have shown more than a passing; in
terest in tho subject bo far. But how
about the people in the other parts
of the country. How are they to
know all this?
There really should be some sort
of Protective Order for Students.
The farmers think they are being
imposed upon and the laborers think
they are being imposed upon. It is
our contention that if the truth were
known they would all have to take
a back seat in favor of the students
for the title of the "Most-imposed-upon
class of persons in the country."
College Press
The Christian Science Monitor es
timates there are something like
100,000 young men and women, in
state colleges and universities only,
paving part or all of their expenses
while they study. This doe3 not take
into account the vast number of pri
vate institutions.
In 24 state universities, the report
says, 60,000 are paying for part or
all of their education in dozens of
strangely varied jobs. Fifteen thou
sand young men and women in these
universities are weaned entirely from
the necessity of checks from home.
Ten universities are of the belief
that more than half of the student
Tody earns some of its money by
working. Out of the twenty-seven
schools questioned, twenty-four Bay
that working students are prominent
in activities.
This calls to mind the report on
self-support at the University of Ne
braska which was compiled in the
spring of 1925. At that time it was
found that 57.6 per cent of the Uni
versity students were either wholly
or partially self-supporting. Approx
imately 41 per cent of the men and
19 per cent of the women were
shown to be wholly self-supporting.
Thirty-five per cent of the men and
19 per cent of the women were par
tially self-supporting.
This is the sort of thing which the
public seldom hears about university
students. What it usually hears about
the goings-on at the university cam
puses has to do with liquor, petting,
free love, wild parties, football scan
dals, and student riots. Thanks to
the press of the country, the public
knows very little of the thousands
and thousands of students on our
American campuses who are really
trying to get something out of their
years at college, many of them work
ing at the same time and really un
dergoing hardships to get their edu
cation. And the press is not solely to
blame. It is a well-known fact that
people like to read about others mis
deeds rather than their praiseworthy
actions. Some clever "press-agent-ing"
on the part of the universities
is about what is needed. There are
things which are going on around
our American universities which the
public would be glad to hear about
and which would reflect much more
creditably on the institutions.
It is merely a case of showing our
other side. There is no use denying
that university students drink, pet,
and all the other things that other
persons of the same age do and as
long as they do these things the pub
lic will hear about them, that is un
less we can succeed in "suppressing"
the news. There is no reason, how
ever, why that should be all the pub
lic ever hears about the universities.
Why not put our best foot forward
for a change?
There is another way in which the
public is being hoodwinked all the
time. Two or three long-haired pro
fessional agitators will get together
and start some campaign and call it
a part of the "growing youth move
ment which is swelling like an ap
proaching storm on the campuses of
our universities" and so on and so
forth and the public will fall for it
and wonder what this younger gen
eration can be thinking about and
where it is all going to end.
The fact of the matter is that
most of this so-called "youth move
ment" is coming from men and wom
en whose "youthful" days are now
nothing more nor less than unpleas
ant memories.
A good example of this occurred
at the recent Milwaukee conference.
Among the news stories which gushed
forth from that conference was a
prs association dispatch which
ouotod the executive secretary of the
committee on militarism in education
fit prpr;t lor.pth. Among other tilings
t':e di.Tatch stated: "The Minnesota
jir-.fo ltrgibV.Bre will be asked to re--
the question this year, he
f;.;i, JiiJ a referendum is sought in
Nebraska by 82,000 students."

"HASH SLINGERS"
(Ohio Slate Lantern)
Simetime in the course of their
university careers most male stu
dents take a part time job or think
of doing so. Frequently it is a case
of financial necessity but almost as
frequently it reflects nothing else
but the desire on the part of the stu
dent to take some of the burden of
the expense of his education off his
parents' shoulders. All of which, of
course, is very commendable.
Seldom does a student feel this
urge after his sophomore year.
Whenever a junior or senior has a
part time job it is almost certain
that he must work to get enough
money to keep him in the University.
Why? Because if he did not have to
work, the chances are that he would
be in some of the countless activi
ties that flourish on the campus and
that they would take all his spare
time.
These part time jobs include al
most every kind of work imaginable,
taxi cab driving, tending furnaces,
clerking, doing newspaper work, act
ing as professional pall bearer, and
so on almost indefinitely, but most
frequently the students' work is
"hash-slinging."
"Hash-slinging" for the benefit of
the laity, is any kind of a job that
involves waiting on table or washing
dishes. In restaurants, hotels, board
ing houses, fraternities, and sorori
ties the hash-slingers can be found.
Most of them work just three or four
hours a day and get their meals in
return.
Hash-slingers may be specialists in
their lines and then are called "dish
washers," waiters, or "scavengers"
according to their special work.
These divisions are usually found
only in the student houses. A "scav
enger," by the way, is one who
scrapes dishes on the table and then
carries them to the dishwasher.
Like most of the other jobs, hash
slinging is hard work and the stu
dent who follows it has little time
for either rest or pleasure but he
does have a lot of fun out of it and
no one makes any difference, thinks
any less of him because of his menial
work.

NICKNAMES
(Minneaota Daily)
Nicknames are a testimony of
some great triumph in life. Unless
you have done some immortal thing,
you have not earned the right to
have your name shortened and spiced
till it is sweet on the tongue. Take
"Slim", for instance; once he proved
himself a hero by slipping through
a stapled gate and returning with a
waistful of apples. Or "Fatty", who
saved the football team by lying
down on the line and blocking a
score when the other team fell on
top of him. These fellows will carry
their little successes with them for
ever because of their nicknames.
Too, nicknames are shorteners for
some impossible names. Why should
we call a bespectacled lad "Archi
bald" when we can slap him on the
back, friend-like, and say "Arch, old
boy!" Or again, why take the chance
of splitting our tongue saying "Alci
biades" when we may dismiss this
terrible name quite simply with,
"You know me, Al!"
Nicknames are friendly. Some
thing there is about them which
makes you feel intimate with men.
When you are introduced to a digni
fied fellow with shell-rim glasses and
immaculate attire and then suddenly
learn that he is called "Squick" by
his friends, you feel you have known
him for ages. The very fact that you
can drop the common and unmean
ing "Mr." with men breeds a com
panionship which can overlook white
collars and superiority complexes.
Yes, nicknames are likeable things,
yet we sometimes wish the fellows
would get over the habit of calling
us "Shrimpy".

Extremes of College Life Are Too
Often Described Today by Authors
Journalism Student
Presides at Banquet
Vermillion. S.' D.. Jan. 10 Ashley
Brown, junior from Sioux Falls, has
been aDDointed chief "roastmaster"
for the Gridiron banquet by Sigma
Delta Chi, journalism fraternity, at
the Universitv of South Dakota. The
banquet will be held Friday, Febru
ary 18.
Brown was assistant "roastmaster
at the banquet last year. His native
talent is attested by the fact that he
was the winner of high honors both
this year and last m the vaudeville
contest conducted by the strollers
with a series of satiric comedy stunts
As "roastmaster" it will be his duty
to apply the lash of satire upon the
guests for their own amusement.
The following article from the
Minnesota Daily throws some light
on the fraternity question:
Seldom, it seems, does an article
defending some particular phase of
college life find its way into the col
umns of a periodical. When this rare
manifestation does occur, however,
a lack of perspective on the part of
l the writer defeats his ends, and the
contribution is passed over with but
little comment.
The current issue of the "Review
of Reviews" contains an article by
Mr. Frank A. Waugh, carrying the
title "The College Fraternity". Mr.
Waugh opens his discussion by citing
specific instances wherein college
fraternities expressed their disap
proval of objectionable conduct by
placing offending members at the
mercy of the college authorities.
From that point on, the article ram
bles on and on, until it reaches a
close after winding through a mane
of disjointed paragraphs.
We do not wish to take Mr. Waugh
to task for the manner in which he
presented the fraternity's case be
fore the public. There can be no
doubt in anyone's mind that frater
nities do take an important part in
college life, and that they are a wel
come influence upon the campus.
However we do lament that no one
has ever succeeded in breathing col
lege life in a coherent manner. Col
lege life is either violently criticized
or lauded to the skies.
No author has yet succeeded in de
picting the various phases of a col
lege student's existence so that the
reading public is given an authentic
imacre of his daily life. In the past
we have been entertained by the
Hanover Trustees Retain Dr. Millis
The board of trustees at Hanover
College have refused to accept the
resignation of Dr. Millis, who has
been president of the college for
seventeen years. Because of the time
and money that Dr. Millis has given,
the board felt his need at the school
was imperative.

Little stories about the
Prices
As we said in Instalment No.
10, "The Central is a popular
cafe"; and. that expression is
broad enough to cover the ques
tion of prices.
For the prices are as low as
they can be consistently and
cover the cost of rent, food, la
bor, etc. and leave a profit for
the management. Manager Har
ris rays the highest going wages
in Lincoln for his help gener
ally somewhat above the cur
rent rates.
Quantity production and ser
vice make it possible for Mr.
. Harris to realize a profit at
prices which would bankrupt a
concern selling only half as
much but with a similar over
head. Feeding ha1 t million
or more people annu or makes
the per capita overhead very
low. It would be practically
five times as much per person if
only a) hundred thousand per
year were fed.
A very satisfying combina
tion rests 25 cents. A la carte
breakfast anywhere from 15
cents. Luncheon 40 to 60
cents. Dinner 451 to 75 cents
and upwards. No table charge.
No tips if you don't feel like

cloying drivel which records the Sir
Gallahad adventures of Rollo, the
saintly athlete. College life is these
novels is a succession 01 tnumpns
nvr villainy, intellectual conquests,
athletic feats, and, as the finishing
touch, the "hop", with its romantic
setting for the essential love affair.
Swineine to the other extreme are
the modern novels which are "so
collegiate". The characters of these
roHes are without exception, young
people steeped in iniquity, whose es
capades provide very entertaining
reading for an expectant public.
After the author has led his charac
ters through the pitfalls which beset
college people, the last chapter winds
up in an unexpressed query. The edu
cational process has been a series of
disillusionment"., and the hero, if we
may violate the accepted canons of
literature by calling him such, wishes
to heaven that he had never been
brought into this vale of tears.
.As long as peopto fail to writa
of college life with lucid perceptions
we may expect those outside our
sphere to misunderstunl us. Perhaps
we need a genius to champion our
cause, and perhaps that genius win
succeed in enriching our literature.
Until he arrives, however, we shall
be a doubting group.

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. Itis
shared by hard-headed business men today.
