PLAYERS ARE VERSATILE
The University Players are proving their versa
tility. Last evening they presented a play which is yet
to come to Broadway, "The Black Flamingo".
Mystery and counter-mystery, and as a finishing
touch, a dash of sorcery and the supernatural, all go
into the makings of the plot for "The Black Flamingo"
as exciting and entertaining a mystery drama as has
ever been presented by any company.
It is rare that a university stock company has the
good luck to procure a play such as Sam Janney's, be
fore it was given its eastern presentation. It also takes
courage to attempt a new and untried play, but the
reception of "The Black Flamingo" is a sincere com
pliment to the- Players themselves for their performance
and the play itself. It will be no wonder if "The Black
Flamingo" proves to be the hit of the Players season,
and if other audiences enjoy it as much as did the first
night patrons, there will undoubtedly be many demands
for other performances of "The Black Flamingo" in
the future.

THE FILTHY WEED
Women's smoking in this University has heretofore
been an unimportant subjeet for newspaper discussion.
So few women indulged that it was hardly considered
a problem by the authorities. Now comes M. E. T., a
respectable and influential co-ed, with a "Soap Box"
letter which presents a new angle to the many-sided
problem.
She frankly admits that women's smoking detracts
from the dignity of the "sweet young things", but she
also claims that there is no moral issue involved. And
she is right A woman's morals do not necessary decay
because she smokes cigarettes; she may still be a stu
dious woman, and a model morally.
But the cigarette habit did not help her. She gained
her scholastic or social position "in spite of" the habit
rather than "because of" it. Women's smoking has be
come so prevalent in the East, however, that it is con
sidered a necessary evil, as men's smoking has been
termed universally.
a
Even though M. E. T. is right in her contention
that there is no moral issue, she cannot conclude that

To the Editor:
According to a statement made by Public Safety
Comfissioner Bair on Monday of this week, a move
ment is to be inaugurated by the city to stop the sale of
cigarettes to minors, and to prohibit girls smoking in
public places.
This new campaign by the city to stop smoking
among women, will, in all probability have absolutely
no effect on co-eds in the University of Nebraska, since
a large proportion of them smoke, and since most of Miss Erma Appleby presided at the

comes so common that a large number of students are
in favor of it, there will probably be some school ruling
allowing smoking in sorority houses, or else a rule abol

Until then, a few members of some of the soror
ities cannot be expected to set the example for the
women's student body. Most of the women in this Uni
versity do not smoke and do not approve of it, prob
ably because they think it just slightly lowers a wom
an's dignity, and places her on a level with men, where
women do not belong along those lines. To allow smok
ing in sorority Louses now, would only encourage it
for those who are against it.
It is far better to leave the situation alone for
awhile. If women's smoking continues to increase as it
has the past two years, something may have to be done.' would somewhat appease the student body?
If not, the University women are just as well off with

no other cause can it be attributed than the appearance
of the January Awgwan. From one cover to the other
the magazine is filled with Leap Year jokes, Leap Year
cartoons, and good, clean humor. What more can the
outgoing staff expect in the way of a compliment for
a humorous publication than to say it is funny? That
should mean to the Awgwan what subscriptions and
editorial fights mean to the Nebraskan.
This semester the Awgwan has taken rapid strides
forward, which is an unusual direction for that pub
lication, judging 'by past performances. Students no
longer find its pages filled with shady jokes and alleged
humor that would furnish excellent grounds for slander
proceedings. Instead they find a spicy magazine that
is worth reading but net questionable.

THE ANNUAL RENAISSANCE
About this time of year there becomes evident a
certain renaissance of academic interest, a slight re
vival of cultural pursuits from the neglect of the dark
ages, October, November and December. The occasion
is not the coming of the new year; it is the circulation
of the examination schedules. The inexperienced will
