UNIVERSITY NIGHT
University Night will soon be with
us. Those students and members of
the faculty who are likely to be the
target for satire are waiting anxious
ly for the day. They will see them
selves lampooned, and, in all rrob'
ability, they will enjoy it; for one
seldom enjoys anything as greatly as
when he is the central figure.
Some of the wit, perhaps, may be
a bit biting; the satire a bit crude;
but the skits will nevertheless be en
joyable, for there is seldom in them
anything of malice.
Besides accomplishing its obvious
end in swelling the bank account of
the worthy Y. M. C. A., University
Night offers an excellent opportun
ity for the relief of the notions that
cannot be squelched the desire to
poke fun at somebody.
Furthermore, those who are lam
pooned are given an excellent oppor
tunity to understand that, after all,
they are not above lampooning. The
instructor is the lord of the class
room; but at University Night it is
the student who rules. The student
thereby relieves himself of the human
desire to puncture the dignity of his
instructors and to treat lightly the
things he has been accustomed to
hold in awe.
University Night has been criti
cized severely; but it remains never
theless, one of the most interesting
and, in our opinion, most valuable
events of the college year.
A REAL TRIBUTE
ta
"It is the only school where a stu
dent can walk across the campus on
a clear day wearing overshoes and
carrying an umbrella without at
tracting atention!" Such is the tri
bute which President Little of the
University of Michigan has paid to
Harvard University.
It is one of the highest tributes
that could he paid. It means that
students of Harvard University are
sufficiently intelligent to respect in
dependence. It means that they are
broad-minded enough to overlook and
restrain themselves from laughing at
differences in opinion.
Imagine the fate of a student who
might do such a thing on the Ne
braska campus. It would be worse
than that of a man calling for a co
ed about a month ago without a
Rent-a-Ford.
There might have been more than
one situation that might necessitate
carrying an umbrella on a pleasant
day. There might have been many
reasons, in former times, for not
renting a Ford. But Nebraska stu
dents never seemed to realize them.
movement and if one of them is en
gaged to a boy who finds life too
colorful to think about little things
such as rent-a-Ford issues they ara
not accountable. One's mind ordi
narily lives in a different world when
one meets the RIGHT person. But
that is off the subject.
The foundation for the amphithe
ater has been laid, Cornhuskers. If
you will continue to build with the
same ardor, you will see a new, finer
drama of life within it this spring
and succeeding years. The atmos
phere will be the clear air of a better
democracy, moving freely about the
stage, because it will be set for
everyone who has initiative enough
to act The scenes will include
everyone because the system will be
within the reach of each individual's
grasp. And the main theme of the
drama of social life will be FRIEND
SHIP, because the people acting will
find it more attractive and much
more congenial than the old theme
of ISOLATED GROUPS.

welfare and have courage to defend
them.
The board of regents authorized
the expenditure of about $15,000 to
extend the new heating plants on the
city campus and at the College of
Agriculture.

MISDIRECTED EFFORTS
Last year saw the construction of
the Wesley Foundation House as a
center for Methodist students and as
the home of the Methodist student
pastor. In line with this move on
the part of the Methodists, the Pres
byterians contemplate the construc
tion this spring of a Westminister
House to serve as the home of their
student pastor and a center for the
Presbyterian students. The Congre
gationalists, likewise, have plans un-
at-T way ior tne construction of a
house. The other denominations
probably have dreams for building
their houses and student centers.
In the light of rapidly increasing
mter-denominationalism and inter
church co-operation, the building of
to many separate plants for religious
work semg rather inconsistent. Three
denominations are setting the pace
by constructing their student centers
near the campus entirely unconnect
ed. Each probably represents an in
vestment of at least twenty-five
thousand dollars. The three of them
combined, with the aid of the others,
might be able to put a good sized
sum into an inter-denominational
center that would serve as a much-
needed University Union-
it seems not only inconsistent
with the idea on inter-denominational
co-operation, bat also rather extra
vagant to duplicate so extensively
the plant of religious effort on the
campus. The question might be
raised as to whether the work of the
student pastors is effective enough
to warrant such an outlay of money,
especially since they are not combin
ing their efforts. The question
might also be raised a to whether
there is not a duplication of this
work with that of the Deans of Men
and Women and of the "Y" organi
zations, so that the expenditure of so
much money is unjustifiable.
SO FEW LINCOLNS
Lmcoi.Vs birthday called forth
many flowery tributes from the na
tion's editors, but one of the most
interesting bits of writing on the an
niversary this year was published in
the University of Colorado "Silver
and Gold". The writer wonders what
would happen if Lincoln should at
tempt to enter a modern university.

PICTORIAL METHODS
The sunshine of human nature is
really a splendid thing, especially
when the real sun of the universe
is hidden behind dark, gloomy clouds.
Any observer who chanced to be
about the campus at 3 o'clock yes
terday might have seen just how
brilliant is the light on a youthful
face when there is something tangi
ble and satisfying to smile for. That
same light, however, would be much
more significant to any member of
the rent-a-Ford combination. He
would have read in that lighted satis
faction the enthusiasm of youth
which spells the ability to carry a
cause before them with a will. He
would have noted just how effec
tive is the noise of the instrument

spark to the tinder-box custom which
enclosed us. There was no founda-

The first signs of the Museum:

the building as soon as the weather

About a dozen enthusiastic Univer

that the tardiness of their gentle

should not have a sleigh ride. After

cured.
At a meeting of the Associated
Barbs the organization of the new
society knows as the Commons of
the University of Nebraska was com
pleted. According to the constitu
tion of the club the members were
chosen by popular vote of the male
barbs. The object was to promote a
more democratic spirit and discour
age cliques among the students.

THE BEAUTY OF THE CREEKS
(Penn State Collegian)
The time of the fraternity informal
initiation is here!
In accord with the time-worn cus
tom, the fratres in collegio of Beta
Tau Mu are setting out to impress
their freshmen with the honor which
is to be conferred upon them. For
the brothers-to-be are to learn the
sacred mysteries of old Beta Tau;
soon they will be told the lofty ideals
which make the fraternity the great
est mong the Greeks. Does not Beta
Tau stand for all that is beautiful;
for honor, courage, justice, purity of
mind and body? Are not the broth
ers banded together for the stamping
out of all that is unclean and cow
most a holy order and surely each
most a holdy order and surely each
freshman should be made to appreci
ate the solmenity, the deep signifi
cance of his initiation into its mys
terious beauties.
So the young men chosen for the
honor are prepared for their vows.
They are humiliated in their own
eyes and in the eyes of the world, by
ludicrous stunts; they are treated to
the ingenious filth accumulated from
the festering brains of a hundred
generations of dear old Beta Tau Mu;
they are branded, ever so lightly,
with fire; they are beaten with pad
dles until the blood shows purple
through the skin of their legs.
Beauty!
For Beta Tau is the greatest of the
Greeks and its vows MUST be taken
seriously.

Cheaper Electricity
A 70,000 horsepower hydro-electric unit recently installed at
Niagara Falls utilizes the same amount of water as seven
former 5,000-horsepower units, yet does the work of fourteen
such units. And it saves 700,000 tons of coal yearly for the
nation.
i
As more and still more uses are found for electricity, larger
and more economical generators are installed. At the power
plant, as well as at the consumer's end, important changes and
tartling developments have steadily reduced the cost of
electricity for light, power, and heat.
And wherever electricity has blazed its trail in towns, cities,
industrial centers, and rural communitiec comfort and progress
have come to stay.
Generating and distributing electricity concern the technical
student. But electricity's application in the bettem.ent of
industry, the professions, and home life concerns every edu
cated person. Cheap electricity means many startling achieve
ments today, but countless and unbelievable possibilities
tomorrow.
