Krn Circulation Manager J. Marshall riuer THE ARMY GAME With the 1928 Army-Navy game practically out of the question, discussions as to the probability of a Nebraska-Army contest dominate sportdom. The vague suggestions of a week or so ago as to the possibility of such a game have gathered momentum so rapidly that national figures are now involved in the solution of a problem which, it has been intimated, may be decided definitely within the next few days. "Get the game!" the Husker fan cries, without stopping to consider the various factors which might be involved to so great an extent that Nebraska officials might even be forced to reject the offer of such a con test. To gain a proper conception of the difficulties un der which such an agreement must be made, it must be remembered that the 1928 football schedules for both teams (with the exception, of course, of the Navy game on the Army schedule) had been definitely settled. Ne braska had completed its usual eight-game schedule. And among the games is listed a trip to New York to play Syracuse. Added to this is the fact that, under the rules of the newly-formed "Big Six", eight games are the maximum number that can be played during a foot ball season. Although the exact opinion of the Army officials is not as yet known, it has been stated in eastern papers that West Point officials are unfavorable to the idea of the cadets journeying as far west as Nebraska for a game next season. Although Nebraska representatives are still hoping for a two-year contract in which a game will be played at West Point (or New York) and at Lincoln, rumors are to the effect that the Army offer will probably be limited to a one-year contract for a game either at West Point or New York. Such problems, then, that are so important that they cannot be cast aside without serious consideration include : (1) Would a nine-game schedule, including two trips to the eastern coast, be a justifiable undertaking? Since the only date under consideration is Novem ber 24., such an acceptance would mean that Nebraska would meet Pittsburgh at Lincoln on Saturday, Novem ber 17. They would then leave for New York on the following Wednesday and would play the Army on Sat urday, November 24. Returning to Lincoln on Monday or Tuesday morning they would make preparations for the Thanksgiving game with the Kansas Aggies on Thursday, November 29. (2) Would such a schedule with the two long trips take the players away from their classes to too great an exteut? (3) Would the members of the "Big Six" make an exception to the rule and allow Nebraska to play the extra game with the Army? And, if one or two did object, what stand could Nebraska, who had been the dominate personality in forming the new confer ence, take? The suggestion of a solution to the long-trip disad vantage by playing the game at Chicago is not consid ered since it has been definitely stated by officials of both institutions that they are absolutely against such a suggestion, regarding such a proposition as merely a financial enterprise in which the principles for which amateur football stands would be1 lost. Such a proposi tion has been press box ballyhooing. Such, then, are briefly the problems which seem to point out the objections to playing such a game under the existing circumstances. On the other hand is the great advantage offered by the increased prestige that Nebraska would undoubtedly gain by playing such an interactional contest. Representatives of the Nebraska athletic board are at present weighing these problems carefully and will soon form thir final decision. Nebraska students are waiting for a decision favor able to a 1928 Nebraska-Army game. But favorable or unfavorable, it is hoped that a sane study of the rea sons for such action will be made before the etorm of disapproval, if such there may be, breaks. "The University opened its football season Satur day with Lincoln high school as opponents in the pres ence of a small and quiet crowd of the faithful." Daily Nebraskan Tuesday, Sept. 22, 1903. What a battle that would be in 1928! TICKET SALES BALLYHOO The recent announcement made by the Kosmet Klub that attendance to the annual Interfraternity Ball to be given next Saturday evening would be limited to three hundred couples was generally received with a. shrug of the shoulders and an attitude of "another ticket sales ballyuoo". This was not an antagonistic attitude directed against the Interfraternity Ball, but rather one which has resulted from constant abuse of the sales argument of an "exclusive party" in which there was actually no limitation upon the number of tickets sold. So when an organization definitely places such a restriction upon the number of tickets to be sold and then abides by its statement, the actio;, is worthy of comment. Meiklejohn Discusses Experimental College (Continued from l?age 1) rience so far has .been this eleven of us have been hammering out a course of study, and testing methods of tea'ching. We haven't known from day to day what would happen next. But we have some progress." Some of the tentative conclusions v.h'ch Dr. Meiklejohn anJ his staff 1 ive reached ars: , The course of study and methods In , . risy so common . , "'-u uouies and would nrefVr to no student government than one in name only! - Ohio State Lantern. of teaching now employed are best adapted to the average student, but not to the superior student or to the highly specialized student. Although no regulations governing the daily regime of the students at tendance at meetings, etc. have so far been adopted, it is clear that some few must be. The faculty generally agrees, however, that the regulations be as few as possible; that each student should be civen a chance to learn for himself how to rrrange his work most effectively. Such is the present ticket sales policy of the Kos met Klub. Approximately two hundred twenty-five tick ets have already been sold. When the remaining number (amounting to less than three tickets to a fraternity) are sold the campaign will be closed. "Since when has the Kosmet Klub' become so altru istic?" the cynic asks. The Klub, however, lays claim to no such high motive. Since the Interfraternity Ball is a well-established social function the committee has not been forced to rely upon such sales argument for attendance. And so it strives to gain prestige by planning a party that would be one of the best of the year. Too large a crowd would defeat that purpose. Thus the restriction upon ticket sales. COLLEGE MOVIES There has been, in the last few months, a growing ' feeling among university students in the country against the so-called "college life" moving pictures. Students at Princeton have petitioned the theater oper ators not to show any more such pictures there. This is just another phase of the old story, running a good horse to death. Students enjoyed the first de pictions of their mode of life. They laughed and said, "Go to the movies and learn about college life." Ad vertisers, realizing that the eyes of the nation are fo cused on the younger generation, played their part well, advertising "college life as it it." The people of the country are human and they are impressionable. When they see a picture that has been termed popular, and that picture shows the stu dents at an institution of learning leading a carefree existence, they immediately get the idea that such is the true situation. As for the students, they enjoy seeing a comedy taken from college life. Any satire, if presented in the proper manner, is popular. But the constant repitation of seeing the green freshman win in athletic contests over the star athlete is getting tiresome. Some few pic tures truly depict college life. Others show the star football player mixed up in some scandal or a dastardly plot and declared ineligible for competition, only to have the affair straightened out and to dash into the game with "one minute to go" and win for his alma mater. And the pretty little co-ed always has a hand in winning the game by telling the hero that she really loves him and not the other fellow. Entertainment? Yps. But the college student is tiring of being portrayed as the original flaming youth. LEGISLATION ! An interesting piece of legislation was recently passed by the state high school athletic association. It decreed that students purposely flunking hours so as to be eligible another semester should not be allowed to participate in athletics the next semester. It is an interesting sample of the typical American custom of trying to cure a situation by declaring that it shall not exist. Legislation has a definite purpose and may often be used to remedy evils. But it is em barrassing to school directors when they are confronted with enforcement of such legislation as this. Determination of whether a student purposely flunked sufficient hours to be eligible another semester is no light task. Whether left to local administration or to a state board of control, its enforcement would be likely to be difficult and often embarrassing. If the state high schools were sincerely desirous of eliminating that type of athlete from interscholastic competition, they could have done so in much more de cisive manner. Limiting participation in high school athletics to students who have not been in high school more than nine or ten semesters as the state might choose, would place a definite standard, easily enforce able, and one which would rarely embarrass those forced to decide questions of eligibility under the rule. Other Columns "VAGABONDING" "Vagabonding" is a term, the origin of which is credited to Harvard, which denotes a growing practice at that university. The term refers to attendance at lectures not included in the student's regular courses. The professors encourage the practice and every morn ing the campus paper prints a list of lectures of the day which are likely to be of general interest. "Vaga bonding" at some institutions would have an entirely different meaning, namely, skipping the lectures which are on the student's regular schedule. But evidently, students are not as bad as they are sometimes made out to be. "Vagabonding" is a practice to be encouraged. Some schedules are so heavy with requirements that the student does not have an opportunity to take cour ses in other departments which might interest him. By hearing valuable lectures he gets a more liberal edu cation, gains a better view of what the university is doing, and occasionally finds that he is better equipped for some other course than the one in which he has plunged as an unoriented freshnan. Nebraska State Journal. AWAY FROM HYPOCRISY The students at the University of Wisconsin got tired of being hypocritical and abandoned their student government. After the government body had met regularly doing nothing, of course, for a time the students got tired of it and decided to be honest. They said that if the faculty was to run the gov ernment under disguise it would be far better to run it openly. Applause for them. Provision is being made by an administrative board for student election and otherwise there will be no cen tral control. Maybe this will result in the doing away with equally important groups on other campuses. V" ma"y P'aces is a he farce the pretenses made by a student governmental body which does nothing but meet periodically. The same situation has been all too true on the campus here for the past few years but some ind'at on of removing this is in sight. within"! r7i Stne"t Senate is an "ePt to do away with the lifeless bodies and provide in their place one utZ?JrJh?

"To that end we plan to study two older civilizations; to understand each separately, and the two in rela tion. "The first year's program is to study Greek civilization in the great period of Athens for whatever light it may give the) American boy on the things he ought to know in order to be liberally educated. "The program is divided into three parts. "In the first 10 weeks we took a general view of the civilization, read ing the literature of the period and historical and geographical works on Greene by moderns, seeking to see the situation as a whole. "The second period, now under way, is being devoted to the study of separate phases of the civilization economics, political science, art, lit erature, law, religion, science and philosophy with specialists in each subject bringing out aspects of Greek life which seem significant; aspects which bear upon the issues of our life and of our activity. "In the third period, which will oc cupy the last 10 weeks of the aca demic year, each student will select some phase of the Greek civilization in which he is especially interested and wiU do thorough individual study upon it, getting up his own lists of readings and writing a paper to summarize his findings." As to the methods of teaching: "Each advisor has a group of 12 stu dents each of whom reports to him for at least one-half hour conference each week at which the two talk over what the student has done during the week. Each advisor meets the entire group once a week." Since it has been found that facul ty members trained in the humanis tic subjects cannot teach science as it should be taught in order to give students a full understantmg; of this vital part of our4 "civilization, Dr. Meiklejohn proposes to have each student in the Experimental college start the study of a laboratory science the second semester of this year. "At the beginning of the next freshman year," he stated, "we snail put the first year students imme diately at the study of science and keep them at it during the whole year." Probation Is Set For Next Week (Continued from Page 1) nity Ball Saturday evening, acccrding to the opinion of fraternity men. There seemed to be a general mis understanding as to the set date, also. The motion concerning probation week which was passed by the Inter fraternity Council at its meeting of March 14 1926 follows: It is moved that (1) The period known as probation week or informal initiation week shall start on the first Thursday after the week of registra tion for the second semester of the school year (2) That it shall not start until 10 o'clock p. m. on that day and shall not last longer than 54 hours thereafter, or until 3 o'clock a. m. on the following Sunday (3) There shall be no exceptions to the foregoing except as passed on and allowed by the executive committee of this council; (4) That no practices or activities of this period shall be carried on outside of the chapter house during the daylight hours, and nothing1 after dark which causes any noise or disturbance to those not con nected with the fraternity; (5) That each fraternity shall submit through its chairman, at least two weeks prior to the commencement of this period, a program of the activities thht such fraternity proposes to follow during the said period, which program must be authorized by the said committee before it can be followed. Book Exchange Has Good Year (Continued from Page 1) cover the cost of operation. The com mission charged did not fully cover the expense of the exchange this year. Some Direct Buying Frequently students make ex changes and find someone waiting to buy books direct from them. These accounts do not enter the books of the exchange and cannot be accurate ly figured in the yearly statistics. Students cannot bring books to the exchange and sell the ovrr the counter. Books brought in are mark ed by the student and left to be sold. When they have been sold the money is refunded to the student who brings in the books. Students, with few ex ceptions, mark their books reasonab ly. The student has the privilege to ask whatever he thinks a fair price for his books. Books on the subjects of educa tion, business administration, and political science are called for more frequently. Only books in demand by students are generally handled by the exchange. The exchange attempts to clear its stock of old books each summer and thus give space to the books which are in demand by the students. The scarcer books, higher mathematics and Engineering, gener ally demand a higher price at the exchange. Students are especially de sirous of buying books from the ex change which would cost them more elsewhere. According to Mr. Hayes, "the real spirit of cooperation applies to the fact that it is a real cooperative en terprise, helping both the seller and the buyer. When there are mre books brought in, we can be of more service to students. There is always a demand for more books than stu dents bring in to us."
