CHRISTMAS VACATION
The vacation period for the holi
days will end Wednesday January 2,
at eight o'clock. While not enter
ing to a general discussion of the
length of the Christmas vacation at
Nebraska, its advantages, etc., the
Nebraskan believes that an injustice
is being done the students when they
are required to come back to school
on New Year's Day in order to be at
their classes Wednesday morning.
As the vacation is now scheduled,
the four thousand students who live
out in the state have to leave home
during the middle of the New Year's
Day festivities in order to get to
Lincoln in time for school.
New Year's Day is not much less
in importance as a holiday for proper
observance than Christmas. Surely
an uncomfortable and tiresome ride
back to Lincoln on a train is not a
fitting way to celebrate this great
holiday.
Again, it . has the appearance of
favoritism to the students living in
Lincoln, who of course celebrate the
day in a proper manner. The vast
majority of the students, who live
out-state, lose out on this holiday.
But let us consider this question
from the scholastic standpoint, the
side stressed by authorities. Stu
dents, like everyone else, will cle
brate New Year's Eve. They will
get little or less sleep that night. The
next day they will start back to Lin
coln, and probably get here late in
the evening, tired out from the New
Year's Eve celebration and the trip.
They will get up early Wednesday
morning, and hurry in late to their
eight o'clocks, still tired and fatigued.
Just how much, we ask the author
ities, will the students learn in their
classes that day, when they are ter
ribly tired and sleepy?
How much better it would be for
all concerned if students observed
New Year's at home, came back to
Lincoln Wednesday, and had their
first classes Thursday morning. A
one-day extension of the vacation
is to be recommended.
WE AGREE
With tho following sentiment ex
pressed editorially by the Nebraska
State Journal, the Daily Nebraskan
is in sympathy:
" A groun of Lincoln business men
who had attended the football ban
quet on Friday night were discussing
the affair on their way home. They
agreed that the company made an
insnirinsr sieht. and that the speeches
wore remarkable for their quality
and the high note they carried. One
discord had appeared in a story told
bv one of the men who did not fully
sense the spirit of the occasion but
he met with so much ice that he is
not likely to repeat the offense.
" The men fell to discussing the
change that has taken place in the
tastes and behavior of men in the
last ten or fifteen years. The off-
color story was once very common
at banauets. It seemed to be a part
of the bar room, race track and liv
ery stable atmosphere of the old
davs. Now nothing causes a man to
lose caste in business or professional
circles quicker than to be a retailer
of questionable stories. When he
deliberately puts one in a formal pre
pared speech he takes himself out of
the running so far as real leadership
is concerned. The significant thing
about this change is that it does not
seem to be connected with formal re
ligion at all. Some of the objectors
to this particular story are not mem
bers of churches. With them it is a
matter of good taste and plain ordi
nary morals."
The University of Nevada reports
that with an enrollment of 750 stu
dents, it has a total of 52 organiza
tions.' A check of Nebraska organ
izations would show an almost similar
case of "over-organization," we be
lieve. There are a number of organiza
tions around the campus, which
might well be listed as "non-essential"
or "excess baggage." These
include honorary societies, town
clubs, etc. Activities for the year
of these organizations usually con
sist of one or two social affairs with
half the members present, and the
annual picture-taking for the Corn
husker with every member and a few
friends present.
The Nebraskan picks no quarrel
with organizations that are doing
something, and having a constructive
part in University activities. But
the organization having only a name,
purpose, and picture in the Corn-
husker, and accomplishing nothing,
is to be frowned down upon.
Millions of hour3 are wasted every
year by students working on mathe
matics, is the assertion of George B.
Wood, the mathematical wizard who
will speak to University students
Thursday. Woods declares that his
marvelous ability along mathema
tical lines is entirely due to his
"system." University students,
especially those who have math re
quirements to fill, will find it profit
able to hear Woods tell about his
"system."

FRESHMAN ENGINEERS
. HEAR PROF. HANEY
"Power" Is Subject of Lecture
Delivered at Weekly-Orientation.
"The only sources of power which
man possesses are very limited, be
ing muscular power, the energy pro
duced by man and animals, and the
most primitive form; wind power,
as used on ancient boats, utilized by
sails, and in the windmill today; wa
ter power, energy produced by flow
ing water, and one method that is
coming into vogue recently; and that
produced by the burning of fuels, in
such manner that it reacts in some
manner, and produces power thru
machinery," said Associate Professor
J. W. Haney of the mechanical engi
neering department, in his lecture
on "Power," delivered to the Orien
tation class of freshman engineers
last night.
Professor Haney told of some of
the main things to consider in the
location of a power plant. He said
that it was necessary to analyze all
the conditions affecting the business,
the variation of population, kind of
fuel obtainable, the type of service
desired, and the individual use of
the utility. It is then necessary to
construct a theoretical plant, then
modify it to meet actual conditions,
and to efficiently locate all equip
ment. Then,' and only then, may the
building operations be started.
At the conclusion of the lecture
slides were projected showing the
construction of simple steam plants,
and illustrating the difference in
size between the old crank type steam
engines and the modern turbines.
