During the year, several statements
have come to the editors of the Nebraskan-Hesperian
to the effect that
the work done In the university this
year Is harder than ever before. Stu
dents In the upper classes say they
"were never so rushed for time; that
each professor ana instructor not only
Sives more but expects more than at
any other session of school during
their residence. The editors desire to
"know for the benefit of the university
If this complaint is well grounded. If
it is, there is necessity for immediate
action; If there is not, no harm will
"be done by attempting to investigate.
During the remainded of the year, we
will attempt to publish opinions from
representative students in the upper
classes; we will ask them to speak
their opinions honestly and without
prejudice; we w..l urge that they tell
bow they might have bettered them
selves under different training as well
as tbe good results of their work; we
will insist that they tell what results
they would like to take away from
the university witn them and compare
them with what they have actually
accomplished; and last of all we will
demand of them to tell how k possible
the course should be improved. Then
we will also request of them to tell how
If possible the course should be Im
proved. Then we will also submit the
came questions to the professors of
the university and urge them to speak
their mind freely, tell their reasons for
the amount of work they have a stu
dent do and show wherein the good or
bad effects of the system lies, In their
opinion. This task will require a
great deal of time on the part of the
editors, yet wc do it that the student
and professor mty alike take an in
voice during the remainder of the
spring. If a wrong is found, let It be
righted by the opening of another year
and It the complaint ie unfounded, let
It Ite passed over and forgotten.
The Idler has had several problems
to think about for the past few days
and to say the least it is pretty hard
to decide whether it Is a good thing to
think about tfiem or not. Maybe it
wasn't so bad to put up a good practi
cal joke on a class mate, but that does
not seem to be the only thing in
volved. It would seem rather that the
university ought to be considered a
little bit at least.
A year ago a certain legislature that
met in Lincoln made a rather small
appropriation for the maintenance of
the institution. It was probably justi
fied by the needs of other things in
the state. Under those circumstances,
it was alright. But we needed more
and think that we ought to have had
it. How then are we to get It?
The Idler believes the only way is to
show that we are the best thing in the
state, the great mdispensible factor
that will bring the state to the fore
most rank in the union. To do this,
the students ought to take upon them
selves at least a slight moral duty.
The tax payer of Nebraska does not
want his money spent on something
that will bring no return. It is not a
business proposition. Consequently,
he votes for the man that will go to
the legislature and handle the state
funds judiciously.
If said tax payer crawls out of bed
in the morning, and after building the
kitchen fire, puts his feet in the oven
and takes his morning paper to read
the news of the bus" bodies, and finds
therein contained a glowing account
of a "mysterious disappearance of a
student, which Is attributed to the
wierdly pranks of his class mates, he
feels that he would rather see the state
treasurer skip out with the money and
get across the line into Canada. And
when he wanders up to the polls on
election day, his mind has been made j
up accordingly. About the time three-1
fourths of the voters of the state have
come to the 'same conclusiony-things
begin to look dark, and when the legis
lators vote to put up a few normal
schools and build additions to tho in
sane asylum instead of helping higher
education wo wish we hadn't
As the Idler said In the beginning,
it is pretty hara to tell whether it is
a good thing to think or not. It Is
alright to have a full grown class
scrap, but when you get through, just
quit Don't get into something that
will stir up all the people in the coun
try, and make them think the state
university is one department of the
big stone building south-west of town,
wiih the senior class as the occupants I
of the ward for the violent on the (
upper floor or that it Is run in complete
harmony with and on the same prin-4
cipal as the other big stone building
just south of town. It isn't healthy. ,
Figuc it out, if it takes all summer
but don't do it in a way that will give
the wrong kind of publicity. And
when you get through, come round and
the idler will give you the heartiest
grip of any one on the campus. ,
The Idler has been wondering if it
takes ten seniors to capture and deco
rate one junior, how many senior caps !
and canes there will be at the end of,
the next twenty-nine days. About the
only thing a member of the upper ,
class can do is to take a body guard1
of three policemen a couple of small
boys and a dog, not to mention sev-'
enteen or nineteen brother classmen
along when he goes out in the evening
to make a friendly call on one of the
uppir class sisters. What he will do
with his rear guard while he pours
forth his thoughts of everlasting
friendship, we do not know. He must
conclude for himself, and if perchance
lie gets twisted while tLlnklng of his I
homeward journey, he has the prayers!
of the Idler.
