REPRESENTATION AND BOOSTING
Chugging along through the mud, Cornhusker grid
sters pot the home season under way yesterday,
while fans with long memories recalled the balmy
days of the first pail ol' the week. It was a poor
day for much color and enthusiasm ia the stands.
Hut even so, the Com t'obs, always iu the past
swinging through the stands before the game were
missing. The Daily Nebraskau really didn't Intend
io mention that lack of color. Hut too many stu
dents commented ou It after the game to ignore the
tact. One of the splashes that makes a football
pame a pleasure spectacle rather than a gruesome
business was gone.
Too much credit cannot be given the Corn Cobs
for the step they took Friday afternoon when they
unanimously supported a program for reorganiza
tion of the organization. Students will generously
welcome a pep group that is truly representative of
the university, which will contain in Us ranks, stu
dents from every fraternity and a representative
group from the ranks of non-fraternity students.
Corn Cobs stands today as practically the only cam
pus organization whose standing makes possible a
really representative group. In other words. Corn
Cobs has answered one of the most serious objec
tions to returning the program concession advanced
by the athletic department and others opposed to
vivinK the program sales back to the Cobs.
The Corn Cobs likewise took initial steps towards
removing the other objection recently raised against
i hem, that they failed to respond to calls for aid in
promoting university spirit and for carrying on work
in the service of the university. The Cobs enthusi
astically endorsed the suggestion presented by Stu
dent Council officers that the club function as a
university pep group, tot alone during the fpotball
year but during the remainder of the school year.
Whether their enthusiasm will carry over remains
io be seen. If the attitude of willingness to cooper
ate and to help was as sincere as it appeared Friday,
the Corn Cobs can be counted on for some valuable
work this year.
The Corn Cobs have recognized that their primary
I unci ion Is not the sale of football programs. They
have recognized that they must be representative
properly to develop university spirit. Hut they now
lack any reward for services of inestimable value to
the university, thanks to the removal of the pro
gram sales concession. The concession was by no
means all play. But it gave the Corn Cobs a source
of revenue, which has been used in part in unlvresity
interest, as a measure of recompense for their other
efforts.
Every encouragement should be given the Corn
Cobs ia their present efforts to make the organiza
tion more useful. The chief encouragement thai
could be given would be the return of the program
concession. It is up to the Corn Cobs to play the
game this year, programs or no programs. The Dally
Nebraskau thinks they will. But If the athletic
board is sincere in its belief that there is a place
ior such a university pep group on the campus. The
Daily Nebraska believes that the programs will be
returned to the Corn Cobs with little delay.
GALLI-CURCI
Vaudeville and syncopating orchestras, bo common
of the modern stage, often spoil appreciation for the
work of a great artist. More often is this the case,
when in the lives of young people, premier enter
tainers are seldom available to other than the ma
ture. Admission to a concert appears large, when
i lie purse is not accustomed to having larger than
the price of a movie extracted from iL
Galli-Curci, appearing at the Coliseum, Wednes
day night, for a full concert, affords one of the
opportunities of hearing a renowned singer that Is
too often relinquished In favor of a movie or a social
engagement. The present value that Is attached to
being in a Galli-Curci audience will be much less
than the appraisal that is given an experience of this
character after a few years.
Kenown of Galli-Curci means little or nothing un
less one has been in her audience for an evening.
THE MODEST SCHOONER
Among university publications theie is none that
expresses the spirit of learning of the school more
ably than the Prairie Schooner, which made its 1928
debut on the campus Wednesday.
The great mass of literary productions which are
contributed each season are carefully culled, pared
down and prepared for this magazine. Nothing
which does not have real merit can be found in its
columns. Articles, stories and poems by the best
in the University, In the state of Nebraska, anrkln
other states have found a place anion," its pages.
The superiority of the Prairie Schooner is recog
nized by men of the literary world. Eastern critics
bare given it a place along with nationally read
magazines and best-known eastern publications.
Yet the Schooner appears on the campus with an
air so modest and unassuming that scarcely mar
than a ripple of comment is evidenced.
Furthermore, the publishers expect no outburst of
enthusiasm. A stat'Tent in the magazine makes
only the request that it be allowed to continue its
publication in Its modest way. That is little to aBk
in return for what it gives.
The Prairie SchooneV is far front the most popular
publication on the campus. It Is not meant to be
the most popular publication. Hut on tho basis of
merit, it deserves much more popularity than it now
receives.
THE KAUUHK: Something that never happens:
A lecture that Is as brief and complete as quarterly
examination papers are supposed to be.
This cold weather will be hard on the flies and
collegiate wrecks.
Fraternity freshmen are getting smarter every

full.
Lecturing after the bell is Just as distressing as

of it that way.

"FN MY OPINION
There Are Flaws"
"Many earnest readers," says the
Saturday Review for October 6,
"are asking for standards In litera
ture. Th fault in current criticism,
they say, is that it has no stand
ards by which the bad taste or the
Ignorance of the writers may bfl
corrected. We have ios,t our touch
stones ana no longer test the prod
ucts of creative imagination by the
Good, the Beautiful, and the True."
Stiul.iiiia In KnrllKh 21 and 22
Introduction to English Literature
would hardly agree with this
statement. Neither does the author
of this essav but his disagreement
Is based on a point more funda
men'al. He feels that modern criti
cism is not at fault and says, "It is
the business or criticsm to erect
standards and point to models, but
it Is only part of Its business and
not even the greater part." And
he continues his argument point
ing out that "standards in the ab
stract" grow old and that "the chief
business of criticism Is to search
out the living spirit In literature."
The people who ask for stand
ards merely want someone to tell
them what to think. "It is not the
lack of standards that trouble us,"
he concludes, "it is how to apply
them, not for their own sake but
for the sake of art."

upperclassnien had discovered the fact and per- I '
suaded him to change his course and take something
easier.
This habit of older students interfering with
freshmen's courses is a discreditable one. and one
that often causes regret in later life. Many a cheer
ful soul has entered the university with' the best
intentions of taking really worthwhile subjects
latln, mathematics, chemistry only to be dlscour-1
aged and talked into enroling In lighter work.
The upperclassnien have pood intentions most i
of the time; they are looking out for the grade 1
average of their fraternity, or perhaps hate to see j
the freshman make a low grade in a course. Their j
error is in placiDg the grade above the value re- i
ceived from one's work. It is better to make a'
barely passing grade in a subject from which Ihe
student has gained at least a foundation of some- ;
their sophomore and Junior years.
Half of the fraternities will elect a
man one year and the other half
tho other year so that there will
be an equal number of Juniors and
seniors. A drawing is to be held In
the spring to determine which frat
ernities will elect sophomores next
fall. The ones drawn will remove
their Junior representatives. The
Student Council will choose six
juniors and six sophomores from
the Independent ranks this week.
Next fall six sophomores will be
chosen to replace the Juniors of
this year's group. The council has
the option of increasing the num
ber if the quality and quantity of
non-lraterniiy men so warrants.
Ten junior members may be elec
ted to hold over at the discretion
of the council.
Changes in Personnel,
Addition or a representative from
each of the eleven fraternities
which do not now have men In
Corn Cobs, and twelve non-fraternity
men to he selected by the Stu
dent Council is the major immedi
ate change In the organization. Be
ginning next year, there will be but
one reiesentative in Corn Cobs
from each fraternity, with at least
twelve non-frateriflty men Included
In the pep group's rolls.
There are at present 17 students
in Corn Cobs. The regular number
beginning next fall will be SO with
an option of an Increase to 60 If
it seems advisable. The fifty would
include a representative of each of
the 3S campus fraternities and
twelve non-fraternity students.
In the future, according to the
plan accepted Friday, each frater
nity will elect its own representa
tive to Corn Cobs, subject only to
such class requirements as are fur
nished by the student Council.
Fraternities which do not now have
representatives should choose their
men Monday and notify Jack Kl
Holt, president of Corn Cons, and
ICldreil Larson, president of the Stu
dent Council, of the choice made.
The Student Council has also
been given authority to consider
any case of failure of a Corn Cob
to fulfill his duties satisfactorily.
Complaint may be placed before
the council by any of the officers
of the Corn Cobs, byt the athletic
board or its representatives, or by
a petition hearing the signature of
fifteen members of Corn Cobs.
May Remove on Complaint.
The Student Council mav remove
any member on just complaiut, pro
vided only that In the cpse of a
non-fraternity man. it must choose
a successor and In the case ol a
fraternity man, his fraternity will
be permitted to choose a successor.
This provision was designed to re-

move charges of irresponsibility on
the part of some of the members
of Corn Cobs.
If a non-fraternity man, after se
lection, Joins a fraternity, he will
be permitted to finish out the year
but a successor from the same
class, will be selected to fill his
place the year following.
Along with the reorganization
plan, went provisions tor Corn
Cobs to help in all university func
tions during the year as well as
during the football season. Among
the activities expected from the
club were listed aid in Round-Up
week, Commencement week, state
high BChool gatherings at the Uni
versity, meeting of trains bearing
visiting athletic teams, or other uni
versity visitors, and other services
for university spirit and color at
the call of the Innocents society,
the Student Council, or the athletic
department.
The reorganization plan was pre
sented following the meeting of stu
dent representatives with the ath
letic board Friday noon at the Lin

lug were: Jack Elliott, president of
the Corn Cobs, Barney Allen, chair

DORMANT LIFE
A Vnlversity of 'California professor has revived
life in micro-organisms which have been sealed up
in the everlasting rocks for a hundred, maybe' two
hundred million years. Here's a dormant life tale
with whiskers on It. '
And that seems to settle the hash of that Texas
horned toad story. Not that it discredits the Texas
yarn Indeed It rather lends verisimilitude to the
tale but It makes such a piker of it. What Is a
horned toad sealed up in a cornerstone for 26 or
50 or even 75 years compared with a gob of pri
mordial life imprisoned in solid rock for edns upon
pons of time?
The professor did his best to keep his rocks
from coming In contact with the ubiquitous gerra
life of the present day. And he believes he suo
ceeded because the Infinltesimally small beings
which his special treatment, appears to have coaxed
back to life are totally unlike anything he has ever
seen or heard of in all his scientific career.
Of course there will be doubters who will want
to know how his germs managed to get along with
out food, drink or air. But then there were doubters
of the horned toad story. Dally and nightly Vollva
witnesses the phenomena which demonstrate the
earth's sphericity and blandly answers, " 'Taln't so."
