A PERSONNEL PROBLEM HERE AT HOME
One of the biggest boasts of students who are
working their way through school is a recitation of
the regular load of school work they are carrying and
then the aJded recitation of how many hours a week
of hard outside labor they are doing along with that
school work. Still young, they can in most cases stand
the strain for several semesters, but many of them
probably ruin their health for years in the doing. It
might be a worthwhile study for college deans and
officials to follow the careers of these men, comparing
them with those of students who were able to take a
more leisurely pace, for possible valuable lessons in
guidance of later working students. j

BRR, IT'S COLD
The cold wave of the past few days brings to
mind a long-range weather prophecy which occupied
newspaper columns last year. As the result of a study
of heat radiation from the sun, astronomers and met
eorologists of the Smithsonian Institution and other
predicted that the summer of 1927 would go down m
history as the summerless summer with snow, sleet, and
much cold in June, July and even August. Crops will
be ruined for lack of heat. And a world famine will
add to the desolation of floods and other elemental dis
orders occasioned by the falling off of solar radiation.
So th eprophecy goes.
Curiously there has been only a small amount of
public concern over this dire prediction of woe. The
orthodox weather men of the department of agricul
ture for a few weeks last fall waged a newspaper fight
with officials of the Smithsonian Institution and were
only finally silenced by a direct order of the secretary
of the department. Outside of that there has been very
little mention of the whole matter.
Except for greeting purposes when we remark
cheerfully or dolefully about the state of the weather,
we take the well-regulated cycles of the weather so
much for granted that we give them little or no thought
at all. Only the occasional exceptional sprees of the
elements attract attention, and then only because we
still instinctively are awestruck before the grandeur
and might of elemental forces over which we have no
control.
But granted though we take it all, the weather
and its regular sequence in the cycles of spring, sum
mer, fall, winter, and then over again, is the founda
tion of all our human existence. Despise the farm and
the plow as much as we will, the simple fact remains
that our very existence is dependent on tha food
which we raise from the soil. And that food is made
possible only by a sufficient quantity of heat from the
sun. Cut off that heat, and the consequences in curtail
ment of our food supply are Mable to bo stupendous.
The world's reserve supply of food is limited at best.
The elimination of one year's crop would wreck this
reserve in short time. i ,
In the meantime as this cold weather continues
who knows what spectres of famine, disaster, and gen
uine universal want may be lurking around the coiner?
Fortunately similar pessimistic long-range wea
ther forecasts have never materialized although there
are records of lean years, and the orthodox weather
men still eye the present prediction of woe for this
summer with unrelenting professional doubt.

THE MAIL BAG
No chance of The Daily Nebraskan becoming nar
row minded if the mail has anything to do with it
Within one week the staff received abstracts of the an
nual report of the president of the New York Stock
Exchange, and a red covered magazine called The
Communist. Another week they wctc tho recipient of
some well-intentioned Y. M. C. A. secretary pro-Chinese
propaganda, and of some equally well-intentioned
anti-Chinese propaganda from an old English skipper
who has spent his whole life trading with the "heathen
Chinee."
Dear Editor: Evidently all the re
formers are not yet dead. Witness
the letter in yesterday's Nebraskan
pleading that some noble and high
idealed soul come to the rescue and
devote himself to thei task of exposing
the supposedly bad politics connected
with that most holy organization, the
Innocents, perhaps better known as
the "Rally Boys" or "Bonfire Build-
ee v. . VI r
ers, inc. uistoiaugm
I had supposed that the idea of tak-
ing the innocents seriously naa
passed out, along with such quaint
campus fads as believing in the Y.
M. C. A., taking Greek, and wearing
high-water pants. And I really be
lieve it has, except for a few worried
souls such as I. C. O. N. and some
who aspire to bd Innocents. Those
who have been in the organization
certainly know the truth.
After all, as long as we take our
athletics as seriously as we do, we
have got to have rallies. Ask any of
the boys if they can't play harder
after a big display of what they used
to term "Honest-to-God-Good-Old-Nebraska
Guts." Ajid as long as we
have to have rallies we've got to have
bonfires. Now bonfire, rarely start
spontaneously. They must be put
together meticuously, carefully ig
nited. And that is where the In
nocents do their stuff.
So why worry about who are going
to be next year's Innocents and how,
they are going to be selected. Most
anyone who has three years of col
lege training ought to be able to
build an acceptable bonfire. Let the
boys have their fun.
C. Y. N.
P. S. To some ambitious young
novelist who wants to write an ad
venture story that will outsell all the
present children's books, I suggest a
title "The Rally Boys Go Hunting;"
or "How the Six and the Seven Dis
covered the Fourth Dimension."
GETTING ALONG IN THE WORLD
One of the curious things about some occupations
is their apparent inconsistency. A correspondence
school, for instance, advertises sure rise to fame for
those who take its courses. At the same time it em
ploys salesmen who eke only a most ordinary living
peddling the very courses which are supposed to be
such a sure road to success. The same applies to many
personnel workers who give sage advice on choices of
careers. In most cases those people who know most
about "hnw to get there" arc too busy getting there to
stop by the way to tell everybody else about it.
The job proposition is still bothering many grad
uating seniors. It's not personnel direction some of
them need so badly, it's just one little three-letter word,
a J-O-B
OF COURSE
Quite contrary to the general run of newspaper
praise for a prominent Nebraska athlete who refuses
to endanger his final examinations for a little bit mors
running, we'd say he'd be a darned fool not to do what
he is now doing. The sad thing about the entire ath
letic situation, country over, is the big noise with which
is greeted any common-sense action which 10 thousand
and 1 other athletes should be shqwing. The coaches'
and diifetUiiB entnusiasm notwithstanding, twenty
years from now all the athletic records in Spalding's
yearbook will be out of date or else forgotten, but the
young men now in college will just be entering the
prime of the careers for which they were supposed t
be preparing in college. Choosing that career in place
of ephemeral athletic activity is just plain common
sense, much though such choice may be regretted by
the "patriots" and the professionals.
If a toy balloon could cause so much trouble be
tween the laws and the engineers, no wonder all the
world picked on Germany for its zcppelins.
CADETS COMPETE WITH OTHER SCHOOLS
Intercollegiate competition for the cadets well
hardly, you'd say. But that's what they're going to
have this coming Saturday and Monday when inspec
tors from Washington review the year's work. Standing
rigid examination in every phase of the required in
struction with added rating on the general efficiency of
the unit, the cadets are competing for Blue Star distin
guished college rating against fifty or more other units
in universities and colleges west of the Mississippi. Ne
braska had the rating for two consecutive years preced
ing this year. Winning the distinction gives graduates
of the course priority in appointment to commissions in
the regular army, and is a generally accepted indication
of excellent instruction and spirit in the unit.
"Filipino Women Rule the Nation" headline of
Vesper talk in Nebraskan last week. Now we're darned
sure that Thompson was right in recommending to
Coolidge that the "time is not yet ripe for Filipino
independence."
COMING
An annual high school contest staged in Lincoln
which attracts on'y a modest amount of newspaper pub
licity is the series of academic contests to be held on
the campus this week end. The boys and girls from
high schools all over the sttte will compete in such old
fashioned subjects as algebra, geography, English, his
tory, composition, languages, trigonometry, and so on
They come without Jie aid of the school band and the

PH. D. FODDER
Some forward-looking university with an ambi
tious research department ought some day to devote its
attention to standardization of nomenclatures for soft
drink and ice-cream concoctions. It is most annoying
to become accustomed to a malted milk home-style as
served in Red Long's blue moon, for instance, and then
in Milwaukee or Indianapolis discover that the natives
there don't know what a bloomin' home-style is.
While the law-engineer fight was at its height, a
student in one of the smaller colleges, enthusiastic over
the excitement of it all, was advocating that his college
pick a fight with some other college and hve some fun
too. He suggested the Bizads. His companion did some
ha&ty calculating of war strength of the two colleges
(1250 bizads and only 125 in the little college) and
exclaimed "Let's pick a fight with somebody, but let's
not be foolish about it."

EDUCATOR ASKS PERSONAL TOUCH
College Head Say Beit Result Not From
"Perfected Organization"
"The best results in college education will come
not from material equipment, perfected organization
and large endowments, but from the personal touch of
real teachers who can build themselves into the lives of
their students," Dr. Thomas H. McMichael, president of
Monmouth college, Monmouth, 111., said Monday in an
address on "College Problems" before the Professional
Men's club.
Dr. Michael's reply to these critics of modern col
lege life was a defense; of modern college education,
using the ancient potter's motto: "For we potters make
our pots of what we potters are."
"In our American colleges," he said, "we find boys
of superior ability and boys of medium and even lesser
ability getting that which makes them desirable citi
zens. We find boys and girls, too, still willing to dig
and bo sacrifice for an education. We find parents, many
of them who still dream and deny themselves that sons
and daughters may not have a play time but a real op
portunity for life's preparation. At the core, our Amer
ican college life is good.
"But we, in the educational world, are in danger
of overemphasizing mere bigness. We are inclined to
place overemphasis upon drives and campaigns and
buildings and luxurious equipment and perhaps we are
in danger of overemphasizing in education life the verb
to know rather than the verb to be."

What I College. Without Riot.?
When Preident A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard
requested four Cambridge patrolmen to resign for their
work in the so-called Harvard riot, he cited the court
arguments "that the officers made free use of their
sticks in quelling a riot that did not exist "
This seems a duplication of what happened at good
old Ohio State last spring, when a peaceful gathering
around Mirror Lake to watch Bucket and Dipper hurl
erring freshmen into the lake, was misconstrued as the
genesis of a riot by campus policemen, and additional
officers were called.
We suppose, though, that if policemen, campus and
otherwise, read so many of these college books they
nave a ngnt 10 expect a not every once in a whil
or better still, manufacture one.

he continued, and added that, had
Jane had an emotional nature such
as a study of the arts might have de
veloped in her, she might have been
able to save her husband, had she
thought him worth saving.
"Erbine, however, he decided, is
too objective to portray a heroine of
the old type, utterly without fault,
and he has shown himself a master by
his wise constraint. He overdoes
nothing, and it is to be houed that he

more dramas as great as Jane Klegg."
DRAMATIC STUDENTS
GIVE SENIOR RECITAL
e,
"The.. Loafing Club."
In a sweeping denunciation of fraternities and
their effect on college athletics, "Cap" Maynor, former
Big Ten and Missouri coach, lays the athletic success
of Notre Dame, Army and Navy, to the fact that these
schools do not tolerate Greek letter societies. "Cheap,
trashy fratern'ly politics have ruined more athletic
teams than all the gamblers and over-enthusiastic
alumni doubled," he asserts.
Maynor continues by saying, "It is only natural
that star athletes should be desirable and sought after
by -U tha fraternities. Eut kicking, complaining and
laying down on the job simply because some saphead
fraternity brother is wanning the bench when some
one else, a better man, is in the srame. is low rim
and rotten and this seems to be the policy of many of
these loafing clubs."

much extra practicing has been done.
The students are presenting the pro
gram without any charge to the
public.
The acts being given this evening
are four in number. Alyce Connell
is giving the reading of Act I from
the play, "St Joan," written by the
noted playwright and author, Ber
nard Shaw. Most people are familiar
with the story of the life of Joan of
Arc. Shaw's production, "St. John,"
was given in New York two years
ago, where it was a tremenous suc
cess, immediately winning fame.
Act I of Booth Tarkington's "The
Man from Home" is being read by
Lucille Harris. This play is of lighter
mood than "St. John." Thad Cone
is giving Acts 1 and 2 of Snn-TTp,
written by Lulu Vollmer. Esther
Zinnecker, perhaps the most talented
student in Dramatic art to appear in
this recital, according to Miss Howell,
will present the whole of the three
act play," Mary Rose," written by
James M. BarrieV
Tuesday evening Jack Rank will
present the entire play of "The a
Wolf." This is a three act play j
written by Eugene Walters. "A 1 1
Southern Girl," a light and entertain- j p)
ing play, will be given by Elizabeth j
Woodbjiry. "The Doll's House" is'
well-known to students studying Ib-
sen under Prof. Grummann. It ir a pj
play with deeper meaning than the
others, jind requires careful interpre
tation. Henrik Ibsen, famous Swed
ish playwright, is the author and
Rose Cecil is presenting the third act
