THE NEW DANCE PROBLEM
"What -will Miss Graham say about
the new dances?" This is the ques
tion that has been on the minds of a
largo portion of the student body since
the return to school. Some of the
fortunate ones have seen the new eteps
displayed in the cities and other fash
ionable resorts; others have seen
them here in therr milder forms, and
others have either heard or read
about them.
To begin with there seems to be an
atmosphere surrounding their practice
which leads prudent people to hesi
tate and feel their conscience. Those
who have done them for the first time
have the feeling of young George when
he returned with his hatchet from th
proverbial cherry tree. Others who
lave indulged more profusely in the
"art, have won the battle and now en
joy them, believing, "To the pure all
things are pure."
Considered in this light the dancing
University public expects some legis
lation on the question. Two years
ago when dancing took a decided turn
and it was believed by many to be
improper, a ban was placed upon it.
Some action is confidently awaited
now.
There are two cources for the man
agement of social activities first, the
students, and second, the authorities.
Those in control of University activi
ties are not anxious to destroy the
liberty and freedom of the students.
On the other hand, they wish to en
courage it, and we can rest assured
that they will do nothing until they
feel that necessity demands.
This is the opportunity for the stu
dents to manage the problem and re
move the danger of an unpoular rul
ing on the part of the officials. It is
our belief that be new dances like
all others have their right and wrong
methods of execution. In dancing,
like allother things, when a new idea
comes out, the extremist always pre
sents himself to carry it into disre
pute. "The New Dances In Moderation"
seems to us to be a slogan which, if
carried into effect, would meet with
approval and would remove the pos
sibility of legislation against them.
Our suggestion to the dancing enthus
iasts is to ge behind this banner: We
have the two alternatives: Conduct
our dances in a moderate manner
without Interference from the Chair
man of Student Activities or, take the
consequences of a ruling which may
be restrictive and which may cause
the innocent to suffer with the guilty.
Father is not the only one who foots
our bills while in school. The state
of Wyoming has a lien on every stu
dent for approximately $450 for each
year we are In school. Without a
doubt extreme dancing and all its
features will met with universal dis
favor among the taxpayers out In the
state. Looking on the question from
this angle, we find additional food for
thought
"The New Dances in Moderation"
What are we going to do about It?
IN THE NATURE OF ADVICE
For the freshman class of all col
leges there exist certain customs and
traditions for the purpose of impress
ing on the freshman mind that it is
a freshman's business to be seen and
HE
not heard. Some of these customs
0m fnniish nd often arbitrary, but
their survival over years of college
existence proves that they have a cer
tain useful value. Most important of
the freshman regulations at Colorado
Colleere ia the can rule. Graceful sub
mission to this rule Is a sign of good
sense and proper spirit rather than of
cuhsprvlence and lack of spirit. As
with the cap rule so it is with all stu
dent regulations in regard to fresh
men. Compliance is the best Indica
tion of college loyalty and class spirit.
Defiance of these rules is not a defi
ance of the sophomore class but of the
entire student body. Freshman can
best show a sincere desire to serve
their college by learning and observ
ing the traditional regulations which
preceding classes have followed.
In general, then, the same qualities
which succeed in life lead to success
in college. They are a proper self-
respecting spirit of subordination to
rules which surrounding society has
found needful, a willingness to work
hard at lessons when the reward is
remote, the courage to overcome shy
ness and the sense of Inexperience
and to get into some line of work
with the intention of sticking to the
end, the ability to forego pleasure for
duty and the willingness to accept
and hold minor positions well in
preparation for bigger things' to come.
College advancement and self-advancement
demand these qualities. As
President Van Hise of the University
of Wisconsin in slightly more polite
language annually informs the fresh
man class, "If you are not here for
work, get out." Colorado Tiger.

MYSTERY COVERS
THE CAMPUS TODAY
(Continued from page 1)
been a Freshman, for who but a
Freshman with money and social am
bitions would have thought of buying
a "ten center." Another theory is
that the second one in the plot must
have been something more than a
Freshman, for nobody but an upper
classman or a member of the Corn
husker or Awgwan staff would have
enough of the quality of the lion as
to so flagrantly violate the order o!
the Board of Regents.
Still a third probability has been
noised about on the campus. This
time the sleuth is after someone
."higher up." It is thought that the
originator of this theory is one
who had his Freshman Ideal shattered
by seeing one of the faculty enjoying
a pleasant smoke, and by some dev
ious proces of reasoning has connect
ed that incident with the recent scan
dal. The plausibility of the third so
lution offered is somewhat lessened
by the fact that the faculty seldom or
never smoke on the campus.
While unpleasant situations like
this have not been unknown at Ne
braska before, this Is the first time
that the matter has gottea out of offi
cial circles and It is thought that the
matter will be pushed. At any rate
the cigar was not left on the box long
as it was feared that it might be a
bad thing for new students to see such
a close connection between such a
badge of infamy and the reception
strong-box provided for Freshmen
themes.

It's a sad thing and of all the agon

annihilate reason, the saddest Is to be
disappointed in the people you expect
better things of.
