ASK MOTHER TO COME.
Mother's day is a little over a
month away.
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-

For weeks we had trWd to write a bit of free verse. 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

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.

"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

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

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."

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.

For the purpose of the foregoing statement we wonder what would
happen, but as a practical matter we know better than to try it.

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.

- 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.
Sincerely,
LOUISE POUND.

WHAT IS JUST PUNISHMENT?
(Michigan Dally.)
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.
