BY JOVE!
The editor now Informs ua that we are to run this column twice each
week Tuesday and Friday morniga. A sigh eacapea ua, for we are almost
out who knowa but what we are all out? of wit.
a
Some careful work on the part of our Operator 38 haa convinced us
that there are fourteen persona on the campus, outside of members of the
faculty and administrative forces, who read the column regularly. Since
we have only seven regular contributors, we are at a loss to know who the
other seven are.
Anyone who is intelligent to perceive the high quality of the satire
we put out In the shape of Olympian Stuff is intelligent enough to write
it himself. May we suggest to those whom we often call our dear readers
that they take pen in had, as some chap has said, and dash off a few epi
grams for us?
Contributions should be as short and sparklingly witty as it is possible
to make them.
We recall once or twice in a rather drab-grey past when we actually
chuckled over a contrib. We challenge the whole University to make us
laugh.
"
Members of the faculty and administrative forces are excluded from
the contest, of course. We have had occasion to laugh at them all too often.
SAPPHIC STANZAS.
Poor little freshman, whither are you going?
Late is the hour; your book -report's not finished;
Green is your cap, with scarlet button on it;
Green are you also.
Brain sophomoric, what may you be thinking,
Weighted with questions deeply philosophic,
Earnestly solving universal problems,
' Where sages falter?
Cynical junior, pray where did you get your
Air of insouciance, intellectual prattling?
Cigaret tilted at a jaunty angle,
You roam the campus.
Almighty senior, you are so important;
Yours is the world and everything that's in it.
(Softly I whisper, lest you overhear me
Your head's inflated.)
CELIA.
OUR OWN CLINICAL NOTES.
The development of taste in Middle-Western universities as exemplified
by the aesthetic leanings of the students of our own College of Agriculture
"The room was decorated with milk-cans, dairy equipment, by
two small calves tied in one corner, and by paper streamers. . ."
(From the Nebraska State Journal account of the "Dairy Maid
Ball.")
The progress of instruction in journalism as evidenced by the products
of our secondary schools:
"Harold Groves and Stevens Sterns went hunting during the
week end. Stevens mistook a cat for a rabbit and blew the poor
pussy's head off."
(From the Lincoln high school Advocate.)
OUR HATLESS GENIUSES.
Why do the eminent members of the intellectual nucleus strut around
the campus bare-headed? Is it because the master mind functions more ef
ficiently when unhampered by any machine-made atrocity? Is it to prove
the superiority of mind over howling winds and icy blasts? Or is it to mark
the (rifted ones and set them aside from the common race of men? Is it to
be considered as an evidence of individuality or forgetfulness?
I wonder. . . .
THEODOSIA.
Possibly, Theodosia, they are merely absent-minded.
TODAY'S EPIGRAM:
Absent-mindedness is that rare gift of concentration so closely allied to
insomnia and insanity.
Claire Montesrey,
The Survey, like The Daily Nebraskan, is a serious publica
tion, but that does not, also, prevent it from having a sense of
perspective. Witness the following from a recent number:
"Princeton University has just completed its new psycholog
ical laboratory. On the back of the building is written the an
cient Delphic maxim, 'Know Thyself.' This satisfies the intro
spectionists, but seems to leave the behaviorists out in the cold.
The latter, in no mood to be trifled with, now demand that the
authorities shall inscribe on the front of the building: 'Behave
Thyself.' "

We are inclined to agree with the behaviorists, as far as the uncultured
Eastern universities are concerned, but we should like to make clear that
we do not believe their maxim would have any application to the universi
ties of the untrammeled West, where the behavior of nature's noblemen is
taken care of by high-minded members of the faculty and administrative
forces.

POTSHOTS FROM OLYMPUS.
In time, our University will be run on scientific as well as business
principles.
Future candidates for the Rhodes Scholarship would do well to study
astrology. (Or the law of chance.) '
It is easy enough to caricature your contemporaries; it is, however,
difficult to obliterate them.
Professor Burton of Minnesota says a course in Browning is worth the
present of a Rolls-Royce. His statement opens a great field in comparative
statistics: What does a course in Byron equal? or, what is the equivalent
of a Ford?
Once upon a time there was a campus election in which fraternity pol
itics did not enter; but no one protested it

SONG.
Tonight you come, and there is no tomorrow;
Tonight you lay your head upon my hand;
Tonight you sing a song of splendid sorrow;
Tonight you talk to me, and understand.
What is our life, and wherefore our endeavor?
Oh hush! forget these questions, dear my dear1
Tomorrow night you may have gone forever;
Tonight, be still, and rest your forehead here.

Mastry,
Order your 1940
calendar now.
NOW is the time to plan your work for 1940.
What you are doing then will depend a
good deal on what you do today and after
. graduation and the way you do it.
Obviously, you improve your chances for a big
job if you go where big jobs are and will be.
That means fit yourself to take a place in some
industry with a future.
Planning twenty or more years ahead is all in
the day's work, among the telephone companies
of America. The electrical generating and manufac
turing companies likewise look far into the future.
To put a telephone in every home, to light the
16,000,000 houses that are not yet wired, to devise
and promote many appliances for the comfort of
mnn all this will reauire decades of time and
billions of capital. Chiefly it will need the brains
of men.
It has long been said that electricity is in its
infancy. That is still true. You are fortunate who
can see this industry a little further along on its
way to a glorious maturity.
Electric Company
Wherever people look to electricity for the
comforts and conveniences of life today, the
Western Electric Company offers a service as
broad as the functions of tUctricity itself.
