neai. That such an institution should
be oppressive both to the student
and the instructor la a fact which
is given no importance among those
who make the rules.
These Inflexible requirements do
not leave student free to, work out
their own problems, to satisfy their
own needs. It is small wonder that
the output of this machine of rules
should deserve the criticism that it
"has failed to find "true education."

STUDENT INTEREST IN EDUCA
TION A student forum at Kansas Uni
versity was held last week for the
purpose of criticising: the methods
of education there, and a committee
was appointted to present specific
points, to be taken from the speeches
made, to the administration, so that
a decision may be reached. ,
One of the members of the com
mittee, in a speech before the group,
made the following' statement:
"A student can engage in any
activity that interests him with
out being an expert in that sort
of thing. For example, there
will be third and fourth glee
clubs for students like myself
who like to eing but cannot sing
well enough to make the Uni
versity glee club,
i "The first two years of the
regular college course will be
devoted to orientation courses
to familiarize the student with
the civilization that he is living
in. The broad scope of the
work of these years is adopted
in order that the individual may
get a purpose in life by having
a large perspective on life.
"Courses in the two last 1
years will all be elective. The
recent criticisms of the Dart
mouth college students will be
the basis for the reorganization
of teaching methods. The lec
ture method and large classes
will be replaced by the semi
nar method with small groups."
It is a hopeful sign in itself when
students begin to take an interest in
what they are getting out of col
lege, whatever their ideas of reform
may be. Such a forum of opinion
at Nebraska might be out of place.
Doubtless there would be a great
deal of disagreement over many
points 01 discussion. Wot everyone
would be willing to agree with the
ideas of the Kansas students, or of
the Dartmouth report. But what
ever the action taken, there is some
virtue in discussion. Students will
be forced to crystallize their opin
ions; they will be forced to discover
the principles which should guide an
education in the university. There
will hv criticism of whatever decis
ion is reached, but even if no action
is taken by the administration, the
students will at least have had the
benefit of determining for them
selves what it is all about.
RULES
The registrar's office publishes
the announcement that first semes
ter grades for all seniors have been
put into the mails and that all other
students will receive their grades
this month. The announcement is
intended as a balm for the impa
tient who are beginning to cause too
much annoyance in the office by
asking for their grades.
Here we have another indication
of the too-important part which
marks play m our present system of
education. When a course has been
completed, and the student has either
possessed himself of the subject mat
ter or failed to do so, what can be
the significance of so mechanical a
thing as a grade? It is doubtful
whether anyone except the student
himself can measure his progress in
any particular piece of work.
Yet we are bound up not only by
grades but by a maze of rules and
petty requirements which serve only
to hinder and hamper those who
would go about in quest of know
ledge, forgetting such things as
grades. In order to be worthy of be
ing granted a degree we are expect
ed, and as far as possible forced, to
live in accordance with these rules.
They allow no leeway.
It does not matter, for example
how much of a waste of time the
attendance on the lectures of pro
fessors may be, if the officials could
ecure the perfect working of their
system, skipping that class would be
an offence, and an inexcusable one
if it were coBtinued. Roll call with
all that it (ignlfies end entails is
made a matter of tho otinost serious-
ADVERTISING AND ATHLETICS
It is significant that the most ef
fective and the most used means for
advertising the University has been
through athletics. Every year hun
dreds of youngsters throughout the
state get their first glimpse of the
workings of the University through
the high school basketball tourna
ment and the high school track meet.
Add to this, the fact that it is the
fortunes of the football team which
receives more newspaper space than
any other two or three University
activities, and it Is easy to under
stand why there is such an over
whelming interest in Intercollegiate
athletics.
The high school student receives
preparatory course in enthusiasm
for athletics before he ever discovers
that there is also a curriculum and
professors at the University. When
he comes to Lincoln his interest in
athletics has already been created
and it is an interest which is often
not replaced by another in his four
years in college. When this is taken
into account it is easy to understand
why not only the undergraduates but
the alumni as well are more interest
ed in athletics than in any other as
pect of University life.
Student Opinion
The Daily Nebraskan tiiumet no
responsibility for the sentiments ex
pressed by correspondents, and re
serves the right to exclude any com
munication whoso publication may
for any reason seem undesirable.
Except by special arrangements,
communications cannot be published
anonymously.
Since the publication of Veritas'
opinion some time ago, we have been
doing a little research work. After
deep thinking we have come to the
conclusion that Veritas, amiable as
his intent, is not very well acquaint
ed with the aims of the University.
We are doubtful if he is a good citi
zen to have in our midst He would
like, , we feel, to upset University
customs- the- very ones that we
have struggled for so many years
to establish. Surely we can not al
low auch socialistic doctrines to un
dermine our noble institutions. .
"if he were determined to criticise
a University organization why did
he not, aim his scathing remark at
some organization less representa
tive of the student body, for exam
ple that mysterious organization
which might be called the Harold
Lloyd Club. (Incidentally it occurs
to us that they get along very nicely
with just half the equipment Harold
Lloyd needs to make himself ridicu
lous, because they are so outrage
ously funny in themselves.)
As there are no women in this or
ganization' we found it difficult to
learn anything about it. But it is
very likely that there is nothing to
learn. The name, however, in it
self, denotes dignity just, as the
term literary promises literature.
And as we had a number of capa
ble assistants we did find out a few
things about them. One reporter
told us that having heard that at
least one of the members was a radi
cal she thought that she would like
to interview him. Before entering
his office she thought it wise to be
sure Just what the wora "radical
meant. She was astonished to find
that one of the first definitions giv
en In the dictionary was: "original."
She was prepared to forgive the Har
old Lloyd Club for almost anything
if this member could only prove that
he was original. For she felt that
that was the aim of everyone. After
a dull hour she came away disgust
ed. He had not said one thing that
could be considered radical. He had
admitted that he could not prove td
her that he was radical. If the club
stands for originality should he be
tolerated as a member? If there is
no originality should the club be
allowed to exist?
Recently another member of this
club substituted, in a way, for an
esteemed professor. (He gave a test
for .which no one was prepared.) Dur
ing the whole hour he smiled most
amiably. It is not necessary to aay
that the fairer students in the class
agreed he was most charming. But
the fact remains that we hesitate to
associate him with the dignity of the
aforementioned club if he can find
anything in this world to enjoy. He
should not have changed his facial
expression - when business-like
young woman asked him whether or
not he "just wanted us to tell about
the early lives of Romulus and Re
mus." But he did smile; he even
laughed. And if he were in the full
dress of his club its dignity would
have been shattered. Are the ideals
of this club, like so many people's
religion, to be worn only on Sun
day? '
Another assistant reported that a
member of the same club had pro
claimed himself a socialist; yes he
had the courage to say it bluntly.
She asked him to prove it. In five
minutes he was hopelessly tangled
up and admitted that if he hid
$50,000 he would be a repvK -.
Another thing that Veritas Jt.
have remembered was the teaching
our mothers dinned into our ears
when we were little chaps. A big
boy must not fight a little one. That
is not in accordance with true Amer
ican sportsmanship. And I am sure
that the aim of every student In this
great University is to be, above all
things, a loyal citizen and a true
American.

oA word about
the Clarion !
Here's a model thatcaterj
particularly to young
men's tastes, but men of
"all ages are wearing it.
Why? Because the Clarion possesses
real sfyle. Not a stunt creation ,or a
freak, but the genuine thing. It has
the sensible, refined lines that can not
be described any other way, but just by
the words good style.
It's one of the decided favorites in the
V 1
new spring" exhibit of Kirschbaum
Clothes. And like all Krschbaum
spring productions it is tailored of pure
virgin 'wool fabrics (not merely all
wool). That's something difficult to
get even in clothes that sell for io to
15 more.
