The I'orlv-tliird annual presentation of the
".Messiah' this ai'iet tioon in the coliseum raises
the curtain on ihe University's social program
for the day, The t radit ional Christmas ora
lorio has been extolled so tnilell, mill deserv
ingly, that words fail to add to the spiritual
iiiijire.ssivciiess ( the school of music's produc
tion. It is a University function that merits
student put rutin ye for the inspiring ami
timely message it offers.
Hardly on the deeper side of Nebraska's
cultural life, but certainly happy escape from
the routine of campus life is the appearance of
Tony Sard's famous puppets. The sophisticate
and the cuic may sneer at Ihe thought of
wntchin" dolls on strings perform, but it only
takes these little people once to soften the
hearts of some of the most hard-boiled people
in the world. Their miniature realism seldom
fails to please, and it is with mingled regret
that audiences are amazed when one of the
puppeteers enter the small stage and spoil the
illusion which the puppets create so realistic
ally. Final event is not an open affair, but one
.which should interest journalism school men
and others interested in eye-witness accounts
'of the Sino-.lannnesc war. Two University
graduates, returned to the States after duty
with the U. !S. consulate service and a press
news bureau, will meet for the first time to
night and exchange views gathered at Nan

smoker. Their remarks will not be for publi
cationespecially those of the American con
sular official hut they will be fact-filled and
significant in Hii'owing some light on the U. S.
stand in the Far East war.
Today is a busy day. There is something
doing all afternoon, something that should ap
peal to all students, and something to which
all students should appeal for leisure time well
spent.

the stage is set for grabbing off

There's the reception line for ex

granite had nothing on the groups
of women who make up the re

or deb parties. They stand there
with outstretched hands and
frozen toothpaste smiles, giving a
standard greeting to each unci all
of those who arrive on time. You
to those who are a bit tardy for
they are cut short with a grimace
of displeasure. The same ritual of
the handshake is adhered to after
the dance as each one tells the
hostesses just what a marvelous
dance It was. So standard is the
ceremony, wc know one young
lady, slightly annoyed with the
parliamentary procedure, who
passed down the line shaking each
hand as she murmured "Good
night. My father s a ditch digger."
The only answer she received was
"Yes, it was a nice dance wasn't
it?"
The stag line is a pleasant lot

little group singing of popular

incorrect to raise the voice above

the singing so the orchestra gave

Only One-Half Finish
Nearly half the boys and girls j
who registered in the nation's col-1
leges and universities this fall will
fail to receive their diplomas and
degrees four years from now, a
study just released by Dean Ever-
I ett W. Lord, noted Boston uni
versity educator, reveals. His ar
ticle entitled "Student Persistence
in American Colleges" appears in
the November number of theDiary,
official magazine of Alpha Kappa
Psi, International commerce fra
ternity, for which the study was
made.
Reduced to barest arithmetical
essentials, Dean Lord's report
shows that of 214.000 freshmen
who registered in 241 of the na
tion's colleges, 99.644 failed to
graduate within their four year
period of collegiate work.
Partially at fault for this ap
palling student mortality are the
colleges, Dean Lord's survey
states, since 5.000 of the "de
tached" freshmen who registered
In 241 of the colleges graced so
poorly that It is apparent that
they should never have been ad
mitted to college in the first place.
In all between 2V0O0 and 30.000
students are dropped from college
for scholastic deficiencies or fail
ures. The tragedy which befalls
these students, writes Dean Ird.
is not sufficiently appreciated by
colleges or society. These student
are. in effect, blacklisted by all
other colleges and, to a certain ex
tent, by business. They have been
definitely labeled as "failures" and
are likely to bear the stigma of
their shortcomings for years. Tills
is an awful price to pay for the
first year failure.
Surprising is it to note that the
academic mortality is the highest
among freshmen, lowest among
juniors and higher the senior year.
We tend to disagree with Dr.
Lord's statement saying that a
I freshman is Just as likely to fail
in a large institution as in 1 smaii
one. Personally we think that a
freshman has a much better
chance to break into college work
in a small school. The freshman
receives that personal attention in
a small school that he does not at
a larger arhool. In a school of this
size students may be around for a
couple years before the professors
know his name. There are profes
sors in this college that have a
atudent In their class for one se-
mester and cannot tell you his
name without looking at the rou
book.
That is not the case In a small
school. We are especially refer
ring to our state Junior colleges. A
howl arises that grades are much
! more easily made at junior colleges
than they are here. That 1 only
true In some Instance. Junior
college transfers at this school
have a definite place. They are
good average students. They re
ceived their first two years of
training in Junior colleges.
Fully 29 pejeent of freshmen
and 25 percent of upper class stu
dents drop out of college for fi
nancial reasons, despite the mil
lions of dollars available in most
colleges for scholarships, loans and
jobs. Even the National Youth
Administration's great aid does
not change this percentage, al
though prior to the NYA, with
drawals for" reasons of financial
difficulties were unquestionably
more numerous than they are now.
