TO OUST HIGH SCHOOL FRATS.
The Inter-Fraternity Council has
passed against high school fraterni
ties and is backed by the faculty.
The rumors that have been alloat
since the beginning of the year, when
a number of supposedly high school
fraternity men were Investigated, that
students were still secretly lighting
the cause of high school fraternities
have been investigated also. The
fraternities individually nnd as a
body are against fraternities In the
high Bchool. The spirit of real fra
ternalism is unknown by such or
ganizations and their attitude toward
school work and other students Is
degratory to the high school. The
movement to institute new high school
fraternities, as has been rumored,
will meet with the taboo of the Uni
versity. Greek-letter fraternities at
Nebraska have expressed themselves
as strongly against the high school
fraternity movement and the few
members of University fraternities
who aid and abet such movements
will meet with serious difficulty if
they are apprehended by University
authorities. Investigations of high
school fraternity rumors 'from all over
the state show that the stubborn spirit
of high school men In their attitude
toward the fight on high school fra
ternities Is a spirit that must be
quenched and the boys' eyes opened
to the facts regarding high school
fraternities. Not only will high
school fraternity men be rerused en
trance into University fraternities but
University men who encourage the
movement to install fraternities in
high schools will be ostracized by
the Institution. The faculty and
Inter-Fraternity Council are out to
end the high school fraternity so far
as the University is concerned at
least.
TRACTOR TESTS.
taken by the council will probably
taboo Kansas City orchestras by the
fraternities who hold their dances
this year. Drastic action will be
taken it Is assured. Nebraska has
already taken drastic action and Bho
will stand pat. No amount of con
fldcnce work, braggadocio or threats
will mako the students retract the
resolutions passed to aid In reducing
the cost of amusements. The student
body feels that If the ownerB or the
places of amusements will not meet
prices which they are able to pay
that the University men and women
tun do with a great deal leBS enter
talnm'cnt. The organizations have
dispensed with tho formals. Wha
will bo, next?

. BOOST THE UNIVERSITY.
Every loyal Cornhuaker will have
an opportunity to boost for his Alma
Mater during the next two weeks.
There are two ways to do this. One
is to talk University crywhue you
go. High school s ' .. s are always
eager to hear about tuliee life. Tell
them about University life, Just as It
Is, the work and the play. Interest
your high school friends In the Uni
versity bo that when they are grad
uated from high school they will con
tinue their education and will prob
ably come to tho University of Ne
braska. If you are talking to a high
school athletic star tell him about
Varsity football, basketball, track,
wrestling, etc. If you aro talking to
a music enthusiast, tell him that our
rmlrt band Is recognized as one of
the best college bands, describe the
work of the Chorus being sure to
montinn tho public recitals and do
not fall to portray the work of the
orchestra and the social times con
nM,i with It. If you aro talking to
someone with Journalistic Inclinations,
show him your latest numbers of the
Pally Nebraskan and the Awgwin and
tell him that any ambitious iTniver
Blty student can get a placo on the
staffs of these publications. T.ius you
can continue indefinitely dedrrlhing
the activities of special interest to
the lndMdual yo" are talking to
If the primary interest of your
high school friend lies in scholarship
or In the career for which his school
is preparing him, tell of the courses
offered in the ten colleges In the
University. Give him the Interesting
side-lights that' he cannot get from a
perusal of the catalog of the Univer
sity. Tell him of our splendid faculty
and Its ranking in educational circles.
Describe the equipment in the vari
ous departments, especially the scien
tific laboratories.
If your friend inquires about the
social life of the University, describe
the wholesome social atmosphere
Give a glowing description of the
parties you have attended, and do not
forget to tell of the movement for
economy. Do not tell theBe things to
the young people only, but let their
parents hear about them.
The second way to boost the U H
versity is to prove by your own
actions that It Is turning out a good
product. This not only will encour
age young people to come to the Unl-
ersity, but will make the people ot
the state who pay the taxes willing
for their representatives in the legis-
ature and the senate to grant larger-
funds to the Doard of Regents to run
Student Opinion
A student making bin own waj
through Nebraska can rcallzo how
hard it must bo for a studant in Eu
ropo to do it, conditions being bo
much worse thoro.

building project. This way of boost
ing the University needs little stress
however, because most of the stu
dents are a good recommendation for
their school.
llnturraittj (alenlar
farmers should have an Idea of the
power of the machine they are buy
ing and should know that they are
purchasing a machine that meets the
requirements of laws which are en
acted to protect the farmer. The
rating of a trcator may be much lower
than is claimed by the manufacturer.
This is corrected after the tests are
made and the farmer is assured that
he is not being swindled. Foreign
countries and surrounding states are
watching with interest the Nebraska
tests. France has written for a de
scription of the methods or testing
and will prrbably take up this Ne
braska means of testing ror tractors
which are manufactured in France.
The peasants who are rebuilding
I ranee will need traction engines and
it is for the best that France Is con
sidering testing tractors which are
sold to her citizens. But the tests
which originated in Nebraska and
which received legislative support for
the protection of Nebraskans are
winning international fame and popularity.
AFTER THE FORMALS WHAT?
Nebraska is not alone in her stu
dent movement to reduce prices. The
Kansas University students claim that
dance music costs them more than it
does here at Nebraska. The claim
i mA that three piece orchestras
cost Kansas U organizations as much
as a ten plece orchestra costs nere.
tf thu h true we heartily sympathize
with the Kansas U stand on the
question. As at Nebraska the fra
ternities have promised their un.'ted

I wonder why that those beloved of
men,
Must see the sun set 'ere the day
is done,
And why those strongest warriors of
the fray,
Must leave the battle 'ere tho fight
is won.
I wonucT why tho fairest flowers ot"

Mubt d.oop bo soon, before their
beauty's known,
Perhaps they go to bloom within the
fields
Of honor, that our own beloved
have sown.
