Ia requesting. In an entirely fair manner,

suggested that in so doitg students might ac

on many other occasional Consideration for
others, she said, hild prompt on to main
tain tbelr attention in the clawroom, in the
church, and at the theater.
University students seem to accept, almost
aa a matter of course, the plan of devoting the
closing minutes of each lecture to a snapping
of notebook, Joning of ens, collation of
books, and any other details ncary for a
grand exit at tbe sound of the bell.
Certainly this last minute confusion must
be distorting both to the professor and tnowe
members of tbe cla who are sufficiently in
terested to pay full attention until tbe claw i
dismissed. The sight of a half dosen watches,
held aa though for the timing of a bundred
yard dash, must be far from encouraging to the
instructor who is bringing to a clow the de
taila of his discussion.
Whether the instructor who habitually
holds bis class for several extra minute is de
serring of entire respect, is a different matter.

Already The Nebrakan has received cm
niunicstlons fnm renders concerning current
topics but has been forced to rej-ct publication
of them due to the lack of identity of the
writers. As we said in these columns Wednes
day, we are always glad to receive opinions of
other students; in fact, we invite them.

The Daily Xebraskan notes with pleasure,
and H.me pride, that the fountain in I'niver

of a few days ago, the water now gurgles forth
with sufficient force to e accessible to a per

arranged with no reference to the editorial in
The Xebraskan pleading for such repairs. But
there is a slight chance that act was a duvet

this is the rae. the paper rejoices at having

Prof. E. E. Lackey. In supervi
sion of twenty students, toured for
fo weeks beelnninr auk. u
throueh Yellowetaoa park. Salt
Lake oasis and the Colorado rock
las. Tha party traveled by day
mle fWur Lackey gave brief
talks on tha territory tbrougn
which they were touring. At night
their one large auto bus stopped at
a convenient auto camp along the
way. Tha tour served as an exten
sion course with three hours credit.
Tbe plans for this geography
tour had been under way since
soma time early last winter, and
reservations were held for monins
In advance. Tba tour wss the first
of IU kind to be undertaken by
Nebraska students.
Some of the high points of tbe
Journey were a trip through tha
agricultural land of central Ne
braska, an object lesson In Indus
tries when tha tourists passed
through the beet field region of tha
North Platte valley, the Interesting
soil formation In Goshen's Hole, oil
wells In western Wyoming, Hell's
Half Acre with 1U Interesting
topography, Owl Creek mountains.
Bird s Eye pass, and tha Dig Horn
valley, which led the travelers to
Cody, the eastern gatewsy to Yel
lowstone. Two days wars spent
studying the wonders of Yellow
stone, lis geysers and terraces, lis
plants and animals. From hers the
students visited Snake rlvir valley,
i ha fulumbla Plateau, and thence
tourneyed on through tha ranges
of southwestern jumiio sou vama
valley. Aa Interesting geographi
cal study was made of the fcalt
Lake oasla. Tbe travelers crossed
tha WaaaaU'h mountains, headed
southward through Heber and on
to Vernal.
A red letter day was spent In tha
Colorado rock lea, and a day of
great sightseeing In Kates park.

"Father William" is a rather
amusing novel, but not at J-il up
to tbe standard uonaia ugaen
Stewart has set heretofore. He
won his reputation with tba gen
eral public through The Book of
Etiquette." which is a most hilar
ious parody on other dooils oi
etiquette," "Father William" Is
based on Lewis Jjtoii s verse:
" -Tom are oal. faUMr Wlitiaou' tot roves
ataa aaltf.
-An4 rx.r bair has baeeaM very vtuta;
Aa4 r r Hcwinu; An4 oa your
bead
De r utiek. at row - N le rfMT "
And tbe hero of this book Is a
father William who does Incess
antly stand on his bead and the
young men are greatly put out
about it, as one might easily see.
Last March tha American Mer
cury offered two prizes, each of
1300. for articles by American col
lege graduates of 1929. discussing
their experiences in college. In the
October Issue of that magazine the
two winning articles Lave been
published, and are of great Interest
no doubt, to any undergraduate,
Drofessor or alumnus.
Samuel Lipsturtz, to whom the
prize for men went, took his A. B.
at the University of Pennsylvania I
in June. The other was Olive Bros- l
sow, who was given tha A. B. cum
laude by Northland college. North
land. Wis. These, two won over 189
other contestants. Mr. LipshurU
had attended a large university;
Miss Broasow had attended a very
small ona.
As Mencken says in an editorial:
"They represent aptly two sorts of
students who are issuing copiously
from the educational rolling mills
of the land first, those to whom
the four years In college are no
more than a challenge and a stim
ulant, and second, thosa to w hom
they are an overwhelming revela
tion and deliverance." The articles
are pungent and fresh, and Mr.
Lipshurts's. especially, would give
anyone connected with this univer
sity something to think about.
Student publications are devel
oping new life as the semester sets
in. There appear to have been a
few changes in The . Nebraskan
under the new staff. The Corn
husker Countryman l working
under new leadership on its first
Issue, as is the Awgwan, which has
lowered its rates to ten cents an
Issue. It Is due to make its first
appearance early In October. En
gineers are blasting out their first
Blue Print. There are even signs
of activity In the Cornhusker of
nce. The Prairie Schooner had Its
summer issue out during August
and ts now calling for material for
the fall number, to be off the press
soma time during November.
In short, the scholastic year
seems to have started. Dust is be
in formed on the drill field by
green topped, non-uniformed fresh
men who are learning to do a
ragged squads right. Nonchalant
pledges lug piles of paddles about
the campus. Faint snores are al
ready issuing from not afternoon
classrooms. They're shelling out
for student athletic tickets, for
publication subscriptions, for the
privilege of attending extra classes,
for malted milks, for textbooks;
Lincoln banks are picking up.
By all signs, it's apparent that i
this institution is again function- j
ing frantically. Pity. then, for the
saturated senior. But more pity,
for the frivolous freshman; be has

To tbe Editor of Tbe Xebrakan :
Rattle, rattle, rattle, and a half buridred
newspaper were lifted to obscure tbe vision
of a like number of students from a current
vaudeville bill being presented at a local the
ater. Aa one were the dailie" brougbt into
view and, needle to state, tlie rwmlt was an
noying. Tbe episode was oa!r a rej1 jtltioa cf elm
liar one tbat have occurred in tbe pat. About
once a year a certain group of Mudent on Ibis
university campus feel obligate to censure
Mime stage attraction at one or another of tbe
local theater and usually take the newspaper
meanof doing so.
We are not upholding the theaters, here,
claiming tbat all of their presentations are
above censorship and criticism, but we arc at
tempting to oint out tbat it is not tbe duty of
or becoming to anv individual or group of stu
dents to asume this rt4poiisibiliiv. Farther
more it bring down uiidn criticism on the
entire student bodj when sucb actions as those
mentioned above are resorted to regardless
of tbe moitve.
The univemifr needs and welcome any
favorable publicity which may be granted it
but actions such as thou occurring in said lo
cal theater this week can only bring adverse
publicity for tbe university as a whole and
smears in annecessa. tlnr on eollegiale repu
tation. Furthermore, to ne plain words, it's
an insult to Nebraska spirit. Lh ' watch It:
