"We report with great pleasure that
traffic signals have been installed and
are now working at the intersections
of Twelfth and R streets and Twelfth
and Q streets. It would be-supposed
that everyone would have noticed
them, but evidently some of the stu
dents and the traditionally absent
minded professors failed to do so
yesterday.
However, considering that Wednes
day was the first day of the new
lights, there was very little confusion
and the signals are, in our opinion,
a decided success. Naturally some
students will complain that they slow
up the traffic but to those students
wc reply that speed is not everything;
it is better to get home safely just
in time for lunch than to get there
a few minutes early after running
the risks of the former noon-hour
rush.
There really were very few per
sons who "jumped" the signals Wed
nesday noon. Most of those who did
were not students but townspeople.
In a few days there should be no
more difficulty of this sort and the
traffic should move much more
swiftly.
Some time ago we mentioned the
fact that the students at Indiana Uni
versity are asking for a longer
Thanksgiving vacation as we were at
Nebraska. The following paragraph
which appeared in the editorial col
umns of the Indiana Daily Student
on Saturday, October 23, will no
doubt be of interest to Nebraska
students.
"The administration officials
of the University of Nebraska
have granted the request of the
student council that there be a
two-day, instead of a one-day
Thanksgiving vacation. The Uni
versity of Nebraska is to be con
gratulated on having a student
council which is heeded by the
authorities."
We accept the congratulations,
although we feel that they should be
for we have an administration which
listens to the appeals of the students.
Nevertheless, the spirit is there and
we hope that the Student and those
students who are pushing the propo
sition at Bloomington are successful.
The Student watched our campaign
for the vacation very carefully, re
printing three editorials from The
Daily Nebraskan on the subject. So
far, no action has been taken, but it
is reported that the faculty will de
cide on the matter at the next meet
ing. The time has come to congratulate
the new members of Mystic Fish,
freshman women's "honorary" so
ciety. We congratulated the Green
Coblins and far be it from us to show
any partiality in a matter like this.
In the case of the Green Goblins,
we were able to set forth to the new
members the advantages of member
ship, having once been a member of
the organization and thus having
first hand knowledge. Now, in the
case of the Mystic Fish, we must, nat
urally, rely on second hand informa
tion and thus we hesitate to give the
advantages of that organization.
We have heard from several stu
dents who have been members that
"women's honorsries amount to less
than men's." We can immediately,
however, brand that statement as
false for it is impossible.
Both the T. M. C A. and the Y.
W. C A. hare accepted our invita
tion to tell the students what they
accomplish and where the money goes
and letters from the presidents of
those organizations appear elsewhere
in today's paper. We wish to call the
readers' attention to these letters.
Within a few days all of the students
wi3 be asked to contribute to these
organizations and now is the time
to decide whether or not they deserve
the snpport they ask.
It is again necessary to remind the
students and other readers that it is
imperative that the editor know the
identity of all contributors to the
"Other Opinions" column. We have
!;;; received letters which we
wo aid like to print but cannot until
va know who wrote them. It will net
1 tii-.-e.aM.ry to print the person's
ranse, but it will be necessary for the
..-i-U-r to know who is the author.
Y. W. C A.
The detailed budget of the ex
penses of the student Y. W. C. A.
will be published in a day or two, so
it is not the purpose of this state
ment to include that However, as a
general statement of our expendi
tures, the budget amounts to approx
imately $3600,. about half of which
goes to cover administrative expen
ses. This year we will receive $1200
of that amount from the community
chest.
We attempt to build our program
around the religious needs of stu
dents and in so doing to deepen the
spiritual life on our campus.
The weekly Vesper service at
tempts to meet our need for corpor
ate worship. It is planned to be a
truly lovely, worshipful service, with
a vested choir composed of members
of the Association, special music, si
lent prayer and talks on topics of in
terest and concern.
A large number are enrolled in the
Bible Study and discussion groups,
including the Freshmen Commission,
which is a study group.
The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W.
C. A. have charge of the weekly
World Forum luncheons at which
able speakers are asked to talk on
topics of interest to students. The
social program includes parties given
jointly by the associations.
Last year an interracial commis
sion of colored and white girls was
started for the purpose of furthering ,
understanding between these two
groups. This commission meets once
a week for luncheon and discussion
together.
Ones discussion group is composed
of members from each of the denom
inations represented on the campus.
This group leads to better under
standing of their respective creeds.
Members of the association have
charge of the Americanization classes
and the Girl Reserve clubs in the
community. The choir gives several
programs during the year at different
charitable institutions in the city.
Several speakers of national and
international reputation have been
brought to the campus for series of
meetings.
These are some of the activities
and of course on merely hearing
them enumerated, it requires one's
imagination to fill in the picture and
realize the spiritual growth that
comes about in the lives of girls on
our campus as a result of them. As
a group, we are searching to cone
to a better understanding of Jesus'
way of life, and see what its impli
cations are for our lives. Through our
working together in a Christian fel
lowship we are helped to be our best
selves.

A student infirmary report at Syra

aiore medical attention than women
Y. M. C. A.
The editor has asked for a state
ment from the University Y. M. C. A.
in regard to its work on the campus
and its place among the many organi
sations which infest our school. Such
a request is entirely proper and we
welcome the opportunity to acquaint
the student body with the real work
of the "Y". Within the next few days
there will appear several stories in
the Nebraskan telling of some of our
activities such as the World Forum,
which is managed jointly with the Y.
W. C. A., our work for new students
in finding them rooms and giving
them help in the first hectic weeks of
school, the "N" Book and similar en
terprises. At present though, I wish to call
the attention of the editor to a phase
of the work which is often overlooked
but which is perhaps the most impor
tant. The real work of the "Y" is
something which cannot be listed on
a sheet of paper for it deals with that
intangible something which we may
call spiritual, intellectual, or moral
values. In listing the activities of the
"Y" we cannot list the story of the
student who came in at the first of
the year and said that the Freshman
Council last year, conducted by the
"Y", had been the only thing which
had kept him up to the high standard
of morality with which he had come-
to college. There are numerous sim
ilar cases and others which are no
where recorded.
The University Y. M. C. A. is the
only student organization on the
campus, to my knowledge, which fos
ters these moral values and tries to
stimulate thought among those who
are too often prone to accept things
as they are without an adequate
knowledge of why they do so. It is
the University Christian organiza
tions which keep the student body in
formed as to student thought and
action throughout the country. As I
have said these things are intangible
and difficult to explain to those who
have not experienced them but they
must be reckoned with when an at
tempt is made to evaluate the Y. M.
C. A. The opportunity to receive this
personal aid is open to all who seek
it whether or not they are members
of the organization and the officers
of the University Y. M. C. A. hope
that they are living up to their obli
gation to serve the students of Ne
braska in every possible manner.
