We take great pleasure in compli

more class, fifty of whom turned out
to the election of officers Wednesday
night. This is, as far as we know, the
largest attendance at a class meeting
in many years. We expect, and not
without hope, that as many will at
tend the rest of -the class meetings
for we know that the sophomores
would not want to have it said that

of being elected to a class office.

To the Editor:

this is the opinion of a minority, and
that tho majority is entitled to have

is no catastrophe imminent. The
Forum inevitably changes color to
suit its environment, and we who arc
in the midst of thnt environment can
not always be certain as to which
color is predominant.
I close by repeating that the spirit
of those who manifested sufficient in

admirable and commendable. I am
glad, however, that the burden which
rests on their shoulders is not on

(Wiaconsin Cardinal.)
In this busy, bustling university
life where we needs must allot so
much time of a short day to its por
tions of so much to study, so much
to play, some time for eating, some
for reflection, and some for the de
tails, we must of necessity watch out
lest we let the hurry and pressure of
busy days become an excuse for the J rooms.

more than this one question, they
ence to The Daily Nebraskan's poli
cies regarding military training last
year. Is it advisable, Mr. Frost, to
drag our petty personalities into the
discussion when so great an issue as
deal with the very existence of the
Forum itself. The purpose of the
World Forum, as Margaret Hyde,
one of its leaders, said in her letter
yesterday, is to "furnish a place for
discussion of issues upon which the
students are, or should be, inter
ested." The question arises now as
to whether or not the Forum is ful
filling that purpose.
Mr. Torrey contends, and we are
inclined to believe that he is right,
that the Forum is failing to live up
to its avowed purpose when it selects
such subjects as "The Basis of Reli
gion" with subjects of much more
interest to the student body left un
touched. Mr. Torrey believes that the
Sunday movie question was one of
treat interest to the students. The
But since the beans have been
spilled, I can only point out that The
Daily Nebraskan's policy during the
R. O. T. C. quarrel last spring was
exactly that which I believe the For
um is duty bound to take on the Sun
day movie question and every other
important issue. The Nebraskan not
only published but solicited scholarly
arguments both for and against the
compulsory feature of the R. O. T.
C It branded as rot all of the bunk
which was put out by the unethical
representatives of both groups, and
pointed out the validity of every
sound argument. And as an individ
ual, the editor plainly expressed his
dissapproval of military training that
is compulsory, and his equal lack of
sympathy with the tactics of those
who circulated petitions. I assure
you, Mr. Frost, that my own attitude
champions of the Forum believe thatiis ly the same today; as for the
poncy oi me ieorasKan, i am no
it was not. In either event, it is no
longer an issue and there is not much
use to talk about it any longer.
What is of great consequence,
however, is the future policy of the
World Forum committee. Are they
going to select live, timely subjects
of interest to this particular campus
or are they going to fall back upon
the vague uninteresting subjects
which they have sometimes chosen in
the past We hope it will be the for
mer. Lincoln Frost, Jr., in his letter
TJUbhshed yesterday said, the com
longer in a position to speak.
The Fornm should be something
better than a Sunday school class. It
should be all that its name implies.
It should be a place where any man
who has a grievance can 'express it,
and any man who feels inspired to
defend the existing order of things
can give his refutation. The Forum
need take no stand as a group. But
it should, I think, continue the policy
this year which has made it a great
institution in other years. It needs
the vigor and valor which Arthur

we are convinced of their universal !fend the r'Kht f ree speech, free
appeal will gladly discuss them." If
the Forum will conscientiously live
up to that promise, it will become the
interesting and important factor in
the University life that it should be.
The annual announcement of the
Junior-Senior Prom committee has
been made, causing smiles of doubt
among those of us who have been
here a few years. It won't be long
now until it will be called the "myth
ical Junior-Senior Prom" and selec
tions to the committee will be some
what on the order of Ail-American
football selections, that is, the mem
bers never even meet, let alone do
anything.
We have been watching the In
diana Daily Student carefully and
found, much to our sorrow, in the
latest issue a report of a faculty
meeting in which it was decided not
to allow ftn extra day of Thanksgiv
ing vacation. Students at che Univer
sity of Texas have fared better, how
ever, having been granted a similar
holiday to the one we Nebraskans
will enjoy.
The most recent action of the Stu
dent Council is to pass a ruling
whereby any member who misses
three consecutive meetings is drop
pea irom tne organization. This is a
'"cry commenaaDie action; the only
thing wrong with it, if anything, is
that it is not quite strong enough
There is entirely too much "dead
veight" in the Council now and the
sooner it is weeded out the better.
The freshman rally Friday night

this age, it require more courage to
stand up for that simple right, to
which every son and daughter of the
Revolution is entitled, than it does
to lead the hosts of either conserva
tism or radicalism.
For my own part, I would prefer
to see the Forum turn pink rather
than yellow; because my limited ob
servations have led me to believe that
dulling and polish on our manners.
It is easy enough to lose our titles
and prestige as Lord Chesterfields by
passive neglect. Because we arc tired
we are wont to omit the pleasure oi
friendly talk and jest from out rou
tine; because, we are hard pressed for
time in which to perform our duties
we are inclined to eat hurriedly, a
mechanical procedure of supplying
the stomach and neglecting the splen
did opportunity for discussion and
chat over our dinner plates; because
somebody jostles us in a slow moving
crowd and then forgets his "Pardon,
please!" we let ourselves emulate this
type and we too proceed to elbow and
push our way about rudely. It can
reasonably be stated that as a class
we in the university would like to be
polite and civil to our fellows. Per
haps it can also be said that as a
class we are letting the "civilities"
of society drop out from non-use
letting the pressure of our work de
prive us of one of the better marks
of education, fine manners.
Our attention was called to this
fact by a letter which an Australian
student at the university sent back
to his home and which had circulated
widely throughout the island. He does
not criticize our dinner table eti
quette, but relates an account of its
procedure which suggests, if his ob
servations art true, that we are not
concerned with fine manners. His
account of a dinner in Madison, as
printed in the Wellington Dominion
of N. Z., follows:
" unless it is for a special oc
casion, one spoon a teaspoon does
duty for tea, pudding, and other pur
poses, lou have no small plate and
knife, and no fork for dessert. You
have meat and potatoes on one plate,
vegetables on another, and salad, etc..
on another. Pudding is likewise
served with the first course. You sit
down and arrange all these dishes in
front of you, and then begin the
race. To be really in the running
(first cut up your meat as you would
for a small child, then throw away
the knife. Everything is now clear
for a straight run; by the time you
have finished your meal, the salads,
vegetables, and pudding have done
the disappearing trick too. Some
times you leave the pudding until
last. If you do, the meat plates are
not cleared away, but you put the
pudding plate on top of the others
and carry on. In some places I have
been quite well-to-do-homes at that
you 'lick' the meat plate with bread
and then serve pudding on the same ;
plate. Of course, when this is the
proper procedure one wants to be
sparing with the gravy, unless one'
brings the much-used teaspoon into 1
use." j
Quite a vivid account of our "gas-!
tronomic calisthenics," isn't it! Our
visiting Australian cousin has a tal-!

Lieutenant Benter also offered to

ent for picturesque writing, but we
doubt if his account can be taken as
the true picture of our dinner tables.
Perhaps he has seen this tragedy of
etiquette enacted at some second-rate
lunch counters; we most certainly
hope that it was not in well-to-do
homes, as he relates. Doubting as we
do the general application of this let
ter to most of us, his effort is still
worthy in some respects.
It shows that we are being watched
by impartial observers and that our
actions, our conduct, our manners are
being chronicled and published in
other lands. He has observed that our
meals portray the atmosphere of a
race "knives and forks, ready! get
set! Go!" between appetites and
edibles. In addition to our bad man
ners, we are bustling along little con
scious of our hurried eating, our
jostling in the crowds.
It is not necessary that we emulate
Little Lord Fauntleroy of the Pre
cieuses in order that we may be
called ladies and gentlemen. We can,
however, pay more attention to what
we are doing and where we are going
in the matter of civilities. Graceful
manners plus a good education will
go much farther than a mere education.
