AN OPEN LETTER
TO THE UNIVERSITY Y. M. C
A. AND Y. W. C. A.:
Within a week your annual cam
paign for funds will start and you
will ask the students of the Univer
sity to contribute. As usual, there is
always talk among; some of the stu
i dents relative to what your organi
sations do for the students in gen
eral; most of this talk is hard on your
campaigns.
We invite you to make a statement
to The Daily Nebraskan telling what
your organisations do accomplish
during the year and telling in brief
where the money goes that is con
tributed by the students.
Because of this doubt which seems
to be in the minds of many of the
students, we feel that it would be
beneficial not only to yourselves but
to our readers if you see fit to make
such a statement.
With this brief invitation fo use
the columns of The Daily Nebraskan
for the purpose above stated, we
leave the matter entirely in your
hands and will push it no further.
THE EDITOR,
THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
lacking in chivalry but surely this
attitude is conclusive proof to the
contrary. When a knight of old rode
out from hja turreted castle at the
head of a thousand troopers, all clad
in glittering mail, he left behind him
a beautiful maiden who hung from
her dormer window and rooted for
the boys. And, when the knight re
turned from his battles, she was
wined and dined with him, and he
would tenderly show her the memen
to he had carried next to his heart
through all the carnage.
We we the soulless materialists
of today we out-chival chivalry. Are
our officers "ontent with choosing
one maiden to cheer him on? Do
they discriminate so severely No,
indeed! They pick two a year, and
give them both a chance!
As we were saying, the sponsors
are to be chosen soon. The only sug
gestion that we might offer is that,
since we have the spirit, let us have
the picturesquencss, too. A few
coata of mail and prancing steeds,
a bit of long yellow hair, and above
all a token for the knight, these
would add a lot to the army of today.
College Press
LANGUAGES
The prevailing attitude of college
and high school students in the Uni
ted States is to avoid the study of
other languages as much as pos
sible. This is especially true of Greek
and Latin, which are regarded as be
ing excessively boresome. The ques
tion of the importance of languages
in our daily life is discussed in a
recent issue of The Liberty maga
eine, and figures are offered to show
the importance in the business world
of having a knowledge of the tongues
of other nations.
In most of the cases of students
who are unable to master the Eng
lish language in all its details it is
found that they are also unable to
learn any other language. More than
sixty-five per cent of the English
words in common use can be traced
back to the Latin root. Therefore, if
every student has a basic knowledge
of Latin, his English will be much
easier for him to master. The more
knowledge he has of other languages
the more simple and easy to learn
will be the English language.
As the English tongue is closely
related to the old Latin, so is French,
Spanish, Italian, and German. Thus
in learning Latin the student will
combine a knowledge of nearly all
the other languages in use through
out the modern world. While the
study of the ancient languages can
not be said to be of any great im
mediate value it will foim part of the
cultural background that is a re
quisite of college or university
training.
GREAT IMPROVEMENT
Last semester considerable light
was thrown upon the class elections;
in fact, the criticism of the elections
became so strong that one class re
frained from holding any at all
It was natural, therefore, that we
should be very much interested Tues
day when it was announced that a
meeting of the junior class would be
held in which officers would be
elected. When the appointed hour
came, we sauntered over to the Social
Sciences Auditorium (they certainly
had a large enough room) to see for
ourselves just what progress had
been made in class elections.
We found, to our intense surprise
a total of twenty-one persons at
tending the meeting, including the
president Now some persons might
think that that is a poor turnout con
sidaring that well over a thousand
are eligible to attend the meeting.
Eut not us we have seen class meet
ings' cttended by as few as nine
So we are pleased to report that
great improvement has been shown
this year in the attendance at class
meetings. This year almost one-fif-tiota
of the class attended.
Another thing while we were in
fcttendanre as a silent observer, the
president said, "ITow iua next thing
we want to discuss is a Junior-Senior
Prom " That was too much-
uiid to leave.
REAL CONTRIBUTIONS
(Daily Illini)
There .'s no end to the number of
cracks the "average college instruc
tor" directs against the "povern
ment" Day in and day out sly digs
and bold criticism are given vent in
the classrooms. Far be it from this
editorial to so much as hint that open
discussion of matters governmental
is not good. It is good. But the ex
tortioner in his .classroom may be
criticised for the same thing that
Senator Jim Reed is maligned: For
not offering any real contribution to
remedy the evil he points out
Which generalizations make it fit
to call the attention of the Univer
sity faculty people who criticize the
conduct of the government with con
siderable regularity to the case of
Dr. James M. Hyde professor of met
allurgy in the University of Southern
California.
Not only did Prof. Hyde wish to
run for the nomination for United
States Senator from California on
the Republican ticket, but also he
was given a leave of absence by the
university for the remainder of the
year to carry on his campaign.
On comnig out for office, he an
nounced that he would devote his
time to a campaign against political
protection of crime through the mis
use of senatorial patronage. While
some will deem it sufficient merely
to criticize the operation of govern
mental machinery and, stir thinking
among students, others will praise
especially a faculty man like Dr.
Hyde who is willing to carry his fight
beyond the campus on to the polling
places.

the control of styles the mackinac
would come back into vogue and the
sheepskin would have lingered longer.
These lone overcoats create the un
answerable problem of what to do
with them in a classroom.
To say that the colleges of the
country create the styles is to make
a misstatement. The leading cloth
ing manufacturers create the styles
and then set about to create the im
pression that they emanate from the
colleges and universities. In other
words, it is merely another form of
exploitation of the colleges. Col
leges get enormous amounts of free
advertising in the newspapers daily
and to brand a thing "collegiate" is
to reap some of the benefit of the
free publicity.
That, dear little boys and girls, is
the reason clothes are advertised as
collegiate" these days.
COLLEGIATE STYLES
(Ohio State Lantern)
At one time Paris was the birth
place of all fashions. Perhaps even
now the French capital has consid
erable to say about clothes or the
lack of them and how they should
be worn, but slowly and surely the
famous city is losing its dictatorial
power.
Colleges and universities gradually
are usurping this style dictating
power and this without their efforts
or consent. It formerly was the habit
of clothing establishments to adver
tise their wares as "The latest from
Paris." Now the phrases they tise are
"What college men and women are
wearing" or "Very collegiate" or
'Garments that will be seen on the
campus."
All of which is very amusing be
cause a very small percentage of col
lege students actually wear these
sartorial creations. Some styles to
be sure actually did originate in col
leges or at least were made popular
there. The slicker, for instance, got
ts start in life largely because it
was handy for football games.
Other college styles, or more prop
erly idiosyncracics, have not been so
popular with the clothing dealers.
For instance, the habit the male col
legian had and still has to some ex
tent of going without garters caused
a flurry in the garter market.
If college students actually had
