The plan was instituted at Harvard university some time ago, and has since been used in MW rollee-es. Students who have had exper ience with the system voice their approval, and advo cate the idea. Simply stated, the plan is to allow a student to attend any class discussion or lecture' that he may care to Many times a student may want to attend some particular lecture because of the bearing it may have on his work, or because he is interested in the subject to be discussed. The undergraduate's course is usually planned lor him in advance, especially if he is following some spe cific branch of study in which there are many courses offered. The requirements are numerous and the elec tees few. The average student has little opportunity to branch out into a course that he may desire to take. But with "student vagabonding" he is enabled to at tend lectures or discussions in which he is most inter ested and from which he thinks he will derive the most benefit. In most schools where the system of "vagabond ing" has been used, a schedule of worth while lectures of the day is printed in the college publication. The ,nn-r nlncp. snbiect. and lecturer are listed. This en ables the student to choose some particular lecture from a t -oup. Not all lectures are listed, only those in which the students are likely to be interested. Lecture courses do not occupy so large a part in the school work at the Urliversity of Nebraska as at some other schools. There are, nevertheless, several courses that are based upon the lecture system. Such a practice as "vagabonding" would doubt lessly have an affect upon the lectures also. Some of them now seem to think that since the students must attend, the subject matter may be made dry and un interesting. But with other students in attendance, those who have chosen to attend and are not there for the credit hours connected with the course, the speaker would do his bpst. to improve his lectures and make them more interesting. "Vagabonding" has been used with success at Harvard, New York university, Cornell, Smith, and other colleges. Such a system at the University of Ne braska would be welcomed by the students. It cer tainly wou'.d not be inconsistent with the ideal3 of the University in endeavoring to assist the students in their search for knowledge and culture. could be told in a few moments than could be done in many years. But the humor in the rigidness of the college rules softens the contours of controversy. No student appreciates a Palais' do Justice where rules are the provoking apple of one's eye. Should one think in terms of myths the undulled perception of a life, without stringent regulations one- would picture the inauguration of a new era where more work would be tempered with less play, because the doing would be voluntary. Imps are corked up in only a fraction of humanity. Those who comply with the "dos" and "don'ts" would undoubtedly set the same pace without "rules governing organizations and social functions." And yet, on the other hand, the restrictions undoubted ly set the mind of many a parent at rest. But without the rules there would be no rebellion. Even the tenth line in the "Writer's Ten Com mandments" reads "Rules are harmful to genius no rule should be a master."

LEISURE In his "Theory of the Leisure Class," Professor Veblen has shown how the traditions of a leisure class may influence the minds and tastes of a people. Ac cording to this hypothesis, the manner in which a na tion employs its leisure time should fur'sh a fairly reliable index of its attitude towards i. work. And it is undoubtedly true that even an individual's work habits may be gauged by his play habits. Here in America we pursue what leisure we have with frightful vehemence. The rapidly grinding wheels of our high-geared industrial organizations seem to carry their influence over into every phase of our life. The golf and bridge of many business men are duties, forced pleasures through which they seek a routine relaxation. Enterprising book publishers amass consid erable wealth by advertising condensed store houses of knowledge which will turn our leisure time to good ac count by making us wits, poets, cartoonists, or master linguists almost over night. Time is not given a chance to hang heavy on American hands. The fondest memories of most jleople center around carefree hours spent in meandering, whimsical conversation or moments of solitude before the glowing embers of an open fireplace. Yet this type of idleness seems to De last becoming a sin. Surely it is a pity to lose the faculty of being idle for its own sake, to make a business of pleasure and budget our recreation, for leisure which lacks the fine flavor of spontaneity is not true leisure.

State THE CONTROL OF WOMEN Perhaps the restrictions over women were more rigid during Biblical and Puritanical days, but the con trol during the present collegiate day would certainly take an ace high position if a Hall .of Fame were insti tuted for information on "The Control of Women." As there are schools and more schools, so are there rules and more rules: 1. Stanford University, due to revisions this past week, now possesses the most liberal rules in the country. Their sophomore, junior and senior women may have 1:30 leave on Friday and Saturday nights. Chaperones are no longer required to be present when women visit men's houses, provided there at least two women present. 2. The University of California allows 2 o'clock leave. 3. Idaho enforces a 9:45 lockout rule. 4. Florida State College requires a party of ten for hikes. 5. Bryn Mawr permits smoking under certain con ditions. 6. Louisiana State and University of Texas have 11 o'clock week night deadline. 7. Cornell requires sophmoore and freshmen wom en to be in by 8 o'clock. Women students forge ah,fid in their development as well as men. They will be good without the wings of an angel, and then they will be bad without the fork of the devil. Every human knows that more good WHO'S TO BLAME? A recent survey at the University of Kansas, made in an attempt to discover reasons for certain courses being boresome or valueless, brought out the fact that it is not merely the students who are to blame. Certain objections were made to the professors themselves. Among these were: that the instructor did not know how to get his material over to others, that he did not organize his subject, that his personality was distaste ful, and that he was too theoretical. Now, it is quite well recognized that many of the best authorities are men who cannot lecture; but it also is true, as was recently pointed out by one of the Bull Session splashers, that there are numbers of men who have a general scope of a subject, and can present it in such a way as to get the elements over. In regard to organized material, it seems that anyone who sets himself up as a college professor should have learned to put his subject in order. But this is often not the case. As a result, students listening to his lectures don't know just where he is headed. He may have a very potent point to bring out, but if he doesn't bring it out what good is it? ' Professors might do well to look in upon them selves once in a while when they find that a heavy percentage of their students are flunking or getting ex ceedingly low grades. Some are proud of these low grades, but they should see the marks as a reflection of their own as well as the students' work. Some teach ers would be very much surprised to find that the members of their classes give them a low grade. The trouble is that instructors too often fail to apply the same criteria to themselves and their courses that they apply to the work of the pvpils. It might be interesting to see what students think of specific professors and classes. We prophesy that the ones ranking highest would be the professors who deal w,th their students as individuals, not s mirrors reflecting the words of a lecture back upon a blue book. Stanford Daily.

Haney Discusses Need of Airport (Continued from Page 1) He stated briefly that if Lincoln is to meet the business competition of other industrial centers it is im perative to have adequate and up-to-date transportation facilities.
