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.

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.

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.

tion with Englishmen, do you know that ovah theah a

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.

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!

Slicing bacon by hand is a

most skillful user of a butcher
knife. In spite of the utmost
care the 'ices will be thick in

makes it difficult to fry evenly.
