Nebraska, as second-class mall matter,
under the act of Congress of March
S, 1879.
TWO PROBLEMS AT ONCE
Perhaps an apology is due at this
time for forcing upon the public the
discussion of two somewhat similar,
yet clearly different, propositions.
While the matter of the Single Tax
will be somewhat abated for the time
being, It will not not be entirely drop
ped, but will give way to the Student
Union as the principal topic for dis
cussion. Consequently, a' clear differ
entiation is in order.
The Single Tax is a fee levied on all
registering for the purpose of support
ing certain student activities. The
Student Union is harder to define. It
Is an organization having as Its ulti
mate goal the establishment of a
building devoted entirely to student
Bocial life. The Single Tax will sup
port certain established institutions.
The Student Union will found a new
and invaluable tradition.
In order to illustrate our explana
tion of the Student Union, we have ar
ranged for the publication of a series
of articles on the Unions of other
schools. These will occur twice a
week in The Nebraskan and will be
written by men around school who
have studied the question. We feel
that If these are closely followed they
will be of great assistance In the dis
cussion of the important problem.

GIRLS NOT DISMISSED,
MAY BE EXCUSED
This column is going to be funny,
but we have always been serious
minded and our habits aren't formed
that way. Anyhow, don't mind us
please, yet.
We might have called this column:

SPRING AGAIN
Such a funny thing to do,
To put the Spring in verse;
Perhaps it will be awful
More likely 'twill be worse.
Now, Spring has .been remarked upon
By poets far and near;
So there Isn't much that's left to say,
Excepting that it's here.

rumor, is wearing Clifford 8cott' Sig

knows how she got It. Peculiar

PROPER PUBLICITY
On a recent occasion the Purdue
Exponent refused to publish a certain
news story that would have created
a sensation among the students. The
staff knew that the article was to
corao out In the other dailies of the
state, but allowed themselves to be
"scooped" because the alleged source
of information refused to confirm the
rumor, , and because the news was
derogatory to Purdue athletics.
This shows the right spirit, and the
staff of the Exponent is to be congrat
ulated. There seems to be too much
of a desire for scandal for scandal's
sake In the newspaper world today.
Many reporters are glad to hand in
mere rumors because of the sensation
they will create. To see a college
paper taking the initiative In the re
form of the disgusting habit is indeed
encouraging.
The Exponent staff could have pub
lished this story with glaring head
lines and received the commendation
of students for their news-gathering
ability. They could have gracefully
apologized when the report proved
false, without losing the respect of
these same readers. But Purdue would
have been injured in the meantime,
and the only benefit gained would
have been the stimulation of the
nerve centers of a few students who
crave the sensational.
The sooner the newspaper profes
sion and the public realize that a
newspaper Is a constructive aid to
civilization, and not a scandal mon
ger, the better off we will be.

ference meetings' will be considered ,
a sufficient excuse for missing
classes. :
This is the dean's statement:
"My attention has just been called
to the statement made yesterday in
The Daily Nebraskan that all univer
sity girls will be dismissed from
their classes Tuesday and, Wednes
day of next week. I wonder who is
responsible for that statement, as I
have issued no such order, and I wish
that you would correct the impres
sion made by this erroneous state
ment. "It is true, however, that attend
ance at the meetings of the voca
tional conference will be considered
valid' excuse for missing classes, and
any girls who show that they were
actually in such attendance will be
granted excuses. All other girls must
attend their usual classes."

It's not every day that a sorority
finds a Christmas stocking hanging
on its doorknob The "bids" to the
Alpha Phi formal came out Monday
afternoon, and strange but true, all
but two of the thirty or more Phi
Gams were Invited. The slighted
ones, Orville Chatt and Leland
Champe, spitefully stole a perfectly
good sock belonging to Goodwin An
derson, filled the dainty. thing with
the "sented" missives after labeling
them with such epitaphs as, "Feet
sore, can't lead the march;" "Fol
lowed a wagon off last week;" "Not
here; see city jail;" "No such name,
see Old Ladies' home." In the morn
ing, when the "early birds" started
for their 8 o'clocks, they found the
premature May basket artistically
draped on the door.

THE WANDERER
I am a wandering son-of-a-gun,
And my arms am pinkly Btretching,
I'm sitting now on a green toad-stool,
And a poem of merit am sketching.
I've walked awhile with a sad-jag on,
And I've often strolled drunk and
.happy;
And the yellow-topped trees on the
ground-hog hills,
Revolving, have made me daffy.
And when the night her night-robe
flings, ,
And the stars come out to riot,
I don my orange harkening suit,
And listen to the quiet.
I've seen the world go 'round and
round,
Since I have been a boy;
And when I was a giggling girl,
Go-rounding was my joy.
