The Daily Nebr ground and About By Sarah Louise Meyer. ASKA Official Student Newspaper of the University of Nebraska VOL. XXXV NO. 121. LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1936. PRICE 5 CENTS. N I. ' I' 1 ? U'd Vidua mir sti.rfiPHt thoughts while we flog downtown to work after lunch. It seems fitting that one should be stuffy during such a scramble on a surfeited stomach. Howsomever in the quaint jargon of a Beta-fled paternal ancestor) we were ruminating recently on the compensations of the have nots. By this we do not mean the proj ects of the cheerful souls who want to buy merchandise now on a sol diers' bonus of June or the dreams of aged optimists who would easily handle payments on a house from their joint Townsend pensions. We mean the gawdy bow tie and well groomed mustache of the tall, bat tered man with the limp. We mean the wandering, puffy evasions of professors who don't know the answer. We mean the blase man ner of campus puddle-jumpers, who. as is said, "thereby display their extreme immaturity. We mean the oratory of those whose brilliance might else go unnoticed. We mean tho gush of aspiring so cial butterflies. We mean the swaggering of little fellows. We mean the cold scorn of unappre ciated connoisseurs.- For compensations are the scar tissues which attempt to hide a hurt or defect. Pathetically they fool no one but their possessor. And so, topping the list of "we means" is the delusion of bespec tacled, flat-heeled women "who write things" that their copy is anything but second rate filler with a by-line. A big, full throated cheer of the Bronx variety for those weak-kneed, lily livrtd profes sors of this campus who call tests "written reviews" or "op portunities to write" instead of "tests" or "quizzes." If they're going to have the unmitigated gall to spring the things on stu dents who really have several other courses to study too, they should have the nerve to call them by their right name. It's like the weather man's being afraid to say "continued hot" when the thermometer has been over 110 for two weeks hand running. People-ogue: That young man in overalls with the nice smile, who assured us that the bus had not gone, must have been too busy with his raking ... An affection ate mongrel, impatiently ordered about as "Peter" by a nervous girl carrying a suit case . . . Several blocks on, a classy looking colored lad who hung his head also car rying a suitcase ... A loudly jov ial white haired man with several large parcels . . . The razzle-dazzle female with many .mussed curls and hat low over one eye who turned a smile toward the canary noises at .10th .and O ... The greasy .haired, shovel-nosed lad with- thumbs under overall straps sunning himself with other jobless he looked like a high school classmate ... The pinch faced man with a tenderly held right arm swathed In towels ... And a small gentleman with heavy lidded brown eyes talking familiarly of the double standard and dictators. And now will some child psychologist step forward with a neat analysis of and explanation for the actions of a young high school girl In Onawa. Ia. recently. Saying "Come on and watch me commit suicide," to several com panions, she drank a vial of poison and died before aid could reach her. She had melodramatically written letters thanking her teach ers for having been nice to her, to her class mates for having elected her president of the senior class, and had given her class ring to a chum before waiting too long to change her mind. How could she have done it more dramatical ly, more heroically? How could she have done such a damned fool thing? Would she have done it alone ?
