Saturday night the United States
Navy Band, under the direction of
Lieutenant Charles G. Benter, will
give a concert in the University Col
iseum, planned expressly to Interest
students and residents of Lincoln
alike.
All of Lincoln and especially the
students of the University should wel
come the appearance of the Presi
dent's own musical organization In
Lincoln this week-end. The band will
visit only a limited number of cities
in the country on the second tour that
it has ever made, and the University
should be highly complimented that
it chooses Lincoln as one of its stop
ping1 places.
That the University is pleased with
the coming- appearance of the organ
ization is shown by the fact that a
monster reception has been planned
for the time when the band arrives.
The R. 0. T. C. band, the Corncobs,
the Tassels and a company from the
regiment has been selected to meet
the musicians when they arrive Sat
urday morning.
The very low price of one dollar

that is indeed low so as not to bo
prohibitive to students. On the night
of the concert, balcony tickets will go

Registrar. The said Saturday is also,
in regard to date, the unlucky day;
the thirteenth of the month. All upper-classmen
and former students
know what the coming of that week
means in the life of the undergrad
uate. To the old student it is a warn
ing to brace up and put in some good
preparation for the tests. To the new
student it is something of a mystery;
a new experience.
By that Saturday the fate of the
new student will be in the balance.
Saturday the thirteenth of November
is home-coming day for all old grads
of the University of Nebraska. Ob
viously the day has a significance to
past and present Nebraskans. It will

8 to 13, is mid-semester examination !t fi- -f v
week. By Saturday noon of that week That thfi band b one of the
the scholastic standing of every stu- . t th 0UD of mu.

It is composed of the foremost band
talent in the country, and has been
given the status of official Navy Band
by President Coolidge, who super
vises every move the band makes
from Washington.
A demonstration of the great value
of the Coliseum will be seen Saturday
night when the band plays from the
giant stage. This is the second time
the building has been used for other
than an academic function since its
completion.
Preparation is being made to seat
well over five thousand for the pro

that three thousand University stu

determine whether the day shall rep- j js to the benefit of students that they
resent one of home-going to the pre'
sent student. It is in the interest of
the new student that this comment
has been written. Freshmen should
not become over-confident and they
cannot over-estimate the importance
of diligent study at this time.
As usual some will be dismissed,
but it is hoped that the number may
be smaller this year. Those who re
ceived delinquent slips at the quar
terly examination time need to be
most concerned with making a good
grade in the coming tests. The de
linquent slips are merely a warning
at quarterly time but if at mid-semester
time a student i3 down in two
fifths of his work he is automatically
dropped from the University.
Many parents are sacrificing much
to keep their sons and daughters in
school. It is the duty of these sons
and daughters to at least keep up in
their work. Disgrace will be brought
to many of the parents of students
who will be dropped from college by
means of scholastic requirements.
The dropping of a student may
change the whole life and accomplish
ment of that student from a success
to a failure.
Therefore students, and especially
freshmen, must make the grade. It is
for their own good, the debt they owe
their parents, and the debt they owe
their school, that they should rise
above this obstacle. This is the first
of a series of scholastic hurdles that
the successful student must make.
Make this hurdle and he gets his
stride for the next and harder ones
as they come.

WILLIAM COLD KEYS
Yesterday the ten leading students
of the freshman class of last year in
the College of Business Administra
tion were presented with gold keys
by William Gold, Lincoln business
man, in recognition of their achieve
ment. The William Gold Key, the
awarding of which was started last
year, marks another step in the pro
gram of prizegiving in the Business
Administration College. This col
lege has more prizes for good stu
dents than any of the other colleges
on the campus and it is interesting to
not the effect of the more attain
able rewards.
While it is not our belief that
scholarship rewards should be be
stowed too lavishly, it seems that the
Business Administration college is
creating interest and promoting bet
ter scholarship by their stand on the
subject Bside the prizes offered
by Mr. Gold, there is Phi Beta Kappa
which is for all students, and prizes
offered by Delta Sigma Pi, interna
tional business administration frater
nity. Alpha Kappa I'.'i, professional
fraternity, is also contemplating of
fering a prize to stuuents. A num-
' ber of scholarships of a value of five
hundred dollars each, are offered as
a reward for business research. The
giving of degrees of distinction was
approved by the board of the college
but it has not been put into effect as
yet.
Thus the student in the college of
Business Administration has excel
lent opportunity to win some of the
rewards offered for scholarship.
Their qualifications are not so high
as to be unattainable by the average
tood student. The awarding of them
by the business men of the country
show a spirit of interest and help
that is to be commended. It a'ght
be an aid to the scholarship and in
terest in ether colleges if more re-

A PROM THIS YEAR
To the editor: What may be a
myth on this campus at present will
soon become a reality. What is a
tradition in other colleges will be a
tradition here as well. The Junion
Senior Prom of 1926 will take place!
Accomplishment comes only through
concentrated effort. This effort will
be exerted because immediately after
mid-semseter exams the committee
will meet and will work, and the
Junior-Senior Prom will be an actual
happening at Nebraska 'as it is at
Princeton and other large universi
ties. The future need not be measured
by the past. An3 this committee will
do its best toward success. It is
gratifying to know that many of the
juniors and seniors have already ex
pressed a desire to help.. There need
be no more dubious smiling, for the
Junior-Senior Prom will take place!
KATE GOLDSTEIN
BARTER OF YOUTH
(Ohio State Lantern.)
Somehow or other this whole edu
cation system of ours seems to bq
woefully inefficient.
For instance, consider the element
of time. The child starts to school at
the age of five or six, depending on
whether or not his community has a
kindergarten. If he goes to college,
and practically everyone goes to col
lege these days, he completes his edu
cation sixteen years later and yet he
has only an ordinary education. The
sixteen years practically is a mini
mum of time and it makes no allow
ance for sickness or failure.
If the student is ambitious and
wishes a master's or a doctor's de
gree, anywhere from two to six
years must be added to the sixteen.
When he has completed his education
the student is between 22 and 28
years old.
Thus when he is at last ready to
tackle the world he no longer has the
advantage of youth. He has bartered
his youth for education.
Why is this barter necessary? In
grade school, junior high, senior high,
and college the student has his sum
mers free. He has a vacation of from
three to four months unless he works
or goes to summer school. If he does
neither of these he becomes infinitely
bored, for the vacation is entirely too
long. The long vacation is a hangover i
from the old days when everyone
lived on a farm, machinery was crude
and scarce, and the children were
needed to work the soil during the
summer months. Those days have
long since passed out of the picture,
but the summer-long vacation con
tinues.
If' the student needs to work in
order to earn money to pay all or
part of his educational expenses, all
well and good. But if he does not, one
month's vacation would be far better
for him and everyone else. The larger
cities now have summer schools, but
like the summer quarters in colleges
and universities, the courses are not
many and it takes an infinite amount
of planning to derive much good from
them as far as advancement is con
cerned. Then, too, summer school is
looked upon as a convenience for
habitual flunkers and a stigma, how
ever mild it may be, attaches to him
who registers for the summer courses.
If the grade and high schools were
put on an eleven-months' basis, in
stead of eight and a half or nine, the
ordinary high school diploma could
be obtained in about three-quarters
of the time or at the average of fif
teen instead of eighteen. There is lit
tle doubt but what that is too early
an age for college entrance.
The high school course could be
lenethened, then, taking over some
of the college subjects. Foreign Inn-
truaeres. for instance, should d
taught in high school instead of col
lege because they are learned much
more easily there. Colleges, too,
should not be forced to teach elemen
tary English such as is given in the
401 and 000 courses. All this should
be handled by the high schools and
could be if they were given sufficient
time to do it.
Thus if the grade and high schools
were put on an eleven-months' basis
and the curriculum enlarged, the stu
dent could be ready for college at the
ace of sixteen or seventeen and
would be far more ready for it than
he is now.
Likewise he would be out of col
lege by the time he had reached 20
or 21. Then if he wished to top off
his education with travel, which is
tM ideal thing, he could do it with
far less trouble than under the exist
ing system.
The critics of such a system will
say that the students would oppose
it. They get that idea from the stu
dent portrayed in comic cartoons, not
from the actual student of today.
The opposition to such a plan would
come from the local boards of educa
tion who would begrudge the extra
expense involved by the eleven-
month school idea.

en who live out of town must have
special permission to drive home after

RAZZING JAZZ
(McGiU Daily.)
Rising in wrath to come to the
defense of one of its two gods several
journals of the great colossus to the
south of us have taken exception to
the opinion of a distinguished Eng
lish critic, Ernest Newman, respect
ing the American type of music, that
is to say, jazz. One paper styles it
.... ili l. Mint tKef la
as tne one vninjr in
alive today." Yes, jaw has already
strangled real music to death, as far
as quantity is concerned. But many
comic strips will be necessary to off
set a Rembrandt or a Turner. Even
an unusually sensible New York daily
says that 'its rhythms are palpitating
with the new blood of tomorrow.' If
this be so, we rest calmly on the hope
that 'tomorrow never comes.'
Mr. Newman rightly denounces
most severely the jazzers of the
classics. It might be of credit to its
geniuses were jazz really original.
But, on the other hand, it represents
plagiarism in the lowest form. Spoil
ation is easier than creation, seems
to be the policy of the artists in 'tin
pan alley.'
We are loath to assume the role
of prophet, but jour contention is that
jazz is merely an expression of the
prevailing spirit of the day; a wild
effervescing disposition that is a re
sult of the trying times between
1914 and 1920.
The first period of play will be hed
Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, and
women members of the faculty wish
ing to play are asked to bring gym
nasium suits or knickers, as well as
a sweater. Gymnasium shoes, tennies
shoes, or sport shoes with flat heels,
should be worn. Those who wish to
dress at the gymnasium should come
at 10:30.
Three hundred and fifty-five stu
dents out of every 2700 at the Unl
versity of Colorado were discovered
recently to claim neither church,
membership nor religious preference.

'At Forty" th housewife in some sections
of Europe wears a black bonnet to signify
the end of her youth. A quaint custom you
say-but it usually signifies a fact Heavy
tasks, indoors and out, have made her old
at forty.
Of all the usej of electricity in America, the'
most important are those which release the
woman from physical drudgery. Electricity
carries water, washes clothes, cleans carpets,
cooks the family's food better and quicker
than could be done by hand.
