h bolryed. We need that senior
ball. 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

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.

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!

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

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.
The guilty party is a traditional
figure who incorporates all the vices

You May Inspect
In the past 12 nstalments we
have had considerable to say
about the cleanness of every
thing connected with the Cen
tral Cafe. And Manager Harris
gives to you and your friends a
standing invitation to come in
any time, night or day, and ask
to be shown through the entire
plant from the big fry station
next the north window to the
store room in the basement
So to speak, the Central
wears its "Sunday-go-to-meet-in'
" clothes every day 24 hours
a day. 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. Also a cold storage sys
tem and air-washing plant
worth your while to inspect.
