Thera la a oartaln amount of dirty-apron work
around moat college campuses that baa to be dona
by eom organisation, or by some few Individual!.
On tha NebraakA eampua thla character of work baa
found manireatation In handling ralltea. making
apeerbea. Introducing apeakera, and aponaoring a
banquet or two. Then there are thnae phaaa of
the work that are really commendable, and that
have truly been meritorious.
The atudenta of tha University of Nebraska ought
to coma to the point In passing judgment upon a
man choaan to such a society aa tha Innocents pur
ports to da, an the busla of the qualities that he et
btnits aa a man not as an Individual who has been
nnreed Along like a pampered pup by his fraternity
or hts brother In the bond, and eelected on a basla
that certainly mnst attach great importance to rela
tively minor actlvltlea.
Tha Idea that because a man Is a member of the
Innocenu society be necessarily Is an outstanding
Individual, lily-white In everything that be has done,
wtrthy of everything that has become part of Ma
activity nomenclature, has steeped this campus.
Js'oihlng could be more sickening and more repell
ing than to have an organisation proclaim to the
country that Its members represented the best that
the University of Nebraska had to offer in the way
f men atudenta ho exhibited the desirable quali
ties of "leadership and ability.'' Perhaps there are
a few choeen to tha organisation who can get In
nnder tha wire of such a dual requirement ; the rest
get In by virtue of the mask they have worn for
three and a half years of college, or by virtue of the
bread and-mllk diet that they have been fed upon
pi nee entering school.
Pome time ago, within the last three or four yeara
of the aelections, a small town newspaper. In re
counting the eelectlon of one of its favorite sows to
Oie presidency of the organization, blew off ateam
to tha effect that It was the greatest honor that the
University of Nebraska had to offer its men stu
dents. What it failed to mention was that the In
dividual had been educated in shaking hands and
patting backs, and submitting to the pampering of
those who had already attained the honored poel
tion. Not a word was spoken of the scholarship
and the actual work ihst the individual had done
for there waant anything to say.
Each house likes to have one, coeds like to talk
about their acquaintances who are members of the
Innocent society, but the student and the observer
who balks at taking the sugar-coated pills that are
put out every day of the year, has aense and reason
enough to pass judgment upon an Individual for be
ing a man, and not for wearing a sanctimonioua
robe.
The Iy day poem contest 1s open to all seniors.
Thera 'irould probably be more entrants in the con

Football haa had tha Hem's share of the attention

Once upon a time there was an Instructor who de
cided that his atudenta did rot need to take the
final examinations.
C-A-T SPELLS CAT
Dear Mr. tnivereity:
When I was In grammar school we used to spend
considerable time each day on n.emorising the spell
ing of relatively common words In the English lan
quage. I was Uugbt thst being a good speller was
an Indication of being an Intelligent individual. Cor
rect arrangement of letters to form words, they In
formed me, was an achievement not to be scoffed at
and one that was always associated with those of
more than average mentalities.
Now, Mr. Inlversity, I have graduated from the
educational atages in which one la taught the routine
of learning to spell. I have graduated from that
higher educational era of high school in which one Is
Indirectly given a practice in spelling. I have apent
considerable time In an institution of still higher
learning and am fully impressed that to be Intelligent
one must be capable of apelllng correctly.
Then one morning, 1 pass through thr campus of
that great institution of higher learning and am con
fronted, much to my astonishment, by a sign, sup
poaedly authorised by aald Institution, bearing the
mirth-provoking Inscription, "NO TRESPASING."
Such a display of Intelligence or lack of aame. My,
my, Mr. University, 1 am rather aahamed.
Perhapa you are trying to make up tbat two million
dollar oversight on the psrt of the legislature in
paint. Terha?s the sign writers could not agree on
an extra "S" for the display. In that event. I suggest
arbitration with any English professor aa the concili
ator. If no agreement is reached, then, I suggest the
matter be dropped entirely and the sign removed.
Just thought I'd call your attention to this, shall I
aay outrage, Mr. University?
Respectfully yonrs. JACK NEBRASKA.

An editorial in Sunday's Nebtsa
