty of the world's goods; he must play enough so that he will not go "stale ' and so that he will be able to meet his social obligations in later years in a manner becoming his position; ne must have learned that the world is not easy and that a battle is before him; he must care enough for his chosen endeavor to want to add ne things to it to make it better, ana he must work constructively.

He: Because that's what the army does most of the time. X. V. Z. would result The increase in numbers would strengthen the societv. One of its big functions is to be ready, at the time of an emergency, to help in ev ery way possible. If a group of seven tv or eighty men cculd be together in a few minutes when the of beer occasion demanded, they would be adequate to meet any situation which might arise, v Every man working for Nebraska makes a better Nebraskan. If each year forty or fifty more men than at the present time could wear the arm band or pin of the organization, forty or fifty more men would have a bet ter feeling toward Nebraska. If there is a slight bitterness be tween the Greek and non-Greek, this addition to the class organization would very greatly help in making the wound heal and the spirit of Nebras ka be trurer blue than it has ever been before.

THE DRIVING POWER Forty-seven hundred students at tend the University of Nebraska. Has it ever occurred to you that there are nearly forty-seven hundred dif ferent reasons in the consciousness of these people for getting r.n education. Perhaps the grcateEt reason for most of the students being here, is the vision of a greatly efficienclzed earning power after graduation. This ideal keeps many at work who other wise would "play around." Many students regard Nebraska as a playhouse in which, they may gad about to their heart's content, worry ing only four times a year, when We are wondering if Audley Sullivan and Ills rough neck gang Corncobs intend exemplify Nebraska Spirit during the Basketball season as They so commendably Did on the gridiron.

NEWS OF THE DAT (Continued From Page One.) view that the matter is up to the western conference officials who meet in Chicago Saturday. A proclamation has been issued by Governor McKelvie approving the ob servance of American education week, beginning December 4, as recommend ed by President Harding and the na tional commissioner of education. He includes with it a plea for training children in selfreliance and emphasiz ing the principles of industry, thrift and integrity. The governor criticises some tenden cies of the existing school system, particularly matters which dlsrract the attention of pupils from their educa tional work. There would be less com plaint of high school taxes, he says if those entrusted with the management of schools would put as much honest, conscientious effort Tnto the work as was done by the old time educators who had less to work with, and if parents would give their full co-oper ation. "In my opinion, the social life of the children of school age at the pres ent time as actually demoralizing, ' Mr. McKelvie declares, "not alone be cause it is not always surrounded with the proper moral safeguards, but be cause there is too much of it. "Fine school buildings, expensively equipped laboratories, and high salar ied teachers will not be able to instill common sense and good Judgment In to the minds of children whose tinn outside of the school hours, is given over largely to social activities anil play. Nor is it possible for the forces of education to control this situation, so long as it is encouraged and con doned by parents and society. Tho homo must be regarded as an abidlny place, and not a mere whistling post along the way to social engagements." Union. Open meeting in Union hall, Satur day, Dec. 3 at 8:30 p. m.

How many Vanity Bags, how many pins and how many pairs of wrong size hose? Thoso are useless questions compared to "How many misfit gifts did you GIVE?" Think it over were the hose you gave Isabella the right size? How about cousin Anne's gloves were they the right color to go with her suit? No doubt you probably GAVE as many misfit gifts as you received and this year you don't want to do the same thing. We have a splen did way to prevent this unfortunate happening. "ASK GIFT GRANNY." THAf'8 THE PREVENTION. Gift Granny is on the balcony at Budge & Guenzel Co's. Store and Is there Just for the very purpose of helping people give the correct gifts gifts the recipient wants und needs. All you do Is to write, phone, or tell Gift Granny that you want to give Mary a present. Leave Mary's address and that'B all. oni Gran n sends her a courteous letter saying that someone sha doesn't tell who wants to give her an acceptable gift for Christmas. Gilt Granny Is very thoughtful, for she even encloses a blank form for Mary to tell what she wants the color, size, etc., and, too, there is an addressed envelope for Mary to send in her IIhI. Then Gift Granny, Just as soon as she receives this list, slips It in an envelope and returns it to you. And theret you are ycu have what Mary wr.nts and you KNOW she will be tickled to death with what you gtve her. Oh yes I forgot to tell you that Gift Granny just loves to send letters to men. She knowa how liard It is to choose a gift for "him " So if you want to give your "him" something he will like awfully well, Just "Ask Gift Granny" that's the only way to be sure.
