Another item to relieve the parking situation is the clearing of the corner north of Bessey Hall. This vast amount of space which will eventually be utilized by the University as the Memorial Mall, could also be converted into a student parking campus. It will be some time before definite action will be taken to de velop the bare space on this corner of the campus and as officials are awaiting for their plans to materialize, why not use this for an answer to the parking situation.

In fact Lincoln could have a direct speed-way running down R street in front of the campus and another one running down 16th street on fraternity row! If this is the aim of the city officials why not start immediately to utilize all the available space on the campus for re lieving the parking problem? J. E.

E. in the Soap self-reliance in thought, they would do well to leave the . Box as a possible solution to the parking problem. He points out that either the present Hrill field or the space being cleared north of Bessey Hall and Morrill Hall could be used for this purpose. This would clear the streets of the congestion caused by the present inade quate parking facilities. The proposal to convert the drill field into a space for parking seems at first a foolish one. If it would necessitate a removal of the R. O. T. C. parade grounds to a less suitable spot merely for the convenience of those students driving cars to school, the idea would rot be worth considering. But the erection of Andrews Hall has made the sacred portals of learning and find out what their brethren (and sisters) in the banks and industrial of fices are thinking about, outside of office hours. The universities still provide a refuge for dream ers. Many of the students in any modern university come from rich or protected homes. They have had little or no experience with real life, although they may have seen it and attempted to engage in it. Still others have come to college from poorer homes, but proudly bearing the record of a brilliant scholastic career. Their brilliancy has caused their par ents to make magnificent sacrifices on their behalf; (Continued from Page 1) CHARLES E. HUGHES him upon his career with gentle man ners and an excellent; education. That peculiar earnestness that later be came one of his distinguishing char acteristics showed itself in his earl iest years. He applied himself to his studies in the public schools of Oswe go, Newark and New York, won his Phi Beta Kappa as a junior at Brown University, and was graduated in 1881, at the age of 19, with honors in classics. His qualities won him one of the two Carpenter premiums awarded to the two members of the graduating class who "shall, in the judgment of the faculty, unite in the highest degree the three most impor tant elements for success in life ability, character and attainment." Mr. Hughes, it was evident from the beginning, possessed these at tributes in high degree. He was later to have an opportunity, vouchsafed sacrifices always heroic, but sometimes rather unwise, present site a less desirable one for military drill. And aiming at keeping the "smart" one unspotted from the the building plans stipulate that the next building will world by sheltering him from the world, nrobablv be nlaced south of Bessey Hall. It will then When these students, after the awful erind of be necessary for the military department to find an- the first year, begin to dip into the real arts and scien- perhaps to few men, to put them to WaHnn fnr their Hrill field. The SDace between res taup-ht hv trie univprsitv. and tn mix with a verviPUDllc use ln SUcn manner as to heterogenous group, they form strange and peculiar opinions. They are torn with mental conflict, they seek a solution in formal and informal discussion, but house after house of dreams falls to the ground because the the new structures and Social Sciences building would later be developed into a mall. Where would the other drill field be located? The land south of the Coliseum is being cleared and leveled in anticipation of the time when the space will be con- practical experience of life is not there as a founda- verted into the proposed Memorial Mall. But it will tion. probably, be some time before this development will Now our non-university students are intensely take place. In the meantime this space would be large practical and amazingly sensible. It would be wrong to enough and very suitable for a drill field. As long as the military department continues to use the present parade ground, it would be useless to agitate a movement to allow parking within that space. But if they should see fit to move to a larger area such as that being established south of the Coliseum, there is little reason why students should not be al lowed to park their cars in the space north of Social Sciences building at least until preparations for a mall would be under way. Students should bear in mind, however, that the difficulty of parking under the present regulations is not the most important reason for the numerous com plaints against the recent rulings. It is. rather, that the present traffic regulaions are encouraging, rather than discouraging, city traffic on streets adjacent to marry into another race? the campus. This increases the noise, confusion, and danger to student pedestrians that the University has been striving to avoid. say that they are not idealists, but they prefer to see their ideals translated into terms of everyday life. Over last week-end several university students led "discussion" groups composed of non-university stu dents, and they found that an exchange of university student thought, and non-university etudent thought was one of he most beneficial things possible for both concerned. We students from the university sally forth with the theme "Ideal Life", elaborated into a thousand words in our pockets. And we get the question in re turn, "Just what is meant by the commandment, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself?" We might discourse eloquently before them on the brotherhood of man and the foolishness of racial differences, and they ask, "Is it right for a man to and, what's more, they con- bring him fame and fortune. CoTern or of N. Y. Mr. Hughes was elected Governor, receiving a plurality of 57,897 votes over William R. Hearst, Independent. On Jan. 1, 1907, he assumed public office for the firs I time. Theodore Roosevelt was President. Robert M. La Follette was Senator from Wis consin. The political pendulum had swung to the side of reform. The times were Progressive. There was a vast passion for surbing monopolies, breaking up trusts, regulating public utilities and otherwise remolding the world nearer to the liberals' de sire. The end of his first term aa Gov ernor found Mr. Hughes with his re forming zeal undiminished. He was renominated and re-elected. But he had already become unpopular with the politicians. His relations with the Republican organization in New York State were anything but happy. He rode into office for the second time on the issue of race-track gambling. He was still ihe idol of the Pro gressives a term not to become politically current until 1,912, but which describes the kind of person Mr. Hughes was while Governor of New York. ' With the rank, and file of Republican politicians, Mr. Hughes not at ease, nor did he evoke in them that sentiment of loyalty usually so accessible to men In high office. On Supreme Bench In 1910 President Taft appointed Mr. Hughes an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. He resigned as Governor. and although his resignation oc curred late in his second term, cha grin was expressed among his lib eral supporters that he should have seen fit to leave the State. From Oct. 10, 1910 to June 10, 1916. Mr. Hughes remained in the august seclusion of the Supreme Court, politically dormant He had not been involved in the Republican conflicts of 1912, and thus became the obvious candidate to oppose Woodrow Wilson in 1916. As senti ment for his nomination increased, he took no cognizance of it nor did he commit any overt act which would indicate his intention. If rumor penetrated the red velvet hangings of the Supreme Court and reached the ears of Mr. Hughes, he gave no sign. On June 10, 1916 he was nom inated for President of the United States on the Republican ticket. The election day of Nov. 7, 1916, passed. Late that evening, although the re turns were not all reported, Mr. Hughes went to bed in the tri umphant belief that he had been elec ted. His secretaries informed poli ticians who came to congratulate him that "the Preddent-elect has re tired." The final returns showed 277 elec toral votes for Woodrow Wilson and 254 for Charles i. Hughes.

ANOTHER VARSITY DANCE A novel experiment is being attempted by the Varsity Dance Committee in holding their next party in the Student Activities building at the Agricultural campus. This is the first time that the Varsity dances have been given in a building away from the city campus. Unable to book a party in the Coliseum until next month, the committee was forced to look for another place that would be suitable for such a party and yet be in accordance with the policy of holding Varsity dances in university buildings. The Student Activities building was thus selected as the location for the dance to be given March 24. The one disadvantage to the change is that the distance will probably keep many away who would otherwise attend. On the other hand, those who believe that the Coliseum is too large a building in which to stage a succesnf ul party will approve of the change. Whether or not the new location will meet gen eral approval is a question. At any rate, we welcome th r"fl nf the committee from their period of in activity during the formal eeason. sider the possible practical consequences with a depth of thought unexcelled by any group of university students. If we are admirers of Christ as a perfect man, and j we talk to them about l.vmg the life of Jesus, they ask us, "Should I lose my position in an indusvrial com pany by bearing with the manifestly unchristian tenets of that business?" It is for that practical turn of mind that we admire non-university students. We would like to tell them that they are attending a university of their own crea tion; a university superior in many ways to our own. They learn their courses as we learn ours, and they base their thoughts on a foundation which is sometimes more solid than ours. And although we know that there arc plenty of young people who are not taking heed of that univer sity of life, being intent on nothing but a shallow un progressive sort of "good time," we munt turn our eyes towards our own university, and we shall see, to our shame, that many students who take lectures here are not one bit better, nor are they deriving any ap preciable benefit from privileges often secured for them by others.

Since Mr. Baer has so kindly taken the parking problem out of the University's hands and restricted parking to only half the amount it should be, students around the Nebrpska campus are looking for sky hooks to jut their cars uu they have even pone so far as to get tip an hour earlier in the morning in order to get a place to park their cars.

He is to college as the small brother it to the amorous boy friend of his sister's. He has as much busi ness in college as a Jewish clothier in Afaghanstan. The species is easily recognized by its gaudy col oring, which, biology texts inform us, is a warning to students who might come into contact with it. Because of its slothful nature, the insect is found ir. large quantities in or around food and drink dis pensaries, where soft woods furnish material for the art of carving, and soft drinks are stigma for the artful spinning of risque yarns. It never is a descendent of poverty-stricken ancestors, since it would be incapable of existing on the fruits of its own labors, which are more scarce than Cairo dancing girls in the Arctic Circle. College parasites, when they first drift onto the campus, think the Pan-Hellenic is an organization which pans Helen, and when they leave they boast that they are smart enough to know that, just because the lights are out, is no reason to believe she's not at home. The college parasite preys upon fellow students for everything they can be "done" for; he wastes not only his own time, but that of everyone with whom he comes in contact; he holds up classes with silly prattle In an effort to kid the teacher into believing he is interested in the work. He takes everything and leaves nothing in return A text book, the parasites believe, is something "A" students put their noses in. Pencil, they think, are for drawing crude pictures and childish notes. Profes sors are funny, absent-minded beings, and classes are for brief respites from strenuous fun hunts, in Jiie minds of the purblind and moronic subjects of this discission. They think girls are funny if they choose to spend an open night with their lessons rather than waste it in the company of an individual whose appar ent inebriation is an hmatge. One or two changes in a verse from the pen of Omar Khayytm, the prophet, characterizes the college parasite: Into this school and why, not knowing, He comes, like water willy-nilly flowing, And out again as wind along the waste, He knows not whither, willy-nilly blowing.
