'Thf loafer U the man who Mays in col ,-gt only a abort time, but during thut time hi w the biggest problem tbc fraternity has l lcal with," said the dynamic Thouia At kit Clark, dean of men at the 1'niviTi.ity of Illinois, in a recent address. He aaid further that his advice to frttemitiea a to rxcrcise srrcattr t-are in the election of pledges paying par tioular attention to the schola.stic rims of tie roan. Tbc aJIe of Dean CWk naiarlit well I' hicded by fraternities on the Nebraxka campus, hat that alone ill not solve the fraternity sx'bolan.!tip problem. There arc other men in tlie lodge vhoae loafing does just ns much, if not niorv, to brini? the fraternity avrracc down as doe the loafing pledpe. Nor will tbc prin ciple of attempting to instill knowledge into pledges via their respective posterior cxtreni iliea by means of barrel slaves bring the scho lastic atersjre up to where it should be. Even the most loyal fraternity man must admit that the ehapter house as it now is con ducted, is a poor place for encouraging study. There is always a bridge game or a session of one sort or another in progms. Uppcrdass nicn refuse to take their class work seriously. Their attitude is justified, perhaps, by experi ence, but the attitude is not conducive to the best grades. In some fraternities it is an actual fact that upperclassnieu are able to match pledges in hours which sre unsatisfactory. Nothing ia done to the uppcrclassmcn by way of punish ment. He is allowed to do as he pleases. Even a freshman is able to sense injuslice in that. The fact remains that freshmen may be disciplined until they become calloused, but the scholarship situation will never be satisfactor ily dealt with until measures are taken to im prove study methods of upperclassmcn as well as of pledges. Sure, There Still Juttice. The campus rocks with the story of the young math student, who wrote on an exam ination paper, when asked a question. "God knows. I don't. Merry Christmas." His in structor wrote on tLe paper, "God gets 100 per cent You get rero. Happy New Year." The joke is on the student, evidently, be uo one U particularly interested in him. We accept the story as a good yarn and nothing more. Hut if we reflected, we might find something here of importance, especially to students. This is independence. The student knew, when he answered the way he did, that he would fail in the quiz. But there was a cer tain bonhoTiime, a sporting element, involved that appeals to us. The student, as is the case too often, fadly enough, might have spread himself over two or three pages, giving to his instructor an elaborate and carefully compiled line of what is popularly termed "oil," "bull," and "bunk." (Possibly a question in mathe matics could not be answered in this way, bw it can be done in most cases, if the student is adroit and wise in the knowledge of the sys ten.) He might have been able to get a pass ing grade. But he didn't. He was frank. He was honest. He made no alibis, no explanations, and no attempt to fool his instructor. Instead, knowing his ignorance, he accepted it, grinned, and wished his instructor a M'-ny Christmas. And bis instructor, possessing that ran. and God given virtue, a sense of humor. lrr into no rage over a student's "insolence." He met the student halfway, comradelike, finished ihe joke, and wished the student a Happy New Year. Why the Complaint? To the Editor of The Nebraskan: Following an announcement in the Mon day Nebraskan that applications for staff po sitions would be received this week, an in terested student questions the practice of changing the stalf personnel twice each year Is such a policy consistent with the general purpose of the school of journalism which sponsors the official daily! As the news organ of the university, Th N'ebirskan. has a two fold purpose: To furniaii a medium for transmission of campus news an! to furnish an experimental laboratory for pros pective journalists. Regardless of the personnel of the staff, the publication offers campus news, much of which is written by students in journalism rlasnes. The editing of that copy the makeup of the paper, and the editorial policies remain the problems of the staff. The oft repeated proverb that practice makes for perfection may be. true, bat that ii always is true is questionable. Hop of reap pointment or advancement is an incentive for lesser members of the staff to turn out a cred itable sheet. The eartleas worker lows out when a aumater end.

Not only ia it a wUe plan to extend re ponaiMlity.'bHt It I consistent with the pol icirs of the school of journalism at Nebraska Athletic Ml Important? To the Editor of The Nebraskan : The statement "Athletics may have their place iu the unircTsity ... but this place re amed for them, long sro well filled, ia now much enlarged at the expense of aeliolnstii items on the colhge program," together with a summary of this position at giveu by W ilnam Howard f aft from the Cosmopolitan maganne recently appeared in Th-J Daily Nebraskan. The editor goes on to say: "To readjust value in the ey.s of the students so that the atadium no longer overshadows the lectu.T hall ia but the introduction of s program which would not be complete until all Nebraska had been converted into a new way of looking at life." The situation as described here i grossly exaggerated. Although football is, without much ques tion, the moat important form of athletics in a university, it docs not follow that it takes the place of "scholastic items on the college pro gram." As far as the financial part of it ia concerned, aihletics pay for themselves, and there would be no more money for scholastic items were there no athletics in a school. As to its taking the nveraee student's attention from bis classes, there is little basis for such an iden. l'crhaps the football player himself may be more interested in the came than in his studies, but this interest luts only a short time, in Nebraska at least, and even during this time, he must maintain a certain standard in his studies, and must give them a good deal of his time. The remainder of the students have no such all consuming interest in football as to keep them from their classes. It is true that one day during jhc last season there was some basis for this belief, that is, the day of the much talked of "rally" which disrupted classes for a day. However, even this event was planned and abetted by a very small group of people, and the majority took part unwillingly or not at all, as has been determined by later examination and dis cussion. Indeed, the general run of students would be amused at the idea that football occupied a more important place, or even one approach ing in importance their studies. K. A. Some Weekly Reflections: Whither Student? A few days ago I overheard a conversa tion between "two students which I thought was very interesting. Their talk was, to be sure, of a soaring and fanciful nature, so com mon among adolescents. Still the trend of their argument was not at all without sig nificance. These young men were talking about what station in "life they would most of all like to achieve. Speaking in purely hypothetical terms, with a conscious disregard for actual possibilities, they were trying to express what to them, individually, would be the pinnacle of life, the position in society which would be fruitful of the most complete happiness. And this is what they wanted most to be: One wanted to be, more than anyone else, the king of England; the other wanted to be John Dewey, Columbia's world famous philosopher. The one student considered that he would attain to the Olympian heights of human hap piness if he eould head a vast social system, with the pomp and glitter of a royal court, the enthusiastic worship of millions of loyal sub jects, and all the comforts that money can buy. The other wanted to attain to the omnis cience of a great thinker. To him the achieve ment of being hailed as one of the world's greatest and most constructive philosophers represented the highest goal toward which man can strive. His contention was that the great est thing man can do on this earth is to do something worth while for the betterment of the human race, to contribute to the sum total of the knowledge and equipoise of the world. Here were two motivating forces of life placed squarely side by side. One is the over whelming desire for the satisfaction of ma terial wants. The other is the desire for menial enrichment and intellectual achievement. This is the age old issue of materialism versus idealism. One student sought to find self reali.alion through the projection of his personalis into the physical world about him The other'direetrd his way by the enrichening of his soul, and hence, by giving aid to the development of the souls and minds of others. Both students are seeking happinessaml happiness is wicb a relative term that it is difficult to say whether one or the other is tight or wrong. It is a trite saying that what may be food for one person may be poison for another. But variable as man is. mercurial as hu man nature is. it is to be conceded that there are certain norms of human development which demand recognition. It is manifestly true thai the king of England may be every bit as bappy as John Dewey. As a matter of fact, be is probably happier, for John Dewey, being a genius, and a sensitive person, is probably quite moody, introspective and troubled in his mind. But when these two dignitaries sit down to compute the balance sheets of their lives. I have a hui.cn that one will look better than the other. For after all. no matter how much the people about us may laud us, and respect us, the ultimate test is found in the amount of respect which e have for our own selves. Self respect, self honor, the feeling Or being worth while, these are the ultimate criteria of satis-j factory' lif' " ' WKSIXY PLAYEKS Will.

When asked the average marry ing age of today as contrasted with that twenty-five years ago. the captain replied that It was at least two years higher loriay. He stated that in bygone days a girl was considered oi marrying age when aha reached seventeen. And by twenty, aba was an old maid If she had no husband. The average twenty-five years mm m-aa about eighteen for the girls and twenty-one for the men as contrasted with the present av erage of twenty for the girls and twenty-three for the men, accord ing to Captain Anderson. He stated that this was his estimate but that the average nowadays might be even higher. In general. Captain Anderson thinks tne present generation is Just about as good and morally right as those of yeara gone by. Thu applies not only to university students, but to youth at large, be said.
