ANNOUNCING THE WINNING BALK PEACE PLAN.
With deep satisfaction we present for the consideration and vote of
the American people the plan selected by the jury as entitled to the world
peace award under the conditions.
The plans came from every group in American life. Some were obvi
ously from life-long students; some were from persons who have studied
little, but who have themselves seen the horror of war or who are even
now living out its tragedy in an attempt to eke out an humble existence
without a soldier bonus.
Through the plans as a whole runs this dominant current:
That- if war is to be prevented, there must be a right-about-face, or
even a to-the-rear-march on the part of all the nations of the world, includ
ing the Scandinavian. ,
It is the plan of the committee to submit this winning plan to a refer
endum of the students at Nebraska. In order to make the result authori
tative, and to insure that certain persons on the campus will not, from force
of habit, stuff the ballot boxes, the committee is requiring that one dime
(10c) be enclosed in the ballot. Any student may vote as many times as
convenient under these conditions. The plan is as follows:
t va fho novmnnpnt court of iustice under the conditions outlined
by Governor Bryan, with an equal share with England and France in all
aggrandizement policies to be carried out.

GO OUT FOR TRACK.
Cornhusker men, if Knute Rockne
offered to give you personal instruc
tion in football with the purpose of
making an all-American star cut of
you, would you refuse his offer? Ab
solutely not! Yet every Cornhusker
has an equal or greater opportunity
in athletics.
Coach Henry F. "Indian" Sohulte,
who has developed such Olympic stars
world's champions as Bob Simp
son, Brutus Hamilton, and Jackson
Scholtz, is willing and anxious to
help you become a track star to
wir- your "N."
In football and other sflorts it is
impossible for a man without a large
amount of natural ability to win a
letter. These sports demand a cer
tain type of physique which but few
individuals possess. Thus these sports
offer little or no chance for most
men. This is not so in track, how
ever. In track, the international sport,
.every man has a chance, for most
ai.d consistent effort, rather than
natural ability. The man who is per
severing and consistent will win in
track. Endurance is a chief factor
in success on the cinder path, and
earnest and consistent endeavor.

But every man has an equal chance

number of students that opportuni
ties for the individual student to
express himself are infrequent. This
situation can only lead to one thing,
a lowering of the standards of scho
lastic attainment at Nebraska. Some
action to relieve this congested con
dition is necessary for the best in
terests of both the faculty and stu
dents of Nebraska University.
But 183 votes on the Bok peace
pian were cast at the University of
Kansas out of an enrollment of
3,r00 students and facuty. The same
lack of interest in this great ques
tion has been reported at other in
stitutions. This is a deplorable sit
uation. When college students, sup
posedly the cream of the intelligence
und mentality of the nation, take such
little interest in such a question of
international aspects, what can we
expect from the great mass of the
np.-.nle. uneducated and of a lower
I I F
intellect.
Until the college students of the
country take a whole-hearted inter
c3t in national affairs, America's
world development will lag. The
fundamental factor in the success of
democracy is the interest and partici
pation of all the people.. The lack
of interest shown by college students
in the Bok peace plan does not speak
well for college education and college
students.
President Lowell of Harvard, real
izinir the physical limitations of Uni
versity faculty, issued the folowing
ultimatum to the board of overseers
"We have been brought to a position
where either the sevvics we can ren
der our students must be reduced
or their number for a time must be
limited, and between these two alter
natives we can hardly choose.
A situation somewhat compai 'Lle
to that at Harvard now exists at Ne
braska. Classes in various subjects
are badly over-crowded, and the pro
fessors are overtaxed. The students
do not get the full benefit of the
course, and the professor is not able
to do his best work with such a large
group. The University is growing

rapidly becoming acute.

An Oxford student from Kansas,
telling about conditions at Oxford,
gave some interesting facts about
the great English institution. Con
cerning the educational system there
he said, "The Oxford system is the
tutorial . svstem. Students are as
signed to an instructor, who advises
them what to do, and they go and do
it themselves, being largely thrown
on their own initiative.
More of this type of instruction
should be used at the University. Stu
dei'ts should be made more independ
ent and left to their own resources
more in gaining an education. Of
course, their lines of endeavor should
be carefully directed by the faculty,
but the actual process of learning
should be the problem of the student
alone. Under such a system, the in
different student, who has to be
constantly prodded and carried along,
would drop out, and not serve as a
check on the progress of the more
ambitious student.
This Kansas Oxford student also
reported that 90 per cent of the men
at Oxford take part in sports every
afternoon. Physical exercise is given
the highest evaluation at Oxford, the
seat of learning. The Oxford student
body, probably the greatest collec
tion of brilliant minds to be found
anywhere, finds it worthwhile to
spend an hour or so in physical ex
ercise practically every day. The
importance and necessity of physical
exercise in the daily life of the stu
dent cannot be over-estimated. Walk
ing to school and a few hours a week
in drilling are not enough for men
stude.its.
