Letten whieh bare reached thia pulli ration In dafenia of the athletie department, U of whieh bare been printed in their entirety, hare ahown a marked lack of reaaoninf. No leeiUinate juitification of favorinit athletes in the teenring of outside jobs has been pre- sented. . . There is no justification. The faHant atamni of this Institnuon are taking an active interest in athletics and an extremely paaaive Intereat in education and culture the things for which this university was established and is maintained. It is up to University of Nebraska students U carry the banner of acholarshin. Sports writers, footbal fans, coaches and athletee teem to be taking the present discus sion as a personal mudslinging barrage directed at them. Repeating, we extend our sympathies. Thia defense of scholarship is not an easy war to wage. If the athletic-minded batallion of university students eannot understand that an educational Institution is intended primarily for education, then they would not understand that the War of 1812 happened in 1612. If they refuse to take cognizance of basic facts, it is difficult for s to reason with them. 7. K R replies to Mr. Goodwin's Morning Mail contribution of yesterday in today's opin ion column. That was a simple task, though J. K. R. baa assumed a great deal in his reply. Wo are not arbitrarily convinced that athletics are bugaboos in modern life. We are quite open to any semblance of conviction that tan be presented. Those who attempt to show that athletes deserve first favor in college, however, are running into a stone wall. Edu cation is the essence of college. Without it, there would be no colleges ; and yet, reasonably temperate souls attempt to show that athletes dasem primary consideration. Yesterday morning we recommended that the University of Nebraska extend its job-hunting efforts to young men and women who would improve the university scholastically, if it is necessary to promote modern colleges and it seems to be. At present the only significant attempt to bring new material to Nebraska is made by the athletic department. Whether any results will come from The Nebrsakan's well-meant suggestion remains a mystery . We suggest, further, that this university provide scholarships for new students, in order that they may enter this institution though "caught short" financially. Other large uni versities offer tuition scholarships to outstand ing high school students. Nebraska has lost many brilliant students to other states because of its inactivity in this direction. As for Mr. McFariend, his Morning Mail contribution seems to suggest that "the myriad of reformers are doing nothing to correct the uncomplimentary opinion which other univer sities have of Nebraska. Whether we come under the head of reformers or not, The Ne braskan is more concerned with internal condi tions than external opinions. Reformation or improvement must come from within. This university is not a hodge-podge of high hats, feather brains, cake eaters and lounge pounders, as Mr. McFarland accuses. If other collegians have that impression, they are wrong. Fraternal affiliations are empha sized too much, it is true. But that tendency is not reserved for Nebraska. It is present in any university of this size and is founded on a mistaken heirarchy of dollar aristoerasy, set up by the generations which have preceded us. College, after all, is a slice of humanity. The tendencies which are apparent in a uni verse of young people reflect the opinions of the country. If college democracy is de spicable, the reformer mwt begin his remodel Uf emtiida. In most cases, parents are to biate in the mistaken iitl of human worth that their eelltjiate pride-and.jov expresses. Students are not passing up Nebraska be cause of its snobbishness. They are not enter ing eastern and western eollegs because of our lae k f durational far ilitirs, though aome may find other ir.Mtuti.'ii btWr tuennrd and uj plied in errtain juhifd lnir.

To the Editor: I am challenged by Harold Goodwin, n contributor to the Morning Mail, 1" answer questions regarding my first contribution to this column on athlete proselyting. My understanding of the word proselyting at the time I wrote the first student opinion, I must admit, was similar to that expressed by Mr. Goodwin, viz., procuring athletes ille gitimately. Noah Webster's definition of the word, however, fortifies me more from charges of unfairness. "Proselyte to convert to some religion, opinion, system or the like..." is the brief definition. "vTho w'ill deny that Nebraska coaches, Nebraska "N" bearers and alumni have not tried to convert athletes from this and perhaps other slates to enter our institution with the sole purpose of playing our athletic teams All praise is due them that persuade Ihein to come here by extollin gthe merits of the school, the spirit of the student body or the prow ess of the football team. But some of them have offered more ques tionable arguments. I have neither the time nor the inclination to collect a great deal of specific evidence against the proselyters but 1 do know of actual instances where athletes have been lured here partly by the means of getting them jobs. Nebraska is not as guilty as some other nearby sehools I could mention but that condition is their problem, not ours. Mr. Goodwin is absolutely correct in his surmise that I am uncertain whether Kansas pays her athletes or not But even Mr. Good win must have noted that strangs things have happened on the campus at Mount Oread of late. Does he recall the incident a few years ago when a particularly adept hflskelball player at Doane college suddenly decided that his cul tural opportunities at Lawrence were much greater than at Crete? Does he know that an other star basketball player from Crete went with him to study under Dr. Forrest Allen? Despite the white-washing given Kansas by conference officials it is fairly clear that alumni of the Jayhawk institution "made things easy for the Bauseh brothers. A well founded rumor says that a prominent Peru college ath lete of two years ago received glittering offers from Jayhawk nhiinni but decided to follow his former coach to another school this year. "Don't you think it only fair that we should help those bo3's that 'are willing to go out thert and risk their bores for the 'clorv of Nebraska...?" " for that reason. I think we should help those No, Mr. Goodwin, I do not think it fair for that reason. I think we should help those who burn the midnight oil and achieve scholas tic success for the glory of Nebraska. Nebras ka's glory should be attained primarily in the classroom and not on Ihe foot hall field. Other fjueNtiruis propounded by Mr. Good- Y. W Severals ijirla from the Ne braska campus went during the past season. XaCadene Hill, official delegate from the University of Nebraska and chairman of the inter-racial staff, spoke of the spe cial meetings and feature nights of I the camp. ! Lucille Ledwith. chairman of the World Forum staff, save a short talk on the organization of the convention and the different prob I If ms that confront the members of j the Eroup. Minnie Nemechek, i chairman of the membership 1 board, described the different ac tivities projects, and the general recreational program. The Estes conference is held in order to further friendships be tween girls from all parts of the world, the speakers reported, and to sponsor the growth of the Y. V. C. A. organizations. DR. HOOPER WILL READ PAPER FOR DENTAL SOCIETY Dr. B. L. Hooper, chairman of the prosthetic department of the dental colleg-e, will be the guest cf the Lincoln Dental society Monday evening. Oct. 6. at a dinner la tie Lincoln hotel.

OBSERVATORY TO BE OPEN TONIGHT; SWEZEY TO TALK The observatory, of which Pro fessor Sweezy Is at the bead, will be open tonight to all who wish to observe and study the heavenly bodies.
