Engineers, if that ia the work of a
law student, the Law College Is
sorry.
The spirit of the Engineers is
BUILD. The spirit of the Laws is
JUSTICE. The individuals respon
sible for this act shall be punished.
Justice shall be dealt.

BOYS WILL BE BOYS.
The act of a few individuals often
reflects discredit upon a large group.
Some students, doubtless inspired by
the remembrance of some of the
clever high school pranks they played
before entering the University, deco
rated the Engineers arch by smears
of black paint bearing the illuminat
ing legend, "Law '24."
It is hard to believe that senior law
students would be guilty of such a
thoughtless' stunt The act was evi
dently not the sentiment of the Col
lege of Law, because a senior was
sent to the Engineers convocation to
present a resolution of the college de
ploring the incident and apoligizing
to the engineers for the act.
Rivalrv between the colleges mak
ing up the University of Nebraska is
a good thing as long as It is friendly,
and as long as the ultimate object is
the betterment and progress of the
whole University. Competition is to
be welcomed if it will stimulate the
colleges to promote the welfare of the
whole University. But there is no
place in the organization for college
activities that aim to make their in
dividual colleges overshadow and sur
pars tht: V3- of the Univ"2ri.y.
Faculties of both the College of
Engineering and the College of Law
have realized this and done every
thing possible to end the bitter strife
and foolish rivalry that has existed
in the past. Dean Seavey is to be
commended for his prompt action in
calling to the attention of the law
students this act and pointing out the
error of such a course.

THE CLASSIC BANK BOOK.
A ready sense of humor and per
haps a touch of fine irony caused Dr.
Eliot to suggest that his five-foot
shelf of classic literature, containing
all that is fundamentally necessary
to education, culture, information,
and diversion, be lengthened one
eight of an inchjy the addition of
that inspiring little volume the bank
book. For of what value is an ac
quaintance with Plato, Homer, Epic
tetus, Virgil, Voltaire, Froissart,
Chaucer, Shakespeare, Shelley, and
Keats, if the rent is overdue and the
coal bill remains unpaid? And what
shall it profit a man to master the
principles of Adam Smith's "Wealth
of Nations," if he have not the where
withal to buy a square meal? ,
Dr. Eliot can have no fear that the
needs of the body wil lbe forgotten
or made secondary to the cravings of
the mind. No one must be told to
garner a comfortable supply of dol
lars before seeking Muses. The bards
are most inspiring after a good din
ner when a cheery fire crackles in
the grate. Those who resort to the
classics in a time of adversity usually
seek in them a way to prosperity.
Far from the neglect of financial
gain, the real danger lies in surfeit
ing the body and starving the mind
on sugared water. In the homes of
the wealthy, Dr. Eliot's edition of
great works too often remains a deco
rative addition to the library, opened
only by the house-maid in her periodic
dusting.

TOM WISE SPEAKS AT
SPECIAL' CONVOCATION
Tells Students That Everyone
Should Have Dramatic
Training.
Pep, gingor, and sincerity were
preached and demonstrated by Tom
Wise, star of "The Old Soak," be
fore a special convocation sponsored
by the University Players yesterday
afternoon. The speaker was intro
duced by Miss Alice Howell, head of
the dramatic department, who lik
enad him to Thomas Jefferson.
Speaking of his trip from Omaha
to Lincoln, Mr. Wise said that he first
made that trip In the early 60's in a
covered wagon. He was reared in
Utah and the first dramatic perform
ance which he ever saw was "Ten
Nights in a Barroom." His sister
played the part of the little girl who
is killed. After witnessing her dra
matic entrance, Mr. Wise was rocked
to sleep on the knee of Brigham
Young.
He said that hs was forced to go
on the stage because he had failed at
everything else. He first started in
the show business with a company of
four people in a stage coach. Tbsy
travelled through the western coast
thA Rtasre coach auite unexpectedly
tho stage coach qquite unexpectedly
went over a cliff.
Mr. Wise considers himself the
father of David Warfleld, Jack Bar
rymore, Douglas Fairbanks and oth
ers because he sponsored their first
appearances.
"Don't fool yourself," he advised
students. "You know it if you have
ability. But be sure you have it or
you will be a hopeless failure."
Ha closed with a recitation of Rob
ert Service's poem, "Carry On."

THE COLLEGE COMIC.
Professor Rogers of Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, in addressing
the recent journalistic convention at
Cambridge, attacked the institution
of college comics. He stated that
these magazines had degenerated in
to little more than weak jokes on two
trite subjects petting parties and
liquor.
To illustrate this attack, Professor
Rogers used "The PlasticAge" issue
of the Dartmouth Jack O'Lantern.
The professor would have the college
comic play the jester to its own cam
pus by taking campus subjects and
ridiculing campu3 institutions.
The college comic has, in order to
increase its circulation, attempted to
nationalize its scope, and so has
strayed from campus topics in the
main. And this attmept to compete
with "Life" and "Judge" has met
with failure. The comics of the largo
eastern institutions have increased
their circulation some, it i3 true, but

tion of raising the standard of the
publication next year, and cheap sex
stuff and prohibition jokes which
are obsolete will be eliminated from
the magazine.

Student Opinion.
LAW STUDENT IS SORRY.
To the Engineers:
In every college with an enrollment
of several hundred students there is
always to be found a few unthinking
weasel-minded individuals who delight
in exhibiting their capacious mental
cavities by malicious destruction of
those tilings in which the majority of
the Bchool takes great pride. Such
was the act of marring your attract
ive archway.'
You worked late Saturday night
in completing the archway and today,
when the general public ia invited to
visit your display, your campua en
trance is ruined by the ape-like action
of some fifth century barbarian.

M I?
That's how you spell
"electrical industry"
The electrical industry must have trained engineers,
but its needs have broadened out beyond one group.
Today this industry offers opportunity to men of
virtually all professions.
W hatever the course you are now pursuing, what
ever the degree you take and whether you go on to
graduate study, you will find a market for your
training in this field with its vast manufacturing
and commercial activities.
But what will impress you even more than this
rllirorclrv rf nnnnrHinifV is the folden DrOHlise for
the future of electricity. Great now, it will be
greater tomorrow as great as you men choose to
make it.
Think of this as still an industry for young men,
with much of its potential development uncharted.
If you like to build, electricity is your field. From
now till graduation we suggest it will be worth your
while to investigate its possibilities.
