On Election Filings.
A resolution was introduced nt t lit; Mudi-ni
council uu-ctiiiK Wcdnesd.r jiroposin that any
student ilcclioii shall ho d eland inviilid in
hich t ho nanus of candidu'es are pultl isln-i
before the eligibility of tlio.se 1'ilintr has been
determined t the dean's office. Tlie council
wisely tabled the resolution until a complete
in estimation of the mutter couM he made.
The manner of conducting student elections
in the past Tins presented an evil that should
he corrected. A proup on Hie cantpu decides
to file the iinino of one of its menihers for n
student office or honorary position often with
out the knowledge of the status of that indi
vidual. The names of the candidates arc then
displayed in the headlines of The laily e
brnsknn and sometimes in the columns of the
downtown papers.
Atter the publicity has permeated the cam
pus in pood shape a report comes from the of
fice of the dean of student affairs that one or
two of the would-be office holders do not pos
sess the proper scholastic qualifications as set
forth in the university rules. With equally
l.irgc display the ineligibility of these candi
dates is then broadcast in the student news
paper. This irresponsible buffeting around of the
names and reputations of students is inexcus
able. When candidates tire declared ineligible
at the dean's office the inference always is
that they are deficient in their academic work.
That is not always the case, and if it is, the
students should not be subjected to heartless
publicity on the matter.
The resolution introduced at the council
meeting, however, does not solve the problem
in the most practical manner. To invalidate
one election and conduct another entails con
siderable difficulty.
Practically all original publicity of student
elections is included in the columns of The
Daily Nebraskan. It seems then that the re
sponsibility lies here and the proper policy will
solve the problem in the easiest and most direct
manner.
Hereafter, under the present editorship, The
Daily Nebraskan will not publish the names of
candidates for any office at a student election
until the dean of student affairs has declared
the candidates eligible. To insure a continu
ance of that policy we suggest that the student
council appeal to the publication board for a
ruling to that effect.
Smile It Helps!
A professor at the University of Nebraska,
instructor in one of the largest classes from the
standpoint of enrollment, has formed the prac
tice of interrupting the class during an exam
ination. He then says, in effect :
"Smile! Don't be so serious; you can do
better work if you smile."
Then follows a general brightening up of
faces which a moment before bore evidence of
deep, serious, and even troubled, thought.
This attitude helps the student. It shows
him that the test isn't, after all, a life and death
matter; it helps his unconsciously, for he gets
his bearings; it serves to encourage him, for he
sees that the professor is "a regular fellow."
The one-time happy, smiling and grinning
school boy has become a thing of the past, sup
planted by a serious, deep-thinking young man
in college. But the one is as desirable as the
other, for it encourages, in saying: "Smile!
Don't be so serious and you can do better
work."

Echoes of the Campus.
Why All the Pretension?
To the Editor of The Nebraskan :
"Cornhusker spirit at its height I Stndmit
pep finds an outlet! Huge bonfire rally and
mammoth parade!"
Such astounding captions strive to arouse
student enthusiasm. Why all this pretension?
Rallies are going out of style this has been
made evident at recent rallying. Students will
not be aroused in spite of the serious endeavor
of pep organizations to stir them.
Like most arguments the rally question has
two sides. The main issue in favor of the rally
is the idea that the team needs the backing and
inspiration of the student body. There must
be something in this statement for the coaches
and the squad themselves back it.
On the other hand, there are so many facts
which seem to prove that rallying is superfi
cial and worthless. One is inclined to believe
that Nebraska will eventually follow in the
lead of various eastern colleges and do away
with rallying altogether.
High school teams may need the "rah rah"
of the student body the night before the game.
The high school student is in that emotional
age when what the crowd does or says affects
him, but to a university team the game is all
business and every man does his best regard
less of whether he is cheered or jeered the
night before and the best team wins.
The rally has other weak points. The fact
that (he time spent in rallying might will be
npiiit in ktud.Miig In true for inniij, K.illus
carried over into Clausen are disturbing, both
to the pupil and the tritrlii r. Winn rallied
Inr into the ni-lit citizen often complain and
Nebraska students net n bad reputation.
At recent rallies Mtudciita have had to In
cautioned because of reckless drivinjr Some
regard it a time to speed around madly ih
t ight or ten in a car, rutting up the drill field
and giving the university a bad name.
Kccently rallicn have been lie). I in the
Armory. These cannot be very successful v hen
considered as to attendance. It is plain that
such n small building cannot hold any great
majority of the students and consequent l, only
a hiuull number appear.
Utiles rallies can be really enthusiastic af
fairs brought about by the earnest desire of the
entire student body, it would be better to elim
inate the night before the game rallying and
concentrate our efforts upon cheering at the
game proper. I. t '

the
,o I'lacc for Such a Song.
To the Kditor of The Nebraskan:
A new song set to the tunc of the old popuUr
1'ieiieh ditty, "II. uky Dinky Parle Voiis" has
invaded the Nebraska campus within the past
week. The coinloseis of the words to this
famous bit of mnsic have attempted In si t
forth the old "fmht stunt of .Nebraska in
ords and music.
In the opening lines the writers have said
and sun'' with irrt at fcelinu ami L'usto. "Ne
braska has to take this game, they must, they
must." In the closing lines they si. out with
great glee, "Yesterday, today, tonight, we're
yelling 'I'iuht. Nebraska right" ending up
with the soul-inspiring, "Nebraska has to take
this game."
Tin- identity of the authors of this song is
not known to the writer, in fact, it is imma
terial. That The Daily Nubraskan should waste
precious front page space on such ridiculous
hooey is bevond the coinprth-nsion of the
writer.
Heretofore Nebraska has been at loss
adequate school songs but this fall the
braska "Tight" song was written and
nroved successful, if one is to judge by
reception that it has received.
"There Is No Place Like Nebraska" is sung
the country over as one which is emblematic
of the state' and the school. The "Cornhusker"
is the official song of the university alt hough
it is sometime superseded by '"I here Is .No
Place." U-U-Uni is an old favorite at pep
rallies and games with an occasional "Hail,
Hail, the Gang's All Here" thrown in for good
m en sure.
These songs are more or less inspiring to the
singers and hearers. "The Cornhusker." when
sung properly, makes a Nebraska student feel
proud of the school which he calls his alma
mater. "There Is No Place Like Nebraska"
inspires students and faculty with the senti
ments expressed therein. Kveii the new Ne
braska "fight" song stirs and thrills the heart
of the singers and hearers.
To what emotion does the "victory" song
appeal? It is hard to imagine that a song sung
to the tune of "Hinky Dinky Parlez Yous"
would elicit any great heart throbs of joy and
gladness. In fact, it is not improbable that the
great number of students would sing the orig
inal obscene words of the song.
The American soldiers might have thrilled
at the sound of "Ilinky Dinky Parlez Yous"
ringing through the shell-torn battlefields of
France, but such a tunc has no place on the
campus of one of America's leading universi
ties. Gil IPO III.

Something to Think About.
To the Editor of The Nebraskan:
Thursday's Nebraskan contained an editorial
by Gripo il in which it was declared that ir
rational argument is the only type of argument
there is to back "the numerous appeals for
school spirit."
Gripo states that he spoke slightingly to a
Corn Cob concerning the attempt being made
to arouse spirit for the K-Aggie game Satur
day. He then gives the Corn Cob's reply as
being to the effect that said Corn Cob would
take him out and give him a ride on 1he pro
verbial rail that tar and feathers would be
profusely applied to his body because of his
attitude toward school spirit and the game.
I admit that reply was not logical 1 did not
intend it to be. I thought surely no one could
have grown so old in the brief space of nine
teen or twenty years as to know what it. is to
become thrilled and exeiled over such n emit est
and consequently to show that feeling. Kx
uberance of feeling is part of youth's heritage.
It must have an outlet. What more natural
outlet, then, than student rallies?
Of course, the reply to Gripo 'a remarks was
1 Rut Hint, does not mean there is no !
argument against lack of school support. The
discussion between Gripo and myself was
merely a few minute's talk before the begin
ning of a class. 1 had no idea Gripo would
attempt to use those few careless, laughingly
spoken remarks as a neditorial an argument
against the logic of supporting school spirit.
If there is nothing to school spirit why do
men like Coach Schulte get otit at rallies and
declare that "Students who will not show
spirit, who will not attend rallies, who do not
care how Saturday's game conies out, are noth
ing but sissies and fatheads and belong in an
old people's home rather than here in school?"
Why has Pittsburgh university in the blase
East taken up rallying since their last two visits
to Nebraska if there is nothing in it!
Perhaps, as Gripo points out, the writer of
an editorial in a 'Wisconsin paper does think
school spirit is "vague, irrational sentiment."
But I'll bet the writer of that editorial would
get out to a football game and throw his hat
as high as anybody's when Wisconsin scored
the winning touchdown of a championship game
in the last minute of play. I can imagine him
after the close of a game which had been tiedl
the whole way through and then won by Wis
consin in the dying moments of the fourth
quarter, singing "On "Wisconsin" as loud and
long as anybody else.
That is school spirit, isn't it? Isn't that the
spirit which is exhibited by almost any school
at a game? If other schools have this, why not
Nebraska! And if the spirit should be aroused
at a game, why not arouse it a little before the
game around the campus in time to do some
good! C. W.M.
