tion is inhuman, if not brutal. The Green Goblim
have no duties that might not easily be dispensed
with. When a man goes through an initiation ai
given by the Goblins for the pleasure of wearing
a cheap looking pin and attending dry meetings, he
has a right to be disgusted with the club and
most of them are frankly unloyal. An organisation
without spirit is not fit to live.
The forecast is that similar action will be
taken in the case of the sophomore organization,
the Iron Sphinx. 1 he campus would not notice the
absence of either the Iron Sphinx or Green Goblir.s.
The sport writers of the country are hoping that
the committee to christen the "Big Six" formed by
the disruption of the Missouri Valley, use discretion in
choosine a name. What a catastrophe would result in
trying to crowd "Amalgamated Association of State
Institutions for Athletics West of the Mississippi," or
some similar term into a headline!

UTOPIA AT LAST
"It looks like a clean election!"
The comment was made repeatedly, and, while
The Daily Nebraskan has no means of determining
whether the election was as lily white as it looked
the Student Council members certainly went through
the correct motions.
Nor was there anything frivolous about the polling.
Serious, unsmiling council members scrutinized the
voters till "repeaters" hesitated to return. Mr. Jensen
xand his fellow council members are to be congratulated
upon the effective manner in which the eleetion was
handled. Under the checking-validating system student
cheating was impoeaiMe, and under the check of faculty
members and the council president cheating by mem
bers of the council is improbable.
The election (it seems) was party-proof. It was
rumored (what a very convenient thing a rumor is)
that the "boy friend" of a prospective honorary colo
nel had five hundred balolts, but no unvalidated ballots
were found in the ballot boxes. It seems all the more
unlikely that this chap found a means of validating
them when the only stamp was constantly in use and
constantly in sight of officials.
The College of Agriculture election has also been
charged with corruption (also by the delightfully in
formal method of rumor), but any evidence of that
or of questionable procedure on the down town cam
pus will thrust the election, even at this late hour, into
the hands of the authorities.
a a a a a
But after all what harm if the four class presidents
dn attain their positions throue-h political string pulline?
It is true that class offices and class organizations
have been a campus joke semester after semester.
Class spirit has been impossible with leaders for whom
the majority had no respect. Nor could these so-called
leaders have any faith in their own ability or in their
own leadership. Thus they failed.
Perhaps those who are the choice of the majority
(acording to the polls) will succeed in gaining student
respect this year.
THE
SPECTATOR
It's a fine thing to know a foreign language if you
are one of the 317 people who know their own. San
Francisco Chronicle.
IN THE NEAR FUTURE
Mr. A. F. has aired his views on useless honoraries
very consistently in the columns of this paper, and now
he feels some action should be taken. As he states,
howling at the moon will not get the honoraries ousted.
So he asks the Nebraskan what steps can be taken.
We answer A. F. with the statement that several
steps can and will be taken. Although they are not to
be disclosed just at present, they may change his views
about the "no policy" policy of this paper.
Until more definite facts can be given to you,
Mr. A. F., perhaps you would like to read some inter
esting news about the Green Goblins which has been
submitted to this paper for publication. It follows:
At the initiation recently held by the Green
Goblins, honorary freshman organization, repres
entatives of several fraternities were absent.
The missing fraternities state that they in
tend to discontinue electing a member to the or
ganization. Like action on the part of other frat
ernities will probably bring about the death of the
Green Goblins. '
As it stands now, this honorary is self-perpetuating.
The newly elected members pay the out
going member five dolalrs, and they in turn, re
ceive money back from the next men initiated.
The reason the Green Goblins has existed so long
is because no one has wanted to lose five dollars
to terminate its life.
The chief objections raised are that the organ
ization does nothing worthy and that the initia-
11 October, 1927
Mr. Spectator:
It occurred to me this afternoon, that a very
grievous State of Affairs should by all means be called
to your Attention, and an Explanation given if that
were possible. I refer to the Situation at and near me
Temple Polls, , which caused me some Indignation and
no little Disgust. As I was strolling in a peaceable and
retiring manner past the Temple, I was, accosted no
less than Five Times by women who were as Insistent
as Courtesans in their Soliciting. Not being a Reader
of the Daily Nebraskan only as regards your column,
I was considerably Discomfited, as you can readily
imagine, at the Solicitations of these Women. Will you
take it upon yourself to explain Why these Women
embarrassed me on the street, and also Why such a
State of Affairs is allowed to exist in our Society? I am,
Sir,
Your most humble servant,
Isaac Bickerstaff.
It is with some amount of Hesitation that I comply
with my Correspondent's insistent Request, and indeed
Mr. Bickerataff places me in an Unfortunate Position,
for the Subject he alludes to is a Delicate one, a Dis
cussion of which would require a certain Amount of
Tact. Rut I can not conscionably refuse the Request
of any who thus ask my Opinion, and therefore I shall
attempt to explain the grievous State of Affairs of
which Mr. Bickerataff complains.
To those who are equally ill-informed as my cor
respondent, then, I say that the Women who were as
"insistent as courtesans with their soliciting", as he
phrases it, vere Candidates for ths Position of hon
orary colonel, and they were at the Time undoubtedly
asking Mr. Bickerataff to cast his Vote in their Favour,
the which request he probably did not hear, in his Con
fusion. It is an oda Coincidence that I myself have
often ruminated upon this matter, and it has seemed
to me that the customary Solicitations of the Candi
dates are incompatible with the Position itself, which
is designated as Honorarv. I bethonp-ht me in th""
Speculations that if a Woman truly thought herself
qualified for such a Position, she would be content to
rest upon her Reputation and, since the Position is
purely Honorary, .llow the recommendation of Merit
to decide the Election. But this is not the accepted
Practice, and I suppose each Woman who aspires to
the military Honor entertains Doubts that she has the
Merit to attain to the Position, and so she resorts to
the time-honored Privileges of Women, that is to say,
in the matters of Pleading and Persuasions by means
of the so-called Womanly qualities.
I regret to Say that this is the Substance of the
Explanation I am able to give Mr. Bickerataff, although
my Readers might wish to hear that I myself was sol
icited yesterday by a Certain woman, to cast my Vote
in her Favour at the Election. With the proper Quan
tity of Indignation I refused politely but firmly to
cast a Solicited vote, especially in the case of a Woman
candidate. This is the only Recourse men have, so far
as I know, and I recommend jt to Mr. Bickerataff'
use at the next Election.

I was slightly Disappointed in the Awgwan, but I
have decided that it will be best not to discourage the
Editor with my Criticisms, so I refrain, only adding
that I think the Magazine shows promise and that at
least it is Clean. I thought there were but two really
excellent Pieces in the Awgwan this month, and one
of them was the Parody on Milt Gross by Miss Ayres.
And now I shall settle myself to Wait until the
Prairie Schooner comes off the Prest. There is no
Method of knowing when this Event will come to pass,
for the Editors are very Cautious in announcing the
Publication Date; but I recommend Patience to my
Readers who are, like myself, anxious to see the next
Issue.
I append something neither the Awgwan nor the
Praine Schooner can attain to; I refer to the incom
parable Incomprehenaibilia, of which Three Poems
have already appeared. The Fourth follows-'

Mrs. Holofkof is now suing for her
statutory one-third of the estate, on
the grounds that the divorce was in
valid because the proceedings were
defective. The estate amounts to
about $2,000.00.
Schooled in Russia
In her native Russia, Mis. Holof
kof failed to complete hei work in
high school because of the death of
her mother. All of her schooling she
has received in Russia, except fjr
the short time in New York City.
Russian schools, however, do not
have as high a standing as the Amer
ican schools, she pointed out. Edu
cation in Russia is very expensive
and the boys receive preference over
the girls.
Ru .sia has plenty of schools and
students, she explained, but here, as
in almost every phase of life, the
Germans and Jews are more priv-
iliged than are the Russians. The
real Russians are too poor, it seems,
to send their children to school. All
of the schools are government
schools and under government sup
ervision.
Siberia, Sweden, Germany, Eng
land and Wales, have been visited by
Mrs. Holofkof, besides Russia, Cana
da and the United States.
"Germany is a perfect hell," she
commented. "I lived for a vear in
Germany. The people are mean,
cruel and utrly. The Germans hat
Russia and want to run Russia. The
Germans are crazy all of the time."
was her angry and radical declaration.
"The Germans were the devilment
of it all," was her heated statement
about the cause of the great world
war. "I gave my two boys to that
war, but I won't give my boys to war
again. Never, and I'd tell that to
President Coolidge himself."
"America is more like Heaven
than any other country," was her
answer as to whether she would
rather live in Russia or the United
States. But she said, "America is
robbing God," meaning that we
Americans give only that which we
don't need, or that which is all worn
out and useless to us. She thinks
we give away money that is mostly
ill-gotten gain, and that we pay our
missionaries too much.
"I suport two missionaries in Rus-.
sia myself by my sewing and hair
cutting," she said. When I protected
that it cost a great deal to support
two missionaries and that some
churches supported only one, she
laughed and said, "Yes, but your
church missionaries eat chicken din
ners and live in nice houses."
"Russia is a great and beautiful
place. Though I have travelled much,
there is no country as beautiful.
But I am American ever since I
