A BIT OF LEISURE.
A rmOACH of th clone of the school year crowd
' Into thrae last few u rapidly psssinf er
Ira f f artivitica. F'.ih club, drjiattment. srtd c
tiity plana an extia meetlnjc or affair of aome aort.
until the atudent who la ordinarily fairly busy finds
himarlf awamped with duties and opportunities for
worth while recreation.
And then to top it off. most professors pced up
the woik of the courses, and end them w ith a term
paper or two. Course that tasvs been of noraml
requirement suddenly demand all night session! to
complete term papers and reports.
In all due recognition of the fact that class work
la of prime Importance, and that any attempt to
place It In second rank is a violation of the univer
aity's purpose, some consideration should be given
to those things somewhat outside the realm of class
work.
Without undue effort, and without any sacrifice,
nrnfraaors could crowd a arrester share of the work
of the course into the first three quarters, when
weather, activities, and general disposition are nunc
favorable to concentrated study. During the months
of February. March and April most things are
rathe- at a lull, but when the closing weeks of
school come around everything combines to make
study nearly impossible. Even the professors yield
to the balmy days (ask the Bizad professor who
last year missed his class three days in succession
to listen to the world aeries.).
There Is a great deal to be gained by a little well
. directed effort in this seemingly minor detail. A
course that ends w ith but a normal amount of work
is apt to leave a much more favorable impression
upon the student than one which ends in a night
mare of term papers, outside assignments, reports,
reviews, and a detailed examination.
Much of the beauty and tradition of the univer
sity, those fine memories that are retained so long
after the- formula for sulphur dioxide is forgotten,
reach a climax In the festivities of the last few days
of the school. If the bulk of the scholastic work is
over, the student can combine with the nominal
class routine, attendance and appreciation of many
of these fine occasions. They will form a fitting
climax to a year of achievement, and will Inspire
the student to return in the fall. Under the pres
ent system the student emerges after a hectic two
weeks of hurried, unsatisfactory work, convinced
that never again will he go through a similar trial.
Co-operation on the part of the faculty In adjust
ing the work of the semester would be greatly ap
preciated, and would add a very definite measure
to the completion of a school year.
WITHOUT FIRE OR NOISE
-pins morning Louie Gilman comments on the ac-
tlon of the Lincoln police and fire departments
in extinguishing the political fire of Monday night.
Their action, says be, ia quite right Indeed, for
"These here college boys don't need to try no rough
stuff. Such goln's on hain't right In our fair city."
In commenting on the puritanical anti-serenade
rule of the city council, one student suggests that
fraternity and sorority houses be classed as natural
hazards, and those who have the pluck to move
next door to them should not expect to sleep from
dusk to dawn. What obliging boiler factory shuts
down when the sun descends in order that the
neighbors may have their undisturbed slumbers?
Mild riots along the Greek arena should be
viewed with tolerance by local sleuths, as long as
they are held within reasonable limits. True, loud
outbreak- at Isolated outlying houses may bring an
undue burden upon the neighbors, but the near
campus district might be designated, without harm
to the dignity and moral uprightness of the school,
as a field for riots and other minor demonstrations.
GREEDY CHILDREN
A THLETE3 are carefully groomed and trained for
their various encounters. College students
struggle along on boarding house meals, insufficient
sleep, too many cigarets and take part in various
other activities which detract from their mental
alertness. If exceedingly bright, they may pick up
a few stray facts along the line.
Lecture room naps are common. Some profes
sors, it la true, have an uncanny ability to lull their
student audiences Into peaceful drowsiness; if stu
dents received a reasonable amount of sleep during
the nights, however, they might be able to combat
the demons of sleep. It Is quite possible, too, that
some educational pointers might be absorbed from
the "bone dry" lectures.
Fraternity, sorority and boarding house cooks
use little discretion in preparing meals. Truck driv
ers and ditch dieeers may demand heavy food and
lots of it; college students, dependent upon their
wits, should be satisfied with more moaeraie re
nnets. Thev continue to gorge, however, dulling
their Intellects and getting out of trim and training
for the game of education.
Disregarding the improbable presence of any
moral issue, too many cigarets are smoked by col
leee men perhaps women, too. Fraternity houses
are forever filled with heavy clouds of smoke and
Greek backyards are littered with countless clgaret
butts, dumped from overflowing cigaret stands.
Freedom from restrictions in regard to sleep
food and smokine habits is desirable. Those upon
whom this freedom is bestowed, however, should
come to realize the importance of moderation. Too
nAf,v vouths. liberated for the first time from the
autocratic, IhuufaU well intended, rule of parents, go
mildly insane in their attempts to do the things that
have so long beenprohibited. Tuey stay up half the
night, eat what they wish, smoke an endless string
of cigarets and stage a systematic campaign to vio
late the rules which have always been held over
them.
If students ar to be treated as sensible, reason
able adults, let them attempt a fair Impersonation
of such Individuals. If they Intend to act Ilka
greedy children, they ar. Inviting stricter and more
unpleasant regulation.

MILESTONES
AT NEBRASKA
NOT ALL WR0NO
pOMTLAINTS of many hue over the compulsory
R. O. T. C. two year drill period which every
university man. unless properly excused, must tsk
before rraduatinr. continue their ususl circulation.
Similar cries have been heard In Institutions neigh
boring on ours.
The hesrt of th complslnts at Nebraska, at
least, seem to center around two points. First, three
hours must be spent each week in marcning. exe
cution of arms, and lectures which ar deemed ex
tremely uninteresting and a total wast of time.
Second, uniforms which must be worn are ancient,
out-of-date, do not fit and are claimed to be a dis
grace to any one who wears them.
ComDlaint number two la easily taken care of by
the assurance recently given by authorities that at
tractive new uniforms of a different typ wtu ne
furnished Nebraska cadets next year.
A number of answers could be given for the first
complaint. In the first place, it appears to b only
the grumbling of those who are entirely lacking in
ambition and who probably deplore the work they
have to do in other courses the same as they do the
military-
In the second place, the physical upliftmcnt re
ceived from three R. O. T. C. hours devoted mainly
to exercise each week are of advantage to everyone
in this age which demands a well-equipped body as
well as mind to succeed.
Lastly, the benefit derived from association with
such inspirational men as Lt. Col. F. F. Jewett and
others on his staff who are constantly working for
a better unit and consequently better trained, better
equipped students, can not be denied.
Those who have decried compulsory R. O. T. C.
as unworthy of the time necessarily spent in it,
should give a second thought to the mattef. A
change of heart might result.
A SIMPLE DUTY
VTRITE a letter home!
It would be astounding if the exact number of
university students who neglect this simple opera
tion were known. And a few words from daughter
or son away at school, many for the first time,
mean much more to the folks at home than most
persons realize.
Any student with an average degree of intelli
gence, realizes what his parents ar doing for him
in the way of providing him a college education.
Most students try to show their gratitude in one
way or another. Yet many of them neglect the
simplest manner they could employ to show their
appreciation and love.
It takes only a few minutes to scratch a mes
sage that will bring brightness and life to a mother
or dad somewhere. More regular observance of
this task would be a commendable habit for any
student to form.
Onr. there was an honest professor who told his
class that "Those who can, do; those who cannot,
teach."

NOTHING TO DO
To the editor:
Here is what I want to know. If the Innocents
are a bunch of yesmen, and the Student council
is a bunch of politicians, and the faculty is a bunch
of crooks, and the staff of this paper a bunch of
jellyfish, why don't we turn Russian and abolish the
whole darn university?
I heard that all the foregoing was true, so I asked
my informant on what basis he made such sweep
ing statements. His answer and the answer of most
of Ye Bolshevists was "what have they done?"
"Well," says I to me, "What have they done."
I thought about this for a while and it occurred
to me that Coolidge and Hoover have been criticized
more freely because they hate done nothing, and I
thought some more and wondered if there was a
whole lot for them to do. Washington and Lincoln
were great men, they ssy, but if the revolutionary
war had not come along to occupy the attention of
the "Father of our Country" and the slaves had not
needed freeing there would be plenty of saps to
pipe up "What have they done?"
All of the insurgents will snort snd fume at tV?
suggestion that this institution is not diseased io
the core, that anything short of murder, fire re
bellion and insurrection can start it on the way to
recovery, but I ask you just what is there that
needs to be done ?
After considering the matter to that extent I
slapped mysetlf soundly on both cheeks for bother
ing my head about the aspersions of the would-be
rebels. I noticed that the individuals, who are so
free with their "What have they dones," find so
much time for criticism because they themselves
aren't doing anything. T. C. H.

BETWEEN THE LINES
By LASELLE GILMAN.
COUR OF THE reasons why the
r author Is going to lesve the
middle west after graduation:
Spring.
Eternal drizzling rain
Across my window pane,
And drafly, dreary days
That change from black to grays.
Summer.
Blaring, blinding heat.
That beats down in the street,
And swirling dust and sand
That chokes dry-throated land.
Autumn.
(Repeat first verse.)
Winter.
Brown and barren plain
That wears upon my brain,
And icy winds that blow
Without redeeming snow.
THE NAUGHTY littles coeds
1 dared to go to the polls and
actually vote for 12:30 nights
two of 'em every single week
end. Plainly we can see what
they are trying to get at it
isn't the extra fifteen minutes to
eat in with comfort, but, as our
lady dean has intimated, some
thing much worse. What Is go
ing to become of the younger
generation! It's as bad as voting
wet! And that A. W. S. board
has aided and abetted them by
upholding the referendum.
a
AS WE understand it, 473 girls
voted for the 12:30 rule, and
thirteen voted for the 12:15. Gosh
how we'd like to get a single
look at those thirteen.
a
While they were at It, however,
why didn't the unfair sex vote
for some hour worth while? All
this holler for a measly fifteen
minutest Why not 1:30? .Or 2?
Or 3? Don't look so shocked
Mabel; we've heard of people go
ing to parties and staying till
two or three and still maintain
ing their reputation. Coeds at
eastern schools do, but of course,
coeds at eastern schools and coeds
at Nebraska are much different,
a
AND COME to think of it, it
wouldn't do much good to
stay out any later. Dances in
Lincoln are closed up at 11:30.
Shows stop at 11. It's a wonder
the police haven't closed the
Stuart, wbjch stays open until
midnight, occasionally. No won
der dance halls outside the city
limits do a big business every
night in the week, including Sun
day. "This town," say the city
fathers, "is a godly town, given
over to schools and churches. It
isn't like that there wicked Om
aha!" - Well, Omaha is a good
town, too.
CPEAKING of cops and such,
,J our noble village police force,
having nothing else to do, rushed
around to Sixteenth and R the
other evening and descended
upon those desperate characters,
the electioneers, and made 'em
stop their parade. That was in
accord with the ruling against
late rallies, we suppose. Lincoln
home owners want to sleep, and
the rowdy college students dis
turb their rest. Even our effi
cient fire department had to
barge in and douse the torches
the police had taken from the
paraders.
