ENGINEERS WEEK.
Following on the heels of one of
the most successful Tharmacy weeks
in the history of the school, the Col
lege of Engineering will exhibit its
wares to the public in the fourteenth
annual Engineers week.
Engineers week adverttses the ac
complishments and resources of the
College of Engineering, and inci
dentally th-e University. ' This dis
play is beneficial to students and fac
ulty alike, affording an opportunity
for all to become better acquainted.
Window displays in Lincoln stores,
a pep meeting, a parade, special con
vocation, field day, banquet and
dance are features of this years cele
bration, and if the record attendance
at the open house of the College of
Pharmacy is to be taken as indica
tion of the interest'taken by students
and public in college displays, Engi
neers week should also see attend
ance records broken.
THE INAUGURATION OF THE
SCHOLARSHIP CAMPAIGN.
The Interfraternity Council has
embarked on an extensive campaign,
the ultimate aim of which is to raise
the scholarship standing of fraternity
men at the University of Nebraska.
It has been conspicuous in the past
that the averages of fraternity men
have been below the average of non
fraternity men and in many cases
lower than the general men's aver
age. A banquet of members of all fra
ternities on May 7 is the initial ef
fort of the Interfraternity Council.
At this time a speaker of national
prominence will address the frater
nity men, and this will be followed
by other plans, all with the common
ai mof raising the fraternity aver
age. At the banquet, bronze plaques
will be awarded the fraternities
which ranked highest the second se
mester of last year and the first se
mester of this year. The awards are
not being made on the basis of the
highest averages, but rather on the
smallest number of delinquencies.
The minimum number of failures
should be the basis of award. High
grades are commendable, but it is
better if every member of an organi
zation passes all courses than that a
few members in that group have high
enough averages to pull th-a others
upward, and so furnish a good
average.
Fraternities have been seriously
striving since the war to raipe their
scholastic standing. The passing of
the "rah-rah" college man and the
gradual Improvement of fraternity
scholarship have been the result of
the changes during this period.
The college man of today has a far
better conception of what he is here
for. Requirements have stiffened
and the University authorities are
less lenient now than a few years
ago. The increase in enrollment
without a corresponding increase in
buildinirs and eauipment have made
it necessary to weed out the poorer
students. There is no place for the
loafer or straggler in the present
system.
Fraternities are only keeping
abreast of the times by striving to
meet these problems. And they are
meeting them, as the steady increase
in scholastic standing proves.
Every fraternity man in the Uni
versity should plan to attend this
banquet. Every member should take
it upon himself to see that he con
tributes in one way or another to this
worthy object of the Interfraternity
Council.
Fraternities, raise your scholastic
standing.

RAPID CALCULATOR FOR CO-EDS.
For the convenience of co-eds who date we have compiled a table show
ing the value in words of various acts of kindness that are frequently be
stowed on them by the men. The table makes no pretense of being com
plete but it will enable the co-ed to give proper length to her words of
appreciation in the more common oases: i
1 privately owned car 17 words
1 Rent-a Ford 23 words
1 street car ride 3 words
Privilege of walking with date 1 word
Candy or flowers 19 words
Dance 10 words
Show (Motion picture) 5 words
Show (Orpheum) 15 words
Dinner 13 words
Luncheonette 7 words
Whenever possible, action should be substituted for words, keeping in
mind the word value of the favor that has been conferred on you. There
is a division of authority on the question of saying good night. Some ex
perts hold that this should be counted as one word, others insist that it is
two words, while a third group contend that it cannot be counted at all in
the compilation of the balance. Cut this table out and carry it with you.
In behalf of the Society of Rundown Printers, we would like to request
that in the future, students who have been disappointed in matters of love,
bear their burden in silence or at least mail their opinions directly to the
lady in the question.
This, "You did! I didn't! You are. I'm not! You were." kind of
argument has been known to cause linotype operators strong men to
break down and weep for days at time. This student opinion "superiority
contest" must close even if the men are in the right!

We saw the military parade Friday evening and it led us to believe that
the natural bent, of many of the "soldiers," is toward pacifism rather than
the military.

BY THEIR CLUBS YE SHALL KNOW THEM.
The college-daily reporter had been given a tryout on the city paper
and his first asignment was to "cover" a residence fire. He performed the
task with the following results:
Fire was discovered about 8:51 Wednesday evening at the home of
T. Climax, 1313 X street. Mr. Climax, it will be remembered, was very
active in the University and was a member of Iron Sinks and Ki Yi Omega.
He won his letter in track and was chairman of the All-university party
committee. Mrs. Climax, his wife, ex-01 and a member of Fi Oh i, also
attended the University. The fire was first noticed by H. A. Hawes, class
of '10. Mr. Hawes was very prominent in school affairs and was the
leading factor in the organization of several societies during his time in
school. He was a member of the Not Guilties, intercollegiate ping-pong
team, and Delta Para Aces. Fire Chief Climber was the first to arrive
at the scene of the conflagration. Mr. Climber, when in school, was holder
of the western-conference-intercollegiate-100-yard-dash title. He was
graduated in 1907 with the class of '07. He was a member of the Onion
literary society, (Where he first met Polly Tech, now his wife, '08.) Graba
Graba Kappa, and the Cornshucker staff. The house burned to the ground.
The loss is partially covered by insurance in the Heartless Insurance Co.
of this city. Mr. Righter, state agent for the company, also attended the
University, ex-'ll, but left school to engage in work. He played football
for two years, baseball for one year, golf for six months and tennis for a
short time. He also played basketball. He was a member of Hearst club,
All-story club, Top-notch club, Whiz-bang club, and the Sherwood Eddy
committee. He also belonged to Cosmetic club and Green Goslins. A
new residence will be constructed on the same site.
After listening to a number of political speeches, one can readily see
that Samson is not the only one who ha made efffective use of the jaw
bone of an ass.
If man were an echo, he might be able to get the last word in this
who's-favored-by-the-date controversey.

PICTURES CO-EDS AS SHYLOCKS
To the Editor
My chief complaint against our
co-eds is that they are too mercen
ary. I am of the opinion that they
look up the rating of a man in Dunn
or Bradstreet before they form an
oninion of him one way or the other,
( a. .
If he ihows signs oi shekels, men
thev decide that he is a fine fellow.
But if his father doesn't happen to be
among those listed, then down goes
his stock.
This renting Fords to go on a date
is foolish. It is too bad that th-3 girls
have got to the point where they ex
pect this sort of thing. Most students
in the University have their just
amount of physical development, and
as walking is recognized to be a very
erood exercise, I suggest that the
men aid in the girls' physical devel
opment by walking them more.

Okoia Club Chooses
Scrivener President
of the last few issues of the Daily
Nebraskan. The men have accused
us of unappreciativeness and seem
to desire that the old-fashioned girl
return. We, on ?the other hand,
have felt that the men are in the
wrong because they expect too much.
We don't ask for corsages, rent-a-Fords,
and high-priced shows in
fact we would rather not have them.
Of course we admit there are some
of our number who do want these
things, but not all of us do.
The men have been altogether too
generous, and this has tended to
make many of us feel that we were
entitled to these things. For my
part, I am content to ride the street
cars or if necessary to walk.
However, we girls should not lose
faith in the men of our University.
I defend men by saying that they
have not lost their chivalry or gal
lantry. I believe they are serious-
minded and are trying to do right
by the girls. Let us sweep our own
doorstep first and then the men will
too. A SORORITY GIRL.
NO CONNECTION BETWEEN CO
EDS AND LARGE ENROLLMENT.
To the Editor:
In a continuation of the discus
sion of the co-ed problem in the pa
per yesterday "I Bid," apparently
a sorority woman, does not believe
that the majority of men at the Uni
versity agree with the stand taken
by "F. M." last Tuesday, and says
"That must be true or else N. U.
would not have its thousands of men
with the number increasing each
year They would not attend a
school that did not have co-eds of
the best character and with the repu
tation of being 'good fellows.' "
All of which causes me to reflect
and ponder deeply, whether the main
reason why boys attend Nebraska is
the presence of a high class co-ed
student body. In fact I wonder still
more when I read and find that co
education la a late development in
education, and is still considered on
sound by many leading educators,
and my wonder increases almost be
yond bounds when I discover that the
leading universities of the world
such as Yale, Harvard, Oxford and
