Not being a frat pledge, ho had no future brothers to settle his prob lem with a paddle. In despair he went forth to consult the only oracle ability to make smoke rings turn turtle. "Tell me," said the freshman, "what one Is to do when he Is cut, given the cold Bhoulder, or passed up like a tramp waiting for a freight train. I have been taught from time immemorial that fraternity men are snobs and I dread contact with such superior mortals now that fate has denied me a gaudy button. "That," said the oracle, "is but a half truth as are many other re iinected and accented assertions. Let us begin, as the textbooks say, by defining the terms. A snob is one so dazzled by jewelry, automobiles nrettv names, and similar things that he cannot recognize those other things of such great worth that they can neither be bought nor sold nor riven away. "Now very few fraternity men are so dazzled, despite the popular con cention to the contrary. By the terms of our definition, it is obvious that barbs might also be snobs. And since those who look. at pretty seen ery from a crowded balcony are more likely to be dazzled by it than the actors behind it, you will find that there are sometimes more snobs among the barbs than among the Greeks. "If that were not true, there would be even fewer Greek snobs. The possessor of dazzling things can more easily see the difference between them and things of true worth than the man who only sees them from a distance. A man is a snob even though he has no jewelry, automo biles, pretty names, etc., if he is dazzled by them and crawls at the feet of their possessors. " "And the owners seeing others at their feet forget the differences which would otherwise be obvious, in the same manner that an actor imagines the play is real if the audi ence is so hypnotized as to watch him as though it were real Thus both the possessor of dazzling things and the less fortunate onlookers be come snobs. Thus it is that both barbs and Greeks are sometimes snobbish, the former by crawling at the heels of the Greeks, and the lat ter by accepting the mistaken opin ion of heel-crawlers as true." The oracle paused and blew smoke rings which turned turtle. "You have defined the terms of my question," said the freshman, "but you have not told me what to do." "That," replied the oracle, "is up to you." ON GREEN CAPS A number of years ago in this Uni versity the sophomores and freshmen engaged in a great battle. They fought to defend their right to wear class caps. The freshmen won and the sophomores were forced to dis card their headgear. Before long probably within the next week green caps will be put on sale for the freshmen and every first year man will be expected to wear one. The freshmen will be told that the wearing is compulsory and to some extent it is. Most freshmen are glad to be iden tified with the University and with thpir class and will wear the caps gladly. Others may feel that the cap is a badge of servitude and heni But most upperclassmen at the TTnireraitr have worn their caps and .,,ff.ri.r1 no ill effects. They usually cherish the caps as a remembrance of freshman day. Like mu.t former classes, the class of '9 will probably also wear the caps gladly. If there are some who feel that they are sacrificing their birthright to be "different," let them refuse to wear them and probably nothing disastrous will result. Eut the feeling that the cap is a tress tnd something that is worn vr '. r protest is a mistaken one that ) i frown in recent years. 2' i frc '.men are proud to be at t r r V University.

Most freHhmcn will feci this and obtain the caps aa soon as they are put on sale. College Press ICONS One of the most common, garden variety of nonsense broadcasted in this University is tho fable that the only reason that students work In activities is for tho "good" of the university. This is far from the truth, In our estimation. We fail to conceive a single fount which could bubble its clear stream of Idealistic inspiration through the bailiwick of Mr. Matthew Bullock We hove noticed but few holy gleams of Grail in the sainted eye of sopho more munager. We never caught a class president at his prayers for dear old Siwash. There Is nothing considerable in activities to arouse this white heat of Galahadism about which our local wjbrans chant. A board of control ignores all its recommendations to vote for a fraternity brother. Is the deserving defeated candidate to sing "Praise God From Whom All Bless ings Flow," and condemn himself for a poor sport because he knows he would have been elected by a more scrupulous or honest board? Students work in activities for a number of reasons, and the good of the univeibity is only ono of these less important of these: First, the men seek glory and power. They crave to belong to Sachem and Ma-an-Da. They want prestige on the campus, for them selves and their fraternities. They enjoy the satisfaction of controlling committee appointments and editor ial policies. Second, men delight in the satis faction of doing a job well. They like to believe that their manage ment of a team is more efficient than ever before, or that under their presidency new steps in school spirit were taken, or that the Illini is more of a newspaper than it would have been under another editor. Third, they enjoy the work. They are attracted to let us say politics. They delight in the campaigning and the lining up of houses and of fra ternity brothers. They angle for places on the sophomore coal scuttle committee, and count that semester lost which sees no brother ensconced on the class hat rack group. Fourth, some activities offer ex cellent training for future life work; this is notably true of course in jour nalism. The Illini is as big a paper as those for which rrfcst college grad uates will work and the experience they get in school directly enables them to do better after they gradu ate. Fifth, some men like competition of any kind. They thrive on struggle, and they wax in the knowledge that they are doing something better than a competitor is doing it Sixth, a few activities pay well honestly we mean. Some positions on the campus are salaried, not handsomely, and not as well as cor responding positions in otV-T schools, but enough to make them desirable on that count. Seventh, and last, a few senior and possibly junior places offer an oppor tunity for men to something towards correcting which they consider wrong a political system, a disheveled school spirit, a moral lethargy. And this is the closest that any motive which keeps men in activities comes to being for the "good" of the uni versity. Campus activities are too much like the outside world to command the idolization of intelligent persons. There is naught of religious fervor in the heart of the man who sees grafting, incompelence, loafing, and fraternity politics in high places. Good of the university? We doubt it. The Daily Illini. BULLETS VS. BALLOTS Forty-four years ago today James A. Garfield, twentieth president of the United States, was hit by an as sassin's bullet in Washington, dying from the wound on the following September 19. Eleven years ago last Sunday the Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife, of Austria- Hunearv. were murdered in Sara- evo. In the first case the murder was committed by a disappointed of- ice seeker, in the second instance people with grievances against the empire of the Hapsburgs were re sponsible for the killing. Did either effect the purpose anticipated? JBrutus, according to Roman law, bad good reason for stabbing Caesar, but the conspirator's plot failed be cause they had no other Toun of government ready to substitute in the place of that of which Caesar was the keystone. Bullets only re move a person, not the cause which it is sought to. destroy. In the more civilized countries of the world the system of demo cratic government and secret ballot ing has placed in the hands of all a method for more effectually effect ing reforms than that provided by weapons. Now the opponents of the authorities iri the more enlightened countries seek to destroy those in power, not with bullets but wfth ballots. But the recent murder c'f the sirdar of Egypt shows that many have yet to learn of this rieihod of erprtssing one's opinions. The Columbia Missourian.

DAILY NEBRASKAN Explain Use of "Rah" In Cheers There is a real reason why col lege choers so frequently contain the word "Rah." According to stU'Hes made by Dr. Irving B. Crandall and Mr. C. F. Sacia of Bell Telephone laboratories men ordinarily speak this sound louder than any other vowel. If the value of 60 be assign ed to the amount of energy delivered by a man's voice to tho air for this particular sound, then its nearest rival, the sound of "a" as in "tap" comes next at 44, and as in "talk" at 37.
