ALL IS NOT GOLD
Silver Serpent entertained sopho
moro women at a tea yesterday after
noon. Xi Delta performed tho same
deed for freshmen women a short
time ago. Vnlkyrlo is no doubt in
tho process of choosing now mem
bers. Mystic Fish is forced to post
pone On main activity until the pres
ence of a new frcshmnn class in tho
University,
The accomplishments of tho groups
during the year are scarcely to be
boasted of. Tho "honoraries" ns.
sisted in the Girls Cornhuskcr lunch
eon by serving, dressed conspicuous'
ly in red-and-white costumes. Tho
chief result of it all was to impress
upon tho gulliblo who wero present
tho importance of tho groups. Tho
Silver Serpents sold pop at tho an
nual Cornhuskcr party for girls, and
thereby collected tho money to pay
for their picture in tho Cornhusker
and, with the addition of the nmount
left from tho initiation fees of last
year, will be able to meet the bills
incurred at the recent tea

IS t .t- if, ,1

from meeting after meeting to
which approximately n hundred girls
trail once in two weeks or oftcner,
Again referring to Silver Serpent, It
is true that an attempt by some of
the members was made to bring be
foro the group some questions which
might result in at least a semblance
of a specific purpose for the organi
zation, but the discussion was merely
f!" formal, and the members either were
too busy going to other meetings or
too disinterested to make anything
of the opportunity.
A year ago signs of rebellion
against tho system of self-created
honors appeared at the time of new
elections. The organizations remain
ed solidly impassive before the on
slaught. The matter is again before
us. Yet it is safo to assume that
all of the groups are pursuing the
samo course as that of the1 junior
group, which has at no time consid
ered what Its purpose is or in what
way it is justified in perpetuating
itself.
Thus we have them the whole out
lay of class honoraries, f unctionless,
purposeless, swelling the great wave
of unintelligent scurry which i3 tho
outstanding mark of the present col
lego generation.
' a
Considering these groups theoreti
cally, one must admit that in them
lies an immense amount of power.
Composed as they are of representa
tives from each sorority, supposedly
tho most capable in each class, and
a representation from tho non-sorcr-

Why nothing comes of this power,
this assembling of student thought,
abbility and energy, lies in two rea
sons. The first has to do with the
selection of the members. Sororities,
it seems, follow one of two policies
in nominating their members. Re

A WORD FOR PROFESSORS
The fresh nnd ignorant student is
too likely to sneer, or nt least to
smllo superciliously, whon tho word
'professor" is mentioned.
Somehow tho tltlo has follen into
disrepute It is moro tho fault of
tho students, wo fool, than of tho pro
fessors that this has como about. An
alarmingly Inrgo porcentngo of stu
dents or shall wo say moro truth
fully of thoso attending colIego7
regard tho professor as nn onomy ns
far as classes nro concerned.
Theso collcginns tnko tho attitudes
of "educate mo if you can" and nat
urally tho professor can't. Ho doesn't
got nn oven break.
And thereby students rob them
selves, n silly thing to do.
By far tho greater number of pro
fessors. are personalities. Very few
of thorn are nonetitios, as nny student
may see if he takes tho trouble to
look back at those ho knows. And
still fewer of them will refuse nn nt
tempt to mnintain n friendly footing
with the members of their classes.
This is not meant to advocate tho
cause of tho bluffer who attempts to
mako "a grade" by handshaking
with tho professor. Tho professor
should shako a foot nt him, ,wo aver,
But we cannot understand why so
many colleginns calmly wave in
bored fnshion a chnnce to know tho
men who are teaching them.
Lack of personnl contact between
professor nnd student is described ns
a disadvantage of largo schools. But
hero most of tho student body mako
little attempt to get acquainted with
tho professor. It han como to pas3
that tho curious student with a ques
tion who .steps to tho desk af tor alass
is regarded as a handshaker. The
satiation of curiosity that makes for
knowledge is frowned upon by the
group. Ana professors wno are genu
inely interested in their classes, col
lectively and individually, are too of'
ten given a slap in tho face.
Wo don't believe that professors
get an even break. Ohio State Lan
