Attend the
Senior Meeting.
MEMBERS of the senior class today will turn
from business to pleasure. Last week end they
attended the tea dance, planned as the first move in
the campaign to solidify the graduating class. Mem
bers of the committee have called the mass meet
ing this afternoon in order to present further plans
and to make articulate the class as a whole.
The committee is faced with no easy task. In
the first place It must secure and hold the support
of the class. This in itself is a man-sized Job. Stu
dents on this campus are not noted for their rushing
to surround the standard. An encouraging degree
of enthusiasm, however, has been shown.
Provision must be made for some sort of an
executive body which in the future will take charge
of the work from year to year. This, at the pres
ent time, Is providing the biggest problem. There
must be no loophole left through which typical petty
campus politics can sneak to disturb the equilibrium
of the organization.
Projects which will undoubtedly prove of future
benefit to the university are under way. Every
senior Is urged to do his part by attending the meet
ing tonight
Working Their
Way.
TIFTY percent of the men and 85 percent of the
women on the Nebraska campus are helping
themselves through school by the sweat of their
collective brows, according to figures released re
cently by university officials. This should put a
damper on those who like to argue that pleasure is
the main objective in going to college, but it also
provides a disturbing question.
Students who are having a tough struggle with
financial difficulties in their dash for a degree would
do well to ask themselves If they are receiving all
thtit they should from their university work. Are
they, handicapped as they are by extra work, able
to assimilate enough to repay them for the time and
energy upent?
Our elders are fond of telling about the long
hours they spent in raking up enough cash to pay
lor their educations, but at the same time they will
udmit thut it might not have been worth the candle.
They will admit that after having spent hours over
dirty dishes or firing a furnace they were not so
eager to explain Greshsm's law or find out what
makes an amoeba tick.
Students today have had the same experience.
With senses dulled by hours of work, or by the late
hours necessary in order to make up for time lost
through outside labor, textbooks and classrooms are
not as attractive as they might be. A dull routine
Is formed. The student becomes a mechanical robot
and only that work which is absolutely necessary to
pass a course is performed. Wider fields for dis
covery and exploration are forgotten. The true goal
of a college education, awakening of an intellectual
curiosity, is never realized.
Students who are willing to work in order to
go to school are to be commended for their earnest
ness and seriousness in the quest for knowledge. But
the serious doubt about whether they receive in full
measure what they expend still remains.
A Word to the
Neic Corn Cobs.
AST night you became members of Corn Cobs,
the Nebraska chapter of PI Epsilon Pi, national
pep organization. Within a short time you will take
over active control of the chapter, and what the
Cobs will write into the record book next year will
be within your control.
The record of the organization during the past
few years has been none too bright. It has suffered
from the same ailments that have infected all other
campus activities lethargy and too much petty
politics. Last year the group was suspended by the
Student council for inactivity and for too much po
litical maneuvering. Too often had the offices of
Corn Cobs been used as a stepping stone to the sen
ior honorary. Members had become uninterested,
refusing to turn out for meetings or for rallies.
The organization was let back on the campus
last year under a new constitution and the promise
that it would rebuild itself into a real and function
ing pep group. Despite the loss of its chief source
of revenue, it has done that to a great extent Great
er Interest has been shown by Individual members.
More enthusiasm has been evidenced at the rallies.
And yet there is more room for improvement
Tassels, the women's pep organization, has distin
guished itself for its activity. The men need not
lag behind. There has been an indication this year
that in the near future control of rallies will be
given back to the pep organizations. Continued
lethargy, however, will not bring about completion
of this plan. There are other fields Into which the
Cobs as a group could delve. v
The campus is in need of activity groups that
actually function. On the other hand the campus
should not hesitate to use the pruning shears on
deadwood. It is for the new Corn Cobs to place
their group definitely out of the latter class.
Contemporary
Comment
Everybody
Knows Him.
An apple a day may keep the
doctor away, but according to
many of the best authorities on the
subject, a well-polished apple la the
best insurance against keeping low
grades out of the professor's rec
ord. That Is, figuratively speak
ing. The apple polisher is a familiar
figure at Pennsylvania. He swag
gers Into class, brushing by his
classmates in an effort to be the
first to catch the instructor's
glance. He tries to lead every dis
cussion In class, and usually man
ages to repeat the professor's own
thought in slightly different words,
passing the idea off as his own.
If a classmate falters during a
recitation his hand Is the first to
reach for the celling. He is a past
master at reciting with his book
open in his lap.
But the confirmed apple polisher
is at his best at the close of class.
He regrets that there are only ten
minutes between periods, but he
has learned to make the most of
his brief opportunity. When class
is dismissed, he makes a dash for
the desk at the front of the room,
and engages the not-too-interested
professor In conversation upon any
point The topic is unimportant;
the main thing is to allow his per
sonality to radiate and impress his
subject so completely that the
name of Jules Cohen cannot possi
bly escape the memory of the
most absent-minded professor.
The strange truth about the mat
ter is that this shallow individual
actually gets past first base with
bis superficial tactics. But be pay
for bis grades whether he realizes
it or not. If being despised by
evryone who sees him In operation
is not a handsome price for an A
we've got the wrong slant on the
whole situation.

No longer do we have to turn
on radio programs featuring Stoop
nagle and Budd, Fred Allen, or
even Joe Penncr, In a desperate
search for amusement. We have
merely to listen to Hugh Johnson
caterwauling about "musical blat
ant bunk from the rostrum of re
ligion" in reference to Father
Coughlin, or another "Pied-Piper
(Huey Long! tooting; on a penny
whistle." all the while mixing his
idioms in a grandloquent style that
is the despair of professional co
medians. The newspapers also pro
vide farcial tilts, with the highly
electric crackles of the buffoon
from Louisiana alternating with
the heavy artillery of Senator Rob
inson. The wonder is that the pro
fessional comedians don't unionize
in an attempt to preserve their in
terests SJid Bend a lobby to con
gress. Congressional competition, bow
ever, sems to be well started, and
we suspect that the honorable sen
ators would regard this lobby with
grave disapproval, as an attempt
to impinge on their senatorial
rights and privileges. The pity is
that the radio, so Justly famed for
providing the populace with what
thy want is not yet installed in
our parliamentary chambers.
Some wrrow may be expressed
by devotees when philharmonics,
orchestras, radio dramas, and the
like are forced off the ether; but
carpers must remember that a
greater good will be served. Who
knows, the nation may laugh itself
out of the depression, despite a few
fatalities among the more weakly
constituted who are unable to
stand the strain of an eight-hour
laughing jag each day.
The possibilities have been only
partly explored. "Stand by every
body. We are about to present
the comic opera entitled "The
Klngfish Departs from his Baton
Rouge Aquarium in an Attempt to
Get in the National Swim." "A
shark named farley," continues the
narrator, "is threatening to gobble
up the miserable invader" . . And
won't the senators howl with glee,
and the radio listeners each rock
back and forth in helpless mirth
when they hear a few sombre
stooges inquire "what about the
public works program and the fu
ture of the NRA."

It's pretty bad when a fellow
like Era Lown of the Univertity
Player Lowns, goes In for white
mice. It's worse, however, to coop
aid mice up in a two inch wire
holder, which looks like a minia
ture popcorn popper. This poor
creature was locked securely in
this cage-affair, and on the out
side of the cage was a hunk of
cheese and a piece of stale dough
nut. It is doubtful whether or not
the little animal even got any air,
as it was shoved In the cubby-hole
of a certain faculty member's
desk, when last seen. It Is about
two Inches long and a very harm
less looking creature, so if any
one should happen to take pity on
it, they might plan a rescue party.

Clifford M. Hicks of Phi Beta
Kappa. Prof. D. A. Worcester is
president of Sigma Xl.
Announcements of these two
meetings have been sent to over
500 members of the two societies
living in or near Lincoln. Stu
dents from the honor list of the
university and families of inter
ested students also received invi
tations to hear Dean Boucher.
Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest of
Greek letter fraternities, being
founded in 1776 at William and
