Taken as a whole, to a sleight of hand performance. they are easier to get along with than Here are the comparisons Mr. . the lenders of religious organizations, Turner makes between students en-'scholastic societies, etc. Those whom paged in various undergraduate act-j we have known most intimately, are ivities: j really more intelligent than their "In tho five year period, the av- grades indicate. But they receive erages of the men taking part in the more cheers than any other group on eight branches of extra-curricular the campus, so why should they at activities ranked as follows: The members of the Y. M. C. A. cabinets were first, and the managers of the athletic teams were a close second. Then came the cinder path artists, the members of the track team. The Student Union officers were just be low the trackmen, and a fraction of a point under the Union officers were the basketball tossers. And in the sixth place, the literary geniuses of the Student Daily barely topped the men who played baseball and foot ball. Not such a bad showing, when you stop to consider again that in one case, high scholarship is required in the election of participants, while in the other a reasonable and average grade combined with ability in the sports are the basis for the selection. "In three out of the five years the track men beat the editors and the Union officers. The baseball team topped the Union officers one year, and the following year sur passed the editors. Even the football team managed to top the editors in two out of the five years. The bas ketball men beat the Union officers for three years, and the editors for two more. And in the five years, there was some spectacular semester averages made by track and basket ball teams. On two different oc- tempt to rob the scholar of the small honors which fall to his lot? If a halfback makes a touchdown at the' crucial moment, thirty thous and people rise to their feet and nearly cause a six-story concrete structure to rock with their applause. But when a Xebraskan news editor works until 1 o'clock to get the pa per out, and then stays up the re mainder of the night to write a phil osophy paper, he doesn't hear a single word of praise. And when a young man hangs up a scholastic average of 94.5 for four years of college work, a few students shake hands with him when they see a little key on his watch chain, but the majority com pletely ignore him. The athletes are down-right stingy, when they attempt to rob their humble classmates of these meager honors. And while on the subject of grades it might be well to add that the aver age, well-painted, short-skirted, fri volous-minded, bob-haired, silly coed usually- has a far better record for scholarship than the average athlete, or the average Y. M. C. A. leader, or the average business manager, or the average editor.

Mr. Turner's conclusion that the "athletes lead in brains" may be true so far as the University of Illi nois is concerned, but no statistics are reeded to convince the average Nebraska student that such as not Local Item Clark Smaha, newly elected bas ketball captain of the University of Nebraska, holds fifth place this year in the valley scoring record with 115 points.

"No, answered tho other, "I didn't crack n book all term." Tho first reaction to an incident such as this is one of sovero condem nation of the student that has achieved these poor grades.
