Possibly we have bren cruel In xpcctinir reports of action already, since the committees were named only two months apo. And possibly, as Kate Goldstein says of the Junior Senior prom, the plans are in the making: and action is pending. Let us all hope that the ball will be held and that that pala event will be a reality. We hope that the talk was more than camouflage. Was it? OUR GROWING SKEPTICS That people are becoming more and more skeptical of a collepe edu cation as fitting young men and women for the business world is shown by the fact that two more of the world's preat men have voiced sentiments that how their doubt as to the pood of advanced education. W. R. Morris, head of the Morris Motor company of Enpland, de nounces even the century-l rres" tipe of Cambridpe and Oxford in a recent interview in which he seems to pive the opinion of the captains of industry in Great Britain. Clarence Barrow, world famous criminal law yer denounces the collepe education, savinp that "the average collepe stu dent poes to collepe to play around :pare, or because he docsn t know wnai eise to do." In explaining his remarks, Mr. Morris stated that he had no high opinion of the value of universities for education for such essentially practical purposes as industry or commerce. "A collepe education, from a business point of view," he said, "is absolutely useless." He said that he knew there were exceptions, but that he had never found a uni versity man in his employ who was of any use, and for that reason thinks university training is abso lutely a waste of time. Mr. Morris said be received bis education in a practical shop, and be WE ALREADY HAVE IT. Representative Johnson f Sheri dan county has introduced a bill in the kpislature which provides that all public schools, including the state university, must require the reading of ten verses of the Bible each day. Before the law-makers po further they should be informed that the majority of university students would undoubtedly sleep throuph the reading of the Bible in classes, not because of their agnostic belief but because of their inherent natures which, like all human nature, rebel at compulsion. It is not that the University as a whole is a sacrilegious institution. For information on this point the legislature is referred to the Univer sity catalog, as follows: page 37(5, Courses, English 132, Intensive Study of Job and Other Ancient Literature, and English 183, Literary art in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; page 410, Courses, Philosophy 161 and 162, Israel's Religious Ideals; and Courses 163 and 164, New Tes tament Ideals. Here is the study of the Bible in the University already. Notices i aaaaaai aBBaaaaai a aaaaaal M m aaaaM M asalMaHasakaa FABLE. Once there was a moue and a cat The cat had the habit of chasing the mouse all over the place, and the mouse, after years (or was it months) of desperation, contrived the idea of running into a bird cage whenever the cat started on a ram- So the mouse triumphed over the cat. It was simple, wasn't it? The cur ious thing is that men for the last fifty years have not bethought them selves of that fable until this week. The world is now to be congratulated that man at last saw the light and adapted the mouse's idea to their own needs. The word came out of London this week that whiskers and mustaches are to return to style and popular favor immediately. Harrassed for years by the increasing masculinity of women, the men have constructed a bird-cage into which they can flee in order to keep their male distinc- cause one who receives bis education tiveness and their male superiority this way knows what the workers think, he believes it best that a cap tain of industry be a working man rather than a college graduate. "Neither Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, nor Harvard can train men to under stand their workmen," he declared. Clarence Darrow, Chicago attor rey, said that 999 out of 1000 col lege students pet a good time out of their education and maybe the other one gets a real education. Concern ing high school education Mr. Dar row stated that it was a good thing for those who appreciate its value while they are in high school. What these two men think and say one a leading lawyer and the other the "Henry Ford of England" should promote thought in the minds of allege students. Is a col- lege education worth the four years or more of time put into it, or is it just a four-year vacation preceding the actual work of business and life? Intact. For women cannot grow whiskers!

A student of the type de scribed would last about as long un der the penal-like Hill restrictions as the proverbial snowball. In the first place he would be unable to stand the strain, much less the environ ment In the second place he would have to be a genius to conduct such a career while meeting scholastic standards and at the same time es caping the eagle eye of an ever watchful faculty. As an animal, he aint But O! what juicy conversa tion he makes. And the saddest part of it is that a lot of low-minded tax payers are only too willing to be lieve the fabulous, rumora of his activities. of every wayward student who has been kicked out of a university in the past fifty years. He is a good-for-nothing loafer, a tea hound, a fashion dummy, a football fan and a wolf in sheep's clothing. His consorts are frivolous damsels whose chief diver sion is slipping away to dubious road houses where all sorts of wild orgies take place nightly. In fact this myth ical character is all that he is pic tured in College Humor, plus sustain ing rumors. The utter impossibility of the ma jority of these rumors makes them BETTER SHOWS (The Miaaouri Student) Two University students were ar rested at a local theater one after noon last week, and the following morning they were fined in the Co lumbia police court on charges of peace disturbance. The students were guilty of the high crime of voicing their disapproval and dis- Igust at an alleged vaudeville per formance. The ends of justice would have been better served had the man apement of the theater which permit ted the giving in public of such atro cious entertainment been arrested and fined. It happened that only two persons suffered lepal punishment for expressing their disapproval of the show; hundreds of others under went sufficient punishment, but it was during the time they sat throuph the performances. The standards and tastes of the theater patrons of Columbia are in sulted nearly every day. Perhaps it is better that the theaters are open only six days a week. In fairness, it must be said that occasionally pood entertainments are broupht to Columbia show houses, but these are the exception. These rare pood shows are well patronized. The theater manapement cannot complain that the better pictures, vaudeville, and plays of various sorts are not at tended. From a strictly selfish stand point those who own the theaters should bring a hipher type of enter tainment here. There is a demand for such by the students, faculty members and townpeople. j The patience of the students has been sorely tried by most of the vaudeville acts at the Columbia and many of the motion pictures shown at that and the other theaters. The owners will do well to pive this very important group of patrons better shows. The loss of student patronage would result in a startling slump in CAMOUFLAGE? In The Daily Nebraskan, issue of Wednesday, Dec. 8, 1926, there ap peared a news article (or shall we call it that, since everyone realized it would come) under the caption, "Name Senior Committees." We felt sure as we took notice of the headline that it would be an interesting article so we read it And to our satisfaction there was an announcement that th;s year, this school year, there would be a senior ball. Throughout the semester, before the announcement was made, we felt sure that the old senior class would not be out done in the appointment of committees. We were extremely happy to know that committees had been named, and that there would be a senior ball. Therefore for the ensuing time we have been anxiously awaiting further notice of the activ ities of the committeemen, and es pecially the ball committee. Judging by the activities of the publicity committee, possibly the groups are on leave . of absence, or possibly the meetings are in secret It will certainly be disastrous if the ball idea is dropped entirely be cause we felt that by this move the senior class would be ahead of the other classes, and surel? all seniors wi3 be sorely aggravated if the class fails to have said ball. We have awaited the action of Phil Sidles of the entertainment committee, Glen Buck of the invitation committee, and Robert Hoapland of the hop committee, and felt that although other class committees bad been rid iculed, surely these illustrious s"bns would not shirk their duties as chair men and fall to the depths and rank of superfluous officers. However, we still have faith in that noble spnior class. Surely our fioU)ft!l celebrity and class presi Oi i-'t, Joe Wt-ir (if you have forgot- t who the senior clatm conferred t-r t f.r.r.or upon), will not allow his -r ; . ,- rnnn to evade their respon COLLEGIATE SCANDAL (Daily Kanaan) A rumor wandered back to the Hill the other day, as rumors will. A group of girls was having a tete-a- tete in a hallway. "You know," said one, "I heard the funniest story while I was home. A neighbor, a nice respectable old lady; told it to me in strictest confidence. She got the story from a friend who knows the wife of one of the janitors. 'And you know,' she said, 'some mornings after they have parties up there the campus is just simply littered with silk bloomers." The idea is not new. The older penerations are always suspicious of their offspring. It would be unfair to say they judge us by themselves, but the fact remains that state schobls throughout the country come in for a lot more muck-raking than they de serve. Rumors of the barber shop variety are constantly arising from nobody knows where.

Not that it never changes its dress, but that it is always "dressed up" and ready to welcome visitors. You are always welcome. The big range or fry station near the window is itself worthy of a cr.reful "once over". Its hnge proportions, its stainless rustless metal, its steam table for foods to be served, its pots for making French fried pota toes, its big plates for frying, are all of interest You will see meat slicers, bread cutters, electric toasters, electric egg boilers, meat grind ers, mixers, potato peelers, dish washers, bake ovens, a shower bath, and a store room which would make many a grocery en vious.

This revised point system for the women of the University of Nebras ka has been worked on by a commit tee from the A. W. S. Board. -The committee members are Helen An derson, chairman Helen Van Guilder and Audrey Bcales, The point system for women at the University of Michigan has been used as a basis for the revised point system to be put into effect here. At the student government conference last year it was definitely under stood that Michigan had one of the best systems in the country. PARTY PROGRAMS SCHOOL SUPPLIES PRINTING .
