He has lovely ebony curls, and a non chalant black alpaca pile, and he hasn't raised his head from his work once. I've dropped my handk erchief so often it is actually grimy, I knocked my chair ' over twice, I've cleared my throat so much that I can't speak above a whisper and still he simply doea not see me. Oh well why should I care. No doubt he is very obsti nate, and talks back to his mother. Horrid Creature. Why doesn't he look up! Here it is five-thirty and I've de voted my whole afternoon to my school work. I really don't have a great deal done but it certainly isn't my fault that some people have to be so noisy, and unpleas ant, and stubborn. I'll just cut my exams, and tell the dean what I think if he calls me in I wonder what references I ought to take home with me... Ho Hum.

A striking illustration of the practical value of extra-curricular activities in college as appraised by business corporations is pre sented in a letter from the Good year Tire and Rubber company re ceived yesterday by the university in connection with the work of placing men for positions after graduation. The Goodyear people annually seek from the graduat ing classes of all the universities outstanding men to fill positions in the corporation. The letter, printed below, de clares that the company is not en tirely satisfied with the method of selection heretofore empolyed and that they feel that the best indi cation they can have of the worth of an individual applicant is the interest and achievements in extra-curricular activities which he has shown while in school. The company is therefore asking that ftfeeybe -placed on the mailing list or the Daily Nebraskan and other Nebraska University publications so that they may be able to watch closely the individuals who display themselves prominently in student activities. The Goodyear company has formerly, together with a number of other prominent national con cerns, sent a personnel representa tive to Nebraska University to in terview applicants for positions.
