USING THE SURPLUS DAY
Possibility of making use of the en
tire week for meeting of classes has
been given serious consideration for
years. University -of Nebraska stu
dents may find themselves soon con
fronted with a six day week.
The plan as suggested would re
quire two sections, one meeting on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday and
the other on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday. Five day classes would not
have the extra day added. Classes
meeting two times a week would be
divided into 3 sections, Monday and
Thursday, Tuesday and Friday and
Wednesday and Saturday.
Increased efficiency throughout the
university seems likely to follow such
a move. Professors would be able to
teach classes in the same subjects at
the same hour every day of the week.
As it is now, they teach one class
three days a week and either another
two hour class or none at all, two
days a week. Professors certainly
would favor the plan.
Students, while not strongly favor
ing Saturday classes, would probablv
find themselves much bettered under
gard that law. As man to man, sport
lug men take it for granted that tf
they wilfully or accidentally destroy
another's athletic property, they shall
pay for the loss.
Some few men cannot understand
this unwritten doctrine. They do not
see why if one man allows them the
use of his bat in a baseball game and
they fall to properly use that bat Rnd
as a result break it, they should have
to "fork up" for a new one or replace
the old one. They cannot see why
thy should in.y if they break another's
trolf club or tennis racquet. They

cle broke because of their improper
use of it.
Those few men are no: held high
n the eyes of their fellows. The un
written law says, "If you are a man
you'll pay foi it; if you are not, you
won't " So It is regarded by all red
blooded men and so it li expected to
be observed. Any man who disn:
gards It, lowers himself in the esteem
cf his fellows. He becomes a "poo
sport," in the minds of men, a mighty
uncomplimentary title.
CLASS OFFICERS
Time changes the aspects and func
tions of things. What once was im
portant and necessary may come to
be of minor significance as tinvj
passes.
Consider the class . office. From
what necessity of college life did I',
arise? There was a time when the
class was the unit at the university.
The number of students was Bmall,
and there existed few outside groups
the six day system. Rather than havo i to draw the attention of the scholar.
several days each week in which their
entire day is taken very much unbal
anced by two or three days in which
they have one or no class, they would
find their subjects so arranged as to
allow them an equal number each day.
Three hcur courses make up the
bulk of the university schedule. As
the curriculum now stands, but a few
laboratories meet on the sixth day.
Practically the entire university plant
is out of use on the final day each
week.
After leaving college, university stu
dents must work on the sixth day.
Often they find themselves handicap
ped because of the fact that they are
used to "loafing" on the Saturdays
and for a number of weeks cannot get
used to working. A six day schedule
in the university would accustom them
to working every day of the year. Stu
dents are workmen and they should
arrange their work in the same way
as men of the world.
For those who must work on Satur
days, the schedule would probably not
conflict with their employment. ,Thls
percentage is not high and arrange
ments could be made to enable them
not to have classes cn Saturdays.
University officials should consider
further the merits of the six day school
week. Its adoption would undoubted
ly be found beneficial and a further
ance of economy in the running of the
university plant.
AS MAN TO MAN
An unwritten law which is generally
observed by all good sporting men of
America decrees that when on man
uses the property of another and in
some way or other destroys that prop
erty it Is his bonded duty to make
that destruction tight with the owner.
' Few are the men who disregard
this law. Far fewer are the men
who have any use for men who dlsre-
The class meeting provided a com
mon meeting ground. It satisfied the
desire for organization. The class
office was an honor conferred upon
those who were the. best known or
who had administrative or executive
ability.
Time has changed those conditions.
The enrollment has increased many
fold. A large body is unwleldly and
often does not accomplish what it sets
out to accomplish. The identity of the
individual has become small. Out
side organizations and groups have
grown up which satisfy the desire?
for organization. No longer is the
class meeting attended by a majority
of the members. Class meetings ar
seldom held, in fact.
Is there a need for the class office?
Does the interest displayed by indi
viduals warrant an organization?
What are the duties and responsibili
ties of the class officer now?
A certain amount of training is ac
quired in meeting people, in adjusting
oneself to various circumstances, and
In participating in political activity.
Outside of these attributes there seems
to be little importance atached to
class offices. Are they sufficient?

The young lady students at the Uni
versity of Colorado are getting very
athletic and very rough. A cartoon
on the front page shows all the young
men in the role of cake-eaters in the
stands watching the young ladies ln
a baseball game and the drawing is
headed "Are We Coming To This.'
More tangible proof of the situation
is the report ln the same paper that
one of the young ladies broke her nose
while acting as catcher for the ladies
team. The poor males have not a re
fuge left, even their favorite sports
are being invaded. It is the sacred
right of a man to break his nose.
Do You Need
Extra Couroes?
Students not attending the university this summer have
six weeks before the opening of the fall session in which they
may work off requirements, pain extra credits, or become
eligible for school activities in case twenty-seven credit hours
were not made last year.
