THE COMING ELECTIONS
During the last few years factional
politics have beeu so apparent that
the two contending parties are like
ned to the pioverbial sides of the
fence. Hard feelings has arisen be
cause of the earnestness that has
been shown by the opposing factions,
questionable tactic are charge,!
against both siuts at all elections and
the rossible friendships that might
be formed between brother students
at Nebraska are almost an imposs
ibility at the present time.
Many solutions have been offered
by the so-called political leaders of
the factions, by alumni interested
in the welfare of Nebraska, and the
uiiversii: faculty. Some of the plans
have been tried and have failed. The
Green Goblins, Iron Sphinx and Vi
kings rae refrained from putting
up candidal es. but this has made the
situation no better. What can be done
to stop this evil that has reached such
a ri int that it is endangering all fra
ternal life and the ever very" spirit
of Nebraska?
Here is a solution that might make
our politics cleaner. It is very simple,
but it would be effective, insieau vi
the limitation of candidates to two
for each office, get five, six, or
even seven candidates in the field
for every contested position. By
doing this the "spoils system" could
not work. It would mean that the
sophomores in one organization would
be backing a man or woman of some
organization that would be backing an
opposing candidate in the Freshmen
or Junior classes. There could be
no-pre-election promises, there would
calibre of the applicants rather than
be no solid" houses for a ticket, the
the organization to which he belongs
wuld decide where the vote would go.
Five or six candidates in me iour
five people in the field and tickets
classes would mean twenty or twenty
could not exist.
It is not too late to try such a
plan. Applications need not be in
until five o'clock tonight and we can
start "cleaning house" today if we
want to.
A new tradition is in the making at
Nebraska the learning and singing
f Nebraska songs as tiicy have nevei
boiii learned or sung before. Last
ulsiit hundieds of men came out on
Nebraska flicld on short no'.ce to
i!!g the Nebraska songs, to teach
those songs to the fellows who do not
know them, and to put Nebraska
spirit into Nebraska activities.
The Kosmet Klub is to be congrat
ulated for its interest in starting the
:novement to familiarize all Nebraska
.students with the Nebraska songs.
There will be sings before every foot
ball game, out on the field, and every
tudmt is urged to be present. There
U nothing to cheer the players on tiie
fh Id so much as to hear the sf irring
strains of the Cornhusker or the nerv
ing mucic of the chant a betUr yell
than the famous Rock Chalk, Jay
Hawk of Kansas and we need to
know the songs to get the fu'l effect.
The Daily Nebraskan is glad to see
this movement started, and is glad to
welcome a new tradition, attendance
at which will bo as binding upon one
as it is to attend Ivy day exerc'ses
and it urges that before the football
game tomorrow afternoon, everyone
'.earn the song3 and be ready to come
out on the field ready to sing tnc Ne
braska songs that Nebraska athletes
like to hear when they are in the
.luck of the game.
On with the song!

THE MAN WHO DID NOT JOIN.
The fact that a man while in col
logo does not join a fraternity or is
not asked to join one is not of necess
ity an argument against the man or
against the fraternity. The number
of fraternities in any institution is
o small to admit all the students.
The reasons which induce students to
stay out or which prevent them from
being asked are as numerous as the
students themselves. However, stay
ing out, whatever the vause does not
mean that the student is of any dif
ferent kind of clay. For the man who
did not join there are just as many
possibilities as for the man who did
join.
There are advantages to be gained
on either side. In the university are
other activities and associations that
present opportunities for friendship
and social service. There are athlet
ics, publications, dramatics, debating,
military, professional societies, clubs
and many other activities which hold
opportunities for the man who ill not
join as well as for the man who Joined
Success depends first upon the indi
vidual and secondarily upon his associations.
Welcome.

TOMORROW'S GAME
Tomorrow Nebraska plays it's first
football game of the year. The team
has been working hard for nearly
to meet the invading team. Nebras
ka's entire attention will be directed
at our team when the whistle blows
Saturday afternoon.
Here are a few things to remember
during the contest! We are loyal Hus
kers, every one of us, and despite
what happens to our men. are are
loyal. While there is little probab
ility that our team will be scored
upon, should the Wesleyan team cross
our goal line, acknowledge their
achievement for it will take S0M2.
TE." M to do it. When the Wesleyan
team femes on the field give them
the cheer you would like Nebraska
to receive when we make our invasion
of the East, When the official Ne
rraFka song is sung stand up, remove
your haiF, and sing it with the same
loyalty you would the "Star Spangled
Banner," for the "Cornhusker" is to
Nebraska, as our national anthem is
to the United States.
Remember, that if a foul is com
mitted in the excitement of the game
and either Nebraska or Wesleyan is
penalized, booing at the referee, if
we are loosers or cheering If we gain
a few yards, Is mighty poor stuff to
come from real football fans.
The final courtesy we can show
both teams is to stand in our places
until the last of the contending play
ers is off the field, for the men are
lead for the hot showers. Let them
get to the locker room without mak
ing them fight the crowd to get out.
During the game the cheer leaders
will direct the rooting. Let's make
Nebraska cheering this year better
than It has ever been before. When a
yell Is started, finish It wlta.T r

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
The Daily lowan
THERE'S A RREASON
There is a reason for everything
and it very often happens that a thing
has several adequate reasons. A
great many justifications may be
found for the green cap, any one or
which is sufficient to warrant that
the freshmen not be allowed to ioigct
the ultimatum concerning a distinct
ive headgear.
The freshman is and should bo a
marked man. He i3 the pledge of
tho University. And he will soon
learn, too, that there 2e pledge du
ties. An added touch of green will
keep him under the careful eye of the
upperclaassman, will make protoiuent
gentlemanly manners on his pait, and
any unsportsmanlike auu.ji u ur.-
uncover the loafing freshmau who
does not relish carrying fuel for the
University bonfires or giving the side
walk and the best seat in the Dleach-
ers to the upperclassman.
University authorities have taken
the stand, and rightly so, that it is up
to the student body to Keep the tradi
tion alive. A campus is known and
often judged by its traditions and te
one that has none is, perhaps, rut lit
tle better than the one that allocs
those already started to diie. And,
so, rather than working an unreason
ing hardship on the freshman alone,
the undertaking of the green cap icea
places a real responsibility on the up
perclassman. It is a Job for the old
er student He will be expected to
foster the Idea of proper training and
discipline for the freshman and, inc1
dentally, bring to the campus ail the
college spirit and rich association ti.'.t
every well-observed tradition will develop.
SQUIRES SOCIETY HOLDS
FIRST MEETING OF YEAR
The Squires held their first meeting
of the year at the Phi Alpha Delta
house Wednesday evening. They
were addressed by Dean Seavey, and
afterwards held a business 3ession.
Lloyd Rolfe was appointed a com

section at the football games: a com
mittee, with Emerson McCarthy as !
chairmen was selected to take charga (
of class elections, which will be taken j
care of by the Australian ballot syt i
tem. This is an innovation in tne law .
college presidential elections and it
should do away with the confusion
usually found in a caucus election.
The Squires also adopted as an in
