THE RORUM
We are pleased to note the in
creased interest in the Forum. There
is no reason why there shouldn't be
two or three Forum articles every
day. It is a good thing to have ex
pressions of student opinion upon
topics that are of interest to the stu
dent body. It helps the writer to for
mulate his ideas and to have the
courage to espouse them. It stimu
lates interest in the paper, for the
readers are interested in articles that
have the personal element about them.
The Xebraskan wishes to encourage
University people to make use of the
Forum at any time.
BREWERY LITERATURE
During the last few weeks the Xe
braskan has received several circulars
and pamphlets that are aimed at pro
hibition. The curious thing about this
printed matter is that it is sent out
by the Model License League and or
ganizations bearing a similar name
that label their literature so that it
gives the impression that -it contains
arguments favorable to prohibition.
For instance, "The Saloon Is Doomed,"
and "Prohibition in Kansas and
Maine," contain a number of absurd
arguments that would do justice to a
ten-year-old boy. The following is a
sample: "Wise men have said. 'The
drinking places of continental Europe
are the most important factors in the
civilization of these countries because
they add more happiness ad laughter
and contentment and relaxation to the
lives of the people than anything
else.'" We might ask whether in
view of the fact that Russia has pro
hibited the use of vodka and France
is seriously considering taking meas
ures to stop the sale of absinthe, these
nations feel that they have become so
happy and contented that they no
longer need these civilizing influences.
It seems that, driven to desperation,
the liquor interests have resorted, un
der false pretenses, to publishing a lot
of fake argument and distributing it
about the country, hoping that it will
fall into the hands of people who don't
need much to convince them that
liquor is the very thing to make the
people happy and prosperous. The
prohibition wave has frightened th m
and they are carrying on an expensive
advertising campaign In a frantic ef
fort to stop It.
These people are wasting their
money in sending their printed matter
to college dallies. Even if they had
the space to run it,, the argument
would hardly appeal to the readers of
such publications. As requested, we
shall send the "Leagues" a copy of
the paper mentioning "reference to
enclosed."
THE FORUM
Our University Night
Yes. we've called it ours for weeks
and our disappointment was keen
when we were numbered with the
"lost (out) and missing."
Because it is our University and we
love it, we may be allowed just "unter
vier augen" to say in the Xebraskan
some things we might resent else
where. To one whose conscience for
bids endorsement of the dance, what
has the social life of our University to
offer? The "proms' and other danc
ing parties have become traditional,
and the heart of every student thrills
at the mention of our victorious "Corn-
huskers." But there is a goodly mi
nority who do not dance and were
there any choice, the minority would
be larger. One of the finest and most
popular of our Senior girls said, "Our
family are Methodists and strongly op
posed to dancing, but there's no social
University life without it, so I dance
here only." Have we only heel and
toe amusements to offer? Is it
now, "Heels I win, heads I lose?" We j
believe the cream or Xebraska youth
Is to be found in the University. Can
the thought endure that amusements
which appeal to the head would be
unpopular? The demand for Univer
sity Xight tickets indicates the re
verse. Had the price been fifty cents
every ticket would have been sold.
It is a libel on our young people to
maintain that a class "prom" will pay
out at the rate it costs, and there is
danger of loss if a matinee be offered
for University Xight. And we hereby
offer to guarantee under bond a fifty
dollar house for Saturday afternoon
provided action therefor be taken be
fore Friday noon and the matinee
properyl advertised. We don't believe
heads are on a "slump" at our Uni
versity, and with faith in her students
and friends, make this bid for a de
velopment whose trend shall be head
ward rather than heelward.
ALICE E. DAY.
and nobility of mind are thus demon
strated. The New Jersey legislators
may be far above the Cuban president,
but if so their breed has undergone a
great change in recent years.
Of course, it is unjust to compare
Mr. Robins with Billy Sunday. Mr.
Robins is sincere and collects nothing
for his work, while Sunday (like Jack
Johnson) demands a guarantee. But
if any progress is to be made with in
telligent, thinking people, even along
Mr. obins' lines, his adherents must
stop trying to convince us that Billy
Sunday is a fit and chosen servant of
the Man of Galilee. C. C. DALES
University Night
For some time the subject of a
matinee for University Night has been
discussed pro and con about the. cam-
pus. Some or tne students seem 10 ue
of the opinion that the committee have
not given the matter due consideration.
The committee have carefully con
sidered the possibility of such a per
formance. It must be remembered
however that the success of a matinee
would depend upon a number of condi
tions other than the sale of a suffi
cient number of tickets to meet the
necessary expenses of an afternoon
program. Had the need for a matinee
been apparent at an earlier date It is
quite possible that it might haveb een
arranged, but since the Annual Gym
nasium Exhibition has been scheduled
for Saturday afternoon and is to be an
All University Event a matinee is of
course quite out of the question. Those
ho failed to secure reservations
.should remember that four hundred
seats in the gallery will be available
at 7:30 Saturday evening.

Two articles which have recently
appeared in the Xebraskan express
widely divergent views as to the ef
fects of the Robins campaign.
As to the success of the meetings.
it is rumored that Mr. Robins himself
said afterward that the student udy
at Xebraska is irreligious. Mr. Robins'
handling of the great economic ques
tions was exceptional. He held and
interested his audience and gave us
much food for thought along those
lines. It was only when he told us
that orthodoxy would bring about
ideal conditions that he failed to con
vince.
Mr. Chatt tells us that such "profes
sional soul-savers" as Billy Sunday are
necessary in the world today. God
help us if this is true. If Billy Sun
day Is not vulgar, we misunderstand
the meaning of the word.
It is not strange that the New Jer
sey legislature invited Mr. Sunday to
address them, or that five thousand
people tried to enter the building after
its seating capacity was exhausted
The taste of the American public for
vaudeville, even though vulgar, is well
known. But does the mere fact that
the Xew Jersey legislature invited
Sunday to address them prove his
worth? In this connection it may be
mentioned that the president of Cuba
recently visited Jack Johnson's train
ing quarters, shook hands with him
and watched him train. Hats off to
Jack Johnson, whose purity of soul
