About this time of year the urpor classmen of tho fraternities aro starting freshmen in activities. To "start" a freshman means this: lie is brought to tho hend of Borne nt-tivity by tho upperclnssmnn with tho request that ho bo "put to work." Thnt sometimes ends tho matter; though occnsionnlly the uppcrclnss men drops around to see how his protcgo is coming on. Usually little thought is used in the starting process. Frehsmen are sometimes started in activities in which they have no interest what ever. Their only guide is the "You do this!" of the upperclassman. Per haps the freshman is well placed; perhaps he likes his activity. On the contrary, he may not, and he gets the ideas that all activities are tire some and of little value. Now, The Nebraskan holds no par ticularly robust brief for activities as such. If the student is interest ed in the activity in which he is en gaged, and if he will profit by it, that is excellent. But if he is en gaged in amassing a list of achieve ments to run after his name in the . Cornhusker, he is really deluded. To be a' Prominent Man on the Campus is not an end in life, as some people think. If one becomes a Big Man incidentally in the pursuit of those things in which he is interest ed, he will profit thereby. Let the upperclassmen whd are "starting" freshmen remember this. The likes and dislikes of the fresh men, and their objects when they leave school, should be consulted. There are men who would do excell ently on the Cornhusker business Btaff who would be sadly misplaced at tl.i Y. M. C. A. And there arc others who might make excellent members of The Nebraskan editorial staff who are succeding only indif ferently in soliciting ads. There are, in addition, some men who should never be in activities. Their interests may bo entirely in their classes, and they may regard with petulance any invasion of their time for study. Also, there are men who have difficulty with their stu dies and who must devote so much timp rn mereW kppp shovn thi pnss- ing mark that they have no time for extra-curricular work. In most activities the non-fraternity man has as good a chance as the member of a Greek letter group. That there are more fraternity men in activities is due to two things: first that fraternity freshmen are Hotel De Hamburger Buy 'em by the sack 1141 Q St. Phone B1512 Dancing School Learn to Dance for $5.00.

Usually tho men who reach the top Ji. any activity are interested in it. To work in an activity for tho glory only is soldom successful and tho men who do so usually drop out after a year or two. Upperclassmen will profit If they remember this. WANTED MORE MANAGERS Tho disappointing turnout of men for athletic managerships this your has been a surprise to those con nected with tho department. Instead of an over-supply of candidates as with other activties, thero is a dis tinct shortage. This condition is probably due to tho fact that tho man who foils t reach the top gets small honor, if any at ull. To be a Junior manager counts for littlo and two yours of genuine work seems to bo uhout wasted unless ono gets tho position of senior manager. A change in thu system, to make the managers servo for ull sport seems to be n failure. Tho system was devised to give a more fuvorulile outlook for the sophomore candi date, but tho candidates seem to have missed that point. Working as a manager is not par ticularly enjoyable. Thero is little thut can be considered interesting. To attract candidates, therefore, somo system must bo devised by which the reward can bo distributed over a larger number, or, in other words, so tho percentage against the candidate is not so great. To be constructive we should sug gest something. But we ore at a losa as to a remedy. .Some one with a greater bump for constructive thinking must do that. The College Press THE EVERLASTING YEA Every man who thinks at all ar rives some time sooner or later at a place where he is assailed by overwhelming spiritual and moral doubts and misgivings, and his con ceptions of right and wrong and his ideas of God are shaken. Ho won ders if there be a God, and if so, what manner of a Being he is. He wonders if after all there is any such thing as right, or wrong. His con ceptions of God he finds inadequate, his standards of values, unsatisfact ory. He founders in a quagmire of uncertainty, his condition the more pitiable because it is incomprehensi ble to him. All he believes has been routed, and all he hoped apparently denied. No longer able to say either "This is wrong,' or "This is right;" or "There is a God," or "There is no God," the man in- despair is ready to cry out, "There is neither right A HOST OF NEW COLLAR ATTACHED SHIRTS ' $2.50 IF THERE'S ANY SORT OF A NEW COLLAR ATTACHED SHIRT THAT YOU CAN'T FIND RIGHT NOW IN OUR STOCKS, WE CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT IS! i BLUES, WHITES, GREYS, TANS, FLAN NELS, OXFORD WEAVES, BROADCLOTHS THE MOST COMPLETE AND SMARTEST COLLECTION OF COLLEGE SHIRTS YOU'VE EVER SEEN.

Mon enter collego with fairly definito ideas of beha viour, and fairly well formed con ceptions of religion, definite and well formed because they have never been questioned. Their stnndards men partake in their homes; MPt their ideas unquestioning, and P"-,, servo them Incurious confident that tho ideas and standards are there, but never pressed to tho point of ex amining them. In collego for tho first time men encounter totally alien ideas, totally foreign standards; they meet other men whose intel- ects and personalities they admire, but whoso ideas and standards they OilVQ lireil lllUKIlt ID ll ji i n i nvnu new friends aro better intellectually equiped to defend their theories and to attack tho vounirer man s, and .L i ...:.i soon vno youiiKcr nmn in idiuuiumuu to concedo strength and plausibility .o beliefs that he is sure are wrong. in eo eiru nir tne met, vuni; i" mnn finds crroot forces and move ments counter to beliefs ho thought universal. He finds thot his stand ards, which ho regarded as indisput able, aro on tho contrary strongly lisputcd, and rejected altogether b rreut numbers of persons his intel lectual superiors. He finds his stand ards condemned by many, and de fended but indifferently by n few. These differences he never imagined existed he is astonished to discover and ill equipped to dispute. The differences lire not of dogma, nor creed nor doctrine, but deep lying, fundamental principles of life; whether there is a ri;ht and wrong in anything, and whether or no thero is a God. Many men, if not most, enter college with inadequate bnses for tho beliefs they hold on these principlcs. If these men are to grow spiritually, they must improve these beliefs, and lay them on a firm foun dations. They enter college, where for tho first time they must choose between sandards, between religious beliefs. These new standards and beliefs are strange and oft times ter rible to them, and likely they will find nothing in college lifo quite like their own private conceptions. Tho conceptions thnt seem to them de sirable in the light of their new learn ing, aro so new that they hesitate ev en to embrace them. The only thing left to them is an instinctive belief ; that they know what is right, and j that there is a God. But to be intel lectually honest they must satisfy themselves that their beliefs are good beliefs. Lacking the intellectual maturity to recognize the' fallacies and so phistries of the irreligious and tho immortal, torn from their old beliefs and neither able nor willing to tie fast to a new, the doubters are swept and buffeted by tempests and storms of indecision, then feet leave the ground, and they feel themselves ov- ercomo by the impossibility of know ledge Where is one of theso to turn for help? Few men understand his pre dicament, and fewer could holp him. Indeed, often he scarce knows him self tho cause of his trouble. There is only ono placo he can turn for help, only ono place where ho can banish his uncertainty, only one pluce whero the confusion of mind .i Vnnrt run he ordered.
