A REVIEW of the activities or the week indicates that the hubub is well nigh complete. The quadrennial fracas of a presiden tial election is over, but there re main to occupy student attention a large number of mid-semester exams, and preparations for a football game, altho definitely sub merged, nevertheless make them selves felt with subtle undercur rent. It is a time of general activity, and as such, a time when reflec tion is not out of place. The se mester is almost half over; the school year has almost passed its first quarter mark; and what have you, a university student, accom plished in that time? How much have you learned about the way you and your fellow human beings act? How much have you added to your experi ence? Have you formed new philosophical conceptions? If you have done any of these things, your time has not been wasted. If you have even once ex perienced the glimmerings of great things, the time has been well spent. For it is not enough that you have done your best in routine scholastic work. It is not enough that you have perhaps spent time and energy in worthy outside ac tivity. For these things of the students' material world grades and achievements in activities fade and are soon outmoded. But the additions to your personality which come with recognition of new concepts, the new ideas grow ing from your experiences these are the things of worth. Look back again over your achievements in this light, and be ashamed that you have not better taken advantage of your intellec tual opportunities. Be ashamed, but be consoled, there is yet time, in the part of the school year still to come, for you to better your in tellectual achievements. The democratic Omaha World Herald Tuesday morning cited Monday's market rise (when the odds were 5 to 1 on Roosevelt) as evidence of confidence of big busi ness in the governor's ability. How, one wonders now, does it explain what happened on the exchange Wednesday after election of its candidate had been accomplished? Lame Duek Government. nrUESDAY the American people chose a new government, turn ing out the party which has been in power for the last twelve years. The turnover is attributed chiefly to the demand for application of a new set of principles to the prob lems facing the country just at this time. Accomplishment of the change, however, does not become effec tive until next spring. Between now and March intervenes what is expected to be the hardest winter of the depression. What this means is that while the republican pro gram for dealing with the depres sion stands discredited by the American people (we would not at tempt to say whether or not the people are right in their verdict), that program will, nevertheless be the one followed in meeting the immediate crisis which faces the country during the next four months. In other words, the peo ple have decided that present tac tics in the war against depression are not succeeding but can't change those tactics for awhile yet. The democratic party stands at the door with a freshly signed mandate from the electorate to take the job but can't go to work until next spring. 1VTOYV before the states of the ' union is a proposal for a con stitutional change which would substantially reduce the interval which must now elapse between the time the people express their will and the time that expression is made effective the Norris lame duck amendment. Chances that the amendment will be adopted are good. It is highly probable that the present government will be the last lame duck government. But what for the present? It is at such times as the present when a crisis and a demand for immedi ate action face the country that the clumsiness of the present ar rangement is demonstrated. IN .1916, when he thought he was being defeated, President Wil son had decided on an emergency plan which would have met the situation. He had decided that as soon as Hughes was elected, he (Wilson) would appoint him sec retary of state. Then Wilson and the vice president intended to re sign. Hughes would automatically have become president at once and could have gone ahead with his program without waiting until March. When, to his own genuine sur prise, Wilson was re-elected, he of course did not need to go through with his plan. President Hoover might meet the present demand for an imme diate change by doing now what Wilson intended to do in 1916. "Mite boxes" in which to deposit funds for the Nebraska-in-China drive will be used by the Y. W. C. A., the idea, no doubt, being that somebody "might" put some money in them. Alterations Extra. THE glamour of war in its full pus yesterday as the junior cadet officers appeared for the first time attired in their new uniforms. Self consciously and in their best inter pretation of military mien they bore themselves, disporting their gallantry in studied conspicuous ness. But withal, there was a mur mur. A murmur or discontent. For, it seems, not all the uniforms fit their respective cadets to the exact detail of military precision. Here was a shoulder askew, there a half inch slack at a waistline. But that in itself was not the source of the murmur. Here's the rub: The tailoring house which se cured the contract and manufac tured the uniforms refused to make alterations, holding that it had but followed specifications. Alterations, where necessary, must be paid for by the cadets them selves. To the impartial observer, un schooled in the etiquette of custom tailoring, it would seem only fair that the usual extra service of al tering should be furnished by the contractors. The cadets justly re sent the unexpected addition to the cost of their uniforms. Now that it's all over with, col lection of election wagers is almost as hard as trying to find any Hoo ver money after the returns start ed coming in Tuesday night I. 1 Dance Troupe fW CO m-. -i a. . i . ;-',m.W-t" Is .

School of Fine Arts On Nebraska Artists, Achievements For the first time in the history of the state, a relatively complete compilation of the art achieve ments and biograpnies or as mot.i famous artists has been com pleted. It is known as "Nebraska Art and Artists," and has been ed ited bv Clarissa Bucklin, under the sponsorship of the school of fine arts of the university oi Ne braska. The volume contains articles on early art development in the state during pioneer times, Diograpnies of both living and deceased Ne braska artists, developmt of art training in the schools, and out standing art centers such as tne Joslyn memorial in Omaha and the state capitol in Lincoln. The article on "Earlv Artists in Nebraska" was done bv Miss Mar tha Turner, who is connected with the Nebraska State Historical So ciety. Miss Turner begins her nar rative with the art work or ine .In dians and tracing the development to the present day. Included in the article is a group of short biog raphies of Nebraska s leading art ists through the years. This work is followed with a sketch of early Nebraska art teachers. Description of Capitol. An especially fine description of the work done in connection with the erection of the Nebraska state capitol has been written by Prof. Harry F. Cunningham, of -the Uni versity of Nebraska. In it he in terprets the symbolism of the va rious parts of the capitol and the ends which the creators of the plans had in fashioning their schemes. Profesor Cunningham concludes his article as follows: ""Only a complete knowledge of the good things in our rich past a knowl edge that Goodhue possessed above most men could have made possi ble such an epoch making contribu tion to the living art of the pres ent. And this fine thing was Good hue's gift to Nebraska and thru Nebraska to the world. Architects from various parts of the world have already been to Lincoln to study the capitol building. They will continue to come in even greater numbers, for here is one of the very rare contributions to the art that lives forever." Joslyn Memorial. Omaha's new Joslyn memorial has been made the subject matter for an article written by its direc tor, Paul H. Grumman, once the director of the school of fine arts of the University of Nebraska. Grumman describes the building, the interior of which was pat terned with a blending of Egyp tian and Greek Ideas in what the author calls "thoroughly modern Sweaters Cleaned Beautifully Careful cleaning such as we give them makes them new again.. Modern Cleaners Soukup A Westover Call F2377 for Service Appearing in 'The u-w. ...ill n-, . in ruKT I phir' Compiles Booklet combination." He then goes on to outline the plans of his organiza tion, which embrace nearly every type of art work. Dwight Kirsch is the author of an article on the history of the school of fine arts of the Univer sity of Nebraska, tracing its de velopment from its first organiza tion to present times and prac tices. The volume contains a roster of all Nebraska artists and also of the art schools both in colleges, and in secondary schools. KLUB ACCEPTS TEN SKIT APPLICATIONS FOR ANNUAL REVUE (Continued from Page 1). tually sufficient material for two shows," Jack Thompson stated yesterday. "The committee sincerely re grets the necessity of rejecting any of the acts," he continued. Appoint Skit Masters.

"The Merrv confidence the ,' greatest variety of talent and entertainment yet pre senetd in a Thanksgiving Morning Revue," was the statement made by Thompson concerning the skits in the production. PLANS FOR ASSEMBLY NEARING COMPLETION (Continued from Page 1). ing to Professor Arndt. Iowa farmers have evolved a plan whereby it would be possible to put farmers' debts on a sliding scale. As the debts were incurred, when money was much cheaper it is not considered fair that the debts should be repaid when the price of money has doubled and trebled. Under this plan the debts would be paid back in a ratio to the value of the money when it was received. The scheme has evoked much comment and will re ceive attention at the approaching conference, according to Professor Arndt. The sessions of the convention will be held in the Social Science auditorium. Luella Williams Dancing Classes MONDAYS and WEDNESDAYS At 8:30. Beginners Riven extra half hour.
