THE OLD BELL
The announcement during the
Charter day radio program that the
old University Hall bell is to be
come the "Voice of the Cornhus
kers" will be welcomed by all stu
dents and alumni who regard the
campus as something more than so
many acres of ground dotted by
pretty piles of brick. It is appro
priate that University of Nebraska
radio programs be opened with the
tolls of the same bell which once
opened the old-fashioned chapel and
convocation exercises.
The voice of the old bell is inter
woven throughout the entire story of
the University's pioneer days. It is
a stern voice, and it has called many
sturdy students to stern tasks. It
has rung out important tidings, both
good and bad, and has spoken on
many solemn occasions.
Perhaps it is this very solemnity
in its peal that accounts for the de
light! of the more mischievous young
men of former days in making it
the center of pranks. An alumnus
wired Monday night to inquire about
the cow which once shared the bel
fry with it. The cow, according to
the announcer, is dead; but, like
many other good sports, it will be
long remembered. .
If Nebraska had an Edgar Allen
Toe, he might write a poem about
the old bell, but the fact that the
memories must go unsung detracts
from their sweetness.
IT'S EVE'S FAULT
"Must we teach them evil on the
chance that they may prefer the
good?" The State Journal asks.
This newspaper has occasionally
wished that the answer were "no"
but believes that it is "yes." If stu
dents did not ask questions, or have
doubts, or think for themselves, or
wonder why, it would only be necess
ary to teach them the good. A few
students are that way, but not very
many. Most young people want to
know "Why?" And the only way in
which the good can be satisfactorily
explained and accounted for is by
designate n of that which is bad. If
one hasn't been taught anything
about evil, how is he going to know
that the good is preferable?
Of course, someone might tell him.
If college students were gullible, or
if Eve had yielded to the serpent,
that might work. The method is
said to have proven successful in the
fairyland. The story is told, you
know, that when Alice exclaimed "I
can't believe it," after the Queen
had given her age as 105 years, the
Queen simply said, "Can't you? Try
again, draw a long breath and shut
your eyes."
The Nebraskan does feel, however,
that in view of The Journal's cour
teour recognition an apology is due.
The Journal's remarks concerning Dr.
Meiklejohn do not approach insanity.
That was a printer's mistake. The
word should have been "inanity", not
"insanity."
THE PERSONAL TOUCH
When a University of Nebraska
professor complained recently that
"there is a lack of the personal touch
between students and faculty," he
brought up a problem that is facing)
all of the larger universities. A few
attempts have been made to solve it,
but no lasting satisfactory settle
ment has yet been hit upon.
At the University of Minnesota an
enlarged committee of faculty ad
visers has been created nnder the di
rection of a professor of psychology.
The function of these advisers is
primarily to help the student but also
to collect and report information
which may be used to improve the
University administration. Manuals
are now being prepared for the use of
these advisers in interviewing the
students, and the plan is being thor
oughly systematized.
It will be interesting to watch the
outcome of this Minnesota erperi-r.-
i;t after it has had few year'r
i'-'.zl. but The Pally Nebraskan doe
t V . "iive any such formal method
' ; .Ted a genuine retUernent. Fa-

';H"7 up according to
ALL CREEDS
An Interesting contribution to dis
cussion of the ever-present problem
of whether or not religious creeds
should be taught in public schools
has been made by Dr. M. II. Harris
of the New York Temple Israel. 'In
an interview granted the New York
World, Doctor Harris urges that the
ethical precepts of all creeds, even of
Pagan philosophy, be compiled in a
manual to be added to the school
curriculum to "stir the generous ar
dor of youth and inspire it to deeds
of sacrifice for its fellow men."
To be complete, an education
would have to embrace all history
and all thought.' Since only a few
continue to higher institutions of
learning, the most important religi-
our creeds, moral precepts and politi
cal theories should be presented at a
reasonably early period in a child's
education. If leaders of all religi
ous faiths had confidence and toler
ation such as that of Doctor Harris)
which would permit them to encour
age study "even of philosophy" the
problem would be eliminated and the
cause of education benefited.

ANTI-RENT-A-FORD MURMUR
The whispering of sentiment
against the renting of Fords under
the new rates, which stirred softly
about the campus for a few days, has
broken into a deep-throated murmur.
The towering shadow of ten Rent-a-Ford
Companies, combined in one
common purpose has failed to throw
the male student body into an hum
hie mood of acquipsencp. The cus
tom of renting Fords, just four years
old, is no longer a giant of the social
system but threatens to become a
tottering old man. It is sad, is it
not, that the life of that recent cus
tom should become endangered? but
any good custom may be made into
an unwise institution if not properly
guided.
The student body of the university
are not unreasonable in their de
mands upon the business of our social
world. We live in our sphere, re
cognizing that it is entirely differ
ent from the practical, industrial and
economic worlds. But when a cer
tain type of business finds a profit
able investment in a field of our
sphere, and seeks to reap too much
gain by imposing a greater burden
upon us we ought to object. In this
case the burden is financial in a so
cial field what could be more sig
nificant to the average student?
Let the Rcnt-a-Ford companies
start their hour charge on reserve
cars at 6 o'clock p. m. instead of at
8:30 and make it operate every night
in the week; let them charge us for
gas and oil, and let them combine in
one concerted action. We do not
fear, we control the greater share of
the demand. If we exercise our con
trol in view of the injustice they, the
Rent-a-Ford companies impose upo'
us, we can make them realize that the

studtnts of the U. of N. are not an
humble part of their newly promul
gated plan.
The sentiment in this article Is not
the product of an ignorant under
standing of the problem; it is the ex
pression of no one, but many minds.
Renting Fords is not a necessity but
merely a recent practice and when
it becomes a luxurious practice we
have the privilege of drawing away
from it.
The murmur may break into a
cheer a cheer for the good old
times. We are athletic; we Ameri
cans; WE CAN WALK. And if we
are all dressed up for some big func
tion there are other means of trans
portation. So lets turn our faces to
the old customs that have grown ob

They will arrive all dressed up in the
atmosphere of this newer period,
but we will welcome them, finding
them less extravagant and much
wiser. E. F. D.
Ten Years Ago
University Night was an event an
ticipated by a number of organiza
tions on the campus. A committee
was appointed to draw up a stunt to
be offered to the board of censors
for approval.
Nebraska took another step toward
annexing the Missouri Valley cham
pionship by decisively defeating the
Ames team 35 to 21, and also 31 to
13. The first game showed Ames a
much better team than Nebraska ex
pected, but the second game showed
the superiority of Nebraska from the
start.
The Senior prom at the Lincoln ho
tel, was perhaps the most elaborate
and largest party of the year. A
four-course dinner was served and
there was a grand march.
The museum received a splendid
speciment of a goshawk from W H.
Crane, an old pioneer of Steele City.
The bird was to be mounted and
placed in a case with Mr. Crane's oth
er specimens.
Twenty Years Ago
Arrangements were made for the
University to play Baker University.
Mr. T. H. Tibbies gave an address
in convocation on the "Insurance
Investigation," which was being car
ried on in New York. He described
the personality of Prosecuting-At-torney
Hughes and his method of
"driving" information out of the hos
tile and unwilling witness he exam
ined. The Juniors took hold of the pro
posed country party in great style
and it was promised to be a success.
In the canvassing for the sale of
tickets, it was reported that no Jun
ior had refused to buy one. There)

Dr. C. S. Boggs, '84, who was

almost every city In Nebraska and

At the Ohio Alumni Club meeting
held at Cleveland, Ohio, Bertha Luc-

Great school loyalty was shown
