Saturday, Nebraska boosters will have the chance to see their football team play the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan, in the last Missouri Valley game on the University's schedule this season. The comparatively short distance to Manhattan has made possible plans for a special train to be run to accomodate all those anxious to help back the Cornhuskers to victory Sat urday. A large number of students are expected to make the trip, the majority probably going by the special train, which leaves Saturday morning, and re turns the same night. Often certain unpleasant events happen when a large group of people travel together, and especially when that group is bound for a university football game. There is no reason why it should not be a trip which provides a really good time for everyone. If a few among the group, however, decide to make themselves obnoxious, the results are bound to be unpleasant, perhaps widely aired, and will reflect to the discredit of the University, regardless of the weii-intentionea majority. If the students making the trip Saturday are even ordinarily careful of their conduct, all wiil he well. They will not be required to give an account of their actions. Students will be on their own. It is up to them whether or not unpleasant and unnecessary inci dents are reduced to the minimum. Men and women of the University of Nebraska will have a chance to show their dependability and character Saturday, both during the trip, and at the game. It is sincerely hoped that the impression made by those going to Manhattan will be one which will reflect well on University men and women, and on th" University itself. MORE LIGHT ON CO-EDUCATION A contributor to the Soap Box in Sunday's Ne braskan took a new slant on co-education in attacking a letter on the subject published a few days earlier. II. P. contended that the only justification for co-education is that it is less expensive to educate both men and women in one institution than in separate ones. Co-education is one of the outstanding character istics of our western system of higher education. Whether it developed due to the democratic ideals of the pioneers or due to its being less expensive is a sub ject which would require serious thought before reach ing a decision. To say that its being less expensive is the sole justification for the system, however, as N. P. states in Sunday's paper, is another thing entirely. Although the advantage or disadvantage of co-education is still a moot question in many quarters, there are numerous other reasons which may be assigned as justifying co ediucation in our state universities. D. N. pointed out some of the most significant of these in the Soap Box contribution criticized by N. P. She pointed out that men and women educated in separate colleges do not know and understand each other because thoy are segregated for four years. She pointed out that while universities are primarily edu cational institutions, that when they co-educational, students through their contacts with one another are being helped along the road of understanding each other so that they will be better prepared to meet life's situations. A similar expression was published recently in Harper's. The gist of the article was that the girl edu cated in a girl's school lost her contacts with men dur ing four important years of her life, cultivated only friendships with girls, and as a result came out of col lege without the free and natural contacts conducive to understanding men and without the interest and understanding which makes for harmonious life in the outer world. Granted that there are attending disadvantages to the co-educational system, the facts mentioned by D. N. and the article from Harper's furnish other reasons Justifying co-educational institutions aside from the expense standpoint advanced by N. P. as the sole justi fication for co-educationa! schools. Universities are not established for that purpose alone as both D. N. and N. P. pointed out. But if they can accomplish that purpose while broadening the men tal horizon of students, our universities can be sig nificant factors in the development of a better balanced citizenry. It is particularly fitting that the state uni versity, supported by all the people, to educate the ablest in the state, should furnish its students with opportunities for development in the line of human understanding and human relationships as weO' as purely professional, technical, aesthetic, or mental training. ARTIST FOLLY There was once a man who propounded an aphor ism about Opportunity knocking at somebody's door Bomewhere. He was the man who is responsible for all the odious mannerisms of Big Business? But no; let us not charge the poor fellow with all the worst evils. Perhaps he was right, in some respects, and if we allow ourselves to forget for a moment the sordid implications of the Opportunity gag, we may admit the aphorism to our attention. For it happens that one of these golden opportun ities is coming this way next week, in the form of the western convention of the American Federation of Arts. Blumenschein, Sandzen, Jacobson, Harshe, Tack these are some of the artists who will be in Lincoln next week to impart wisdom to all who will listen. It is a sad fact, it must be admitted, that those names for the most part, will fall on uncomprehending ears; be cause, alas! they are not the Four Horsemen, they are not movie stars, they are not trans-Atlantic fliers, they are not 100-yard dash flashes, but only a group of foolish artists, who spend their time painting pictures that are not worth anything inpractical life. The Daily Nebraskan hopes that students will take advantage of the priceless opportunity to hear these artists and see their work, even though it is such a different opportunity from that ordinarily seized by students. 80x111?

Crabbing Tho Olympica To the Editor: In the early part of this semester, and in the early part of every school year, there were special convo cations of Freshmen, to attend which they were ex cused from classes. That was to orient them and de velop class spirit. Iron Sphinx, Sophomore honor so ciety, later decreed that every man in the Freshman class would be required to wear a green cap to create class spirit. Green Goblins has been upheld and main tained primarily to strengthen class spirit among Freshmen. From the attitude of upperclassmen, we are led to believe that a strong class spirit is consistently main tained by all other classes in the University. The atti tude of Iron Sphinx would lead us to conclude that the Sophomore class is particularly strong in class spirit. Every year an event, known as the Olympics, is held to test the degree with which the Freshmen have taken to heart the admonitions of upperclassmen and developed that, much to be desired class spirit Fresh men are urged to be loyal to the class and turn out en masse to uphold the honor of their class in this event Last Saturday afternoon the Olympics were held. A large group of Freshmen were present to rush the pole, this event is the most important of the Olympics. It is one in which all may participate. There were nine Sophomores who had sufficient class spirit to come out and defend the honor of their class. Why should a group which demonstrates this sort of class spirit be priv ileged to teach the incoming Freahmpn the very thing in which they are so notoriously weak? N. P. Y LAUGH To the Editor: If you read in the Sunday Nebraskan the account of the fiftieth anniversary celebration of the student Y. M. C. A., you probably had occasion for several hearty laughs and perhaps a few guilty snickers. And after all, that is no more than natural, in view of the fact that for fifty years the Y. M. C. A. has been the cause of quiet laughter, surreptitious or otherwise. One of the sentences most highly provocative of laughter was this: "Experimentation was urged to find methods to solve the issues arising out of changing standards of marriage and relations of men and worn en " But we shall stop with that only long enough to advise the Y. M. C. A. to steer clear and wide of experimentation along these lines. Better men than they have tried it, and have failed; witness the unfor tunate experience of Rabbi Lewis Browne of New York who two weeks ago preached free love to the teachers' convention here. No; it simply will not do. The Y. M C. A. should avoid these combustible subjects, else it put itself in the dangerous position in which our own Christian association found itself last year after the unhappy success of University Night. But as has been said, we shall not deal with this delicate subject. The important feature of the account is this: "The National Council of Student Associations also advocated a measure to counteract the growing materialism and realism of the colleges. The greatest need, it declared, is a restatement of religious truth in terms compatible with the best knowledge and the most scrupulous intellectual honesty." All of which, of course, is very noble and gloriously elevating, but un fortunately the Utopian dream of some inspired poet or something. After fifty years it should be obvious to the Y. M. C. A. that religion can not be crammed down the throats of youth by hand-shaking and back- slapping, even when wiener roahts and barbecues are thrown in for good measure. For a time, perhaps, stu dents are led to believe that this curious combination of Cornhusker spirit and Christianity is the absolute and true spiritual life, but most of them are jarred out of this illusion before their academic career is ended. It is a significant fact that the Freshman Coun cil is full of ambitious young thinkers, while junior and senior members are conspicuous, as the old saw it, by their absence. Yet we should not allow ourselves to be too serious about it We .Americans are strange and inexplicable in our make-up. Wa see the tragic and imcomparably stupid antics of the mayor of Chicago, and instead of weeping or crying out we laugh. And so it is in this matter of the Y. M. C. A. and its fifty years of empiric wisdom; instead of bawling invectives, we ease back in our chairs and laugh to the skies. . Y Not Notices Tuesday.
