that it still has some scholars who are
eager to show that there is real worth

U HALL AGAIN
Old University Hall is no longer
a tradition, and has no real cause
for remaining on the campus, save
that the appropriations are not large
enough to allow a new building in
its place.
There are still those who cry that
it should be left standing till its
foundations crumble because of the
memories of the days gone by.
They picture a touching scene when
the old grad returns, and with tears
in his eyes, gazes fondly on the ruins
of what used to be a place of tor
ture for conjugating irregular french
verbs. One romantic alumnus de
clared that he hoped it would stand
forever, for when he first saw his
wife, she was coming out of the old
building, but it is rumored that an
other less sentimentally inclined in
dividual wished it torn down for the
same reason.
U. Hall is no longer a tradition.
Had it remained a normal, full-grown
building, with a bell in its tower,
which tolled on state occasions we
would all do homage to its age, and
reverence it for memory's sake. Each
initial scratched in its limestone
foundation wiuld; recall the days
when fond couples walked about the
campus in the evening, enjoying the
scenery.
In its present state it is more than
an eyesore. A picturesque ruin
could be tolerated even in an ultra
modern, mid-west town, but a lopped
off building, with no pretence to
beauty left, is a disgrace. The bell
and tower have long since vanished,
along with the upper floors. What
remains is disgustingly sticky with
tan paint that refuses to dry after
many months. Doors spring rpen
at surprising times, and during the
winter months, the winds blows a
regular gale through the drafty cor
ridors, and whistles about the loose
window frames.
There is no reminiscence connect
ed with the unintelligible names
scratched on the stones, for the
young people who put them there
have been gone for years, and the
present students are not the type
to take a day or two to dreaming
over the old sweethearts who put
them there. The campus is a place
to work, and the very nicest moon
light night does not tempt even one
amorous couple.
A tradition should rightly be some
thing worthwhile which could be
handed down with the idea in view to
benefit the persons concerned, or,
as in this case, the school. U Hall
can claim no such justification for
its existence, or any good reason for
not being razed, save the purely
financial one caused by the legisla
ture. The old Armory had no such ro
mantic hold on the men's athletic de
partment when they moved into
their new building, and it is unfor
tunate that the scholastic side of
school life should be handicapped by
such illusions. U Hall is no longer
tradition, if it ever could lay any
claim to the title, and it should be
torn down to make place for a build
ing where people will be able to
think of the future, not of the past.

the trip is paying twenty-five dollars
out of his own pocket. There is no
reason why every student on the cam
pus who is financially able to do so
should not buy a ticket to this dance.
In the past, tag days and other
. i j.1
means were resorted to wnen ine
band needed money for a trip. But
this year, every student who buys a
ticket will be receiving full value for
the money he gives. This dance is not
charity or anything of the kind. It
is simply a business proposition. If
enough students buy tickets and the
affair is a success, the band will prob
ably make the trip.
If the band makes the trip, it
means that there will be forty loyal
Cornhuskers in the stands, backing
the team with every iota of energy
they have. And it will be one of the
best advertisements the University of
Nebraska has ever sent half way
across the United States.
No one needs to be told that the
R. O. T. C. band is one of the most
useful organizations on the campus
and no one needs to be told that there
is no group of men on the campus
that does more to help the team, our
team, win, than the band.
How about it students? Do you
want the band to go to Washington?
If you do, the best way you can ex
press your opinion is to buy a ticket
to the next varsity dance. The band
is paying part of its own way, and is
selling tickets to the dance. The rest
is up to you!

THE PRAIRIE SCHOONER
The announcement last week of
the publication of a literary maga-r
zine meets with the approval an re
joicing of many persons on the cam
pus, both students and faculty mem
bers.
There is undoubtedly a great deal
of remarkable material here witness
the caliber of the few works of str
dents which have been published, and
probably the main reason that others
have not been beard from is because
there has been no suitable vehicle.
The Daily Nebraskan is unable to
publish a literary supplement, as
many school papers do, and the Aw-
gwan would hardly be interested in
this type of work. So it remained for
an entirely different sort of magazine
to come forth, and we hope that the
Prafri Schooner will take this place.
At first it may be hard to arouse
enthusiasm from the hard working
University people, but this is to be
expected. Other schools have similar
publications, and Nebraska has grown
so tht it too should be represented
in the literary field with student ef
forts. The Prairie Schooner will not be
t'is lind of a magazine to pick up
n in a V.f Y.t or frivolous mood,
but it is for those ho have distinct
Kterary taste, aij-irationa, or intei-
THE PESTIFEROUS ALUMNI
(The McGill Daily.)
Under this suggestive title Percy
Marks, notorious for his contribution
to the literature that depicts college
life, deals with the problems arising
in the relation between the alumni
and the college in an article which ap
peared in a recent issue of Harper's
magazine.
He tells the story that several col
lege presidents were discussing what
they would do after they retired.
What would they be fit for, was the
question. Well, said one of them, "I
don't know that I'd be fit for any
thing, but I know what I'd like to
do. I'd like to be the superintendent
of an orphan asylum so that I would
never get any letters from any par
ents."
"I've a much better ambition," ex
claimed another, "I want to be a war
den of a penitentiary. The alumni
would never come back to visit."
Mr. Marks is concerned with the
problem as it exists in the American
colleges where the continued inter
ference of graduate societies in the
administration of university affairs
has rendered the lives of many col
lege heads unbearable. Especially do
the alumni manifest an insatiable de
sire to control the athletic policies of
their alma mater and in this there
is no bounds to their enthusiasm.
There can not be enough of rah-
be a social hour.

This tendency in American educa

tending an appreciation of the spirit
behind this enthusiastic interest in
the affairs of their alma mater, uni
versity heads should not permit
themselves to be intimidated by blus
tering alumni. The graduates who
have passed out of the active arena
of undergraduate activity have not
the right in the administration of the
college; they may not dictate the
policies of the university of which
they no longer form an integral part.

Dr. W. T. Elmore, pastor of the

declared, "It is the bumpy detours
which our parents encountered in the
louise of their lives which gave them
character."
