Cireu latum Hanacar A dress parade for University students begins to morrow when approximately S25 delegates to the con vention of the National Student Federation of America arrive in Lincoln to remain through Saturday. These visitors represent 200 schools in United States and foreign lands. With the eyes of so many outsiders upon us, let s get the right foot forward in welcoming our guests. Several of the Easterners have admitted by letter that they expect to find O street lined with settlers and log cabins. Others are dubious about the University of Nebraska as a fitting place to hold such an important convention. Then how, you ast, did this school ever secure an international meeting. Because last year Nebraska's two Student Council representatives of this society's meeting at Ann Arbor, Michigan, personally canvassed every member of the convention and explained that the hospitality of Nebraska could not be equalled. Many of the voters were skeptical but on the final vote Nebraska defeated Leland Stanford, Cornel!, and institutions of that caliber. Geographical location had something to do with the decision, but Nebraska was honored nevertheless. So students and faculty members, fraternities and sororities assist the Student Council in living up to the promises made last year. That will not be a difficult task. These students will have interesting information to discuss with Nebraska students. Tell them about this school, let them tell you about theirs, and they will depart with the feeling of hospitality they heard about. Maybe you have been wondering what has become of that old bogey man of ours the student car prob lem. To go back briefly: Liist Thursday the Inter-fraternity Council adopted a resolution which was to be presented to the Board of Regents. This resolution contained four propositions: (1) Regist-ation of all student cars, (2) Written permission of parents for student cars, (3) Restriction of use of cars to sopho mores and above in school in good standing and (4)1 Prohibition of parking within the campus area. The plan, as submitted, was referred to a faculty committee which will study its merits and then pre sent it with recommendations to the Board of Regents. If acceptable to the Regents, the rules "will become effective next semester, probably for a probationary period of one semester. This will allow ample time to test their practibility. If they work out to good advan tage, they will continue in force permanently; if not, new provisions will be adopted to replace them. In yesterday's Soap Box some free-thinking and out-spoken person pointed out to students that they did not need nurse maids in college. Evidently the Board of Regents was acting that capacity, accord ing to the writer. Why not wait until th Board of Regents causes you some trouble, L. M. M., before squalling? It you disagree with the principle invr'ved then give some valid arguments and not opinions. Several Kappa Kappa Gammas remarked yester day that they didn't "particularly care for" the cover on the latest Awgwan. "But it's only human nature after all", as the psychologists would say. While Politics rages in the newspapers of the country it is refreshing to edit a non-partisan publica tion where nobody has to be called a numskull because of his beliefs. Dally Nebraska reader art eordially inlted to contri bute article to thia column. Thi paper, howerer. aaaamea no reaponsibilitr for the aentiment expreaaed herein, and rs aervea the ritrht to exclude any liheloua or undeairable matter. A limit of six hundred word has bean placed all eon-tributlona. Den- Editor: It is noon, twelve o'clock; a hurrying, pushing, chattering crowd of students starts from the campus toward 0 Street. Engrossed in their own temporary interests and pursuits, they disregard all the minor details of ordinary courtesy. However, their deliberate and scornful indifference to all traffic regulations ds scarcely excusable on the basis of momentary preoccu pation with the business of meeting friends and getting to luncheon. This is indicative of a total disrespect of the law, as well as the flippant unconcern for rules in general. This situation is significant in that it is typical of the customary attitude taken by students toward city ordinances. At an age when most students are impressionable, this cultivation of a habit of disrespect is likely to lead to further laxness regarding the more important phases of citizenship. It is the general con census of opinion that students will ultimately become leaders in various communities and will display those exemplary qualities expected of them. The foundation for sound standards of moral judgment is laid when opinions arc readily adopted and ideas easily assimilated. Discrimination as to the relative importance of apparently insignificant regula tions is best developed when the mind ds plastic. Later such discrimination with regard to more far-reaching problems is not readily acquired, and perhaps, wholly beyond reach. P. E. M. Dear Editor: There comes a time in the life of a certain edi torial writer when the spirit indeed is willing, but the inspiration very weak. Perhaps I am growing old. Per haps I am just tired. This much I know 1. The weekly struggle to write worthy of the approval of your most high highness is slowly wearing me down. If I attempt to interpret your ideas, I fail utterly and betray my own; If I attempt to set forth my own but I haven't done that for so long why talk about it? 2. I am tangled in a web of words and every edi torial I write further confuses me. 3. I have grown so absent minded I forget the object of a sentence whether written or spoken before dt is fairly begun. 4. The sight of you makes me very unhappy. It reminds me of a task undertaken in good faith but poorly executed. 5. What with struggling for the betterment of the sisters and school of journalism; Bess Streeter Aldrich and eighteen hours credit, I can struggle no longer. Sadly but sincerely yours, (A Contributing Editor) (name withheld) Post Mortem: If you insist, I shall continue to struggle. But really, is it worth the time to tell me what to write and how only to have to re-write my attempts? Fraternities Seem to Favor Plan for Cars (Continued 'from Page 1) When we move 5n closer to the cam pus we will certainly favor such a plan of control." Ke addei that if some vt-striction could be proved nec essary, the Interfraternity plan was fci. Delta Oppoaa Plan Delta Tan Delta is the only fra ternity near the campus in which a general disapproval prevails. "We feel that university students are old enough to know how to conduct themselves," stated the Delt pres ident, "and any students who can afford cars should be able to use thesi. That is my own opinion, and the general opinion here." The Acacia fraternity house is some distance from the campus, but the opinion there is that the Inter fraternity plan is that best possible. They expressed themselves as feeling that any student, before being al lowed to drive a car, should prove very plainly his need for it. Phi Delta Theta, another fraternity away from the campus, reports that they have not discussed the plan thor oughly, but feel that they will favor some sort of regulation. The Phi Gamma Delta house la approximately two miles from the campus, but the Phi Gams will back up the Interfra ternity Council in their action. Outlfrt of Regulation The regulations of the plan which was submitted to, and approved by the Jnterfriternity Council at its meeting last Thursday evening are: 1. Registration of all student car a, includfog tboao owned or operated by Lincoln students, in the office of the officer charged with the enforce ment of these- rules. It is also sug gested that the registration include the issuance of a special license tag. 2. r.equirinjj written permission of parents bex'ors a student may own cr leop a car. 3. Use of cars restricted to sopbo-r-ic-rcs s -i 1 t" ove in school, in good f : - in tl.c University, fet in cases of actual necessity. 4. Student cars not to be parked within a certain distance of the cam pus (about one block) between the hours of 8 o'clock in the morning and 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It has also been suggested that this rule be broadened so as to forbid students living within a certain distance of the campus to drive to school. Discussion of the student car problem by the interfraternity coun cil, and the student body in general, has grown out of an order made by the. Board of Regents on October 22 that, "the use of automobiles by stu dents at the University of Nebraska be eliminated, subject to such rules and regulations as the Board of Re gents may determine after a special study of present conditions and needs." Library Possesses Novel Newspapers 4 Continued from Page 1.) prisoners enjoying themselves in an internment camp" and similar titles. One section of one of the publica tions is devoted entirely to photos of ruined French and Belgian cathed rals, with flamboyant headlines ac companying the pictures, informing the reader that these churches were destroyed by English aviators or Al lied artillery. England seemed to be an especial object of German hatred, and much space is devoted to caricatures of England, depicting it as a gigantic octopus, streching its tentacles about the world and gobbling up France, or ns an oppressor of civilization. Even old print, of the Transvaal war were called into play, and England was shown as a country of murder ers and brigands, ruining the poor people of South Africa. Reports of French casualties were often grossly exaggerate!, while German losses were always minim zed, lending the impression that rVance', outlook was gloomy and that the Ccrmani were sweeping vic toriously all over the world. It seems impossible that anyone could believe the "news" published in these papers, yet it is nobable that an appreciable amount of dam age was done to the morale of the French people by Germany's "war fare with printer's ink."

Because cf the earliness of the sea son, Black believes it advisable to take along the large squad. Reports from the Washington camp, indicate a goo quintet ready for the Cornhusker cagemen.

Aitken Is Vespers Speaker Tuesday (Continued from Page 1) as a teacher and philosopher, because of the charm of his words and of his messages. Third, Jesus was worthy as a hero. Doctor Aitken cited Robert Bruce and Garibaldi as other heroes whose followers were willing to follow their leader to death, if need be, so great was their belief in the leader. Jesus' friendship for His disciples was a fine example to mankind, according to Doctor Aitken. Fourth, Jesus was worthy of praise from the standpoint of is miracle work, especially for His power to work miracles in the souls of men. Sacrificial Ministry Stressed. "The sacrificial ministry of Jesus is a great and vital thing in the Christian religion," declared Doctor Aitken, "and for the value of His ministry, Jesus is worthy of receiv ing power, riches, strength, honor, glory, blessing, and the greatest in tellectual thought." In explaining these points Doctor Aitken stated that the greatest power is the power of a spirit-filled life, which a great many people lack. In riches, Doctor Aitken included not merely material but mental, moral, and spiritual riches as well. Preceding Dr. Aitken's talk, Mild dred Johnson sang a special solo. Evelyn Bauer led the meeting. Nebraska Has Best Ail Time Valley Record (Continued from Page 1) homa Aggies are the two low mem bers of the Missouri Valley in life time average.
