SCHOLARSHIP VS.
FOOTBALL
Chancellor Lindsey of Kansas Uni
versity bemoans the fact that collegre
athletics, and particularly football,
have subordinated all the other in
terests of students in the colleges of
the country. He continues with the
assertion that steps must be taken
to minimize the attention now given
football. Has football, this great
American sport which is attracting
so much attention over the country
during the fall season, really reached
the place in college life which Dr.
Lindsey describes? We do not think
so.
Dr. Lindsey's statement is a rather
broad one to attempt to rrove. In
fact the only way to know definitely
how the students of our colleges and
universities feel about this subject,
would be to take a vote of the stu
dents at a majority of the represen
tative schools. This would take quite
a period of time, and we do not be-
if hpnefits known throughout
Nebraska and in other parts of the
country.
The freshman will be closely
wntched when he returns home on
his first real vacation. His every
action will be noticed and changes in
him will be looked for by his friends
at home. The first year student has
a real duty when he leaves Lincoln
this week in that he has the biggest
opportunity of his life to advertise
his school and show the "people back
home" whet it has meant to be a stu
dent in a great institution.
And the freshmen aren't the only
ones who will be noticed. The con
duct and bearing of others who have
v.on nttendint? the University before
will be watched carefully and any
changes will be noted.
The University should be better
known and its benefits should De
even more impressed on Nebraska
people when students return to
school January 3. It is the duty of
every person connected with the uni
versity to further the institution and
the best way he can do it during me
next two weeks is to advertise it
through his own actions and devel
opments. The most concerted action of this
sort will come with the tour of "The
Dream Pirate", Kosmet Klub s 1926
show when 50 University students
will visit and put on the show in
eight cities in the state. This group
has a wonderful opportunity for fur
thering the interests of the institu
tion out in the state and it is with
this in mind that this first tour is
being made.
But those who are not going on
this tour can also do a great deal
along the same line. The opportunity
is offered everyone and it is hoped
that it will be used to the best ad
vantage.

Two Years Ago
football seems to be of prime impor
tance to University students. Foot
ball is heard and seen, and nothing
else seems to matter. But there is
no way to compare this exhibition in
favor of football with the interest
students show in scholarship. Stud''
ing is more concerned with the pri
vate life of the students they do
not get out and make a public dem
onstration in favor of scholarship, as
they do for f ootbalL A small minor
ity makes most of the noise before
football games, just as is the case
with small minorities in other situa
tions. Many students attend the
games to be sure, but. when a like
amount of them are studying some
Wednesday evening, there is no way
to inform Chancellor Lindsey of their
intense preparation for some life
work. Studies fill a very definite
niche in college life, just as football
does.
"All work and no play makes
Johnny a dull boy," is the best de
scription we know of the place, which
the football game takes in a stu
dent's life. If it were not football it
would be something else. Students
must have some form of diversion
in which they are interested while in
college. They will spend only a cer
tain amount of time studying, and
after that it is only natural that they
will seek some recreation. And what
better kind could be found than this
sport? The percentage that plays the
game, of course, is negligible, but
players are not the only ones con
cerned who are benefited. A contest
between two schools brings the stu
dent body into harmony and unison
in a way which no other event could
accomnlish. It develops in them the
principle of sportsmanship, and last
but not least, it fills that human de
sire for contests which the older
Dublic exnresses by its interest in
such events as the world's series or
a Demosey-Tunney match.
Taking the comparison of schol
arshiD and football from the inside,
looking out, it appears that studies
take the most important place in the
average student's life, although he
may not advertise it as he does his
attendance at a football game. The
maioritv of students realize the ne
cessity of fitting themselves for their
later life. Football, on the other
hand, fills that need for recreatkn
in afwt cases very successfully, con
siderinar the many advantages which
the game possesses over other forms
of recreation for college students.

Men Have Majority
In All Colleges But
One at Oklahoma U.
Norman, Dec. 16. (Special.)
Men students outnumber women al
most two to one at the University of
Oklahoma this year.
Records for the first semester of
this school year show that 2934 men
and onlv 1497 women are enrolled in
the university, according to George
Wadsack, registrar.
In the school of arts and sciences
the number of men and women is
more nearly equal than in any other
department. In this school there are
1517 men and 1039 women.
The college of engineering with
n enrollment of 610 men and the
school of nursing with an enrollment
of 65 women are the only divisions
of the university which fail to show
co-educational tendencies.

Cleanliness (continued)
Food Quality
Instalments 5 to 7 were de
voted to the policy of Manager
Harris of the Central Caf in
regard to cleanliness. We shall
now touch somewhat on his at
titude toward food quality.
Just as he insists on the most
scrupulous cleanliness in every
thing about the cafe, so is he
insistent that every article of
food shall be the very best of its
kind obtainable.
The extent to which Mr. Har
ris goes in this regard might be
illustrated by the story Bill Nye
told of the soft-boiled egg he
ordered at a hotel. When he
cut it open, he declared it al
most asphyxiated him. He call
ed the head waiter to lodge a
complaint.
"Ah, I see, sir," said the head
waiter, "that, sir, is a cooking
egg and not an eating egg.
Whereupon Bill comments
upon the angle food cake which
might have been made from
that "cooking egg."
As far as lie can, Mr. Harris
buys fresh country eggs; but in
spite of everything he can do
there will always be some eggs
in a case which do not look ex
actly right when broken into
the frying pan. These are in
variably dumped into the gar
bage can.
A friend said to him one day:
"Those eggs could be used by
your baker; they are a mighty
sight better than many of the
egzs used in bakeries."
ihey aren t eood enouch to

II Communication I
CECIL RHODES, the diamond king,
had a real idea which he passed on
to diamonds in the rough.
"Be well-rounded men, broad in your
sympathies," he said, and he made this the
basis for selection of Rhodes scholars.
Surely there's a lesson for every man
graduates alike in arts, in pure science or
in applied science to balance the student
in him with the athlete, the individualist
with the man of sociability, the specialist
with the "citizen of the world."
For Rhodes' idea was no theory. It is
shared by hard-hetded business men today.
