We' are printing a letter today in the Student Opinion column from a student who seems to disapprove of Nebraska's preparation for a recep tion for Sherwood Eddy. The student asks that his name be withheld. Whether this student heard Sher wood Eddy two years ago or not, the writer does not know. Whether this student is aware that Sherwood Eddy is not a missionary, the writer does not know, but it seems that the writer is laboring under a number of mis apprehensions and that he has serious ly warped the facts. For the benefit of this writer and other students who may not know the facts, here are a few that "A Stu dent" missed: Mr. Eddy does not collect one cent from Nebraska stu dents or students in any other institu tion. He does not have a thing to do with the publicity that is being of fered. It is handled by Nebraska stu dents. He does not know that there is to be a parade today. He is not coming here at the instance of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Eddy does not ask and does not know that classes are being dis missed while some students have that consuming desire to learn. He does not preach Christianity, for he has talked to students in every country on earth and he hasn't been playing the part of the missionary. And, the Y. M. C. A. did not have a thing to j do with the printing of the pamphlets that the writer so sarcastically quotes That, too, was the work of the students. Practically all of the work of pre paration for the reception of Mr. Eddy has been done by the students. If they felt that it were for the detri ment of the grand old institution, cer tainly Mr Eddy would be given an in vitation to stop some place else. Outside of these few misapprehen sions, the article is worthy of con federation. It gave some one an op portunity to try to convey a false im pression of Mr. Eddy and incidental ly gave a boost for the men who will give the first of his series of lectures at the St Faul's Church at 11 o'clock today immediately after the parade which rrill form at 12th and R streets at 10:40 o'clock.

How many people thought that the spring vacation was too long? How many pieces of bread make a sandwich? ones of their choice was probably more practical. It would have been more successful inasmuch as any Bingle tax plan would very probably have to be operated on an optional basis. Both proposals will be dropped. It was estimated that neither plan would have worked out successfully unless 2,000 students expressed themselves as in favor of the change, and as only 150 felt this way, the single tax can rest in peace. Student Opinion. A LICHT VOTE. Only 230 students voted yesterday Less than five per cent of the regis tered students were intrested enuogh to cast their votes in the sinele tax referendum, a proposal that every one should be interested in, one way or an other. The single tax proposal carried bv a vote of 156 to 78, but as a majority of 2,000 was required for its adoption, the plans will be dropped. The amendment to the constitution of the Student Council changing the method of nominating candidates for the Student Council carried. The present system was neither repre sentative nor fair, and the method of having the candidates file for the positions is a great improvement Some sort of single tax would pro bably be a good thing for the Univer sity, but it is questionable whether either of the two plans that were submitted would have been success ful here. The blanket tax of $15 would probably not have been a suc cess if operated on an optional basis, leaving it to the student whether or not he subscribed. The alternative plan of having three separate drives a year, and al lowing the students to go into the THINKS EDDY A WASTE OF TIME. To the Editors On Wednesday morning, "Sher wood Eddy, internationally known as a student leader and orator, will ar rive in Lincoln." I quote from the Tuesday issue of the Daily Nebraskan. At 10:30, the paper informs us, all classes will be excused so that the entire student body may fom a par ade in his honor and may march to St Paul's church, there to listen to the famous gentleman. With this auspiciuos beginning, Mr. Eddy will devote three days to the noble task of enlightening the poor benighted students through the medium of ad dresses and conferences. Enlightenment is a worthy end; and when it comes to torchlight pro cessions, Mr. Eddy seems to be per fectly capable of leading the way. He has spent a number of years in distributing Y. M. C. A. ideals among the colleges and universities of our country, and everywhere he has been welcomed by a great effusion of rah rah Christianity. There's nothing like a brass band, a huge parade, and a few cheers for God, humanity, and Mr. Eddy to arouse the true spirit of religious fervor. For three days, I understnd, the student body may feel free to desert all classes which happen to come dur ing the hours he is speaking. The authorities hive hit upon an excell ent scheme to draw crowds. Stu dents would always prefer to listen to Mr. Eddy, or to anyone else, than to be confined to classrooms where they might learn something. Nay, I believe that the authorities have even gone so far as to deprive all students of the right to attend classes at certain specified times, even though said students may have a consuming desire to learn at those particular hours. In taking this action the authorit ies have been very considerate of Mr. Eddy. It would never do to run the competition of educational processes when such a famous man was in town. And especially is this true since Mr. Eddy has been so kind as to cause this interruption in the rythm f Nebraska's university life for the second time within this school generation. Most students have to content themselves if they hear him once; we get to hear him twice. Now what will Mr. Eddy talk about and what is the remarkable value of his words that they outweigh all the courses of study in the University? No doubt, since he is "a true scholar, a student of human affairs, a world traveler, a Christian statesman," I quote from a folder which is Tur nished by the Y. M.C. A. except for the capital "C" in "Christian," which is my own, no doubt he will talk on religious, Social, and "world" pro blems. With no personal reflection upon Mr. Eddy, I do not believe any man can talk for three days on those subjects so well that it warrants the closing of any classes so that the stu dents may hear him. There are prv fessors in the University who know more about each one of .the subjects about which Mr. Eddy will talk than he does. They may not be so elo quent as "the student leader," but I doubt even that Yet according to the decree, they must keep reverent silence while Mr. Eddy delivers his "message." A STUDENT. and theosophy; he can tell you all about Mrs. Malaprop, the Valkyries, and Narcissus; he knows of Paul Bun yan and is interested in Andy Gump and he is well posted on national and srt nolitics. In fact, it is almost impossible to touch something about which he has no clear conception. Mnrpover. he is not a book worm, he is popular with the fellows, and he likes to fuss. Nobody regards him as amounting to any more than any body else. One thing sure, that man has an education. ' In this age of specialization and limitation of interests, that student stands out as a splendid example of what a man should do for himself. He may never amount to any more than the rest of us so far as the world measures success, but that means nothing. He has obtained that for which so many of us strive but fail to get because we centralize our interests on some little point Notices.

Special Sunday evening dP ner. n 'home of your lindell party house The College Press. A MODERN "IF." (Wisconsin Daily Cardinal.) Two stndents were speaking of a third student, one who is known on this campus. This is the substance of their remarks: "That chap is earn ing most of his way through college, is getting an average of 90, and is taking part and holding major posi tions in several outside activities. He is interested in everything even though he is entering (a strictly narrow and limited pro fession.) But even if he is, he has not limited himself to that, alone for he has clear conceptions on almost every subject" He can discuss torts and hydrostatics as intelligently as any lawyer or engineer; he is perfect ly at home in the discussion of the fine points of a case with a group of law students; he is well read in medi cal sciences and can discuss soils with any agricultural student; can define a fugue and discuss harmonics or dis cuss the theory of relativity if you wish; he is well versed in chemistry can give the correct entomological classification of any handy bug; he knows the Malthusaian Law and the law of monopoly price and can argue behavioristic psychology with any psychologist on the hill ; he can quote Chaucer, the Divine Comedy, the Bible, and Homer and he has a fair conception of the Koran, Buddhism, A Class Distinction The Hinge-Cap is the insignia of Williams Shaving Cream and of Williams only. Youll notice three things about Williams every time you shave. 1. Williams lather is heavier and holds the moisture in against the beard. Quicker and more thorough softening takes place. 2. Williams lather lubri cates your skin your razor actually seems to "glide" the hairs off. 3. Williams lather leaves the skin in marvelously fine condition. No matter how frequently you shave, your face stays cool, smooth and comfortable. Youll enjoy every shave with Williams.
