IT in RASKAIM i i ii 11 f fc AJL1U, KJ, Sarah f Louise JTv Follow llio Sparrows Bark Home. We humans who aspire to great eagles or exotic birds paradise have a lot to bain, bo of it would seem, from the sparrows. By this we do not mean their omnipresence, their vulgarity, or their untidiness. Common, unlove ly little birds, .sparrows. But these least of these represent a fable, a hope, a faith. Was it not the Book nobody knows that claimed: that sparrows do no falling- with out the father's knowledge? (Mat thew 10:291. This ideal is a haven we high flyers scorn when the soaring is good. Wc would be mightier than sparrows powerful, beau tiful, respected. Sparrows arc none of these. Wc need no one to note our falling there just ain't goin' to be one. But there comes a time when we feel that the sparrows may have a pretty good racket after all. Home a Hole in the Wall. The sparrows around U hall, for Instance, need not bemoan their fate. None of the collegiate big wigs or their reflected glory bask ers have yet achieved a niche in life so high or so cozy as that of the brassy little cheep cheepers. One gang of them has long found itself a soft spot in a nest sized hole near an imperfectly set in window frame. Nothing fancy, you understand, hut comfy. There's a sun deck just overhead on the peeled fared limestone window ornamentation. The yard in front of the place is sufficiently isolated to be quite ex clusive, yet accessible to the boys for get-togethers and feeds. But above all the home nest is pro tected, by its southern only expos ure and sheltering corner, from the rhill winds of Mother Nature, and from the dry, hot air of the journalism and debating classes next door by the shutters of the window ventilator. To both wind and windedness wc poor students have no nearly adequate wind break. Home Sweet Home. The life of a fall-watched sparrow is sweetly devoid of complications. He need not earn himself his wherewithal for cigarettes, silk hose or house bills. Food, or whatever he eats, is comparatively available. If he gets tired of his old woman, there arc some more chippies to be bad.. If be goes to bat with Sonny for coming In way after sundown, he can yell his head off, and there is no one to tap on the walls. In short, the Fall Guy seems to have him fixed up with everything. We merest mortals, who stretch our wings at the stars, and put a many figured mileage on our gum in the trying, might do well to consider the sparrows. Worthless though wc humans be, our small feathered friends can make even less soap, glue, fertilizer and nails. There may be a window case ment cubby hole for us up the sleeve of the Sparrow Kerper. For "Ave not two sparrows sold for a farthing, and one of them shall not f;:ll to the ground without your Father's knowledge?''

"When 300 freshmen, one-half of the freshmen in Arts and Sci ence college, after they have been exposed to twelve years of our educational system, register for a course to teach them how to study, two conclusions must be drawn: First, a large and discouraging: number of college students have not yet acquired the ability to comprehend; second, they realize their deficiency and want to do something about It" Thus Dr. W. 55.

Whether it be by special train or special car, students of Ne braska will leave at 12:30 o'clock Friday night to witness the foot ball game between the. Cornhusk ers and the Missouri Tigers at Columbia, Mo., Saturday after noon. The final decision as to whether the Cornhusker followers will enjoy the privacies of an ex clusive train depends upon the number of students who make reservations today. Train fare, roundtrip, to Mis souri is $10.05. This will be paid to John K. Selleck, director of stu dent activities, in the coliseum. Only students are entitled to this rate and an identification card (Continued on Page 4.) . S. F. A. Students Will Represent Nebraska U. at New Mexico Confab. Student Council delegates this year will attend the biennial N. S. F.

Agrees With Hutchins. Agreeing mildly with President Hutchins that "the bachelor of arts hasn't mastered 'he art of reading and writing," Dr. Gregory says that the college level of today isn't any lower than the level of other periods, and that the Nebraska level is as high as that of any average school. Lack of skill In the learning process rather than lack cf ability to learn accounts for most schoisstlc disaster.

PEP WIN E Com Cob-Tassel 'Truckin" Contest on Halloween Eve to Feature.

An ar bitrary goal of 700 tickets has been 3ct for the pep club mem bers to sell by the date of their Indiana game celebration, Oct. 30.

More innovations in the way of campus entertainment will be made at the. post-football game party, than have been seen in any Ne braska affair for years. In addi tion to the hot-rhythm music of Ted Adams and his 11-piece col ored orchestra, the entire coliseum will be transformed into as com plete a semblance of a back-street carnival as is possible.
