NOT SO DUMB
Seniors and juniors who like to
wave their hands and say, "Oh, HE'S
just a freshman !" received a jolt yes
terday morning, if they were really
awake when thoy read the announce
ment by the sophomore and fresh
man presidents that no class com
mittees will be appointed this se
. mester.
While the dignified, intellectual,
cynical, practical, and logical seniors
and juniors continue a practice so
silly that every single person on the
campus san enjoy the joke, the un
derclassmen calmly proceed to abol
ish. It takes a "mere freshman" to
brand the practice as useless!
The seniors anounced their com
mittees a susual, being careful to do
bo early in the semester in order
that the appointees may have plenty
of time in which to do nothing. The
juniors came forth with the custom
ary long list of names, solemnly de
clared that they intend to "do some
thing," held a secret meeting, and
made the sensational and astounding
anouncement that they will sponsor
a Junior Prom. This is indeed a
worthy project, but it may interest
Daily Nebraskan readers to know
that the proposal had already been
advanced and considered at a meet
ing of one of the junior class so
cieties. AH of which indicates that the
freshmen and sopTiomores areVt
"so dumb" after all. The freshman
president did not even go the trouble
to call a meeting to talk about it.
The sophomore president called a
meeting on the remote chance that
the members of his class might care
to attend, found that none but the
politicians did, and quickly reached
the conclusion that the thing might
as well be dropped.
If the juniors and seniors haven't
sense enough to know that a corpse
cannot be brought to life again, we
can console ourselves with the
thought that the upperclassmen who
will take their places have that much
intelligence at least.
ine ouuook lor the future is so
brightened by this action, that we are
tempted to join the eternal "bigger
and better" brigade. The University
of Nebraska will be a great school
a few years from now. The fresh
men and sophomores are exhibiting
horse sense, University Night is be
ginning to amount to something,
Rent-a-Fords may soon ba as obsolete
as the horse and buggy, and The
Daily Nebraskan is receiving nearly
enough student-opinion letters to fill
the editorial page.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
the fraternity, as Dr. Alexander
Meiklcjohn declared in an address
here last winter, is the nonfraternrty
man. -The relations between the
Greeks and the bar! are vital to the
entire system. Both views are need
ed to fully understand the problem,
and this newspaper Is desirous of
presenting both.
The writer also assumes that the
editorial which appeared Sunday was
antagonistic to the fraternity sys
tem. We regret that such an im
pression was created. It was Intend
ed as impartial, destructive and con
structive criticism of the entire sys
tem. The author has given us the
following signed statement of his
aims:
"In writing the editorial, I had
no intontion of giving the impression
that I am hostilo to the fraternity
system. It has, I think, great possi
bilities which are seldom realized.
It was to point out its deficiencies,
with the hope that they might be
remedied, that I wrote the editorial.
Edward Morrow."
NEGRO LITERATURE
If negro literature is mentionedl
many people think of Booker T.
Washington. They have never read
the work of any other great negro
writer, and scarcely know that there
are others. Negro Literature Week,
which is being sponsored this week by
Semper Fidelia of the University of
Nebraska, will be worth while
if it brings college students in con
tact with the writings of these people.
A list of recommended negro lit
erature, prepared by the group spon
soring this movement, follows:
Poetry American Negro Poetry,
James Weldon Johnson; House of
Falling Leaves, Wm. Stanley Braith
waite; Color; Countee Cullen; The

WE SECOND
THE MOTION!
IN REPLY
"A Fraternity Man" contributes a
letter to the "Other Opinions" col
umn today which is well worth read
ing. He objects to a statement con
cerning the number of fraternity men
and non-fraternity men who are
graduated, which was made in the
editorial column of The Daily Ne
braskan last Sunday.
The information which he believes
is inaccurate was obtained from Dr..
' R. J. Pool, chairman of the Inter-
fraternity Council, who made a simi
lar statement (if the author's mem
ory is corect) at a meeting of the
council. Possibly the impression was
secured, as "A Fraternity Man" sug
gests, from the records of an indl
vidual fraternity. The facts which
our correspondent has gone to the
trouble to dig out are interesting,
and we suggest that some of the in
terested fraternity members whom he
believes should be allowed to solve
the problem w.ake a further investi
gation, covering' the records for the
past five or ten years.
"A Fraternity Man'", evidently as
sumes that the editorial which he
criticizes was written by the editor of
The Nebraskan, who is not a frater
nity member. It was written, how
ever, by a contributing editor of this
newspaper who is an active member
of one of the oldest fraternities on
the campus and the representative of
his organization in the Interfrater
nity Council.
We do not agree with his conclu
sion that persons outside of the fra
tyrnit "can do little to improve the
!- ';:: inn, mostly because non-fra-r-i
no:, cannot and will

"KEEPING UP"
Partly because of our zeal to get
started and partly because we have
not formulated any definite state
ment of the object of this column, it
made its initial appearance yesterday
unaccompanied by an explanation
We expect to continue it, and let
you discover a purpose if you can.
Things which others have said better
than we ire able, shall appear here
from time to time. The article today
is from The Daily Cardinal of the
University of Wisconsin, and deals
with a situation in the Big Ten which
is practically duplicated in the Mis
souri Valley:
"Spring football practice in the
Big Ten has begun. The first game
on the schedule is more than half a
year, seven months to be exact, from
the present date. We trust that the
teams of the respective Conference
university will be ready for the
opening game; and earnestly hope
that the men who play out on the
grassy gridiron for their alma mater
will not be so sick of football by
that date that the game has lost
all Its rest and interest for them.
"Who started this spring foot
ball practice anyway? Only one
university had to start, the remainder
were immediately forced to take it
up in order to keep up. Thoy were
compelled to do it, they couldn't get
behind Lizzie. Wisconsin was one
of the last to take up spring prac
tice and until it did the clamor for
it was deafening, and any poor suc
cess at the game on the part of the
Badgers was laid to failure to hold
spring practice.
"Besides this "keeping up with
Lizzie"feature of spring practice
there is the improvement of the game
factor. More highly trained teams
are placed on the field as a result
and possibly the games are more
perfectly played. But does this fac
tor justify the amount of time and
enerarv which men are forced to
sacrifice for the sake of spring prac
ticeT Is it the purpose of umversi
ties to raise the standards of foot
ball? Would the sun make a good
refrigerator?" Spring practice aids
materially in giving college football
that taint of commercialism that has
been so deplored recently. In do
manding so much time and so much
downright hard physical labor of the
men who wish to make the team takes
the sramo out of the category of
sport for play and makes it a busl
ness, and the business is entirely too
serious.
"Do football players like to gel
out for spring practice? Does spring
practice give them more football than
they want? Through personal con
tact with football players at Wiscon
sin we have been assured that they
do not like it and neither do the
coaches. Yet, as long as one uni
versity does it, all will have to do it
to keep up, to be in the swim, and be
able to win games.
"Action on this matter can only
be in concert, taken at the meet
ings of the Big Ten coaches, just as
action was taken to curtail the
amount of the time spent in practice
sessions. We hope that abolition of
spring practice will be the next
step."
