Hi analysU and definition of an education rlressrd an angle seldom considered by students tn their ma i rush to absorb aa quickly pos.sible the material that heterogenous courses ofier to them. Kor an education, according to Dr. Thompson s way of thinking, is far more than collecting, assimilating and otg-anirinfr a mass of facts. Tho days when a college graduate was supposed to have learned everything worth knowing is past. And while the new era of education demands spe cialization, It demands something more. It insists that every man and woman must be willing to face an issue squarely, to think it out for themselves, and then to follow fearlessly the convictions which they have arrived at through individual thinking. Dr. Thompson believes that It is well to have a definite set of requirements every student must meet oefore be is given a degree. Requirements are good nt because they give the student concrete knowl edge that he some day may be called upon to use. but because they give him a definite course to fol low, certain obstacles to overcome, a challenge to meet, a prescribed path to follow. The challenge that Is thrust out to every student through these requirements should be enough to spur him on to graduation and his goal. JTVADIN'G thinking for oneself Dr. Thompson branded as intellectual dishonesty. Too many students set up false standards as to cribbing. They are perfectly willing to assume a puritanic attitude when it oomes to cheating in the classrooms and at examinations, but once outside they will employ the easiest shortcuts to obtain factual knowledge. For expediency such methods are all right, but for an education a student must take the hard way. Tn life there are few shortcuts to success. Achievement comes mainly through hard labor. Kvcn exceptionally gifted men and women turn out to be failures if they do not apply themselves con scientiously to learn the myriad intricate technical ities in their respective fields. Impossible to teach these inner phsses of any line of work whether it be professional or industrial, a university seeks pri marily to teach its students to think correctly. Few people today have lenrned the art of think ing for themselves. But it is those few who lead the world. Thus the problem of getting an education is not an easy one. It involves far more than facts dis pensed in the classrr-:n. It requires students to de velop a spirit of individual thinking which is mos valuable when it is augmented with dominant cour age to push forward and upward. politics suct-eeded. tft killing the kumor putlualloo la an lnatttuUn hith rightfully should a one.

I di column nit n may rv uart u n'Bumi an opea air amphitheater between the north end of the Stadium and the CVhaeum bunga to public con clouaneas the tremendous need of a campus beauti ficatloa program. For years university lobbyists have pleaded with the state legislature to appropriate more money for I cinp professors Mlaries, for new buildings and for ex pansion of the curriculum. But the lawmakers, jealous guards of Xebtaaka'a treasury, have not been willing to dole out more thaa 19 cents of every state tax dollar to the university. In view of more Imperative and Immediate needs, little of the bien nial appropriation has been expended toward beauti fying the campus. That la unfoitunate. It la a univenuty s duly to present a beautiful campus Just aa It Is its duty to present a worthwhile curriculum and to offer In structors able to stimulate Ita students. While the c .r. : caa be coerced to tower above the squalor of phyical surrounding if need be. a beautiful campus Is conducive to a finer appreciation of art and other worthwhile things that a university offers. N ABILITY of forefathers to foresee the tremen dous strides this Institution has made in Its sixty one years of existence has turned the campus Into an emporium of poorly arranged architectural odd itiea which have sprung up hither and yon. prod ucts of growth by accretion rather than intussus ception. Thus students wander from a decapitated Uni versity hall, held together with braces and bolts, to the Annex, a shanty beyond the spacious beauty of Social Science. Perhaps privileged students at tending a state supported school should not expect an agricultural constituency of hardworking taxpay ers to donate large sums of money that the univer sity might be made a more beautiful place, but It is something to strive for. It Is important that a university portray In ex terior beauty what It aelks to Implant in the minds and souls of Its students. One of the most worth while causes for friends of the University of Ne braska to direct their efforts toward rises in the form of a campus beautificatlon program. Giving students a beautiful home in the shape of a well planned physical plant at the slate univer sity will do much to encourage education while stuf fing learning down their throats In an Ill-ventilated, poorly lighted basement recess in University hall, sometimes serves aa a deterrent.

JJOT SATISFIED with the exciting skirimishes at regular student elections, campus politicians have wormed their doctrines into nearly eevry organiza tion. The placing of party affiliation before pe: sonal ability is evident in elections in classes, clubs, societies arid professional fraternities. On the face of things, politics is a harmless form of collegiate activity at Nebraska. Under this innocent exterior, however, the system is growing into a destructive weapon. It is working insidiously against the bests interests of the university. Every organization, the membership in which is founded upon personal and party factionalism, must admit the decline in quality which politics has caused. Take the deceased Awgwan for example. JN THE BEGINNING, Nebraska had a successful and worthy humor magazine. Gradually, how ever, politicians recognized the possibilities of ex pressing party power through this medium. From that time on, the positions of editor and business manager, as well as minor staff jobs, were dished out to a few fraternities. At times a student with ability, despite 'wrong" fraternity connections, managed to squirm up to the top through the maze of political alliances and coali tions. Sometimes the politically favored person was qualified to handle his position. Yet the results were fatal to the Awgwan. Not in one semester, but over a period of years, politics worked their destructive potions on the humor magazine. Tainted, energetic youths were discouraged by the knowledge that their particular fraternity affiliations, or lack of any at all. blocked their way to the top. They ceased their work, disgusted. yAGNIFTED each year, the situation finally re sulted in the discontinuance of the Awgwan and the removal of an established activity. Petty ANOTHER VIEW ON PROBATION. To the editor: A great deal of discussion is going on now among fraternity men regarding Interpretations of the anti probation rule of the Interfraternity council. Pro fessor Schramm makes it very plain that the coun cil means business whe he says- "Abaolutely no substitutions for probation practices are recognized by the Interfraternity council of the University of Nebraska." That statement calls to my mind a discussion which took place at the council meeting at which probation week was abolished. At the meeting a representative of one of the fraternities on the cam pus raised the question of how the council would consider a fraternity conducting a "work week." He went on to explain that his fraternity required the Lincoln pledges to move into the house for a certain period and all the pledges were required to do an unusual amount of work around the house. The question was directed at Professor Schramm. He replied that he did not think it within the prov ince of the council to regulate anything like that. The council, he said, was merely doing away with the horseplay of probation week. The Interfraternity council abolished probation week with that understanding. The representatives did not intend that their fraternities should surren der their reasonable disciplinary power over their pledges. Certainly fraternities should not violate the spirit of the rule. But the spirit of the rule is to do away with rough tactics and horseplay. The council should interpret the rule in that light. K. J. R. WHY NOT? The sight of those dear old Awgwans for sale at Long's for five cents fairly made a tear come to my eye. Darn it all. a few spicy jokes in a few printed pages won't make anyone go wiong unless they belong to the feeble-minded institute a few miles away. A magazine is written for the average or majority, and the average will read it through once, maybe twice, laugh and crack wise then put it aside; t.h( jokes vague or forgotten a few days later. Why do away with some momentary pleasure to the majority? It is only the abnormal mind that absorbs wrong things and they ii get it somewhere. Why deprive good, clean, healthy students a few harm less laughs? Conceded that the last issue was a little swift, I read it through once, put it aside, but reread it immediately after hearing that it had been cen sored. Upon looking I found more "soot" than I had noticed at first, and as far as I could see I found that it was only the quantity and not the quality that was, perhaps, repellent. I also noticed that the worst ones were exchanges from other reputable college magazines. Why should the "dic tating few" be so very anxious to save our so-called morals when other schools haven't seemed to go to the dogs on greater quantities of the same sort of material ? We are pretty good specimens of young men and women if we do not know what Is good for us and what is not. In high school while our ideas are being formu lated Ejore or less, I can understand the censoring of material, but we in college have already formed out standards and morals and It seems an insult to our intelligence and morals for the "higher ups" to feel that they should dictate what we should or should not read. E. D. T. NON GREEK HEAD DECRIES MORTAR BOARD S ATTACK (Continued from Tag. 1.) least six candidates for Mortar Hoard had to be designated on the ballot or the entire vote would be lctft This was certainly a direct handicap lo the barbs as they bad not the same opportunity to know 'representative' girls aa did the Greeks," he pointed out. "and a a result the barbs' ballots would be automatically invalidated." Leader Is Surprised. The Mortar Board's expression of hope in her statement published in The Nebraskan Thursday ibat the May Queen would "not be the product of a queered election" was a surprise to the non organisation leader. "It seems to me when the elec tion Is conducted by the Mortar Boards themselves without even anv faculty supervision at the poils that the election Itself would not nave 10 oe questioned, vu liams remonstrated. "With every Mortar Board a potential candi date for May Queen and many by rnmmsn knowledge known to be such. It would seem that every ef fort would be put forth to have the balloting on the square. "It is true, of course, as inti mated tn the article that several sororities have banded together into a little political clique to fur ther their own candidates. But to say that I am at the bottom of all this or that I tried to do the bar gaining is entirely fallacious." Sororities have ever considered it a political affair, be declares, and as proof for his statement he cites the following cases of the "you vote for us, we'll vote for you" game: Cites Cases. "Last year one sorority solicited the support of the barb faction for its (the sorority's) candidate for Mortar Board and another sorority asked the barb candidate for May queen to secure barb support for the sorority's candidate for Mortar Board in return for their support of the barb. "This year I was confronted by a sorority with the proposition that if the barbs would support the sorority candidate for Mortar Board, we would receive in return the hacking for three barbs also for Mortar Boards. Aside from that I know that nominations were held in many sorority houses mostly where there were Mortar Boards and that they were seek ing coalitions with other sorori ties." That he drew up a slate by him self, as was brought out in the article signed by "Mortar Board," without the consent or co-operation of the barb council Is denied by Williams. In the words of their leader, the barbs, as a council, had nothing to do with the election, but rather it was another group of representative barb men and women who drew up the slate and who sponsored the movement. Denies Accusation. 1 x woujq certainly line 10 Know who it was who told the Mortar Boards that I did the whole busi ness without the hacking of the barbs," Williams went on. In rebuttal to the interpretation given in The Nebraskan's editorial of his work on the campus that "he has demonstrated that his in terests have been warped so that he considers first his barb allies, and, second, the welfai of the university," the defendant fur nishes the following: "I think our record of campus activities during the past few years is proof sufficient that we have the welfare of the university LOVE LETTERS OF YOUNG DON JUANS ARE PURGED OP THEIR SCRAWLTNG3 TO BECOME SUITABLE nter on the same learn played p.prp AflATN in T,11 game.

"In the copper industry. 000.000 pounds are estimated to be used by the people of the United States in one year. If it were not that this copper is saved and melted down and used over in other ways, we would have to ex tract more from the ground, ana in a very short time the supply would be exhausted. "The same principle," he con tinued, "applies In the rubber in dustry, which would not have been able to develop so fast with its price remaining at a low level if it had not been that the old tires were manufacteured into rubber battery boxes, rubber hose and mattine and other commorJities which would be too costly to pro- j duce from new rubber.
