Foul Odors. Ill-smelling smoke is arising from the University of Kansas campus. Jim Bausch, re nowned football star, is being questioned con cerning violations of Big Six rules. The Uni versity of Kansas is receiving a great deal of murky publicity for its actions. The Nebraskan 's stand in regard to "help inp" athletes has been stated often enough. This publication's disapproval of the athletic department's strenuous job-getting campaign brought howls of protest from many athletes, fans and alumni. Those who growled most threateningly at The Nebraskan must be thankful that this university is not involved in the situation that confronts Kansas. An over-interested Kansas alumnus is evi dently at the bottom of the trouble. Nebraska, too, has certain alumni who might be glad to "help" this school's famous athletes if they were allowed. It is the task of every conscious person connected with the University of Ne braska to. see that we steer clear of under handed dealings concerning our athletes. The present trouble at Kansas is not a new problem for that institution. Eyebrows have been raised before at Jim BauRch and his in surance job, but the matter is.being broadcast, now, for a hungry public's digestion. Why must athletic-minded alumni throw their shady services to a university's athletic department or coaching staff. They claim to le loyal, active supporters of the school, yet they drag her name in the mire. Nebraska is innocent, so far as we know, of ' any practices which might deluge her with a mud storm. The athletic department's agi tated search for jobs in which prospective grid stars might be placed, however, may lead to something worse. Temptations are large and numerous, colleges need will power to sacrifice outstanding athletes for the sake of honor and sportsmanship. But it must be done. Kansas, through actions of the Big Six .ouncil of war, is being given an opportunity to straighten up. No schools in the conference ,ill schedule games with her. It may shatter h brilliant season for the Kansans, but those who lean over the tops of tall buildings arc Hpt to fall off. Where can the blame be placed when a school resorts to illegitimate practices to en lice athletes. Not on the athletic board, not on the student body, not on the coaches. Re sponsibility for athletes-at-any-pricc campaigns may be squarely placed on an athletic minded public. Kansas limped through several sea sons, but her followers were not satisfied with ihe behavior of the team. They clamored for better material, more brawn! These wolves are to blame, in all probability, for the present catastrophe at Kansas. Let the wolves howl. If Nebraska chii win games on the level, all well and good. If she cannot snare victory from her foes without paying athletes, then we prefer to lose. There is no question. Girls look larger and more collegiate in fur coats! Smoke Signal. Many student letters have been received by The Daily Nebraskan in the past week concerning the problem of smoking rooms for coeds. Certain individuals on the campus be lieve that The Nebraskan is bothering itself" over a trifling matter when it devotes space to a discussion of coed smoking. If students are concerned over the matter, The Nebraskan is obligated to discuss it. Many campus citiiens are not at all bothered over ihe subjects which the intelligensia deem worthy of comment. We believe that coed smoking rooms should be established, and since the student body has awakened to the issue, we reopen it. Tt is true, as one Utter points out, that the smoking problem has been stirred up many times. It has always been placed back on the shelf. After these flurries of discussion, the problem is not less serious it is not solved. Since the Associated Women Students board is involved in self government for coeds, w e ask that body to take some action. If Tho Nebraskan is barking up the wrong tree, then the A. W. S. board might clear up matters. Is the A. W. S. board aware that students me interested in smoking .rooms for coeds? Miss II. H., a practical coed, believes that smoking rooms will never be established until parents come to approve of smoking. She, like many others who have entered this discussion, is willing to sacrifice an opportunity for in ternal improvement to preserve public favor. Some parents disapprove of smoking. They do cot allow their daughters to inhale the dreadful fumes at home and would be enraged to find a cigaret between the lovely lips of their pride-and-joy. If thpir daughters are smoking, however, they should be given smok ing rooms. The editor has received letters from mothers of university women, deploring his immorality and condemning The Nebraskan 's stand in favor of smoking rooms. Do theso mothers Buspect that their daughters inhalo an occasional cigaret? If so, what difference would smoking rooms make? Miss H. 11. would prefer to let coeds lake their puff-and-run cigarcts 111 cafes, back yurda, drug stores and Hlleys until parents are fully reconciled to smoking. She endorses 11 policy of deceit on the purt of coeds M ho would not care to have their parents know the truth. The Nebraskan detests this encouragement of dishonesty. Smoking rooms should be pro vided unless university women choose to elim inate smoking from the Nebraska campus. We repeat our invitation to the A. V. S. board. U.S. Y. P. "Interfraternity Council Acts'" Nebras kan headline. Was that sarcasm, maybe? swer would be that they wouldn't approve of it. Would they sanction, then, a smoking-room in tht house in which their daughters live? There seems to be a long, hard campaign of bringing llice parent nround to the point of view of their off-springs. Perhaps five or ten years will be sufficient, and if there are any of the "pulling coeds" present at that time their desires will be granted. Until then, how ever all contributors" to the paper will have an ever popular subject. Miss H. IT. Calming the Wolves. Nebraska defeated Montana by a large enough margin to satisfy most of the exacting followers. This was not an important game. Victory was conceded for Nebraska by those who were acquainted with the rudiments of football. Thf spirit displayed by the C'orn huskers, however, "spells something more sig nificant than mere Montana defeat.' Those who shake their heads sympathetic ally at mention of the 1930 Cornlnisker foot ball team are due for a surprise. Pittsburgh will line up against Nebraska next Saturday : if players and students are spirited, enthusi astic, then the Pitt team will find stitl conipr tition. On Smoking Itooms. TO T1IK KDITOK: Coed smoking has once more popped 11 1 and caused an uproar on the campus. There is an annual argument of this sort, whether smoking rooms should be installed in dormi tories and soroiily houses; the issue is never decided, but put back on the shelf until the next year when some so-called feminine fiend, feeling that her rights are ihe same as her masculine companions, and have been in fringed upon, once again stirs up the burning embers. Smoking is not a moral issue; it may have been a few years ago but is too commonly and openly practiced by all types of women today; the cultured, the flapper, the business woman. It may bo a dirty, filthy habit, but if so, should be regarded as such when .practiced by the stronger sex. Some agitators affirm that the coed smokes because she thinks it cute, and the smart way of attracting cttcntion. This may be Iruc to a certain extent, yet there are many coeds who smoke for the simple reason that they enjoy it. Many male agitators have a great aver sion to seeing a so-called "fag" in the hands nf ihe "cirl friend." Whether the male de sires to be the privileged sex, whether he is tired of spending his money 1o keep the girl well stocked with cigarettes, or whether smok ing actually cheapens the girl in his eyes, is a matter of some discussion. At any rate, most men profess various degrees of disgust in re gard to women's smoking. Yet a problem which is prevalent on the campus cannot annually be raked over the coals then shelved and ignored. Something should be done about it. If seeing a girl smoking 'actually cheap ens her in masculine eyes, and if there are a number of coeds who smoke merely because thev think it smart, let smoking rooms be in stalled in houses. Then Ihe girl who actually enjoys her after-dinner cigaret may enjoy it without offending anyone, while the girl who smoked because she thought it smart will find in lack of prohibition a lack of smart ness and will look to new things to prove her smartness. riPIIDPC MORNING MAIL The Case of the Coed. TO THE KDITOR: The Daily Ncbraskan's editorial columns have been for the past few days serving as an exhaust-valve for the pent-up feelings of num erous students having certain decided opinions, one way or the other, in regard to' the tobacco habit among girl sUidents on this campus. The whole controversy started when coed timidly suggested that women in sorority houses be allowed to have smoking rooms to keep them from the forced alternative of puff ing cigarcts in drug More booths and parked cars, which, it was aneged, is detrimental to their dignity, reputation and official school standing. Mis Coed's editorial was met by a bar rage of comment from both sexes, some in fa vor of her idea, some opposing it, and others opposing any smoking whatever on the part of the sweet sex. During the past week the ques tion of girls' smoking has been discussed, hashed and rehashed from nearly every pos sible angle. University girls undoubtedly should be pro vided with quarters, in the sorority houses or dormitories in Avhieh they reside, where they can smoke. The arguments backing this idea arc plentiful and sufficiently adequate to war rant some sort of action on the part of offi cials responsible for the lack of girls' smoking rooms both on the campus and in the coed's residences. Many women students use cigarels, not, perhaps, a clear majority, but a large propor tion of Ihe female student body. The girls who smoke are not allowed to take advantage of the privacy of their dwellings, but must dash to the. corner drug atore or confectionery for their after-dinner smoke, or, worse yet, stand on some street corner sufficiently distant from the house-niatr jn's vigilant eye to enjoy their tri-daily ration of nicotine. The result is that in every eating place patronized by students one sees, upon entering, a gigantic cloud of smoke through which it is sometimes impossible to recognize the dainty faces of de mure coeds puffing guiltily at a cigaret. How much better it would be if women were allowed quarters where they could smoke to their hearts' content, instead of being forced to go into a huddle in some ill-lighted, ill-ventilated coi ner joint, or to stand on street, cor ners, subjected to the stares and comments of passers-by, and the attendant humiliation at tached to the spectacle. The question is not whether it is right or wrong, conventional or unconventional for women to smoke, bul whether it is in keeping with the spirit of a so-called cultural institution for certain higher ups in the university and in the Pan-Hellenic council to treat adult women as though they were six-year-old kindergartners. This matter of smoking restrictions is not only humiliating to women old enough to at tend a state university, but is also in a large measure responsible for the wild impressions of college life gained by the outsider whose only contact with students is in public eating places and on street corners where he is af forded a daily glimpse of Betty Coed who has sought refuge there in . order that she may partake of her post-luncheon Lucky. I. . CHOIR LEADERS VISIT MINNESOTA DIRECTOR Rosborough and Humann Soend Week Hearing St. Olaf Group. John Rosborough, conductor of the Great Cathedral choir, and Harvey Humann, his assistant have Just returned from a week's visit with Conductor Christiansen of the St. Olaf choir, at his homo in North View. Minn. Commenting on the visit. Mr. Rosboroueh said: "Dr. Christian sen has followed a progress of the Great Cathedral choir for many years. We are proud of the friend ship and keenly appreciative of the frtend'.y counsel of such an outstanding man. "Mr. Humann, a junior at the university, has been assistant con ductor for two years. The fact that he was welcome for a week in Dr. Christiansen's home is sig nificant of his talent. We both re turn wiLh renewed inspiration, by which the choir should profit." Relative to the progress of the local choir, which is composed of students in the university, Mr. Rosborough indicated that several new songs have been added to the repertoire. He continues to be willing to give a try-out to any one Interested in singing the best classics.

TO THE EDITOR: In the last few weeks at least a column a day has been devoted to the question of "to puff or not to puff" in sorority houses. It has been suggested by some contributors that to allow smoking rooms in sorority houses would lake the inhaling coeds from the corner drug and the various sandwich shops and that having been taken from the public eye, the fair coed would no longer desire to smoke. Very good, but now the little difficulty of putting smoking rooms in sorority houses arises. Can it be done. In the first place, smoking rooms in soror ity houses arc not sanctioned by Pan-Hellenic rules. Various contributors have pointed out that this may as easily be evaded on our cam pus as it has been on others. Granting this to be so, the champion of the smoking room still faces the greater obstacles, namely the people who keep the sorority houses running. It is not the puffing coeds who foot the bills of their houses, it is "Mother and Dad." Do you thing "Mother and Dad" Mould pay the monthly bills of a house which provides a smoking room for their daughter. No, de cidedly, they would not. One would be pretty safe in saying that 95 percent of the sovalled "puffing coeds" puff without the knowledge of their parents. Why shouldn't their par ents know they smoke.
