I IKE THE prowler of last year .author of With Fire and Sword'' are losing their following. use to describe th mental tt of University of . Nebraska ntudent In a letter t Th Nebraskan liAmn M-aa ttAr Purina' tha first e m.Mer'of 1P: but were he in th. ed.torlal chair I - Tportumty of curing a tru. .valu- now hi opinion would be much th same. Nebraska student don't eem to be capable of getting xcited over anything except football game and rallies, and they treated th latter apathetically )t fall. They take a lazy and in different attitude toward anything of any moment and their enthusiasm toward student movement I notable for it absence. Thi extremely conservative attitude is not typH cal of college student elsewhere. Undergraduate, at Harvard. Trinceton and Rutgers have engaged j in not recently, over quite insignificant things to be sure, but they did signify a willingness to do something besides merely exist. Students in European and Chinese universities take a keen and active interest in the polihtal af fans of their countrie and stag enthusiastic and sometimes reckless pep demonstrations to show! their ardor for a particular political and economic movement a a a a IT IS DIFFICULT to understand the indifferent j Nebraska attitude, though it I typical of th ' great mass of people outside the university gates. J Throughout the nation, an apathy and a spirit of complacency exist. Teapot Dome scandals fail to arouse their indignation; state elections cannot stir their interest. 1 At Nebraska only one-fourth of the student body j votes. Less than that number would cast ballots ; were it not for fraternity coercion. Fewer than 100 students are actually concerned about the welfare of the student body and are interested enough to take an active part in extra-curricular life. In the classroom they continue this "I don't care attitude." They are devoid of ambition, stick-in-the-mud who are attending a university without catching a glimpse of the responsibility that every citizen should assume the responsibility to be in terested in all matters of public welfare. Upon a few student rests the wirnen or geuing , onM whQ UM thejr hMd) tne ar4 the oneg wno things done. Were it not for them the atmosphere around the university would resemble an old soldiers' bom. a AMLESTONES AT NEBRASKA Mav 23. INCIDENTALLY the anti-roller towel campaign of The Nebraskan has been effective. Looks like the fir burned out. yLL work and no play makes jack -and lot of It. The Student Pulse Sioncd contributions pertinent to matters of atu. dnt life and tha unlveraity are welcomed by thi department. Opinions aubmltttd should ba brief and concrete. FRATERNITY "PUSHING" To the editor: It is said there's fraternity politics on the Ne braska campus -at lea.st we should suspect there is, since three factions have been given the official o. k. But there's more politics than what is recognized or what appears on the surface. There politic richt inside of every fraternity house. And the NYTH1NG of a constructive nature that could arouse the universal interest of the student body should be welcomed at this university. If student evince enough interest, active organiza tions on this campus and associated with this uni versity are willing to launch a campaign for a Stu dent Union building, one of Nebraska's crying needs. But this spirit must be built up, must arise spon taneously from within the student body, if such a project is to be successful. Today this campaign would suffer tremenduously because of the disinter ested attitude most students would show. Their attention is never united on any construc tive measure. Something that tends to tear down like a i Ally-riot may inspire them to action Rut when accosted with the idea of a Student Union, which seeks to build a better university within and without, they turn their beads. University spirit that feeling of pride and inter est in this institution should be developed through the erection of a Student Union. Once built, such a structure would serve as a continual stimulus to all-university consciousness. It would wake up some sleepy Nebraskans who right now might just as well be going to Idaho as far as their present feelings and university attitude is concerned. HOME FROM COLLEGE. CCENE: Main street of Smallburg, Nebraska. Cfcaiacters: Sam, the baker's son. Lucy, the farmer' daughter. Mary and Joe College, just home from the University of Nebraska for vacation. Lucy: Well! can you beat that. I don't see how Joe College can elevate his nostrils so high just be cause he has been to the university. Sam: Didn't he speak to you? Lucy: Yes, but that condescending high-tone way of his. I suppose he thinks he is too good for us now. He just tries to advertise the fact that he's been to college with those corduroy and those knicker and that sophisticated way of his as if he were doing the town a favor by coming back and living here a few days. And Mary College Sam: Isn't she a big pain though? She used to be a pretty good girl but now she thinks she was born for better things than Smallburg and people like u. She spoke to me when I passed her this noon but what a fine snob she's turned out to be. Lucy: And she smokes cigarets just continually. Sam: It too bad they couldn't have stayed in Lincoln. "THAT IS a typical conversation that is very likely to take place in any number of small towns in about a week hence. People in small communities fail to realize, that college life does have a ten dency to change student, but it should rot be in such a way as to make them snobbish. It is very likely to change their mode of dress, their manners. It may wipe away some of their earlier moral taboo and eccentric mannerisms. If a year of college life doe not change them at all it can be checked up as a der.d loss. Student should, however, make a special effort to avoid being snobbish or undemocratic when they return to their own communities. They are likely to be misunderstood anyway and they can make matter worse by assuming an air of aloofness. The change should be Internal. In point of view, but it need not make a difference in the attitude a college man or woman ha tow ards his home town i aad hi old friends. get ahead. At this time of the year, just before the close of school, the big boys in the lodges are getting their heads together and doping things out for the next few years. The "logical lads" are being picked out of the sophomore and freshman classes to be "pushed'' along so that when they reach their sen ior years they can be blessed with the insignia: "Campus Kings." Now, don't misunderstand the writer; he has no objections to all thi. In fact, he rather like it and is inclined to encourage it, although he him self never was fortunate to receive any of the plums. The object of this little missive, however, is to give an outgoing senior' reflection on the manner in which this "pushing" business i conducted. It is a well established fact that some frater nities get ahead of others. How do they do it? The process is simple. You only have to know how. The fraternities who soar above the others are those who always push the right men. They test out their undergraduates in the various fields of extracurricular activities and those who produce the best results are given the grapes. They then centralize all of their attention on the one or two who show the best prospects and all others are shunned. Popularity on the campus is one of the strongest factors taken into consideration by the leading Greek letter houses and never do they try to shove anyone ahead who is but little known around the campus confines. This is one of the most potent reasons why they are so successful in keeping their bold on activities. The lesser fraternities, on the other hand, do not play the game right. They can never expect to achieve any great distinction unless they start right now and push the right men and give them every thing they can. They cannot do, as most of them have been doing, sprinkle their activities around to more than one man, but pick out the one who has the best start and let him carry the work on through. Then they will find that everything around this campus doesn't have to be run by just a few fraternities, as is so often alleged. AN OUTGOING SENIOR. A HAND FOR GILMAN. To the editor: La Selle Gilman's column has taken its last bow before an appreciative audience; he deserves a great deal of commendation for his work during the past two semesters. "Between the Lines" was clever and refreshing. Gilman turned out a feature column that could carry off laurels in competition with many big time articles. Talent such as his improve a college publication more than many student realize. They turn immediately to Gilman's column, to read his droll mockery, without realizing its value. Few people have the ability to turn out pag-e after page of fresh, entertaining material. Most person who are endowed with thi talent, however, have the accompanying characteristic of laziness. Perhaps that is why the Awgwan failed who knows ? Gilman, your stuff waa clever. 8orry to ee you go, but perhaps someone will appear to fill the gap you leave in The Nebraskan. I hope so.

DOG SHOW FAILS TO MATERIALIZE (Continued from Page 1.) the campus and ome of the clas- room blackboards as well. "Juit A Good Jok." "It "a Just a good Joke." was the pharmacy dean's comment. "If there. was any maliciousness or viciousness Intended in the thing, tha author will have to be awfully disappointed because I enjoy it. "The possible oDjeciion inai mipht he raised arainst it more by others than by myself Is that I am getting too mucn puoncny, ha said. Dr. Lyman then referred to the apace he received in one of the issues of "With Fire and Sword." outlaw sheet which has appeared on the Nebraska campus this se mester. It was after the appear ance nf that issue that the doctor declared he appreciated what was said about him although it was intended to be derogatory. "I looks as though the dog house or 'Lyman' kennel' has been a decided asset to the University of Nebraska. It has helped to put the university in the limelight with all of it additional publicity," the dean asserted. He believed the dodger to be nothing more than an experiment of certain students or others on this campus to arouse his ire. But the staid Dr. Lyman will not be moved by this any more than he was by the previous "publicity." Gadflies "Extend Hand." Pinned on the last issue of the copy of "With Fire and Sword" which was mailed to Dr. Lyman was the following note, he said: "To you, Dr. Lyman, we extend our hand. You are truly and gen uinely a sport. Signed, In Ab sentia, The Gadflies." Although much interest seemed to be manifest by the student body in the pending dog show, only one person accosted Dean Lyman Wed nesday morning, curiously seeking information anent the affair. ' "He was such an innocent lad, too," said Dr. Lyman. "He was so anxious to know where the show was being held and be wanted to see the kind of dogs that were to be on exhibition. I thought at first he was Just fooling but dis covered later that he showed a good deal of disappointment when I told him it was nothing but a practical joke." Rumors were spreading fast and furious over the campus concern ing the identity of those who were behind the "fluke." It war said that one .rf the nightwatchmen had discovered someone posting a bill on one of the campus bulletin boards and that he had reported his findings to the dean of student affairs of fice. Thompson Shed No Light. Thi story, however, was dis quieted by Dr. T. J. Thompson, dean of student affairs, when asked about it Wednesday. He aaid be knew little about it, and had not seen a copy of the hand bill until presented one by The Daily Nebraskan reporter. "I have only heard that there had been some posted on the bulle tin boards." attested the dean of student affairs. "No nightwatch man has reported anything to me about Tuesday night. From all appearances it is just a scheme to get the university community stirred up." The executive declared no offi cial action would be taken on the matter, since everyone viewed it as nothing short of a Joke.

Entering the conference indoor meet a one of the favorite, the Hunker barely emerged victorious over Iowa Stat, their closest com petitor. 31 to 27 1-2. "A great Nebraska team won against all the tough break In th world, waa th tribute paid to hi Husk era by Coach Henry F. Schulte after the dust had cleared away In Brewer field bouse at Missouri. Hurdler fell and tripped each other, distance men had to run ex- n lap and every other mention- able and unmentionable calamity fell upon the Nebraska team but they came back atrong to win the meet by placing second in in mue relay. Meet End Big Six Seon The conference meet ended the indoor season for Nebraska and tha souad bent their attention to outdoor work in preparation for ; the Texas Relays. Schulte took a I squad of twenty-two men to Texas for the Texaa relays on t naay ano Southern Methodist relays on Sat urday. The high spot of tbi tup wa the performance of Coburn Tomson, Big Six champion and record bolder in both the Indoor and outdoor broad Jump. Cob, came through in fine style to win his event in both meets. Other men who placed in the games were Ho- kuf in tne discus, rayunger in ine javelin, Rhea in the shot and Craig in the broad jump. The four milu relay team ran a fine race to place second to the Butler team and the two mile team picked off a third. Taking his squad on a trek to the southern part of the confer ence, Schulte sent his men into the Kansas relays and the following Wednesday, took on the Oklahoma team in the first outdoor dual. The high light of the Husker competi tion tn the Kansas relays was Hugh Rhea's victory over big Jim Bausch in the shot put. Faytinger and Hokuf annexed points in the javelin. Tomson placed In tb9 broad jump and the two mile re lay team placed o finish the Husker scoring in the meet. Oklahoma Easily Conquered. The dual meet with Oklahoma was one of the bright spots of the Husker schedule. Entering the meet with the dope pointing to a toss-up, the Nebraska team per formed over their heads to win 85-46 in one of the biggest upsets of dope the Big Six has seen for some time. It was in this meet that Rhea g-ot off his best heave of the year, 50 feet and 2 inches. The Drake lelays, wlieie the best athletes of the country are seen in action, had its share of Nebraska men competing and placing. Bill Ossian came through with a place in the pole vault, Tomson placed in the broad jump, Faytinger and Hokuf placed in the javelin. Lam son grabbed some points in the hurdles and Tomson and Craig placed In the hop, step and jump. Hugh Rhea, after breaking the rec ord in the preliminaries, lost to big Jim Bausch. Tiger Tramped On. The Huskers returned home for the remainder of the season with saa looming bfr them. Th Ti ger failed to furninb any oppo sition for the Nebraska team and th Kchult men riled up a lop sided a ore and won th meet with ease. The dual with Kanaas was another matter as big Jim Kum h and hi mate wr doped to give tb Nebraska team on of th toughest ball If of th year. Per forming before th high school team her for th stat meet. Ne braska finally won out by a score of 75 1-2 to &5 1-2.
