This week-end, high school journalists from all over Nebras ka have congregated in Lincoln to hold their ninth annual Nebras ka High School Tress Association convention. Some of these young enthusiasts, and they certainly are just that, intend to get as much knowledge and experience as possible out of their high M'hool journalism work. Others intend to go on to college, learn new facts about newspapers and their workings, get into college Jit'e through their journalistic connections, and have a good time generally. Still a few others, rela tively few compared to the rum her who take interest in high school, intend to use their high school and collegiate journalism experience to gain them positions on large daily newspapers, or na tional and international news services when they graduate from cc: liege. Practical experience gained from high school and college newspaper work is really valu able, and these energetic young Mers know it. That is why they a 'e putting their hearts and souls into thi.s woik while they are at it. It doesn't take just a mere interest to work long hours aft er school or let other subjects ulide by in order that the prep journalist may headline, proof lead, or copyread. It takes a lc"p interest; a thought of what is really being gained; of what will really be useful in later life. Competition is great among; the ranks of these high school friends of ours. They enter riewswriting contests, they correct each other's work, they give into someone bet- tor whej. important assignments come along, but always they stick 1o their job, hope for the best, and in that way they enjoy their work. Who knows what the future holds for these young people? Who knows but what the ace re porter on a high school weekly will be the Floyd Gibbons, 01 )amnn Runvon, or the "Bugs" r.aer of 1!i.'i0. If it's courage and will power that's necessary, then every one of these high schoolers lias a darn good chance, to sue eecil. Better keep your eye cm them. Remember our present columnists i won't last forever; our famous in j ternational correspondents won't live a century; and our cditorial I ists' hands won't live on after their bodies die. All of their , places will be taken by our young t friends, and this great change won't happen after you've gone. 31 won't bo long-.

The political parties arc opening a full barrage. Candidates from each party are digging into the history of his opponent, try ing to find something to break the public's faith in him, to prove him infit for the position, and to tear him up in general. Political campaign are not the only mud slinging events. We have it in athletics, school politics, business competition and in all other departments of life. Maybe some people must have a way to let off the excess hot air and can find no other way. Some may think it helps their own cause, others have different reasons. The result is the same in all cases; you lose the respect and support of your associates. You'll say some one will believe the mud slinging, I know, but only the weak ones. If you must get your position through the sup port of the weak, you had better not have it at all. It has been wisely written in the Chinese proverb that "He who thinks -he is building a mound, sometimes is digging a grave."
