The best laid plans
yon know the rest!
It's MinneNola or 1uk1 for scores of university students this
Coining weekend and the same for about lUKMI outsiders whorV
love for and loyalty to Nebraska football will draw them almost
WK) miles to Minneapolis to watch the Jones boys in the season's
opener.
Whatever the outcome of the frame, and naturally we hope
strongly for a certain outcome, we hope Nebraska students, es
pecially, behave themselves in a manner which will give Minne
sota students and fans a high opinion of this institution.
There w ill be reveling aplenty if the Huskers are victorious
and the same, to the tune of "drowning sorrows," if the Hunk
ers lose. That reveling, we pray will not be obnoxious. Hun
dreds of automobiles will be on the highways all day Friday and
Saturday. For safety's sake alone is this plea of temperance,
"We're not a't all taking an anti-repeal stand, but we surely
realize that there are many hazards and dangers that present
themselves if students and fans are careless and thoughtless.
Our main plea is with the student body, or the part of
it that makes the trip. Minnesotana are not the only per
sons whose opinions of us may be influenced. Those who
decide the fate and destiny of this university are probably
much more willing to favor us when we behave ourselves
than when a handful of us make this whole student body
appear unworthy of assistance.

Uni HtudentK change license plates
When Joe Kirshenbaum, How
ard Barish and Edward Malushock
lifted their respective thumbs
eastward toward Omaha one night
last week, the last thing they ex
pected was the thing that did hap
pen. The ride came fast. The driver
was very friendly. Everything was
fine. And then it happened.
Somewhere between Lincoln and
Omaha, quite a distance from no
where, in a dark, secluded spot,
their benefactor stopped, asked
them to help him change his li
cense plates.
Barish, in the front scat, balked.
"What's the deal," he asked. "Hey,
did you steal this car?" And the
two in back shivered in a corner.
The stranger grinned slyly and
explained that he had borrowed
the car from his sweetheart in
Lincoln so he could drive to Oma
ha and see his woman there. He
changed the plates, he said, be
cause the Omaha woman knew the
license of the Lincoln lover's car.
It wasn't hard for him to con
vince the three boys that he wasn't
a car thief, but when the car
finally reached Omaha, the three
jumped out thinking If the' Oma

FROM THE MAILS.
Dear Chris:
Pappy was readin' me a bit of
yer prittle prattle from your last
colume the other nite before teckin
me in. and I immediately begun
ta think what a good idea it ud be
for you an me to compare notes on
tha lives of our respictive students.
1 have heared yor side alridy so I
will perceed to tell you a little
about the way we'uns go a schoolin
here on raxpax ridge. I will also
pass on to you some comments
about yer colume that have stunk
in my mind.
I will furst tell you au sdoui
tha home life of the typical local
student, scholar, all round boy and
regulur flash with tha women-
me. Im nigh onta z years oi
now, and will soon be permoted to
the aith grade if everthing works
out.
Grandpappy says we live on a
mountain range, but we ain't that
flashy. Ma does all the cookin' ona
log fire. The Po river runs down
thru the holler. I guess that's
what makes us po' people. Most
us men jest lay aroun and snore
approval whin tha womin do tha
work.
On our farm we have 4 kinds a
pigs. Black, wntie, dihck anu
white, and brown. Can't figer the
brown one out. Our celery crop
aint so hot this year. It's all blood
shot. Pappy calls it rhubarb. Our
1923 Ford is a fine car with good
body and excellent chaos. Iron was
discovered near here because some
feller smelt it. I also have a little
sister, Nellie. But she can't write
to you noaw because she are going
to git married next month and is
busy in the garret gettin her turso
ready. Im gittin married as soon
as mah girl stops walkin on hern
hands and nees. She is the positive
symposium of pulchritudinous.
I got quite a gun. Whittled it
from old railroad spikes. I'm con
sidered ta be a dangerous man in
these here parts cause everone saiz
I got a "itchy trigger finger." I
don't know what ta do about it
besides scratch!
I must close noaw. I'm goin up

Discovers energy that normal
person uses in thinking equals
By Ray Palkot.
(Pitt News Staff.)
Briefly, here's a story in half a
peanut shell!
All the energy the average per
son uses in his thinking during one
day could be obtained by eating
one peanut, says Dr. E. Alfred
Wolf, associate professor of bi
ology. The average college stu
dent, however, uses that much
energy in one hour's sustained
mental work.
The average college student
takes from 1,200 to 2.400 calories
a day for mere subsistence. Any
thing he does even eating must
be added to this basal metabolism
figure.
The average football player, for
instance, needs enough energy to
or subtracting vitamins from the
diet of trained rats, it may be
possible to determine the effect of
vitamin A upon color blindness.
. Other lesearch is concerned with
the correlation of mental and
physical traits. Large groups of
people were studied to determine
if certain physical and mental
traits develop together, such as
obesity and good humor.
The effect of the use of dom
inant limbs upon reaction time is
also being experimented on. At the
present time no research is being
conducted In the field of mental
telepathy.

rNew textbook presents iresn

Professor Dana F. Cole of the

newly published textbook, "Begin

the system is to teach the student
business elements before he tries
to use them.
Though the book has been pub

this term, some institutions have
made it their point to adopt the
book for classroom use. The author

professor emeritus of biology at

You could talk for two hours on
the energy you need to eat your
food every day. Maybe that's the
origin of the saying, "She'd rather
talk than eat."
Then, the student who plays
Bach on the piano adds only 40
calories to his basal metabolism;
if he plays one of Teddy Wilson's
musical gyrations, his figure will
be upped to 560 calories, which is
the same number used when trot

Wrestling is by far the most
strenuous sport, says Dr. Wolf. It
would take 125 hours of thinking
to use up the same energy that
you must have for one hour's
wrestling.
A note for girls who wish to re
duce: If you eat enough proteins,
these proteins will carry away the
excess calories which you have
eaten. Excess calories, you know,
are lesponsible for that excess
weight.
