. TAKING THE OATH
Today, some two thousand ireshmen will be ad
ministered the "Comhusker Oath" by Doctor Condra'.
It is to be sincerely hoped that each and every man
and woman, as he repeats the words of the oath.
engraves them indelibly upon his memory and lives
- up to them during his college career and afterwards
to the best of his ability.
2 This oath Is something more than just a coni-
binaUon of words and phrases. It represents the
'I spirit of Nebraska as evidenced by the fight made
- by her sons and daughters for higher learning. It
is a verbal statement of the ideal to which every
- student of this university shouM aspire.
To the thinking freshman it will be beautiful
and as time goes on and he paes into wider and
wider spheres, he will come to realizo that he has
pledged himself not only to the university but to a
beautiful tradition.
CAPPING THE CLIMBER
Privileges la the life of a freshman are often
mistaken for hardships. This afternoon the male
representation of the class of 1932 will don green
caps. They will grumble, and look forward to the
day when the conspicuous caps are burned. Those
who have "been through the mill" look at it dif-
, ferenlly.
There are common troubles, common interests
"and mutual friendships among members of a class.
Tlie-present freshman class will have troubles of its
own. Fable remarks that a trouble 6hared Is a
troublo half-endured. Those who wear tb.e green
1 have something in common. Their headgear will
enable them to greet each other on an equal basis
and make friendships that may last through the four
years at Nebraska.
Sentiment in' regard to the green cap on the
Cornhusker campus has changed in the past three
years. The Idea, originally, was to embarrass and
humble the freshman. It has become a privilege and
an honor for first yearmen to wear the cap that,
proclaims him a "comer", one upon whom rests the
future responsibilities of the University.
MODERN EVE
"Personality is that vague something that can
take a five-dollar loan lrom you and make you think
you have received a favor "
Lassoing this apparent choice bit of philosophy
from a corral-full of other unbranded literary mor
sels, a feature writer on the Oklahoma Daily has
speculated upon the practiced and deft ways which
. freshman girls should acquire. "Freshman girls
should first develop personality, or should it be
beauty .the none-too-beautiful sister must de
l velop a striking character if she Is not to be left In
- the background. Think what a few teardrops from
' I a pretty girl's eyes can do. It may be beauty that
" does the work, but it's personality that thought up
- the Idea of crying for what she wants. Water power."
Z Teardrops and personality; what a combination!
3 Too often has attractiveness been spoiled, and real
- personality lost by an effort to educate tear glands
3 to flow at the desired times and to possess a glib
tongue. Why is it that the idea is propagated that
a college co-ed should have and tries to cultivate
these so-called magnetic powers?
Personality is not a product of four years at col-
- lege, but college training and college experiences
Z serve to enhance that personality which a co-ed
- brings with her when she enrolls as a verdant
freshman.
l
IT'S A SUNNY DAY
Further evidence of promise for Varsity Parties
was Indicated Wednesday when the filings for sub
chairmanships on the Varsity Party committee were
collected at the Student Activity office.
More than sixty applicants were submitted for
the eleven positions to be selected. It Is to be hoped
that the majority of those filing applications will
lend their efforts to those to be chosen tonight In
carrying on the work of preparing for this year's
parties. Such co-operation will furnish the lmpetj;
for a continued development of one of the few social
institutions which is a medium for social life for the
entire. University.
THE IT AGGER: Beautifying the campus is all
right providing one isn't a hay fever addict.
And then there is the draft fiend who Is afraid
fresh air will stretch his vocal cords unduly.
Since outside laboratories have begun there are
more mob scenes on the University campus than
there are in Ben Hur.
They talk about the follies of collegiate youth.
But there havfn't been any collegiate dance mara
thons nor pole sitting endurance contests.
'low that the buildings are supplied with rad
iator heat, all one has to hope for is that his class
is free of those chronio fresh air merchants who
are continually insisting that trie windows be wide
open.
"When the University president pastured his
Cow on the campus" starts off an advertisement in
an Omaha paper under a r ture of University hall
before its decapitation. It is a long step from the
old one block campus with its picket fence to the
developing university campus. Imagine parking a
cow on the campus now. It's hard enough even to
park a car on the campus.

"IN MY OPINION
Watch Your Scholarship"
onderfully good' material has entered Ne
braska this fall. We hope that the fraternities and
sororities will handle it well and wisely, directing
the untried ability of each new freshman into useful
channels. Young men and women too, can be made
or spoiled by a wrong start. With the various frat
ernities assuming the upper hand in control of their
pledges, it would be criminal to hamper the develop
ment of individuality and ability by unwise handling.
One of the first lessons that the new pledge
should be instructed in is the habit of maintaining
a dean scholastic record. To ask exceptional aca
demic work of each student would be foolhaidy.
However, the University 'furnishes a fair average
which any student participating in activities must
maintain. Most of the new students will equal this
average, a few will better the mark, but a 'great
many will drop below it andsome will be forced
from school. Such Is life. Those sadder possibilities
must be guarded against, without outside incentive
by the non-fraternity men, and by the zealous eyes
of fraternal enforcement plus his own desire to suc
ceed of the fraternity pledge.
Now is the time to start WATCH YOLK

OTHER EDITORS SAY
COLLEGE DOORS OPEN
Colleges and universities all over the country
are opening and thousands of young folks are troop
ing in for the first time. Many of these are young
men and young women from the farms, and in most
cases they are living for the first time in town or
city. The scenes are strange and new.
Just the other day we noted an item in a Ne
braska paper chronicling the fact that two young
fellows were entering a university. One -pt these,
the paper stated would start football training and
the other would be a candidate for -the rowing crew.
We searched in vain to find out just what these
young fellows were expecting to specialize in at
college. We wondered if in these modern days, the
fact that a chap was going to play football or enter
some other sport was bigger news than his life-work
plans. We hardly think so. i .
There will be a lot of lonely folks in these
Freshman groups that are on a college campus for
the first time, for strange as it may seem, some of
the loneliest times one may spend are in the com
pany of a crowd a crowd that Is new and perhaps
none too sympathetic. There will be trying "times,
times when many a young man and woman decides
that the easier plan would be to go back home. But
as In other lines, the sticker will usually come Into
his own.
The young man and the young woman from the
farm coming to college for the first time, may well
consider the agricultural and domestic science
courses. These are courses that fit one for the tasks
of life on the farm and in the farm home. Every
year as we travel about, we are Impressed with the
worksof the young men who have finished a college
course and are on the old home farm or on. a farm
of their own. For the most part they are commun
ity leaders, helping out in boys' and girls' club work
and foremost In following out new lines of improve
ment In farm practices. They are making their edu
cation count in a big way.
It doesn't matter a great deal as to how many
of the studies of college are forogtten. Facts learned
In the chemical laboratory over Bunsen burners, fig
ures learned In economics, the reading of foreign
languages these may fade away as far as the mem
ory Is concerned. But the contact with other young
folks Is worth a lot, the rubbing of elbows In the
classrooms with enthusiastic students all help In
the future's struggles.
This Is an age when the challenge of agriculture
Is greater than It ever was. It Is an age when brain
Is a mightier asset than brawn if the dweller on
the land is to succeed. The average, farmer has a
greater Investment than the average village iner
chant. Head-work counts. Hence we find scores of
young men from the farms taking agricultural
courses, the better to fit them for carrying on in
their home communities. It Is a heartening sign, for
agriculture. A college degree Is not necessarily a
badge to winning success. It all depends upon the
Individual but the young man and woman who has
the chance to enter and finish college, will find
greater opportunities as well as greater responsibilities.
