GRADE SCHOOL STUFF
Nebraska has long been proud of her athletic
teams. And back of that pride has been a pride in Ne
braska spirit, not merely the spirit of conquest in sport,
but also the finer elements of collegiate athletics, loy
alty, sportsmanship in play and in the stands, and fair
play to all at all times.
It was with regret that Nebraska students, ap
preciative of the reputation for sportsmanlike conduct
carried by Cornhusker teams and fans, viewed out
bursts against decisions of the referee at the Washing
ton game Monday.
The referee may have been wrong. The best of
officials will make mistakes. But left alone, a good of
ficial will correct his errors by. a balance between the
tcflimSe
Start "razzing" an official, however, and it is an
other story. If the official is really trying to be fair,
such conduct handicaps him by creating a prejudice
against the offenders. If he is really unfair (a very,
very rare thing in these days of certified, accepted of
ficials), such conduct only gives him an excuse for pen
alizing the team whose supporters are unruly.
From the standpoint of the team, itself, denun
ciation of the official during the game is a handicap.
It permits an official to call a foul on the crowd. Games
have been won and lost by the margin of such fouls.
But from a larger standpoint, it is below the stand
ards of sportsmanship generally accepted by college
students the country over. It is not even typical of the
standards of sportsmanship which are being inculcated
pretty generally in our high schools today. It is "grade
school stuff".
It is doubtful whether students were entirely re
sponsible for the Washington affair. Certain it is that
the bulk of the students were not in sympathy with
the demonstration Monday. At the same time, students
were responsible for its going as far as it did.
Nebraska has a fine schedule ahead. There were
some wonderful games last year on the new Coliseum
court. Every indication is that Hi'sker basket fans have
several treats in store for them this year.
It will be regrettable if students are responsible
for handicapping the team in the future, or for mar
ring the standards of sportsmanlike conduct for which
Cornhusker teams have been standing.
PERSPIRING WINTER
It isn't spring yet, but it's sprung. Milder weather
in June never bathed this campus so benignly as has
the warm weather of the past few days. The stage is
all arranged for university students and others deserv
ing rest to enjoy themselves in thear idleness with a
valid excuse for relaxing in the Usual manner.
Fur coats look and feel entirely out of place now.
Another novel thing is standing in line hours to try
and get an advisor's signature while perspiration drips
from the worried brow, to the accompaniment of a
whistling radiator pouring out plenty of heat, together
with open windows letting in plenty of heat. The most
"usual" weather in "unusual" California would never
surpass the unusual weather this campus is getting in
January. The ground is soft, sidewalks are narrow,
and someone is always getting the worst of it in the
soggy earth, for the walks have a modest capacity which
fails to satisfy in the between class rush.
It is conservatively estimated that the yield of the
poem crop will rise rapidly as a result of the warm
breezes. Romantic ones are having their inning too,
what with the nights even spreading along the wonder
ful illusion of summer. Permanent waves are gaily
riding an unexpected crest of popularity with the warm
weather guarantee of added curliness suddenly coming
into usefulness in an off-season month.
Classes have lost their flavor, courses have become
stale, everyone feels the urge of the Great Outdoors,
or words to that effect, while an dnstructor noted for
his righteous devotion to duty, has been observed neg-
LOOKING TOWARDS FALL
Shortly before Christmas vacation, recommenda
tions were made to the Inter-fraternity council for a
change in rushing rules designed to eliminate the
"hiding" of rushees from rival fraternities.
At that time, the council was busily engaged in
considering the report of its committee which investi
gated the question of student automobiles, conse
quently, the rushing suggestion, modelled after a sim
ilar rule in force at the University of Colorado, was
referred to a committee, practically without discussion.
The Inter-fraternity council will meet again
Thursday. Some report on the proposal will probably
be made at that meeting by the committee which has
been considering the proposition.
Some campus sentiment has been expressed as
opposed to the suggested ruling because it is new.
Others have favored leaving it for another year.
It is admittedly something entirely new on the
Nebraska campus. But that should not prevent 'its being
discussed sanely and suitable action taken upon its
merits. It is not a new and novel proposition frim an
other standpoint. It i3 in use elsewhere and has been
worked satisfactorily.
The proposal would require the registration of all
"rush dates" with the Inter-fraternity council. In case
of failure of a fraternity to deliver rushees in its pos
session to other fraternities with whom the rushees
had dates at the stated time, said fraternity would be
deprived of its pledging privileges.
The proposal was not made as a restrictive regu
lation. It was made in realization of the fact that the
"hiding" practice has become a nuisance, that most
fraternities realize that it is necessary only because
others do so. It was submitted in the belief that it
would furnish an easy way of remedying a situation
which is recognized as undesirbale while having suf
ficient teeth in its provisions to penalize offenders who
did not choose to co-operate in the securing of equit
able rushing.
Slavic Religion
Is Vespers Topic

churches of this country.
"In my opinion the Russians are
the most religious people in the
world," Professor Slepanek con
tinued, "but in Russian schools today
children are taught that God is a
myth, just as fairies and dwarves are
myths. Everywhere quotations from
the socialist Bible which was written
by Karl Marx, such as 'Religion is
an opiate to a people,' are made
prominent."
1,600 Churches in Moscow.
In Moscow there are 1,600 very
rich churches, all of one faith, which
the people have been forced by pub
lic taxation and other means to build
and support in past centuries and
generations.
"So remember that behind all the
indifference and contempt for relig
ion which may be shown by Slavs in
this country there is a very real and
vital reason born of centuries of per
secutions," he concluded.
Preceding Trofessor Stepanek's
talk Patrice Nichols played "Poetico"
and "Etude de Concert" both com
posed by Sternberg.
NOT THE KICK OUT
The University Night Committee has been chosen
and preparation for the "annual fun fest" will soon
be under way. Due to the rigid censorship to be exer
cised over all material to be produced, there has arisen
a doubt as to whether or not the committee will be so
limited that they cannot put on a real show.
In an endeavor to give a sensational portrayal of
university life, many of the skits last year went so far
as to picture only a few of the extremes to which stu
dents, as well as others, sometimes go in search of
excitement. University life in its natural and existing
state was scarcely touched. It is only for the elimina
tion of such acts as these that a more careful censor
ship of the show is to be made this year. It was never
the purpose of those in charge to put on a program such
that the authorities of the University could not stand
behind them in proclaiming it an entertainment worthy
of their approval and commendation. The restrictions
are chiefly for the purpose of enabling the committee
to check up on the skits before they are presented. In
this way they can check the cause of unfavorable criti
cism instead of being forced to defend themselves for
putting on a rotten show.
It is apparent, then, that the censorship placed
upon the program should not take the life and spirit
from University Night, but should add to it by elimin-
ating irrelevant contributions which were becoming so
numerous as to almost destroy the real character of
the production.
In Other Columns
TOO ELEMENTARY?
Discussion caused by Professor Taussig's recent
address before the Harvard Liberal Club tends rather
to refute than carry out his contention that the time
required for a college course is too long. The famous
Harvard economist thinks that the time can be short
ened as it is in Europe by making the freshman year
more advanced.
It seems to us that the fault and the correction
lies in the high school and not in the colleges of our
system. The Christian Science Monitor of December 12,
1927, states that there is entirely too much ground
to cover for the college course time to be shortened.
Many of the advanced high schools are speeding up
graduation for their selected pupils, and this seems to
be very successful.
Certainly our experiences at the University of
Colorado have not led us to believe that our first year
is too elementary. The facts lead us to the opposite
view. Students of all kinds come to the University from
high schools of varying degrees of excellency. Many
of these students are so illy prepared in elementary
English, mathematics, science, and history, that they
are by no means ready to undertake advanced work
in these fields. For some students we believe that a
review of these elementary essentials could well be in
corpated in the college course. We commend the Uni
versity's method in the freshman English course and
the differentiation between advanced and less advanced
students in the Arts course in freshman mathematics.

Regents Vote
To Raise Fees

ances, but it will leave little money
for special emergencies and will not
permit the necessary increase of the
budget next year to cover normal in
creased costs. The Regents in giving
consideration to needs for the next
fiscal year believe the interests of the
students themselves require some ex
pansion in the budget. They are able
to provide for this through an in
crease in fees which will be slight for
any individual student but sufficient
in aggrngate to cover tbo Uri
veruity'8 immodiate necth.
The minimum non-resident fee
will be $25.00 per semester. The
same reciprocal fees will be charged
as now to states which have a higher
tuition for Nebraska students. The
fees in ordinary academic subjects
are .increased from $1.00 per credit
hour to $1.50 per credit hour; in lab
oratory subjects ' from $2.00 ner
credit hour to $2.50 per credit hour.
I he fees m the Law College will be
$4.00 per credit hour; in Pharmacy,
$46.00 per semester or $92.00 per
pear; in Dentistry, $100.00 per sem
ester or $200.00 per year: in Medi
cine, $100.00 per semester or $200.00
per year. In the summer session
$15.00 will be charged for each term
of six weeks. Other fees are not
changed.
These fees are lower on the aver
age than those charged in neighbor
ing states for a similar type of in
struction. In the few instances in
which our fees may be considered
high, the type of instruction is es
pecially expensive and the percent
age of the cost paid by each student
is lower than that averaged for the
entire University.
