VriTH "V men of other yeara gathered around the field, student spirit soaring to unpre cedented heights, the eyes of the state and nation centered on Memorial stadium, and the Husker team determined to defeat the mighty Pittsburgh Panther the stage is completely and colorfully set for the Nebraska-Pitt game Saturday afternoon at 2 o clock at the stadium. Not since 1921 has a Husker team trimmed the machine from the Smoky City, but this, declare grid players and fans, is the Nebraska year. Each team has lost only one game, those losses being de feats at the hands of Minnesota. The Gophers trimmed the Sutherland team at Pittsburgh 13 to 7; the former team trounced Nebraska 20 to 0. Com parative scores would seem to the casual observer to favor the Panther tnira in tomorrow's tussle with the Biblemen. Fans, however, should remember that Nebraska is always weaker, somewhat weaker In fact, on foreign sod than at home. In fact Bible teams are noted for their invincibility on Lincoln ground, the teams under this veteran and esteemed mentor having lost no games at home since 1930. Remember too, that Pittsburgh played Minnesota on the Panther field. Well, the stage is set. Comparisons of scores point to neither team as top favorite. If there is a difference where will that difference lie? It will come In spirit. Student body determination has placed itself back of the team, the team is grimly determined to teach the confident easterners some new lessons in football, and bcause of this attitude it will do so! There are several more rallies scheduled to be held preceding the game, Friday morning at 11 o'clock classes will be excused and students win rally on the mall north of Social Sciences. Team coaches and Game Captain Franklin Meier will be among those scheduled to speak at the morning pep demonstration. Over 3,000 are expected to gather around the rmge bonfire north of the coliseum Friday night at 7o clock. Several short talks will be featured. The . student who misses this demonstration wia lose an experience that would live in his mind for lifetime. ' A huge student body, massed around the fire, de claring their support to the team is a spine-thriller for all present. Finally, Saturday morning at 11 o'clock Ne braska's R. O. T. C regiment will parade in the stadium, pay tribute to the team with a few yells and songs before the Armistice day parade. It is highly important that a large quantity of wooden boxes and crates be secured for the Tire Friday evening. All organizations and students who can do so are urged to bring fuel of that sort to the site of the demonstration. As the only Big Six school able to boast of a real first class IntersecUonal schedule Nebraska will be fighting for both the grid reputation of the school and that of this section. Pittsburgh is known as one of the best if not the best team In the east. The only other eleven that could possibly rival the Panthers in sectional favoritism is Princeton, and that team doesn't sport a schedule comparable In difficulty to the Smoky City team's program. Annual F all Election Came. With platforms published in the Thursday Daily Nebraskan, and wordy statements made by fac tion presidents, the Green Toga and Progressive political parties burst into the campus picture yes terday with fail elections only five days off. " From now until the time of elections a small tninctlty of university students wUl be prancir.g around at fever beat because of the imminent elec--tkracf class officers. Honorary Colonel, and Ne braska Sweetheart. Altho such an affair isn't cf grat importance to the Institution it does consti tute newsworthy game, interesting because of its similarity in tactics to general public elections. It is true that in contrast to other elements on the campus and in the university program, stu dent elections are a rather preposterous farce. It is true also that there is a lot of plotting, griping, .arguing fighting, dirty politics, promising, decep tion, and tearing of hair over something of minimum importance. But are elections deplorable and condemnable merely because they are held with hollow nothing ness for prizes? We must admit that we all would get a K of fun out of doing the silly things that win be done until next Tuesday evening. In fact many of us have done those very things. So let's look at the thing in the right light, don't take it too seriously (except Junior men and women I, and have our fun. The platforms are splendid imitations in point of political appeal, ambiguity, and general empti ness of national and state political party platforms. The Nebraskan, however, repeats that class jfficers should be given some duties. The student council should provide some work for the junior Iclaes president or abolish the position. Exactly what th.u ahnnlrt An la In return tho rhnlrrnannhln of thn MIV " . M V. ...w g- 'prom committee to the head of that class. We repeat that senior class organization would be good tonic for the university and a too weak alumni organization. Seniors should organise under the leadership of the class president with the view in mind of working for the betterment of the uni versity as an alumni group after graduation. STUDENT PULSE Brief, concise contributions pertinent to matters of Student Ufa and the university are welcomed by this department, under the usual restrictions of sound news paper practice, which excludes alt libelous matter and personal attacks. Letters must be signed, but namea will be withheld from publication if so desired. Contributions should be limited to a maximum of Ave hundred words In length. A University With a Bustle. This is the twentieth century. In this age of speed and efficiency a student graduating from a university faces a different problem than did those who started life in the easy going eighties or "gay nineties." Presumably his university is geared to prepare him to compete in this speedier age. He spends four trusting years four years very unpro ductive financially in the hope that he will gain in the end. But will he be like the boy who learned to swim in the bath tub and drowned when he was thrown into a rough sea? The world has made some fundamental changes in the last half century; many basic, social, and economic changes have occurred even In the last four jears. The university has added a new depart ment here and a new subject there to meet the new order, but it operates on the same basic plan it used in the gay nineties. The Nebraska education sys tem is as old-fashioned as side burns and bustles. We still stick to daily text assignments, sterotyped recitations, and methods that teach students to be good puppets If nothing else. This university could profit from the example of the more progressive Chicago university. There the student with ability is not held down by the less fortunate students, for every one is on his cwn. Studying is largely left to the student's initia tive. He may attend classes or not, as he chooses, for he is considered old enough to shape his own life. For the first two years he studies general subjects, selected with only a slight emphasis on the field he intends to specialize in. At the end of that time, or sooner if he feels competent, he takes seven comprehensive examinations, each six hours long. If he has mastered that material he passes on to a more specialized study. All grading marks are abolished, for tbey may mean anything. Instead the only guage is the success in the comprehensive tests. Are students at Chicago more mature on the whole than here at Nebraska? The difference, if any exists, is probably slight Nebraska youths are fired with enough ambition to succeed in work done on their initiative. Chicago's plan, which his had over three years of successful trial, could be applied here just as well. As a result students would learn early in life that success depends upon personal application. The better students would be free to advance, their speed determined only by their powers of learning. No doubt a large number of students, who are able to 'get by" under the present system, would find them selves unequal to the task of applying themselves, and would never graduate. That would be unfortu nate! Too many college graduates would be farther along if they bad spent the four years driving a truck. Chicago university reports that with the new system students have a better realization of the purpose of university training, show more respect for the courses, and a larger number are enthusi astic, and do more reading. There is no reason why Nebraska students would not respond in the same manner. CONTEMPORARY COMMENT Ag Column BY DICK JACKSON and GORDON HOBERT Thursday morning the Ag cam pus was host to about 225 boys and girls from the junior high schools of Lincoln. Tnese stuaents repre sented the Civic leagues, an organ Ization of the social science classes. The purpose of this league is to promote vocational education tours to the various institutions and business firms in Lincoln. Before each tour the students make a special study of the activ ity or business that they are espe cially interested in and then visit these places prepared to ask ques tions. When they return to their schools they make reports on the trio and 'ead discussions on the subjects they have chosen. In their trip to the Ag campus yesterday, the groups were in structed in several interesting lines of study. The boys group was shown the principles of "livestocK production" by Walter Tolman. Dr, T. H. Gooding explained "larm Leeds and grain" and C. C Wig' pans demonstrated "landscape gar dening." The girls were taught tho value oi foods and nutrition by Miss Peters and were given a dem onstratlon cn "fruit growing" by W. W. Yocum. D. B. Whelan ex plained "bee culture" and F. E. Mussehl, "poultry raising." Omaha day, the annual "play day" for all South Omaha s em ployers and employees, will give more life to Ag campus, Saturday morning, according to R. R. Thai man of the A. G. department, who has planned an elaborate program for the morning. After the customary parade from the depot and through the business district the group will as semble in the A. H. Judging pavil ion on Ag campus. Prof. H. J. Gramllch will open the program and will be followed by a demon' stration of "Hells Popin" by ColO' nel Frankfurter who has a few tricks with explosives. Other events on the program are a few words in regard to the present Nebraska football team by George Sauer, a "harmonica" solo by Art Elliott, and a "sports review" by Gregg McBnde, the "arm chair quarter back." OFFICIAL BULLETIN N Club. All members of the N club are asked by their president. Franklin Meier, to wear their lettered sweaters all day Friday during all the rallies. Botanist O. E. Sperry Reveals That Cobs and Tassels Should Exchange Names If They Want to Be Correct. (Continued from Page 1.) tive appendage." And so the Corn Cobs, from the day of their founding in 1921, have been rabidly effeminate in name at least, and the Tassels, organized in 1924 tinder the sponsorship of Mortar Board, have been doing right well as the masculinely named pep group. To draw any hasty conclusions from the rather ridiculous situation would he a wt unfair, especially since, in the words of the worthy Corn Cob president, "Nothing much can be done about it!" Curfew Ring Only for Coeds. We Americans are proud of our modern idei. With the emancipation of women we definitely left the Middle Ages behind us. Educated and forward looking men and women would be appalled at the idea of giving up any part of woman's lately won equality. But don't let them fool you. The battle is not yet over; justice and equality still take devi ous ways curfew rings only for coeds! The general trend in the attitude toward col lege students is to regard them as adulU. We have abolished the old cut system, we allow and encour age student self-government, and in all things we proceed upon the assumption that university stu dents are mature Individuals. Nevertheles, univer sity women are still treated as children in the mat ter of curfew. If the institution must determine its children's bedtime, certainly there should not be more conslderaUon shown to men than to women. Any psychologist will admit that suroen ma ture earlier than men. Educators agree that girls in universities make higher marks than do men. So rority point averages on our own campus are much higher than those of fraternities. If the purpose of late-bour restrictions is to encourage better scholarship, It would be well to give a little mascu line encouragement also. In explanation of the lack of similar rulings for men, it Is often said that after the coeds have retired, men also return to their domiciles; but a survey of campus hangouts, hamburger stands, and the like after closing hours will give evidence to the contrary. All in all, it appears that we have not com pletely outgrown our antediluvian conceptions of morality and manners. Any fair-minded person ought to concede that the present regulations are unfair. Ardent feminists would doubtless say cur few for men or no curfew at all. Our own prefer ence would be for none at aiL The Minnesota Daily.
