Manacor Cireulattee) Maaaaar Clrcalatioa Maaaar SPEEDING. Almost every day the city dailies carry a front page with some such head as "Student Fined for Speed ing." The news value of the arrest seems to lie in the fact that it was a student who was fined. And it does, for the citizens who support the Uni versity are constantly watching to see whether the students are wast ing the advantages given to them so freely. The judges probably punish stud' ent offenders more severely than the offense warrants, but they do so on the assumption that the students should be more able to obey the law, The fact that University students are eyed suspiciously by the general populace should be enough in itself to put the students on guard against deliberate violations of the law. Yet many of them, carelessly or with a feeling that they are privileged, transgress the rules that are meant for everyone. It is easy to speed. If students persist in their haphazard law-break ing, fines will grow heavier per haps jail sentences will be imposed The consequences of detection make negligible the advantages of a few seconds saved by speeding. that will gather force for years to come with its program of political education and finally achieve re forms that are now regarded aa Uto pian. An organization to train men to vote properly need not be complica ted or profuse in its activities. An occasional series of meetings for boys and young men, with speakers of ability and authority on political topics, would suffice. QUARTERLIES. This week quarterly examinations are being given in many classes, and as usual the majority of the students are holding "seminars" or "cram ses sions." Yet, any one of them admits willingly that keeping up daily work eliminates both the uncertainty of passing the quarterly and the neces sity of "cramming." What a weak-willed lot are Uni versity students! They know that they came to college to train their minds and that study does the train ing. But they gage the amount of preparation in a course so as to se cure an average of just 70 in the eas ier courses, and 60 in the few diffi cult ones. If there is any time left, they waste it The material actually contained in texts is not to be memorized except ing in highly skilled professions. Lan guages and pure science and mathe matics are intended primarily to dis cipline the mind. There is nothing new about this statement but its sig nificance is often missed the pur pose of study is defeated by sluff ing through the greater part of the academic year. The student who learns just enough, on the night be fore, to pass in an examination, may remember what he learns just as long as the more methodical student who kept up his daily work, but he has not received nearly so lasting a help toward the training of his intellect. A student may go through college via the "seminar," never realizing that he is missing the most import ant part of his course training in thinking methods. College Press NO PLACE FOR CARS. More than 50 per cent of college students who fail to make their grades are week-end flunkers and even a larger per cent operate au tomobiles while attending school, according to a survey made by Hugh Fullerton, writing for the Liberty magazine. "Three to five per cent of each class in college flunks," says Full erton. "The percentage is increas ing rapidly, reaching as high as 12 per cent a year in some universities which are engaged in putting the screws on tne students to euro me modern tendency of boys to go to college merely to go to college rather than to get an education. Eleven of America s big univer sities have taken active measures to forbid or to discourage the pos session of automobiles by under graduates, and practically every faculty in the country is in active ODDosition to student ownership oi cars or possession of them while in college." The writer points out that in spite of opposition from automo biles student owned automobiles continue in popularity, due largely to thoughtlessness on the part of Darents. He stresses that aside from distracting a student's mind from studies, there is a heavy death and injury toll. Seventeen college men and girls were killed last year in car accidents and more than fif ty were seriously injured. About the only logical way to solve the problem was introduced in the University of Oklahoma by Dr. Stratton D. Brooks, former presi dent That rule provides for the expulsion from school of all per sons violating the no-car rule and is being enforced rigidly by Presi dent J. S. Buchanan. One student has been asked to withdraw charged with violating the rule. Suspension from school seems a little bitter medicine for a violation, apparently so trivial, but statistics show there is dire need for such regulation, and what is the use of having rules if they are not to helpful? The Oklahoma Daily. ippearance. "A liberal reward will be offered by the chairman of the committee for any information on the matter." be TO TRAIN VOTERS. The Junior League of Woman Vot ers is beginning its year's activities at the University. This organization trains women for their duties as vot ers to the end of eliminating the po litical evils of the republic. Men, ori ginally the only class of voters, seem never to have taken that much inter est in the coming generations. If this women's league makea better citizens of its members, a similar men's organization might well be formed. The active women's suffrage or ganizations built up during the long struggle of the sex for the franchise accounts for this leadership in train ing of future voters. Yet, men have been lax in the matter they have been slow to see the advantages of such an organization of youths. The tendency toward Republican ism because "my father was a Re publican" or Democracy because "my people have been Democrats for three generations," is much stronger among men than women. Years of experience -srith dishonest politicians have male men in way fatalistic. "Politic is crooked game," ia the verdict of Uncle Ezra. The franchising of women, how- Ten Years Ago The third exhibition game between the varsity and a combination of 'scrubs and freshmen" was staged before a crowd of about 400. The Yannigans used Kansas Aggie plays. The final score was 30 to 14 in fav or of the varsity, but the regulars had a "tough time" in winning. The Library suddenly began to be filled by the students. Professors and librarians were at a loss to ac count for the unusual interest in studying. The freshman Laws broke a long standing custom when everyone was present at tort class. "The first time in twenty-five years" said Pro fessor Wilson, when he had finished calling the roll. A group of seniors found a freshman's notebook in crim inal law with every case written up. The upperclassmen regarded it as a curio. They were unable to under stand, they told a reporter, why the freshmen had got their idea that it was necessary to write up all the cases and then attend class. The following clipping appeared on the front page of the Daily Nebras kan. It was taken from the Daily 111-ini: "All those disturbed by the gentle man in the Y. M. C. A. who sings like a siren in a cemetery and winds up with a noise like bricks falling into a cistern, kindly send thirteen rupes to the Bored of Health to help pay for immediate interment" Calendar October 16.

Annuals From Columbia to Texas Appear in Cornhusker Exchanges Notices Twenty Years Ago Coach Booth issued a call for heavier men to come out for places on the line. The backfield could not be bettered, the sports of the Daily Nebraskan said, but "beefier" and more substitutes for the line were necessary for "stiff" games. Captain Hicks of the Kansas U. football team sent a letter to Captain Benedict of Nebraska. The Kansan attempted to counteract the effect of a clipping from the Kansas stu dent paper that had appeared in The Daily Nebraskan. Hicks wrote that he hoped Nebraska would win the Missouri Valley title from the Has kell Ir.dians and regretted that more amicable relations did not exist be tween his university and Nebraska.

Some of these are the property of the Corn husker exchanges; some are bor rowed. These borrowed ones are al ways changing, new ones coming to take the place of those sent back. The Gopher, of Minnesota; The Badger, of Wisconsin; The Cactus, of Texas; and The Savitar, of Missouri are the most valuable ones in the file. A beauty section done in four col ors is the most striking feature of the Missouri annual. A number of wom en are suggested for the section, their photographs are sent to beauty ex perts for selection of the eight most beautiful ones. These are then r produced in natural colors for the book. Several campus scenes are also done in color. The Gopher of Minnesota placed third in the national contest A fea ture of the book is the reproduction of several paintings of scenes in Minnesota. There are also colored reproductions of the most important industries of the state. Minnesota successfully used the theme, "The University and the State." This is practically the same theme the Corn husker intends to use this year, "The Cornhusker of Service." This theme was decided upon before the Minne sota book had been received. Then there is the Wisconsin Badg er. The book is dedicated to Richard Theodore Ely, distinguished econo- BV"W .aolh an.
