|G|vES ADVICE
TO STUDENTS

That there are a few colleges In
this country that may be attended with
less expense to the student than the
University of Nevada, Is one OF the
points made by President w. e. Clark
of the University of Nevada In a tetter
sent to. every high school student and
principal in Nevada.
In regard to this point. President
Clark states, Three hundred dollars
will cover all the necessary campus
expenses for the student throughout
the whole university year. This does
not include the cost of clothing, trav-
cling or personal extras" These lat
ter items admit of varied margin, but
at the present time, he stated today,
there are students attending the Ne
yada university who were allowing
themselves only $25 semester for
these additional items, making it pos
sible for student observing that bud
get to attend the university upon $500
a year II he manages properly. Ac-
cording to catalogues of many East
ern colleges. the bare tuition fee and
living expenses amount to $500 a year.
with the environment affording a much
greater demand upon the pin money"
part OF the students allowance.
''The scale Of living at the university
is simple and democratic" says Presi-
dent Clark. mo young man or woman
should hesitate to enter this univer-
sity on mistaken thought that neces-
sity for close economy In expenditure
will in any way operate against any
student here. Many of the students
earn part of their way while attend
ing the university.
Personally ! think 1t best that all
young men and women, during the
years they are collegians. should do
real work for pay. ! further believe.
however, that since our university has
the long three and half months sum-
mer vacation. II Is much the better
plan for young men and women to
get their money earning experience
during this time of vacation from uni
versity work. II Is better both for the
student and for the university II the
student can be free from need to work
for pay during the university year.
He is more able then to get the full
and around development from the uni
yersity experience. Taking all the
time necessary to do every line of his
college class and labratory work we'll.
he still has time to take active part In
the general student activities, to profit
by service in various singing. dramat-
ic, literary, athletic or social organiza-
tions and to make vital friendships.
Careful planning ahead. saving and
good management in these days OF
scarce labor and high wages. ought to
make 1t possible for almost any young
man or woman to earn and save, DUR
ing his summer three and a half
months a large part of the necessary
5000 for his university years campus
expenses. A little additional help from
the home folks or a small sum borrow
ed from some good friend or from
some student loan fund will make up
the whole needed cost Of the campus
year.
college education pays. II pays
most college graduates in straight dol
lars and cents. because their college
training fits them to fill better paying
positions. But, far more Importantly
college education pays every student
who makes good use of four years
training because 1t fits him better to
serve his family, his friends, his COM
munity, his state and his generation
Any thoughtful young man or woman
must see that four years of the best
must pay since 1t will
make all the forty years which follow
richer and more fruitful.
"Your state offers you a splendid
opportunity. All the people
on the campus will welcome you when
you enter int< this opportunity next
fall. | have met scores OF men and
women who lamented sadly that they
had passed by chance to go to col
lege-I have yet to hear the first col
lege graduate Il have talked with
OF such graduates. who ex-
pressed regrets that they had gone to
college"
