BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT
The state basket ball tournament
will be held here March 6, 7, and 8.
At that time more than two hundred
and forty high schools will be repre
sented by teams, and there will be
between one thousand and fifteen
hundred people in attendance from
all over the state.
Many of these visitors are seniors
in high school and a large percentage
will go to some college or university
next year. But many probably have
no plans for after graduation from
high school, either because they think
that their finances will not permit it
or because they have not the desire
for higher educatiion.
The University of Nebraska and
everyone conected with it have a two
fold duty. The first is to "sell" the
University and its advantages to
every high school student, so that
when they finish, they will want to
come here to complete their educa
tion. The second is to see that less
fortunate students in a financial way
are informed as to the possibilities of
earning their way through school.
There is a place in this school for
everyone, no matter what his finan
cial condition may be. There are
many ways that a student without
means can earn enough to pay his
expenses. Many Lincoln families are
ready to offer a room to a student in
return for work. There are many
places where a student can work for
his board, and still numerous other
jobs that' are open to part-time em
ployees.
Every student should take it upon
himself to see that every high school
visitor be informed as to the advan
tages of our University. Every vis
itor should bo acquainted with the
situation regarding earning one's
way.
It is a great oportunity for the Uni
versity to display its' wares to repre
sentatives of ev?ry city and hamlet in
the state, and everything should be
done to make the stay of the visitors
pleasant and agreeable so that they
will leave Lincoln with a pleasant
memory of the University and its stu
dents, and with n desire to come back
at the first oportunity.
Advertise the University.

and women for about the same pay
that they must give to the ordinary
employee. They would receive the
same amount of work and fill their
positions with persons who would de
velop much faster and in a short time
outstrip the average employee. There
are many exceptions of course, but
we are dealing only with averages as
brought out by statistics of efficiency
experts.
Alumni of the University would
do well to consider University grad
uates for positions, and other Ne
braska business men could get many

Student Opinion.
EMPLOYING COLLEGE PEEOPLE
P. M. Cullough, '17, of the North
western Bell Telephone company of
Omaha, visited the University Thurs
day to offer employfent to engineer
ing and business students. This de
monstrates the foresight of some of
the large corporations of the country.
The General Electric company and
the Western Electric company and
others, employ as many college grad
uates as possible. It has been proved
that college graduates are more ef
ficient employees, learn the details
of their work far more readily, and
become efficient faster than the per
sons who have not had the advantages
of a college education.
What a fine thing it would be if
more Nebraska concerns would look
to the University for employees.
Where is there a beter field to find
suitable employees?
It is the popular impresion in some
circles that the college man has the
notion that upon graduation he will
receive a position high up the ladder
but this is not true. Most college
men realize thae when they finish
and get ready to begin work, they
must start at the bottom )ike the per
son who has never attended a Uni
versity. They understand this con
dition, but believe that they will be
able to go up the ladder quicker. The
college man bases his ambition on
the fact that with the advantages of
more training he will advance faster
than the person who has not had this
advantage.
It is surprising that more business
men do not avail themselves of the
opportunity to employ college men
THINKS DEBATERS SHOULD GET
"N"
The ambition of every man in
school should be to get a letter in
something or other, and to get a let
ter, at the present time, means to
have athletic ability. There is only
one sport, rifling, in which the man
does not have to be developed physi
cally in some way or other. In rifl
ing, even, the success of a man de
pends on his keen eyesight and the
steadiness of his nerves.
And so we should offer some field
in which a man may make an N, even
though he be physically disqualified.
And that field would logically be de
bating. Men have to work hard, and
train, and practically sweat blood to
get their N on the athletic field, and
that is one of the arguments for not
giving a letter to men that debate.
That attitude should not be taken,
however when we come to realize
that instead of undergoing a strenu
ous physical exercise, they are stuck
up in stuffy rooms, poring over
strange works and digging out facts.
Which prospect is more attractive?
I think in nine cases out of ten, a
man should rather go out and work
hard on the athletic field than tax
his brains for hours trying to perfect
one little point in his argument.
I am sure that the men who have
represented Nebraska on her debate
teams in the past have been true
representative Nebraskans, worthy of
wearing our letter. They have gone
out and fought and fought hard with
other teams to uphold the honor of
the institution, and yet alt he credit
they receive, is the paltry praise a
line or two of print might give them.
And it is for this very reason, that
we do not have many out for debat
ing. There is a lot of hard work, and
the honors are few.
If the "N" Club proposes to remain
a representative group, it can only do
so by adding debating to their lists.
If we want men to keep as their main
ambition throughout their school ca
reer to make a letter we want to j
offer them a way in which to make i
the letter, other than physical ability.
The debaters of this school have a
right to be honored, and this is the
one appropriate wey of doing so.

At present, while youth is being
criticised, it is sitting back observing,
laying the foundation for the struc

as a safe place for the old folks in

YOUTHFUL VIEWS
(Daily Kansan)
It would probably be a dangerous
world to live in, if the affairs of
state and of business were in the
hands of youth. Things might move
at a terrific reckless speed. The rate
of money-spending would hardly sur
pass the snobbing and the old folks
might live in misery.
With things as they are, youth sits
back stretching its "leather neck" to
?e and hear all it can.
The old folks are doing fine. They
have a prohibition law that is ob
served occasionally; two shameful
scandals are in the process of de
velopment as a result of the politi
cal system; and the Ku Klux Klan
is on hand to help save the nation.
The old folps are strangers to the
political life of the nation. Per
haps the present mess will open at
least one eye on something other
than youth. Perhaps in the coming
presidential election some of them
