Equal Representation.
COMMENT in today i Echoes column
fives further evidence to the fact that
not all's well with student activities at the
University of Nebraska. In that department,
Dlseonterted gives vent to his opinion of
quality here, asserting that it "is becoming
more and more of a joke."
To strengthen hi point, Disconcerted cites
the Corn Cobs, one of the most highly regarJed
men's organizations on the campus. Accord
big to this student, not only was a fraternity
deprived of any representation last year, but
from all indications will have a repetition of
th same thing now.
Disconcerted is entirely justified in his de
nunciation of the prevalence of inequality at
this institution as regards student activities.
Th University of Nebraska is state owned,
supported by taxpayers whose children are
privileged to enjoy the same right in the
securing of an education.
AJ the situation stands at present, this most
eheriahed prerogative is beinir imposed upon
and abused to the fullest extent. How can
there be equality of right when full and com
plete representation does not exist in such an
organization as Corn Cobs, supposedly founded
on a representative basis
At a meeting of the pep group last fall, on
Oct. 12, 1928, to be exact, plan were drawn up
for absolute reorganization with the assistance
of the student council. Among other things it
was planned to have at least one member com
from each fraternity, as up to that time the
membership la Corn Cobs was not wholly
representative of social organizations. And
beginning this fall, each fraternity was to have
two representatives, one a junior, an initiated
member, and other a sophomore, a pledge.
Of course, the list of this year's members
published the other day io The Nebraskan was
not complete. The leaders of the organization
attest to that, with the assertion that the full
liirt will be promulgated at a later date afer
all eligibility requirements have been checked.
We eannot say that some fraternity will be
slighted then; we only have to wait in pa
Hence. But it would not be too much to sug
gest that Corn Cob leaders make a careful sur
vey of all fraternities on the campus and see
that equal representation comes from each one.
Know Nebraska!
Nebraska students, after spending twenty
yearn in the state, and receiving a high school
education in Nebraska institutions, often dis
play a really remarkable lack of knowledge of
the affairs of their3 own commonwealth.
In a news familiarity test given last week to
a class composed in the most part of sopho
more students, one answer revealed the sur
prising fact that Arthur J. Weaver was "a
New York business man, and a shrewd stock
market authority." Other answers showed a
like ignoranoe of the more outstanding items
of the day.
Whil the student who gave such an answer
is no doubt an exception, he nevertheless gives
an exaggerated example of a condition that in
all too prevalent. University students, poten
tial voters, and leaders in all phases of activ
ity, lack even the most general knowledge of
the affairs of their own state. Perhaps the
fact that they are so constantly in contact with
Nebraska makes them belittle the really ouV
standing place it holds in the country's
progress.
A new publication that has just appeared
under the name of Nebraska's Own Magazine,
gives some idea of the many unusual features
of the golden rod state known to but few of
its own people. The initial issue, devoted par
ticularly to the Seotts Bluff section of the
state, describes some of the progress being
made in agriculture and in industry. Contrary
to the belief that Nebraska is almost solely an
agricultural state, it shows that articles mat u
factured in the state yearly have a value of
nearly half a billion dollars.
In a multitude of different activities Ne
braska has become a leader and has won for
itself a rank that is worthy of the attention
of its citizens. .Nebraska's rich tradition and
tales of pioneer days make a study of its
progress a romantic one. It's position today
should make its citizens interested enough to
follow its advancement.
"I get the blues when it rains" was never
gang by a freshman drill student.
Some students seem to take university life
as t matter of courses.

Equality Do We Hare It?
To the K.litnr if The NVbrasUn;
l.iili!y t.n NthraAa 'a caii.pj i brroinii g
iimrr ai .1 more of joke, political factions
have had control of the tlrti..fi for mai.)
years but it has been wi:hin the laat two or
three years that they l ave so compi-t ly con
trolled all of th.- tud. i.t activities.
Political parties are not officially rwog u .d
by the ui.ivriity yet every member of every
fratirn.ty and horotitx, and it would i.t W
far amis to say that mat.y inemb.-ra of tin
facultv, are member of one of the two (irk
political parties.
Within the last few ytars a n-w political
party ha come into bcmir la-t spring it
maJe it greatest bid for student office. The
two CJreek faction forgot their diffm-nees
momentarily and united to put down this
fledgling in politics, which they did rather
decisively. Hop' sprang up in the heart of
some that the old fend, whatever it might be,
was over and that fraternal equality would
again reign.
It is to laugh. Recent Corn Cob elections
show the fallacy of thi hope and aspiration.
An organization which is supposedly nonpo
litical, composed of members of fraternities
and barbs, has entered into another year of
cutthroat competilion and as a result Nebras
ka's pp organization becomes another po
litical playthu.g.
One fraternity, which has given Nebraska
some of her finest athletes, was competely ig
nored during the recent election of new mem
bers. Not only that but it was entirely ignored
last year, also. According to the constitution
of the club, each fratenuty is entitled to two
members and the nonfraternity men receive
a comparative number. Due to inability to re
turn to school the acting Corn Cob of the
aforementioned fraternity was unable to at
tend the election. The fraternity was not
called or advised in any way to nominate men
for the vacancies existing.
So it is with all of our prominent offices.
More surprising than the faee that one faction
is entirely out of the running at the present
time is the discovery that only six fraternities
out of the twenty-six organizations aligned
with the other faction, have men in important
offices.
Equality. I chuckle.
DISCONCERTED.

A Defense of Exclusivenett.
To the Editor of The Nebraskan :
An editorial in Sundays paper deprecated
the snobbishness prevalent on Nebraska's cam
pus, and a "Campus Echo" advised sudents
to "sell" themselves to their Mlows, in prepa
ration for the time when they will be obliged
to "sell" themselves to their employers.
To my mind, both of these pieces of ad nee
are unnecessary. The average student already
wastes a good part of his time in consorting
with this person or that, for seasons of policy.
How many people are proof against the temp
tation to stifle their personal inclinations in
order to be seen with a "big" man on the
campus, or a "popular" girll Of course, stu
dent are not alone in this, th same tendency
may be observed in almost any field of Ameri
can life. But that is little excuse for such
hypocrisy.
The humor in the situation lies in the fact
that the group which pursues this policy is
usually the loser. In their feverish attempts
to make friends with' socalled "important"
people, they miss the really valuable contacts
they might have made with lessknown, but
more intelligent individuals.
Tn my opinion, the person who gets most out
of college life is the one who has a few per
haps a score of handpieked friends who are
really worth knowing; who are capable of or
iginal ideas and unbiased opinions. He will be
forced into cotita-t with too many ordinary,
unintelligent, and uninteresting people any
way. And if that be snobbishness, then make the
most of it.

Doing Things.
Syracuse Daily Orange: Henry Ford has
said, "Education oomes to us as the result of
trying to do things. Success is in doing Ihem
in finding out what you can do, and in doing
it right." As college students we are given
things to do, and hence, we are given the op
portunity to take steps toward becoming
educated.
Ta.st experience tells us that there arc two
ways of doing things the right way and the
wrong way. In order that we may be success
ful wc must di-term'me what course of pro
cedure is the light one and then stick to it.
AVe must have confidence in" ourselves, and a
firm belief in our abilities to accomplish what
we set out to do.
Every person can do more than he thinks
he can. Some people think that Ihey know
their limitations, but in reality, they do not.
The experiences of great men such as Edison,
Napoleon and Stevenson have proved that it
is possible to pass through the boundaries that
wc believe arc our limitations.
To a great many of us, the problems that
college present to us seem gigantic. Terhaps
this is because we think they are new. They
are not really new, but are just new combin
ations of old things. If we approach our prob
lems from this point of view we will find that
we are helping ourselves to overcome the limit
ations that we think are ours.
