Dr. Oswald Garrison Villard's stand against the tendency to con solidate newspapers, at the convoca tion Tuesday, seems well founded in that he strikes at what is probably the root of the common delusion that all news stories are contamina ted. The fact that one man can own a chain of newspapers has led many to believe that there is a super-organization, called the Associated Press, controlled by the capitalist class. The Associated Press is nothing more than a co-operative organiza tion of publishers such that every member is bound to furnish all news from his district to every other mem ber who cares to use it Yet the no- J tion of a prejudiced press persists in the minds of the masses, and the consolidation of newspapers serves to lend body to the idea. Dr. Villard said that the blind par tisanship of the past is disappearing, however, and that the ogressive party of Senator La Follette has re ceived fair treatment by metropoli tan papers in news stories of its ac tivities. The gradual concentration of the control of wealth in the hands of a few has encouraged consolidation of the press. While this has tended to create a sameness of editorial and news policies, a counter-acting force is appearing, Dr. Villard believes. The problem will work itsef out, he said, because of the increasingly in sistent demand of the people for oa biased news. Ten Years Ago Memorial Hall was filled with stu dents and faculty members, says The Daily Nebraskan, who came to hear the first Beethoven Symphony played by Mrs. Carrie Raymond and a string quartet. The Board of Regents requested the Chancellor to make public their statement supporting the neutrality proclamation of President Wilson. The statement was made after con sideration of a letter written them by Col. John G. Maher, published in the papers of October 5, in which he protested strongly against a speech made by Prof. F. M. Fling at chapel September 29. Colonel Maher said that Professor Fling had violated the neutrality proclamation and had urged the students to take sides. A freshman was taken into custo dy by the Lincoln police but released in the morning. He was arrested by a special officer who had been sta tioned in the gallery of the Oliver theater. The officer said the fresh man had dangled a cord over the rail ing to the annoyance of the theater goers below. UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN October 9 has been set for Tradition Day. All freshmen will participate in the exercises. The purpose of Tradition Day is to explain to the new class the meaning and sacred ness of the customs and duties of the institution. UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA Weekly bleacher rallies will be held every Thursday afternoon to show the team that the student body i behind .them 100 per cent strong. Twenty Years Ago The football team met Colorado at Denver. The account in The Daily Nebraskan does not say what Colo rado university the Cornhuskers met. Colorado won, 6 to 0, when Benedict fumbled on his 30-yard line and the western team carried the ball across on straight line bucks. Nebraska three times had the ball on the Colorado 4-yard line, but was held for downs. The Colorado coaches had insisted on 35-minute halves, and the Nebraskans and the Denver papers concurred in the opin ion that the rare atmosphere kept the Huskers from scoring. The second team was to meet a football aggregation from East Lin coln in place of the Hastings College team. The Hastings school cancelled the game at the last minute. No ac count of the outcome is given in The Daily Nebraskan files. College Press HEADS IN THE STARS. Rarely do magazine articles appear which are as thought-provoking, or as fine and lofty in their spirit, as that which Professor Irwin Edman has written for the October Century. It is 'entitled "Richard Kane Goes to College," and in it Professor Edman, with courage and frankness, asks "Are Our American College Teachers Corrupters of Youth?" His RkhaTd Kane is not a typical college man. There are many Rich ard Kanes in every American college, however. His natural appreciation for philosophy, literature and art is more outstanding than his creative genius, or his excellence in any one field. Vkhen Commencement comes, however, Richard Kane is utterly un fit to go out and tarn his daily bread. He has so much association with the great poets and philosophers that journalism, business, law, medicine, all seem to him to be mean and cheap and sordid. The explanation of Richard Kane's predicament is a s imple one, accord ing to Professor Edman. The fau't is chiefly that the professors cf lit erature, art and philosophy are too academic, too impractical in their outlook, while other professors, in the professional echook,. turn out thousands of students li)e t-o many boiler-plates or Ford cars. What our colleges must do, then, is to link up the ideals and inspira tion of Richard Kane with the practi cal world of every-day affairs. It is for the people with the artistic, sen sitive, beauty-loving natures to make their vision tell in the world outside. Why is it that corruption occasion ally flourishes in popular govern ments? It is partly because the peo ple with vision refuse to do their civic duty. Richard Kane would no doubt sneer at politics; his attitude is that it is too rotten for him to touch. Likewise with journalism; why do Hearsts and their like flourish, while honest and high-minded journalist, travel a rocky road? There are not enough Richard Kanes to enlist in the profession and thereby elevate its standards. Our Richard Kanes should be conserved. They should be in politics; they should be in joui nalism; they should fortify and strengthen business, the professions, and those fields of endeavor which need a spark of the Richard Kane spirit. j Professor Edman has hinted at a solution for Richard Kane's troubles.

As a football player he's a good poet LET'S admit that all men are not born for J gridiron honors, just as all men are not born poets. You can admire a man's grit for plugging away at the thing that comes hardest to him. He does derive benefit in developing himself where he is weakest. But to achieve real success it is only common wisdom to pick out the line for which you have a natural aptitude and go to it. Particularly if you are a freshman it may be useful to remind you of this principle, because it can help you start off on the right foot in both your campus activities and your college courses. If your fingers love the feel of a pencil, why not obey that impulse and come out for the publications? You can serve Alma Mater and yourself better as a first-class editor than a third class halfback. Similarly, when it comes to electing your col lege courses, you will be happier and more effi cient if you choose in accordance with your natural aptitude. The world needs many types of men. Find your line, and your college course will be a prep aration for a greater success.
