Two
Parades
tritv, ih n,iiv( ti martial music, the parade
Y 4 I ti IUV " - ' -
begins. Over the barren drill-field marches
platoon after platoon company alter com
pany, in the annual R. 0. T. C. compet. Spark
ling sun gleams on shining sabers and spurs.
Brilliant uniform of honorary colonel matches
the undertones of brown leather and olive
cloth of the officers. Symbolical of all that
touches the passion in man of all that over
rides his reason, the countless squads of school
boy soldiers go marching on, in nothing more
harmful than a yearly compet.
With the noise of the baud, too, another
parade beeins. Black-robed graduates wina
their way to the coliseum, row on row. to the
annual Commencement exercises. Sparkling
sun again, but in this parade it touches noth
ing more shining than the dull black of reason.
Both are memorable events in the lives of
Nebraska collegians and both are as diamet
rically opposed as the poles of the earth.
Two irreconcilable elements exist in man;
passion and reason. For unnumbered centuries
this conflict has continued. In the beginning,
passion alone held sway. Then there was but
oue parade the call to arms! Reason had lit
tle chance to make its appearance, and was
ubordinated and dominated by the. stronger
rorce of passion and emotion. If a man take
vour possession, strike him down! If you can
,iize his property and belongings, take them!
Gradually, however, reason has evolved.
True, it has not yet reached its goal: the gov
erning of human conduct, and the subordina
tion of passions to its ends. Even in the uni-,-erities
of the land, where reason can be ex
pected to hold forth over unmindful, unrea
sonable passion, there remains the conflict.
for the parade on the drill grounds is the
symbol of passion of ugly hatred stirring be
tween peoples. The soldiers themselves, bewil
dered by the glamor and the tinsel of the mock
warfare' of the university campus, are. nothing
more than food for cannon, to satisfy the
blood-lust of an unreasonable world. It is dif
ficult to picture these men now on parade
dropping right and left it is hard to visualize
whole companies wiped out by the bursting of
a shell yet it is for that purpose that they
are now 'being trained. And fulfill that pur
pose they will, though it mean the sacrifice
of all that they hold precious.
Perhaps a few would refuse, and perhaps,
1 oo, they would deserve the greater honor. But
the majority would go without a second
ihought, because reason has not yet come into
its own.
For ynturk-s more, perhaps, these two pa
rades will continue side by side upon our uni
versity grounds the one, black and somber,
the symbol of reason; the other, flashing and
glamorous, the symbol of hasty, unthinking
passion.
The Commencement parade goes forward to
da the thinking of the world. The men and
women comprifing its ranks have feelings, but
their feelings are not masters. Insofar as they
are true to the costume they wear, their pas
sions and their instinctive urge to irrational
battle are subordinated to their reason. And
reason governs their conduct with temperance
and wisdom.
Between these two, the military review that
glitters upon the. drill field, and the procession
of sober, black-robed figures, humanity must
rhoose. And to live, it must choose rightly.
There are many methods of assisting when
that choice is to be made. Today the issue is
still a dubious one: today much can be done
:o eliminate the tinsel and to replace it with
'.he solid metal of rational human thought.
If humanity is to live, the. R. 0. T. C. must
lie. Already it has vanished from the campuses
jf twenty-five of the leading educational cen
ters of the country. True enough, it lingers on
it Nebraska and at many other universities,
'jut so long as it does linger it invites disaster.
For after all, there is nothing that incites
in angry man to violence with such eff'ective
.ress as the means to do that violence, and the
iiiowledge of the power of the physical
, .veapon.
Regard the R. O. T. C the standing army,
:he navy, as toys if vou like. They are not.
They are vocational tnlr fields; useful only
in preparing future food for the guns of the
battleground.
Strip them of the gaudy. pe8ce-time decora
tions remove honorary colonels, the military
balls, the coed sponsors. Give the recruits,
eager for the romance of battle, a taste of
cooties and trench rations. Let them see the
real reason they are being sought to swell the
ranks to kill men, and in turn to be killed
When that is done, they Mil no longer swell
those ranks. Reason will have won its just
battle.

In Wisconsin, a negro is the outstanding fig
ure in forensic circles. He was honored above
all other members of the debating team upon
his own campus.
Yet Delta Sigma Rho, national forensic hon
orary, includes in its membership clause this
limitation: "Any person, not n negro . .
The University of Wisconsin chapter of the
honorary opposes the disqualification of their
negro star, but finds that it can do nothing
until the convention of the society in June.
Then an attempt to change the ruling will be
made. .
The Daily Cardinal, incensed at the unfair
discrimination, comments on the situation
forcefully and to the point :
"The University of Wisconsin cannot wait.
Now is the time to act. Any public speaking
society which designates itself as honorary
should be prepared to recognize nil individuals
on the campus who have been outstanding in
that field. If national rules are to the con
trary, disregard them ... If the national ousts
the chapter, organize a local and pave the
wav for an unbiased fraternity which will be
honorary and not conditionally honorary!"
"It is contrary to every liberal principle of
the University of Wisconsin to permit the ex
istence of such a society as Delta Sigma Rho
(as it now stands) and recognize it as an hon
orary." Upon our own campus no similar situation
has arisen. But it might arise, and when it
does we too shall be handicapped by such rul
ings and by precedent. It would be well, then,
to discard them, and to do it now.
Young people ought to be paid to go to
school. Henry Ford. O. K. Henry, start our
salary right away. And could you slip us ten

rather than tremble at the thought of what the

It is worth a trial, in all likelihood.

Sooner baseball team nearly mane
a triple play against Iowa State
here Friday.
With Cyclones on second and
third in the third inning and none
out, the batter drove a ground ball
to Shortstop Lobaugh of the Soon
ers, who threw him out at first.
Meanwhile Huntbach, Cyclone run
ner on second, hustled down to
third only to find that Gustafson,
his teammate, hadn't left the bag.
Andy Beck, Sooner first baseman,
ran across the diamond to third
base, tasked out Huntbach, who
tried to dodge back to second, and
thin threw out Gustafson at the
plate, Ray Watson handling the
putout. The Sooner team ran to
the bench.
However Umpire Roy Fisher
ruled that Beck hadn't tagged
Huntbach and the Sooner triple
play was scored only as a two ply
killing.
Editor of the New York University daily

Honorary Without Honor.
''Any person, not a nepro . . ." "With these
words the national constitution of Delta Sigma
Kho. honorary public speaking fraternity, de
fines the limitation of its membership rolls.
The University of Wisconsin chapter, op
posed to the disqualification of G. James Flem
ing, outstanding figure in forensics in the class
of 1931 here, finds that it can do nothing other
than wait for the national convention in
Jun. At that time, it intends to bring about a
change in the rules provided the southern
chapters will co-operate.
The University of W lsconsin cannot wait.
Now is the time to act. Any public speaking
society, which designates itself as honorary,
hsould be prepared to recognize all individuals
on the campus who have been outstanding in
that field. If the national rules are to the con
trary, disregard the rules and elect the man in
direct violation. If the national order ousts
you. organize a local and pave the way for an
unbiased fraternity which will be honorary
and not conditionally honorary.
Mr. Fleming has Avon many honors in foren
sics He has been honored by Phi Kappa Phi
and Phi Beta Kappa, both true honorary so
cieties. He has been elected to membership in
Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fra
ternity, and if professional organizations de
sire to discriminate, it is their own business.
No society may call itself honorary and dis
criminate against any student at the university,
who has the qualifications for election.
It is the duty of the officials of the univer
sity, the board of regents, and the legislature
to take immediate cognizance of the situation.
If there is a lapse, the affair will blow over
and be forgotten in the course of time. Delta
Sigma Rho, which cannot change its rule with
out a vote of ail the chapters, must drop it or
be dropped by Wisconsin. It is contrary to
every liberal principle of the University of
Wisconsin to permit the existence of such a
society and to recognize it as an honorary.
