Too Late?
For the first time since wc have been en
rolled In this university, there has been some
eidence of class spirit. At the mass meeting
of seniors held yesterday in Social Sciences
auditorium, there prevailed a spark, a begin
ning; at kast, of class spirit. . . The senior
olaS, not ft group of seniors, attended that
meeting.
For the first time since we have been en
rolled in this school, too, there was some cvi
donee of real student interest in a construc
tive project. At the meeting, Kamsay's ex
planatory talk on a student union building
was cheered and applauded. No one in the
audience wot to sleep. The attendance was
fairly small, yet the 200 who were present
constituted a all-time record crowd for any
class meeting since the University of Nebraska
was'founded.
Innocents society, the traditional senior
men's honorary, has come to life. This, too,
I'or the first time 6ince we have been enrolled
in the University of Nebraska. The usual
method of "doing something," as practiced
among the Innocents, has been to "take over"
mi activity handled quite as well by some
other group. Now they are getting quite
concerned over a project all their oun. We
wish them hick. It is the first time such an
ulea has occurred to the group. There may
be a quite successful campaign for a union
building, if ths thirteen seniors do not lose
interest soon.
A fair beginning on the union building
project has been made. Not good, not bad.
Just fair. The attitude of the whole student
body, we believe, was accurately portrayed in
the naiv-B question of the class president:
"Well, nh, Ray, won't k be an awful lot
of work 5
It will. Quite a bit more hard work than
any student body has nndertaken for years.
The Innocents will have their hands full if
they actually attempt a campaign, either to
arouse interest, or to collect funds.
To mak a suecess of a union building drive
ou this eampw, the leaders will have to shake
the entira student body from a lethargy and
an indifference that has held them from tak
ing any active interest in their school for
decades. Habits of inaction, of doing as little
as possible, have prevailed among Nebraska
students for years. To break these "tradition
of indifference," to arouse the students to
any type of action, will take no little strategy
and no little work.
A fair beginning. "What will the results
be? Will any fcirth'er action be taken? 16
any student mtwested enough in a union build
ing to ask lor one?
A bigger question, far more, important, to
llie university than the matter of a union build
ing, is also involved. Whether the drive is
carried through successfully or not is inci
dental to the main issue involved.
Nebraska students have always Jacked elans
consciousness and school spirit. They have
always been blissfully asleep. Will they ever

say humorously called it, a real university
The first real test of the future progress of
1 he school has come. If the student body
cares enough about the university and about
its own welfare to erect a union building, there
is srreat hope for the future. If it does not.

little that is cheerful in the future of the in
We pay this realizing, of course, that but one
student in ten has read so much as the first
sentence of this editorial, and that iml one

It is that student ,to whom we appeal. He is

any other constructive project.

MORNING MAIL
Don't Tangle With Coeds!
TO THE EDITOR:
I notice in yesterday's paper quite, a long
editorial on "Silly Coed Rushing Rules." It
is true that the sorority rushing rules are quite
senseless, but I'm afraid you have made a tie
rious mistake in saying anything about them
at all.
It is difficult to try to inject any sense into
coed self-government on this campus, and I
can see nothing ahead for you but hot water if
you try. The rules arc silly, 1 admit, but the
coeds will rise up to the last girl, and defend
them.
There seems to be a tradition or something
at Nebraska that covers such situations. First
of all, the girls get together and make up a
rather sketchy set of regulations without much
sense to them. Then they organize a bunch
of "governing bodies," like A. W. S. board
and Panhellenic board, to administer these
rules. Thus are Nebraska women "self-governed."
Everyone realizes that the. iles are silly.
Everyone realizes that a much more sensible
and workable system of self-government could
very easily be fixed up for the women students.
But women are funny, and will fight for
their own peculiar way of running things. You
are making a mistake to monkey in the busi
ness. Instead of thanking you for suggestions,
they will be after your scalp. Women arc
funny that way.
NOX COMPOS.

TO THE EDITOR:
Col. W. H. Oury, commandant of the Ne
braska R. O. T. C. regiment, has, it seems, wan
dered too far afield. He has seen fit to fight
with words an agitation to take away from
military science on this campus its compulsory
feature. And his words, by his own admis
sion, are "poorly chosen."
And why not? Was the colonel given his
post because of his debating ability? No.
surely not. Then let him stick to his trade,
as the shoemaker sticks to his last. Let him
keep as far as possible from debates.
The colonel has been declared by military
students to be one of the ablest men in mili
tary matters who ever held the post he now
has. But, almost by his own admission, and
surely if judged by his actions, he is a poor
hand at public relations.
Let him run the military depart in em. He is
good at that. He knows that business. Let
him make that his sole objective, and forget
the agitation, which he takes as a personal
affront.
If he has not gone too far with his ib-bat-

SPECIAL ARTICLE
FOR PUBLICATION
An article, "Mathematics and
First Year Chemistry," by B.
Clifford Hendricks of the univer
sity appears in the January 1931
issue of "Science Education." The
paper was submitted at the re
quest of Dr. H. A. Webb who is
the associate editor in charge of
articles dealing with chemistry.
"Science Education" is a publi
cation concerned with the teach
ing of science in public schools
and colleges. Mr. Hendricks, on
the basis of his investigations and
own experiences, says that first
year chemistry may be taught
successfully to students with no
more mathematical training than
that attained through sixth
grade arithmetic. The students
must, however, be able to, think
the problems through as processes.

Professor Senning, "In never to al

frame of mind wherein the student
is found either subconscious or en

anyone dosing, I instantly prod
him with a question whlcii will

'Why should we get incensed
about some tired individual's
slumbering?" he queried resign
edly, "It won't do any rood to ap

Most sleepers are rouna amons;
the early morning classes, espe
cially early Monday morning lec

their 1 o'clock classes. Professor
Senning bears no grudges against
any of the offenders in his classes.

Are Winners. j
The Huskercttea and Kappa Phi i
last nlrht won from their oppo- I
nents by one-sided scores. The Hus

Kappa Alpha by a 19-0 score. The
Kappa Phi's managed to win from
the Alpha Omricon Pi's by a 12 to

by a 19-4 score from the Pi Beta
Phi. Phi Omega PI won from
Alpha Phi by a 14-4 count
The score at the half of both the
Huskerette-Alpha Kappa Alpha
and Kappa Phi-Alpha O game
stood 12-0. The guarding of both
the losing teams was better in the
second quarter which accounted
for the smaller number of points
made in the second quarter.
Both the Kappa Kappa Gamma

even tho the scores were ratner

Naturally, there must be a hero.
He should be a man from the

"Fashion" is filled with funny

quaint slang of another age. Al
though it has survived the ravages
of time, it has lost little of the
appeal which made it a hit in the

The withdrawal of intellectuals from the

much talent tn their membership that it is
great waste, for them to do nothing but elect
members.
There are functions which Phi Beta Kappa
could perform. The bringing of lecturer on
cultural subjects, the organization of the teach
ing profession to guard academic freedom, the
furtherance of research, of scientific discus
sions, the helping along of various other intel
lectual causes might all come within Phi Beta
