MISINFORMED STUDENT WRITES
LETTER.
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

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.

three separate drives a year, and al

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

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. It is
a pure, natural-white cream without any artificial
coloring whatsoever.
