AN OPPORTUNITY.
At Michigan and at other schools
further east, the dramatic organiza
tion of the University prepares an
opera or a production of some kind
which is presented just before the
Christmas recess. During the vaca
tion the production goes on the road,
stopping at cities in the state and
also in adjoining states.
Such a practice has a number of
advantages. It not only gives the
members of the organization and the
cast valuable experience but it ad
vertises the University, and brings
it before the people of the state in
a favorable manner. It gives the
school a kind of advertisement which
is not only desirable but which can
not be given by a distribution of cat
alogues. This is the sort of thing that
might well be done at Nebraska.
There are several organizations on
the campus that might take over the
production of such a road show.
There is a great deal of territory not
only in this state but also in Iowa,
Kansas and South Dakota that could
be covered on the tour.
Whether or not an organization
would be willing to assume the bur
den of such a production is a ques
tion, but there can be no doubt that
if it were the University and the
students would benefit.
"One Man Blocks Husker-Creigh-ton
'24 Grid Scrap" reads a flare
head in the Omaha Sunday News.
The "one man" is Coach Schulte, the
News goes on to explain.
First of all, we would like to in
form the News that 5,000 Nebraska
students also "block" the proposed
game, for reasons given elsewhere in
this column.
Moreover, we resent the attitude
of the Daily News in this matter. The
Daily News is putting Coach Schulte,
the mentor who developed the stone
wall Husker grid forward walls and
lurned out three Valley champion
ship track teams in as many years,
in a false light before the people of
Nebraska.
A little more display of Cornhusker
spirit, of boosting, not knocking the
State University, should be adopted
by the Daily News if it wants to hold
its place as a patriotic, progressive,
and constructive Nebraska newspaper.
The call has been issued for soph
omore candidates for the position of
track manager. For those men who
have not the physical ability neces
sary to the winning of the coveted
"N," the student manager plan of
fers a real opportunity to gain this
honor. The "N" sweater at the
end of the junior year and the trips
during the senior year more than
compensate the track manager for
the field work of the the sophomore
year.
The first issue of the Minnesota
Quarterly, literary magazine at the
Gopher institution, made its appear
ance last week. Practically all
schools in the country with an en
rollment as large as Nebraska's have
literary magazines as well as comic
magazines. Yet Nebraska now has
neither a literary or a comic maga
zine. Surely there is enough talent
and ability in the journalistic and
English departments of the Univer
sity to put out a monthly comic mag
azine and perhaps a quarterly liter
ary magazine.

American colleges are as follows:
"Had Lincoln gone to college, you
would never have heard of him.
"For certain mediocrites, colleges
are useful, giving young men without
much character an artificial set of
rules."
In answering Artnur, we would
like to quote from the Omaha World
Herald:
"If vou had diabetes, Mr. Bris
bane, wouldn't you be persuaded to
call for a doctor who had been to
a medical college? And wouldn't
you try the insulin cure, recently dis
covered by a college professor?
We have watched with interest the
agitation in the Omaha papers for a
Nebraska-Creighton game on the
gridiron next fall. Many incorrect
statements have been made by the
Omaha papers relative to such a
game. They say Nebraska students
are clamoring for a Creighton game,
that only one or two officials stand
in the way of the game, and so on,
all of which statements are untrue
and pernicious to the best interests
of the University.
To discourage this harmful agita
tion at Omaha, the Nebraskan may
state here that Nebraska students
do not favor a Creighton game. In
fact, Nebraska students are almost
unanimously opposed to such a con
test. They want to know what Ne
braska could gain by such a game.
Nebraska must schedule teams of
national renown if Nebraska is to
hold her high place in American foot
ball. Four Valley games are re
quired by the conference, and the
four other games must logically be
big games intersectional contests
which will give Nebraska the recog
nition she deserves.
Nebraska bears nothing but friend
ship and good will toward the Omaha
institution. But Cornhuskers find it
hard to forget the "razzberry" re
ceived at the hands of Creighton in
1920 and other times. In 1920 Ne
braska played Oklahoma at Omaha.
The entire Creighton student body
was present for the Creighton game
preceding the Husker fray. The
Hill-Toppers stayed for the Nebraska
game. They cheered consistently for
Oklahoma, gave Nebraska the "razz"
and generally played the part of
poor sports on this occasion. It is
hard for Nebraska to forget this in
cident.
Within a few years Creighton will
be in the Valley conference. Thanks
to Coach Chet Wynne and Director
Schabinger, their athletic standards
and teams are constantly improving.
When Creighton is admitted to the
Valley fold, then Nebraska should
and will play the Hill-Toppers. The
game will become a traditional bat
tle for the state championship. But
until Creighton is a member of the
conference, all talk and agitation for
a Creighton-Nebraska game is fool
ish and out of order.
Student Opinion.
Contributions to this column are very
welcome and invited. Student opinion is
valuable to the editorial staff of the paper,
consequently we welcome it.
tion as a mother pelican feeds her
chick by jamming it down our
throats. Others possibly the ma
jority), however, will not approve of
the penal institution methods.
Will mothers who have waited
anxiously for the happy reunion with
absent sons and daughters approve?
Will any parent approve when he
learns that his son must leave be
cause Nebraska has a retord of ex
acting more work days and doling out
fewer rest days than any other school
of its size?
Many students are not going home
because they cannot afford to spend
the money when the Christmas va
cation resolves itself into a stop
over between trains.
We, the student body of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, do not approve
of the short and curtailed vacation.
Your point of view is easily under
stood. It is commendable for uni
versity executives to work students
as much as they can just as it is
commendable for politicians to re
duce taxes. We need someone to be
actively interested in our education,
and, of course, we are grateful that
you are. But if this interest is
manifested by giving us a hollow-
chested festive season we would be
better off if we had no vacations.
Then we wouldn't be tempted to try
ta enjoy ourselves at Christmas.
An objection advanced by you is
that the tubercular vacation has been
printed on the University bulletin.
What of that? . If a printed univers
ity schedule showed an instructor in
dairy husbandry offering a class in
historical method wouldn't it be
corrected?
A student council committee has
shown that we are worked harder
and given less rest than any other
group of students in a university the
same size. Only the instructors
doubt it.
A statement by a dean declares
that "vacations were instituted for
the purpose of giving a little break
in the strenuous routine to which the
earnest student is subjected, a little
chance for rest and the building up
of strength for a new trial."
That's fine. That's exactly our
sentiment. But why place so strong
an emphasis upon the "little?"
Out of 209 days sparring with
man-sized curricula, is ten days of
vacation a "framework on which to
hang a few days of school?" We
doubt it.
Gentlemen, we respectively entreat
you to investigate. Sound out stu
dent opinion on the matter or the
opinion of any reasonable taxpayer.
Do not believe that this petition is
the work of a few loafers, anxious
to get out of as much school as
possible. It isn't. It is an appeal
from the organized student sentiment
pleading for, as you yourselves have
so eloquently expressed it, "a little
break in the strenuous routine."

Dear Editor:
After hearing our own speeches
at the Cornhusker banquet, Nebras
kans wonder what was said at the
Kalamazoo football banquet. The
Kazoo team had a schedule of ten
games and lost every ne of them.
It is easy enough lor a victorious
team to inspire great speeches at the
close of a season, but when the grid-
sters lese every contest, it must take
some clever manipulation of English
to tell the enthusiastic rooters what
the team has done and what it is
going to do.

Fifteen Cents is
Not Enough to
Take Him Home
There really isn't much buying
power in 15 cents. In the case of
Rufus Anthenus Spratt this idea had
just struck home. He sat in Social
Science study hall and tenderly
fingered the three fives which rested
in his pocket. With that fifteen
cents he could buy three small choco
late bars, three cocoa colas, thirty
postage stamps or three-fourths of a
pad of paper, but. he could not buy a
ticket home. No, he could not.
He gazed vacantly at LeLster Chi
chester who sat across from him. Now
there was a man who could go home,
could buy his girl a Christmas pres
ent, and have enough left over to
squander on a Sunday paper. Rufus'
brows contracted. It wasn't fair. No
sir, it wasn't fair. Why should he,
the illustrious .Rufus Anthenus
Spratt, remain in Lincoln over the
holidays, tend the dirty old furnace
at the house so the pipes wouldn't
freeze, squander his 15 cents on a
bowl of soup on December 25, and
otherwise enjoy himself, while this
other poor creature was home being
bored? No sir, it wasn't fair.
At this point in the argument
Lester looked up and what he saw
must have startled him for, "What's
the matter?" he whispered.
Rufus jumped. Then he gazed at
Lester uncertainly. Finding conso
lation in the other's face he drew
forth a sheet of notebook paper,
scribbled hurriedly upon its surface
and passed it across the table.
Lester glanced at it, smiled,
nodded, at Rufus and then quietly
