HICK WE DISAGREE In glancing through a circular ad vertisement of The New -Fraternity, a scathing criticism of university life by George Henry Gumlelfinger, wc ran across the folowing recommenda tion of the book: "In The New Fraternity you have delivered a powerful and much-needed message, in my judgment you nave courageously attacked the chief evils in American college life. The fra ternity and football, by fostering vic ious habii and wrong ideals are lowering the standards of higher edu cation. As conditions now are in our universities, the chief tributes of 'glory' and prestige go to men like your character Tom Kuhler, whose merits can only be measured by the pound. Professor George Elliott Howard. University of Nebraska." To us this means only one thing. It is Professor's Howard's conception of conditions existing not only in Am erican colleges in. general, but par ticularly at the University of Xebras ka. He has been conected with this institution for a good many cears anl the ideas he advances undoubtedly have their foundations here. At pre sent he is on leave of absence but that does not prevent us from aking issue with him in this matter. Professor Howard is the first person we have known to make this charge against the University of Nebraska We do not believe that he has faculty or student support in these accusa tions. Why does he l:nk fraternities and football? What have they in common, that he bombards them both with one ToUey? We wish he had delved far ther, into the details of the question and defended his statements with a bit of logic and reason. Why, we wondc-r, did he cot cite a few ex amples or statistics to piove his con tent ion. Whether or not Professor Howard is a fraternity man himself, we do not know. But he seems to have a rather hazy idea of their ideals. Whf-r he charges tat they "foster vicious hnt.its and wrong ideals' he is making a statement that will be difficult to defend in the lght of reason and fact Do not think that we are defending university life conditions there are many regrettable circumstances exist ing now and there probably will con tinue to be sich. But just why fra ternities and football are to b'ame is more than we can see. It is the old. old story again. The group is judged by the individuaL When a few fraternity members com mit an olense, the fraternity must tnffer. We have often heard of men who were Masons being hung, ye we have never gone so far as to ac cuse the masonic lodge of fostering criminal ideals. Occasionally a min ister of the gospel commits a crime yet the church can hardly be charged with lowering moral standards. We believe Professor Howard aboald have pondered a few of these things before he recommended Gund elfinger's tirade. Contemporary Opinion THE LITTLE THINGS Copyreaders In newspaper offices are forced by habit to scrutinizze every word that passes through their hands. They pay more careful at tentlon to the ruinuto details than to matters of broader vision. "The little errors are wheia you catch the dickens," said a veteran edl tor recently, to an Ohio State class in copyreading. "When you call a man a liar in an eight-column stream er headline, 99 chances out of 100 it was nlanned in the front office. The managing editor or editor-in-chief de liberately ordered it. But when you call him a liar in a 25-word brief, it's your own boot." The litle things are the splinters in the benches of progress. They are the chuckholes In the boulevard of life. Get rid of them carefully. pa attention to them, and the big things will materialize out of them. Many executives judge understudies solely by ability to do little things well. They work on the premise that little things well done will school a man for big things well done. Let no detail be too tiny or trouble some for you. Work till it is done right Don't leave out commas be cause you're in a hurry. Don't skim over little problems that are apt to bo knotty. Solve them. Then you'l' solve the human equation Ohio State Lantern. University Notices. Cornhuskers, Attention!

If the college man was as big as the outsiders say he thinks himse'f to be, then they could go right into the colleges and select the president's and generals and high skippers in genera', without even resorting to the Australian ballot system. From the way soma of the co eds speak of their opposites, it seems tiu.t some of the Eds live on a very soft diet. It is not uncommon to hear some father's little bright son delin eated a3 mushy." If the girls all took tc smoking the boys would have real companions then, and besides they would have a good excuse to get acquainted with out introductions by drawing up along side her and asking for a match, o for the butt of her cigarette.

When you have contributed largely to everything from Russian relief to the fund for replacing Goldfish, and have emptied your pocketbook, your bank account, and your fund of good humor, then you begin to think you've finished for a while.
