To the Editor:
Cannot "Rebel's" criticism of student courtesy
be carried a bit further?
Why is it that students persist in congregating
in small groups at the very walk intersections? Is it or
is it not customary and proper when stopping on a
walk for a chat to withdraw to one side? Then too,

FEBDARY ISSUE OF
ALUMNUS RELEASED
IS SCIENCE DOGMATIC?
The charge has been made often in recent months
that science is becomings as dogmatic as religion once
was. In a scientific age, it is a question which should
interest a university student body.
The constant aim of education has been to sup
plant custom and instinct by reason. This rational de
velopment has been premised on the basis of a con
stantly changing conception of all we know or think
we know. Science has been a tremendous factor in this
rational advance. For science to become dogmatic
would be to check one of the strongest aids to rational
advancement that mankind possesses.
It was with this in mind that a Nebraskan reporter
interviewed leading scientists on the University cam
pus. The interviews, of necessity barely scratch the
surface of the question. They do indicate the major
convictions of campus scientists in regard to dogmatism
in their fields. They do furnish a starting ground for
student thought upon a question which has no little
significance in modern philosophical thought.

STILL THE UGLY DUCKLING?
The University's ugly duckling, impersonated by
the Varsity Party question, almost blossomed out into
a beautiful swan this year. An efficient committee was
presenting entertainment and successful dances for the
student body, until it lost its leader.
Some kind of an evil charm seems to keep that
committee from being entirely successful, as was
hoped for by the committee on student organizations
last fall when Varsity Parties were reinstated. With a
new leader at the helm, there should be nothing in the
way of the Varsity Dance committee this spring.
If an executive is chosen who can please the stu
dent body, by next fall Varsity Parties will be such
an entrenched part of University life that fraternities
and sororities will not arbitrarily schedule parties on
those evenings.
Thst many men on this campus could handle the
important position of chairman is admitted, but to find
a man who is not too busy with other activities and
school work to throw hisheart into the work, is a prob
lem. If the Student Council can find such a man, with
the help of an already efficient committee, the chair
man could make Varsity Parties on this campus what
they should be, the most enjoyable social events of the
year.
dents, as consciously ill-mannered or criminally absent
minded and forgetful. Be that as it may, might not one
take another view of the situation?'
Isn't it possible that these so-called discourtesies
may, because of affected agitation, result in a practical
solution of the wbole problem enlarged walks? Isn't
it conceivable that perfect courtesy might defeat itself
by indefinitely postponing the solution of an obviously
growing problem?
What does the average adult do, fix his income
and make his wants conform to it or let his wants
come as they may and strive to make his income cover
them? Which is the more desirable? For the sake of
safety the former appears desirable, while the latter
seems more conducive to progress.
By analogy what is an institution such as the Uni
versity to do when a problem as the above comes into
being? Is it to leave the walks as they areand meet
increased traffic by attempting to instill great courtesy
in the students, which in reality is no solution at all
but merely an attempt at "smoothing over", or is it
to do the practical thing and enlarge the walks?
One can pursue the walks of "0" street, which
ate several times the width of our University walks,
without obtaining that disagreeable feeling of personal
insult because there is room to dodge the groups. And
at the same time the groups can unoffensively pursue
their happiness.
My criticism of student courtesy has changed to a
plea for larger walks.

EDUCATING UP
An interesting movement is being undertaken by
the University of South Dakota. That institution has
announced that "the flaming youth idea of college as a
place of whirlwind social affairs where grown men and
women go to ride around in big cars and have a good
time is due for considerable extinguishment."
The state institution to our north plans to accom
plish these ends by presentation of facts of college
life through the high school of the state it serves.
Such a movement cannot hope to eliminate en
tirely the dream-visions which are constantly being for
mulated concerning university life. But funds expended
in that manner can be an effective aid to bringing stu
dents to college with a sounder realization of what
to expect.
Such efforts should make the problem of readjust
ment for freshmen during the opening weeks of college
much easier. Any success along that line would be a
INDIVIDUAL ADJUSTMENT
Plans advocating the prohibition of'student cars
have been abandoned. The university board of visitors
has been investigating the situation and reports that
enforcement of such a lesUiclion would be an expen
sive an", difficult matter. And it is safe to say that the
prohibition would be unpopular with the student body.
It is good news to hear that such action is unlikely, at
least for a time.
The alleged evils of student cars have been greatly
exaggerated. In fact, the arguments advanced in favor
of their prohibition sometimes seems to be largely mere
rationalization of the desire to curb student freedom.
Many of the conditions blamed on student cars are
really caused by other things and circumstances. There
are too many students in college who are not fitted to
carry on college grade work. There must be more
selection in the preparatory schools; there must be
stricter entrance requirements; so that only those cap
able of doing satisfactory work without having every
activity of their extra-curricular lives regulated by
faculty rules will be admitted.
Such ideas seem opposed to the common gospel
of education for all. They would, of course, cut down
the enrollment of our colleges and universities; but the
cause of education would be furthered. Anyone with
the will to learn can be successful in college in spite of
the alleged handicap of car ownership. Jf the individual
can be distracted and caused to fail by the possession
and use of what is now more commonly regarded as a
necessity rather than a luxury, he belongs in an ag
grandized super-regulated high school, not in a uni
versity. The Daily Cardinal.

Miss Heppner was national president
of Altrusa last year and the year be
fore and will make addresses at these
occasions.
"The program of the convention
this year will be rather different,"
stated Miss Heppner, "because there
will be several talks on 'Methods of
Deaning' by women who have been
giving courses in the work during the
past year."
On Thursday, March 1, a joint ses
sion with the national Pan-Hellenic
congress, which will be meeting at
the same time in Boston, will be held.
Friday, March 2, both groups will go
to Providence for a session at the
new Alumnae Hall at Brows Univer

two days in New York'and will be

and prides himself on his cultivation
of a retentive memory.
"I have no means of knowing, be
yound experience in my own work,
anything about the extent to which
the average individual can remem
ber things about his work. Obviously,
the power of the artist to remember
must be exceptional, his require
ments in that regard are so great,"
says Mr. Polacco.
This operatic genius has proved by
his own career that there is no limit,
so to speak, to the capacity of an
individual to store up knowledge.
During his 'own years of conducting
Mr. Polacco, in countries spread
around the world, has conducted a
minimum of one hundred and fifty
operas, each of which he remembers
as distinctly as a great actor remem
bers the roles in his repertoire. He
is as familiar with at least another
fifty operas familiar, that is, with
the entire score of each work and the
dramatic action involved.
