THE "UNSHINED SHOES"
That the University has been negligent in the
development of the northeastern part of the campus
is the charge made by A. J. in a letter which is re
printed in the "Soap-Box". The condition of this par
ticular section in" wet weather is specifically referred
to and as a remedy to the- situation he suggests that
temporary repairs be made.
It is true that the condition of this part of the
campus has been anything but pleasant in wet weather.
But it is not the University, nor the state, nor the city
of Lincoln that is at fault for such a condition. Ac
cording to L. F. Seaton, operating superintendent of
the Universitv, the work would have been completed
hy this time had it not been for a legal controversy
over the removal of one of the residences near the
Coliseum. This problem having been solved and suffi
cient funds being available, work on the project is
now proceeding unhampered.
Considerable grading is being done at the present
time in smoothing out the- rough places between Mor
rill hall and the Coliseum in preparation for a memor
ial mall which is being planned to extend from Vine
street on the north to Morrill hall on the south, Twelfth
street on the west and Fourteenth street on the eSst.
A forty-foot permanent paving will fe laid around
the mall and cross walks will lead from the Coliseum
to the main walks in front of Bessey and Morrill halls.
It is expected that the work will be finished this
summer.
To temporarily repair the streets and walks in the
northeastern part of the campus, as suggested by A. J.,
would be utterly useless since the whole project will
be completed with a few months. If students will be
content to forego a few of the "inconveniences" at the
present time, there is no doubt but that next fall they
will be able to enjoy good sidewalks and paved streets.

other endowment fund campaign.
To the Editor:
Did you ever see a well dressed man with his
shoes unshined? No! Then did you ever see a beautiful
campus devoid of well kept streets?
Referring specifically to the northeastern division
of the campus, the streets lying in that part are a
reflection not only to the policy of the University but
to the city and to the state. In wet weather these
streets have become almost impassible, not only, to
automobile traffic but to pedestrians as well.
Of course the improving plan of the University
will supplement winding walks for several of these
thorofares and will do away with some of the paving.
Until the time that this is done, however, it is obvious
that some repair is needed.
Repair on the streets in the newer part of the
campus would not necessarily be permanent, perhaps
just some temporary surfacing would do well. With
the amount of traffic that streets in this part' of the
campus see, then is it not right that a slight additional
effort should be exerted to keep them in condition?

Social Calendar
THE PERSON NOBODY KNOWS
Employers check up on their employees.
Professors check up on their students.
Mothers and fathers check up on their children.
But how many of us check up on our own selves?
How many of us are willing to picture truth of self
in the same category with truth of tongue? Is it a
question of bravery or cowardice? With many the bad
will overbalance the good. But if this check-up is made
the bad may wax into all that is good and fine.
A journalism instructor with vision and foresight,
presented qualities for puch a check-up. Each student
received five gradings on each quality from five reliable
associates. The grading was based upon the following
. points:
Health, appearance, observation, concentration,
memory, imagination, reasoning, general knowledge,
business knowledge, ability to express yourself, ambi
tion, confidence, loyalty, enthusiasm, cheerfulness, re
liability, energy, resistance, initiative, self control.
They were selected from an article "How to Get
the Job You Want." A personal interest in the welfare
of his students probably urged this professor to lend
a helping hand before their entrance into the various
fields of work.
If we were willing to diagnose self, figuratively
of course, would not we be the victors in the long run?
Many weak attempts at character analysis are mere
hodge-podge ploddings that end up as veritable "un
finished symphonies" merely because the youths are
unwilling to puncture their distorted ideas of self.
Each student is an Alpha Beta Gamma checking
agency with whom proper functioning will result, after
an investigation of qualities, into the practise of rem
edying nelf through what Galsworthy terms "know-ingness".

"Love is a case of temporary insanity," stated a

FRATERNALHOOD
We have a Danish friend newly come to America.
He is a very fine chap with the best of good manners.
But, somehow, we looked down on him for being
a foreigner; coming as he did from another country
we reasoned he must be our inferior.
Then one day we were talking with him of Danish
history and had a rude awakening. Was it not some
Danish and Northern vikings who settled in Normandy
and came over to England with WTilliam the Conqueror?
Were we not then distant descendants of these men1.'
Did not some of the virile viking blood of my Danish
friend pound tumultuously in our veins, too, at times?
We began to see things a bit more clearly.
Pushing our icoclastic inquiry we asked ourselves
a few more questions. Was it not Spain who raised the
first flag over our soil and first started civilization?
Were not the Dutch, the Portugese, and the French
in the vanguard of our civilization? Did we not draw
our culture from the West? Did we not turn to the East
for our soul? Had we not drawn on the world at large
for our refining process?
Then it was that we realized, most fully, that we
were one big family. It was true the world was a small
place after all. Yes, we were one large family, whose
children's children had split into individual family
groups but still, withal, "nth" cousins.
Like a disunited family, however, we fight. Tom,
our big brother, gets one more stick of candy than we,
so we pout. Jane, our kid sister, has started growing
up and putting on airs, so we try to cramp her style.
A house divided against itself will fall. What we need
is a patriarch of old or some of Jiis clear sighted sons

PYLE DRIVEN
C. C. "Cash and Carry" Pyle is hardly as lacking
in sagacity as he has lately been given credit for being.
The fact that his widely heralded Bunion Derby has
been buried on back pages of the daily press ever since
the starting cun is no cause for
known maxim that the public, like the sea elephant,
can be fed a good deal but when fed too much gets
nauseated. JSJo one knows this better than the wary
Mr. t'yle.
By this mornine- his wparv nnrarhnTiiri mill Vovn
coveted approximately 1800 miles, or a little over half
tneir treK. ihey are now in the state of Missouri, hav
ing plodded steadily onward ever since the fourth of
March. It is hardly to be supposed that the reading
public, long-suffering as it is, could have stomached a
daily blurb as to the progress of the caravan. This
loo, is as the ABU to Mr. Pyle. But only wait until
the final sprint breaks loose somewhere in the vicinity
of Pittsburgh, and the handful of hardy souls left
cuts loose. Then will come the deluge. Syndicated
throughout the length and breadth of the land will be
ieature stories of the great race. They will not run on
back pages: they will be real np-os. Anrl in () Wt
weeks of the procession the country will be showered
wan aDoui as mucn miormation on the ranking of the
runners, their vocations, the age of their mothers, the
kind of gum they chew, as it can well stand.
It takes the courage of one's convictions to under
take such a project as this one. It takes a not incon
siderable assurance to let slip the goading of the pub
lic's interest until the last thousand miles. But gigantic
indeed is the mentality of Mr. Pyle, and better than
most others does he know not o'ruv what the nublic
wants but in what doses it can stand it. Harvard

Opinion Is Confirmed
This opinion was confirmed, and
more information added by Bruce
Thomas, president of Beta Theta PL
Both the Beta and Delt houses are
'situated on R street between Four
teenth and Sixteenth streets where
traffic is most affected by the parl'ng
rules. "There is too much heavy traf
fic on R street," remarked Bruce
Thomas. "Lincoln should help to
keep the fraternity and sorority sec-
tions Quieter, instead-of seeding: ail

Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity . presi
dent, Willard Bailey, agreed with
tiie first two university men. "We are

C wire a 'thru street' it would dis-

streets." v '
Agitation Is Carried On
Parallel parking on R street from
Tenth to Sixteenth and on Sixteenth
from R to Vine, was provided for by
the Lincoln department of public
safety on February 17. Since that
time agitation has been carried on by
students in the university for a re
establishment of diagonal parking.
The chief reason for the charge,
given by Commissioner E. W. Bair,
was that it was dangerous for stu
dents stepping out from behind cars
into the street. University students
consider that the step was unneces
sary and are clamoring for diagonal
parking.
"We wor.ld prefer diagonal park
ing because it gives more room in
front of the house," was the opinion
of Florence Swihart, president of Pi
Beta Phi sorority. "Considering that
there are so many sorority and frat
ernity homes oh Sixteenth I should
think that a better 'thru street' .-ouiiJ
have been found."
Official Criticized
Inez Evans, president of Kappa
Kappa Gemm orority, made the
same- remarks that the Pi Phi nresi
dent advanced. Both sorority houses
are situated on Sixteenth street
Further investigations concerning
personal opinions are beine made bv
The Daily Nebraskan. The problem is
one of interest and importance to
nearly all University students, shown
by the response made to the ques
tions of a Nebraskan reporter. Lin
coln officials are being criticized for
'their attempts to divert traffic from
the downtown sections to streets
passing through the University or
fraternity and sorority sections.
