The Cornhusker basketball team
won the first game of Ita eastern
trip from Drake University at Des
Moines by the score of 14 to 15.
Dick Rutherford played a stellar
game and was largely responsible for
the tide in the last half,
Ames stopped the victorious Hus-
kers in the last game of the trip byj
administering a 25 to 1 1 defeat. The
secret of the Cyclones' victory lay in
Cornhusker quintet and the fierce,
irresistible team work of the Aggies.
Rutherford and Campbell played the
most consistent game for Nebraska,
although the Cyclone defense held
them down to fewer goals than they
registered in any previous game of
the trip.

The common sentiment of the
whole body of law students was voic

presented to the Board of Regent.
These resolutions were couched in no
doubtful terms. They made it very

students, and made it equally plain
that to fill the Dean's place would
be an exceedingly difficult, if not im
possible matter.

CLASS ELECTIONS.
Less than five hundred votes were
cast in the class elections held Tues
day on the campus an indication
that the greater part of the students
are not keenly interested in the intri
cacies of student politics.
There has been evident at times a
tendency to regard this indifference
as unfortunate and to feel that to
cultivate this feeling in a university
is to ultimately encourage indiffer
ence toward national and local poli
tics. The assupmtion that because stu
dents are indifferent to these class
elections they will be indifferent to
their obligations as citizens of the
state and nation is open to question.
As a matter of fact the reason that
most students refuse to vote at the
class elections is that the positions
to be filled have no importance. The
emptiness of a class presidency is no
torious. The Ivy Day oration is a
moribund institution, the final evi
dence of its ebbing vitality being the
fact that only one candidate filed
for the position. The student coun
cil is a body so impotent, for reasons
too lengthy to be considered here,
,that membership in ft is a rather du
bious honor.
A refusal to be interested in these
positions might be construed as an
indication of intelligence. It is evi
dent that the students have a sense
of discrimination keen enough to en
able them to refuse to become inter
ested in politics which have no signi
ficance and in positions which have
no prestige. Student political bat
tles are so frequently characterized
by pettiness and triviality that they
often become semi-comic. It is per
haps fortunate that students refuse
to be captured by the pseudo import
ance of such conflicts.

SPEAKS TO STUDENTS
(Continued from Page One.)
THE RADIO AND THE ALUMNI.
A Charter Day program was broad
cast to thirty-seven alumni clubs
Monday evening.
This use of the radio as a medium
of contact between a university and
its alumni is new enough to present
some interesting possibilities. Hith
erto the athletic teams of the uni
versities have been the one effective
bond between the alumni and the
schools. Irrespective of whether this
is an indication ci a lack; ct otner
bonds, or evidence of an abnormal
interest on the part of the alumni in
athletics, is it true, and because it
has been true it has complicated the
work of the administrative officials,
Periodical now published by most
alumni organizations have done much
to remedy this situation, but even
they have been only partially success
ful.
The -we of the radio to broadcast
such programs as the one Monday
makes it possible for the alumni to
feel a relationship with the institu
tion which is more personal than that
created by the athletic teams and the
alumni publications. Music by uni
ersity students, speeches by faculty
members, these are features of the
radio program which cannot be dup
licated. The spoken word has an ef
fectiveness which the printed page
cannot equal. With careful super
vision the radio may prove the means
of building up an alumni interest
which will prove of genuine assist
ance to the University.
sheets. What a dream. Who were
they who played the curtain-raiser
to this fascinating drama?
"It is not a small task to properly
appraise the valor and the virtues of
the pioneers of the Nebraska press. It
can be truly said that 'there were
giants in those days.' Mostly they
may have lacked the versatility of the
newspaper makers of today, but they
were men of forceiulness and re
sourcefulness, men of rare genius
and high courage, men of imagina
tion and of performance, blazing a
trail in a wilderness destined to be
come a paradise. I hose were the
days of common things, but- their
lives were not commonplace. Those
forerunners of Journalism made ro
mance and they lived it.
Observes No Chronology.
"In referring to early Nebraska
newspapers and newspapermen there
is no effort here to observe a chron
ological sequence. There will not be
any attempt to dispute the claim of
the Nebraska City News to the long
est span of life, 1854 to 1925, three
score and ten, plus, and happily today
published by one of the pionaers of
the craft, Charles Hubner. It is not
necessary to give a record of its vari
ous ownerships. The Nebraska City
Press was born four years later, had
a more or less sensational career,
and is today a good example of com
petent conservatism under the guid
ance of J. H. Sweet.
"Nebraska City's most distinguish
ed citizen and journalist was J. Ster
ling Morton, who viewed journalism
in its larger aspects, dallied with it
casually, and did not fraternize vith
the hurly-burly boys. He honored
this state, as a citizen, as the origina
tor of Arbor Day, and as secretary of
agriculture. His greatness can not be
Independent, in 1869, evolved from
the movement westward following
the building of the Union Pacific
railway, and published for many
years by Fred Hedde, of the German
colony which settled in Hall county.
The present editor of the Indepen

of the eccentric and hard-headed
Hedde, and is the chief inspiration of
one of the finest inland dailies in the
west. It would not be por sible how- Smith Hail-

THE DANGER LINE
DO YOU realize what may happen at The
Danger Line, where gums meet teeth?
The Danger Line extends around each
tooth at the gum margin. It is just a little
V-shapet1 crevice, but it is vastly important.
For in these tiny crevices, food gathers and
ferments, forming the acids which cause
painful, unsightly Acid Decay.
You can safeguard against Acid Decay
and relieve conditions, favorable to Pyor
rhea, if you will use Squibb's Dental
Cream, made with Squibb's Milk of Mag
nesia. Ask your 'dentist, and he will tell
you that Milk of Magnesia has been used
for years as a safe, scientific means of
counteracting the acids which attack the
teeth and gums. Hence the great value of
Squibb's Dental Cream. '
Squibb's Dental Cream is pleasant to use.
It is safe. It is free from harsh, injurious
abrasives. It cleans thoroughly and pol
ishes beautifully. It removes the danger
at The Danger Line. At reliable drug stores.

The Innocents discussed plans
whereby more students could take
part in University activities. Only
about twenty students had charge of
the different University activities.
The University of Minnesota has a
plan which would limit student acti
vity and thereby permit others to
take part. A system of grading was
used there by which every activity
was graded as being equivalent to so
many points. Whenever a student
had a certain number of points
against him for any particular sem
ester, the authorities forced him to

Advertiser Is Notable.
"One of the most notable of the
early weekly newspapers of tho state
was the Brownville Advertiser, with
which was associated the name of
Robert W. Furnas, later governor,
many years influential in the state
agricultural society, farmer, tree
planter, and nurseryman. His per
manent impress has been left upon
the state. His name is written indeli
bly on the early pages of ita history.
Journalism, and all posterity, may
proudly honor him. In later years
the Advertiser was maintained as a
weekly of high rank by Fairbrother
A Haecker.
"Early newspapers came and went.
