SANOAHL EDITOK-INCHICF J. M. PITZER BUIINCtl MANAGER 'Fully Fifty Juniors: A thirtl ytar student lit the I'liivf rfcity f Nrbraskd, going under the pseudonym of "A Hnrb .Tnninr," at this time tries to tell The Nebraskan editor that the latter didn't realize what he was saj ing when he came out with the statement that juniors an afraid they won't make the grade and become "campus lender" next year. Also be attempts to show the ful Iney of the assertion that these name students arc poRSijised with a narrow point of view. The underlying cause of all this wa an editorial which appeared in The Daily NYl-ran-kan on Tuesday, Nov. 10, wherein the junior students of this university Mere told not to worry about making the two senior honorary some-ties the Innocents and the Mortar Hoards next Ivy day, when the "touching" ceremo nies are scheduled to take place. Apparently our good friend, the said non organization man, took us to mean that all jnniors are that way. However, he has let himself be subjected to slight misinterpreta tion of the real meaning. The portion of the above mentioned editorial reprinted here should aid him in dispelling that notion: "We are not digressing far from the truth when we state that at the present moment fully fifty members of this year's junior class are unconsciously doing that very thing." Only one squint at the foregoing should i,how our contributor that he missed the point when he read the article. The extent of our position on the matter is stated there, so how can one get the idea that all juniors are that way! Of course, The Nebraskan could have conducted a "more thorough investiga tion" and give the number of sufferers in pre cise terms, but, pray tell us, how accomplish such a task? Should we have gone out and counted themT No, indeed; It seems entirely feasible to place the limit they way we have done "fully fifty members." Then we can rest easy and feel gratified that we included by a "very, very small percentage of the junior class. The Nebraskan doesn't doubt that "nine out of ten . . . are preparing themselves for soe line of work and are putting forth every effort to accomplish their aims." It is the "tenth" person to which the editorial was ad dressed the fellow who is seeking honors. The writer of the editorial realized that the majority of the juniors were sensible enough to have higher ideals and therefore put in that cntchy little phrase "fully fifty members." What "A Harb Junior" brings out about the barbs not having a chance to enter the heavenly gates of both senior honoraries is only partially true. An investigation of the Mortar Board panel in the Cornhusker for any number of years back will prove to him that h is wrong RS far as that organization goes. Barb and Greek alike are accorded that honor there are no lines drawn in this respect the (salifications of scholarship, leadership, and service to the 6chool being placed above everything else. But a similar investigation of the Inno c-entH page in former issues of the Cornhusker will show him that he waa absolutely correct In saying that the men's organization is "made up chiefly of members of Greek orgnlrations" and that no one has a look in "unless he has the 'pull.' " It is common knowledge among presont day student leaders as well as those of former days that on. two occasions in the past at least, third year men who are not affiliated with any social, or to be more exact, political fraternity found it necessary to become "join ers" before they could be knocked to th dust of the earth in late May. And this is one of the most undesirable ele ments in this "honor bestowing" occupation. "When any kind of organization takes on that hue or shade of color it immediately ceases to be "honorary" and that same time fails to command the respect and backing of the entire student body. The result can be no different for how can any intelligent human being see any glory in getting a thing under false pre tensions! And, too, how can anyone have con fidence In an organization which perpetuates itself that way I We are glad this particular student took It upon himself to seek the truth about the matter. WTe are not infallible nor are we al ways able to make our declarations in as clear and concise manner a possible. Perhaps it was because the specific point was "buried" in the sentence that the nonfraternity man did not see it. . At any rate Mr. Barb Junior presents his case in a commendable manner. He seems to have sensed what some of th" fraternity conscious individuals have not been able to feel the idiocy of becoming excited over some thing that isnt going to do them any good in afUr liffc. The Augtcan 7s Cone. Another student "pet" thrown to the rooks! By action of the student publication board Monday afternoon, the Awgwan, humor cm magazine sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi, rational professional journalistic fraternity, no longer exist. The reason for the move, as stated by the chairman of the board, was that the publication "serves no useful purpose in the university. But there waa a more direct cause for the drastic action the November number. In eluded in the pages of this recent issue. ,as brought out by a Sigma Delta Chi resolution. wai "material far below the standard and ethical principle f our fraternity and pro fcasiori." because of which the niSKaine wax regarded as "ubcei unwholesome ami not fit to merit our sponsorship. " Considerable speculation ha been made by saideiit and faculty im iiiIti a to the justi fication of such a radical stroke. The one group-the idealiaU claims an injustice was .lone and that merely a reoi gnniz.tin should have taken place. The other group -the semi, radicalist-believes that the only mean of avoiding more of the same stuff ms the dii.g away ith the enterprise entirely. The Nebraskan, though run on the same principle as the Aw gwsn student managed is inclined to Imc up with the latter clique. In fact. The Nebra-skan congratulate the publics tion board for its courage, vision and fortitude in taking a definite stand on the matter. Too often when situations such as the one regarding the Awgwan arise, those in majority are hesitant to do anything which might stir up antagonistic feeling toward them. They try to keep in the middle of the road - making things balance as best 1hey can. However, in this particular instance, the board in charge displayed its authority regardless of what any one might say or do. The Awgwan itself has been more or less on probation the last ftw years. This in not the first tune it was forced to suspend publi cation. According to a former editor, the peri odical was disbanded six years ago for the same reason, but was allowed to resume its place on the campus in the fall of 1024. Since that time, the magarine has been barely moving along-in a financial way. A large deficit, disclosed at the opening of the present school year, is a sample of its struggle for existence. But irrespective of this handi cap the publication has served a "useful" pur pose in at least one respect politics. The Awgwan has been an excellent tool for fraternity political manipulators seeking to raise their dear "old gang" to exalted posi tions on the campus. The Awgwan has been a stepping stone to honorary society member ships. And, of course, the Awgwan has had to bear the consequences due mainly to misman agement. That the Nebraska state educational insti tution will suffer because of the demise of ita comic sheet is nothing but a myth. The school and is ideals mean much more to tne average citizen than the kind of literature that appears in humor magazines especially the quality contained within the covers of the November issue of the Nebraska Awgwan. Echoes of the Campus. Fair Election. To the Editor of The Nebraskan: At the recent election of Nebraska Sweet heart, who w ill be presented on Thanksgiving morning at Kosmet Klub show, there was no cheek made on the voters. Identification cards were not necessary, and some voted as many es six or eight times. With this poorly organ ized voting, the question arises whether an attempt should be made to make future elec tions fair. The purpose of an election is to choose fairly from the candidates running one who is the most popular. When there is duplication of votes and deliberate stuffing of the ballot box, how can a fair decision be reached! A just election demands voting restrictions so that an ambitious person may not vote as many times as he chooses. But the Kosmet Klub did not deem it necessary, and identifi cation cards, the logical check, were not naked for. , , . After the ballots have been caat, the count ing must be fair and unquestioned. According to the Kosmet. Klub, the votes were to br counted by a public accountant, yet there is Ntudentfl made up the U.rj mi ic yiwi- - - i committee, and that the advertising was false. There is urgent neea ior oeuer nrruuu. at the University of Nebraska. An immediate attempt should be made to make future elec tions fair. D- Are Juniors Afraid? To the Editor of The Nebraskan: In a recent issue of The Daily Nebraskan appeared an article stating that juniors in this university are afraid. It was stated that they are taking every precaution not to step on some senior's toes for fear that they could not get in the Innocents and Mortar Board socie ties. It also stated that their point of view on life is narrow. Is this a strue statement! Perhaps this may be true of fraternity or sorority people but I do not believe it to be true of barbs, li. the past these two orders were made up chiefly of members of Greek organizations. It seems that one does not stand a chance of getting in them unless he has the "pull" mentioned in the editorial. Nebraska juniors rh a whole do not go to 1 his university'with only thoughts of graduat ing in sight. The most of them are thinking forward to the time when they are out of school. Of course, there are doubts in their minds concerning what they are going to do, but they are not afraid. Just step up to one and ask him what he plans on doing. Nine out of ten will have a plausible answer to your question. They an preparing themselves for some line of work and are putting forth every effort to accomplish their aims. A very, very small percentage of the junior class may become members of the two societies Those who know they have a chance will no doubt try very hard, and perhaps fear for theii future, especially as time goes on they base their efforts solely to becoming a member. Why should the large majority bother about this when they know that nothing in these two societies will benefit them! The writer of the editorial should have made a more thorough investigation before say ing that juniors have a narrow outlook. The greater percentage who have gone two am' one-half years in a university could not have a very narrow outlook on life, otherwise they would not hare gone that far. Merely the sheepskin does not have the at traction that it formerly had. It must stand for something thaT can be rff use, and the jun iors in this university have largely found this point of view.

One old venerable, at tempting to harangue the mob, was seized and apun about dizzily, and sent reeling against the walla. He proceeded to send for reinforce ment In the person of the arch duke of administration, and though the revolutionists listened to a speech on the latter' part, they were not Impressed. "Later tn the day, worn with cold and hunger, I left the hoarse voiced mob to return to civiliza tion.

Problem: What ts the student to do with used book? Discus sion: Outalde book-shop sell book at regular prices. They buy uaed book at fearfully low price. The university book atore doesn't buy used books; it only sella. The Student Rxchange never waa satisfactory because one had to wait too long. It Is hard to find Individual student desiring to uae your book, and ready to buy It. Consequently, th uaed books either pile up or i ha student aacriflce them at a low price. Conclusion: Burn them, bury them, crate them, aend them home to Mother, aend them to the Ar menian Relief, or give them to Red Long for charity. There'a no al ternative.
