INSIDE, NOT OUT
ewthered together yesterday for the first time,
and peruana the last, University of Nebraska fresh
men were given their formal welcome Into the Uni
versity at the freshman convocation m the Col
iseum. Today they are back In the maelstrom of unl
fersity life, many never to lift their heads conspicu
ously above the surface. This, despite the fact
that freshmen possess one great advantage over the
remainder of the student body.
The freshman has not yet become cognizant of
campua customs. He is able, If he wishes, to ex
plore the University with all the zeal and enthus
iasm shown by frontiersmen In their development
of the West. He Is not so used to the path of col
legiate fashion as to be blind to possibilities of
improvement.
If the freshman can utilize such advantages of
experience of others who have gone over similar
paths, and synthesize sucessfully, success in his uni
versity course Is assured.
Unfortunately, the newness, the vastness, the
complexity of the University and Its routine will
overawe portions of the class. Others will be mis
directed by upperclassmen in whom they have
placed undue confidence.
Opening months of school place a heavy schol
astic burden on the average freshman, unused to
the caliber of work demanded of univ ersity students.
Fraternities and sororities occasionally place duties
on pledges which handicap the more serious purpose
for which they are attending the University. They
may alio encourage new students to essay too wide
a role In university activities.
The thinking freshmen will emerge from this
belter skelter of pressures, as a more valuable citl
sen to the state and a more significant personality
to himself. On the new students' ability to distin
guish between fundamentals and non-fundamentals,
between a reasonable and an unreasonable program
of development scholastically, socially, and In activ
ities rests his success in adjusting himself in the
University.
OPENING THE DOORS
This evening the churches of Lincoln will throw
their doors open to the university students. One
evening each year Is set aside by the University,
closed to dances, and designated as AU-Universlty
church night
Each church has invited the students of that
denomination to spend the evening enjoying them
selves and getting acquainted. Entertainment,
games, short skits, talks, and refreshments have
been planned.
To the new students, especially those who do
not have a definite means of social contact, the All
University church night Is a great help. To the
older students, those who already have their social
connections and know at least a few of the many
people on the campus, this evening will afford an
excellent opportunity of broadening those acquaint
ances and also meeting some of the new students.
HOLD YOUR HORSE8
"For your spare time get a hobby and ride It,
but don't attempt to ride too many," was the open
ing advice to University of Texas co-eds by Miss
Ruby R. Terrill, dean of women, at yhe Lonestar
Institution last week.
Sound advice, agree all. The unfortunate part
of it is the difficulty of carrying out any such choice
bit of sagacity. Especially is it difficult from the
standpoint of the dean of women, whether In Texas,
California, New York, or Nebraska.
Here Is Mary Lee, the "cutest little thing you
ever saw" with ten or a dozen upperclass co-eds not
only willing to help her find her way into activities
but confident that each is of the utmost importance
to her university career.
Then over in the corner Is Dorothy Jones, so
quiet that even the booster girls couldn't make an
activity hound out of her, yet supremely in need of
encouragement! to give her opportunity for self de
velopment. On the shoulders .of the dec a of women and
ber staff falls the task of preventing Mary Lee from
over-doing, and the task of providing opportunities
for Dorothy Jones in the midst of the mad rush that
Is often entailed in the activity whirl. Her only
possible rid Is occasional thoughtfulness from par
ticipating students, who can. help place ail co-ed
activities on a sound basis.
HIT THE MUD1
In accordance with the plans for a greater Uni
versity of Nebraska campus, the Memorial mall Is
no longer a thing on paper, It is becoming a reality,
Houses that for many years stood their ground have
been torn down or bodily moved away. This sum
mer pavement was laid from Fourteenth street to
the Stadium, in front of the Coliseum and Dessey
hall.
The work that has been done so far on the mall
has done much to beautify that section of the cam
pus. The pavement that has been laid riot only
solicits more travel to the northern part of the cam
pus, but also helps to relieve the parking situation.
It was entirely fitting that the University clean
up the ground between Bessey hall and the Colis
eum. But in the anxiety to beautify that particular
part of the campus, university authorities have neg
lected ono particular eyesore.
From the north corner of Nebraska hall to the
pavement of the mall, there is a block of unpaved.
ungraveled street. The surface of the street is- clay,
The ditches on either side invite the rear wheels
of a car, and after a rain or snow storm, the Invi
tation is even more forceful. The street is bad
enough at its best, but after a rain it is unsightly,
as well as muddy enough almost to prohibit travel.
Pavement along the block would complete a
paved drive, past the newer and larger buildings,
through the campus, and eliminate a section which
has been a constant subject of criticism for several
years.
RATIONAL EMOTIONS
In one of his daily columns President Glenn
Frank of the University of Wisconsin traced the
Protestant reformation to the present. Paradoxi
cally enough, he finds the movement has led to a
rationalizing of religion and an emotionalizing of
politics.
The beauty of religion comes In man's soul sat
isfaction from it, Its ability to make life brighter
and more meaningful. The effectiveness of politics
comes thru its ability to give the greatest freedom
to all individual citizens. Dr. Frank continues that
such functions have become emotionalized to cover
selfish interests, the same selfishness that a spirit
ualized religion counteracts. The next step, he con
cludes, would be to retract the rationalization of re
ligion and strive to spiritualize it. In politics he
prescribes a rationalizing cure to go forward with
the unprejudiced method of a scientist.
How fitting It is that such a change In a great
movement begin on the college campuses. Students
of the universities have the possibilities of a great
public opinion forming factor In their hands. They
have before them the materials for intelligent con
sideration of political Issues. Apart from the living
processes that work in the world, students are in
position to start the growth of rational judgments
and rational attitudes. Serious student thinking and
discussion is given unusual opportunities for exer
cise in the present political campaign.
THE RAGGER: An optimist. Is he who goes to
get a football ticket on the 50 yard line at 10 o'clock
in the morning.
Strange Conversations Overheard
As Dramatic Students Rehearse
It is ten o'clock on a crisp Sep
tember morning. A lone freshman,
in search of a quiet corner In which
to study for his next clas, wanders
into the Temple building. After
finding a convenient bench on the
second floor, he settles down, for
an hour's concentrated effort. He
buries his head in a book. All is
serene.
Suddenly a woman's piercing
scream comes to his ears, appar
ently from the room across the
hall. Simultaneously a man bursts
forth in a Simon Legree voice, "Ah,
so the cheeild's in London, eh 7
Well, ra' good woman, you shall pay
dearly for this. Heh hen heh! Take
that and that and that!"
The freshman, Btartled out of his
wits, drops his book with a bang as
the woman cries out in agonizing
tones, "Oh Egbert, how could you
beat me so?" ending her pleas for
mercy with a realistic bloodhound
wall. Our hero lunges toward the
nearest door. Intent on throwing
away his life, if necessary, for a
fair one in distress.
But evenas he makes this gal
lant resolve, the door opens and out
stroll nonchalantly ah, no, gentle
reader, not a black-mustachioed
vlllian dragging a female by the
hair, but two youthful dramatic
students, discussing with much ani
mation the rehearsal they have Just
completed.
Our hero's jaw drops. He stares,
scarcely believing his own eyes.
Then conies the dawn, and reallz
lng that he was not listening, after
all, to a near-murder, he picks up
his book with a sheepish grin and
mnkes for the nearest exit.
To the uninitiated, the Temple
might, on various occasions, sound
much like a madhouse. In one
room Is a class In public speaking
shouting at the tops of their voices
Spartlcus' speech to the glau 'ors.
In the adjoining room a ueath
scene Is being enacted with much
reality, while just across the hall
an "elderly married couple" are
engaged In a heated argument.
"There are often between fifteen
and twenty plays being rehearsed
at the same time," explained Her
bert Yenne. assistant professor in
public speaking and dramatics,
"and almost any kind of a scene
Imaginable may be overheard.
"We try to banisn stage iriKiu
and tlmldness In our classes Dy
having everyone enter whole
heartedly Into his or her respective
part. By having a whole class re
cite a certain part together. It en
courages those who are easily em
barrassed on tho stage."
So if perchance , you hear frag
ments from the cieam Bcene m
Hamlet" floating out of a window
in the Temple building some day
when you are passing by, don't be
alarmed. Just remember that the
youth exercising his larynx in the
room above may be a Booth or
Barrymore in the making.
If a fellow didn't have a laundry bag to send
home, many parents would go without mall.
Judging from appearances Memorial Mall should
have a sign In the middle of the plotadvertlslng
used cars for sale.
At last! A picnic ground that doesn't necessi
tate a Rent-A-Ford. There will be a lawn about
Andrews Hall.
About this time of year, the alarm clock
another one of the indlspensible things about
dormitory. .
Class room seats get uncomfortably hard, but
Isn't It peculiar that the stone work about Social
Sciences makes such an Inviting spot.
Traffic on R street around the campus seems
to have increased geometrically during the past sum
mer. Viaducts will be the next development
Thought minus students are now preparing to
Instruct freshmen In the ways of a university. At
least freshmen aren't likely to believe In, elevators.
OTHER EDITORS SAY
Among the reasons given by Chancellor Burnett
why the University of Nebraska needs money are,
"need to enlarge the physical plant and to bid suc
cessfully for the services of outstanding educators."
The Chancellor recounts that of the ninety-three of
the faculty who have resigned In the last three
years, fifty-three have gone to other schools at
great salary increases. The toss of educators from
the University does not sound so good. Economy
Is a commendable policy, but always It Is necessary
to be careful about deciding what is economy, but
if the University is really having trouble to vetain
Its needed faculty strength, economy Is boomerang
ing. Wells was right in observing that it was al
ways a nip and tuck race between education and
disaster. It is easy to get applause for slamming
higher education when its cost Is the topic, but it Is
only applause of a kind. The affairs of the Uni
versity require informed and intelligent considera
tion. Hasting Daily Tribune
The board of regents of the Nebraska state uni
versity have taken a long time to settle for good
and all the matter of the chancellorship, but In the
end have acted wisely in changing the status of
Dr. E. A. Burnett from that of acting chancellor to
permanent head of the Institution. Our hat Is off
to Chancellor Burnett, a good Nebraskan and a
great American.

A STUDENT LOOKS
AT PUBLIC AFFAIRS
By David Fellman
United States Senator Borah of
Idaho, one of the outstanding
spokesmen of the Republican
party, will speak In the university
coliseum Saturday night. He In
tends to discuss the problems of
farm relief and prohibition, the
issues which he considers to be
.paramount in this campaign. Sen
ator Borah Is a veteran cam
paigner, and is also considered the
.finest debater In the Senate. You
- ca rest . assured that Senator
X-f&h has lots to say, and that he
will express himself In no uncer-
,'ttla terms. This is a rare oppor
tunity that students of the Unlver-
' city should not pass up.
The great Issue before the Amer
ioxa people today is: Who shall be
, ,e vtt president of he United
. iT To decide this qreatlon
i-'y, it is essential that every
v'
Intelligent American voter should
exercise his privilege of participat
ing in the final selection of the
chief executive. The apathy and in
difference of the university men to
political affairs is one of the sig
nificant and discouraging features
In American life.
Perhaps the injection of a consid
erable amount of new blood Into
American politics would act as an
effective sort of a purgative.
Voting is not merely a matter of
going up to the polling place on
election day, and filling out a bal
lot Registration it required, in Ne
braska, in all towns over 7,000.
This meant that students having
their residence in Norfolk, Fre
mont, Scottsbluff, North Platte,
Kearney, Hastings, Beatrice, Ne
braska City, Lincoln, and Omaha
must register if they intend to vote
on November 6.
Registration must be done in per
son ; It cannot be done by mall.
You may register in the office of
i the county cl-trlc of this county If
you hare lived in the state for six
months, and in the county for forty
days prior to the election, and in
tend to make your residence here.
You must either reside in Lancas
ter county, or express your inten
tion to reside, in order to be eli
gible for registration. Residence is
purely a matter of the Intention of
the Individual.
It is not necessary to be twenty
one years of age at the time you
register. Those who will be twenty
one on or before election day may
register now.
Standing out as a matter of great
International Importance today is
the Anglo-French naval proposal.
England and France recently
worked out a compromise plan for
the limitation of aaval construc
tion, and submitted it to the for
eign offices of the United States,
Italy, and Japan.
This plan, Its proponents insist,
merely seeks "to compromise, and
facilitate the work of the League
of Nations' preparatory disarma
ment commission." It appears that
the proposal of th'a plan also alms
to prevent the calling of another
outside conference, like the Geneva
Official Bulletin.

conference, called last year by the
United States. It will be remem
bered that this conference failed
completely to reach any sort of aD
effective agreemant 6 naval limi
tations. It is important to note that this
Anglo-French proposal fails to sup
port the American viewpoint on
such matters as the 10,000 ton
cruiser, the 8 inch gun, and the
long radius submarine. The United
States must be safeguarded in the
construction of smaller craft be
cause she lacks ports and naval
bases scattered throughout the
world. The American point of view
seems to be that the proposed com
promise plan Is simply reviving the
old British proposals that were the
cause of the failure of the Geneva
conference last year.
WOiMEN LACKING
IN SCHOOL SPIRIT
Chester L. Brewer, director of
athletics of the University of Mis
souri, has dropped a bombshell in
the midst of Missouri sorority
houses. Brewer charges that girls
at the University of Missouri have
become a class of grafters and that
they lack school spirit.
These charges have brought mes
sages of congratulation to the ath
letic lirector and also protests from
feminine campus leaders.
Brewer charges that the girls
take too much time of his athletes.
The girls say that he should have
men on the athletic teams who
have enough will power to keep
the strict training rules.
"Girls of the University have lost
their institutional spirit," said
Brewer. "At one time the women's
cheering section was as large as
the men's. Now girls won't go to
football games unless they have
dates."
ALUMNUS PUTS OUT
FOOTBALL WEEKLY
The Nebraska alumnus will pub
lish a weekly football edition for all
members of the Alumni association.
The idea is to furnish alumni, es
pecially those who do not receive
Lincoln or Omaha papers, a de
tailed account of the game. The
paper is patterned after a similar
one at the University of Illinois. It
is to be three columns with a seven
by nine and one-half inch type
page and four pages.

Announcement was made last

The election of Gil is significant
from several standpoints. His elec

He has no military experience, a
qualification which seems to be es
