Nawa Editor prompts original thought tends to lose its influence over the mind of the student In this age of co-operation, every individual considers first whether his action or word will injure some group; unless he decides that it can not possibly do so, he drops his origi nal intention, no matter how excel lent it may have been. Organization into groups is the most effective means of securing what every member of that group wt,nts, certainly, but the "team work on the campus" of which the Call' firnian speaks leaves Jess character building responsibility for the indi v.'dual. Further organization on the American college campus should be undertaken only after making cer tain that the present abundance of activities is justified.

"Iowa States's unexpected victory over Drake last Saturday changed the standing fn the Missouri Valley conference and placed Missouri in the lead," reads a New York dis patch in one of the Lincoln dailies Monday evening. "If Missouri fails to beat Kansas in their annual game on Thursday, Nebraska can claim the championship." The scribe who wrote that is very magnanimous. He concedes that Nebraska can claim the champion' ship if Missouri loses two games. The Huskers won over the Tigers 14 U- 7 in a mid-season conflict. Ne biaska and Missouri have each lost one game, then. But Missouri is still in the lead! The reasoning of the man who wrote that dispatch is difficult to follow. Whether Missouri wins from Kans as or not, Nebraska does not admit for an instant that any other team in the conference has a prior claim to the title for the year 1924. AT STANFORD. A Stanford senior was handcuffed and chained to a tree for an hour one day last week, while hundreds of students crowded around hurling taunts at him. To his coat was pin ned a card bearing the words "A Traitor to Stanford." He had written a signed letter to the student daily concerning the break in athletic re lations between Stanford and the University of Southern California; bis letter suggested that Stanford "clean her own skirts" first. The press account of the event that reached the Daily Nebraskan office said he had been made the subject of numerous denunciations by ath letic officials as well as students. Half way across the continent from California, Nebraska students' are in no position to say whether that senior was a traitor to Stan ford. But it is evident that because his views of the situation did not co incide with those of his mates he was made the victim of "mob" ac tion. His position was strengthened hy the ill-treatment he received. If that student had not spoken truth in his letter, then a few words in reply would have been sufficient to make the untruth apparent to evetyone. But like many of us, when we are bested in a clash of wits, Stanford students became violent. "TIMES HAVE CHANGED" Strong personality and individual responsibility were characteristic of the college students of forty years ago, says University of California graduate who was recently interview ed by a staff member of the student daily. The old grad is slightly criti cal of present-day "co-operation" but he withdraws from that position in the same paragraph with "the times have changed and they (the students) must change to suit the times." The students of forty years ago associated more closely with the pro fessors, talked with them, visited them in their homes; they respected the professors highly and valued their opin lions above all, says the alumnus. Close association with men of such high rank obviously helps to broaden the vision of the student, but it is no longer possible. In this respect, at least, the times have changed. Higher education is made available to many; and it seems to be a natural law that great er good for the many entails in some degree less good for the favored f7r. In this California graduates hint ed criticism that originality is dis appearing because of the co-operation on the college campus of today there lies more than a grain of truth. Original thought is very difficult of accomplishment in the midst of the many organizations of today, all working toward a common good. That common good might be injured somewhat by frankly expressed opin ion, so the opinion is forgotten and tha urge of progress the urge that DUMB-BELL. It is time someone noticed the poor dumb-bell" who comes to col lege for four years and goes out un- weot unhonored and unsung. No one but his family knows he has diploma. Perhaps he hasn't a family, The few persons he meets during college soon forget him. He went to ti:(. movies with them once and proh ebiv let them buy the tickets. One night he helped them in an English seminar, and flunked the examination the next day himself. A professor ta'kfcd to him once when he had not turned in a paper on time and found him so stupid he let him by the course. Perhaps he thought he would like to belong to an organisation of some kind. He joined and always paid his bills a week late and was never heard to say anything in a meeting but "Here." His vote was al ways cast with the mob. He liked rallies and football, of course. If urged he might tell you something about the bonfire or the team. Usual ly he said, "Yeah, it was all right, I guess." In classes he took notes one day a week. Other days he sat and dream ed about how tired he was from studying the night before. He made a passing average in every subject. There were few comments made on his papers. Student activities did not interest him. They took too much work and the completion bored him. When graduation day approaches perhaps he recalls someone he might invite to see him receive his diploma. He remembers the few dates he had and wonders why they were so dull. One thrilled him, but then he had his ideas about the kind of woman he wanted to marry. He has experienced all phases of college. And he is tired worn out trying to keep up the pace. He prob ably knows he's a dumb-bell; some one must have told him. When one considers the number of people who drift with the current of ten-thousand students, one does not wonder why he is unnoticed. Nobody knows he is here or cares if stays but himself and God. And perhaps even God has forgotten him. It is so much easier to be interested in those who at least move to be inter ested in those who at least move their arms and legs while they go with the current. M. H. B. The Daily Cali fornian.

C. will meet Tuesday noon in the mob this way or that by showing how .he intelligentsia believed. The Republican party picked on the college student and organised him in clubs in all the colleges in the country. The Democratic party picked on college presidents, as being slightly better bait than undergrad uates. The result of these publicity campaigns has been that the common people are persuaded that all the un dergraduates, most of whom, by the way, are beneath twenty-one years of age, are going to vote for Coolidge and that all college presidents are for Davis. Now all of this shows half a dozen things. One of them is that the mob likes to be fed stuff about what col lege men believe. Another is that "publicity" has come to play a great part in political campaigns. Another is that the publicity managers of the Republican party are more astute than those of the Democratic faith. For this reason, that the common people are inherently against what ever the intelligentsia are for, and, in common minds, the college presi dents are members of the more intel lectual class. The fact that Eliot of Harvard, for example, or some other president or ex-president has de clared himself for Davis will, instead of bringing the mob into line, alien ate its affections. College students, not being con sidered uncommonly intelligent, but still beine regarded as the future leaders of the land, are more likely to be followed. And college students are thought of as being more liberal, even, than presidents and deans. Ohio State Lantern. Notices Homo Economics' Parlors at 12:20. Dr. Huntington, .

"Give me a log with Mark Hopkins at one end of it and myself at the other," said, in effect. President Garfield, "and I would not want a better college." But if Mark Hopkins was an inspired teacher, it is just as true that James A. Garfield was an inspir ing student. Sometimes Garfield's praise of his professor is quoted in disparagement of present day faculties the assumption being that we as listeners are sympathetic, all that we ought to be and that it is the teacher who has lost his vision. Is this often the case? It is the recollection of one graduate at least . that he did not give his professors a chance. Cold to their enthusiasms, he was prone to regard those men more in the light of animated text-books than as human beings able and eager to expound their art or to go beyond it into the realm of his own personal problems.
