THE PADDLE AND UNDER
STANDING. "The Present Behavior of the Uni
versity Undergraduate and Why" is
the title of a report recently com
piled and published by a group of
men interested in college education
headed by Prof. Charles E. Rugh
of the department of education of
the University of California. The
report, which is the result of investi
gations carried on in several univer
sities, included the following state
ment in its conclusions:
The custom of humiliating
freshmen lowers the morale of
our education systems. It is es
specially bad that this custom
should be in the hands of the
sophomore class.
Criticism embodying this idea has
frequently been made and as fre
quently set aside on the ground that
those making it did not understand
what the actual conditions were.
Coming, as this statement does, from
a group of men who have made a
study of the hazing problem, and
from men who 'should understand
what educational institutions are try
ing to do, it demands something more
than the superficial examination and
refutation which has been accorded
previous criticisms of the same kind.
What should a university try to do
for its freshmen? The answer to
this question will be a foundation on
which a judgment as to the wisdom
of humiliating the freshmen may be
based.
The freshmen come to the campus
from different environments. They
have been suddenly thrown into a
new world, a world filled with new
ideas and strange standards. Their
primary need is some knowledge of
what the university is trying to do
for them, what they want it to do
for them, and what, in view of their
mental and physical equipment, it is
able to do for them. How to create
in their minds this understanding is
the problem which the university
faces.
The first step in such a process is
to make the freshmen feel that they
have a place, a rather significant
place, in the scheme of things. They
must be able to feel at home on the
campus. Without this feeling they
are perplexed, bewildered, hurt, and
the longer that condition last the
longer it is before the university will
be able to begin their education.
Hazing and humiliation contribute
little to this feeling of understand
ing. Humiliating regulations, the
wearing of standardized dress, the
demand that upperclassmen be treat
ed with a consideration which bor
ders on reverence these things far
from being beneficial are actually
pernicious. They make the freshmen
feel, not that they are at home on
the campus but that they are in a
foreign place in which there is no
one to give them the sympathy and
the understanding which they need.
Their subjection to a series of stud
ied humiliations, whether they be
physical or mental, develops in them
either a fierce spirit of resentment
or a feeling of abject humility, either
one of which is equally disastrous
from the point of view of the purpose
of the university.
The freshmen are the students
least in need of humiliation and sub
ordination. What they do need is
sympathy, assistance and sound ad
vice. Given in a judicious way these
things will give the first year stu
dent a feeling of kinship with the
school, and understanding of their
purpose and the purpose of the uni
versity, which cannot possibly be cre
ated by the pne paddle process.

MANY WRITE FOR. BOOKLET
Heavy Demand for "Nebraska Beau
tiful" Publication.
Since the announcement a week
ago of the publication of "Nebraska
Beautiful" by the Conservation and
Survey division of the University,
hundreds of requests for the booklet
have been coming into the division
office. On the first day after an
nouncement of its publication was
made more than 200 requests were
received. In many cases the corres
pondents wished to get a number of
copies by sending the required five
cents postage for each one. This,
according to Dr. G. E. Condra, direc
tor of the division, is not permissable.
Only one copy can be sent to each
applicant. To supply libraries, civic
clubs, and others for whom the book
was originally intended, another
printing will be necessary, it is
thought.- The first printing will soon
be exhausted if the demand con
tinues. We manufacture

Student Opinion
To the Editor:
I have recently noticed that on the
campus there are certain organiza
tions masquerading- as "literary" so
cieties. Tbis is an abuse, for one
thing, of a term. The said clubs
have no connection with literature,
and their only pretense to such con
nection is an occasional reading
taken from the "Short Turns and En
cores" page of the Saturday Evening
Post; given by one of their 'mem
bers. None of the members, I think
I may safely assert, write; few of
them, to judge from their attitude,
even have time to read.
These societies are occupying
rooms in the Temple, with all the
dignity of organizations brigfinally
conceived by the University and in
cidentally under the direct control of
University officials and directly
connected with University affairs.
Since they are not connected with
the college in any legitimate way,
they have no actual right to the
rooms in the Temple. It is indeed
true that when Mr. Rockefeller do
nated two-thirds of the cost of the
building, the .literary societiels raised
the other third by carrying on a
general drive, more or less similar to
the recent stadium drive. In return
for this activity in financing the
building, three societies have been in
habiting it since, either free or on
the payment of a nominal fee to cov
er light and heat costs. Such halls
elsewhere in the city would cost each
individual society from one to five
hundred dollars a year.
As nurely social societies, they
have no more right in a University
building than any one of the myriad
sororities or fraternities. If societies
are to occupy such space, they should
at least be in some way connected
with literature or arts, and these or
ganizations Union, Delian, and Pal
ladian are not It is an abuse of
privilege, and should not be toler
ated.

"Beau Brammel" set the fashion of his day.
Whatever Beau Brummel wore was accepted
as right and correct for everyone els
dividual preferences were allowed.
Today College men set the style for their par
ticular community. Manufacturers of Men's
Clothes are alert to the situation and have cre
ated styles that are a composite of the very
best college modes. They have provided gen
erous outlets, inseams and various other facil
ities for alteration which allows men to ex
press their style preference and to receive it in
the delivered garment. This changing of
styles requires the attention of a skilled arti
san, competent to-visualize the alterations
necessary and to reflect them in the finished
garment.
We have recently added to our organization
such an artist. He will devote his entire time
and attention to turning out clothes in' the
styles and fashions demanded by the men of
the University of Nebraska, even to the minut
est detail.
We are so confident of our added ability in
this new innovation that we unhesitatingly say
clothes will be made your way or they are
not your clothes.
