SPORT FOR EVERYONE
Steps to obtain a longtime lease on the Stewart
tract of land north of the Unlverstty for tho purr
of establishing an athletic field. golf wun snJ
baseball diamond, are. being taken by University
officials. Ths eventy-flve or eighty aero tract of
land rracUcally adjoining the University physical
plant would serve as ons solution for the rapidly
growing system of Intramural athletics.
Necessity for such an athletic field as could be
devoted entirely to Intramural sports, and that
would offer a greater opportunity for students and
faculty, has become most evident in the past few
year. Sines the erection of the Coliseum, interest
la Intramural sports has grown by the proverbial
lfaps and bounds. The increased facilities of the
Coliseum factored largely in this growth. The field
house has adequately taken care of those sports
which have demanded indoor facilities and equip
ment and has toateied an uuluieuupted program
of sports during the cold season of the year.
Warmer weather and the organisation of frat
ernity baseball teams has brought to the front the
question of suitable diamond facilities for the pro
gram of Interfraternity baseball. It has been the
custom In the peat to shop around all over the
city of Lincoln and environs for a suitable pasture
to lay ut a diamond. This has been a clumsy and
discouraging system. It has hampered the syste
matic playing schedule during the spring.
Possibly the need for a golf course that mould
be open to students has not been so pressing be
cause of the fact that the sport has been slow get
ting a foothold In midwestern college circles. But
on tha other hand, there has been no convenient
' course that would encourage the development of a
favorable attitude toward the pastime. Reduction
of the number of tennis courts about the University
due to the erection or new buildings has destroyed
facilities which before accommodated hnndreds of
students. They have either been deprived of the
time which would be spent on the courts or dis
couraged from even attempting to find a vacant
court.
Then, working in exactly the opposite direction,
and making the need more pressing, has been the
increase In student enrollment, and the fact that,
greater numbers of students are realizing the ad
vantage of participation in sports of some kind or
other. The intramural activity of both men and
women of the University has been phenomenal dur
ing the past few years.
The sport tor every student program 1s being
realised, but, at this stage in the development or
such a program. Inadequate facilities for out-of-door
sports stand In the way of further progress. The
stadium field is nnsulted for anything like a base
ball diamond, and a golf course would be absurd.
Trici keeps that portion of the athletic plant
humming until June.
The Stewart tract, almost a waste at the pres
ent time, and which would develop at snail pace
if left a It Is now, would he the. logical outlet for
the athlotlo activities of hundreds of Nebraska stu
dents. With alight cost it could be converted into
an admirable athletic plot

TRAGEDY
Scn: University ot Nebraska campus.
Time: Daytime.
Characters: One Daily Nebraskan reporter, and
another.
It Is a bright day, the sun ahices brilliantly, the
ky is cloudless, although this has nothing to do
with tho action.
The reporter leaves the-Nebraskan office, steps
off tha sidewalk Into the driveway. Splash. "Oh,
my goodness," he cries fiendishly, or perhaps he
adds a little Missouri slang. "With some little delay
he proceeds on the diagonal walk toward Nebraska
hall.
When he gets Iz front of Nebraska hall, another
splash Is heard. In the background, a chorus is
heard singing softly and sweetly, Water, water
everywhere, but not a drop, etc." The repoilr con
tinues on his Journey with a wry look on his face
saying, "Oh. on, oh! Gooudcsh gracious!"
lis meets a friend. "On l eilo Hill. Scrapes
off his feet.) Kloe day. (Kicks orf 1 tud Which hss

OTHER STUDENTS SAY
MASS EDUCATION?
There is a fourteen year old boy who has
reached the sixth grade in the public schools of
Lincoln, snd still has difficulty in spelling such
words ss "blue," "cow," etc He says he must
learn the words from the blackboard, where ths
teacher has written them, and also that in reading
he recites only about once a week. Tho classes are
so large that it takes a long time to get around to
each pupil.
' He has no conception of how words should be
spelled by the way they are pronounced. In fact,
he recites so seldom that he hesitates to pronounce
ttm words himself. The necessary coordination of
sound with spelling is neglected tn this boy's train
ing, as it is negleyed In the training of many pupils
in large schools.
I And here Is the winter number of
jthe Prairie S hooner, all dressed up
' In a now spring coal. The cover Is
1 changed, and the contents, and the
' price ia changed. The latUT Is mosi
j interesting to students. Formerly
the Schooner sold for forty cents
; a copy. and$1.5o a year; now it is
i thirty cents a copy and a$l a year.
I Tins is lis tli ii u hiniidiiy. Several

been made; a frontispiece by Ly

ment Ixig in the Manger.
In reading over the short stories,
one is Inipressud by the number of
dark, tragic ilicmes. Practically all
but one Jade Earrings, by Sel
leriei" have this dramatic under
tone. Therefore. Mrs. Sellerier Is to
be congratulated. How ever, one Is
led to understand that the trend of
the modern short siorv ia toward
the fatalistic, stark nature, and the
Schooner seems to be modern in
that respect, at h-ast. Personally, I
consider "Tall and Straight." and
"Humo Cattle,'' and "The Jungle"
the best of the siories. Tho "Dumb
taUli-" is nso'.htr 'Tarsi toll" arn.
Cliff Snndahl has started a series
of articles on "Journalism,," and
"Literature" which bid fair to be
interesting. Among the poets,

There has been much complaint by professors
in the t'nlversity that students do not know how to
spell correctly. In many eases thst cordition Is due
to the type of high school training mentioned above.
But that kind of training does not si op with the
high school.
A great many classes in the University have an
enrollment of more than a hundred students. With
such large classes it is almost impossible to conduct
a discussion class. Lecture is the only form of in
struction that Is feasible.
There are some courses that are best adapted
lo discussion by the entire class. It. is the only way
in which controversial questions can be ironed out
to the satisfaction of everyone, and the reasons ex
plained, without merely taking the word of the in
structor as to the truth of a statement Discussion
is much more conducive to thought thsn lecture can
ever be.
But lecture if the only method at all practical
for such lsrge classes. So the only way to develop
discussion classes is to cut the enrollment down;
create more divisions for each course; limit tne
work of an instructor to several sections of the same
course, instead of haing him teach a single section
of several different courses.
To follow this procedure It would be necessary
to have more instructors. The need for more pro
fessors and instructors is already very urgent. The
facts must soon be recognised and provision made
for a larger faculty group.
Then it will be possible to escape the dangers
of mass education, and in a measure, vereoms thu n
handicaps of those university students who have
suffered from the large classes of their high school
days.

MORE THRILLING THAN A BETA DATE

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW
Pledges of Nebraska fraternities are whooping
It up in fine style, celebrating the recent action of
the University of Nebraska's Interfraternity Council
in officially abolishing hell week. Delegates of or
ganized houses were unanimous in the condemna
tion of rough Initiations.
5Uiys the Daily Nebraskan :
"The Interfraternity Council has taken a firm
step, championing the stand that is being taken
against rough house probation tactics among college
fraternities. It has foreseen the action that will
come rn every campus. Probation is fading. Ii has
never been other than a hollow eham .... Those
who have complained that fraternities have never
turned a hand to remedy their own difficulties, will
have to alter their views.
Another uppercut to Mr. Paddle's Jaw.
Mr. Paddle cant stand many more blow s. Ohio
State university fraternities had turned thumbs
down on rough weeks Just a week previous to Ne
braska's action.
Organised houses at a large number of colleges
have junked rough initiations long sgo.
