that the streets adjacent to the University should be
governed by parking regulations favorable to the
school. We do not believe that it is unreasonable1 to ask
that the city traffic be discouraged from using such
streets. Hospitals, public schools, and certain boule
vards have special restrictions which are unfavorable
to the general traffic. Surely an "institution the size of
the University should be granted similar privileges.

WHERE HONOR IS DUE
The names of students who maintained 90 percent
averages the first semester are being published today
by The Daily Nebraskan.
The significance of such an average is rarely ap
preciated by either University students in general or
the general public. Students are in most courses taking I
work that is new to them. High grades have never'
been the policy of the institution. To maintain a 90
percent grade means no small amount of application
or inherent capacity on the part of the student or both.
Maintaining such an average for all courses in
which a student is enrolled is highly significant. It
means that the student is handling all phases, both
those in which he is interested and those in which he
is not, well above the average.
It is true that grades are not a perfect indication
either of aplication or ability. Some students are able
to secure better grades than they deserve. Some stu
dents have not time due to necessary outside work
to make the scholastic records of which they would
otherwise be capable. But grades are no more faulty
in this respect than any other medium mankind pos
sesses of estimating work.
A list of 90 percent students on the whole indi
cates that one has a group with greater inherent ability
or greater persistency in handling scholastic assign
ments. It is a list which deserves recognition as an
honor list as well as those who make their mark in
University activitier.
Students achieving honors in activities have long
been honored by the glamor of publicity. It is only
fitting that those who have achieved in a less spectac
ular but fully as significant a field should receive their
meed of praise for honors won.
The list is also significant from another angle.
A roll of almost one hundred fifty students who main
tained an average for all their subjects on such a
plane is a most convincing demonstration that all
student life is not the giddy whirl in which it is gen
erally characterized by moving pictures, romantic fic
tion writers, and V e sensational public press.
DO CLOTHES MAKE THE THEME?
The Radcliff Daily recalls an old fashioned doctor
who always prescribed a new suit of clothes along with
each dose of medicine, and then adds:
When a person is despondent or hurrying to write
those two themes due tomorrow, the tendency is to
rush away without wearing that new dress you were
going to wear, or that hat you have just had cleaned.
It will not matter around school here.
It does matter immeasurably. Your mental atti
tude depends a great deal on your personal appearance;
as you feel self-possessed or apologetic, and as you
feel sloppy and scatter-brained or neat and methodical,
that theme you are writing will take on a different
appearance.

We suggest that the City Council hold their next
meeting in a University classroom close to R street.
WITH EYES THAT SEE NOT
"I myself have driven over the two streets a num
ber of times at peak traffic periods and it has seemed
to me that the present arrangement has met all re
quirements more satisfactorily than under angular
parking," stated Mayor Hedge, commenting on the
parking question.
The only criticism that can be made of Mayor
Hedge's statement is that he omitted the phrase "of
the City Council" after the word "requirements". And
such a phrase is necessary in order to understand the
manner in which the University parking situation is
being handled by the city authorities.
For the real reason why the Council cannot estab
lish a set of parking regulations which are satisfactory
to the University is that they refuse to regard the
parking situation from the University point of view.
It is no wonder that the present regulations are
satisfactory to the Mayor. They are equally pleasing
to the majority of truck drivers and teamsters of the
city. For the present rules demand that nearly the
entire width of R street be reserved for traffic at all
times. City traffic has discovered that it is foolish to
struggle through the downtown streets when it can
move along R street at a comparatively rapid rate of
speed. We admit that it is fine for the people of Lin
coln. But what about the University?
The University desires regulations that will elim
inate as much noise and disturbance as possible. Many
of the classrooms are close to the streets and the
disturbance from traffic 1 distracting. Safety to those
walking to and from classes and convenience in parking
are other things to be kept in mind when formulating
university parking regulations.
We do not believe that it 2s unreasonable to ask
COLLEGIATES
The Marquette Tribune, fully aware that college
students are not the most serious minded group in
America, is, however, rather tired of having this accusa
tion thrust upon the undergraduates, and comments:
Why recreate with a mien indicative of the last
march to the gallows? The world ought to be thankful
that it has its frivolous college students to set an ex
ample of freedom from care-ridden daily grinds for it.
Why kill the college spirit? Business-weary Amer
ica needs it.

A freshman was watching a movie down at the
Neptune. In the film the hero and the villain became
engaged in a terrific struggle. By chance, after much
scuffling, the hero accidentally got his throat caught
between the villain's hands. Like a vice the huge brute
slowly choked our hero until his eyes bulged from their
sockets. His tongue protruded in a melodramatic man
ner. Beads of glycerine broke forth on his brow.
Suddenly the excited frosh had an idea as he
gazed at the horrible scene. "By gosh! That reminds
me," he said to himself; "I've got to wear my R. O.
T. C. suit tomorrow." University of Washington Daily.

APPLESAUCE
A great deal has been said about the value of
"working one's way" as training for college students.
The boy who works long hours and many of them to
earn money enough to pay his way through school,
often hears his work commended as being a valuable
part of his education, and many a kindly pat on the
shoulder is given him with the assurance, that while
he "may have to work, his education will mean more
to him because of it." All of which, in our humble
opinion, is an antiquated notion which ought to be dis
pelled, and the sooner the better.
Attendance at a liberal arts college ought to be
taken just as seriously as attendance at a medical school
or school of law, where it is a well-known fact that
students seldom have any extra time to devote to work
ing their way through school, if they are to get the
full benefit of their college training. Even while the
liberal arts course is not as exacting as the others, it
can very profitably bo made a twenty-four hour. a day
job if the student gives his stadies, his social obligations
and his athletic and "outside" activities the attention
they deserve.
For those who point out that working students
often get the best grades, we can only offer that they
do so in spite of their extra work, not because of it.
To say that the mere fact of working one's way through
school has any favorable bearing upon one's grades is
an absurd as to say that birth in a log cabin is one of
the essentials of election to the presidency. If we take
two students of equal mental capacity and sincerity, and
force one of them to work his way through school,
the other student will come out ahead every time.
Working one's way through school is at best a nec
essary evil. If a student puts in only a moderate
amount of time at his job it may have no apparent
affect either on his grades or the benefit he receives
from college, but if his work reaches the point where it
interferes noticeably with any phase of his true college
life, he may find too late that the time spent at his job
has been a liability rather than an asset to him.

Observance of -Lent

Toman Catholic, the Episcopal, and
Lutheran churches," he went on.
"They have given us this lenten sea
son. They have for a long time in
cluded it in their religious calendar
and now nearly all other branches of
the church are adopting the observ
ance of Lent as a season of special
religious emphasis. i
"It is a great blessing this con
centration of thought upon the life
of Christ, this entering Into sympathy
with the closing days of Jesus' life,
culminating in His death and resur
rection," The pastor then pointed out how
various cities are observing the sea
son of Lent "In a commercial city
like Detroit, during this present
ycr," he said, ",he lenten season is
being observed not only by the his
tovic commuplonH that have always

loop."
Other cities such as Washington,
Cleveland, Toistio, and Boston are
having like observances, according to
Dr. Leland. Many rewFpapcrs in thor
large cities ere atao running speciul
articles written by laymen as well as
ministers. Mestages are being sent
out over the radio for the benefit tf
those who .ire unabl tj assemble in
theaters, ehurchet, and cathedral!:.
"I notice that some of the service
clubs include subjects appropriate to
Lent among their noon-day ad
dresses," he continued. "In New
York City, there will be held an Eas
ter Dawn service on the campus of
Columbia university as the culmina
tion of lenten services held in the
Palace theater nearby."
The opuning of tht International
Missionary council meeting yesterday
(Saturday, March 24) at Jerusalem
on the Mount of Olives was men
tioned by the clergyman. The ses
sions will continue through Easter
morula.
' '"This is an international 'religiour
round table,' lasting for two weeks,
or as someone has called it a 'relig
ious '.ecgue of nations,"' explained
Dr. Leland. "Here are 250 repre
sentatives from all parts of the
world, fifty-one countries in alL Not
only are there delegates from Ihe
United States and the British Domin
ions, but fully half of the represen
tation is from Asiatic countries In
dia, Chin, and Japan.
"This meeting was especially ar
ranged to meet during the lenten
season. It is presided over by our
own John R. Mott. There are thirty
five Americans there, Major Moton
of Tuskegee Institute is one of the
number and also Kenyon Butterfield
of Michigan Agricultural college. Of
course, important missionary prob
lems are being discussed there." ,
That Lent helps representatives at
meetings of this sort where matters
are considered in the spirit of the
season was a point emphasized by the
pastor. It is interesting to note in
passing that in this specific instance
the meeting is being held in the city
and on the very spot where Jesus
spent his last days and hours.
"Thus the lent . n is bringing
men and women of religious spirit
into fine unity and cooperation,"
concluded Dr. Leland. "It has be
come a season when there is created
each year a sympathetic atmosphere
in which the deepept thing of relig
ion may be expressed in the Spirit
of meditation and worship.
"We too often liv in an fmn.
pbere of debate and controversy
urer reugjon, nut thu season of Lent
creates a religious atmosphere to
that we are sensitive to divina things,
and are willing to think of great spir
itual facts in our individual vital re
lations to daily life and work." j
Leaders Meet
To Check Rust
(Continued from Page 1)
this plant disease destroyed 200 mil
lion bushels of wheat in the United
States and 100 million bushels in
Canada.
The stem rust fungus lives on the
barberry bush early in the spring
and from this shrub it spreads to the
grains where it inflicts its excessive
damage. The rust will live on no
other plant during this certain period
in its development, in the grain
growing states of the northwest.
Thus, by eradicating the barberry
bush the life cycle of stem rust is
broken and it cannot live to com
plete its ravages.
Losses Are Reduced
The barberry eradication project
was started in Nebraska and twelve
neighboring states in April 1918.
Since that time more than sixteen
million of these harmful buslhes,
large and small, have been extermin
ated jn the thirteen states of the
eradication area. In the meantime
the rust losses have been greatly
reduced.
Thousands of barberry bushes are
still growing in each of the states
of the barberry eradication area.
Men in charge of the work say many
years will be required to complete
the project.
Every year representatives of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C, members of the
Rust Prevention association, Minnea
polis, men in charge of the project
in each of the thirteen states, and
interested parties meet at the annual
conference to discuss problems relat
ing to the work and to adopt a pro
gram for the most efficient and ef
fective way of fighting the harmful
barberry in the future.
This is the first time the national
meeting has been held in Nebraska,
and the delegates all spoke of it as
the best conference they have ever
held. Many prominent scientists were
present. Sessions were held every
morn'ng and afternoon last week and
a banquet was held at the University
Club, Thursday night.
