CHIIIIl ' BOIIOH lot AaoILM a Feice Coeds Dress As Youngsters For Annual Education Event- Dear Biff Jones: If you've noticed the conspicuous absence of Nebraska football talk anions students not w ithstaudinsi the Cornhuskers' inspired last minute victory over the Jayhawkers blame it o;i Pitt! For the last three years, Major, we've no ticed that student enthusiasm failed to soar before the llusker-Pitt names, either here or there. The reason probably lay in the defeatist attitude of the undergraduates adopted after year-in year-out losses to the mighty teams that Dr. Jock Sutherland rolled out of Panther Hollow. t seemed that the team, composed of University students too, had the same idea Pitt was unbeatable. But 10:58 's screwball football season finds the situation somewhat different. Pitt's next door neighbor, Carncsric Tech, last week upset the applecart by befuddling the Panthers who, incidently, were without the all-around serv ices of Marshall Goldberg. The Smoky City ace is not expected to play tomorrow because of his. leg injury. For this, Nebraska should be eternally grateful to Carnegie Tech. Coach Browne, who has been scouting Pitt all year, has reported that, despite Goldberg's absence, Pittsburgh's team is the country's number one crew. And, Major, you know that Party Brings Out Hair Ribbons, Socks Prize for prettiest costume at the elementry education kinder garten party last night Went to Frances Wrlghtsman, dressed in a blue Shirley Temple dress witn white fur trimmed shoes. Suzy Bradford, Jean Woods, and Irene Neville received rattles for having the ugliest costumes. They were dressed "as the Marx Brothers. Looking like a true colonial maid in heer navy gingham dress and pantaloons, Betty Jne Dutch was chosen the most original. Virginia Smith took the award of funniest with black eye, freckles, missing teeth, cap, and overalls. After playing "London Bridge Is Falling Down," "Drop the Hanky," and "Going to Jerusalem," all the "kids" from the various organized houses and class groups took turns giving five minute skits. The hardest hand c'.aps and whistles went to "Miss Stebbins' School of Individual Destriction." The pupils spent a hard five min utes with make-up inspection, mu sie nDiireciatlon hour, rhythm fundamentals, and Ideas on how to get a man. Little Miss uen Har mon was presented with an "A" for her suggestion, "Keen person ality, swing of hips, and smile of lips." Dorothy Chase took charge of another skit in which she bundled up in pillows and a drooping suk dress to play the Phi Beta Kappa school teacher. Each child in the kindergarten class recited a brief "pome." Teacher called Betty Rathburn "bubble-brain" and ex cused "Wilson" (Jean Newell) for lack of confidence. Some of the acts were Individual. Betty Reese, dressed in blue slacks and white short, sang "The lilac Tree," while afterwards Marion Bowers danced a sombrero num ber to a Mexican rumba. "A Tis ket a Tasket; a Tattle-Tale Gray Basket" was sung by Sylvia Wolfe. After Jane Allen sang "Toyland," Evelyn Levitt recited "Miss Molly Mae." this report means that the Huskers will be but ting their heads against a stone wall Saturday afternoon. But. all ot us have heard ot walls finally crumbling after heavy use. Carnegie Tech did the crumbling act last Saturday. Now it is up to Nebraska. "We're not asking for the impossible, Ma jor, and we're not trying 1o put you and your Jones Boys on the spot. e realize that last, week's victory, the season's first, came from the inspirational play of the last minutes. We know that Nebraska can't get all "hepped up" for sixty minutes of football Saturday, but we're hoping that the Huskers remember the Kansas game as an incentive to do their best. Let's not concede defeat before the kickoli. Pitt can be beat, but it will take "the works" for Nebraska to upset the Panthers. Major, we're hoping that you have tucked some good tricks up the sleeves of the Jones Boys. They all appear to be in good shape physicaly and mentally. "We don't give a rap about first downs and game statistics. No game can be played off in advance on paper. The sod of Memorial sta dium is the playin field. Touchdowns and spirit can beat Pittsburgh. Nebraska has shown the spirit, now it is up to the Jones Boys to score the touchdowns. The Daily Nebraskan.

However, they usu ally manage to come thru with them against Nebraska, and we shall see what we shall see. Anyhow, we're pretty sure about two things. No. 1: Charley Brock will be vindicated of any undeserved black marks he took Saturday, and No. 2: The Pan thers will be facing at least one soohomore back who will make them forget all about the great Eshmont from Fordham.

His analogies were apt and his phrases stinging. The four "cults" he chose to describe must have squirmed under his keen attack. It may be questioned with rea ion, whether his speech accom plished any more than that. The jtauntlet seems to have been flung down without benefit of much ex , planation. But probably he in tended his speech to beunder 1 (stood against the backgmind of achievement recorded at Chicago university. Dr. Hutchins is not one. to un dertake liehtlv the project of gauntlet flinging. Such action, for him. is a deliberate one. based on a lifetime of consideration. And he has reached national promi nence by vigor of hia ideas. He has utaiota DAH6E I V w PAVE HAUN strong support among thinking educators everywhere. One may reflect at considerable length be fore venturing to Interpret his re marks certainly it would be wasteful to cast them off hastily as either "backward" or "radical." In general, his thesis is that ed ucation is not doing its job; that it needs to be reorganized and unified Into a more effective whole. He wants to apply logic to the problem, rather than accept ing tradition without criticism. Tho it is difficult to agree with all of his sweeping assertions, his charges cannot be gainsaid in one field: the college of liberal arts. Every liberal arts student can look into his own experience and find there many instances of dissatis faction and doubt. There is no unity. There is no efficiency. There is, fortunately, little actual pre tense that a graduate will possess a "liberal background." This is hiore than a mere "feel ing" on tne pan or me siuuems. It is no revolutionary thesis. It is corroborated by thoughtful ad ministrators. The university sen ate made a similiar investigation which pointed to similar conclu sions. Tne uarnegie tounoauon re cently made scientific tests in Pennsylvania and the results were embarrassing even to those ac 'quainted with the conditions. The possession of a college edu cation today means less than it ever did. The charges of ineffi ciency, disunity, and waste are not wild charges but point to an ad mitted need for fur-flung change. That Dr. Hutchins threw down the gauntlet is not enough. It should be taken up University Daily Kansan. Collegians' Outlook Young men and women spend years preparing themselves for positions in the world by study ing at institutions of higher learn ing and forget the broadening of their outlook on the other fields of knowledge and life. Concentration upon one nubject AND HIS ORCHESTRA FEATURING BONE PARSONS VOCALIST 25 CENTS PER PERSON has become one of the menaces of the educational system today. Undergraduates seek all the knowledge about one subject and that one subject alone. They do not delve into other fields even to the extent of learning the funda mentals of that topic. Every uacri fice Is made for the one tourse. Upon graduation and the en trance into that which is consid ered the outside world, those 'ho are reputed to be most learned In the nation are actually the t-.ios. Ignorant when basing suih Asser tions on the general knowledge in cluded in the tlegree. Many offer the excuse of lack of time to read on many nibjects as the reason for this failure. Others declare that all spare lime should be spent on their studies or on some form of leisure. Hill others go so far as to say that they are not interested in topics other than their major and minor. No one loses but the college itu dent by this limited outlook un affairs of the nation and the world. It Is to their benefit to lit least have a general knowledge t ( all practical fields and many nf the professions. And only until such information is gained ran one truthfully ay that he or ihe has an education. Daily Lariat. Friday Nov. 11th Armlstic Day TURNPIKE Present m and h la Famoua 14 Piece ORCHESTRA Adm.
