Theta Sigma Phi
THE NEW WOMAN IF ANY
Mary Brian, motion picture star, gets most of her
"fan" mail on fraternity stationary. This in itself is
not so astounding for she is a younger star and this
fact alone might account for her popularity among uni
versity men. When we note the roles that she usually
plays, however, the facts take on a new significance and
seem to blacklist (more effectively than the D. A. R.)
vthe New Woman and to plead for the speedy return
of tthe old fashioned girl.
The New Woman! The New Woman! The older
generation view with alarm tlis new phenomenon ris
ing from the younger ranks. Very short skirts. Very
flat heels. Ultra-bobbed hair. A masculine figure in
masculine wear. And ideas! "My dear! WHAT
ideas!"
But where is the New Woman? We can't find
her on the campus. Look to the steps of Social Sci
enceno, we couldn't expect to find her there look to
the libraries. There are women (men, too, but we
happen to be interested in women today) in great num
ber. Some of them are busy. Some are well, not
so busy. But not a New Woman among them. Look
to the soap box corners? There aren't any.
No wonder the younger generation smiles at the
.consternation displayed by theft- elders. There may
be a few specimens which fit the above description, but
the New Woman who is to be a factor in the future can'
not be told by the clothes she wears. Nor does she
harangue her ideas from the house tops. She is a
vague but none the less real personality working out
possibilities until now undeveloped; a much more rea
sonable person to deal with than "ye olde tyme olde
fashyoned gyrl." m
CONSOLATION
When Noah sailed the ocean blue
He had his troubles, same as you;
For forty days he sailed the Ark
Eefore he fovnd a place to park.
Hardware Age
This is all WE have to say about the parking situa-
itno.
CLASS '08
All hail to the graduates of twenty years ago!
Special honor will be paid them at Round-Up this year
when alumni gather to rededicate their loyalty to Ne
braska.
What hopes have been blasted? What fortunes
made? What famous men come forth to prominence
since that graduation day for in that day students
graudated instead of "being graduated ' from their Al
ma Mater.
Can you visualize the scone? Two hundred and
eighty-one men and women who in their black caps and
gowns closely resembled the seniors who will take their
degrees this year. Doubtless some were activity boys
for campus politics we have always with us. Some of
the women had been the charter members of Sliver
Serpents, a honorary this year gone to its reward. Some
carried away the Phi Beta Kappa scholarship key.
How many of the two hundred and eighty-one will
return? How many have made the name of Nebraska
famous?
WE SUGGEST FRESH PAINT
Drabness may foster genius occasionally, but dis
positions are improved and inspirations come easier
when surroundings are so pleasant that they stir ambi
tion even while they furnish harmony and beauty. The
University Building Fund is pointed for the future, and
the new campus is slowly taking shape, but it will be a
long time before standard women's dormatories are bulit
in accordance with' the general plan of architecture for
the campus.
The present women's dormitories ure effectually
solving a part of the housing problem, but their outward
appearance is discouraging. Prominently clustered as
they are on the very front of the campus they do not
add to a visitor's first impression of a campus already
at a disadvantage with its central building decapitated
to reveal the more intimate workings of the power
house.
Several coats of paint on these faded buildings
would certainly removed the shabby air that clings to
them and which is not in keeping with the pride Nebras
kans feel in their university.

PLAY'S THE THING
Along in the spring of the year the athletic field
east of Social Sciei'ce might be titled "Amusement
Gnliery for University Men." Warm weatlirr brings
the cc-eds oik jh droves to indulge in their conception
of baseball to the unfailing delight of men who gather
to cheer their favorite group on or laugh at the antics
of girls scampering around the bases. Stili it is the
exercise and not the skill that counts, and the men
must be amused.
Women -e just beginning to learn the value of
athletics. They have admired masculine sill for long
enough. Now they are ou for 11 the healthful exer-
:fc and fun o organized riy vhch the men have so
". i.g enjoyed. They ard be.c"rr,'nK to like r. operative
l aj. Already they have show-i indivitual ski;, and
now the aim of the department of phys;.:al education
is to include every girl iu si.pic sort of dlhletio rec
reation, either as part of her school work or as an
iiiu.vidual pleasure.
A championship tenn.s -Tiitch between university
v omen players now draws i in:g gallery. i.e game
is played with the same skill, coolness and sports
manship which we take for granted when men are
competing. Better than the skill and more lasting than
a championship is the good such competition does the
university woman herself; first, towards promoting
her health, and second, towards developing in her a
thorough understanding and appreciation of the value
of sportmanship of being a good lossr as well a? a
good winner.
Ail this has its value outside the realm of sports
for the sporting attitude is reflected more and more
in her it actions to ether interests and problems.
Sensibly enough, women do not pretend to be skill
ful from the start. Better to play first and like it.
Skill wrl come later. "Play is the thing" and good
health a prize which develops out of a steady pro
gram ox athletic nreation.
The Cynic Says:
They admit that every woman wants a man su
perior to herself and then wonder why so few college
women marry.

By Pat Collett
ciation plays an important part in
the lives of co-ed athletes. This
organization was established in 1917,
and since last year has had an office
in the Armory. Round Robin and
elimination tournaments are pon
sored by W. A. A. in the following
sports: hockey, tennis, soccer, bas
ketball, volleyball, indocr and out
door baseball. Points aie also given
in rifling, clogging, bicycling, skat
ing, dancing, and iiding.
In accordance with a new consti
tution adopted in 1925 W. A. A. now
gives only numerals and letters for
points won in these activities. Last
year was the first time that intraneur
al tournaments have been held and
it is planned next year to arrange
them so that points earned in this
way can be counted for W. A. A. a-
wards.
Swimming is tho only phase of ath
letics that is not now available to
the girls. University of Nebraska is
one of tthe very few schools of its
standing und size that does not of
fer this sport. If the development
of this department cumig the next
four years keeps pace with that of
the past four, wiir:r:iiiip champions
will no doubt be soon to take their
place with the others.
It's an old saying that "there's nothing in a name"
but to the book hunter a title can create the fra
grance of sandalwood, the scent of Northern Pine, or
the sharp salty whiff of the sea. The book title may
suggest skyscrapers or sand dunes. If the reader is a
New Yorker he will probably hunt for a ranchy sound
in gtitle but if he is a resident of Boise, Idaho, he will
poke around for subways and white lights in his title.
"The Gentle Art" is the misleading title of a book
by D. C. Calphrop for its essays deal with fishing.
Even an Indiana ditch-digger would enjoy "An
Elegant History of Political Parties" by Samuel Ord
way, Jr. It should have a wide appeal in this year
of election." It is rather a coincidence that both the
Republican and the Democratic parties have edited
books on their party history at the same time.
"Home to Harlem," by the new find among negro
authors, C. McKay, is exciting critics considerably just
now. As the title indicates, it is a story of life in the
Harlem of New York City, and carries allhe glamour
of "Congo." But' there is more than glamour in th
book. Predominate is the feeling of the young negro
who has served as a soldier abroad and who has "come
home." Only in Harlem is he fully received and the
contrast between the status of the negro at home and
abroad is painted with dramatic effect.
"The River Between" is about none other than
the old Hudson River, the dividing line in so many lives.
It tells of Americans, foreigners, New Yorkers, from
the glorious heights of the Palisades to the squalor
and squalid lives on the river front. Its author is
Louis Forginoe and it is put out by the E. P. Dutton
Co.

(Continued from Page 1)
when is it stated that three women
are members of the College of En
gineering, or that ten will soon grad
uate from the College of Medicine.
There are two hundred and sixty
six feminine members in the College
of Agriculture, twenty-five more
girls than men.
Eight hundred and seventeen are
registered in the College of Arts and
Sciences while ninety women have
sought work in the College of Busi
ness Administration. One has decid
ed upon dentistry as a profession.
One hundred and twenty are listed a-
mong the graudate students. Two
women are fitting themselves for the
law profession whil, four are pre
paring for study in the Pre-Law
school.
Though, women in their continual
advancement have invaded every pro
fession, records show there is not a
man registered in the school of Nurs
ing.
Large Number in Pharmacy
Ten women ere among th phnrmn
cists, one hundred and six in the
School of Nursing and five in the
pre-nursing school. Of the two hun
dred and fifity-seven women in the
Teachers college there are fifty-five
more women than men. Four hun
dred and six women are among those
who matriculated in the School of
Fine Arts. Forty-five are registered
in the School of Journalism.
These figures indicate a contrast
1871 when there were only fifty-one
women enrolled in the University at
that time. Only seven were regular
students while the remaining number
were taking preparatory work.
Nebraska claims women students
from Norway and one from Mexico.
There are women representing thirty-eight
states among the registratns,
ranging in age from fifteen to sixty-
four.
If you have dypepsia or auto-intoxication take P.
G. Wodehouse's advice and "Meet Mr. Mulliner." Wode-
house is in his element in this, his latest book. He
pokes fun at "the moderns" and conventions until the
reader pinches himself and says, "That's exactly like
Mrs. So-and-So." If he is very conscientious he may
look around guiltily and whisper, "I do that, myself,
sometimes." Mr. Wodehouse has realized that the best
of people have their faults and made the most of that
fact. You will find the book pleasantly relaxing.
Mary Paxton Keeley, whose first book, "River
Gold," has just come out, is a member of Theta Sigma
rni at the University of Missouri. She is the first wo
man to have graduated from the school of Journal
ism at the University of Missouri, the first school of
journalism to be established.

bute much service on the campus,"
Miss Heppner pointed out.
Since the growth of the campus it
is only natural that girls divide them
selves into groups and their interest
is kept op accordingly. The activi
ties are a much easier way for the
department to stimulate interest
"The Dean then quoted the old say
ing "If you give someone something
to do they become interested."
Physical Education Good
"I can not say too much for the
woman's physical education depart
ment as they are dot s fine piece
of work. Only a few years ago the
physical education waa limited to
floor work. She ves fcarnperad by
her style of dress and could not par
flticipate in the sports we have today.
The girl of today has a new attitude
lcv.xru9 physical education and
t": tLe nine of building tip her
health," the Dean declared.
"I am very much impressed with
the r'rl's activities and their advance
i"z,t. The girl is net limited to a
unreal fhlj but tha can enter
"!o ''.:M in -which she is most in
terested. There is an activity for ev
ery enthusiastic girl," she said.
"This year the University has 2600
girls including the graduate students.
We find them seeking the activities
that will broaden them in later life.
I think that the girl who is partici
pating in the activities in her profes
sion is more loyal to the department
in which she is registered and to the
University," Dean Heppner concluded.

Thin year a special gr!f room has
befeix equipped with a golf net and
all things needed for elementary
classes. In addition to these rooms
there is one that can be used for
lectures.
As short a time ago as when pres
ent haughty seniors were timid fresh
men four part time teachers were
employed to teach 65 hours. The
teaching staff this year is composed
of seven full time teachers techi
ing 287 hours, and representing the
following schools: Central School of
Physical Education, New York City;
University of Nebraska; University of
Wisconsin; Department of Hveiene.
Wellesley College; Royal Gymnastic

New Course Offered
In the field of professional train

could be sure of the accuracy of his
own timepiece and depart in time to
escape the avalanche of reporters who
were etxpected to sweep into the
office" at three o'clock.
At four o'clock it was No Man's
Land indeed. No heavy cloud of
cigarette smoke befouled the at
mosphere, no ashes or burnt matches
on the floor, no shirt-sleeves in
evidence. Instead the air was sweet
with perfume, and coats and gay
scarves were heaped in feminine dis
array upon a table.
Sweet Co-eds in Evidence
No glum, matter-of-fact, bored
reporters were there. In every chair
a sweet co-ed was perched, wrinkling
her nose, pursing her lips, lifting her
carefully arched eyebrows and in
other ways manifesting her hesita
tions as she pocked out her story.
Pauses between pecks were spent
in those absorbing occupations of
chewing a stubby pencil, or dabbiig
needless powder at a dainty tipped-up
nose.
Stray men who wandered into the
office departed in haste when they
discovered that on this day women
reigned supri!in. and that mere men
