More fitting observance of Mo ther's Day would be a fine thing for the University and the students, and mothers would surely enjoy a more perioral celebration and recognition of this day dedicated to them. Fathers are invited to visit the University in the fall on the annual Pad's Day and there is no reason why there should not be such a day devoted to mothers. The father and son banquet is always a much enjoyed affair. About the only official recogni tion that is given Mother's Day here is the special vesper services. That is not enough. Every student who possibly can should invite bis mother to visit the University on Mother's Day and there should be some suit able entertainment worked up. A number of the fraternities have mothers of the members visit on that day, and this is a fitting and thought ful act. Have your mother here. DEADLY PROPAGANDA. Dr. George Sherwood Eddy, in his talk during one of the University of Michigan services said, "The trouble with the great war which we have just jassed through is that we have failed to learn its lesson. We are just as ready now to swal low up propaganda as we were be fore the conflict had ever started," according to the Michigan Daily. And now Brooks Fletcher, orator and editor, in a recent address bears out Dr. Eddy's assertion in full. "The next war," he says, "is being fed in the minds of the children of the world. Hate for other nations is being fed into the immature minds of all countries." These statements which carry their own answer have been realized by men who have closely studied the entire situation. It has Veen asserted again and again that it is quite natural for one to beliere. everything he sees in print. And taking advantage of this human weakness, it seems that the world has been fed up on little incidents and large incidents, true or false, that would help gain people's sym pathy towards the policy that the nation might be attempting to carry into effect. As Dr. Eddy so ably stated, "we indeed heard the various atrocities the Germans had per formed in Belgium; we also heard that the Allies were carrying out a blockade on Germany, and that was perfectly all right. But we did not know that this blockade was causing the death of thousands of innocent mothers and children through star vation." Propaganda continues with its work. We are now just as ready to absorb any utterance, official or rumored, as we were before the war. If we would only have demanded the absolute truth long ago, the world might have been in sincere peace to day. Instead, we have listened to ru- mors of various natures about Russia, France, Germany, Turkey, England, with the result that the truth is as hazy as ever. The new generation is rising faster than we realize. If it is to take our place without a feeling of hatred rankling within it for other nations, a change must be effected to our present system, and "we must demand and receive the truth. Then univer- KniSi 1 r. I Q 9 A .ItsSl m sa' friendship must result.'

All our spare moments were directed toward that desire. At last we thought perhaps we had succeeded. We took the result of our untiring efforts to a literary friend so he might determine the degree of our success. He read our of fering. There was a light of satisfaction in his eyes and his voice rang sincere as he said, "Excellent! A good thought beautifully expressed." We knew that we had failed in our purpose this couldn't be free verse. a a a "THE LIGHT THAT FAILED." The monotonous black of Centre street is relieved tonight by a dim light that slowly approaches my window. Occasionally its feeble rays are thrown on the face of a scurrying pedestrian but only for an instant. As it draws nearer I can discern the dim outline of its bearer. He is beneath my window now. Someone approaches from the opposite direction. The indistinct figures meet and the light is raised, its glow disclosing the faces of the men below me. One with aged-dimmed eyes and a cynical half-smile that bespeaks a life of disappointment The other is young, with bright eyes that continually seek new objectives. The young man is speaking and the if it isn't Diogenes, himself." The youth extends a cordial hand. "How did you recognize me?" queries the time-worn man. "By the lantern. Is it the same one you had when you commenced your quest?" "It is the very same." "You don't say. It must be very nificance." The young man hesistates, have alwavs been very much interested to tell you that your lantern is nearly priceless. It is so old that there is not another like it. Then too, the very fact that it is your lantern causes people to have a high regard for it, and naturally a desire to possess it. I do not consider it safe for you to he about at night unprotected so I will travel with you to see that you do not meet with foul play." Diogenes' voice is apparently tear you have made me happy and I feel that my search is ended you are indeed an honest man. Come that I may grasp you by the hands." He set the lantern on the curbing. , Suddenly the light is snuffed out sound of hurried steps. For a moment in the hands of Diogenes and he holds it in front of hjm. The young man has gone and he has taken the lantern. A tear creeps into my eye but its course is stayed by an amused chukle from Diogenes. "That's the third lantern this week," he says gleefully, "it's a good thing that I put the original one in a safe-deposit box last year." a a He was leading a dog's life. He didn't need any new clothes, he had plenty to eat, a comfortable place to sleep, and nothing to worry about. a a a Up at Northwestern University a student was recently dismissed from the school because he had entered into an agreement never to take up arms. We wonder what would have happened if, instead of signing the peace pact, he had clouted some fellow student soundly on the snoot during the course of an intellectual discussion, or appeared in the classroom with a six-shooter strapped to either thigh and a bowie knife in his teeth. Or perhaps laid an instructor low with a well-flung brick, because the instructor stated that the Americans lost most of the battles of the Revolutionary war. a a For the purpose of the foregoing statement we wonder what would happen, but as a practical matter we know better than to try it. e If you will now turn to the front page you will observe that Sherwood Eddy is "under the weather" this morning. OPINION. NU UPSILON TAU TAU. To the Editor: I read with interest in a recent Nebraskan the announcement of our Dean of Men concerning the new onery" feminine society Nu Uplison Tau Tau ("Nutt") which appeared, amid considerable enthusiasm, on Phi Beta Kappa day. It seems to me that the Dean, whose promptness I have often ad mired, brought down a pretty heavy hand on a harmless travesty of our numerous Greek-letter organizations on the campus. When I was in Aus tin, Texas, last spring, the Phi Beta Kappas and "Notts" had just ap peared. Some of the latter were in troduced to me in the office of Miss Lucy Newton, the Dean of Women, who was one of my hostesses. An assistant on her staff had bestowed on the girls the peanuts which they wore on their necks those symbols which were ordered from the necks of our Nebraska girls so promptly. Certainly the society was popular at Texas with faculty, students, and Phi Beta Kappas, and its appearance was thought to lend zest (as it did here) to Phi Beta Kappa day. Some of the Phi Beta Kappas and "Nutts" were photographed together. With regard to the senate com mittee on organizations for which the Dean spoke (did he consult it?) quite the last thing the members of Nu Upsilon Tau Tau wished to achieve were a constitution, purpose (it was rebuked for not having this), and recognition by the committee as a -"student activity." The last thing they would have guessed was that a committee of busy professors would care to devote university time to a session concerning an organization which wished to be nothing hut a name. "Nutt" had precedent for its procedure. The senate committee did not concern itself last year with that analogous organization the "Dumb Bells" until its members wished a constitution, purpose, and other appurtenances hardly in keep ing with its name. I believe that few would agree with our authorities over there's nothing to do until June. a public office who did not claim that words float up to me. v ell, well, valuable now for its historical sig then continues, "Mr. Diogenes, i in you and I feel that it is my duty - choked as he replies. loung man, and there is the rapidly diminishing all is quiet. Then a match flares in thinking "Nutt" an "insult to Phi Beta Kappa." The average scholar ship of the "Nutt" membership is good as good, I daresay, as that of those pillars of our campus, the Innocents. I admit, however, that the Innocents, who are sponsored by such leading educators as O. J. Fee, Dr. Condra of the moving-picture department, and the alumni secre tary, have much the better of "Nutt in the matter of backing. May I suggest midly to our ef ficient Dean of Men that he give fuller rein to his sense of humor when he is presiding over the des tinies of girls' organizations. To me, Nu Upsilon Tau Tau and the Golden Fleece, which has now ap peared at another institution, are quite on a par both functioning on one day in the year only. But it may be that the girls' society of the "Gol den Fleece" is now also under the ban of our Dean of Men as "illegal and an "insult" to blondes and brunettes, Surely many things on the campus need the time and atten tion of our executives more than do the poor "Nutts" or "Dumb Bells", or members of the Golden Fleece, who like to vary the routine of the campus life with harmless hoaxes. Since I promised to be sponsor for the members of Nu Upsilon Tau Tau and shall have to account for its fate to my friends in Texas, it seems to me I should make explanation, both for the local members and in self defence.

Recently there have been several cases on the campus where, in the opinion of the University, it has been necessary for certain students to be punished. The right or wrong of the decision is not questioned; undoubt edly, the disciplinary authorities act ed for the good of Michigau. Yet, there is room for argument, however, in the method of punish- -r Wh was chosen. Just wnat good is derived from expelling a man from school? It robs him of a chance to finish his education. It embitters him against the world, and often leads him to forget his trouble by making a worse mistake than the one which led to his dismissal. Moreover, this form of punishment hurts, most of all, entirely innocent pe0ple the parents of the student Youth is triumphant; it is not utter ly discouraged by misfortunes, but to older people, the disgrace is a mortal blow, and is not soon forgot ten. After all college men are young men. They sometimes are led in their leal and enthusiasm to make mistakes, even though with the best intentions. A little quiet and sym pathetic understanding would do more to cure the slight out-cropping of evil than unceremonious dis missal. Where there is an oppor tunity to build a man by correcting and building certain standards, life at the University, if general conditions are what they should be, under the direction of faculty heads who are wise and sympathetic, is much more effective than punishment which tends to remove all the good in fluences in a man's life and makes toward the idea of punishment for punshment's sake.
