TWELFTH STREET CINDERS.
LWAYS ft blight to the campus, the Twelfth
street cinder stretch between Chemistry hall and
Bessey hall at present is the roughest It has been in
some time. Fun-loving students need not seek car
nivals, merry-go-rounds and other mechanical play
things for excitement and wild rides. An excursion
across this unpaved road provides all sorts of thrills
besides shaking every nut and bolt loose from the
vehicle making the trip.
In wet weather the most fun is supplied. Then
the road is an uneven bed of successive lakes of
slimy muck. Students who get within several rods
of the road are sprayed generously with muddy
water as the cars buck by. When the autos pass
each other there is even more merriment. Not only
are the machines themselves plastered from wind
shield to axle with this slush, but unless the car is
a closed one, the occupants receive a liberal speck
ling of mud.
Students who do not know what lies behind the
Twelfth street situation belligerently wonder why
the University doesn't do something about it. The
story is tbis: Some day, within the next couple
decades, perhaps, there will be no Twelfth street
from R street north. Even the paving as far as
Social Sciences and Nebraska hall will be taken up
and closed. No vehicles will be permitted this part
of the campus.
Memorial mall and the new library mall, which
may become a reality in this millenium, will be the
sporting centers where coeds and their boy friends
may exhibit their limousines. Until then, however,
Nebraska students will ride the corduroy stretch
of cinders. The students of today, it is gathered
from this doctrine, should think not of themselves
but of posterity.
The one value of this road is that it prevents
speeding1 across the campus. Perhaps a number of
fatalities have been thus avoided. Perhaps it would
be better to take up the rest of the paving- all
around the campus at once.
Succumbing suddenly, however, is no worse than
the living: death of jiggles and bumps involved In a
passage over this thoroughfare. Some of these days
someone may be suing the university for internal
injuries, bruised heads and broken axles. Then
there may be some action.
In other words, something ought to be done
about it.
STUDENT HECKLERS.
QF ALL the pests that infest the typical class
room, none is more irritating that the specie
that delights in heckling the instructor. Students
of this type are common enough that they may be
considered ft clas. beneath the general phylum,
Collegian a.
Teachers of English, political science, economics
and subjects of that nature have ft problem ln con
tending with them. Even a most presumptuous
student does not dare to disagree with bis chemistry
instructor on the formula for sodium chloride but
many ft neophyte in learning will doubt the ability
of his Fjiglish professor to characterize properly
King Duncan in "Macbeth." He therefore feels
that ha ahould display his intellectual briliianc to
higher learning. Here the students all to frequently
confuse urbanity with snobbishness, poise with dull
ness, taste with skittlshness, dignity with vacuity,
simplicity with inanity. The student who dresses
well, whose mastery of the aubtle arts of the cuisine
ethic is pet feet, who always tips his hat at the cor
rect angle, and who bears himself with a degree of
external poise and ease, passes for a cultured per
son. His fine manners and correct appearances,
which are unquestionably highly valuable social vir
tues, the development of which ia to be encouraged
at all times, are thought to stamp him with ft mark
of culture.
Whether he has any intellectual manners,
whether he has attained ft measure of inward com
posure, whether his thoughts and tastes are as fine
and discriminating as his external actions, seem
quite beside the point. That his mentality may lack
depth and vitality is an Item of a much interest as
the subtleties of counterpoint. As Walter Lipp-
mann puts it, "Whirl is King!"
The atmosphere of the typical university renders
this situation almost inevitable. Where the head
football coach is paid as much as three perspiring
professors of learning, where the stadium ia the cen
ter of the campus's hopes and aspirations, where the
winning of games surpasses in importance the play
ing of games, it is inconveivable that such a topsy
turvy condition should not exist. Nor is the trend
in athletics the only symptom of the general ailment
which affilcts us.
University administrators are too often con
cerned with the size of the classes rather than with
their quality and the possibility of their enrichment.
Legislators concentrate on seeing how cheaply the
instructors can be hired, and spend millions in Impu
dent, self-preening architectural gestures. Student
regard with respect and wistful awe the chap who
drives a snappy roadster around the campus, while
he who owns two has reached the giddy pinnacle of
success.
The coed who never stay, at home on a date
night is the peer of the peeresses. No wonder that
the end of each semester presents the amazing
spectacle of hundreds of students flocking to the
shops to sell their books. The environment in which
they are used regards them generally as necessary
evils designed to make life miserable. The empha
sis is upon external value, upon false social concep
tions, upon a stiff and shallow culture.
True culture is not concerned with outward mani
festations; it looks upon good clothes and good
manners, upon athletics and quantitative measure
ments, as means to an end, never a ends in them
selves. It regards them with discrimination, but
not with reverence. True culture scorns the well
appearing fellow with a mental rusticity, a banal
intellectual attitude, uncouth and untrained. For
mental rusticity partakes of the squalor of the aoU.
not of its warm, sprouting productiveness.
The cultured poise is a mental urbanity, an intel
lectual fastidiousness and sophistication which
makes life abound with taste and beauty. The cul
t red student prizes a library far above a motor
car. He correlates good manners with healthy so
cial conceptions. He reads good books and periodi
cals, and appreciates at least some small area of
the terrain of the fin arts. He enjoy, the spoken
drama as well as the musical comeCy. As a result
of his discriminating activities h attains th cul
tured m!nd a fine, chastened, self-controlled spirit,
free in iti beauty, beautiful Is its gracious freedom.
