Mr Ti RHODES SCHOLAR
LINCOLN. NEBKASKA, TUESDAY. JANUARY I. 19.i
IMUCE FIVE CENTS
Why Are We llre?
It really is a mutter for serious
thought. I mean, wc ought to think
very earnestly about it. Well, at
least we ought to find some rea
sons for it. After nil, if ovcrybcxly
just about does it, and nobody
hardly at all likes it, then why?
What I'm driving at is, is there
any defensible reason for coming
back to school after the holidays'.'
Since almost everybody, how
ever regrettably or regretfully,
does and almost always has,
there must be something to it.
That is to say, everybody
wouldn't keep on doing it and
not liking it and still doing it
for nothing would they? Or
would they? At all events, wc
decided that there must be some
vaiia explanation or me ining.
&n u inmiirrl arnunrl
At first it appeared that there '
wasn't a single justifiable reason
for the return to "hell and starvn- 1
tion." as they say in the song. But
finally, by questioning only the
most rharitablc-to-eilucation, we ;
unearthed n few. These we feel i
duty bound to pass on to the wait- j
Ing world, because so many un- j
happy souls are cursing their cam-j
pus reincarceration. j
Christmas on Exhibit.
Obviously, lots of collegians
came back to parade, talk about
and display their Christmas
presents. As some of the gVts
are right floozy the showing off
thereof is a most compelling mo
tive. An even more special rea
son for" treklng back to school
from the hinterlands is to flash
brand new engagement rings
fraternity pins, et all. This is ;
such a big item that it would fil-
most appear that Dan Cupid was 1
the holiday deity, rr.thcr than I
Santa Claus. 'j
And then there are vacations to i
monologue about. Everyone must j
take turns with everyone else te!!-1
Ing about trips. New Year's eve j
parties, mobs of visiting relatives, !
and all of the customary cheer, i
Too, many return to college to lose j
the fatal pounds gained from:
turkey diet. Or, indeed, several i
bedraggled socialites tell us, to j
catch up on -Icen. j
A somewhat more serious rea- :
son, for seeking again the uni- i
versity environs, is "so that j
you'll feel that you ought to j
study not that you ever do
study anyway, but you promised j
yourself so faithfully that you d
study during vacation and didn't
and so you go back to school so
that you'll feel you really ought i
to, even tho you don't."'
Bye Bye Party Lines.
But the most weighty reason of
fill, in many cass, we understand.
Is to get away from the home
town and home folks and all their

citizenry mak"s your business
their business, and the pater and
mater have firm ideas about
galoshes and warm underwear and
other horrible tilings. So boys and
girls hurry back to s-hcwil to look
after their own good times am!
welfares.
So far as we could ascertain,
professors have only the poorest
excuses for going back to their
educational efforts. Those who
went to conventions, conclaves,
meetings and the like have lots
of new learning to har?.s their
students with. Thote thst didn't
might just as well have never
left off having fun with their
families and dogs and boski ar.d
pipe and so on. The return to
scholarly ways and the rostrum
seems to be sort of unwarranted
for them, somehow.
It nil winds up to one simple
fact: We're here because we're
here because we'ri here because
we're here.

SCHEDULE OF EXAMINATIONS
I 'IK ST SEMESTER l9;$7-3
i
Laboratory classes meeting for several continuous hours on one or two days may avoid conflicts with
other classes of the same nature by arranging that their examinations occur as follows:
Classes meeting on Monday or Tuesday may be examined on the date scheduled for the first hour of
their laboratory meeting; Wednesday or Thursday classes on the second hour of their meeting; Friday or
Saturday classes on the third hour.
Please note that in this schedule special arrangements have been made to conduct unit examinations
for aU sections in the following subjects: (1) Business Organization 3 and 4; (2) Chemistry 1; (3) Educa
tion 30; (4) English 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4; (5) English 11; (6) French 1, 2, 3, and 4; (7) Mechanical Engi
neering 1; and (8) Spanish 51 and 53. If students have regularly scheduled examinations conflicting with
the above especially arranged schedule, arrangements to take such specially scheduled examinations at an
other time should be made with the department concerned on or before January 19. For example: If a
student is scheduled for an examination which conflicts with a specially scheduled examination in French,!
arrangements should be made with the French department to take such French examination at another
time.
