the streets lending to those two build
ings are. In wet weather (ana tnai
seems to be the only kind of weather
we nro to have this full) the roads
are almost impassable and the side
walk holds only two or possibly three
abreast.
With the rallies, the convocations,
the football ga.nes all coming in the
near future, it is time to think about
this situation. Terhnps the University
itself can do nothing but umveiMiy
officials could certainly exert their
influence with city and county offi
cials to get something done.
In view of the fact that the Me
morial Mall is to be built there ir
the future, it would probably not be
advisable to pave those streets. Thif
future building program, however, is
no reason for leaving the streets in
that part of the campus in the condi
tion they are now in. Cinders or
gravel would not cost so much and
would probably remedy the situation.
Something should bo done and it
should be done at once.
Student Opinion
ON COURTESY
With the constant growth of the
University, with an increasing en
rollment year after year, there has
developed, on the part of a number
of members of the instructional and
administrative staffs, a tendency to
assume a rather "hard boiled" atti
tude in dealing with students, es
pecially freshmen. The offenders us
ually, but not always, are younsrer
members of the staff who are over
lealous to display their own author
ity, of which they have very little.
When the University was smaller
and there was a general desire for
a larger number of students, profes
sors and administrators felt that they
should do everything possible to make
the institution one to which students
would feel welcomed. As a result,
students learned to know, to respect,
to love their instructors.
HELP1 HELP!
This friendliness, this close asso
ciation of students and professors
has waned in recent years, with the
result that many students now leave
the University without having really
become acquainted with their in
structors as the students of twenty
years ago did. Likewise, tlieir in
structors have not learned to know
them.
It is tme that when an institution
reaches the siie to which Nebraska
has grown, it is' hard for professors
to know personally each of their hun
dreds of students. Yet, some of the
instructors who have the largest class
have "come to know their students and
it is these instructors who are held
in highest esteem by the student
body. So it would seem that a part
of the blame rests with the instructor
when be fails to win the confidence
- of his students.
The same thing is true with mem
bers of the administration. We have
frequently been reminded of the
gruffness with which new student?
are greeted. It is not unusual to hear
of a student being literally "bawled
out" for asking a civil question, be
cause the person he questioned be
lieved that he should have known
enough to read the answer in the
catalog.
Members of the University staff,
both administrative and instruction
al, should remember that many of
the students just entering the insti
tution are distinctly at a loss to know
just what to make of the situation.
Coming to Lincoln as one of the 2500
students just entering the University
a boy or girl from a small town is
often appalled at the immensity of
the institution.
These students should be treated
with, as much courtesy as member;
of the administrative staff expect to
find when shopping in a downtown
store. Only by being courteous can
the individual professors, the mem
bers of the administrative staff hope
to win the esteem and endearment
of the student body. And, only by
winning these students to the Uni
versity, will the institution be able
to hold the high place it has attained
in the minds of Nebraska citizens.
A few students doubtless are un
reasonable. But, is it not more'ef
fective to tell them politely, yet
firmly, that they must "play the
game" in the same '"ay as their fel
low students, lln to "bawl them
out" before a large group? Gruffness
and discourtesy will give them the
wrong impression right at the start
and will tend to embitter their minds
later.
It would be well, now that school
is well under way, for all of us, in
structors, members of the adminis
trative staff, and upperclassmen,
remember that courtesy, a spirit of
helpfulness, and a spirit of kindness
will do wore to make the new stu
dents happy and contented in their
new environment than any thing else.
A happy group of students will
make for a more contented Univer
sity community. Bat, better than al'
of that, it will serve to elevate even
h:cber l4rt opinion alieady held of
the Uni versity by the people of the
tte, its patrons.
Applications for the position of
contributing editor of The Daily Ne
braskan are called for in another
part of this paper. We take this op
portunity to urge that anyone who
feels that he or she would like to
write editorials for this publication
apply.
The position is not a paying one
but affords an excellent chance ior
practice in the field of editorial writ
ing, and, incidentally, some much
needed help for the editor.
Other Opinions
Varsity Parlies
The most Inspiring thing that I
have seen at Nebraska took place
Saturday evening in the Coliseum,
when a crowd estimated at seven or
eight hundred couples, of university
students enjoyed themselves at tho
first real All-university party ior
many years.
Something has liuun started in tho
form of Varsity rnitl.n which will
mean as much or moio to Nebraska
and to future Ncbiskans as any
thing that will no developed in years
to come. It has been necde l for some
time, and with tho construction of
such an adequate pla.e as the Col
iseum it can be er:-ily worked out.
I don't believe the majority of the
students present it the affair Satur
day have had as much fun at a party
fr.r some time. Those in cravffe de-
orv. much credit fur the success of
the party. With fuMro parties, plans
r.nn be worked 0'K to increase Hie
jolliness and mcrnine.it of each occasion.
It was a wonderful change from
the former unspirirnd. "n.essy" pnr-
hold in the small, unattractive
Armory. I see groat hopes for the
future, for I feel that nothing win
do more for the oil "Nebraska
spirit" that we speak of, than those
get-togethers over there in the Col
iseum where every student is treated
alike and all enjoy their.pelves to
the utmost.
If vou have any doubts as to the
success of the party drop over there
at the next affair and have mote fun
than you have ever had hero at Ne
braska. And I don't m2t.11 maybe!

known as "Memorial Mail" which

Pepless Nebraska
To the Editor:
The action of the athletic board
abolishing the practice of stunts be
tween halves at our football games
deserves the consideration of the stu
dent body. Certainly the entertain
ment furnished by the Corncobs at
the football games is going to be
missed when the football season gets
its start here next Saturday. The ten
minutes intervening between halves j
was previously used to amuse the
spectators who otherwise would wait
impatiently for the game to proceed.
But that is not the most significant
part of the question arising out of
the abolishment of these stunts.
The Corncobs are the only real
pep organization Nebraska possesses
at the present time and the most
prominent work they have to stim
ulate the few activities they 'do en
gage in is staging the burlesque
stunts between halves.
The real significance lies in the
fact that they are being forced to
fade out of university athletic circles
as effectively as possible, because of
the fact that they are blamed for
the estrangement which occurred
between Nebraska and Notre Dame,
that is, it seems, a very plausible ex
cuse based upon an erroneous im
pression.
The big ten schools, some of which
are on Notre Dame's schedule, all
have pep organizations who stage
just the sort of stunts that the Ne
braska fans are in the habit of seeing
on their own gridiron, and most of
them are just as strong in actual
sentiment, if not much Etronger, than
anything Nebraska football fans wit
ness. The much-traveled Notre Dame
teams and their followers are not so
easily hurt by such stunts and if
there was any rumor relative to the
stunt which the Corncobs put on it
was just an excuse which was not sig
nificant as some Nebraska fans seem
to suppose.
IVe cannot expect that the Corn
cobs are to exist merely to function
in the formation of rallies or some
other minor part associated with the
spirit of the rallies.
Every big school in the country
has some body of men who take a
principal part in promoting the pep
of the student body. It is rather dis
couraging to think that our athletic
board would deprive the students of
this body of men and also eliminate
from the games the sort of laugh -getting
entertainment Nebraska fans
have become accustomed to.
Certainly this danger of stirring
up an antagonistic feeling among
schools can be met by establishing a
more careful censorship. The Corn
cobs need not be compelled to with
draw from their activities in this re
gard simply because the athletic
board blames them for the Nebra-ka-
.otre Dame estrangement. I hey.
are needed in a school as large as
Nebraska simply because they con
tribute to the spirit at games and to
the spirit within t- student body

The time is opportune for an ex

regarding this action of the athletic
board.
