Then,
Freshman and sophomore may re
alize the fact that the more they
know, the more they realize that they
do not know anything, the more there
is to know, and the more they should
know, and furthermore that the more
a student learns how much there is to
learn, the less he feels he really
knows.
That's that.
TAXING FRATERNITIES.
Plans for combatting the move
ment to tax fraternity property at
the University of Kanusas by state
action, was discussed by the- Inter
fraternity Council at Lawrence. The
bill will come up in the legislature
and members of the couucil declare
it has some chance of passing unless
some organized lobbying is done by
fraternities to defeat it.
The bill, if brought up, will repeal
the present law which in substance
declares that fraternity property
shall be exempt from taxation.
Such a law is doubtless a good
thing. The state is not deprived of
much revenue by such a provision,
as the total taxes received from frat
ernities would not assume gigantic
proportions in any state. The state
would never miss the revenue.
Fraternities are a part of the Uni
versity system and provide lodging
for a large proportion of the students
of the school. As educational in
stitutiions are exempt from taxation,
so because of the close relationship,
fraternities might also be exempt.
Even school life has its hard -conditions.
"Why is this department called
the Rag Carpet?"
"Because our grandmothers were
familiar with most of its contents."

But now she aint.
Spring already has our feet itching
not for the "finals," but for a change,
and there are six more weeks to finish
Someone might say that two weeks
isn't very much, but it is one-third
of six, which we call a pretty fair
per cent.
This is what we mean : start school
two weeks earlier in the fall, after
everyone has been hard at his work
all summer and is glad to get back.
We can then have first semester
finals before holiday vacation while
everyone is a "going concern."
This will eliminate cramming with
stale minds after vacation and will
give us a new semester to start on.
When warm weather arrives and we
are all anxious to get to our summer
jobs and a rest, finishing two weeks
earlier will be appreciated. What do
some of . the other students think?
If logical, can it be done?

working on publications throughout
the campus will engage in journalis
tic or literary work after graduation.
Their work is, in other words, direct
preparation for later efforts.
When the Alumnus calls such work
a "negation of the University and col
lege ideals" we believe a grave error
is made. Preparation for some field
of endeavor, even in these unsettled
days, is still regarded as one of the
Therefore the practical experience
gained on the campus journals can be
called a direct contribution, rather
than a negation, it would seem, to one
of the aims of such an institution.

RAPPING CAMPUS ACTIVITIES
(Michigan Daily.)
In a recent issue of the Michigan
Alumnus, some statements are made
regarding campus activities upon
which we feel some comment desirable.
"Most students," says the editorial
in the Aiumnus, " men and wonven
seem to feel that their education is
really not complete without partici
pating in numberless so-called 'activi
ties,' social, dramatic, literary, ath
letic,and what not. They bring one
so runs the popular view into touch
with the hundreds of other student
moths fluttering about the glare of
Univesity life. But to an observer,
standing somewhat aloof, it seems
hectic and footless, a negation of the
University and college ideals. It is
all part of that dangerous half-true
epigram that has ruined more than
one promising Univesity career,
that the most important part of the
Univesity curriculum lies outside the
classroom. .
While we do not in this place, wish
to take issue wth the general theme
expressed by the Alumnus, we feel
that such a discussion is incomplete
without reference to one phase of the
situation neglected by the alumni ma
gazine. We refer to the fact that a
large number of students participat
ing in activities are gaining prac
tical preparation for the very fields
in which they intend to do their life
work. The literary activities are a case
in point. It is probably safe to say
that far more than half the students
THE LAST LAP.
School will soon" be over. About
six weeks more of studying and
classes and Nebraskans' will disperse
to the four corners of the "earth to
spend the summer.
The seniors are going for the last
time. They are now their own judges
as to whether they have improved the
four most precious years of their
lives. They are now at a place where
they can retrospect as to .whether
they got "value received" for their
time and money. University life for
them will only be a memory.
Underclassmen leave with a dif
ferent feeling, for they face a vaca
tion and look forward to the return
in September.
But all should buckle down to the
task ahead. The laggards who have
wasted the first part of the semester
have a chance to come back and re
trieve. The students who have con
scientiously done their work, should
not let up because of the pleasant
days and evenings.
Everyone should wind up the year
with a sprint.
