seeks to install the national election plan at the
lnivertity of Nebraska and to end any chance of
corruption. That his scheme would work honestly
cannot be qucbtioned in light of national practice.
Some, however, wonder if it is necessary to install
such complicated election machinery at the I'niver
sity of Nebraska.
With nil ballots kept Rfter counting, and with
a careful check and recheck of counted votes, prob
ability of fraudulent proceedings in the counting
room seem improbable. Williams asserts that
shrewd politicians handling the ballots could readily
slip a bunch in their pocket. If factions are in
terested and supply watchers at the polls they can
prevent this thing. If Williams wishes it. every
suspect could be searched before leaving the count
ing room.
To take legitimate measures of piecaution to
avoid dishonesty in elections is well. To have a
rankling feeling of distrust at every possible turn
is going a little too far. Under present conditions
with no funda to employ counting boards which
would have to work until late at night to complete
their task, William"' idea is not feasible. A simpler
plan with less red tape and with almost equal
honesty is now in operation.
Beneath the nose of a faculty adviser, vigilant
watchers of various factions and Student council
members, it would be risking too much for the

"DISGUSTED RAVINGS."
To the editor:
1 read the discussion on college women in the
Daily Nebraska the other day and another discus
sion in the following paper. Believe me, it makes
me plenty "hot" to hear or read such utterly dis
gusting ravings. You men ask us to be individual,
and talk of spanking us well, how about Individ
uaKsm in men? Suppose you back down for a
minute and let someone else tell you a few reasons
why a coed dares not express her individualism. I
can name you any number of reasons, mostly ones
you won't care to hear, let alone admit the truth
of them.
You say you face your feminine friends and are
appalled. Do you think we are any different in the
emotions we experience when we face our male
friends? They're all alike, and I don't mean perhaps!
For instance: I've had only one date here who
hasn't expected and put on a heavy necking party
the first time I was with him. (The shock almost
proved fatal.) They all expect you to smoke, and
if you refuse, they come back with the remarks,
"Are you afraid?" or "Don't try to kid me." One
might as well do things as be accused of them.
Personally, I hate smoking it utterly disgusts
me to see a girl with a cigaret in her hand, worse,
between her lips. I despise a girl who drinks, yet
I've both smoked and drunk, and I'll tell you why.
I have found that when a girl has a cigaret between
her lips she can't very easily be kissed, and when
a girl drinks it sort of eases the heartache, the
disgust, and the discouragement that goes hand in
hand with all this modern living up to a type-
Let a girl refuse to smoke, drink, and wnnr

As a result of these two conferences and con
siderate deliberation on the matter by the local
Panhellenic advisory board, it is within the range
of possibility to expect Nebraska rules may ne

You men who are always crying for an in

preach and help us out a little in trying to keep
our individuality? But no, let a girl show her ais.

be published in connection with sorority parties
The Nebiaskan, in calling to the attention of
the Panhellenic council what it regards as unwar
ranted suppression of legitimate campus news,
found eighteen of twenty-one sorority presidents
quite in sympathy with a move to change the
regulations. Opinions of other campus leaders
including several ineiiibeis of the Panhellenic coun
cil all were In favor of news stories on such events.
By this method The Nebraskan sought to con
vey to the Panhellenic council the representative
attitude of university students. H asked for and
found not a valid argument for pursuing the plan
now in operation which allows no newspaper ac
counts of sorority social functions to which men
are invited. If the Panhellenic council is demo
cratic and representative of the students behind it.
certainly it cannot fail to lecognize the bent of
student sentiment and direct legislation to sup
port it.
Wrhere was the Voters Intelligence league to
pass out sample ballots designating political fac
tions this year?
GREEK PROBLEMS.
pRATERNITY and sorority pledge lists published
in Sunday's Nebraskan included names ot all who
have affiliated with a social organization since rush
week last fall. Considering that fact it is some
what surprising that the combined lists of both
fraternity and sorority neophytes totalled less than
200. Shrinkage due to students dropping out of
school at the end of the semester or flunking out
earlier in the year brings the number in Greek
letter organizations somewhat lower than in
September.
Fraternities and sororities on the Nebraska
campus are facing a peculiar situation at the pies-
branded as a wet blanket. Yet, if she does as the
rest of her college girl associates do, you yell about
wanting an individual girl.
Being brutally frank I don't care to be "man
handled," but I don't care to put on a wrestling
match all evening either so I "play safe" and
smoke and drink. I'm not bored, just utterly dis
gustedI'm not at all disillusioned, just tired of it
all - tired of eternal pretense and sham.
Why don't you help us be individual, and why
don't you try being that way yourselves? You
have the advantage of us you go out and
get what you like we take what comes and have
to like it.
What have you to say to all this? You who
seek these individual girls? Can you honestly say
you are living up to what you believe? That's
what you demand of us. Are you sure you are
playing square when you say we are only a type
of modern girl ? How do you know what we really
are underneath our pretense a pretense acquired
for the benefits of our "dates," to please them so
they won't be so bored.
If you can truthfully answer all these questions
and can say that you are a model man, one wh.i
is more than willing to back up his demands of an
individual girl, then you have plenty of room to
say such things as you have. But if you can't
then I'd be a little careful of my remarks about
craving an individual girl, a girl who lives up to
her real thoughts of life.
How about it? Can you do this? Don't be a
hypocrite or a cynic. Give us a chance to show our
real selves and we'll no doubt surprise you.
Life is funny that way. The ones who have
room to talk are always the ones who never say
a word against a person, even when he knows that
person is not perfect and is not quite living up to
the Ideal he or she believes in. J. S.

U Immediate and practically
unanimous. But a spirited and well
received statement by Senator
Norn ataited something which,
in four days of earnest argumen
tation, brought fear and conster
nation Into the heart of the re
publican leader. In the final vote,
the margin of safety waa aurprla
ingly and dangerously small.
'T'lIOSK who opHised the nomina-
tlon most of the insurgent re
publicans and an equal number of
liemociats all admitted that Mr.
Hughe Is a man of consummate
legal learning and of unimpeach
able character. Their objections
were in the broad realm of prin
ciple. Kust of all. they pointed to
the fact that Mr. llugbea had been
a mem tier of the highest bench In
the land, and had resigned In 1916
to run for a political office. The
contention was that a man has a
perfectly consclonable light to do
this, but that, once having taken
this step. It is unmoral for the
same political group which drafted
him to put him back on the bench.
Some maintained, further, that it
tends to drag the court down to
the level of partisan politics, to
permit this course of action to be
pursued.
THE most weighty objection to
the appointment was based
upon the proposition that the
court Is in great need of liberals,
and that Mr. Hughes is far too
conservative in his economic juris
prudence to fill that need. That
Mr. Hughes is strongly conserva
tive was reasoned from his record
on the bench prior to 1916, and
his record as an attorney for pri
vate Interests after he left the
cabinet. During the past five or
six years, it was maintained, Mr.
Hughes was council for some of
the great oil companies, for Mr.
Newberry of Illinois, and for other
great special Interests. The fact
that as a private attorney be has
represented only the great finan
cial interests before the supreme
court, in some fifty cases, it wa
insisted, renders him saturated
with the philosophy of the Jnter
osts he pleaded for.
THE non-conformists In this
struggle took the stand that
the supreme court, since the pas
sage of the fouiteeiith amendment,
has become "the economic dicta
tor" of the nation. The court is
being called upon to pass upon
cases involving profound social
and economic issues. The philoso
phy of each of the nine men who
sit upon that bench is the factor
which, in the final analysis, de
termines their stand on any given
question. For example, the ques
tion of the evaluation of the prop
erty of public utilities, upon the
basis of which their rates are to
be fixed, is one which vitally af
lects the welfare of the people.
Yet upon this matter there are
two widely divergent views taken.
One has been espoused by the con
servative majority of the court,
the other by the liberals, Holmes,
Brandies and Stone. Whether Mr.
Hughes will be on one side of the
fence or the other is a much more
important matter than is com
monly assumed.
DETWCCN THE LINES
By LABKLLK OILMAN.
THIS debate has served an im
portant function, in focusing
the attention of the people upon
the fact that our jurisprudence Is
not a mechanical process admin
istered by judges who act with the
precision of automatons. The law,
especially in this age of the Rule
of Reason, is a sensitive and flex
ible social standard. It may mean
one thing to one Judge, and some
thing quite different to another.
How a judge will rule on broad
constitutional questions depends
entirely upon his social philosophy,
upon his training and early en
vironment, his prejudices, the
standards of his social set, his in
dividual predilections. Judges do
not think in vacuo; Jullcial atti
tudes are the result of a very com
plex social process.
GOVERNOR WEAVER has de--cided
to call a special session
of the legislature in the near fu
ture to cope with the crisis exist
ing in our state guaranty fund.
During the violent deflation period
which followed the World war,
when many state banking systems
were in a precarious position and
banks were going to the wall in
droves, Nebraska sought to save
her banking structure by estab
lishing a special fund which would
guarantee every dollar a depositor
put in a state bank. The law
sought to create a fund, for this
purpose, to be raised by assessing
each Tiank doing business under a
state charter, in proportion to its

I70R various reasons, economic
and administrative (depending

rears millions of dollars. Governor
Weaver's plan, for the sanctioning
of which he is summoning a spe
cial session of the legislature, pro
poses that the $16,000,000 deficit
in the guaranty fund be met in the
following manner: Half of the de
ficit is to be made up out of public
taxation; the other half will be
met by a continuation of the pres
ent assessment syjm. This sys
tem is to be revamped, in seveial
