BACK AGAIN
After a week of recess the Daily
Nebraskan appears again on the (turn
busker campus. Tlio new editorial
staff has assumed cliarse and ("very
thing is set to start the scnirsttr
with a boom.
The co-operation of the student
body and the faculty is just as neces
sary to a successful Daily Xebras
kan as it is to any other activity
or movement on the campus. A big
campaign for subscriptions is on this
week. Co eds are everywhere on the
campus with receipt books trying to
sell you the Nebraskan.
We need your support. The Ne
braskan is just as much yours as
anybody's. It is edited and managed
by fellow students who don't know
onv more or aren't any hette.1 look
ing th:n von are. Subscribe for it.

LUEHRING LEAVES.
Luehring is going. His resignation
as chairman of the department of
athletics and physical education came
last week as a complete surprise to
the Husker student body. Only very
close personal friends of Mr. Lueh
ring had any inkling of hH inten
tions. Nebraska looses and Minnesota
profits. Luehring was too big a
man for Nebraska with her present
equipment and facilities. When lie
came here from the east we made
him all kinds of promises a new
stadium, a new gymnasium, and other
things that have failed to matcnalize.
The school cannot be blamed, how
ever, but neither can Mr. Luehring.
Luehring has been a God-send to
Nebraska during the two years he
has been here. He hat put the Corn
huskor institution on the m.v in the
athletic world. He has made the
most of what facilities he had to
work with and more students have
participated in athletics than ever be
fore. We rejoice over the success
of the time he has Deen here and
regret that he is going to leave.
Mr. Luehring cannot be blamed for
"his action in the matter. Te uni--versity
failed to keep faith with him
and it is his privilege to do cs he
thinks best. We know Mr. Luehring
ttoo well to cherish the idea that it
was the increase in salary that pur
suaded him to accept the Cipher of
fer. To criticise Mr. Luehring's de
cision would merely indicate that we
have lost faith in his judgment We
are sorry he is going but it is up
to him.

THE ARMS CONFERENCE.
How close are University of Ne
braska students following the limi
tation of arms conference that is
now in session in Washington, D. C?
This meeting is one of the most im
portant and far-reaching events of
the present age. The results and
decisions reached there will have a
direct bearing on every stndejt. The
arms conference should be . subject
of keen Interest to all of us.
With this belief in mind, the Ds.iiy
Nebraska has arranged to carry in
the very near future, a series of ar
ticles written by experts whi.rh deal
with the various problems as they
are being taken up. Five articles cn
the far east, written by such figures
as V. K. Wellington Koo, B. Skvirsky,
Baron Kijuro Shidehara, Dr. G. E.
Uyehara, and Eulogio B. Rodriguez,
are among the (first that will toe
printed.
These articles are being released
. by the National Student committee
for the limitation of armaments to
meet the growing demand for a ba;
anced presentation of the Issues aris
ing out of the negotiations now In
progress In "Washington. Public In
terest in the far east will probably
wax even keener when the treaties
go to the senate. The Issue I11 then
be squarely up to the American peo
ple for decision.
Watch for there artlclei and read
them.

Contemporary Opinion
CUROSITY SHOP MIND.
Occasionally one meets a man with
mind like an overstocked curosity
mop, a mind cluttered with counliess
shabby, dusty facts, a dingy tiiind un
lit by the sunlight of rich human
vwnputhies and common ttciue that
ii'e contracts yield. Such a man pei.
li'.p.s can tell you Alabama's cotton
pi eduction for 1897, or maybe the
middle name of Buchanan's minister
to Denmark, although if he Is that
uood he is doubtless in vaudeville.
.More likely his feats are less spec
tacular, and he is a laudry driver cr
a cerk.
He will never succeed, except pos
sibly at vaudeville, because he lacks
ulelligence to distinguish between
acts, iid between facta and prin
ipies.
li.iuks are fitter custodians of most
acts than the mind. M.iny touch
uon.; facts must be learned, truly
nit time ami if tenth e oer on
-pire to limit the numb?r ol facts
i f vertigo person can nuko his own
.'I. st ficts should be leC to rest oi
urary '.helves, there sulij-, t to :'
ort, not i'.gced abt.ut.
Principles, the trees t.f which facts
ue icv.ves, are lar lewer, and worm-
er of seeking and retaining. One
M'nciple leads to a million facts, n
million facts to a single principle, in
o far as a student masters and re
neiibers principles, and builds his
own thought on them, he is a thinker,
not a human encyclopedia. Hi learn
ng is adaptable, not mechanical.

He is iaid up with a bad cold con

a cold which became worse. The

He is getting little enough pay as

university caa do is to afford him a
cumi'orlable place in which to spend
the remaining days of his life, which
we all hope will be many.

"That sure gets me down," Quacked

drop of water from her back.
One of the star reporters asked
who the following were when asked
to cover nil assignments relating to

"Kings on her fingers - (and eaisi

A Lament for Old Customs.
Almost alone
And echoing we traipsed
Through the big gym.

Paused before the cage
Bewildered, passed on,

Important meeting of all Vikings
Thursday at 7:30, st th Alpha Tau

Where is the crowd?
The noise, the clutter, and import
nt confusion?
Where are the long lines?
The mad rushing to and fro?
Where are the tickets, slip.7, cards
Where are the signatures, stamps,
and blue marks?
Ti e muddling rod tape so tradi
tional?
And where is the braggart who
dodged
Through" the lanes, fell in the head
of lines,
Bribed typewriters, and came thru
Sweating and proud of the day's
work ?
Has this brain-child of some well-
ordered mind
Done away with the nerve-racking
Vet chummy system?
The crowds, the gossip, the meet
ing of old friends, returning.
Another old tradition, with its red
tape
Wound and put away.
III.
Out of the quiet building,
We left half doubting
The success of the plan,
And almost longing for the old
custom.
Wondering if we were reaily registered.
