HUMPTY DUMPTY AND THE GREEKS
Old Traders of Mother Goose may remember
thai when Humpty Puniply had the. great fall, all
the. King's horses aud all the king's men couldn't
put Humpty Lunnpty together apaiu.
Nebraska's Interfraternity council is probably
in about the Fame number of pieces as Humpty
Dumrty was, as far as any effective organization
and work Is concerned. Hut there is one big dif
ference between poor Humpty when he had fallen
and the present state of the Interfraternity council.
The Interfraternity council could easily be put
on it3 foot. A few apKressive fraternity lenders,
conscious of fruiertiitv jvnblerrx; to sot the hall roll
ing, and responsible representatives from each group
to back them up, could quickly mak of the Inter
fraternity council a decisive factor for food in the
University.
The Interfraternity council already has the ques
tion of orchestras before it for solution, a problem
which if handled will require no small amount, of
organized effort. The Interfraternity council could
well keep Its attention on the matter of halls for
dances, ill conjunction with the orchestra problem.
Party crashing, which has become a chief evil in
Greek social life could profitably receive attention
of the council.
Rushing is a subject which could always be a
subject for discussion by representath es of Ne
braska's fraternities, as a mode of working toward
more harmonious and more orderly handling of a
system which has received much outside criticism.
Probation ever requires a watchful eye. The lnter
iraternity council could well begin now to build up
a proper probation attitude. Purchasing is a vital
fraternity problem. As a medium for exchange of
i;eas on the problem, if nothing else, the council
could be a help to Greek organizations.
One more significant service lies in the power
of the Interfraternity council. Not only could it be
made an effective force for solving fraternity prob
lems by themselves. It could also be made a valu
able factor in bringing a university consciousness to
Nebraska's organized cliques. Fraternities dominate
Nebraska's activities. They are the center from
which university spirit springs. P.ut they fail far
below the ideal standard in promoting all-university
interests as opposed to special group interests. Help
of the Interfraternity council toward such aims
would be beneficial alike to the fraternities them
selves and to the University as such.
AFTER THE BATTLE
Psychologists would revel in an investiagiion and
study of student conscience this week. All Mages
and all brands of guilty feeling, momentary reverber
ation of hopes and aspirations as examination papers
are distributed, long faces, chapfallen roun.enances.
dispassionate conversation these are the symptoms
of dejection and hopelessness that are follow-ups of
mid-semester examinations.
And at the other extreme is displayed that con
science that feels and knows security from removal
from the University, that conscience which is con- ,
vincing that the gun-fire of mid-semester examina
tions has failed to batter down the mental ramparts
that hate been constructed after eight weeks of
diligent study and application. Between the two
extremes of dejeetedness and absolute security, may
be found the conscience w hich speaks neither secur
ity nor failure.
The depthB of these varying phases of con
sciousness will be unplumbed, but the consequences
of mid-semester examinations will remain to prove
that there were existant these turbulent states of
anxiety.
There will be dismissals from the Tniver.-ity.
How many, no person can Fay. To speculate on
the number who will be absent after another week
would not even be wise. Hut the ranks will be
depleted.
Modern universities no longer produce graduates
by the sausage-mill process and with sausage mill
rapidity. Throngs of students cannot be expected to
be converted Into finished, flawless products, with
out loss or waste. The mechanism simply isn't there
for mass production and for the production that
results in fine, uniform commodities.
The modern university, however, is not serving
in the capacity of an eliminator or a grader for
those students who enroll for instruction. There
is no choice on the part of the university as to who
phall enroll and who shall not. Requirements for
entrance have become so accepted that they no
longer have the strength of requirements.
The elimination is coming from the students
themselves. So vast have been the numbers thai
have flocked toward college campuses that the
standard of university Ftudent mentality and capa
city has been necessarily deployed to the extent
that It suffers. There must be fatalities in college
class rooms, and that rustication which comes at
mid-semester time cannot be labeled as cold, cruel,
and ruthless. Universities have not threatening
portcullis that comes rattling down, and no draw
bridge that Is taken up, at mid semester time.
Perhaps some mirific wave of the wand of good
fortune may reduce the number of fatalities; perhaps
not. Every university must pass through the same
disagreeable experience of dropping students from
the records, yet the students themselves are re
sponsible for the practice.
Work! That Is the oldest and soundest advice.
THE BIGGEST SOAK
The bloti !'!. chief virtue lies In Its ability to
s-'il; llqu' Is until It can absorb no more. When
th's . atui.'.Miui point has been reached the blotter
' Iscardod. Prom the blotter's point of view this
io probably a trifle unjust. He has performed his
work efficiently and quickly. Just when he has
succeeded in soaking up as much ink as It is pos
sil.l? for him to do, he is unceremoniously thrown
away.
One's concern, however, is with himself primar
ily, and perhaps the blotter secondarily. 'Without
stretching the Imagination unduly one Is able to
compare the mind of a student with the aforemen
tioned blotter. Following a period of "cramming"
such as the average student has Just completed ono
cannot blame the mind for getting the viewpoint of
a blotter. It is expected to "soak up" as much ma
terial as possible.
This may be, aud probably is
RELIGION ON

BY HOWARD ROWLAND
Is your religion a life Insurance

Nearly nil of us in our childhood
days camo to know of Santa Claus
as a being who rewarded good
people once each year with lovely
gifts. As we- grew- a little older
either hv reason or by the ma
licious dissertation of some play
mate the Santa Claus hypothesis
was discarded and to each of us
slowly, gradually Christmns has
come to mean the spirit of unsel

Unfortunately, however, the mass of tangled
thoughts and facts with which the student has clut
tered his mind stay with him. They occupy space
in his subconscious mind, but are of no value what
soever. Granted, of course, is the fact Ihat the
student gives his mind a Utile period of rest until
tht! following quarterly.
"Cribbing and cramming" have often been re
ferred to as the two college evils. As a rule It is
thought that the latter term was added more for
euphony than for the import of the word. The dif
ference is not so great as one might expect. In
either case the one who pursues these lines is
cheating himself.
This is, supposedly, an age of efficiency. Ma
terial is tabulated and put away in orderly fashion j
to enhance speed in production. The modern col-
lege student is falling short of this efficiency in his I
matter of study. Instead of packing away knowledge
and facts in an otderly and systematic fashion he
is throwing gnat masses of undigested facts and
theories into the nulling pot he assumes his mind
to be. In a few years the result of this practice
may be evident, and the blotter will laugh long and
loudly up what might be his sleeve.

certain measure for measure bene

Some scientific discoveries are
likely to knock the "props" out of
such conceptions just as the ma
licious playmate in childhood de
stroyed the Santa Claus idea. The
intelligent student isn't going to
sob. "Hoo hoo!, there Isn't any
Santa Claus God:" but he will set
about to reconstruct his concep

will fit the scientific discoveries he
has made In laboratory and in life.

THESE COLLEGIATE MOVIES
Several years ago some scenario writer decided
hat the theater goers were interested in youth, and
especially in college youth. So he wrote a story
about college life. The people flocked to U
office, and so gnat was the success of the picture
that other writers took up the idea.

the Psychology department which
meets alternate Monday afternoons
at 4 o'clock.
The group Includes faculty, grad

thp Department of Sociology spoke
on "The Relation Between Psychol
ogy and Sociology."
Hertiler Gives Talk
In his talk, Professor Herlzler
gave a brief history of the science
of Sociology. He also showed the
connection between Sociology and
Psychology. An Informal discussion
was held after the talk.
A series of meetings are being
planned by the group in which men
from other departments will talk
on the relationship between their
work and Psychology.
Meetings are open to the public
