SHUFFLE ALONG, CYCLOPS !
The "Varsity Drag," known to old friend bromide
as "tripping the light fantastic" may not be much
help in understanding why the Scotch Highlanders
fought the English Instead of the colonists In the
Revolutionary war nor in telling what form j'ai
apercu is of apercevolr. Hut it would be hard to
persuade the average collegian that there was no
place for it in the modern university.
Fraternities and sororities received their initial
impetus, in part at least, because of the belief thai,
social life was part of a well-rounded education.
Kducators commonly recognize that such a form of
recreation may be a beneficial part of the develop
ment program a university is anxious to motivate,
although over-emphasis is not only feared but de
cried. The University of Nebraska lias taken initial
sieps toward the construction of dormitories for the
non-sorority co-eds of the institution. Plans for the
dorms are still in that uermlous state which is best
illustrated by the smoke rising from the pipe of the
reflective dreamer. But while, still nebulous, the
plans are o be more than pipe-dreams.
Students cognizant of the social advantagts
gained by members of sororities and of the ultra
line of distinction which has in some cases been
drawn in this university between members and non
members, welcome the news that dormitories are to
be erected for those not members of social groups.
In the dormitory system they see a chance of giving
those who have been outsiders to the university's
social life some of the same advantages which the
insiders have been able to give themselves, some of
he equality of advantage which a democratic state
university can be expected to give its students.
When the plan is carried out, it is to be hoped
: hat the University will provide more than mere
living quarters for those students who are to occupy
he dormitories. It is to be hoped that adequate
provision for their social life will be made. Spa
cious living rooms, comfortably furnished, should bo
i he objective of the University in its dormitory pro
mam for co-eds. They should be suitable both for
friendly use during the week and for week-end
parties. Such accommodations would do much to re
move the undesirable distinctions often drawn be
tween sorority and non-sorority members and would
give all co-eds equal opportunities for congenial
social life.
THE DANGER SIGNAL
With the termination of the first quarter of the
year, delinquency slips, one of the expected attri
butes of the Quarter finals, are about to be mailed
out.
Two years ago one envelope was sufficient to
carry notice that a student was doing unsatisfactory
work. Last fall, two envelopes carried the message
of warning. Parents of students were informed as
to ihe progress of their son or daughter. This fall,
three envelopes will be used to bear the message
of delinquency. Advisors will receive ' that third
letter bearing the delinquency slip of the student
this year.
Students becomo a bit more chary after receiv
ing a slip, and parents express their feeling in a
letter. That feeling varies of course in severity,
and in sympathy. Aside from this, a delinquency
slip hajs never had any profound influence on the
majority of students. But this year the advisors
receive c. slip.
The contact between the advisor and the stu
dent seldom manifests itseff except for consultation
on registration. Satisfactory work does not neces
sarily call for contact, from the standpoint of super
vision, but the relationship between student and ad
visor ought to be something other than a casual
meeting once a semester. There never has been
an efficient system that took the delinquent stu
dent In band and set him on the road to recovery.
The third delinquency slip may go a long ways to
ward solving (his problem. At least it will be a
danger signal looming up before the one who can
bst help avert the rut the advisor.
STATE SCHOOLS ENDOWED
Scholastirally the University of Nebraska ranks
ell with other schools. Morally It is generally
regarded as worthy of commendation. Financially
ii Is, and apparently has been for some years, below
par in comparison with other institutions.
The state must provide for the urgent needs
of the University in regard to fundamentals. The
ever Increasing need Is for mechanical and Instruc
ilonal Improvements that will make possible a finer
degree of study and education. Charles H. Morrill

"IN MY OPINION
What About the Cobs"
To the Kiditor;
There was a lime when football games were
great student spectacles in which Ihe student body
as well as the men ou the field participated. The
spirit that was generated before the game, as well
as the color and dash lhat was manifested at the
Stadium, was tremendous. A varsity game was a
thrill not easily or readily forgotten.
But the times have changed. Our football games
are becoming, more and more, merely physical
demonstrations on the part of 22 mi i on the field.
The only time that the student stands showed any
appreciable amount of spirit last Saturday was when
they arose in unison and booed the decisions of the
referee.
I think that the suppression of the Corn Cobs
through their loss of the sale of programs at the
Mint-r, It a very serious factor to be taken into con
sideration. It used to be a colorful and welcome
sight to see the Cobs swarming all over the stands
selling programs. That was an essential part of
the game. This function of the Corn Cobs made
them an important part of our campus life.
Now, by virtue of the dictum of the authorities,
we have witnessed a group of women going through
the stands selling the programs. For one thing, I
don't like to see university girls mixing wilh the
vast crowds that the games bring into the Stadium.
And for another thing, they lack the snap that a
group of men add to the general effect and spirit
of the crowd.
The Montana game was a listless game, and I
doubt, whether the Syracuse game was much of an yet with all the advantage of the
Improvement. .Iiidelne from the amount of enthu- Marge remittance they receive we
slasm that Is pervading the campus right now,
I am a bit skeptical of the spirit of Nebraska at
the Missouri game. Our team must go into that
game with a determination to win. to be sure, but
the student body must be equally determined. It's
a game for all of us.
The Corn Cobs should be back in their old posi
tion. 'They should be hack in the stands where
they belong. They should again function as an
integral factor in building up Nebraska's spirit.

seeing more of the real actign but
from the splendid buildings and
vast amount of equipment there Is
no doubt, but that there Is a real
earnestness in the institution on
the part of the faculty and officials.
So many of us laymen arc apt to
lose sight of the part these people
aro to the making of you students
and we should really know them in
a more intimate way other than
the matter of furnishing money to
pay their salaries which no doubt
in 'many cases are not up to what
they should be. I know too that
many of us are complaining of the
high taxes and in some instances
people are blaming the educational
institutions of our slate for using
too much money, I am not one of
that kind, tho I do feel that an im
proper and unqualified member on
the faculty is too high salaried at
half of what he or she is getting
and on the other hand the faculty
member who is delivering the re
turns to the students In an unsel
fish way and has the students wel
fare sincerely at heart, cannot be
paid too much and the Regents of(
the University should not be con
demned for raising the salary of

them.

Till SONG or Till-: PRESS
By Catherine Elizabeth Hanson
The song of the press is a wonderful song
The voice of the hermit, the cry of the throng.
The call of the master, the plea of the slave,
The song of a man from his birth to his grave.
'Tis the song of the great as well as the small.
Touching and sounding the hearts of them all,
A mirror for justice, a death-knell for hate,
A record of progress,' of great and near-great.

chance than the fellow who has lo

working his way through.
Joe you surely should je proud
of your college and the faculty,
with such a noble fellow as Chan
cellor Burnett at the head and the
splendid equipment, these should
give you added energy and aspira
tions to accomplish what you have
started out tor. 1 have always be
lieved that your chosen career is
the greatest that any man can
aspire to and no man stands higher
in his community than a real sln

OTHER EDITORS SAY-
THE NEED OF ADAPTABILITY
Scientific research Is both a blessing and a curse,
in the opinion of Dr. Thomas H. Baker, president of
the Carnegie Institute of Technology.
It Is a blessing, obviously, uht'ii It discovers how
lo make bright dyes out of coal tar, artificial silk
out of cornstalks and rubber out of I be Juice of the j
milkweed. j
Yet these very discoveries Will seem much like
curses to the men who get their living by marketing i
dyes, artificial silk or rubber obtained in more set
tled, expensive wsys.
Kvery Important forward step In technology, as
Dr. Uaker points out, is accomplished at the ex
aense of some industry. The introduction of the
electric light was a blow to the gas Industry. The
Introduction of water is hitting (be coal mine
jwner a severe blow. The development of the auto
mobile ruined the carriage and bicycle manufacturer.
Plainly enough, it. Isn't possible to remedy mat
ters by shutting down on all research work. The
quiet men In laboratories, who sometimes seem to
hold the destinies of whole nations In their hands,
will keep on working; and some people, some in
dustries, will conilnue to suffer as a result
Not all of the producers thus affected will go
under, however. When th? automobile was first
developed there were a great many car ;.-ge and
wagon factories In this country, kome of them
slowly went broke; but few wisely adapted them
selves to the new era and began to make automo
biles. These are prospering; one of them, as It
happens, is the well-known Studebaker company..
Conditions In America have always placed a pre
mium on Just such adaptability. That Is the cas
now more than ever. The business man who would
prosper must keep eternally alert, eternally ready
to fit himself to changing times. There Is r,t room
b' a 11 for the man or firm that cannot he mod
