Two years ago, a bill patterned along the same identical lines, per ished In the legislature grist mill. Opposition to the deferred pledging bill prompted not because of the relative merits of first year pledging iu fraternities and sororities. The ad viability of compelling freshmen students coming to the University to remain outside the bonds of Greek-letter organizations for a year before affilia tion, was overshadowed by the fact that there exist no adequate dormitory facilities for freshman stu dents. While it has been pointed out that the number of freshmen thrown out to seek rooms in Lincoln, if denied the privilege of Joining fraternities and sororities, la comparatively small compared with the total number of first-year registrants, It remain that these four hundred would simply add to the multitude forced to depend upon Lincoln roomln? house facilities. The problem of housing University students would become even more complicated and deplorable than It is at the present time. The deffered pledging bill would have been a boon to home owners who depend upon the student influx, in that they would be encouraged to boost the price of room. Desirable quarters would thus be at a premium for the non-resident student, and far beyond the reach of the average budget. The problem of widening the breach between the Uni versity administrative offices and the individual stu dent was also interwoven In the lc;,1slatioa to pro hibit first year pledging. Fraternities and sororities are dM. unalterably opposed to a deferred pledging plan. 1 1 fact, if sen timent wt properly fathomed, r1 Founding were made among the men and women of fraternity groups who are fraternity-conscious and willing to listen to reason, a deferred pledging plan would probably meet with approval. At the present time, however, the issue hovered about the advisability of forcing deferred pledging down the throats of fra ternities and sororities before they were prepared for it, and before the development of a dormitory system was assured. Undeniably, however, there was a feeling that the defeated measure was fired point blank at the whole fraternity system. a a Interest of the state legislature in the matters of student life on the University of Nebraska eampus has been commendable. There is nothing more de sirable than to understand that a state's citisenry are interested and informed concerning campus con ditions. But there is always the possibility of mis interpretation of the student attitude and behavior. Too often particular cases of misconduct and mis demeanor are accepted as general campus-wide con dition. Hesitancy of student organisations to rem edy their own situations is looked upon with ask' ance, with little thought that there is a process of education to be undergone before a thing can be scuttled. it has taken yean to build the University of Nebraska, and will take years to continue the con struction. To attempt to right a problem as deep seated and a consequential aa deferred-pledging by state legislation, when there are no dormitories, would have been a step backward!. Those ten men elected to Pershing Rifles have one consolatloa at least In regard to the Informal initiation announced for tonight they won't have to wear old clothes. KNOWING THE TRUTH .Charging the University with sponsoring a so cialistic policy, a Havelock taxpayer sets forth In the "Publlo Forum" column 'of a downtown news paper hla views regarding the dispensing of free fedical service to students of the University. "No on doubts the advisability of maintaining a ftnt aid station on the campus," he writes, "but there Is considerable difference In the maintenance of a free first aid station and a free university hos pital of twenty or thirty beds. In addition to the free university hospital, it la te be inferred that other free medical service has been provided." nMceda to auote several ti vf" r statements made by Dr. R. A. Lyman, who nas charge of the hospital or Infirmary, aa it has come ta be known, which appeared la e recent Issue of The Pally Nebnukan. The writer makes the as sumption from the deans' remarks that the "free hospital and free medical aeprlee are made passible at least to a Urge extent by the appropriation of ike legislature- Jor unJver.lty malnUnaoee." e a If tttjs" be true, be argues, why ot have the legislature appropriate money for numewie other tilnri. too, so that university students caa get an education for Ilttl. or nothing In the way of pen.es? It li on these grounds that he bas his charge agalnat the University. The appropriation charge Is emphatically denied br Xan Lyman In a public statement appaarlsgln Mother colfmn of this !..ue cf Tb.

OTHER laipayais' money Is not used for this purpose, cording to the dean, who points out that the expenae of the Infirmary and other medical service la en by the students themselvesthrough , fees at the time of registration j always been questions or inia tnar- MMrMo. ith university affairs w. ...... continue to be similar questions aa lung as the Institution Is state supported. The publlo cannot be denied Its right to knew the untainted and "unielgned truth concerning the University and U therefore Justified In advancing any criticisms which It sees fit. A Utile explanation, however, similar to that offered by Doctor Lyman In thla particular case, does much to steer the public on the right track and at the same time eliminating misinterpretations. Looking over the list of Farmers Fair commit tees, one wonders w hy the whole thing wssn't con solidated under one heading "the committee of the whole." WORDS TO THE WISE First quarterly examinations are scheduled for the ensuing week. There Is nothing new about that. Some students are known to take first quarterly laminations rather Indifferently and eapedally the tens given the first quarter of the aecond semester. Most students feel that they have successfully estab lished themselves the first semester and can ride through for a while on their past reputations. What a mistake! These students will likely be csught napping and before they realize it they will be far behlml and finally be burdened with extension reviews to regain their lost reputations. It has been found that the second semester fur nished more distractions from study than does the first. In a few weeks spring will be reigning fully and there Is nothing quite so hard for studying to combat as warm, balmy weather. It furnishes many puMerfiieo to the atitrlenf, helr1e enemirarlng general attitude of contented latlness. All these things should be considered and should students be tempted to "let up" on their work they should look ahead. Now is the time to be gaining momentum. Stuffing now is only a forerunner of a hopeless chaos of back work. It must be reckoned with sometime. No excuse for coeda going without lunch the V. W. has announced free coffee, tea and hot chocolate. The Fram committee has secured a Chicago orchestra fur the final formal of the season. It will be Just as veil vlth the dancers If the machine gun are left at home. A fellow flying from New York to San Fran cisco wore a raccoon coat. It Is gratifying to know that a raccoon coat is good for something. A student could go to school for half a semes ter before he found out whether he needs any more education or not. But grade card come out even tually . doesn't mean time to spare during STUDENTS SAY THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE So often do we hear people make the remark about the wrong man being placed in an office, and so often is it demonstrated In our public office-holders, that when, as the title suggests, the contrary is found some comment Is warranted. The position in question la a particularly trying ons to its holder aa be la required to punish and at the same time re main and. If possible, retain the friendship and re spect of the punished. The office is that of dean of student affairs. There are but few of us, even though possessing a clear conscience, that on receiving a request to see the dean in his office, do not experience a sink ing feeling. Vet after the appointment or visit (for that is what it becomes) there is not one, whether guilty of some mistake or not, that does not feel that here Is the right man in the right plaee. He feels that his case will not only be considered fairly, for that Is his right, but that It will also be consid ered from the standpoint of a student by one who is Interested In the student's welfare. It is this happy combination, so rarely found, that enables the student to leave Dean T. J. Thomp son's office feeling that here Is a friend who take! personal Interest In him. Aa long as student affairs are placed In the hands of such men as Dean Thomp son the students can be assured of not only a fair and Impartial view of their trouble, but also of a friend whenever needed. A . STUDENT. Wonder how many students knew what's taking place next Monday. ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW QUEEN OR POLITICS? Another year has rolled around, another Junior Trom la in the making, another orchestra has been engaged and another committee freu and bothers all of the campus hoping to make the annual danee an annual success. Another election approachee, another series of dampue political maneuvers la la the effing, new student politicians are beginning to pull the strings and set the bait and another Queen rill be selected when the smoke blowa away. What kind of Queen will she be? Will she be beautiful and attractive, popular, prominent on the campus, a sorority lealer, every man's girl or the "spouse" of any certain male political leader, a good dancer or one with a good bank account? Since the Junior Prom was instituted, all these types of "queens" have been honored. Sometimes the honor has been merited, and other times the dis tinction of being Prom Queen has been questionable. In many eases bad polities and underhand methods, such aa are a blot on the name of a university, ha to "darkened" the winning candidate so that even the danee Itself was a flat failure. The committee owes It to Itself to make tbe Prota Queen selection entirely above board. Every possible safeguard could not make It a clean cam paign If those who are vitally interested do not so wish. There la little honor, however, In being a Prom Queen if tbe (election la made through fraud or even pcutlcfcl stress. And o, another year, another dance, all may bring new twists In campus polities, something dif ferent In political campaigns aid the choosing of an excellent Prom Queen wits all the qualities she should have. The most Important quality ) that she be elected because of her beauty, popularity and merits of character alone. Indiana Daily Student. THE DAILY NEBRASKAN A STUDENT LOOKS AT PUBLIC AFFAIRS By David Fellman President-elect Hoover la now i busily engaged in v, .an.iiKiy.. . . . . . i.k the Important last of rounding out his cabinet appointments, it is re ported that he has already definite ly filled seven of the ua positions. The positions still open are those of the departments of labor and agriculture and the attorney gen erslshlp. Senator ltorah of Mnho, Mr. Hoover's greatest campaigner, refused the attorneygoneralshlp, on the ground that he can do more for his country and his party by re maining In the senate. Mr. Hoover Is especially cautious with hla ap pointments to the labor and agri culture posts, as ho warns to ap point itiun to those position who will hplp to solidify popular senti ment In favor of tbe republican Dam. With a popular labor leader and a popular farm leader In the cabinet, Mr. Hoovers position win be inestimably moM secure. The house of represents'ives Is con sistently refusing to approve the senate's special appropriation of 124.000,000 for the further enforce ment of the dry law. The senate's appropriation Is an unurual one In that It puts $24,000,000 Ht the dis posal of the president, to be used by him, at hi dlsrreatlon. In the enforcement of the Volstead Act. The republicans In the house are blocking every attempt to raise the regular appropriation for enforce ment, which amounts to J2.727.000.

The new Nationalist government of China, which seems to have finally established some semblance finally established some semblance of order in that troubled country, is at present facing Its first test of power. Its authority is bislng chal lenged by s separatist revolt in Shantung, where certain military leaders are attempting to establish an independent zone. It is reported that the natioalUt government has the situation wfJl in hand. Elaborate provisions are being made for the Inaugural of President-elect Hoover on March 4. There will be a nation-wide hook up of radio stations so that tbe whole country will he able to hear tne inaugural address. Those who are so fortunate as to possess a television outfit and there are about 20,000 of them In the country may be ble to actually see the ceremony, as well as hear the words uttered there. The Inaugura tion of the vice-president, Charles Curtis, will be broadcast right from the senste chamber. It will be the first time that a microphone has been put lu the chamber of the United States Senate. The fight betweon the Stewart and Rockefeller Interests for the control of the Standard Oil Com pany of Indiana goes merrily on. The Rockefeller family and in terests are out to unseat Colonel Stewart from the presidency of me company, it Is reported bv those who seem to know the facts that the Rockefeller stoud has a! ready secured over fifty perrent of the proxies and that Colonel Stewart will go on March 7, when the board meets.

However, the disap pointing spring weather tang its siren song lu my good ear and I left books to bo reviewed another day, whtllng away the time with such highbrow literature aa True Story and Pep.

First of note, for thoBe Inter ested In the sports side of Journal Ism, William Henry Nugent has written an enlightening article on "The Sports Section." He deals mainly with the rise of the section from obscure notices to pages with editors In charge. And also with the lingo the page has produced that Is. the glossary of words whicn we may call slang If we will, but which arc indispensable to the page. He gives their origins and various con notations. It is good reading. And allow this quote: "When I consider Hie amount i Mee glveu over to sports my intelligence Is offended, but my editorial Judgment supports it." William P. BeateH, assistant managing editor of the New York World. George Jean Nathan, in his Clin ical Notes, writes a pungent word or wet on Radicalism In America. The chief point he makes Is the fact that radicals are nit-wits in this country, the European radicals far surpassing them. The English, French, Russian or Italian radical commands respect even in quarters where his doctrines prove distaste ful. But Gompers and Debs, Na than argues, had nothing but a gift for soap-box oratory. "The pro- foundest thing the rank and file of American radical masterminds have been ablo, with concentrated effort, to think up to say against American capital In the whole last thirty years is that the late J. Pler- pont Morgan had a red nose and a mash on an actress..' And I also notice that as a pro phet, I'm not so bad. Several months ago, when I reviewed Mld- dletown, I made a guess that H. L. Mencken would pounce upon It and hold It up w.th loud cries of appro bation, for It is the type of book that is meat for such as Mencken and Sinclair Lewis. Mlddletown i reviewed by Mencken aud he urges It onto every reader' In America chiefly because it has more to do with the Babbitts, and Main Streets. Seems to me, tho, that Main Street and Babbitt did enough; let's forget it. Last week, in this column, I sug gested that Nebraska might have a "Type." Sevoral students talked it over in a coff?e-shop afterwards. Tbe opinion seems to be that Ne braska does have a type, but its peculiarities are somewhat vague. One argued that the truly represen tative Nebraska type Is an athletic worshiper, more so than other col leges, both east and west. Another expressed the belief that our type is the rough-and-ready, sheep-skin-coated, corn-fed barbarian. I can't agree with the latter; It smacks too much of the prejudiced Ideas of the so-called Intelligentzia. But what are we marked by? Snobbish ness? Indifference? Spontaneity? Shallowness? Enthusiasm? It's rather difficult to find out unless one gets an unprejudiced, calm, analytical view. What Impresses the outsider?

Having at tended eastern schools and there fore not speaking for a snobbish effect, he stated that Nebraska stu dents, in comparison with eastern students, are extremely lacking lu culture, finesse, "smoothness." He believes that tbe Nebraska stu dents arc crude, with their corners still rough and sharp. Literal minded, he said; materialistic, un read, uneducated when we gradu ate. The eastern student Is pol ished, he slated, with widely vary ing Interests in literature, polities, the arts, et cetera, without being intellectual snobs. Rather strong. I suppose, and yet others have said the same thing. Something to think about, at least. Yesterday I r6ad an article deal ing with the civilizing of the West. The range is gone, the cowboy has vanished, roads are made of gravel, schools have sprung up, and the Indian, tbe fierce, liberty-loving, war-like Sioux, has gone the trail of the setting sun. Today I read a news clipping, to wit: "Amos White, & Sioux Indian, bit off the end of his wife's nose so she would be less attractive to other Indian men. Today he was sentenced to two years and eight months In the State Penitentiary." (South Dako ta.) More proof that the West Is gone.
