UNDER FALSE COLORS.
AOAIX the Interf rater nity council has demon
stratel lt Internal meakness. Probation eek
programs, M concealed within roost fraternity
houaea. ai being carnad on this year before.
The move, to do away itb probation week last year
now appeara a a auUnfue to eatape the scathing
criticism leveled at the fratmity system by the
i.tate legislature then in eession.
Probation week as recognised by the unlver
aity an.J Interfratermty council has been abohhed.
But in fat probation week goes on a always.
Too much blame should not be placed on th
shoulders of the council, however, for it is the fra
ternities themselves which are the offenders. Pro-

university. The trouble m ith fraternities is that
they fail to recognire thst the Interfrstemity coun
cil is their own orgsniration. thst what esch of
them dies has Its effect upon the count tl and what
ever It serks to do.
When probation week was outlawed by the
council, fraternitien a a mhole and s individuals
hould have regarded that action a definite and
pertaining to each of them. Instead they decided
to maintain what they consider their "individual
U" and not stick Yy the will of the council.
Had there been no council legislation abolishing
the hell week period last year a continuation of the
horseplay practices involved would not be objection
able now. But in a proud manner and under the
name of rrorress probation week was outlawed.
The people of Nebraska were given to believe their
university had outgrown such childish pranks
"professlr after tha 1S0 season before the howl

Mr. Grovtr declared that ha had ascapa.1 thus
far only out of luck. As an tsampla ha cites tha

which ha disallowed a Kansaa touchdown following
an Intercepted pass on tha grounds that tha Ne

waa finally hushed to grumbling silence only after
A chance photograph waa published proving that
tha Nebraska man had been tackled.

poM that plctuie hadn't been taken. Tha wolves
never would have stopped. I've Just been fortunate
over a long string of years. I ve had enough and
In one more season I'm through. That's final."
S IT to b assumed from that that the status of
an athletic official baa reached a point where he
may be "hounded" from tha game In case he Incites
the anger of the spectators by what he believes to
be a fair decision? la It to be Inferred that of

or In tha Interests of a fair game?
In ever)' athletic contest where an arbiter is
necessary there la bound to be "bowling or the
wolves," tha demands and rounterdemamta of. an
Infuriated audience. There la no apparent manner
In which to silence this entirely. Yet It Is possible
for a referee to ao gain the respect of the crowd
by apparent honesty and fairness and extreme
forcefulness that he may make rulings undeterred
by booa and hlases.
Students in genersl and Nebiaska undergrad
uates in particular have it within their power to
vindicate athletic arbiters. By evidencing approval
of a referee'a decisions and by refrainlngg from
customary catcalls and "wise ciacks," they may in
fluence the rest of the audience to believe in the
honeaty of the official.
Other than this, what is apparently needed is i
hard, bullying. Inexorable offiaiala with the mors I
coursge to back their decisions to the limit. Ref
erees apt to be swayed by mob opinion are worse
than useless they tend to permit a f-pread of the
"snapping wolves." Only by matching snarls with
growls, howls with bellows, and nips with slashes
can officials hope to cope with the "wolves."

council representatives have united in action to me
contrary is the one that is disgusting.
It is this failure of individual fraternities to
.tuk fcy Use rules that makes the inter-fraternity
council the weak organization that it is. Violations
of last year s probation ruling were not punished.
Violators of this year's rushing rules, inadequate as
they were, were not reprimanded. Nothing is said
of probation this year, though It is common knowl
edge that fraternities are putting on house programs
involving much horseplay and quite out of keeping
with the spirit of lsst year s regulation. In view
of these facts is It likely that any action the coun
cil takes in the future will be enforced? Does such
sn attitude on the part of fraternities lend strength
to the new rushing rules which go into effect next
fall?

MORE ON MORALS.
POMMKNTS on eollege morals continue
Student Pulse column seeUies with critical re
marks on the subject. Regardless of opinions
voiced, the whole discussion leads to a wholesome
consideration of a genuine problem in the life of the
average university student. The main difficulty in
wrangling over this controversial mstter is the im
possibility of coming to a definite conclusion, the
inability to generalize with any degree of accuracy.
An individual's set of moral values is based
upon three things: first, his personal integrity; sec
ond, his previous training; and third, his associa
tions. At this particular time the ideas of his
friends are likely to have a tremendous influence on
his beliefs. Should these associations tend to pull hla
standards of life to a higher level, they are valuable.
If Ideals are sent tobogganing downward, such
friendships are worthless and unfortunate.
In any event the individual who will not uphold
his ideals despite adverse conditions which seek to
undermine them, has a shallowness somewhere in
his makeup. But to quell the anxiety of students
who fear that by being true to their ideals they will
be standing alone, their attention should be called
to the significant fact that with two exceptions, all
opinions of students submitted up to this time decry
prevalent low moral standards and point out that
there are many who stick to a high set of ethical
principles.
It la comforting to know that this category of
high-minded students is not exterminated. These
individuals are quick to set forth their opinions
when any suggestion is made that the collegiate
populace has ratified a slovenly moral code. They
prove that there are some people left in the univer
sity who do cherish high ideals and try to live up to
them.
The entire argument at least shows that the
coed or college man claiming to have stumbled into
a pitfall because he or she couldn't find worthwhile
associates simply hasn't looked around for them.
HOWLING WOLVES.
K a RECENT basketball game in the coliseum,
the Nebraska team was penalized a free throw on
account of the booing of the crowd anent an un
popular decision. The referee, John Quigley, dem
onstrated in this manner his complete authority and
absolute disregard for the "bowling of the wolves."
Aa a result in a aubsequent game the spectators ac
cepted all unfavorable decision! of Referee Quigley
with respectful silence.
However, all officiala have not fared so well
in their attempt to give fair verdicts in athletic
contests. In a recent issue of the Kansaa City Star.
John C Grover. eminent football referee of the Mis
souri alley, indicated bis determination to quit bis
least, to fight?
I emphatically deny that the average man is

things to keep boys interested. Any girl who has
personality, intelligence, charm, and character will
not find it necessary to indulge in practices of
which she does not approve in order to maintain
her poularity with members of the opposite sex.
J. S. admits in her article that she indulges in cer
tain practices merely as pretenses, though they are
contrary to fcrr ideals. This is hypocrisy. No one
likes a hypocrite.
Some one once said, "With a lever you can
move a little: with a lever and a fulcrum you can
move the world." Dont forget, J. S., ideals are
fine, but they accomplish nothing unless backed up
with the courage of your convictions. The world
loves a fighter, so quit pretending and fight for
your ideals.
"If the worst is bound to happen,
Spite of all that you can do,
Running from it will not save you
See it through!" J. C. L.
OTHER COLLEGE TYPES.
To the editor;
I belie-e it is time for another Idea or two from
another corner of the campus on this question of
individuality among college men and women. To
the observing person it is obvious that those who
have contributed opinions thus far represent only a
more or less definitely defined portion of the student
body.
The public, and I presume the public gets part
of its misconceptions of university life from such
columns as this, should know that there are many
men on the campus who do not at all deserve the
general criticism of college men that was in the col
umn Wednesday. These particular men are at the
university for an education; not for the "social" ac
tivities of the questionable variety.
The writer believes also that there are as many
college women who can demand the respect of
these men; women who think there are more worth
while things than to be called "good sports," women
who do not "smoke, drink, neck, and what not,"
and yet are popular with their friends.
The question is not whether one ahould con
form to a certain type and be popular. With whom
do you desire popularity? That is the question.
There are many students to be found who do not
appreciate individuality and clean character, though
they are not likely to be found associating with
men and women whose tastes are otherwise.
Many of these men of whom I speak may not
own automobiles, and the women may not dmce, but
those are not criteria by which to Judge anyone.
Surely university students have come to the stage
in life where they can "be themselves." Pretense
isn't pleasing and I can assure you that it isn't
necessary.
After a few have given vent to their feelings,
this argument about college men and women will
die a natural death if it goes the way of most out
bursts and the men who previously demanded smok
ing, drinking, petting, etc, of their "dates" will
continue to demand it, and those who want to be
popular with them will continue to live according to
the fixed type.
But there is another grr-.p to be found. There
are individual men and women, yes, even at the
University of Nebraska. If more criticism is to
follow, I would like to see it aimed at the "sore
spot'' and not at the atudent body in general

Devotes Most of Address
To Tuesday Meeting
On Styling.
Fifty members of the Home
Kconomics association met on
Tuesday evening, Feb. IS, in the
Home Economics parlors. The
feature of the evening was a talk
by Miss Grace Margaret Morton,
associate professor of home eco
nomics, whose subject was, "Op
portunities for Women Trained in
Textiles and Clothing." Some of
the more important fields for girls
trained in this work. Miss Morton
pointed out, are teaching, which
aside from itself is an excellent
background for other fields; exten
sion work which involves direct
leadership and guidance of 4-H
clubs; demonstrating commercial
products to the women of a com
munity, and styling.
Styling is Subject.
The greater part of Miss Mor
ton's talk was devoted to this last
named subject styling. It is a
comparatively new field but has
gained rapidly in importance of
recent years. Fashions are no
longer regarded as superficial and
worldly but are closely allied with
present day economic and social
life. Miss Morton stated. Style
now is the prerogative of everyone
from one part of the world to the
other not that only of the aristoc
racy, and people of great ability
are making style-study their pro
fession. Contributing factors to the de
velopment of this interesting work
include increased wealth and lei
sure, education, improved com
munication and transportation fa
cilities, mass production as carried
on today, and most important of
all, the demand for style among
great numbers of people. It is in
teresting to know that for every
one hundred dollars over an in
come of a thousand dollars, there
is a proportionate interest taken
in fashions.
What Stylists Should Know.
Miss Morton next asked what a
stylist ought to know, and an
swered this by saying a knowledge
of style is essential. That fashions
emanate from known success, fol
low known routes in a rather or
derly manner, and travel slowly
enough to have their importance
appraised is the basis of style
study. Research bureaus exist to
day which concern themselves
chiefly with the progress of fash
ions. Just as a stylist must have
a grasp of costume history and a
knowledge of social and economic
conditions to know why a costume
was favored in the past, so she
must know current events and con
ditions to understand the trend of
the times and advise buyers and
consumers.
A stylist of this kind is in a
position to help many people in
many ways; she can teach the
selling points of merchandise to
salespeople, advise customers, as
sist in selection of piece goods and
ready-to-wear, and suggest ideas
in connection with house furnish
ing. Hers is not a dull routine sort
of work in the least, and returns
great satisfaction of accomplish
ment. '
Mutt Know Types. j
The costume and tradespeople '
are beginning to realize the tm- (
portance of knowing certain types
as regards personalities as well as
actual physical appearance, and a j
prominent merchandise manager ,
has said it is a coming thing and ;
we must get in on the ground j
floor. This is just what a home '
economics girl interested in styl- i
ing learns to do. She can cata-1
logue or size people up quickly as ,
to type, age and personality, and
with her linger on the putee of
fashion trends, the economic and
social contacts she has, and ner I
knowledge of costume history, she
is in an excellent position to help j
people surround themselves with i
beauty and distinction.
In her closing remarks Miss
Morton said, "A girl truly inter- .
ested in styling needs to have an :
attractive personality, courage, a
spirit of adventure, innate good
taste, common sense, a thorough
knowledge of textiles, clothing and j
design, and she must be a prolific
reader, be sympathetic and love
people wholesale."
Blenda Newlin opened the eve
ning's program with a vocal solo.
