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.

Smoking in Sorority llou$e.'
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. The reasonable an-

Chemistry is by far the most
popular field for graduate study at
the University of Nebraska. Twenty-six
students are working on
master's' degrees , and eleven
toward doctor's degrees. History,
with eighteen seeking master's de
