have left over when they have met
the lenient demands of their course.
The only thins the curriculum offers
them as an outlet is more courses,
more examinations, more classes,
more assignments, and more exami
nations. Then turn, therefore, to the
activities which provide them with a
rhannol to which they may divert
their enerjry and time. They find
in college publications, clubs, and
athletics, a chance for the develop
ment of independence and initiative
which is not to be found in the regu
lar courses of study.
Reforms in the curriculum which
would substitute the standards of the
exceptional for the standards of the
mediocre and which would make it
possible for exceptional students to
develop initiative by studyinp sut
jects rather than courses, would leave
the issue clean-cut and make it possi
ble to dotremine the degree to which

vities. The present system does more
than permit the mediocre student to
go in for activities; it almost forces
the exceptional students into them.

CLASS ELECTIONS.
The announcement that the time
of election of members of the stu
dent publication board has been shift
ed to spring forecasts a smaller vote
than usual in the second semester
elections. The vote in these class
elections is usually small. When a
relatively heavy vote is ast the ex
planation is usually to be found in an
extraordinary interest in some one
position or group of positions.
The student publication board
positions have often supplied this in
terest. The board is a body of influ
ence, selecting as it does, students to
fill the major positions on The Cora
huslcer and The Daily Nebrasksn. It
is in a position to determine, to some
degree, the policy of these publica
tions. Students who wish to have
a voice in the determination of these
policies may do so only by participat
ing in the selection f the board
members.
The class presidents, on the con
trary, hold positions so purely hon
orary in character that the honor
which results from the tenure of one
' of them is open to question. The
two underclasses rarely hold meet
ings in the second semester. The
duties of the junior president are re
stricted to assisting the president of
the senior class in planting the ivy
on Ivy Day an interesting and per
haps attractive duty, but one hardly
important enough to justify a poli
tical struggle. The only additional
activities the senior president per
forms is to appoint committees for
the annual senior picnic
When the student council removed
the selection of the publication board
members it removed a possible
source of interest in the election. If
the students refuse to be interested
it is hardly an indication of an indif
ference to the responsibilities of self
government. It is merely a refusal
to be interested in offices to which
no actual importance is attached.

Plans were under way for the fifth
annual high school basketball tour-
nament The contest was to be held
at Lincoln in about a month. Sixty-1
four teams had been entered in the
1914 tourney, a number which was
said to be the largest at any similar ,
tournament ever held in America.;
The teams were classified into three
groups, loving cups being ordered for
the class winners and banners for the
runners-up.
Tryouts were being held for the
annual junior class play, which was
to be held at the Oliver theater. The
play chosen was The Road to Yes
terday." 316 tickets for the event
had been sold although the price had
been raided for the 1915 play from
seventy-five cents to one dollar.
Charter Day was to be observed by
a track meet and a University mixer.
A track meet on Charter Day had be
come a tradition and because of the
number of experienced tracksters in
school, it was expected that many
records would be broken.

ACTIVITIES AND THE COLLEGE
CURRICULUM.
The overshadowing of the college
curriculum by student activities is an
evfl which is of concern to everyone
interested in education. In any dis
cussion of this evil it is customary to
throw the responsibility for its exist
ence on the shoulders of the under
graduates, who, it is pointed out, are
unable to realize that the value and
training they expect to get and do
get from these activities is not the
value and training they can derive
from a college education.
While this is true to a considerable
ertent it does not offer as complete
an explanation as it appears to do.
There are other contributing ele
rnents which complicate the situation
and one of the most important of
them is the curriculum itself.
The turricula of most American
colleges are organized to encourage
mediocre students. They stress the
performance of daily tasks, develop
docility in the performance of as
signments, and set up certain me
chanical standards by resorting to
roll-calls and periodic examinations.
The students are dealt with not as
individuals but as groups and classes.
The courses and departments are suc
cessful not because they educate
those most capable of education but
because they are bo organized that a
large number of students may "pass.
A curriculum which aims to make the
mediocre student attempt to attain
the level of the exceptional student,
instead of one which drags the ex
ceptional student t the level of the
mediocre, is rarely found.
The results of this organization of
the curriculum are two-fold. The
luediocre students find it possible
nt only to meet the mechanical
requirement and standards, but
to do so and still have time
and energy to devote to other thingx.
The other things are, of course, stu
dent activitie The exceptional tn
6es'ji, an the other hand, find no out
let ia academic work for the intel
lectual initiative and energy they

c Flash of 'the Gmpus
The ted corpuscle in college life today is the
flashy red Conklin Pen or pencil. In the
pocket, on the desk, dangling from ribbon or
chain it is the sign and symbol of the sanguine,
active mind.
That Conklin pencil is a real word magazine
too. It shoots a lead 3 X inches long and car
ries over two feet of them. Fill it on your
birthday and forget it for a year. Fitted with
"the clip that can't slip" or the ring for ribbon
only $2.50. For those who don't see red
there is black, mahogany and all metals to
match any pen.

I just read one of Rudpe &
Guentel'a latest Styl-grarns
from New York and it seems
that the Suspender Skirt is
back again. It ia the smarten
thing in apparel you can have.
It comes most often in bright
flannels or twills and is gener
ally worn with a peasant
blouse. It may take a pleated
skirt, a circular front, or only
the inverted kick pleat in the
center, for fulness, but nothing
must mar the straight line,
which is so good this season.'

cided to get
some flannel
this afternoon
on RUDGE'S

and make a

Skirt, like the

they are new.
