THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1915
Some people at least are thinking
about the honor system. A debate Is
scheduled upon that subject at the
Palladian Society for Friday evening.
It -would be interesting to hare some
of our star debaters discuss that Ques
tion at convocation some time.
The University is proving a source
of much debate and interest in the
daily sessions of the legislature. Stu
dents should keep in touch with what
Is going on down there. It is only a
few blocks to the state house and now
is a good time to see the legislature in
action. The opportunity may not pre
sent itself again soon.
It has been suggested that Dr. Con
dra and his motion pictures be in
cluded in the road show which is one
of the group of entertainments that
will be taken over the state during
University week. The suggestion Is
worthy of consideration. These pic
tures show the views of the campus
and farm and many other things of in
terest. There are pictures of the dif
efrent professors caught here and
there about the campus. The people in
the state would do doubt appreciate
this opportunity of meeting these men
in their native haunts. Dr. Condra is
well known over the -state and would
prove a drawing card for this entertainment
THE FORUM
In the last f ew issues of The Daily
Xebraskan articles have appeared ad
vocating the discontinuance of crook
ing at University dances. As a Uni
versity co-ed I wish to go on record
as opposed to any interference along
this line.
Although I never have smoked in
my life I have no objection to my
gentlemen friends smoking in my
presence. On the other hand I en
joy a limited amount of smoking.
Neither do I believe that I am alone
in this view, because many other girls
have expressed the same opinion to
mbe siDce these articles started.
For the benefit of those girls who do
object to men smoking in their pres
ence, most gentlemen ask the permis
sion of the pirls before indulgiiig iu
the practice. I believe that in so do
ing they fulfill all objections which
any girl can have to the practice. If
fche has objections she has the privi
lege and the opportunity of giving
voice to them and if she does not she
has no one to blame but herself.
As long as the .gentlemen do not ob
ject to the girls dressing in the out
landifh costumes in which most of
htHi now clothe themselves. I believe
that no girl has the right to object, to
her friend doing as their desires
along the smoking lines may dictate.
Now as far as the harmful effects
of smoking cigarettes is concerned, it
is a disputed point what kind of smok
ing is the most harmful. Certainly no
sort of smoking could be more harm
ful than smoking a pipe. In a pipe the
nicotine collects at the base of the
pipe and in the stem and every mouth
ful of smoke must go through this
poisonous mass. In summary along
this line I might add that many of the
modern costumes do more damage to
the health of students than any sort of
smoking possibly can.
In order to secure final determina
tion upon this question I suggest that
other girls write their pinions and
have them published in" the Daily
paper. I feel sure that the majority of
the girls who attend University dances
feel as I do along this line and I am
anxious to read their discussions.

REPORTER SECURES
NEGLECTED. MOON STORY
Finally Discovern That There Will be
, no Full Moon This Month Girl
Reporter Secures Story
The assignment maker on the Daily
Xebraskan heard a rumor a couple of
weeks ago about something out of the
ordinary concerning the moon, to be
gotten from Professor Sweetey. Every
day it was assigned to a differ re
porter with the result that r i ne
hesitated, then grew brave and ven
tured to approach the observatory as
a seeker after the truth, but returned
saying that there was nothing to be
told. Nevertheless the editor, nothing
daunted, continued to assign It
At last a certain young lady re
porter was given the task and like the
others, she hesitated but finally
screwed up her courage and in fear
and trembling, made her way to the
fated place.
But what was it? Was it the pro
verbial moon of green cheese, or a
newly discovered variety? Such were
the questions which disturbed her
-nental equilibrium as she hurried on
her way.
Again Professor Sweezey wearily
explained that it was not a strange
phenomenon and that he did not have
a moon in captivity but it was only
that there could be no full moon this
month because of the shortened num
ber of days in February.
"Only that!" And he dared to say
"only." Why, isnt that enough? Just
think girls! Xo full moon in February!
Oh,' -the sorrow attached to that for
now, February of 1915, must pass to
be gone forever and no fair co-ed can
wander in the light of the full moon
and, gazing over her left shoulder,
wish that wish which lies nearest her
heart
But never mind, girls. February is
a dreary old month anyway and
"Spring is coming."
