TWEHTY-OUE C0RI1HUSKERS
LEAVE FOR VALLEY MEET
Schulte Hope to Win Fifth Consecutive Missouri Valley Track
and Field Championhip -Advonce Dope Gives Ne
braska Slight Advantage.
KANSAS AND MISSOURI LOOM AS CONTENDERS
Twenty-one Husker trackmen left at 1 :45 yesterday for Nor
man. Okla., where they will compete in the seventeenth an
nual Missouri Vally track and field meet. The squad was ac
companied by Coach Schulte, Trainer McLean and Manager
Buffet . , . .
The men are in excellent shape and are primed to win the
fifth consecutive track championship for Nebraska. Coach
Schulte expects the meet to be very close but dopes his
Huskers to win. .
The following men are making the trip : Captain Cntes,
Rhodes, E. Weir, Locke, Hein, Daily, Scherrich, Beckord, Ross,
Lewis. Houderscheldt, Beerkle, Reese, Wirsig, Gleason, Mol-
zen, Krimelmeyer, rospisil, Hays, Aimy, namsa
Advance dope from earlier dual
and triaugular meets this year points
toward a four cornered battle be
tween Grinnellj Nebraska, Kansas,
and Missouri for the championship.
Missouri is doped to pce heavily in
the field events and Grinnell is also
conceded tobe strong in this division.
Kansas and Nebraska seem to have
the edge in the sprints and runs with
Kansas doped for eight points in
both the high and broad jumps. Ne
braska, with Weir, is given three
points in each of the hurdle races.
It ia evident that Coach Schulte
expects to grasp victory with his re
lay teams.. Both "the mile and hal
mile relays should go' to Nebraska.
As near as dope can be figured
Nebraska will have only a two point
margin over Kansas. Nebraska is
(riven 41 points to the Jayhawkers
39. Missouri is given third place
with 30 points and Grinnell fourth
with 25.
Student Opinion
(Continued from Page Two.)
for its action, members of the fra
ternity tell us he refused to give one,
and declared he wanted no publicity
on the affair.
Except, perhaps, in the case of Aw
fwnn, the power of the publication
board to do as it did is not under
question. We are not questioning
the motives or the reasons of the
"Board, but its Crar-like methods of
secrecy. In the case of the Olympian
column, the Board refused to make
a statement of why the man was dis
missed, just as it did in the Awgwan
affair, ahtlough he had indicated his
willingness and even desire to have
one made.
But the inference of the Board
does not make itself felt entirely
through direct action. The question
of "what the Publication Board will
think" is in the mind of every staff
member whenever he contemplates
any action. He knows that the cri
tical, individual spirit will be crush
ed, and that the intellectually docile
man will be rewarded, and he acts
accordingly.
We have, then, in the case of the
Publication Board, the strange case
of a committee which is responsible
to the students, and which refuses
to recognize this responsibility.
Students could be fully informed
merely through the printing of com
plete reports of the Board's actions
(including the names of all appli
cants fo positions.)
As matters stand now, The Ne
braskan is often given only half-news
or no news at all Students are sel
dom aware of what action the Board
takes, and they are never able to
judge of the wisdom of the Board's
appointments, for only the names of
the successful candidates are pub
lished. The Student Publication Board
can hare no legitimate objection to
giving complete reports on its meet
ings. When the Board refuses to
make statements as to its actions,
only one inference can be drawn
that the board is afraid to have its
actions judged by the public.
We are Sir, etc.,

the conditions in organized society
elsewhere but that does not excuse
its exltnec in the Univer
sity. How can the in?tructors ex
pect to be able to drive home "the
thought that the American govern
ment is founded on principles of
equality, if the students attending
their classes do not practice that
kind of equality upon the campus.
Some schools have overcome this by
the adoption of a dormitory system
and have found it to work to an ad
vantage. Other schools have intro
duced a system of more uniformity
in dress. That might be successful
and might go a long way in the
abolition of the prevailing snobbish
ness. Besides being effective in the
wiping out of social barriers it would
be economical, for students often
buy more and better clothes just to
keep up with friends and then thre
is the incentive for merchants to
take advantage of University fads
to pad the prices. This also would
be eliminated to some degree, at
least, bv a more uniformity in dress.
If Nebraska does not adopt either of
these methods some other reform is
needed to wipe out the present un
desirable and unjust practices. We
who are students of the University
of Nebraska and want it to be a
democratic institution should favor
any movement with that goal in
mind, and the only reason for a fail
ure to take some action in that re
spect must be because Nebraska is
one of the most; aristocratic colleges
of today.

Conditions in tM UnlversHy cor-
roborate my statements of discrlmi
nation. To give two concrete ex
amples, first the constant practice
of placing athletes upon a pedistal
of worship. Now a certain amount

of praise is due athletes, and as long

justifiable. Some other person may
u- n n mA A
be equally well or better fitted to
fill a place in those activities and
yet the athlete is given the prefer
ence because of that fact There is
a strong feeling in University cir
cles that somo Instructors allow their
patriotism to school athletics sway
them in grading of students. The
blame is not to be placed upon the
athletes for the majority of them
do not solicit these added advan
tages, but the fault lies with the stu
dent body, the instructors, and to a
certain extent, with the public who
idolize them. Athletes are only
human and why not treat them as
such in chosing between an athlete
and some other person not so gifted.
Second, a condition which is at pres
ent very much in the student lime-
ligght is the existence of honorary
organizations. The question arises
as to whether or not they sheuld be
abolished. As to the organizations
affecting the freshmen, sophomore,
and junior classes, most everyone
adimits there is no necessity for their
continuance, but when it comes to
the senior organizations many claim
their existence is justified. Others
who support them do so not because
they believe them to be essential,
but because they fear an assertion
to the contrary on their part might
crush an opportunity of theirs. Does
that not indicate that these organiza
tions are political and have an un
desirable control. Look back to the
time before these organizations were
in oxistpnee and vo- ..III find them
WndTec-errtciently by committees
selected by the Chancellor and the
respective class presidents. No rea
son is apparent why that could not
be done now. Hence, if you strip
these organizations of their self- ap
propriated duties, what is there left?
Self Admiration Societies, the

As a result wo have the "choice of
men who are not best fitted for the
positions they occupy but are escort
ed to the honor by the guiding hand
of politics.- Are such results desir
able? No, for the aim of the insti
tution is to develop leaders and cer
tainly the best way to accomplish
that isto reward a person for ef
forts expended in fair competition.
Not many are going to try for posi
tions if they know that exerything is
fixed beforehand, and consequently
we do not have the rewarding of
ability, which is a development of
leadership in itself. We complain of
manipulation, pull and corruption in
the politics of some of our public
men of today. They why should we
encourage that very thing by allow-
. . T T
ing it to be practiced in our univer
sity. For the practices that are ioi-
lowed by the student while in scnooi
will no doubt be followed by him af
ter entering public life. Thus the
nnHeairabilitv of politics entering in
to our student life is readily under
standable and the abolition or cur
tailment of it by wiping out these
subordinate infections would be to
the beot interests of the University
and of our entire state.
Let no one misconstrue this ex
pression of criticism to be evidence
that all is wrong, for that is not true.
On the contrary much more can be
.aid to the credit than to the dis
credit of the University. That, how
ever, doas not justify silence in an

ist Besides, it is fortunate that
many criticisms aimed at the Univer
