Don't you realize that this Is

in to that old antennned standby.

scanning of the 1938 Cornhusker
pages with their uiira-uioiiKe
tures and attractive typographical
ttvrttntrnnients
So what?" we asked and hur
riedly leafed thru to the beauty
-Don't you know that this is also
the Sunday edition 7
will then whv don't you take
'o-a nf both of vour readers
and Ret tn a little sermon?"
We would have paid no nUen
I m to him but just then' we were
&obled by eager people clamoring
for a glance at me new -"-t...it.M.
we nostnoned a more
wfimr of it until later.
Well milnit pounder," we asked
h. rockroaoh. "What would be a
otmm! text?"
Rubbing his antennae against a
forsaken hair pin lying on the bat
tered desk, the cockroach replied
Sermon.
"Graduation will soon be here
and with it will come the awful
inevitability of facing the future.
Young men and women will go
to work, or go somewhere and
apply for it. They will probably
be afraid of economic failure
and take the very first thing
that offers, even tho it may have
a blind alley. I call to mind a
newspaper clipping which my
Aunt Emma Roach sent me. It
quotedthe president of Prince
ton. Harold M. Dodds. as say.
ing: If you are to make any
thing of yourselves, you must be
willing to face the risks of inse
curity. The man who keeps his
eyes fixed on security inevitably
becomes enmeshed in the tenta
cles of the status Quo. Unquote.
I thought it very true and I
agree with the president of
Princeton. It is somewhat dis
concerting to find young people
accepting dullness as inevitable
at the very time they should go
around hitching wagons to stars.
It is disconcerting to see them
go around thinking that it is bet
ter to live a dull, safe life than
to live dangerously. Too many
people are concerned with the
fetish of security."
"Just the same," we pointed out
"A bird In the hand is worth two
tn the bush. If a person has to
take a measley one hundred
week on graduation, he has to,
that's all."
"How much?"
"So I meant fifteen a week,"
we said crossly, "it still goes. You
gotta have something that brings
in the potatoes, even if it is just
checking the mistakes other peo
ple make in checking the pnistakes
of other people.
Which just goes to prove my
point" said the roach, "lou are
f swathed around with the phii
osonhv of security that you are
blind to everything else."
"Is that so? Just look at these
ears. See how they stick out?
They got that way from sitting at
the door listening for opportunity
to knock.
"Oh, well, I didn't mean just
wishing for something better. I
meant actually doing something
with a goal in view.
"Very well," we agreed. "We
shall keep your point well in mind
but at the moment something
more interesting occupies our
time."
Grudgingly the cockroach de
parted and left us to the perform
ance of a more interesting task
that of sleeping and wishing exams
were over so we didnt have to
worry about them.
