A student going to several classes
every day Is certain to meet profes
sors as different as the classes. With
the beginning of this session, the dif
ference in personalities of instruc
tors and methods of teaching makes
more of an impression upon the stu
dent than it would later in the se
mester. Members of the faculty,
with their many years of association
with various types of man and wo
man certainly realize the import
ance of the first few classes.
Football circles are getting stirred
up over the proximity of the Ne
braska-Illinois game. It is unique in
the annals of football and it indi
cates the advances that- are being
made in football by such men as
Dawson and Zuppke.

OUR SYSTEM OF CREDITS.
In' this University, where many
students come not to be students, it
is impossible for the various under
graduate systems to be broken down
in favor of systems that are more
sensible and more logical. It seems
to be the general frame of mind
among professors that the system of
grading as a means of measuring
knowledge is not desirable.
With the undergraduate body of
students that come here for hun
dreds of different reasons, and many
of them not compatible with the in
terests of the institution, it is almost
impossible for a scheme to be de
vised that would do away with the
grade and credit system as now prac
ticed by American colleges.
Where students are put upon their
honor to study, where no grades are
given, where professors lecture with
out caring whether students attend
cl.ss or not, a better understanding
of the purpose of a university is
found and they are better men who
leave the doors of such an institution.
UNDERRSTANDING.
In these days of initiation into col
lege life there doubtless is recurring
time and again to the mind of the
freshmen that eternal question
"Why?"
He probably found registration a
bewildering task trips from office
to office, seeing deans, and getting
permits or reprieves until finally out
of the chaos of it he immerged with
a workable schedule. He wonders
why all this could not have been ar
ranged without so much formality of
getting signatures and special per
missions. The administration of the Univer
sity is a very highly specialized busi
ness. The division of authority is
very complicated, and if the orders
of one chief of department were du
plicated or reversed by another, it
would make a hopeless mess-out of
things.
The existence of rules and regula
tions are explainable not only as pro
hibitions as such, but because of a
reason "why." The open and closed
nights mean more than a time when
we may be permitted to play or be
kept from playing. Attending class
es regularly means more than mak
ing or failing to make a passing
grade.
There is much to learn in a Univer
sity besides that which is found in
books. A few days of routine work
bring a faint glimmer of understand
ing. The "why" is answerable and
understanding of college in its sev
eral phases will ' bring enlightenment.
How many students know that
there are more than a hundred men
out for three hours every day trying
to get a chance to represent Nebras
ka as a member of her football team?
Football is important here. Follow
it. Follow the team. Be ready to
support them. You are a Nebraskan. medics

With Us
A valuable asset to any college man or woman.
No man or woman can really be successful in their life's work without
having a definite aim or policy. It is the very same with a store. Unless
a store establishes a rating and has a definite policy and pursues it dili
gently it cannot be expected to be recognized by the masses.
Mr. Shire had one purpose in mind when he became sole owner of
this big store and that was to be of real public service, to supply
your needs at the minimum of cost, consistent whhqaulity and to cap
the climax, every sale was to be made with the distinct understanding
that the purchase must prove entirely satisfactory or the original pur
chase price shall be promptly refunded. There" is no better time
than now to become acquainted with us and our methods. Come in
and open your charge account and become established with us. You
will be pleased and will wonder how you' have overlooked buying
here before.
