THANKS TO OMAHA
Through rain and sunshine, mud and slime, gallant guides con
ducted students in and out all the nooks and corners of Greater
Omaha Friday, from ten o'colck in the morning until eleven-thirty in
the evening. The keys of the city were in truth handed over to the
Btudents, and were used to good advantage in opening the custom
locked entrances of art collections, smelters, factories, packing
houses and various other Interesting places. The day was a con
tinual round of pleasure from the minute of boarding" the train until
the tired and sleepy homecoming early Saturday morning.
Those who went to Omaha are already looking forward to the
time next year when they can go again on another such excursion.
The day was a welcome respite from the hard work of the last lap
of the acedemic year. Studious cares were thrown aside and students
and faculty joined hands as pals, and "took in" the sights together.
No doubt it was a pleasant surprise for some students to find that
faculty persons are, after all. only human when they are removed
from the learned atmosphere of the class room. The few faculty
members who went along enjoyed the trip fully as much as did the
Mudents.
The five hundred or more students who journed to Omaha are
truely grateful to that city for the fine treatment accorded them
whole there. No stone was left unturned to provide means of enter
tainment. The University will not forget such hospitality. We hope
that the excursion strengthened the respect of the University and
Omaha for each other. We trust that the University created a fa
vorable impression among Omaha business men, and that they will
have a better feeling toward college bred men. If these few things
have resulted from the Omaha trip, it was indeed worth while.
POST BELLI) M EXCESS
What some observers have termed ati ".insane social season" is
now drawing to a close. The approach of warm weather and the end
of the school year sound the death knell of what has certainly been
one of the most crowded social years at Nebraska. Dating from the
beginning of the second semester, there has been a continued suc
cession of formal and informal parties. Not only has every week
end been filled with functions, but also, the mid-week dances have
been well patronized by university people. Every conceivable organ
ization of the school has been possessed of the desire to give a for
mal party. Some societies that have previously refrained from giving
dances, have been unable to resist the infection of the times, and
have had not one, but several parties. It has been difficult for many
organizations to find open dates upon which to give their parties, for
the hotels and dance halls have been booked far in advance for the
entire school year. Never before has the University witnessed such
a superfluity of social functions.
There are many theories which attempt to explain the phenome
non. Perhaps the one most generally accepted, is the one that says
the excess of social affairs is the result of the unnatural conditions
caused by the war, and that the whole thing is merely the natural
aftermath of abnormal circumstances. Unnatural ways of living are
usually followed by excesses of one kind or another. The grim
reality of war times imposed restrictions upon the social life of the
university soldiers, and limited the number of parties to almost nil.
When the bonds were loosened and the lid raised, everyone went to
the other extreme. It was but natural, and the crtics that rail at the
so-called extravagances of the past season overlook the Inevorable
endowments of human nature. We must admit that we have in
dulged in society to excess, but we could not hold ourselves any
more than can starved animals, who eat themselves literally to their
death when suddenly they are treated with unlimited quantities of
rich foods. Next year, when conditions have returned to their nor
mal, we will witness a more sane and reasoned social season.
WONDERFUL POLITICS
Life wouldn't be half as enjoyable if it were not for the politicians
at K. U. Isn't it odd the way some people change?
Perhaps you remember the man who wouldn't think of speaking
to you even if he met you face to face on a lonely street, yet by the
simple application of this miraculous political lotion, he decides to
walk down the Hill with you, year, even buys you a coke. Then again
there is the fellow who always makes, it a practice to piay solitaire
with his dances, but on the night of the Prom, keeps only three with
h' girl. Still another, the same Individual who has the reputation of
borro .. .ug everything from a match to a clean collar, comes out In a
fearless manner with "smokes for all."
As a smiling politician greets you tomorrow, Just recall that old
familiar phrase and say to yourself, "ain't nature wonderful??"
