REHABILITATION of Nebraska's R. 0. T. C. nand is to be undertaken in the immediate future that the organization might assume more manifestation of attainment and less the rale of a vicarious sacrifice. With the military department delegating the instructor and su pervising the drilling in a more meticulous manner the outcome of the reformation is 'wgerlv awaited by the student body. The present band, hereafter, will be fed by a sep arate band for freshmen, apprenticeship in .which will be a prerequisite to admission into the advanced band. Each bandsman, further more, will be supplied with a pamphlet of drill regulations compiled by Charles Ledwith un der the auspices of the military department. To see that some manner of effort is put forth bv those students being exposed to the drill, Colonel Oury has declared that an an"na: tion over this material is to constitute halt oi the final grade in band each semester. In the hope that the band will ultimately become a recognition worth striving for, 100 new uniforms for the band are to be tailored during the summer. Old uniforms will be worn in times of inclement weather and for practice 'purposes. Freshmen will wear this year's uni forms. Decked out in white coats, red trou sers and West Point dress caps these veterans .will be the sole performers at athletic contests the freshman unit merely occupying part of !the stand. During warm weather the band will doff the plumes for an overseas cap. such as the R. 0. T. C. sponsors now wear, and will 'remove their coats. With white shirts, red ties and the red trousers containing a white stripe, the band will then look equally impres sive during the warmest days. i All this is being done that Nebraska's band might stand out as one of the finest ia the colleges of the United States. No other band will have more colorful uniforms. Nu merous have been the criticisms launched 'against this particular unit because students honestly felt that it was not colorful enough; not well trained and uninterested in present ing a distinctive performance. Playing a vital part, as it does, in student morale at auspi cious occasions, the band oft times determines the success or failure of a particular demon stration. Nothing is so impressive as a well drilled, well schooled and smoothly perform ing band. Coupled with brilliant uniforms next years unit should create a stirring sight. Limiting membership to 100, enforcing the 'additional stipulation of one j'ear's appren ticeship in the freshman group, can not but help to improve the organization as it now stands. Weeding out the undesirables, pro- viding a training ground for the yearlings without at the same time halting the progress of the entire unit should work to the ultimate good of Nebraska's band. As the situation joimerly rested, the veteran member paid not the slightest attention to what the instructor was saying to the new members and the latter were not well trained enough to respond to '. what they did hear. Membership in the band will not only in crease the individual's prestiee but at the same time will mitigate those extraneous duties for merly imposed upon all band members. To the freshman band will tro the drudgeries of accompanying rallies, political speeches and such irksome duties. No longer will it be nec essary to excuse poor showings with such .statements that the band has had "only one practice because some of the members are . freshmen." i Soon Nebraska's band will become some- thing worth achievement: membership Mill be come more exclusive and meritorious. It is only natural that when this time comes it will ; hold., a much hipher place of esteem in the mind of the student body. When Nebraska's . future band marches in review there will be ' no doubt as to ihe superior caliber exhibited. More praise and congratulation to those ex pendinsr that extra effort necessary for the ; final attainment cf one of the best university '. bands in the nation. CONTEMPORARY COMMENT '. Mutt They Co . To College? One of the reasons that the youth of the United States is going to college in such large '. numbers today is because of public opinion. Tha boys and girls think they have other res ! vrns for attempting to secure a hieher educa tion. Hit for the most part they go to college "-ibecaTIs it is expected of them. During the last ten years there has been an increasing conviction that you cannot get anywhere in this world unless you have one degree and pos sibly two or three. So from the small towns and the laige towns come the boys and girls to learn to be achool teachers and artists and journalists. They have unfailing belief in the that when they graduate from college they will fa I into good professions or positions at. good sal aries. They want to go to college to learn to be somebody or something. . True, college does help many and it is necessarv to some in order that they learn the basic principles of the profession for which they are best fitted but what of the misfits? What about the girl who goes to college so that she may be a school teacher and yet is only marking time until she is married? What of the farm boy who decided that he is weary of tilling the soil and because he likes the looks of big things like bridges, is certain that his calling is civil engineering and so goes to college, is a poor engineer, really a failure in life, yet never realizes that his true calling is being behind a plow? Or the boy who de cides that everyone else is going to school, he is going, too. He isn't going to work and slave all his life as his blacksmith father did before him. He goes to college and in effort to pick a nice genteel profession decides to be an accountant, graduates after strenuous studv, but is never able to keep a job for any length of time. And so the world gets a poor accountant when it could have had really a first class garage mechanic. The rich and the poor, the dumb and the intellectual, they go to college because it is expected of them. They suffer hardships be cause they have no money, or they cannot, learn, or they haven't the proper background, or they don't seem to fit in. They learn to wear evening clothes, to dance, to "go social," or to get along on nothing at all, but they never learn to amount to much. They would be infinitely happier at home in the element for which they are best suited. Why couldn't the dumb but wealthy girl stay at home and enjoy herself, get married and not worry the professors to death? And the poor and not too smart girl stay home and clerk in a store or work in a telephone office where she doesn't have to do much thinking, instead of going to school, worrying over money, and making no grades? Why couldn't the girl who was raised only to marry, stay at home and marry, not waste her time flirting with boys in class rooms, since these boys probably couldn't af ford to get married if they wanted to? Or the boy who belongs on a farm stay on the farm, or if he goes to college, study ag riculture, not law; and the boy who really could run a grocery store or fruit market on a paying basis, do that and not study medicine? And let those who really have callings toward law, or medicine, or accounting, or teaching, or engineering, study these things? The only way in which matters could be righted is by the alteration of public opinion and it takes time for public opinion to change even for little things. But when the public does change on this matter then those who don't want to go to college and those who shouldn't go to college can stay at home and have a clear conscience and a peaceful mind. Daily 0 'Collegian. Wasting An Opportunity. Mass production and its consequent evils have come to American colleges, resulting in the steady outpouring every June of an in ferior, standardized product, a "factory meth od" which thwarts the development of genu ine leaders among the rising generations. Pres ident Few said in effect last week at Chatta nooga. "We should be trying to build a few lead ers instead of a great horde of second raters." said Dr. Few, who advocated higher fees and stricter entrance requirements as steps toward limiting the number of youth who enter col leges. It is quite true that colleges in this coun try open their doors to far greater numbers of students than do the universities in several of Europe's leading nations, which allow only a very selected minority to receive higher edu cation. America conceives education as the riylit of every man. Thus it has set up free grammar and secondary schools. The tendency is ever growing stronger toward free colleges also. Dr. Few has expressed himself as opposed to this contemporary theory in advocating the limiting of the number of college graduates. And the stand Dr. Few has taken is right, for opening the college doors to large numbers entails of necessity a general lowerins of the standard of the intellectual training given. As a consequence, the better students, those who by receiving more advanced, more specialized education could rise far above the average, are held in check and America thereby loses po tentially exceptional leaders of industry, fi nance, diplomacy. True, America is not, nor has it ever been, without leaders. WTe have often heard it said that Americans are continually outfoxed by European diplomacy. But ever since the birth of the ration we have sent envoys to foreign courts who have out-maneuvered some of Europe's most astute diplomats. But we could have more, and even supe rior leaders if we provided suitable environ ment for t.ie.r trainine. The proLiem resolves itself into this: We must choose between America's well inten tioned but hardly satisfactory ideal of equal intellectual opportunity for all which will in sure raising the eeneral intelligence level but which on the other hand will impede the de velopment of gifted leaders, and a limiting of the higher educational field to only those who show inherent tendencies and capabilities which if properly nurtured will be of great benefit to society. This latter alternative does set at a lower plane the level of ligenee, b this is more than offset br the un usually superior leadership which is the result If the tendency toward eventual opening of hieher education to the great majority con tinues, as seems likely, the solution to the" prob lem must be the segregation of college students imo two categories, the potentially exception al. and the average. This is not an undesir able solution. We shall get our needed lead- era, and at the same time we ahull hae an in telligent following. Duke Chronicle. i T Elaborate Production Has Cast of 400; Setting Is Amphitheater.

Coach Sohulta, staying true to his Ideas of "looking for trje wont," refused to give the Hus kers better than an avtn chance In their dual track meet with the Kansas Aggies here In Lin coln Friday afternoon. The dual affair la to start at 1 o'clock sharp In order that the field may be clear for tha qualifiers In the atata track meet later that afternoon. While tha Hus kera are atrong In the field events and the dashes, Coach Schulte expects plenty of trou ble In the distance runs and re lays. Speaking of track, this state meet to be held In the stadium Friday and Saturday will be no slow affair. Looking over the records and near records made all season by the various schools thruout the state, it appears that nearly all present records are in danger. Newton of North Platte and Bradford of Mitchell are prob ably two of the best to watch. There will be close to 700 high school athletes In town over the week end. A fine chance for them to see the university and the Hus ker track squad in action. It will be exhibitions such as the one Friday afternoon that will have a lot to do in influencing the high schoolers to attend Nebraska. Nebraska golfers meet Kan sas university here Friday after noon in a return match. Gene Zuspann led the way among the qualifiers Monday with a 73. The soggy condition of the course made good shooting dif ficult. McEntire had a 77, Kre mer a 79, and Hunt another 79. Whitey Reed went off to a bad 83 which put him out of this week end's play. The Husker golfers have held up their end of the minor sports this season in fine shape. Winning far more than the majority of their matches with other Big Six schools they appear as one of the best for the finals to be played here the same week end of the conference track meet. The Tigers have come back into their own now with an 8 to 3 vic tory over Cleveland. Turning nine hits into six runs in four innings, the Detroiters drove Cleveland's hurler, Allen, out of the box and willing to fight Cochrane or any body else that suggested it. The win put the Tigers into the first division of the American league, a position they didn't hold until well into the season last year. Nowacek Speaks on Policy Municipally Owned Firms Charles G. Nowacek, '35, spoke on the accounting policy of mu nicipally owned electric utilities in Nebraska Friday before the social science division of the Nebraska Academy of Science. Nowacek holds a business research scholarship. Prof. John Gamble Kirkwood, Cornell chemist, has been awarded the 1936 Lanrmuir award of $ 1,000. College Newspapers Serve As Mirror For Their Schools College newspapers serve as an excellent minor for the school they represent. Most publications indicate by their size, makeup, features, departments, and editorials a fairly accurate n dure of the college or university. They snow tne atiixuae ana trends o fthe students, and reflect the spirit ot the part ol me countrv to which they belong. p Tbe west coast is the home of several excellent college papers The Junior Collegian, the Southern California Daily Trojan, Stanford Daily, and the University of Cali fornia Daily Californian, are mod ern, progressive, complete news papef s. They use pictures gener ously, and have many departments and features. One peculiar thing about California papers is that they rareiy have society depart ments. Show Liberal Trend. In the industrial middle west, the papers show a trend toward liberalism, and free student opin ion. Altho not aa complete or finished as the California news papers, they are interesting to read. Especially in the Minnesota Daily Is this liberalism evident in the many mass meetings, and stu dent government demands. Sports occupy considerable space in every paper in the middle west Most papers in Big Six schools are con servative In makeup and design, using few departments and few cuts or cartoons. There are few daily papers put out by the southern schools, but one of them stands out as being the largest college paper the Daily Texan, published by the University of Texas. It varies from four to twelve pages per la sue, with aa eight column size. It features national news from the Associated press, and this year especially gives much space to state news. There is much adver tising and reviews of cinema and I books are prominent- It looks very much like a cosmopolitan newspaper In a large city. Mora Tabloids. A trend to tabloid size is noticed in the eastern school papers. Most of them are small in size, about five or six columns and four pages, and are printed on glazed paper Instead of the ordinary newsprint Almost always there are several comment and wit columns, the ater and music reviews. Their at titude Is generally conservative and leetrained. Even the adver tisements are of finer workman ship than those in tbe western pa pera. Some college newspapers appear to be influenced by the metropoli tan newspapers in the same city. Best example of this is the Den ver Clarion, which has the scream ing heads and irregular front page of the Denver Post DEADLINE IS MONDAY Nebraskan, Cornhusker and Awgwan Positions Open To Students.

The purchase of material of this character represents somewhat of an innovation in the case of the Omaha Bee-News since it has al ways depended for its special fea tures on a long list of high priced syndicate writers.
