Pip I'ip. TuodlrtMi.
Farewells are. ever a time for
retrospect, for remcmbcr-whens,
for sentiment, for evaluations, for
if-I-had-it-to-do-overs. They are
times of riotous celebrations, ten
der scenes, mighty sighs of release
relief, in short, of mixed feelings.
Parting, everyone agrees, is such
a sweet sorrow.
As the semester is ending and
the time draws nigh for the books
to be closed or perhaps, opened
for the first time there is a pre
occupation in getting the volumes
to show a balance in favor of as
sets and "value received." Seniors,
for example, attempt to deter
mine for their own satisfaction
whether college has meant all they
thought it should, or had a right
to expect it should.
There are several prevalent
standards for university accom
plishment. Some consider a col
legiate career successful if they
have slid through four years of
work with a minimum of effort.
Some look back with joy upon
unforgettable but unremember
ed big times, with their custo
mary aftermath of black eyes,
head-aches, missing articles of
clothing, and depleted cash sup
ply. The time getting an educa
tion is reviewed as through a
happy, rosy-eyed haze.
Honoraries and Success.
Some students have earned, or
been awarded, recognition of some
soil for achievement. Cups,
placques. medals, keys abound.
Some carry a cash or tuition
scholarship reward, others are
graced with only the honor of the
attendant publicity or the privilege
of wearing attractive insignia.
Honorary membership is sought
after as good copy for the class
sections of the yearbook, and helps
impress paying papas that educa
tion is a fine thing.
Another popular basis for
judgment on the success of one's
college work is more social pins
collected, or pins hung. Campus
society is as literal minded as
the more intellectual divisions
of the university. The demand,
rgain, is for something to show
for one's accomplishments.
Adeptness at collection of little
decorated bits of jewels and
precious stones here too is one
measure of achievement.
Small Time Big Shots.
Activity plums and offices are
considered good criteria for eval
uation of the four long years by
many. If someone was a big man
on the campus, with much notice
of his doings in college daily and
goro sheets, with a bland famil
iarity with the behind-the-scenes
of petty student and professorial
politics, his time in school was
well spent. Like as not he can live
on his reputation in his own home
town for years, and marry the
banker's daughter considered by
all an up and coming young man.
One or two graduates think of
contacts with professors in of
fice or beerish bull sessions.
They remember pridefully things
they have learned by dint of
long hard work. They have come
to possess weapons for living;
perspective, a love for "things
not sensual," of the mind, per
haps even a goal. They may be
cat red philosophically from a
fierce struggle to understand.
They may be disillusioned, dis
heartened. But they tried to be
receptive, to take advantage of
the best their university had to
offer them. In their trying they
achieved.
We hope that our poor striving
Around and Abouter has been so
blessed with intangible achieve
ment. Such success we hold dear.
After all you can't condemn a girl
for trying. If we've often been mis
guided, we've always been a.s sin
cere and honest an we know how.
So parting, for us as for every
one, is a time of various emotions,
Significant uniquely to each palt
er. But to all, good luck rind
"take, care!"

One Male Chef.
In the basements of the Greek
houses along fraternity row on the
university campus, almost half a
hundred cooks spend from six to
eight hours a day preparing food
for hungry Mudents. Most of these
culinary experts are feeding men,
not coeds.
With one exception the cooks
are women, usually big women
with tolerant dispositions. The
exception, a Negro named "Sam."
has been attached to the Acacia
house since the beginning of the
World war. Alumni, returning to
the house in football season,
scarcely glance at the undergrad
uate crop of unfamiliar faces be
fore thiy hotfoot it down to the
basement to see the one man they
remember and on whom they can
count to remember them.
Swapping Cooks Rare.
Not much trading goes on be
tween fraternity kitchens: house
motners miry transfer from nouse
to house, but the cook is not a
"swapable" commodity, and once
she has found her own particular
skillet, is not likely to leave it
soon, barring difficulties with the
house manager or exhibitions of
temperament.
Temperament is a doubti '
asset in a fraternity cook; womei.
with nervous or unduly sensitive
dispositions cannot stand the pres
sure of constant contact with hun
gry young m-n who complain
about the quality of their nour
ishment as a matter of principle.
Artistic Temperament.

perament is the easily roused

With today's issue, the Daily
Nebraskan staff has rpeorted,
copyread and proofread the
last "rag" of the current school
term. The incumbent staff
checks in its suit and begins
preparation for the final ses
sion during exam week.
And looking over the past
nine months' activities, we find
the year has not been an un
eventful one the student body
has witnessed and participated
in the ordinary parade of cam
pus events along with a few
unusual occurrences tossed in.
The staff believes it has
edited a fairly good "sheet,"
has no doubt made the custom
ary mistakes and has been
guilty of a few minor "bon
ers." But all in all we've en
joyed the time spent in the
basement of rugged old U hall.
And altho, true to form, we've
experienced some difficulty in
pursuing our studies, we're cer
tain our scholastic endeavors
haven't been altogether neg
lected. And so for the current term
and until next fall, publica
tion of the Nebraskan is sus
pended. In September a new
staff selected in the majority
from the present staff of jour
nalistic hopefuls will take
charge and the "rag" will again
publish the news of the Ne
braska campus in its columns.
