GOOD SPORT
"Good sport," has come to carry in high and as complimentary a comation as the phrase "gallant gentleman," ever did. Today the ethics, and principles of good sportsmanship are being drilled into children from the time they learn to speak. A good sport is given the real admiration of his friends and contemporaries.
So it is in life, and so it is on the football field. An athlete once said that he sincerely believed much of the interest in football was derived from the fact that when watching a football game the spectator saw life pictured on the gridiron. That life was a series of offensive and defensive plays with gains and losses, each a part of the game.
The little boy goes beaming home to mother when a friend calls him a good sport; but the little boy also fights the person who dresis to insinuate he is not. In the game, whether it is life or on the gridron, qualifying as a good sport is as important as making the score, and proud is the school who can point to their team, and their rooters as good sports.
It is well to tell the truth part of the time so you'll be believed when you want to lie, according to a thoughtful freshman.
LEST WE FORGET
Today, the Armature is a thing of the past. Every year finds this event growing more and more dim. Are we forgetting?
Eleven years ago next Monday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m., the Armistice between the Allies and the Central Powers was signed. A war which had been raging for practically four years, throwing the entire world into chaos and finally drawing all nations into the conflict, had been ended. What a rejoicing there was!
This stirring occurrence should still command more than a mere passing notice. It is still the practice of some of the cities, universities, and business houses to observe Nov. 11 as a national holiday. Others feel as though they should notice it, but declare only a half-holiday. At this rate, it soon will not be a holiday at all, but a forgotten chapter in the world's history.
The day is too important to be forgotten and passed by. The armistice should be remembered as the beginning of world peace.
Next to the ability to sing well is the wisdom to refrain from inflicting it upon others.
RECKLESS DRIVING
Reckless driving and the fear of facing responsibilities in case of accidents are brought forcibly to the attention of the reading public by a recent tragedy in Kansas City. A father and mother, returning from a visit with their 17-year old daughter, were killed by a hit-and-run driver. The daughter was in a hospital as the result of having a log amputated following a traffic accident last March. Three little children are left to the mercy of charity.
The motives, that led the driver
to flee, are unknown and will probably remain unknown. Regardless of what prompted them they never can be justified. There may be some unforeseen element that will clear the driver of blame for murder, but somewhere a remorseful conscience is enclosing a hit-and-run driver. Somewhere he is bemoaning the fact that the unfortunate drive was ever taken. Somewhere the voice of a guilty conscience is pointing an unwavering finger and shrieking, "you! you!" into the ears of a fugitive from justice.
EDUCATION OR FOOTBALL?
Don't overlook the Scotchman who does his daily dozen by his neighbor's radio.
EDUCATION
The Carnegie report on football athletic attitude is a very significant finger in the direction the present interlegale athletic attitude is taking. "Professionalism enters when favor or aid is given an athlete because he is an athlete," said the report; and three-fourths of the large and representative number of colleges investigated were guilty of professionalism under this distinction.
Once upon a time the study of mankind through its expressions and actions was the purpose of going to college. Once that was thought worthy, sufficient in itself for its retention. At the same time there gradually grew up the idea that the body should be cultivated with the mind; and relatively general and harmless games were played in colleges. Everyone participated, and no one cared particularly about the results. "A sound mind in a sound body" was the ideal. Then playing to win began. Coaches were introduced. Athletic training centered upon those few who were athletically built and inclined. Professionalism broke in by the rear entrance through "athletic scholarships," "athletic jobs," etc. Then came "athletic loans," next "athletic gifts" and finally "athletic slush funds."
After studying the situation for three and a half years, the Carnegie Institute published its results for consideration. It reveals what many suspected but few could prove. It shows how general professionalism has become.
Regardless of our belief it is only fair to study the report as a basis for future attitude. If the decision is that college has changed from a mental gymnasium to an athletic stadium it will be better to know than to continue thinking in the stealthy and surreptitious manner that has dominated for some time.
SENATE CENSURE
For the first time in 27 years the Senate has censured one of its own members. Senators have spent a great deal of effort investigating practically everything in the United States but themselves. On the face of it Senator Bingham is guilty, but defends himself by saying he had no intention to do wrong. He claims that his interest in a protective tariff was the reason for preamitting an agent of the Connecticut Manufacturers Association into secret sessions of the senate finance committee. He must have been carried away from reason by this unusual interest! The senators might take this resolution a little personally, although it was intended for only one of them. Influence, no doubt, is exerted on the senators in more ways than by agents sitting in on secret hearings. A little more investigating and censuring might bring in startling returns.

Mother and Father Have Gone Back to School to Keep Up With Youngsters BY JOSSEPH S. WARNREY United Press, Staff Correspondent

Washington,—(UP)—Mother and father have gone back to school. The urge for education to keep space with the younger generation of today has infected adults, according to Miss E. Ruth Pyrtle, president of the National Education Association.

*From the Daily News* **Anker**
Saturday, University of Nebraska at Lincoln alumni, and we who are in school take this opportunity to prove that Nebraska is a bigger and better institution.
Certainly, the alumni are interested in all this, and pretend to like it, but they have not come back for such treatment. They would rather be together with their college pals and talk over old times. They would stroll by U. hull which was social Science buildings of their time.
They want homecoming day to be their day.

Moscow, (UP)-Half of all the peasant households in the Soviet Union will have merged their land holdings in the agricultural communities by 1833, just made more are carried through successfully.
The merits and eventual effect of these so-called "collective farms" are still matter or serious dispute. The government is not involved that peasants are joining the movement in larger numbers than expected. There is no doubt, of course, that the government is using the economic pressure to accomplish this
At the end of the last fiscal year, Sept. 30, more than a million farms had been merged into communes of different types and sizes. Next year, from present indications, it is estimated that of some 13 million hectares (about 32 million acres) will be cultivated on a co-operative basis.
That all organized houses falling in grade average below one credit point for each semester hour will be placed on probation for the ensuing semester is the recent decision of the Indiana University. All social privileges for the semester will be taken under the "C" average in house falling under the "C" average.

Miss Pyrtey pointed out that a survey made in 3,000 communities showed 300,000 adults had enrolled in schools for various courses this winter. These grown-ups take home-making and medicine law.

"But the three R's are still the fundamental basis for education of children. The time in consumed teaching reading writing and arithmetic in schools is reduced."

Mind and Body Function As One Natural Organis.

New York.—The prevalent theory that man's body and his mind, soul or spirit are two different and distinct things that can be studied in the sciences is called zoology of the University of California and honorary president of Science Service, in a forthcoming book by William E. Ritter, professor emeritus of
It is Doctor Ritter's contention that whatever we do and whatever we are, we do and are as living organization, as our own organization, understand any of our particular activities, such as using our eyes in seeing and our brain in thinking, as if these were independent of our senses attributes involved in these activities.
"Few paradoxes of human habits are more puzzling to the naturalist," he states, "than is the amount of information individuals self, while neglecting the fact that individuals must be alive in order to survive themselves or men to study. The problem of vision, like all problems concerning ourselves, is inseparable from understanding them."
The philosopher and the biologist, no less than the physicist, need a theory of relativity, Doctor Ritter believes. An adequate theory of relativity, he states, will have to include quality-quantity as a "continuum" because we sense that the Einsteinian theory contains spacetime as a "continuum".
