ARE YOU AN ATHLETE?
Last year Nebraska had first-
class track team, which boasted of
a number of individual stars. Sev
eral of these stars are missing this
year. Noble, Lloyd and Hartley are
not in the lineup this season.
The track team gained fame for
thefr alma mater in every competi
tion that they entered last year. It
is naturally the hope and fond de
sire of every loyal Nebraska under
graduate and alumnus that this
noteworthy performance be repeated
this year.
Taking the place of the veterans
who were lost by graduation are a
number of sophomores and others
who did not go out last year. These
positions are not easy to fill, and it
is readily seen that the new men
without a doubt will have plenty to
do, handicapped as they are by the
lack of experience" in college ath
letics. At the present time on this campus
there are many students who have
ability at track. Some of these are
aware of their ability, while others
realize that they have some ability,
but think that they are not good
enough. Consequently they do not
give it a "try." It is to these per
sons that we appeal to go out, where
capable coaches are ready and able
to assist every one who can give some
time, and where all latent material
will be developed and used.
First place winners are not the
only ones that count. To win a
meet, a team must have men who
will win second, third, fourth and
fifth places and these men have the
same opportunity of earning their
"S," although it takes a little longer
than it does the men who can
win "firsts."
Nebraska needs men in all events.
If the available material that we
have here can be developed and per
suaded to go out so the coaching
ftaff can have a chance at them, it
is more than likely that we will see
one of the best track teams in years.
The opportunity is especially of
fered to men who have some ability
along these lines to distinguish them
selves, support their university and
aid in their physical development.
Are you one of them?

Getting the Most From
Collet;?
(McGill Daily)
We sometimes wonder whether
students realize that what they get
out of a college education is directly
proportional to what they put into
the community life of the university.
The old idea that education means
solely the accumulation of knowledge
is fast dying' out, and nowadays we
expect much more from the educated
man than the acquirements of a pe
dant or an efficiency expert. Edu
cation is coming to be regarded as
a training in wisdom rather than a
sort of force pump of knowledge.
It is a discipline, a way of living, an
attitude towards life, and the mea
sure of its success or failure is in
the character that it produces.
This is the reason why so much
time is devoted at our univesities to
activities of an unacademic nature,
and an opportunity given to all to
enter in the community life afforded
by social and athletic events. There
are often more of the character
building qualities of intelligence,
pluck, sportsmanship, to be found on
the gridiron or in the ring than in a
classroom or lecture hall and it often
ti'res more industry or ability to ad
equately fulfil a position of respon
sibility on the executive staff of an
undergraduate organization than to
swat up and pass a stiff exam. We
do not mean to imply by this that
RAG CARPET EST
We heard in freshman lecture this
morning that there were lots of stand
ing jokes around the campus.
"I say, old man, you had r y girl
out last night."
"Tut, tut, don't mention it. You
can do' me a favor some day."

If the proper study of mankind is

so many students flunk.
"I was talking to your girl today."
"Are you sure that you were doing
the talking?"
"Yes."
"Then it wasn't my girl."

classrooms and professors and exam
inations, are unimportant. But it is
not necessary to stress this impor
tance. a are compelled to recog
nize it whether we want to or not
the one-eight rule, the necessity of
passing, and need of fitting ourselves
for a profession, all brings home to
us the value of that side of educa
tion. But an eager participation in
the activities of college life is not
compulsory. The character-build
ing value of mingling with your
fellows cannot be recognized by rule
and statute, and consequently the
student who wants to get the most
out of college life must attend to
this side of his education for him
self.
There are, of course, those who
do not take part in college activities
as much as they possibly can; there
are more who do so to a limited ex
tent; but there are too many mis
guided wasters who go through col
lege and get about as much of the
experience as if tney were taxing
correspondence course or studying
with a private tutor.
We wish we could impress the
fact upon every student at this uni
versity that the aim of a college ed
ucation is to build character and
turn out men and gentlemen ac
complished in the art of living.
Be interested in your fellow stu
dents. Get to know them, make
friends.
If you are physically fit, get into
some athletic activity tne univer-
ty provides enough to suit every
body and if you're not fit, get so.
Join some of the many clubs and
societies, take an active interest in
them, attend meetings, and don't be
afraid to get up on your feet and
take part in the discussion.
Be proud of your university and
live to the fullest extent in the com
munity life of the college.
This is the greatest way to get the
greatest benefit from your college
education, and you can get only
hat you put into it. Make the
most of your opportunities to
ticipate in the active life of the
university.

SAYS WOMEN SHOULD
ENTER SOCIAL SERVICE
University of Oklahoma, Feb.26.
"The chief failing of the college
woman of today is that she does not
devote herself to the social better
ment of her community. She neglects
the social development for the per
sonal," Dr. Elizabeth Kemper Adams,
nationally known authority on voca
tions for women, said to an inter
viewer here.
"It is for community uplift that
the college girl should prepare," Doc
tor Adams added. "Its necessities
are unlimited, although the majority
of educated women shun their duty
to the small community."
Doctor Adams hesitated to express
her views concerning the advisability
of women entering politics. I think,"
she finally said, "that women are not
generally f'tted for public office.
Women who have been successful in
office were fitted for public service
by their education and personal qual
ities." Judge Florence Allen of Ohio
was cited as a sucessful woman office
holder.
Doctor Adams is making a tour of
universities interested in vocational
guidance for women. Her lecture
tour was begun by the Girl Scouts
of America, of which she is educa
tional secretary.

Campus Initiations.
We wonder if members of the hon
orary band fraternity believe their
public initiation added very much to
the respect and dignity of their or
ganization last friday.
Instead of confining the horse-play
and indignities to which their initi
ates were subject to the headquarters
of the fraternity, the bandsmen
forced the rest of the student body
and faculty to be witness by bnne-
ing it out on the campus. Through
out the day students in the uniform
of the band went blatting about on
their way to and from classes.
The rest of the campus does not
care to watch the ridiculous and silly
antics of men being initiated. It
cheapens any organization to bring
its initiation into public gaze. It
might be appropriate in high schools
but it is decidely out of place in col
leges.
If it is an honor to be a member
of the band fraternity, the organiza-
practices of this nature. The rest
of the campus becomes disgusted
when occurences of this kind are
seen.
