AND BOOKS HAVE AN INNING
Winter cold, tolenm, winter with lis attend
ant red noses and buiffles has swooped dowu upon
the campus. A bit late, perhaps, but full of apology
and with apparent intent to make up for lost time.
Overcoats and sheepskins have been yanked from
the traditional motb, balls and adorn their various
owners.

probably be noticeable in classroom and dormitory.

may stay comfortably inside and study.
Youth, after all, i3 carefree and more or less
Irresponsible!. At least that is the opinion that most
parents and older persons seeni to hold. "Mighty
little studying that boy does," Is apt to be the ver
dict of the hard-eyed business man who adjusts his
clerical spectacles and examines the monthly requi
sition. But let them Invade the average fraternity
or sorority house on a week-night. Sileuce pervades.
Concentration Is king!
Many students give the opinion outside of school
that It is all a snap. Oftentimes they are the hard
est book-lookers. Outsiders may well reflect before
rondemning university students for thoir study hab
its, especially if they are basing their conclusiona
on studpnt chatter.
GROWING UP
Universities and Institutions of higher learning
are no longer the school of yesteryear. They are
td vaue.ing with the time and the modern trend of
; ivllization. The university of today has abolished
its old 6flf, Its old habits and many of Its old follies.
The university of today is growing up. The
i lass spirit that prevailed in the days gone by Is
ti'iw almost extinct, because of the enormity of the
f lacing. The green t ap tradition is no longer au
'titoiced tradition on the Nebraska campus but ln
!.fad U a display of what class spirit there is left.
Til'' brutal hazing of barbarian days has taken lis
.I'panure on the campus and in fraternities with
l he rest of by-gone events. The university student
is gtoing up wl'h his Institution. He no longer
thinks and arts as ihe student of ten years ago. He.
more often thau not, now acts rationally Instead of
childishly.
Despite the fact that student conduct U attain
iug a higher degree of sanity and a lesser degree
of folly, It is still a common subject of criticism
among those unacquainted with its workings. Most
of this criticism is baned on hearsay evidence. Con
tinued growth of the finer aspects of university
life will steadily work toward the removal of such
prejudices as may have arisen.
PALLY AGAIN
The Missouri Tigers have tome and gone. Li
ctteoient over the Cornhuskers' decisive victory i
subsiding. The campus Hpotlight seeius to have
turned temporarily from football to an issue of na
tional consequence the presidential election ut
Tuesday. It is unusual for tho majority of college
students' to take an election seriously, nut the
forthcoming Hoover Smith contest, viewed with in
tense Interest the country over, has won the atten
tion of the ttudent body.
"Smith for President" and "Hoover-Curtis'' clubs
have been formed. G. O. P. elephants and fc'mlth- Rob
inson buttons have been circulated. News of these
political activities receives front page consideration
la The Dally Nebraskan and Is published In daily
papers of the state. A debate between teams from
the Hoover followers and the Smith aggregation Is
being planned. Though the Influence nationally will
probably never be (eit, student activity and Interest
in this election is almost universal and those who
r past tho 21 year-old mark may be counted on to
east their ballots one way or the other on No
vember S.
While the general campaign here has more or
less a collegiate air, there Is no doubting Its sin
cerity or the earnestness of Its leaders, Hoth youth
ful republican and democrats have met and planned
drives to put their candidates over on the campus.
Whether K Is their influence or the general attitude
of the nation ttiat has aroused the student body to
active participation cannot be determined, but tho
fact remains that nearly all have assumed a keen
interest in the election.
Such Interest Is commendable. University stu
dents today are declined to be the kaders in elec
tions of tiie inline. It is well and fitting that they
lake part In this campaign. It is to be hoped that
through this participation they may realize and
cherish what all too many United States citizens
seem to have forgotten the privilege of the franchise.

present day, each typically representative of prom- the Scarlet and Cream will have

plight is confined to hny one or two universities
which are cited merely because of actual observa

an exaggerated sense of lovally, which is a vital
part of any society. Yet whatever the causal rela
tionship may be, the effect is quite obvious even to
the casual observer.
In the perplexing intricacies incident to matric

ganisations; in purpose; in ideals; In the general at
mosphere expressed by the constituent forces in
each of the two universities in quesllon. one of
which Is a ranking school in the Pacific Northwest,
the other occupying a like position in the Mid-west,
there are no essential differences. In keeping with
these similarities there exists in both institutions a '
decided feeling of class distinction, which is at best
unfortunate. Immediately an Individual becomes at

an icy reserve on his activities w ith the common

not a willful deviation from a purpose that should

the efforts of some to relieve the maladjustment,
there Is a tixditlonal contempt and disregard for
those who. for some reason are not "In" with the

survival of an ea.iy period in the history of Amer

adopt a more sensible attitude in keeping with other

the college Is gone. Now all Is hustle and bustle,
and rosy the bent man win. It Is very sad.
Kducatlon, the original .purpose of colleges and

student life, while campus activities and athletic

All Is dumped Into one msd swirl, and a scurrying
and hurrying does nothing more than produce a
headache and an outside chance for a diploma.
Duty to college and organisation, and insane
pride In college accomplishments leads on the weary
worker to yet greater effoits. Work taken on, has
been shouldered for the honor of self and fraternity
