Dr. Dean R. Leland. Preabyterlan
pastor here, la quoted aa aajlng
that "Hollywood notions of love,
marriage, romance, happlneaa and
a good time pervade the oampua"
before a group or Preabyterlan

He stated that be made uie utter

that he was trying to put acroaa,
The newspaper article." he de
rinred. "took the content of the
speech Instead of the context. I
was Irvine to Bay that some of the
students at Nebraska bava lost
tfht of the spiritual aide, while
. in the whirl of outside activities,
When asked concerning their
views on the newspaper story, the
two deans who have supervision
over the students and several of
the student leaders themselves
, don't quite agree with the presen
tation.
"May Be Right"
They say that the accusation
may be right In part but not when
speaking of the student body aa a
whole or a large pari wereoi.
"I do not know exactly what Dr,
Leland meant," declared Dr. T. J
Thompson, dean of student affairs
"And I shouldn't like to express
myself before talking It over with
him. However I can say this that
I am always for Nebraska students
and will take their part whenever
I see that they are in the right."
Miss Amanda Heppner dean of
women, said it was true that a
number of students indulge In so
cial activities to the detriment of
their scholastic and spiritual at
tainments, but that the greatest
majority was this way would be
making it too sweeping.
Practically the same sentiment
was voiced by several or tne siua-
ent leaders on the NebrasKa can
ous. interviewed following appear
ance of the a-ticle in the Omaha
newspaper.
Not So Wicked.
Bill T. McCleery, Hastings, edi
tor of The Daily Nebraskan, de
clared that in his opinion students
are not as wicked as they are be.
lieved to be, although It is true
that some "black sheep" are found
. among the pure ones.
Cornhuskers are not too bad or
too good is the judgment of Bob
Kelly, Nebraska City, president of
the Student council and managing
editor of The Nebraskan. The
students may not be as bad as
pictured, in his belief, but still
they aren't as spotless as others
would have them to believe they
are.
The only woman student leader
to be Quoted on the matter is
Betty Wahlquist, Hastings, presl
dent of Tassels, women's pep so
ciety, and also member of Mortar
Board, senior honorary for women
Miss Wahlquist thinks that col
lege students snould be com
mended for their ability to couple
good times with their studies. But
these good times, she says, are
on a higher plane than most out
aiders give them credit ofr enjoy,
ing.
Exception to the Presbyterian
pastor, as quoted in the Omaha
newspaper, was also taken by Rev.
Henry Erck, Lutheran student pas
tor, and C. D. Hayes, general sec
retary of the university Y. M. C.
A.
. Commends Students.
In his work, the Lutheran pas
tor reports that he has met with
good co-operation from students of
that faith.
"Students coming to the univer
sity reflect the training they have
received at home," Rev. Erck
stated. "The Lutheran church
is known for the emphasis it places
on religious tiaining of its youth
and I ascribe my success with the
work among Lutheran students to
the influence of the parental home
and home church."
He said there are upwards of
500 students of Lutheran denomi
nation at the University of Ne
braska annually and it is gen
erally true that at least 90 per
cent of these 500 take an active
part in campus religious affairs.
C. D. Hayes, general secretary
of the Y. M. C. A, has discovered
with his contacts with young men
of the university that it is not en
tirely due to indifference that stu
dents are dormant religiously but
rather the cause is circumstantial.
This is what he says:
"On the surface it is true what
Dr. Leland says about a lack of
appreciation of spiritual values.

JOURNEY'S END
IS PRAISED BY
FACULTY GROUP
Next Players' Production
Scores Much Favorable
Sentiment.
DEAN HEPPJO AGREES
Dr. Hattie Plum Williams,
Alice Howell, Others,
State Views.
-Journey's F.nd." the first play
to be preaented by the Unlveraity
Players, haa been favorably com
mented upon by thoae who have
already aen the play.
Mlaa Amanda Heppner. dean of
women, aaw It In New York and
aald. "The play If a gripping
drama which depicts what war
doea to the charactera of those
who live: this play will crtalnly
have an effect upon war aentlment
in this country."
rtr Matri Plum Williams head
of the aociology department, was
emphatic In her approval.
"Every cimen anouia ace jour
ney s End because ll win neip in
equilibrating his estimate of war'
she atated.
"Unlveraity people will find a
partcular interest In it because it
depicts so clearly the effect of war
upon men of the student class. It
la atark and unrelieved: yet just
when you think you cannot aland
another minute, the audience Is
swept off In a gale of laughter at
some well-timed sally."
The dramatic values of the play
and its realism appealed to Miss
H. Alice Howell head of the dra
matic department, who spent fif
teen months In France during the
late war, working in a red cross
hospital unit. Her duties were to
feed and cheer up the wounded
men who came into the hospital
and were waiting for the busy
doctors to attend to them.
"The play is not overdone but
very realistic," she stated.
Dr. G. H. Doan, university li
brarian, gave as his Opinion:
Journey s End' Is the finest play
that I have ever seen from both
the standpoint of the way it was
produced by the E'nglish company
which I saw give it and we senti
ment underlying the play. I should
like to see it again and again."
"The stage play la much more
vivid and dramatic than the
movie," is the opinion of Dave
Fell man and Zolley Lerner who
both saw the stage play and the
moving picture.
"Journey s End ' played in jvew
York for two years and six com
panies were sent on the road with
the play. Unfortunately, it was
rarely presented outside of the
larger cities. Packed with intense
drama and relieved with bits of
excellent comedy, It presents a
new side of war which Is perhaps
the most tragic, the most futile of
all.

HUMOR SHEET'S
RETURN SOUGHT
BY JOURNALISTS
Sigma Delta Chi Votes to
Petition Pub Board
For Awgwan.
THREE STIPULATIONS
1,000 Subscription List,
Enough Advertising,
Staff Prospects.
Motion to petition the student
publication board for return of tha
Awgwan, University of Nebraaka
comic aheet, waa unanimously car
ried at a meeting of Sigma Delta
Chi. national professional Journal
istic fraternity, at a meeting at
the Alpha Theta Chi house laat
night.
The petition will be accompanied
by certain provision which mem
bers of Sigma Delta Cht think
would Insure the success of the
Awgwan. If returned. The organ
ization haa decided that before the
Awgwan Is reinstated there ahould
be a subscription list of a thous
and, enough advertising to finance
two issues, and enough staff ma
terial to furnish the publication
board a good choice In selecting
editor, business manager, and
others of the staff. These three
items are thought to be necessary
to insure the all around success
of the Awgwan, providing it la
brought back.
Committee Appointed.
A committee made up of El
mont Walte, chairman,' Maurice
Akin, Lowell Davis, and Bill Mc
Gaffin waa apopinted at laat
night's meeting to further Investi
gate the Awgwan. The commit
tee will have the idea of furnish
ing concrete financial facta to the
publication board for the Aw
gwan's return. The committee
plans to look through back files of
the Awgwan and ascertain the
average cost of producing the
magazine.
"If Sigma Delta Chi obtains a
thousand subscribers to the Aw
gwan, if it secures sufficient ad
vertising to finance two issues,
and if it procures enough material
to furnish choice of a good ataff.
will the student publication board
grant the return of the Awgwan,"
is the petition which will be pre
sented to the publication board by
Sigma Delta Chi.
If the publication board ap
proves the petition. Sigma Delta
Chi has voted to "carry out the
provisions in It. This would mean
the return of the Awgwan.
The petition will be presented at
the earliest meeting of the publi
cation board.
Further Business.
Further business transacted at
last night's meeting included a
discussion of individual members
furnishing material for "Tales of
the Cornhuskers" official football
program. The project was dropped
by an unanimous vote of the body.
A committee consisting of Ed
gar Backus. Leonard Conklin, and
Don Facka 'to act as general util
ity group for the high school jour
nalism convention to be held here
late In October was appointed.
New members were discussed
and also the possibility of giving
a Gridiron banquet later in the
year similar to that staged at
other schools. The banquet, al
though the title might be mislead
ing, is not of a football nature and
would not Interfere with the an
nual Cornhusker banquet. Gene
