'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.

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.

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

at the University of Nebraska. An immediate
attempt should be made to make future elec

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. A BARB J UNIOB.
