In the scarlet pant of I'ornhir-ki rdom stu
dent with an uruinal idea. Roodly aupply of
iwrr.v and a desire to wake some money could
line his pockets by htgn a subscription
dance. Thoac were the daya when managers of
student publication raked in the sluckil to
their heart' content.
That kind of exploitation of students i no
longer allowed. Publications are run on a bui
neaa basis . only recognized organizations on
theeampu. allowed to sponsor subscript ion
dances. II
The atudent council is now faced with the
problem of dealing with a violation of its rule
with regard to aubscription dances. If it doea
not act quickly and firmly it will pioe ii own
impotency. The faculty committee bus given
it the power it must exercise it.
Wolf!
The fertile fields of Nebraska ace in to be
overrun with wolfish football fans who rant
and tear their hair when the Cornhuskcrs lose
a game. Some of these arc students; many arc
alumni.
No football team U perfect. If Nebraska
found herself unable to down Oklahoma, that
waa unfortunate but nothing to get distressed
about. Perhaps the team waa a trifle over
confident, but this spirit of superiority was
more in evidence among fans than players.
Strangely, many of those who were most
strenuous in their arguments against The Ne
braskan 'a recent comments on the over em
phasis of athletics arc leading the wolf parade.
It certain that their affection, adoration,
and loyalty is for football and not for a team
nr a school.
Vlvery university, we suspect, is infested
m ith a crew of old gruds who lounge in frat
ernity houses and orate on the merits and de
merits of the football team. These self-appointed
lecturers know everything about the
KMiid old game of football, about the coach
and about his team. When a team loses, they
know why and lose no time in broadcasting
their theories. They are commonly known as
"wolves," and are forever at the door of a
coach, no matter how competent he may be.
Cornhusker spirit should not countenance
the ravings of spoiled fans. Students should
turn a deaf ear to Gus Glutz, '18, who blames
every defeat on the coach or certain members
' of the team. If Nebraska spirit is not large
enough to take a drubbing now and then, it is
a decided false alarm.

Hail Individuality!
A eertaln band of persons in any locality are
prone to go daffy on the subject of individual
ity. A university without a few of these hue-and-crier
would be a dull, uninteresting insti
tution. Nebraska seems to have a portion of
the rebels, as auggested by the initials which
appear beneath an article in Morning Mail to
day. Even babies and Miiall children are not im
mune from the onslaughts of the individualists.
"Do not reprimand the children," caution
some psychologists. "Let them express their
individuality." Well, we may have a mistaken
idea of individuality, but we hate to acknowl
edge that the baby who throws his father's
Sunday shoes out the window is expressing
individuality.
There is a certain strain in every nonnnl per
son which prompts him to violate customs. "Do
Not Spit on the Floor:" may encourage some
persons to do that very thinif, despite the fact
that "spit" is a horrid word. But is that in
dividuality? Individualists need not rebel at every sug
gestion or command given them. If their be
liefs are tramped upon by any order, they have
a right to asert their own ideas. But to as
sume a perpetually revolutionary attitude
toward everything that is a complex and not
individuality.
Even rank individualists must conform to
;.ome customs and conventions or they will find
themselves leering at the prosaic world
through iron bars. If they feel that their lives
are at all useful, they idiould attempt to be
practical about advertising their individuality.
This is our message to X. Y. Z.. who contrib
uted an cntcrtaininir comment to Mnruinir Mail
last week ,and to U. B. L., who defends him in
today's column.
Assuming that university education is bene
ficial despite its many failings, it should be
continued. The University of Nebraska could
not carry on its educational work if all its
students joined the ranks of X. Y. Z. and It.
B. L. Some machinery is necessary to offer a
smattering of culture to thousands of young
men and women; if this machinal tendency of
fends the Individualists, then they must be
come martyra and eacrifice themselves in the
cause of wholesale education.
The editor agrees with R. B. L. that the let
ter written by X. Y. Z. was original and novel.
Perhaps, we, too. have rebel blood. But we rec
ognire the work that must be" done by an insti
tution which treats six thousand students, and
And the thiiiK that fights and comes thinujji

Joining X. . Z.
TO THE EDITOR.
My! My! Our dear editor seemed to be in a
state of furor lust Friday, just because a cer
tain student happened to have an oriuinn
thought. I believe X. Y. Z. to be one of a limited
number of persons who is fortunately indi
vidual enough to be distinguished from the
ordinary mass of people. Since it reipiires in
telligence to be of this number, many of us
must necessarily be excluded. His article had
about it a vague air or the novel which is to be
prised above pearls in this day when so lew
people think original thoughts. After reading
the cut and dried articles about the freshmen
cap, it was very stimulating to rtad the fiery
words of X. Y. Z.
The editor states that X. Y. Z. should not at
tend the university if he doesn't wish to sit
alphabetically. Perhaps the freshmen entering
the university should be asked whether tluy
mind sitting" alphabetically before they an
allowed to become members of the institution.
When one comes to an institution of higher
learning, he naturally wishes to be treated us
an individual and not as a mere puppet. What
difference does it make whether or not a stu
dent is present at a class in which he W bored?
That person gets nothing out of the course
whether he is there or not. Why not let the
Students go to the classes which interest tlii ui
and really get something worthwhile out of I lit
course?
Another question 1 would like to ask is: Y by
doesn't the editor attempt to refute some of the
main arguments presented by X. Y. Z.. instead
of continually harping on the alphabetical seat
ing. which was. after all, a minor point in tin
splendid article?
Here's to sitting wherever we please and to
more letters from X. Y. Z. His article whs the
first intelligent one I have read in the Morn
ing Mail column.
sincerely,

Mad Hatter Speak.
TO TIIK KDlTOlt:
Kmpty elonuenee invoked to camoul'lagc
pitifully sterile mind nauseates nnd revolts mi
intellectual spirit. One who has thus been
abused finds it particularly difficult to he c
passionate when a high dignitary or the state
craves such grace.
University convocations might have been de
vised to amuse, enlighten, bore, or challenge
those attending them. It seems to depend
somewhat upon whether or not the speaker
must or should apologize by telling his iiudiciiee
that it is his privilege nnd honor to be present
nnd to direct propaganda, assinine observations
and naive immaterialities at our seemingly
gullible 'milk-toast Intelligences.
Far too many men of negative eoiiMiiieiiee
have been monopolizing convocation periods.
I mil positive that we have n just grievance
when wc cry out against Dad Elliots. Harry
Atwoods, and others of this same crowd. Harry
At wood, for example, is a super-constitutionalist
who has the unabashed timidity to state
that the most defective portion of our thinking
and teaching in the schools Is that phase of
education which pertains to civics, economics,
and history; almost modestly he uddss "there
are comparatively few who will contend that
there has ever been written a good history of
the United States."
That at least is intelligible, almost in spite of
its insipid and iijestionable nature; the follow
ing is not such: ",Ve have drifted from the
republic to democracy; from statesmanship to
demsgogism" in "an ngc of retrogressive ten
dencies." "Tough isn't it?
We demand tii.it men with ideas and the
strength fo present them, like Norman Thomas
and Carl Rusacil Fish, bo secured in the future.
Of course wc want it made clear that we shall
violently resent being spoon fed with any cen
sored and expurgated rehashings.
I move in all solemnity that convocations be
abolished If we cannot have someone less In
tolerable than a ranting super-patriotic con
stitutionalist, a militarist, or a communistic
economist turned loose upon us.
This university displaya fortitude of a most
unbecoming nature when it asks and expects
a man of the type and caliber of Hartley Hurr
Alexander to address its student body from the
same platform from which a contemptible pro
phgnndist has spewn forth. MAD IJAl KH
