Students seoking information at the executive office should
bo careful not to confuse the particular duties of the numerous
guides, clerks, assistants, "associates," secretaries, and other
auxiliary hirelingp, too numerous to mention, who subsist on
the state's credit. An extensive system of division of labor
has been put in actual process, and the work formerly done by
one or two is now performed by a small multitude for econ
omy's sake.
Quite a few students are planning to enter the oratorical
contest this year. The Huspektan is glad to see the interest
in oratory kept up. The facilities for encouraging debating
and oratory aro the best they ever wore at the University.
The work in public speaking and elocution is proving voiy
successful, and those taking the work realize the amount of
help they aro receiving. We should have this year at least a
dozen good, strong, experienced public speakers enter the
oratorical contest. It is time for thorn to be preparing their
productions. The student who this year wins the inter-state
contest which meets hero, will gain for himself the highest
honor ever won in the art of public speaking in the University
of Nebraska.
who have done it are the better off in the end. Their educa
tion and life at the University has been practical extremely
practical. And when they have finished, they have gone out
"into the cold, cold world" knowing what it is to work, know
ing what it is to earn a living. Those same fellows can adapt
themselves to circumstances. And there is one absolutely
certain fact about such fellows, they will always make a living,
and this is 3aying a good deal.
These students have usually found the atmosphere about
tho University sympathetic and welcoming. They have
thrived in the University climate. Their numbers have in
creased. They have also increasod in quality. Many of this
class havo fought their way up into the highest rank of scholar
ship and standing in their classes. In fact a greatef per cent,
perhaps, of this class has passed above the average scholar
ship, and the reason is clear; they havo come with one object
in view, and that object was an education. Many havo be
come known as leaders among student -in debating clubs, in
preliminary and final debates, in athletics, in tho societies,
and even in tho fraternities. On tho whole their record has
been to the credit of themselves and of the University.
Much of tho means of support has been supplied upon the
campus, though probably tho greater part outside. But there
is work that might bo given as student labor that is not. In
fact it has been taken from tho students and given to outsiders
and the reasons do not seem to justify such action. There has
been established a burean of typewriting and mimeographing
for tho stenographic work which tho University pays for. All
the work done in this bureau was formerly done by various
students. At the head of this bureau is an outsider, not a
student. Pnrt of tho work, it is true, is still done by students
under tho new organization, but only a part. The manage
ment and a groat part of tho work is performed by one who is
not in the University. The excuse is economy, but the econ
omical saving thereby when students have formerly worked for
twenty cents an hour and furnished material and machines
to-boot is a very small argument.
Tho University of Nebraska has always 'heretofore en
doavored to encourage and aid those who have tho spunk and
dogged perseverance to starve and sweat their way in self
support through tho University in order to get an education.
The number that have done this some wholly, others par
tially has not boon small. Boys havo come hero from the
tfarm and from the town with not enough monoy to pay for a
week's board, and yet they havo supported themselves through
out a four or five year's course, besides carrying from fifteen
to.'ninetoon hours of work. This has taken pluck, but 'those
