The Track
Rally.
CONTINUING a custom started last year. N club,
Corn Cobs, and Tassels will lead the student
body tonight In a pre-Big Six track meet rally.
Whole hearted support has been promised by both
pep organizations, but what of the student body?
The annual Big Six track and field champion
ships provides one of the most colorful spectacles
on the conference sports slate. This is especially
true for Cornhuskers with Nebraska entering the
stadium as one of the four favorites to cop the title.
But not only from a partisan standpoint should the
meet prove thrilling to the sports fan. Great per
formers will be here to exhibit their wares.
Despite the exhibition of fierce competition of
fered by a track meet, it seems to be the usual cus
tom to neglect the cinder sport. In fact, any sport
but football draws but a minimum of attention
from the student body. It would not be amiss at
all for the Husker campus to do an about face and
this year give its whole hearted support to the
track squad.
The first chance to exhibit this spirit will be
given tonight at the rally. Last year, sponsors at
tained a fair degree of success in getting a large
turn out. This year there should be an even larger
crowd of enthusiasts, for not only is the squad to
be honored, but Coach Henry Schulte who has for
many years faithfully served Nebraska athletics.
Sponsors of the rally understand the difficulty
of attaining their desired ends. If there is whole
hearted support it will be somewhat out of the or
dinary, even for football rallies. Yet it is a worthy
attempt Nobody's dignity will be Injured in the
slightest by showing a good measure of Cotnhusker
spirit tonight.
'A Sermon for
High School Athletes.
WORDS of wisdom and sound advice which might
well be noted by all persons often fail to reach
those whom it will do the most good and the utter
ance appear to be wasted. Perhaps such a case
was that of a recent sermon written by Frederick
Ware, World Herald sports commentator, and
columnist, in discussing the case of Harold Brill,
brilliant freshman grid aspirant whose scholastic
difficulties led to hUt departure from school early
in May.
Papers in Brill's home town of Norton, Kas.,
took up the fight when some time ago, they al
leged, Mr. Ware held Brill up as being smart in
athletics but a dummy In school. Mr. Ware re
taliated with a denial that such was his implica
tion, but pointed out that prowess on the field of
athletics and in the classroom are two distinctly
different things, and being fitted for one does not
necessarily mean being favored for the other.
What Is wrong, Mr. Ware says, inthe case of
most promising athletes who run into scholastic
difficulties In college Is that their high school
teachers have fallen down on the Jon and allowed
them to slip thru high school wjth an education
which could in no way prepare them for the more
strenuous and comprehensive work which is re
quired of the university student
And right there is where Mr. Ware hit upon
an undeniable truth. Legion are the cases of high
school perhaps even grade school star athletes
who romp to glory in athletics but are thrown for
a loss In the test of intelligence. The mere fact that
a boy has difficulties in his studies is no basis for
criticism, -but when those difficulties are the result
of lnattentlveness to school work the opposite is
certainly true. And when this lnattentlveness on

Every pupil who enters high school should re
ceive bis training not only in specified courses of
study but also in character building. Certainly the
practice of making little idols of athletes and ex
tending them special privileges has no part in
building strong character. On the other hand, it
warps the pliable adolescent mind with thought of
self-grandeur and sends out Into the world a person
with an exalted opinion of himself and seeking
favors above his fellows.
There is little hope for a young man doomed to
such an attitude towards life. Sooner or later he
will realize the battle of life is fought in many
places besides on the field of. athletic combat He
will learn that intelligence, self-confidence instead
of over-confidence, and a feeling of equality rather
than superiority to his fellow man are needed, and
that in these qualities he Is deficient

The University of Nebraska, with a noble

Oxford Instructor Would
Teach Against Evils of
Nationalism.
SUGGESTS COOPERATION
(Br Calkte Newa Mervlea.)
Precipitated by demonstrations
against war in American colleges
and universities, the question of
education for world peace this
week was forecast In academic aft
er dinner gossip.
Foremost of the commentators,
Gilbert Murray, Regius Professor
of Greek at Oxford university,
foresees years of energetic change
to produce in the average man the
sort or mental attitude in which
the Kellogg Pact to outlaw war can
live.
"Thruout the wide fields of edu
cation it seemed as if humanity
had learned the lesson of the World
least the stli rings of a great world
loyalty," said Murray, who is also
president of the International Com
mittee of Intellectual Co-operation
and chairman of the League of Na
tions Union
"Meanwhile had come various
nationalist movements, beginning
perhaps in the Fascist march upon
Rome and culminating in the Hit
ler revolution." he continued. "In
100 percent, but until the incoming freshman ath- Germany," he said, "the pursuit of
lete realizes that his school work must come first
the case of Harold Brill and many before him will
be repeated many times, and experience once more
will be made a bitter teacher.
Advisors
Without Advice.
T AST week students
who expect to be back in
school next year went thru the wads of red tape
thrust upon them biannually by registration. In an
effort to help solve the problems presented by maze present, no direct frontal attack on
'objective truth' is frowned upon.
The teachings in schools is a very
strange mixture of megalomanic
delusions, all tending to substitute
for education a deliberate poison
ing of the minds of the young."
Murray would combat this na
tionalistic trend with a "great edu
cational revolution," which implies
a change from the old habit of re
garding foreigners as creatures to
he conquered and killed.
"It seems clear that, for the
of blanks and class schedules, the university set
up some time ago the advisor system. Yet it is at
the advisors that most of the criticism concerning
registration problems is directed.
Incompetency and ignorance of class schedules,
require courses, and suggested electives on the
part of advisors figure most prominently in the
statements of disgruntled registrants. There will be
more wails next fall when courses approved by the
supposedly informed advisor do not turn out as expected.
It is not against the system that criticism is
directed for the majority of cases it has proved of
immeasureable aid. It is the selection of advisors
that could undergo a revision. The faculty member
whose duty it is to affix his signature to the stu
dent's registration blank, should be adequately in
formed as to schedules, prequisites, requirements,
and electives. Otherwise the student is left as much
in the dark as if there were no advisor.
If more care were used in naming certain
faculty members as advisors, a great deal of dis
satisfaction on the part of both the student and bis
instructor would be averted.
education in Germany would have
any chanoe of success," Murray
said. "The one possibility and the
first necessity is to stop the Infec
tion from sprouting It will be a
great thing if we can induce those
nations- which are still sane to
stand together for objective truth
and International understanding."
The educator suggested an inter
national "reference book" on inter
national co-operation and revised
histories, to be assimilated by "free
choice," as the best possible weap
on in combatting the present problem.

champions, holdovers from
the 1934 season, are on hand to de
fend their marks, and the six, Dees
in the shot; Bard Ward, Oklahoma,
in the 440; Knappenberger, Kansas
State, high hurdles; Short, Mis

pole vault, are counted on to re

May.
K-Ags Favored.
The fight for individual count

thjn that for team honors, and,
from all indications, a new confer

be crowned at the conclusion of
the Saturday events.
Ward Hayletta Kansas State

out by experts and would-be ex

K-Ags are conference Indoor title
holders, and come to Lincoln with
a small but mighty group of point
winners headed by Justus O'Relly,
distance runner, and Joe Knappen
berger, hurdler and sprinter.
Oklahoma is the favored team
for second place, with Nebraska,
and Kansas trailing and Iowa
State and Missouri scrapping to
stay out of the cellar.
Nebraska hopes of staying in
the one-two running rest on the
number of seconds and thirds the
Schultemen can drag out of the
quagmire. As the dopesters see
it, any of the six teams has an out
side chance at the title if the lead
ers whack away at each other's
total column too severely. Ne
braska fans will also hope that the
Kansas State and Oklahoma dis
tance men split their points, the
Husker entries being none too
strong, and will then depend on a
clean-up in the dashes to shove the
Scarlet banner to the fore.
THERE'S Just a bit of irony in
Germany's legislative body. The

power. It doesn't even meet unless
he wants it to, and then only to
