Business Manager Circulation Manager Circulation Manager ON TRIAL Approximately 2260 high school players will be participating in the eighteenth annual interscrolastic basketball tournament to be held here Thursday, Fri day, and Saturday. The majority of these students will arrive in Lincoln tomorrow. Some of them will remain until Sunday. Thus, for a period of at least four days, a great number of high school students will be receiving impressions of the University and of University life. For many of them the tournament is the only op portunity that they have for visiting the University of Nebraska. Their ideas concerning campus life and higher education are influenced greatly by Jhe treat ment that they receive during that period. And during the next four days many seniors are going to become either enthused with the idea of coming to Nebraska or prejudiced against the school. It is thu duty, then, of the student body and fac ulty members to see that these guests receive a favor able impression of the University. Every opportunity for acquainting them with the various departments and activities of the school should be taken. It may take a little extra time to answer the numerous questions that these boys are going to ask, but a courteous reply from the college student will do more to "sell" the Univer sity than a score of booklets on the subject Somehow it doesn't seem so smooth to say "Let's go down to the Davis Coffee Shop" as it did to mention the Silver Moon. many men in the public eye who do not possess the precious parchment of the college graduate, because they did not have the opportunity of attending one of our. so-called institutions of higher learning, who it is thought would have been even greater if they had at tended a college like McGill. However almost ignored is the successful man who failed in college, for instance the idol of modern American youth Lindbergh. Lindbergh it is said found the going hard at Uni versity of Wisconsin and as a result was dropped. He who later would do battle with the gales and winds of the North Atlantic successfully, could not combat .the giants of history and languages or mathematics, which ever it was he failed in. John Locke was a college delinquent. The spokes man of the parliamentarians and the greatest intellect ual influence cf his age was not a successful college undergraduate. The same might be said of Einstein who failed in more than one university in Europe yet left a marked influence in mathematical and scientific circles. But to come down to modern times, Booth Tark ington and Sinclair Lewis were both turned out of their respective universities minus hood and the magic "Admitto Te" of the college president. Yet these men are universally considered to be successes in their own field. Also America's foremost dramatist, Eugene O'Neill, was dismissed from Princeton, why we don't know, but it has been described as a "minor offense". It might have been cutting chapel. Without going any further, for we could mention many household names of men who entered college as freshmen, to leave as freshmen. We would suggest that all attempts to discover the sesame of success be drop ped and as a famous politician-musician once said, suc cess is nine-tenths perspiration, one-tenth inspiration.

While Nebraska was negotiating with Syracuse to have their 1928 football game played on the Husker gridiron instead of at Syracuse, considerable comment was made in the eastern papers. After explaining the situation, one of the writers stated the following: "If Syracuse agrees it will have three road trips on successive Saturdays for it plays Penn State and Pittsburgh on the week-ends following the Nebraska date. But that should not stand in the way of granting the Nebraska request. If put to a vote of the players, coaches and others who were fortunate enough to get a sample of Cornhusker hospitality last year, the prop osition would b carried unarnrfusJy. NbrVa is a rival worthy of the consideration it asks. We are sure the Cornhuskers would do for Syracuse what they are asking Syracuse to do for them." The reference made in the article was to the rousing reception given the Syracuse players the night before and during the game last fall. Such sentiment is a tribute to Husker spirit. Courtesy pays! In Other Columns CONDEMNATION BY PROXY A French wit took it upon himself not long ago to characterize the men of various nations of the earth Sparing of words, daring in his insinuations, he makes a thrust at the German nursery for genius and indo lence, the beer garden, and points an accusing finger at the American as the Parisians see him, staggering around the Montmartre. "One German a pig," he says; "Two Germans two mugs of beer," "three Ger mans a ar. The lankee fares no better "One American one drunk;" "two Americans two drunk,' three Americans prohibition." The German and the American appear to have tied in the opinion of French judges for the honor of a well-filled loving cW But who are the admirable inebriates who have taken upon themselves the high function of representing the United States in such a tourney? A single class has usurped this office, a select group of those well-fitted for such a contest long before the 18th Amendment made a distinction of alcoholic distemper. Winter practice is held abroad for those who can afford it; summer practice is held in hospitable Canadian cities. Home workouts in less convivial sur roundings are offered for those subject to nostalgia or sea-sickness. The Frenchman forms his ideas of the American from the affluent tourists who rush down the gang-plank of an ocean liner and into the first wine shop that presents itself along the street. They are like the blind Mien of the fable who feeling the elephant's trunk, described him as a snake, but in this, like all men, they are only unconsciously relying upon what their senses have revealed to them. The American college is poorly represented by a small minority of students w!n have set about to ac quire proficiency in the art cf befuddlement. The true character of an institution should be well-known in its immediate environment, but the minority has a way of making itself look like a majority by its very noise. It is not improbable then that some cynical American may remark: One student one "drunk;" two student two "drunks;" three "drunks" a university. Min nesota Daily.

Cooper Favors More Outlawry Opinions (Continued from Page 1) this university also spoke on the viewpoints of their respective coun tries on the outlawry of war ques tion. Anatole Mozer, . '29, whose home is in Russia, in presenting the Soviet plan, emphasized the tendency of people to ridicule this proposal at first and the gradual accepttance of it as it has become more and more widely known. "The Russian plan for outlawry of war calls for complete disarmament," stated Mr. Mozer. "It is in this re spect that it differs from other plans which call for gradual disarmament, with special emphasis on security." He then brought out the Russian at titude toward the Versailles treaty and the injustices that have worked out of that settlement which will mitigate against peace plans or pro posals for outlawry of war. Henry A. Benedetto, '29, Lincoln, who is of Italian lineage, presented the Italian or Fascist viewpoint as expressed by Mussolini. The latter, he said, will not tolerate any inter ference witth the affairs of Italy whether internal or international and because of this, Italy constitutes one of the greatest barriers in the way for international peace. A prolonged discussion followed in which Colonel F. F. Jewett, Dr. Lau ra B. Pfeiffer, Professor James Cuneo, and a number of the students who were present took an active part The plans of Laurence Dur isch and Lester Schoene were also discussed further at this time.
