BUSINESS MANAGER Asst. Business Manager , Circulation Manager Circulation Manager FRIDAY. MARCH 25. 1927 THE PLAYERS The last play of trw Temple Stock company is bein staged this week-end. The Players this year have had a mighty fine group of plays, all well attended and well appreciated by the Lincoln and the University public. Few people probably realize the loyalty of the men and women who make possible these high-class stage productions. Acting the various parts in creditable manner would he accomplishment enough for average actors. But these students and instructors of the dramatic de partment not only do that, but they design and paint their own stage scenery, make their own costumes, ao their own make-up, and finally in between scenes and npt rhnno-e settine and scenery as required. The Temple theater as a result is able to fulfill two oront nurnones. It nrovides a high order of spoken o x - . 11. drama which otherwiso would not be obtainable in our small city. It provides a splendid laboratory for stu dents in the dramatic department and for students in central who are interested in the stage. The stock company has been able not only to pay for itself as a going concern, but the revenues nave been large enough to substantially increase the budget allowance for the dramatics department, lhis is cited merely as further proof of the popularity of the Play ers as reflected in actual box effice appreciation. The season for 1927-28 will probably be even greater than the season just closing. The Nebraskan extends its heartiest congratulations on the season just closed, and its best wishes for next year. A lot of 100 percent Americans would be 100 percent Chinamen if it came actually to facing a gun. If one be given such a word as dog it is possible for a very large number of associates to be recalled. PillsburVs Psychology, page 261. NOT FOR A MINUTE A coed writes to the Campus Pulse in protest over yesterday's editorie.1 on College Engagements. . The editor is quite chagrined to think that some one wbuld think he wrote the editorial to bring coeds to account. Didn't the editor say quite positively in the second paragraph that he "wouldn't for a minute say that all these girls came down here to University in order to find a husband or even a prospective?" No girls, that wasn't the idea. N. U. T. is aggra vated quite beyond reason. The editorial was printed for the sole purpose of showing why college engage ments are so temporary. Nobody will deny that they are. And the editorial put all the blame on the poor boys, to. So there i really no reason for thinking that the girls were imposed upon. The letter reminds us though of a registration story we heard not so long ago. It seems that there was a bewildered little fresh man coed trying to register for the first time. She didn't know what she wanted. She only knew she wanted to go to University. A motherly upperclassman (from tha same sorority no innht) h?r tirder her protecting wing, and advised her this way: "It's all quite simple, dear. Just register in Arts and Science. If you don't get a strike in a year or two, change over to Teachers College." Now Just like yesterday, we wouldn't say for a minute, but oh, well, the above really did happen. Tk Woarar of tb Kjr If next to the name of each of the fifteen men who were elected to Phi Beta Kappa at the Heights, you were to place the college activities with which each man is, or ever was, affiliated, you would notice this surprising and significant fact: that in that list would be included almost avll of the more important extra curricular activities and athletics open for student participation at the Heights. In other words, these men were not only superlative in scholarship but were also prominent in student affairs and activities on the campus. - And that is a most healthy sign for both the sttt dent and the University. The Phi Beta Kappa key by itself is no open sesame to the professional or in dustrial world, nor is it an undeniable indication of superlative ability or extraordinary intelligence. It represents merely that its wearer has or had know ledge of a certain amount of facts, and had the ability to learn and memorize these facts so much more ac curately and so much more intelligently than the two hundred odd students who were learning and memoriz ing these facts at the same time as he was. But the outside world does not place a premium on memorizing ability or on classified knowledge. The wearer of the key discovers this just as soon as he tries to make his way in professional school or in the industrial world But if a student can point to a record revealing not alone high grades attained but also extra-curricula activities achievements a record which would reveal not alone knowledge of facts and ability to absorb new facts, but also the ability to rise to position, to uphold responsibilities, to perform satisfactorily a function, to tackle a job and solve it by original thought, then he can truly say that he has taken full advantage of his college opportunity. And the University can be proud to elect to the University chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and to graduate such students. New York U Daily News Banishing Distinctions In this land of comparative freedom, and with particular reference to our college, we very nonchalant ly regard the cast system as a peculiar social custom long passed out of date, or moribund. Only those who are particularly effected know the actual truth of the situation. Social distinction plays just asj great a part today as it did the day Boston was founded. Not that one class has any peculiar advantage over the others, or is in any way greater, but it is practically impos sible to shift from one group to another. As freshmen we are told that as soon as we be come adjusted, and find our position on the campus everything will be in ideal running order. Yes, that statement carries more weight than we could ever sup pose. As soon as our position on the campus is fixed, we are also fixed with it. How many students have often wondered why they are always with the same crowd, meeting the same people, doing the same things at social affairs. Wanting a variety has no effect once you are stationed. Get acquainted dances were once tried as a remedy for the situation. The effort was very commendable. One group collected in one end of the hall, another at an opposite corner, and the chances of getting out of one particular group were about as numerous as the chances the unattended person had of getting into one. Robber dances served a good purpose in the direction of orient ating the crowd until the 'brothers' started protecting each other from outside attacks.

FROM THE NECK UP In the face of the general public opinion that athletes in college are athletes . first and students second, it is refreshing to note that Nebraska has one student wht in spite of the fact that he is a world known figure in his sport, has always placed first emphasis on his studies, and has several times sub ordinated his athletic career for the professional career for which he is preparing. If the same could be said of all athletes criticism of college athletics would probably cease in great part and be supplanted in large degree with genuine praise. This young man who on several occasion has dis played his good sense in concentrating on his school work when he might have been away making new glory for himself on foreign athletic fields, probably realizes that his future enduring success and fame will depend on the training he gives himself in college above the neck, rather than from the neck down. v If all students athletes, activity boys, orthophonic operators, and all realized tfiis as much and acted on the realization as much, a whole lot more could be said about the benefits of college education. Talking about transatlantic telephone conversa tion with Englishmen, do you know that ovah theah a eedan car im orooerlv called a four floor saloon? In Oilier Columns No Need For Worry , Only about half of the women who have gone to collpgre ever marry, according to statistics recently made public in the magazine Liberty.

Fremont Tribune It isn't only that we haven't time to attempt ac quaintances in other circle, social custom says it s?mply isn't being done. The person who chooses what he wants along social lines is regarded as having a danger ously aggressive nature. What we need is a few leaders, both men and women, who are not afraid to choose what they want merely because it isn't being done. Society frequently takes the attitude 'of the snob, and a snob is one who judges on supeificial appearances, a thing entirely con demnable in college circles. Nevada Sagebrush College Football Reform Proposals for "reforming" intercollegiate football may seem to some much like projects for perpetual motion; but the plan of such a man as President Hopkins of Dartmouth, a strong friend of athletics and sometime athletic graduate manager at Hanover, cannot but receive respectful attention. Believing in the value of football, he does "not want to see it ex alted to its ruin by uncomprehensive forces outside the college life, nor to see it stifled to death by exasperated forces within." The uncomprehensive outlanders must be the graduates. The exasperated forces within are the Faculty. The undergraduates, imagined to be in- cauable uf intertill in anything but football in its sea son, have to be reformed as well as the graduates. That would require a long campaign of education. Meanwhile, there is a want of agreement as to facts. Dean Fine of Princeton, acting head of the Board of Athletic Control, says "we never did believe in this over-emphasis business down here." Professor Williamson, Faculty Manager of Athletics at City Col lege, is of the same opinion. There have been so many utterances of the dons bewailing the evils of inter colletiate football carried almost to the point of reli gious fenzy that a general sympathy with Dr. Hopkin's views in the large may be expected in the majority of Eastern colleges. His suggestions that a conference of colleges and universities be called to consider foot ball "reform", deserves to be acted on. Discussion might produce some practical results; but colleges are kittle cattle and hard to herd. ' President Hopkin's specific proposals are limita tion of membership on intercollegiate football teams to sophomores and juniors; two major elevens in each col lege, one to play on the home field and the other on the field of the adversaries; only undergraduate coachei seniors, consoled for their exclusion from games by the glory of instructing their successors. This last arrange ment looks somewhat fanciful and overrefined. How can there be two major teams; and wouldn't the exo athletic heroes have the major glory? The two years' restriction is for the purpose of enlarging the r.nmber of players. Even so, the distribution of benefits wouldn't be great, whereas the forced retirement of trained and exceptionally skillful players would be re sented not only by the comparatively negligible under graduates, but by the inexorable graduates, the chaps who "run" the colleges, if we understand contemporary academic procedure and government. These arc lay thoughts that shouldn't be obtruded. The layman may be justified in saying, though, that per haps too piuch pother has been made about the growth, expense, ferocious ardor of intercollegiate football. These are not disproportionate to the immense in crease of college wealth and population. There must be physical Unit, sometime, football expansion. For the present, f- si?j:u-aiion rings in the ears of the colleges: "Tear down thy Bowl and greater build!" In the amazing diversification of undergraduatefrinter ests, it is queer if football remains the burning halluci nation that mainly diverts youth from its studies. If it does, why not reform the colleges instead of football? Put up your standards and put out th obsessed in--apabiest Then, we are told, there is too much "pub licity" about the games; and yet we want our colleges to be thoroughly American. So they are, too, however much we may. regret it, in iir savage competitive spirit and mania to win. Perhaps, it is the United States that ougut to te reformed.

Hare a Heart, Editor . I am wondering if the editor of The Daily Nebraskan ever stopped to think that it takes a man and a wom an to become engaged. In his editor ial of Thursday he brought the coeds to account as matrimonial-seeking parasites who were in the university for one aim only to get a husband. Granted that some are here for no other purpose they cannot reach their goal until they find a man who is here for the same reason and when this condition exists there must be the same indictment due the men as he has called down on the women. It doesn't seem difficult ' for the coed flapper to find a male of the same species who is just as anxious to get the "thrill" which he said was one of the reasons for college en gagements. Because one sorority has "man aged" to get all the upperclass worn1 en engaged is no indication that all others on the campus have the same aim. And here he forgets another point. There are 20 sororities on the- campus now. Allowing an average membership of 35 the total number of sorority women would only be 700 compared to about 2,500 women who do not belong to any of these groups. Is it fair to say they are also here for the same purpose? Scholarship records of the univer sity do not bear out the editor's statements. Fewer women are ex pelled from the university than men, there are fewer women delinquents, sororities have a higher scholarship requirement for initiation, and last but not least the general average for the whole university is higher among the women than among the men. Somewhere along, the day's work they must find time between prospec tive husbands to do some earnest work. Engagements and marriages are things too sacred to treat lightly. Down through the histories of the ages men have been lovers and wom en sweethearts and . nature doesn't change much in one generation. It cannot be said that Nebraska is de veloping a one-sided creature whose aim is to get a husband and another jurt as one-sided whose aim is to avoid being caught as such. And all gold diggers are not con fined to the female of the race! N. U. T.

Some persons wish their ba con fried to a crisp almost a crackling while others want it barely warmed up. You can have it "As You Like It" at the Central Caf. Slicing bacon by hand is a difficult process ven for the most skillful user of a butcher knife. In spite of the utmost care the 'ices will be thick in places and thin in others. This makes it difficult to fry evenly. So long ago Manager Harris installed an excellent machine for slicing meats. Equipped wiuh an automatic feed and with a circular cutter runing at high speed, this device will slice more bacon in half an hour tftan several butcher-knife artists covld do i.i half a day and the slices will be of uniform thickness. This enables the fry cook to prepare your bacon just as you order it. (Te b. continued) 1325 P ing thus inspected this year.
