HOME GROWN
The University of Nebraska de
partment of athletics has been criti
cized from time to time concerning:
their action on many matters. The
department has been accused of buy
ing their athletes, resorting- to poli
tical corruption, and many other
things even down to not carrying out
their plans of intramural sport. In
general, they come in for their share
of criticism, both complimentary and
adverse.
Thanks to the sport writers of the
leading Nebraska journals we stu
dents learn many things that we
would not know without the careful
interpretation of these men. How
ever, they, with the exception of few
comments, uphold the interests of
the University, and are a medium of
truth to the out-state enthusiasts
who wonder from time to time how
much of the scandal heard is true.
Since the sun has gone down on
the football world, and the scribes
have all had their fling at the "all"
picking, the subject of buying ath
letes and the using of the "mission
ary system" has been taken up by
some of the leading papers of the
state, Frederick Ware in his column
The Sportolog, in The World-Herald
puts forth some convincing material
that Nebraska does not have to re
vert to the methods named above for
getting athletes.
Mr. Ware reports that a prep track
star wrote Indian Schulte:
"Give me a job, make it sure, and
IH bring glory to Nebraska," he
promised.
Schulte answers thus:
"We dont promise jobs to any
one," the Indian replied, "and cer
tainly not to residents of other
states. Come here because you want
to be a Cornhusker, register, andj
then if you need a job and are will
ing to work at the job and at every
thing you do on the campus, in
classroom or on the field, well see
what we can do for you."
Mr. Ware further Teports that
when asked why he came to Nebras
ka, Huddleston, the hopeful and
promising hurdler answered:
"I heard about Schulte and saw
what he had done with Locke," was
the reply.
"Why did you come here?" The
query was put to Chief Elkins who
will shine next fall in the Husker
backfield and the following spring
will leap for Schulte.
"Schulte can teach me things no
one else can," said the chief, "and
I have a chance to play with a great
football team while getting as good
an education as I can get anywhere'
in the middle west." i
The Sportolog author goes on to
say that more than 80 percent of
the personnel of the Cornhusker
football squad is home grown. Like
wise in track, and in basketball. Ed
Weir and his brother, Joe, are Su
perior boys. Harold Hutchinson's
home is Lincoln. John Rhodes came
from Ansley. Howell, Presnell,
Brown, Stephens, Stiner, Raish,
Sloan, Witte, McBride, to mention a
few of the boys who played on last
years eleven and several who will
be candidates next fall, are still res
idents of the Golden Rod state. The
incomparable Locke, Billy Hein, Wir
sig, Perley Wyatt, Glen Johnson and
Frank Dailey of the track squad are
Nebraskans by birth.
To any one who believes Nebraska
is using foul means to secure ath
letes, we recommend the reading of
Mr. Ware's Sportolog in the Thurs
day, January 6, issue of The World-Herald-
And, too, it might be inter
esting to find out the number of
liome-grown athletic stars at other
Missouri Valley colleges before de-
cHing against Nebraska methods.

'TRE-SEASON- RUSHING

-sternity Council of men's rush

i vi s teniwns.

the rush cards, are going out months
previous to the actual rushing period
is one extreme which should be
avoided. "Pre-scason" rushing should
Af V. vnlilml gimnlv because it is
rushing before the specified time,
but because it approaches dorerrea
nld.?lnir in form. The only difference
is that rushing is done previous to
th student's entrance i.i the UM
vcreity Instead of during his first
year.
If the University is to hnve de
ferred nledcinir. the plan should be
adopted and put into force to its
fullest extent, but if it is to continuf
the nresent svstem. rushing should
be regulated and confined to a cer
tain period of the year. It would
have been much better, we think, to
have lot the matter of rush week
dates "hang fire" for n few months,
and thereby eliminate organised
early rushing, at least for a short
time, in an asy way.
SELF-GOVERNMENT
Another sten in the general direc
tion of more complete student self-
government has been taken at the
University of Michigan. Three stu
dents have been appointed as mem
bers of the Administrative Board of
the faculty of the literary college,
and hereafter there will be three
students on the board every year.
Michisran's administrative board
in that particular college acts in a
disciplinary capacity, taking meas
ures in such cases as dishonesty in
examinations. That the faculty
should recognize the student's right
to representation on such a board
is an indication that professors, il
approached in the right way, are well
apt to take account of student rights
and privileges as well as student du
ties and obligations.
BOOK LOVERS HOUR
This afternoon something different
at the University of Nebraska will be
tried when the first of a series of
readings and discussions on books
will be held at the University Club
at 4:30. All University men are in
vited to attend.
We don't know who Is responsible
for this scheme but whoever it is de
serves to be commended highly. This
is the sort of thing we should have
more of if our Universities are to
develop their students as they should.
These informal discussions on books,
started as we understand it by a
reading given by some faculty mem
ber, should prove to be very popular
among University men.
was walking from Tharmacy hall to
Social Science hall. I had to cross
Twelfth street. Just as I stepped In
to the street an automobile literally
filled with laughing, care-free young
people sped by me. This is not an un
common experience with most of us.
At least the speeding automobile in
this district is about as common as
the red flng in Russia. And a motor
cop is as absent as sunshine on a
rainy day.
Even with the signal lanterns we
are not beyond having the aid of the
watchful eye of the motor speed
cop. I wonder if this legislation is
what the city of Lincoln needs and
I wonder if it would be well to in
clude the Campus section in the ter
ritory that needs this legislation and
enforcement?

To the Editor:
I think I can enlighten F. S. on
the question of equal rights in Dutch
Dates. If Dutch Dates were popular
it certainly would bring equal rights
with it. If a girl pays her share of
the expenses why shouldn't she be
allowed to pick her own company. In
the other acticle I wrote on Dutch
Dates I had in mind that the girls
would then pick their own company,
just as the fellows do now.
Of course the fellows could still
be the first to ask for a date, but
Dutch Dates would give the girls the
same privileges all the time instead
of just in Leap Year as is the case
now.
I hope I have satisfied you, F. S

Law Enforcement
To the Editor:
The city of Lincoln has recently
enacted and put into force certain
new ordinances pertaining to the
speed in which one may drive a
motor vehicle about the streets of
this city. The limit is variable, being
25 miles per hour on some streets,
20 miles per hour m other streets,
and 15 miles per hour on still other
streets.
The reader will probably be at a
loss to know just what bearing this
has upon the conduct or well being
of University students. Are there not
thousands of us here in this city?
Do we not need protection from the
speeding motorist and the hit-and-
run driver? True we have the signal
lanterns on the busiest corners of
the campus; but are they all the pro
tection we need? i
If the reader will pardon a per
sonal reference, a short time ago I j
A STUDENT LABOR UNION
(The Daily Kaman.)
Unduly low wages for hours of
labor, which because of their length
constitute a serious handicap to a
full and efficient university life, pre
sent a problem which student work
ers must sooner or later face.
According to the employment bu
reau of the Y. M. C. A. there are al
most twice as many applicants for
jobs as there are jobs to be filled
This makes it possible for local em
ployers to pay miserably low wages,
and the students can't protest for it
is imperative that many work, even
if underpaid, if they are to remain
in college.
No immediate solution for this cir
cumstance is seen. Yet it is obvious
hat, with the oversupply of avail
able labor, individual bargaining will
be of no avail. Higher wages, which
would make it unnecessary for stu
dents to work long hours and hence
permit more to be employed, can be
obtained only through concerted ac
tion on the part of student workers
which means a student labor
union.
It is unessential that the organiza
tion be called a union, but that is
what it must be. The difficulty is to
convince student workers that they
must organise. The unignorable fact
stands out that they are inherently
a part of a burgeoisie which consid-

Little storie.i about the
Prices
As we said in Instalment No.
10, "The Central is a popular
. cafe"; and that expression is
broad enough to cover the ques
tion of prices.
For the prices are as low as
they can be consistently and
cover the cost of rent, food, la
bor, etc. and leave a profit for
the management. Manager Har
ris pays the highest going wages
in Lincoln for his help gener
ally somewhat above the cur
rent rates.
Quantity production and ser
vice make it possible for Mr.
Harris to realize a profit at
prices which would bankrupt a
concern selling only half as
much but with a similar over
head. Feeding half a m.llion
or more people annually makes
the per capita overhead very
low. It would be practically
five times as much per person if
only a hundred thousand per
year were fed.
A very satisfying combina
tion casts 25 cents. A la carte
breakfast anywhere from 15
cents. Luncheon 40 to 60
cents. Dinner 451 to 75 cents
and upwards. No table charge.
No tips if you don't feel like
giving them.
