The overwhelming victory of No tre Dame Saturday has convinced Ne braska followers that Rockne's team is the best in the country. The Corn huskers were literally unable to halt the "four horsemen." But the stu dents must not forget for an instant that the Nebraska team which lost Saturday is still Nebraska's team. The squad not only deserves, but is entitled to an enthusiastic welcome home. If it were a disgrace to lose to Notre Dame, the University should share in the disgrace; but it is no dis grace to be beaten once in three years by the nation's best. The games with the Kansas Aggies and the Oregon Aggies are still un played, and it will take a strong team, with undivided and unfaltering student support, to win those games. There must be no falling off of confidence in the team. The Ne braska squad has the ability to win the Missouri Valley conference title this year, and Missouri Valley foot ball is as hard to play as any in the coonrty. If every student who wishes to begin his summer work June 1 or before tries to make such ' arrangements most of the final examinations in the end, will be given before Roundup week. The Instructors will be put to Infinitely more trouble, for their records will be scattered, their ex aminations must be varied many times, and they will have no accurate gauge of the relative quality of work done by their students. Then, there are the students to be considered. They must study for fi nal examinations and daily work at the same time if they try to get away from tha University in time to take up necessary summer em ployment Consequently, their scholastic averages will fall, and what is more important they will learn less. The alumni should be considered in fixing the schedule for the end of the academic year, but the Univer sity is or should be operated primar ily for the convenience of the stu dents. And in this case, it seems, convenience is a mild term. Many of the students must work there no alternative. THE CORNHUSKER. The sales campaign for the 1925 Cornhusker begins Monday and the yearbook is in as great need as ever of subscriptions. The Cornhusker is a ' worthy representative of the University and every student who is able to should order a copy, for each book sold brings the year's venture nearer to financial security. The usefulness of the Cornhusker is the most valid reason for its publi cation, but it is a sufficient reason in itself. The small outlay neces sary for purchase of a copy is war ranted by the service it makes avail able to the purchaser, to the Uni versity, and to the state cf Nebraska. The Cornhusker "preserves the present for the future" in it's sec tions of photographs of members of the junior and senior classes with the accompanying sketches of their Uni versity activities. The appearance of the campus is preserved in the scenic section for comparison with the improvements of the future. In Nebraska, the annual serves to present the case of the University to the people. Through the advertis ing accomplished by students taking the book to their homes there is greater likelihood this year of se curing new legislative appropriations the University needs. Again, many of the better students who might have gone to other institutions are brought to Nebraska. In other states the Cornhusker helps the other student publications to give the state a high place in com parison with other commonwealths, and to increase the prestige of the University among other institutions of higher learning. The best of which the staff is capable is being given to the produc tion of the Cornhusker. The stu dents should support this student ac tivity and secure to themselves a re minder of this year of their attend ance at Nebraska. The College Press "Leaders" Who Are Followers. On the campus there are many persons who modestly designate themselves as "leaders." They have in many instances achieved their heights of prominence by work and an equal number of cases by that indefinitely established but much talked of quantity known as "pull." Some of them may be designated as handshakers, others as joiners, many more as conformists. A limited few have sufficient individuality and strength of character to stand for what they know to be the worth while. Much talk is heard today about the number of students who are care less about their morals and personal habits, who do too much drinking. Rumors are prevalent concerning the Vet" parties and wild times of the student community. Much of this of course is unjustified, but there are a significant few who indulge in prac tices which are a disgrace to the generation. In this minority are many of these would-be leaders either as active participants or as conformists. Organizations of students whose purpose it should be to foster a better sort of law-abiding spirit are often most prominent in the promo tion of practices which are question able in character and at times defi nitely reprehensible. The "leaders" are followers of the mob and exhibit either an astonishing lack of respon sibility or an unforgiving misunder standing of their mission in life. If they have designs on campus politi cal jobs their actions can be justified by their fear of public opinion, if they are joiners they are afraid that those whose influence is essential to their advancement will think they lack courage. In those, however, who have already attained their am bitions, the conformist attitude is in comprehensible. They live down to the level instead of attempting in their own way to raise the general level of intelligence. Until prominent students and their influential organizations take a stand for what they know in their innermost self to be the right the excessive breaking of the law in Uni versity communities will never be eliminated to any great extent. Michigan Daily. Twenty Years Ago A mass meeting was called to im press on every student the fact that it was his duty to come out to the coming game with Bellevue and aid in the Shedd benefit. The entire proceeds of this game were to be turned over to "Chic" Shedd, var sity end, who was injured while on the football field. Under the column "In Other Col leges" there was an exchange from the University of California stating that there would be no coed rooters at the football games. A movement by some of the women in favor of public demonstrations was opposed by the yell leader. SCHEDULE CHANGED. The University Senate recently changed the schedule of events in the period taken up by finaal exami nations for the second semester and Roundup week. The action taken, placing 'final examinations after the events in honor of the alumni, will be found effective in bringing the graduates back to the campus with the activity of the University at its height. The visit will be made more pleasant for the alumni through the opportunity of meeting many of the undergraduates. There is a practical side to the question, however, which the Senate probably did not overlook, but to which it may not have given enough weight in making its decision. Many students, perhaps a majority, must work during the summer months to accumulate enough money to carry them through the next academic year. Many chances for summer em ployment will be nitsed if these stu dents are forced to wait until after Jane 1 to take their examinations. pecUl arrangement with instruc tors is always possible, certainly, but Ten Years Ago Two clans for campus extension had been submitted to the board of resents. Appropriations had been made for three million dollars for the extension of the campus and the erection of more than a score of new bnildines. One of the plans was to leave Twelfth Street open and not to tear down University HalL The other nlan nronosed was to close Twelfth Streri and to do away with University HalL This latter plan had a laree court in the middle with the buildings grouped around It Both plans called for the erection of ap proximately twenty-five new build ings. caps at the clothing store and burned them at the main gate of the cam pus. The class fight was over. The next day an article appeared In The Daily Nebraskan which said: "Never before In the history of the University has such a great class dis turbance occurred. The display or college spirit was simply wonderful and the combative spirits of the rival classmen was wrought up to a con siderable degree. There were no lim its at all. Nowhere among the stu dents was a word of caution raised. Everyone seemed to approve of the day's doings. The surprise is that the trirla were In the fight also, and they must be given credit for doing their share," The issue of the Nebraskan which contained details of the defeat of the freshmen and burning of the class ce.ps was interfered with to some ex tent bv what was believed to have been first-year men. The entire staff gathered at the Western Newspaper Union and there continued to put out the extra edition. About the time when the papers would have been taken to Station A for distribu tion, several of the Staff members left the newspaper union with a dum my package of newspapers. In the meantime the real papers were taken out the back way and hurried to Station A before the dummy package could arrive. It was in this way that record of the fight was kept and papers distributed. Notices Sophomore Olympics Trvonta for soDhomore boxing will be held, Thursday at 4 o'clock in the Armory. Corncobs.

Examine yourself most searchingi7 to find out just what kind of work you have a natural aptitude for. Don't leave your career to chance. Don't be satisfied with any nonchalant observation of what may seem to be your best field. ' Upperclassmen who have applied this careful self-study will tell you it helped them pick out the "major" which fell in most closely with their natural fitness. The result greater in terest and greater profit through their whole college course. Graduates will tell you that the man who turns the microscope on himself is happiest in his choice of a life-work. It comes down to this some patient analysis now may be the means of putting you on the right track for the rest of your life.
