THE DAILY NEBRASKAN A The -worst of all scholnstlc Ills. And sister's shocs nre torn and old. And brother's cars go bare to cold, Poor Dad, he slaves from morn to ulght, And mother's dresses are a sight. But cabs it is and cabs shall be, So we are safe till eternity. Perhaps our English friend who said that American women were suffering from an overdose of Chivalry had a Bon in college; if so, we can readily understand why he engaged in a lit tle sarcasm at out expense. The question of dong away with cabs at university formals has been long agi tated and at one time resulted in a boycott lasting for about a year. As a member of the interfraternlty board, the editor of tho Nebrashan referred to me a letter, "Tho University Girl Has a Mind of Her Own, ' seeking to learn the attitude of the board in re lation to the motion which was made -rto abolish-the-cab systemjl. . We will have to plead guilty to the charge of tho girl journalist of coming from "tho little dinky town"; likewise 'if we happen tb be an upper classman so that wo can have our choice, we must admit that wo would prefer lo dance with a girl who is "radiantly beautiful." Further, not being a girl, we cannot speak concerning the "dampening effect of a walk over the cobblo stones upon shimmering sutin." 'Thus has our friend with one flour ish of her pen swept away every de fense which can be advanced by the interfraternlty board members who forgot to consult the "other Bide." We are forced to disagree in regard to the necessity for walking in slush six cover Improvements in buildings and campus. With all duo respect to tho lawmak ers, we feel called upon to remark that the majority of them do not ap preciate tho "shimmering Bilk," tho "train in one hand," tho "cut flowers in the other," tho "temper serene," and tho millionaire sound of tho cab. All of this is by way of introduction. But really, iBn't it a fact that the legislators would feel moro like ap propriating enough to glvo tho univer sity a campus and buildings suitable to its standing that tho state would feel more lenlont with tho Greek let ter organizations and that moro fra ternity men would stay in school tho full four years if common sense meth ods wcro applied to university social eventB? The school is not a "rich man's" school it is a university where every taxpayer is a stockholder and he expects dividends on his Invcst- jnenL The inleitoierjiltyuncj has done much to lmprivo the condi tion of the school by bottsring tho fra ternity system and its work has only begun. We would not be surprised to Bee several customs at the university rev-' olutlonized within tho next few years as wo are entitled to an" optimistic view, and we, for one, would like to see university men and girls content to eliminate this fooliBh expenditure of money.

Street car facilities can bo had In nearly every part of the city. The cars "make the loop" at the Lincoln hotel corner, or within flfty feet of tho dance hall. The president of the Interfraternlty council stated that he had lived in Lincoln for thirty years and had found street car facilities sufficient for all occasions, including formal parties, al though he lives on North Thirtieth street. But if street cars cannot be had, it would bo expected that somo other conveyance would be provided. If the facts were known, we believe that some of the business men of Lin coln could quito Burvlce the shock "of seeing our gallant young men walking down O street accompanied by a young woman vainly endeavoring to hold up their skirts with one hand, balancing thoir flowers with tho other and nt the same time keeping their gloves spotless and their temper serene."
