SOMEBODY STARTED IT
At the Ohio State University the
Men's Inter-fraternity Council is con
sidering the abolishing: of fraternity
probation or "hell weeks." A formal
complaint made by a member of the
faculty that "probation periods had
been detrimental to the class work
of his students," was the cause of
the movement. The president of the
Council, who is a student, has sug
gested that the probation be limited
to a week-end.
The action at Ohio is an exampb
of the growing sentiment throughout
the country for the abolishing of this
manifestation of childishness. An
undercurrent of opposition has been
gaining strength at this University.
Most of these afafirs are more or less
private and information is difficult
to obtain. But we know of one fra
ternity that has cut down on the
pranks usually popular, while retain
ing the semblance of probation to
satisfy some of the die-hard brothers.
Another has limited it to three days.
But most of the college lodges con
tinue to put their freshmen through
the same senseless rigamarole that
was in existance when college youths
strove to grow whiskers.
The probation week stunts are
many and diversified. They range
from inidnight hikes to electric shocks
But almost all have this feature: the
freshmen get little sleep or no time
to study. And, as a consequence,
they go to their classes if they go
unprepared, and so tired that they
usually slep soundly through the lec
ture. We were expounding our views on
probation week some time ago when
one of our dear brothers arose with
this protest: "Why we've got to have
probation week. We've always had
it and we can't quit now!" In an
swer, though it may be bad form, we
cannot resist telling the hoary joke
about the man whose grandfather wa
a democrat (or a republican, accord
in to your political prejudices).
"Why are you a democrat?" a
man was asked.
"Whv. my father was a democrat,
and my grandfather was a democrat,
and I'm democrat.
"Well, if your grandfather was a
fool what would you be?"
"L suppose I would be a repub'
lican."
So most of us go through and put
others through probation week be
cause somebody, back in the old days,
was fool enough to conceive the idea.
If the fraternity men would judge
probation week on its merits, and
drop the insane argument that it
must go on because it has gone on,
we think that other schools would
follow the example of Ohio and drop
this high school play.

THE WORLD COURT
Dr. Raymond Fosdick comes to the
University tomorrow for a convoca
tion for which all 10 and 11 o'clock
classes are being dismissed, a great
deal of publicity is being carried on,
and extensive arrangements are being
made by the University "Y" organi
zations. The assumption by those
who ave bringing Dr. Fosdick is that
students are interested in world court
that they should know nbout it and
its possibilities, and that Dr. Fos
dick is a ninn who will be able to
give facts about the subject.
While many demands are made on
the students' time and many inter
ruptions to classes occur, the condi
tions of Dr. Fosdick's coming war
rant all this preparation and atten
tion. Students not only have a
right to know of present conditions
ns regards world peace, but it is
rroner that lounclations annum no
lnid for intelligent thinking on the
foreign relations when students are
voters.
Dr. Fosdick is a lawyer of some
reputation. He is known ns a res
ponsible man and has served the
country in ninny important capaci
ties during and after the war. He
was big enough to be appointed un
der-secretarv general to the League
of Nations. His ability, his train
ing, his opportunity to observe first
hand the facts of the world situation,
and his equipment for making careful
judgments based on his observations
are unquestioned. A man of his
caliber should be listened to especial
ly when he talks on a subject which
has been handled so carelessly by
uninformed and prejudiced persons.
The students of the University are
privileged in being able to hear Dr.
Fosdick, and it is proper that special
efforts are being made to enable
them to do so.
NOT THE CADETS
Lieutenant Colonel J. F. Jewett,
commandant of the Nebraska R. 0.
T. C. unit ofers-the following pro
test to an inaccuracy in our editorial
of last Sunday:
I notice in the editorial on the
"Student Mob" of the Sunday is
sue of your paper that you state,
"The mob started we are inform
ed, when a company of cadets on
the drill field invaded Bessey
Hall and made enough noise to
cause the dismissal of the classes
there." For the sake of accuracy
and truth I desire to call your at
tention to the fact that at the
time this occurred there was no
company of cadets drilling. The
company was at that time in the
recitation rooms when a party of
students entered these rooms,.
and broke up the recitations. It
was at that time that some mem
bers of the cadet corps in uni
forms joined the rest of the mob.
Manifestly a few men in uniform
were thereafter with the mob of
students and because of their un
ifors were easily spotted. I re
gret that your investigation was
not sufficiently broad to deter
mine this fact before you unjust
ly stigmatized this department in
such a prominent editorial."
We regret that this error should
have occurred and we apologize for
it to the colonel. He will realize,
we hope, that the gathering of infor
mation on such an affair as the near
riot of last Friday is no easy task
and that most of the facts must be
obtained by heresay. It was not the
intention of the editor to stigmatize
the military department, for the stu
dents in it, obviously are drawn from
all colleges, and the military depart
ment was naturally no more to blame
for the outburst of rowdyism than
was the chemistry department, or any
other.

The "Prof" may not admit it
but it's true
HE probably will not tell yoa ii, at clean, neat, typewritten
work bring! better marks but it does and the reason Is
obvious. It relieves him of that tedious task of deciphering
longhand, and keeps him in perfect "reading humor". Then
too, youll find the New Remington Portable a great time-saver
in compiling notes and keeping op with your correspondence.
Students prefer the New Remington Portable because it is
the lightest, smallest, and most compact of ell standard key
board portables. It fits in case only four inches high and can
be tucked away in a desk drawer or bookcase when not in use.
You will be interested to see the many advantages of this
indispensable helper and bear about our easy payment plan.

Christmas Problems
Solved Easily at

largements of your favorite

excellent quality purveyed by
the Sugar Bowl!
Give Smoking
Equipment from
George Brothers!
here at last is a cigarette
case that is useful, and not
too objectionably ornamental.
Made of excellent calf leather
just Camel size, with provi
sion for a match pack. There's
the Smokador too, the usual
ash receptacle glorified! Made
of metal, and persistently up
right. Certainly a fine gift
for some new fraternity house!
But a word on George Broth
er's gift items with a feminine
appeal. Very new are perfume
disseminators which hang on
the wall and emit your favorite
fragrance. $1.80 decorated, or
90c if you prefer to exercise
your own artistic talents.
Kampus Kompacts too, at
George Brothers!

Cost so Little at
Ben Simon & Sons!
