STILL A QUESTION
The question of the class honoraries has been dis
posed of. But the faculty committee on student organi
zations still has before it for consideration some sig
nificant recommendations from the Student Council
which were contained in the same petition as that
recommending the abolition of the under-class societies.
Denouncement of rough initiations of honorary
and professional clubs and societies occupied several
paragraphs in the Council's report on honoraries. As
a result of its investigation, the Council recommended
the prohibition of rough initiations for all organiza
tions except those maintaining houses. The latter were
exempted because it was believed that such organiza
tions were already properly supervised by the Inte'r-
fraternity Council.

WHERE SHALL WE PARK?
That is likely to be the plaint of students and
professors driving automobiles to the campus as the
result of the parallel parking ordinance which went
into effect yesterday.
Campus sentiment concerning the ordinance yes
terday was by no means unanimous but the preponder
ance of opinion seemed to be opposed to the regula
tion. Certain it is that the ordinance came as a distinct
surprise to both students and faculty.
Enforcement of the new ruling was attempted yes
terday even before official notice of the city council's
action had been delivered to University officials in
the morning mail. It is rather surprising that the action
came without consultation with University heads and
professors who are intimately concerned with the ques
tion, covering, as it does, an area in which professors
and students are practically the sole persons concerned.
Desirability of the ordinance obviously involves
the question of parking space and traffic safety. Agi
tation concerning student automobiles and recommend
ations that students living near the campus leave their
cars at home had reduced the number of cars around
the campus in the past month so that parking near the
campus was generally possible any time during the
day. The new ordinance will again precipitate the park-,
ing question which was being solved by a sane use
of cars.
Whether it will prove a substantial aid to traffic
safety remains to be seen. In the case of R street
parking, it may help at the corner of Twelfth and R.
The question will still remain as to whether the im
provement will be sufficient to justify the reduction
of parking space.
Parallel parking on sixteenth street seems most
undesirable. Sixteenth street is rapidly becoming a
fraternity and sorority row. As a result cars park in
groups in front of the houses. On week-end evenings
and at any special gatherings, practically the entire
parking space is utilized with diagonal parking. Where
the cars will be put under parallel parking is fully
as serious as the campus parking problem.
Commissioner Bair explains' the regulations on
Sixteenth street as necessary because Sixteenth street
Is a traffic artery. It is a serious question whether this
is desirable. Sixteenth street, as a fraternity and sor
ority center is bound to carry a large proportion of
"short-trip" traffic. Such traffic is undesirable on an
arterial street. Making a speed-way of Sixteenth street
would be much more dangerous to traffic. safety than
the limitation of space caused by diagonal parking.
The only danger on Sixteenth street in the past has
been from the reckless driver. The parallel parking
regulations increase rather than decrease this danger
because they make use of Sixteenth street as a "speed
way" easier. $
The parking problem is not a simple "wave of your
hand" problem. Student and faculty members who ex
pressed themselves as opposed to the regulations yes
terday may find them beneficial. The ordinance should
be given an honest trial But the results should be
considered and analyzed. The ordinance should not be
considered final, either by the University or by the
city, until it has justified itself. If it does not justify
itself, student and faculty protest will undoubtedly
be recognized by the city by removal of the ordinance.
they accomplish a purpose. Securing of house discip
line and drawing together of the neophytes in closer
bonds of friendship and understanding are two of the
advantages claimed for fraternity probations.
It is difficult, however, to see upon what grounds
professional and honorary organizations can base any
sound reason for rough initiation. It consumes but a
few hours. It cannot, therefore, even begin to achieve
the "closer friendship" aim of fraternity probation.
There is no house discipline to be secured. The truth
of the matter is that such initiations are a peculiar
form of brutality which has been able to cling to the
campus, largely through lack of opposition.
Members rather look forward to "getting even".
Prospective members are afraid to mention it for fear,
either of being left out or of being considered cowards.
Most outsiders know nothing of it. And having no per
sonal effect, it does not ordinarily interest the few
outsiders that do know of such initiations.
The surprising thing is that the University has
countenanced the continuance of rough initiations by
clubs and societies on the campus. If any student
should receive a permanent injury or even a temporary
injury at all serious in nature, public opinion in the
state would place the blame squarely on the Univer
sity. The difficulty of maintaining a satisfactory atti
tude towards the University and of securing proper
support for it is difficult enough without giving due
cause for complaint.
If University officials have failed to put the ban
on rough initiations because of fear of strenuous stu
dent disapproval, they have apparently been mistaken
The report of the Student Council was clear and em
phatic that they were undesirable and should be for
bidden. Little if any student comment was aroused by
the recommendations.
A splendid opportunity has been given the faculty
committee on student organizations to put an end to
practices without value or purpose and which at the
same time have a definite danger element, danger to
the students involved and to the reputation of the
University in its care and regulation of the student
body.

the other up town streets.
Decreases Space
"I don't think that it isnecessary,"
was the opinion of Capt. A. D. Fos
ter of the military department. "It
only gives about one-half as much
parking space as diagonal parking,
and I think that there is just as much
need for parking space around the
university campus as there is down
town. Personally I don't like to
park parallel. It's iard to get in and
hard to get out." His big objection
was its waste of parking space. He
admitted that it would probably les
sen the danger of collision in backing
out, but said that he did not consid
er that problem as great as the park
ing problem.

THE WOMAN SHOULD PAY
Word comes from Columbia University in New
York that certain co-eds in that school have rebelled
against the "Dutch treat" system. It see,ms that they
are unwilling to share the expense of ice cream sodas
and the like after a show, but prefer that the gentle
men should foot the entire bill as in the days of chiv
alry. By the law of natural compensation, woman must
relinquish some of hpr former privileges when she
receives right to vote and hold office, and enter the pro
fessions on the same footing with men. Therefore,
she should not complan at the price of a soda or a
cream puff now and then, but should welcome th.3 fur
ther opportunity to assert her independence and dem
onstrate her sincerity in demanding such freedom.
But no, such is not the case. The appeal to the
pocketbook throws an entirely different light on the
matter. This is one angle of the situation which was
overlooked, and its realization spoils the picture of
the unalloyed joy of absolute freedom of women and
the equality of the sexes.
If the women of tomorrow would be independent,
they should be willing to tolerate the lesser evil in
order to enjoy the greater good, and in passing, they,
as the college girls of today, should be willing to share
part of the expense. If they are not willing to do this,
but prefer the privileges and deference of chivalry
instead, they should be willing to pay for this by ac
knowledging the man to be the head of the house.
In the meantime, perhaps a few daughters, and
a few fathers of daughters, will learn something of the
high cost of entertaining to those who happened to be
unfortunate enough to be sons, and the fathers of
sons. Columbia Missourian.

is figured to be anything but an
ea?y game, as the Huskers went
down to defeat at the hands of the
Wildcats in an early season contest
at the Coliseum.
The starting lineup in both games
will probably list "Jug" Brown and
"Dutch" Witte at the forward berths,
"Shorty" Munn at the pivot position,
and Elmer Holm and "Lew" Lew

Lewandowski, has started nearly

"I have a hard time doinz thia Da-

complicated by congestion at the in.

enough to find a place to park with
diagonal parking." His sentiment
was that the parking problem is
greater than the traffic situation,
and that since its widening in 1926,
R street is plenty wide enough to
permit diagonal parking.
Helps Traffic; Not Parking
"It helps the traffic situation but
it doesn't help the parking problem,"
was the sentiment expressed by Mr.
Harper of the office of Student Af
fairs. "I think the traffic problem
is the greater, however, and that the
ordinance is a good thing." In his
opinion, R street should have been
widened enough to permit diagonal
parking in the first place. This
opinion was only personal, he said,
and he didn't want it to be taken to
represent the sentiment of the department.
"It doesn't seem the logical thing
to me," was the statement of F. W.
Norris, Professor of electrical engin
eering, "R street is wide enough.'v
He said that, although he did not
drive a car, he considered the park

but its nature was changed in 1921
to something educational as well,
according to Professor Joseph B.
Burt, chairman of the department of
pharmacy. The first year was given
over more or less as an experiment,
with the aim to give the public a
scientific foundation of pharmacy
and the students some actual ex
perience. The venture proved a suc
cess so it has become firmly estab
lished at this institution.
At the convention of the American
Association of Colleges of Pharmacy
held a year ago last September at
Philadelphia, the committee on Stu
dent and Alumni Activities, of which
Professor Burt was chairman, rec
ommended that pharmacy exhibits
similar to that of the Nebraska Col
lege of Pharmacy, be fostered in the
member colleges as one of the worth
while student activities.
Other School Copy
Thia recommendation was unani
mously adopted by the association
and as a result a number of schools
and colleges of pharmacy have adop
ted such annual exhibits. The Col
lege of Pharmacy of Iowa State Uni
versity includes such an exhibit
among its tivities.
"Pharmacy Week and all that oc
curs is a student problem," asserted
Professor Burt. "They elect their
own chairmen, draw up their own
plans, and develop the ideas. The
faculty merely serves as an advisory
board."
