WHAT WILL THE CORNHUSKER DO?
Now that the Cornhusker sales campaign is safely
over and this publication cannot be blamed for inter
fering, there can be no harm done in commenting upon
the "Representative Nebraskan" contest, which un
doubtedly sold many extra books for the business
manager. From a business standpoint that was a mighty
clever way to get Nebraska students interested in buy
ing a Cornhusker. From a "representative" standpoint,
it was a mistake.
Eight students were chosen as representative of
the qualities which senior men and women should have.
The choice was made, according to an announcement,
upon the basis of merit, of interest in general Uni
versity activities, social activities, scholastic record,
and rating as a true Cornhusker with the highest of
Nebraska ideals.
These were the qualities laid down as a basis of
selection but they were not the ones which influenced
the large body of voters. Popularity, regardless of
useful activity, is practically always the factor under
lying the vote at any general student election. It is the
popularity which will decide the winners in this con
test. Not that the students themselves vote falsely.
They do not consider the meaning of the word "rep
resentative". It is simply a case of whom they like
best personally, for they do not stop to consider that
individual's qualifications for the position in question.
The fault lies with those who advanced the name "rep
resentative". They certainly realize student tendencies
in a matter of this kind, the seeming impossibility
for the majority of people of this age and in this en
vironment to consider such a thing objectively, and on
a basis of relative values.
a a
We do not argue that such a section is not worthy
of a place in the Cornhusker, but it is evidently im
possible to select representative Nebraska from pop
ular vote. It takes a small group of purposeful think
ers, and then the result is not decided by the student
body.
About the only alternative left for the Cornhusker,
if the staff uses the results of its election, is to re-name
the contest using the terra "popularity" instead of "rep
resentative". This is not an unheard of kind of con
test; in fact, those selected as "representatives" should
feel just as gratified in being named "most popular".
But, of course, there would have to be another
"thorn in the side" to this title. Only about 1500 stu
dents seem to buy Cornhuskers, whil approximately
6000 are enrolled in the institution. It is therefore not
right to say that certain students are the most popular
in school, when only about one fourth do the deciding.
By a gradual process of elimination, about the only
truthful title for those elected would be "Cornhusker
Readers Popularity" contest winners.
It will be interesting to see just what our year
book 6taff will do with this problem. Those concerned
made their mistake in naming the contest They admit
it. Will they show similar good judgment in rectifying
this error?
STUDENTS WHO WORK
About two out of three students who enter the
University have sufficient funds to pay for the cost
of a year's education, according to local employment
statistics. A few of the other third have sufficient funds
ta carry them through one semester; others come to
ecbool dependent upon their ability to earn enough
money to enable them to carry a few courses.
The former class has little to worry about With
no financial troubles, they can devote all their time
to study, activities, and recreation. The third person,
however, must not only keep up his studies, tat must
finance himself in order to get an education. In addi
tion, he often wishes to participate in some extra-curricular
activity so that he may derive more benefit
from his University work.
The remarkable thing about the whole situation
is that the student who has to work often achieves the
most ia his studies and campus activities. It is this
person, in the viewpoint of many educators, that makes
the best all-round student and the best citizen when
be leaves school.
To encourage and aid such persons in continuing
their school work, then, is a valuable contribution t
education. One of the factors that has already proven
its worth in this achievement is the employment bureau
bow maintained by the University. In former days,
t- ..... .v-ucuu were lurcea 1 o za irom one
firm to another begging for employment that they micht
continue their education. Such a system was unsatis
factory and many students were forced to quit their
studies.
The establishment of the employment bureau has
made it mnch easier for the working student At regis-
u-auon eacn sxuaent who wishes work L directed to the
bureau and his name is filed. Industries are canvassed
and a list of possible employer, ig prepared. In this
way the student and the industry are brought together.
Much lost time is eliminated and a better class of work
ers are secured. In this manner both the student and
the employer are better setisfied.
In a recent editorial this paper denied that Ne
braska students seemed to lose all scholastic interest
several days before a football game, as some college
professor claimed in an article we reprinted. Today and
tomorrow will be excellent instances to see if our
statements were correct, or if the students are unable
to live up to the promises we made.

To the Editor;
Inasmuch as the "car argument" has become a
trifle outworn of late, whereas the "Spectator" is in
disposed, and "Soap Box" contributions are welcome,
I should like, for the sake of variety, to introduce a
new phase of the problem, since everything appears to
have been said upon its two more obvious sides. It is
my pleasure, this bright morning, to suggest the pos
sibility of "Campus nags".
Tradition has it that, back in the not so distant
past, various mammalia were wont to graze placidly
along the paths leading to old "U" Hall, and certainly
a mistake is being made if we lose the opportunity to
bring our four-footed friends bck again now that park
ing conditions are such that, as one student has put it,
there- is little difference between walking from home
and walking from the closest possible place where an
automobile can be located for the day.
Now the horse has been tried and found true in
other institutions, and it strikes me that an opportunity
to be picturesque, versatile, and everything else worth
while will be lost forever if we do not act now. What
broad-minded individual would not be glad to see a
straw-hatted horse displace the present "lantern-slung"
Ford?
Besides, the horse is a very noble animal, as
brought out once, in a grammar school essay. No doubt
he possesses the very uplifting: qualities this University
has been wanting, without being aware of that want

Dear Editor:
In recent columns of the Soap Box a
questions have been raised concerning conduct of the
has been said in regard to the same procedure among
the fairer sex. Lack of cut-throat rushing, no unbroken
rules, and the fact that competition formerly existing
among the co-eds has subdued, are perhaps the main
factors responsible for this. What ever the reason, many
people think Pan Hellenic rules are more rigidly en
forced. Present rushing rules are adhered to by sororities
because they are afraid to break them. However, some
rules do not seem to effect the general outcome in the'l5. The Husker backfield has an
least and some rules that would change the whole tone average weight of 178 pounds and
of the sorority problem are left unmade. jthe Orange backfield averages 167.
For example one rule states that no man ma j take J Brown Out of Scrimmage

STUDENT AUTOMOBILES
Regulation of automobile ownership for students
has aroused considerable discussion in universities and
colleges, and has resulted in the banning of student
cars on several campuses. At the other extreme is the
mid-western university which provides traffic officers
to direct and straighten out traffic jams caused by
campus automobiles.
The problem seems to have been somewhat exag
gerated and undue excitement has been caused by a
few persons who are bitterly opposed to the idea of
students having cars while attending college. These
few who started the opposition are probably men who
have grown old both physically and mentally and can
not afford or do not own cars themselves, so that they
delight in attempting to force young students to their
opinion.
Wasted time has been offered as one of the main
arguments against student ownership of automobiles.
It has been proved in many institutions by students
who own cars that they save time in getting to classes
and other places and so they have more time left for
other things. In this way more is accomplished than as
if the student had to waste time walking every place.
Another point which has been stressed in the ar
gument against cars is that they are undemocratic on
a campus and cause bitter feelings to form different
levels of society. If a campus population is shallow
enough to judge its individual members by their wealth
or cars then it would find some other way to form
classes even if cars were prohibited. If a student wishes
to have a car at college it should be a personal ques
tion and not one to be decided by the administration.
