"What puzzles me," said a voice
at our elbow, "is how everybody
can be so busy."
We quit picking our teeth with
our little finger and turned around
to see who was speaking. Yes,
you're right, it was the cock
roach. "Please continue," we said, "it
Bounds as if you were greatly
puzzled."
"I am," was the reply. "I am
still amazed at how busy every
body can be. It does not seem
possible that there could be so
many things going on and so
many functions functioning that
every single person is busy. And
yet that is exactly the status quo
of the multitude. Whenever you
ask someone to go somewhere or
buy a ticket to something they are
always all booked up for some
thing or other two weeks in ad
vance. It still seems incredible
that people can be so busy and the
ration is still in the throes of a
ripe recession."
"Perhaps," we offered, "it is due
to the gregarious instinct of man."
"Possibly, it is," agreed .the
rnrkrnach. "It is true that as soon
as two people get to know eachj
oiner iney wm c"n
other to join his society or club or
if neither will agree to that they
will both find a common bond be
tween them and organize a new
society on that basis. Anybody
who doesn't belong to at least two
totally different organizations
nowadays is a hermit. And yet
pfter neonle eet thru doing what
they have pledged themselves to
do and are so miernaiiy uu.-y at,
uhat is the result?"
"W rive un." we said. "What
U the result?"
"Well. er. uh well. nobody
Vnows. That's lust the trouble
Pontile are alwavs busy, but what
Is accomplished by being so busy?
Nervous breakdowns, maybe."
"What is this?" we asked in
sult:ngly, "a lazy man's philoso-
nhv?"
. . i ht
No, Just a commentary uii"
about by the discovery that too
many things are all going on at
once. You know," here the cock
roach crossed his antennae re
flectively. "This is going to be a very deep
bit of observation." we thought to
ourselves. "But we might as well
humor him."
"You know," he continued. ' Life
is just a three ring circus"
"Like the gridiron dinner?" we
asked, working in a plug.
"there is so much going on ;
that you don't know what to choose
to look at. There's still one thing
that puzzles me. That is, w hen j
everybody is so busy how does it;
happen that some people find;
more time to do still more things
than other people." i
"We'd ask you to say that over
again If we thought you could say j
it the same way twice in succes-;
Pion. Our answer, however, is;
that they don't find time, they,
make time. They are imbued with j
s.ich platitudes as 'Time and tide;
wait for no man' an 'He wasted ;
time, now time wastes him'." !
"By the way, ' we said, "if you're
not busy tonight, how about com
ing over for dinner."
"I can't tonight." said th cock- i
roarh hurriedly. "You see, I've
got to go to the CRIDIRON DIN
NER tonight." j
Barrage of Registrations
Anticipated During
Last Days.
With noon Saturday as the dead
line for next semester's registra
tion, approximately the same num
ber of students have enrolled thus
far as compared with this time
last year, according to Dr. A. R.
Congdon, chairman of the assign
ment committee.
Eighty-four quiz and laboratory
sections have been filled by early
registrants and stand as closed,
except to those students who sub
mit written permission from Cong
don. Students who fail to register
before the Saturday deadline will
be charged the $3 late assessment.

WHITE SPOT THEME SONG
FOR GRIDIRON BANQUET
BY FRED HARMS.
There is no spot like Nebraska,
This is the white spot U.
Though no one is debtor
Our grades get no better
And we copy our crib sheets too.
There is no spot like Nebraska
Where good professors are few.
When they lack legal tender,
'Tain't long till they spend 'er
And leave dear Nebraska U.
There Is no spot like Nebraska
Where coeds get In at curfew.
Though our deans may grow
blander,
They'll sue you for slander
If you make a sly sally or two.
There is no spot like Nebraska
Just look at her Student U.
The alumni romanced it;
Uncle Sam, he financed it;
Now we have a place to pitch
woo.

The University of Nebraska has
received praise and favorable at

HhII collection at the University
of Nebraska continues to gain Im

ing assemblages of contemporary
American art In similar public in
stitutlons." The Art Digest of
April, 1938, characterizes the Hall
collection ss "among the most Im
portant university collections In
the country, Including works by
the foremost American painters."

Besides the story of Nebraska's
recent art purchases, the Maga
zine of Art recognizes Nebraska
this month by a full page cover
design showing the Nebraska state
capitol. In an article appears the
comment: "Bertram G. Goodhue s
winning design spelled the doom
of the heavy dome as a necessity
for all official buildings."
Mr. F. A. Whiting, editor of the
Magazine of Art. who visited Lin
coln recently, expressed enthusi
asm over the art collection at the
university and pronounced It as
one of the most significant of its
kind.
The are purchases Include two
small sculptures, "Wandering

Candv Passings Founded
bv Women, Declare Men
Males Perpetuate Custom
Merely for Coeds,
Poll Shows.
Candy-passing to announce col
legiate engagements is a silly,
meaningless custom, probably orig
inated by a woman, some 70 men
on the campus contended last night
when contacted in Daily Ne-
braskan poll No. 5478381.
The general masculine tendency
was to regard the sorority sweets

questioned, however, more favored
the custom than condemned it.
"It's a pretty sound idea if the
cigars are good," one man com

"It's a fine thing if the girl can
afford the candy," stated Bucky
Prime over the A. T. O. phone. The
only boy to oppose the theory that
candy passings were originated by
coeds, Prime Insisted that college
men naa started the tradition.
"It's a naive way to tell other men
to lay off your girl." he declared.
