MYTH TO MUSIC
Hip flasks, bagging corduroys, and profligate
parties have too often been made typical of college
life. The agencies for this prorogation of a false
picture have been many and varied. But the agency
matters noL The picture has been painted, and
that picture has burned itself into the conscience
of many observers.
Crooning orchestras and burdensome hip pock
els have played a chief role In the caricature thai
has been conjured of the modern college student.
Prodigious debts and heartbroken parents have
been but two other attributes that the artist has
dabbed with worn-out brush.
In the audience at the Galli-Curcl concert, Wed
iesday night, there was an appreciable number of
students. One third of the audience was composed
of those who that same day had been in class rooms.
And to think that the blase college student, as
hi has been conjured, would attend a concert of
the character that was presented at the Coliseum
Wednesday night!
Students are not the dirsipating citizens that
they are eo often accused of being. The attendance
t the Galli-Curci concert stands as one valuable
criterion that the American college student is not
fulfilling the prophecy of the blatant magazine and
screenland.
Pleasure-seeking that has been expounded as
ending In disaster, moral and physical, has been
directed to the form which uplifts, enlightens, and
enhances the individual in his appreciation for the
finer things of life. Galli-Curci represented one of
those finer things.
SALTED DOWN
Putting salt on the bird's tail is recalled as t
childhood formula for catching the bird. Chlldhoou
memories likewise bring back the fact that the chiel
difficulty lay In Inability to get near enough to the
bird to put any salt on his tail. Far be it from The
Daily Nebraskan to call Herb Gish, director of inter
collegiate athletics, a bird, except by analogy. In
that light, students have no difficulty approaching
him but he has proven quite ofposed to taking the
saK solution.
In other words, to date, Mr. Gish is unable t
see why the football programs should be returned
to the Corn Cobs. Mr. Gish is willing to make sev
eral admissions he didn't make before his trip
East. Yesterday he admitted that perhaps a mis
lake had been made although reiterating his belief
that the W. A. A. concession should be allowed to
stand.
Attention of Mr. Gi3h was called to the fact
that six months of school followed the last football
season during which time any objections to the
handling of the programs by the Corn Cobs might
well have been voiced. During this time, serious
student consideration of all phases of the subject
could have been considered. Nothing of this nature
was doae. Instead, shortly after school, the decis
ion to make the change was bluntly announced,
without warning, without a chance to sound out
student sentiment on the subject. Mr. Gish admit
ted that in the press of other business, a mistake
had probably been made in not handling the ques
tion earlier.
The iJaily Nebraskan doesn't believe in convic
tion without fair trial. Particularly does it disap
prove of Judgment without trial. Yet this Is exactly
what has happened in the case of the removal of
the program sals concession from the bands of
the Corn Coba. The only chance to try the case
has arisen since the unexpected action of the ath
letic department. Admitting that the athletic de
partment had certain grievances against the Corn
Cobs, The Daily Nebraskan believes they should
Lave had a hearing. The Nebraskan believes they
have been done an injustice. The Nebraskan be
lieves that Mr. Gish and Mr. Selleck should recon
sider their action In the light of the following:
1. The Corn Cobs have been quick to seek to
eliminate their faults when presented to them.
2. The Corn Cobs have adopted a program
making them representative of the entire student
body, one of the chief objections of the athletic de
partment previously.
3. The Corn Cobs have indicated an entire
willingness to make of their organization a truly
university pep group to function the year round.
4. The Corn Cobs have energetically carried on
requests of the Innocents for co-operation in work
on rallies and "Dad's Day." '
6. The Corn Cobs have given the Student
Council power to remove members for cause, re
moving another thief objection previously advanced
by the athletic department.
C. The programs were removed without a
bearing. The work of the Corn Cobs should re
ceive some compensation and the programs offer
a reasonable way of furnishing them compensation
without excess expenditure. '
I attacking the decision of Mr. Gish and Mr.
Eeileck, The Daily Nebraskan in so way wishes to
at Lack their motives. This paper believes that they
weir alacerbly necking to act wisely. The Daf y
' Vclitves they sr:looke slttdeut inner-
frtiB. Th Dtlly Nebraskaa bopeo that with the same
t;h1t of honest endeavor with which they removed
the programs, that they will note the causes which
recommend the return of the program concession,
and act accordingly.
A RUDE AWAKENING
"Sixty-three? I surely did better than that."
Quarterly examination papers for the most part
have been retutned. Grades have been discussed,
perhaps worried over. New students are wondering
if they know what it is all about, and whether they
will be able to pull through.
Quarterly examinations mark that one-fourth of
the semester has passed. One-fourth of the work
has been covered, and the grade counts one-fourth
on the final mark. Older students realize all of
this, and if the grades are low, they know that the
books must be hit harder.
New students, however, are often at a loss as
to what to do If they are delinquent They think
that they have put In all the time possible on that
subject. They thought that they knew the work.
But still they showed up unsatisfactorily.
The only prescription for the student who is
delinquent is to work harder, especially during the
opening weeks, because upon the foundation de
pends the size of the building.
THE UNIVERSE
Arthur S. Kddington, professor of astronomy at
Cambridge university, says in Harpers for October,
"I do not think that the whole purpose of Creation
has been staked on the one planet where we live;
and In the long run we can not deem ourselves the
only race that has been or will be gifted with the
mystery of consciousness." The title of his article
is "Man's Place In the Universe." One gathers
from it that man's place is small, very small.
Students are apt, in the hustle and bustle of
every day affairs, to forget that outside their own
little earth there Is a vast heaven filled with ex
actly what, is not known. Students are apt to forget
that there is more of the earth than their own small
part of It They often have a narrow view of the
other races which inhabit this planet.
Humanity crowds .together in cities, jealousy,
rivalry, dishonesty and immorality spring up. Some
pick out advantageous business sites and say, "This
is mine. Unless I ask .to you to come in with me,
keep off." Nations are like the people which are
their citizens. The same things apply to them In
their struggle for existence and supremacy.
Most of the people of the world like to call
themselves civilized but until they get a sympa- j
thetic viewpoint of their fellow-men, until the earth
becomes a brotherhood of nations, until the carnage
of war and the yellow eyed monster Hatred dis
appears, men cannot call themselves civilized. m
In order to accomplish this one needs only to
look at the heavens and think. A giant universe il
visible. Astronomers tell that a still greater one
is visible with the help of powerful telescopes. When
L
ore tries to appreciate tms incomprehensible ex-1
panse, "Where love and fame to nothingness do
sink," there comes a feeling of being a part of some
great cosmic adventure, some game of the gods.
Then this poison hatred will be purged from man's
mind.
THE RAGGER: In "peeling the orange" it
might be a good plan to remember that some or
anges peel much harder than others.
Driving an automobile wouldn't be so bad if a
fellow got the miles per gallon that fraternity broth
ers who ride to school expect he gets.
Identification cards ought to be made of parch
ment to withstand the hard usage they get when a
fellow checks a book out of the library-
Some co-eds are hoping that cold weather sets
in soon this year. Others don't have a fur coat.
Many a rousing football rally has turned out to
be a riot
The Hoover-Curtis club and the Al Smith club
just can't seem to get together.
Now that quarterly examinations are for the
most part out of the way, delayed social activities
will take on a new life.
It Is considerate of city officials to paint the
curb yellow and reserve parking space for those
students who must take their girls home each noon.
OTHER EDITORS SAY
BOY DEANS AT WISCONSIN
After a year of successful experimenting with
a new departure In the system of deans at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, the administrators will con
tinue the Roe plan of having graduate men students
act as boy duans to freshman students. Five new
administrative assistants to the junior dean have
been appointed by the board of regents.
The innovation was conceived by Prof. F. W.
Roe, formerly Junior clean, and is simply this: pro
vide as advisers to freshmen, young men who have
themselves just graduated, who are sympathetic
with the student viewpoint and with student prob
lems, but who are also capable of performing some
of the administrative functions usually ascribed to
the dean.
Last year the five boy deans assumed not only
the role of adviser to the 120 freshmen assigned
each, but had power to reduce schedules of courses,
to Issue transfers to other courses, to allow the

men consulted with these men much oftener than
they had formerly under the old system. Each
advisee conferred with his administrative adviser
about nine times during the year, excluding registra
tion conferences. More intimate data about the pe
culiar conditions surrounding each student was ob
tained to be used in determining executive actions.
The youth and sympathy of the young advisers won
the confidence and cooperation of the student
Dr. Harry Glicksman, present junior dean, said
In commenting on the plan, "In the eyes of their
freshman charges they were both leaders and com
rades; older, but not much older as to be aloof;
more experienced, but reinforced with fresh exper
iences not unlike tho ? which their advisees were
passing."
The system certainly should 'end to bridge the
gap between ths faculty man and the student which
is fairly wide la a larg state university. Futber-

to college life, warns him of the pitfalls, assists him
