On Election Filings,
A reulu1ion wns introduced at the student
t'ouni'il meeting Wednesday proposing tlmt any
Mini, nt flection Mini! lo declared invalid in
which the nanus of randidatcs are published
before the eligibility of those filing has been
determine! nt the dean ' offiee. The council
wisely tabled the resolution until a complete
investigation of the matter could be made.
The manner of conducting student elections
in the past has presented an evil tlmt should
be corrected. A group on the campus decides
to file the name of one of its, member for a
student office or honorary position often wilh.
out the knowledge of the. status of thnt indi
vidual. The nnmis of the candidates are tin n
displayed in the headlines of The Daily No.
brnskan and sometimes in the columns of the
downtown papers.
After the publicity has permeated the cam
pus in pood shape a repo't 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
large display the ineligibility of these candi
dates U then broadcast in the student news
paper. This irresponsible buffeting around of the
names and reputations of students is inexcus
able. When candidates are 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 cau do
belter 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 gtK
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." I

Why All the Pretension?
To the Editor of The Nebraskan :
"Cornhusker spirit at its heigh! Studenl
pep finds an outlet! Huge bonfire rally and
mammoth parade!"
Such astoiinding 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 6pite 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 baeking 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 1he "rah rah"
of the student body the night before the game.
The hifch school student is in that emotional
age Lui what the crowd doea or says affects
bin, but to a university team the game is all
business and every man does bit best regardless-
of whether he is cheered or jeered the
night before and the best team wins.
Tbe rally has other weak points. The fact
that the time spent in rallying milit Mill be
spent in studying i true for many. I'allic
carried oxer into cIum are disturbing, both
to tbe pupil and the teacher. When eunid
far into the night citizen often complain and
NYbiMkka students gel reputation
At recent rallies students bate hsd l be
cautioned LecaiKiC of rerklcss diixing Some
regard it a time to Mcd around madly with
eight or tell ill a car, culling up the drill field
and giving the university a bud name.
Kecrntly rallies have been held ill the
Armory. These cannot he very sueee-sful Io n
considered to attendance. It is plain that
such a small building cannot hold any gniit
majority of the student and consequently only
small uumber appear.
Unless rallies ran be really enthusiastic af
fair brought about by the earnest desire of Hie
entire student body, it would be better to elim
inate the night before the game rallying and
concentrate our efforts upon cheering nt the
game proper.

So Vlace for Such a Song.
' To the Kditor of The Nebraskan:
A new song set to the tunc of ihe old popular
French ditty, "Hinky Dinky Parle Vous" has
invaded the .Wbraska campus within the pint
wetk. The coiiiscit of the words to this
famous bit of music have attcmpt-d to set
.forth the old "fight" spirit of Nebraska in
Mord and music.
In the opening lines the writers liaxc said
and sung with great feeling ami gii-to, "Ne
braska hns to take this game, they must, they
must." In the closing lines they shout with
great glee, "Yesterday, today, tonight, we're
yelling Field, Nebraska Fight" ending up
with the houl-inspiiing. "Nebraska has to take
this gimie."
The identity of the author, of this sung is
nut known to the writer, in fact, it i imma
terial. That The Daily Nabraskan should waste
precious front page apace on such ridiculous
hooey is beyond the comprehension of the
writer.
Heretofore Nebraska has been al
adequate school songs but this fall the
braska "Fight" song was writtm and has
proved successful, if one is to judge by the
reception that it has received.
"There Is No Place Like Nebraska" is sung
the country over as one which is emblematic
of the stale and the school. The "Col hhuski I "
is the official song of the university although
it is sometime suj-erseded by "There Is No
Place." U-U-Uni is an old favorite at pep
rallies and games with an occasional "Hail,
Hail, the (Jang's All Here" thrown in for good
measure.
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. Even the new Ne
braska "fight" song stirs and thrills the heart
of the siuRers and hearers.
To what emotion does the "victory song
appeal? It is hard to imagine that a song sung I
to the tune cl "Hinky Dinky Parlez Vous"j
would elicit any great heart throbs of joy and j
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 "Hinky Dinky Parlez Vous"
ringing through the shell-torn battlefields of
France, but such a tune has no place on the
campus of one of America's leading universi
ties. GR1PO 111.

To the Editor of The Nebraskan :
Thursday's Nebraskan contained an editorial
by Gripo II in which it was declared that ir
rational argument is the only type of argumenl
there is to back "the numerous appeals for
school spirit."
Gripo slates that he spoke slightingly 1o a
Corn Cob concerning Ihe 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 uuM
take him out and give him a ride on the 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 I did not
intend it to be. I thought 6urely no one could
have grown so old in the brief space of nine
teen or twenty yearn as to know what il is to
become thrilled and excited over such a contest
and consequently to show that feeling. Ex
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 's remarks was
illogical. But that 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 out at rallies and
declare that "Students who will not show
spirit, who will not attend rallies, who do not
care how Saturday s game comes out, are noin
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!
Pf.rhaps, 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 bad been tied
the whole way through and then won by Wis
consin in the dying moments of the fourth
quarter, singing "On Wisconsin" a loud and
long as anybody else.
That is school spirit, tent it! Isn't that the
spirit which is exhibited Ly almost any school
at a game! If other schools bave this, why not
Nebraska! And if tbe spirit should be aroused
at a game, why not arouse it a little before the
game around the eampus--in time to do some
food! C W.1L
