seem to be very much th same. Thy-
sically, of course, there is a great
difference, but close your eyes and
listen to the conversation of a group
of undergraduates and you couldn't
tell whether you were in California,
Ohio State, Wisconsin, or Nebraska.
By comparison. Nebraska does not
suffer much. In general we have the
same faults as the others, Borne 01
ours are worse and some are not
quite so bad. But although it is in
teresting to study another university
nd talk with undergraduates from
all over the country, it seems good
to get back where someone calls you
by your first name once in a while
instead of continually calling you
"Nebraska".
The most striking thing about a
visit to another university campus is
the similarity of the other institution
to your own. In general they do the
same things and talk about the same
things. The same grievances are
aired and the same things com
mended. Football is, of course, the main
topic of conversation for it is the
one thing in which all, or nearly all,
university students are interested. It
doesn't matter whether you yourself
ever wore a football suit in your
life, you are respected according to
the record of your football team.
In this respect students from Ne
braska are fortunate. "You're from
Nebraska Oh yes, that's the team
that always beats Notre Dame." This
is the sort of thing you may expect
when you announce the fact that you
hail from Nebraska. In Big Ten cir
cles they also remember some very
excellent games played against Il
linois. So Nebraska is known and respec
ted all over the country for having
good football teams year after year.
You can talk all you want to about
the evil of football as it exists to
day, but as long as it does exist, Ne
braska students can be thankful for
having very creditable teams. While
undoubtedly it is not the highest com
pliment that could be paid a univer
sity, one cannot suppress a feeling of
pride when someone remarks "You
certainly do raise Borne " d football
players out in Nebraska, don't you?"
Too many organizations, rotten
politics, an unjust Dean, need of
funds all of these seem to be found
on most of the American campuses,
at least so it would appear to hear
the talk of various undergraduates.
In addition there is the poorly edited
college paper, the faculty which
won't listen to the students, the ai n
letic department which is badly man
aged, and a score of other things
which are to be found wrong with
our modern universities.
It is particularly interesting to
note that policies are to be found on
every campus and that the students
usually seem to feel that they are
an evil but that no one seems to have
any idea as to how to get rid of them.
Not many schools seem to be as bad
as Nebraska, that is where the two
sides remain the same year in and
year out. In some schools sides are
formed on different elections and
different issues and in others the fac
tions are permitted to come out in
the open and announce to the world
their so-called "platforms". But in
all of them there is some sort of
school politics and almost always the
word "rotten" goes along with it.
, Jn one university an advisory board
bt undergraduates Is supposed to be
appointed by the President. "But it
doesn't amount to anything, it's all
run by politics. The President doesn't
even know me and I was appointed
on the Board."
In another university the factions
secure the support of the female por
tion of the student body through ser
enades the night before election. In
this school it seems that the man
with the best orchestra back of him
wins. . .
It might be interesting to our read
ptu to know that this is not the only
college paper in the country which
is the subject of considerable criti
cism on the Dart of the undergrad
Uates. One student will tell you, "Oh,
ihtt Dailv is all rieht but it's afraid
to nrint anvthine held under the
Prexv's thumb." Another will make
a remark about the same paper some
thins like this: "The Daily would get
along all right and be a lot better
paper if it wasn t always trying to
Etart something.
Student councils or similar organi
sations vary a great deal. In some
schools they are powerful organiza
tions which take over many of the
rn attars of student discipline. In
other institutions they are mere fig'
me Leads with no power and nothing
much to do, just about like our Stu
Cer.t Council has been in the past
They seem to flourish better, hovr-
ever, in prices where the entire stu
dent body meets at regular intervals.
It is seldom that the organizations
r, -aunt to much in institutions like
KiT-rusks where the entire student
1 o,:y is never brought together.

keep the student on the road to an
education.
Quarterly Report Recorded
When the quarterly reports on de
linquency are submitted by the in
structors, the office of the dean of
men records them. At the end of
the first and third quarters of each
semester, slips are sent to all delin
quent students notifying them of
their low standing. Students delin
quent in one-half or more of their
hours are called into the dean's of
fice for a conference. An attempt
is made to find the cause of the stu
dent's difficulty and to point the
way to its remedy. However it may
sometimes seem to the student, the
offices of the dean of men and the
dean of women have the best inter
ests of the students at heart.
The reports at the first and third
quarters are largely as guides to
what may be expected and as warn
ings to the students. However at
mid-semester and at the end of each
semester, the scholarship committee
passes on all cases coming under the
scholarship rules of the school. It is
at these periods that numerous poor
students suddenly have to leave
school on account of "poor eyes" or
"lack of money". It is the purpose
of the dean's office to make these
withdrawals from the University as
few as possible by letting the student
know of his delinquencies, by limit
ing his work, and by counselling with
him.
We have already pointed out that
the dean's office probably has a clos-
er personal contact with the students
than any other office on the campus.
Likewise, it is constantly in touch
with the deans of the colleges. They
are consulted in regard to students
in many cases of scholarship and con
duct. The dean of men's office, too,
is practically the only University of
fice which has any contact with the
students' parents. Notices are sent
by the dean's office to the parents of
students excessively low at the end
of the third quarter. This serves as
a three-way protection. It protects
the school from criticism that the
parents didn't know that their son
or daughter was in danger of failing;
it protects the parents by letting
them know the facts, and it protects
the student by warning him and by
warning those with the fullest in
fluence over him.
An important ex-officio position of
the dean of men is that of chairman
of the eligibility committee of the
University. This committee has
charge of the determination of the
eligibility of all candidates for var
sity athletics and also of the eligibil
ity of all students for participation
in other University activities. This
fits in with the attempts of the
dean's office to keep scholarship up.
Excessive activities can be curtailed
or controlled- The necessity of doing
this in some cases has made the work
of the dean's office more difficult.

individual problem with individual
twists to it. Each requires individual
treatment. Through the year of
changing problems, the work of the
dean's office goes on, unheralded and
unsung, but nevertheless, a vital fac
tor to the stability of the University.
It has led to the opinion that restric
tion is the aim of the office. How
ever, restriction is but an incidental
part of the work of the dean's office.
Fundamentally, the office seeks to be
of help to the student. It wants to
help him get along, What restric
tions are made, are made with tho
belief that they are for the ultimate
benefit of the student.
The office wants to help the stu
dents. But it wants to do so by mak
ing the students realize their obliga
tions. It is not often that drastic
steps have to be taken by the dean
of men. However, patience and time
are invaluable requisites of the of
fice. Trouble never ceases. Some
are readily adjusted, some not. But
the dean's office must face them all,
must face one after another, every
one different. Every problem is an
Reference Bureau
Has Busy Season
(Continued from Page One.)
When a law is to be amended the
bill must show everything that is
contained in the law, what is to be
dropped out or changed, and what is
to be added. Many bills that come
to the Reference Bureau have to be
rewritten. Others are not only re
written but are combined with a sim
ilar bill. Often work is done on a
bill at the bureau that almost
amounts to making a new one with
the same title. The bills, after they
have gone through the Reference
Bureau, are sent to a committee that
looks them over. Incidentally the
bureau often writes reports for var
ious committees.
In the reference library of the
bureau nre pll sorts of up-to-dntc
clippings, pamphlets, and books on
almost every subject that has tD do
with government. The Legislative
Reference Bureau Library here is
the best of its kind in Nebraska. It
does not duplicate other libraries.
Besides legislators, students alo use
this library.
Every year about five thousand
pieces are added to the library, and
about half that amount of obsolete
material is thrown away as the bur
eau has no use for anything that is
not up-to-date.
"Everything required of us as citi
zens," stated Miss Bullock, "is speci
fied by laws." Miss Bullock finds from
coming in contact so often with lawt
and their makers that a law is never
made until a need for it arises then
it requires and makes us obey it.
Laws are only made on subjects
touching people, for it is for the dpo
ple they are made. The object of
them is to forward the good of the
greatest number. Traffic rules are
an excellent example of this. Millions
of things are the matter of the sub
ject of laws. A great many of these
laws have to do with the most inti
mate details of peoples' lives. It is
not strange considering there are so
many laws, that people are ahvavs
breaking them. Many people break
some laws without knowing they exist
and perhaps they never find out they
are doing it unless they get into
trouble through their unconscious
misdemeanor.

but why choose your
life-work that way?
YOU'D laugh at a man who couldn't .
make up his mind which colors to back.
But isn't that about the way a good many
men start out on their careers ?
All through college the most important
study a man can select is himself to find
out by self-analysis and experience what is
his particular aptitude and what work he
should get into after college.
It's a good rule to talk this over with the
faculty and with men out in industry to get
all the guidance y'ou can in "finding your
self" because your whole happiness and
effectiveness in your career is at stake.
