part fraternity politic apparently played in pick

Six fraternities represented on the Innocents so
ciety this year have no members in the new group.
Members from four fraternities who had no Inno

ternity representative, for the first time in several
years, was chosen an Inmtfent. These figures speak
for themselves. This year at least, fraternity poli
tic have gone by the boards.
A FEW of the words spoken by Dr. George Con
dra, faculty adviser of the Innocent, in his pre
liminary address prior to the tapping, carried espe
cial significance.
"The thirteen men seelcted," he declared, -have
been consirtreed so outstanding that they are being
drafted to sen the university. It Is not so much
the honor of being an Innocent that concerns us. It
ia the service which this organization should and

or is the condition at the presrnt
to be fully as well prepared for directing the affairs

conditions at the University of Nebraska are ana
logous to those in other institutions.
A rigid survey of all the university organiza
tions fails to reveal one whiih devotes its interests
to informing male students of political affsirs.
There are honorary and professional fraternities,
clubs, societies, and organizations by the score, ail
am devoted to other interests, the im
If that Idea could be conveyed to all students who
are working In the field of activities around this
university, the benefits that would accrue to this
institution would be Increased very perceptibly.
The time-worn phrase, "Service above self" has
been overworked in the rotarian world of today, but
its genuine meaning Is undimrr.ed. It is a meaning
that new members of the Innocents should take to
heart. It Is a conception that should influence
every student holding a position of responsibility in
thi university. In fact it wouldn't be a bad idea if
some of the faculty members took an inventory of
themselves and caught the spirit of service.
The happy part of it is, however, that most stu
dents and most of the faculty keep the Idea of serv
"ice well in mind.
NEXT year the InnoceDts society will face pos
sible reorganization. Its activities, along with
those of Mortar Board, will be correlated with those
of the Stuient council In a new constitution for the
student body of this university, if present plans
materialize.
The Innocents society has made definite progress
in the past year. Its members have seen fit to
think of the welfare of the organization and of pick
ing truly outstanding Juniors as their successors.
Factionalism, apparently, has played no part The
coming year should see even greater strides for
ward In democratization and representativeness of
the Innocents society.
The excellent quality of the new Innocents, how
ever, is partly attributable to the criticism leveled
.against the organization throughout the past year.
Especially effective was the editorial campaign of
Cliff F. Sandahl last semester. Bitter against the
Innocents at that time, Sandahl today shows his
thorough satisfaction of the present selection in a
signed front page news article. His and others'
criticisms, coupled with the ability of the member
of the Innocents to take them, brought the desired
results.
The unimpeachable character of the new Inno
cent wa attested by the tremendous ovation the
members received following their election. They
deHerved it. But so do the outgoing Innocents who
forgot personal friendships and fraternal affilia
tion to pick real men who should serve their uni
versity well.
The Nebraska coeds, who are frequently ac
cused of wasting their time in caking, necking, and
primping, have .seen fit to organize a University
League of Women Voters. Books of political nature
are reviewed by, assigned members. The industrial
group recently gathered clothing to be sent to the
lamilies of strikers in South Carolina.
Evidence of lack of interest on the part of the
college men is seen in the World Forum attend
ances. While at least a score of women were pres
ent at these meetings, it was seldom that more than
three or four men attended.
When Major Hoan of Milwaukee came to the
campus, the men were invited to the Vespers serv
ices which he addressed. Although a large crowd
was present the stronger sex was not represented
by more than two or three members.
Organizations for men similar to the League of
Women Voters could do much toward enlightening
the male student population on politics and forward
preparing them to vote intelligently when they
leave the campus of the university.

BEHIND THE MASKS.
E"AUSE no insinuations of malfeasance or cor-
rnniinn have ever been cast upon Mortar
Bo; rds, their activities in masquing new members
on Ivy day do not warrant as much comment as
the Innocents.'
Mortar Boards, almost needless to say, continued
to choose girl according to the high standards their
organization insists upon. The new members are
worthwhile coed leaders whose scholarship is high
and whose popularity is recognized and deserbed.
More congratulations which are in order on this
day of passing felicitations and compliments are
sincerely and warmly given both to old and new
members of the senior women's honorary society.

Memory of Lawyer
Engineering F eud
Im Again Rerired
Last Saturday a replica of a
Bessemer converter wa erected by
the engineer on the campu in
front of Administration ball as
part of their Engineer's week fes
tivities. Nothing less than an open
challenge to the lawyers w-as this
monument of the engineer.
The machine wa so constructed
as to represent a converter In ac
tion. Powered by electricity, It
dumped dirty water into a tub at
regular Intervals. The cannon like
affair was thought to be a cement
mixer. Ail went well until Wed
nesday night. The purpose of the
engineers seemed defeated.
But Thursday morning the en
gineers found that operations in
the iron industry had ceased. Their
machine refused to function. Dur
ing the night eri! powers had been
at work. The electrical wiring had
been torn down, the motor inca
Dacitated. and other damage done
which stopped the operation of
the so called cement mixer.
It 1 now rumored that the engi
neer have suspicions as to the cul
prits who committed the deed, but
in the interest of wot Id peace and
the London conference have de
cided to take no steps In retaliation.
