REDUCING OVERHEAD
The addition this fall of more Sat
urday classes than have heretofore
been held shows the general trend to
ward a more efficient management
of school systems. Use of the sixth
day each week for recitation purposes
is certtin to reduce overhead, ex
penses an appreciable amount.
Whether the numerous buildings on
the campus are used on Saturday or
braska hasi been, heard for years',
Fvery school term, rumblings or a
possible start of such a district are
started. A vet nothing has come
of It.
Hut now several fraternities have
concentrated their location in the dis
tiict from Fourteenth street to Seven
teenth street and from Q street north
to S street. Several other large
houses which would make excellent
fraternity homes are available in the
district. Resides the fraternities in
the district, there are all the dormi
tories. The six square blocks house
a goodly share of the university stu
dents.
Benefits of a fraternity row are nu
merous. Such a district close to tne
university is bound to present many
Mod points. An Increased school
spirit' is certain to, result from a con
centrated housing such as fraternity
row would provide. Other fcirogres-
aive schools) have such rcws; Ne
braska should have one.

are left to lie idle, the cost of keep- Fraternity row would certainly ros

There are enough professors and stu
dents who have business in the build
ings to make it necessary for the jan
itor service to be maintained. Dur
ing the winter, heat must be supplied
to all these buildings on Saturdays
almost to the same extent as during
the week dys Electricity is tfie
only item which is effected and a cer
tain amount of that must be used
even on Saturdays.
Xot only would overhead expenses
be cut down by the use of Saturdays
for class work but the students would
benefit materially.
From Friday noon or early Friday
afternoon until Monday morning is a
long lime. Friday afternoons and eve
nings are not used for study, simply
because there are two whole days be
fore the next class comes around.
Saturday mornings are good sleep
ing hours and Saturday afternoons
a'ways have good matinees so Sun
day is the only possible time for
study.
Well Sunday mornings you just sim
ply have to sleep late and then there
is the Sunday paper. If you go to
church, you get home just in time
for dinner and if you don't go to
church, you sleep until almost noon
so Sunday mornings are tiboo for(
study hours.
Sunday afternoons are as bad. Of
course men have to visit their girls
and girls can't study wnen they have
callers. If you don't visit you go
for a walk. If the weather isn't fit
to go for a walk, there is certain to
be some kind ct a gathering in whieb
to spend leisure hours chatting. So
Sunday afternoon rolls by.
Then Sunday evening, there is a
date". If one doesn't have a date
be may study but if he doesn't have
a date he is entirely out of the no
tion by the time he gets home. Mon
day morning comes around with a
poorly prepared or absolutely unpre
pared lesson.
If Saturday classes were held, stu
dents would have to come to the
campus. If they are any students at
all they will spend a part of Satur
day mornings, not occupied ty classes,
studying in the library. There is the
first benefit students derive. The break
ever the week end is considerably
shortened. Students do not get out
of the notion of study they are very
apt to do that from Friday to Mon
day if they have classes on Satur
day and only Sunday for rest.
CONCENTRATED FRATERNITIES
Talk of a fraternity row at Ne
tFinity students. The location in this
same district of the dormitories rvould
Eerve to establish a close student
spirit, hitherto unknown. Constant
association will show the organiza
tions wherein they may benefit from
the others.
The board of regents should con
sider the merits of a fraternity row.
If it is possible, a district close to the
university , campus, possibly on the
toad to the agricultural college camp
us, should be acquired and fratern
ities and sororities urged to locate
in the district or districts set aside.
DISAPPOINTMENT
The individual who has never known
disappointment is the individual who
has never known & hope, or a desire.
Disappointment sometimes bring
tears, and the depressive feeling
known as melancholy. No one en
joys being disappointed.' If enjoy
ment is ever derived from disappoint
ment, it is because the individual did
not realize what was his best advant
age in the first place.
No doubt disappointment has its
useful function in the building of char
acter. If one were never disappoint
ed, if the world gave him everything
ht desired, then he would develop un
desirable characteristics. Caesar, Na
poleon, Alexander, William Hohen
zollera, would have had a finer char
acter development if they had met
with more minor disappointments be-
frre they eventually suffered from
their major one.
We need the sting of disappoint
ment to make us strive towards great
er accomplishments. Roger Bacon
once wrote an essay in praise of ad
versity, Shakespears said,
"Sweet are the uses of adversity."
Brown said,
"Then welcome each rebuff
That turns earth's smoothness
rough."
Disappointment may crush weak
lings, but the strong will only be
come stronger if they form the habit
of overcoming disappointments.
