And Now We Have Action! '-Dan-Hellenic council is the l'irst orjraniza lion on the campus to make a definite move toward party expenditure curtailments. At the present time this group is questioning each sorority within its membership as to the proce dure those separate houses shall take in staging representative parties. Here is something definite: something laudible. The Daily Nebraskan has demanded from no one that parties be discarded from the social budget, nor has this newspaper de manded that even the expensive features of those parties be discontinued for this year. There is, rather, a suggestion being made that many parties be continued, but on a cheaper scale; there is a request being made that a careful study of party budgets be conducted and that those highly mounting decorations and favors bills be cut to a minimum or done away with entirely.. Have your parties is the credo, but have them cheaper! The ran-Hellenic council does not bind it self as to whether it shall ask its members to cut down on expenses. " The council may never do that. But it does admit, thru its action, that there is a conceivable need for curbing of extravagant social affairs. m ' Perhaps, now, it is in order for the Inter I'raternity council to conduct a similar move. There is'no harm in it. of course. It is well, in fact, for various organizations to air their views on the situation and to take stock of what is at hand. Perhaps a loosening of ideas will bring forth a concensus of opinion that what is actually needed is a reduction in the '.'oncral party expense of every fraternity and siiorily on the campus. Perhaps there is a IVar that if certain groups actually do cut on the frills of their own parties, other groups will take advantage and throw that much more of a gala affair, thereby bringing about for the laller a so-called better rating on the campus. An airing of ideas on the floor of the Inter fraternity council chamber will be a long step toward something concrete. Both the Pan-Hellenic, council and the In tcrfraternity council can do much in fostering a move for cheaper social functions. These groups control .the action?, of a large percent age of university sludents. Students, as a whole, are interested in reduced social expendi tures and will do iinything to further a means toward that end. Comment over the. state in the weekly n-w.'.papers as well as in all daily publications points to an anticipated success in this move io cut parly ros,t. Parents of practically every Miii'ient lure are openly anxious that some thing be done. They realize-That the socin .ide of life is important and they are interested in seing lhal n 2 odly portion of it goes on. Tliey are inir desirous, newTllicl('S 1 hat it ! o done civ a pit . One of 1he more cosily items of a down lovn n.irty i.N that of invitations. Many are slauneh in the belief that bids must be sent out if the party is to be exclusive 1o the extent that has becD intended and if the affair is to be a success. There is much 1o say for lliis and the point -will not be argued. There is one thing, however, that must be admitted. It is better to have a parly without bids than to have no party at all. As a happy medium between ihe two that of having a party with expcnsie bids and that of haing no parly would it not be possible to send out an ordinary slip of paper bearing the printed information? The two Creek councils could probably jet their heads togdher and devise standard invitation which all fraternities and sororities can; use. Details as to place and date could be changed according to the desires of each group. Of i-ourse, it would be nothing like having in dividual and distinctive bids, but 1h idea is to tut costs and it's got to be done somehow. Perjiaps there are better methods. Perhaps there is no need for bids. ""Both "f lliese councils have already adopted standard rush cards which all fratern ities and F'j-oi-ities. respectively, are required to use. It is conceivable, then, lhat the idea can be carried further. .Tnd, my Gosh ! quarter exams again ! Almost time for first 'Hello Day' Will Create Friendship. "It will go a long way toward bringing hack a friendly spirit on the campus and to ward getting away i'roni the clique idea." A prominent woman student made that statement. There are hundreds -who will ,ec nnd it. It is an acknowledgement that, the ''friendly opirit" is lacking on the Husker rampus.' It admits Hint Homething must be done. Hel'o Day" Marls this morning as a proposed new tradition in the university. The A. W. S. board has planned that every upper classman offer a cheery "hello" to every stu dent wearing a green button or a scarlet and cream cap. This, it is believed, will bring students closer together. Such a move, it is thought, will bring back a friendly spiiit. Students, apparently, are beginning to feel the need of closer acquaintanceship. Far too many are just going to classes. They know not with whom they rub elbows, if they allow themselves to get that close to their neighbors. They know not with whom they discuss class room problems. Yea, they know not even the professor who stands before them several times each week. Students pass off friendship with a cold shoulder. Cold bloodedness is the mark of dis tinction 'midst campus throngs. The look-out-for-yourself idea is the motto of each individ ual. What there should be is the desire to assist, the urge to know one's company with the hope that some mutual benefit can be de rived. It is hoped that "Hello Day" will In- a great success. May there be many more such moves that will foster a greater feeling of friendliness. The Cornhusker campus is void of school spirit. Here is a small start toward bringing back the surging inyyulso of "fiaht" which the fathers must have had in their veins when the university was founded. Students must become college minded ! FEATURE BLUEPRINT Cover of First Issue Has Pictures of Capital And DeBaufre. MORNING MAIL Surprised, to Say the Least. TO THE ED1TOJI: It is with a great deal of surprised inter est that 1 learn that the university has a "zoo department" according to a recent headline in The Daily Nebraskan. Needless to say, it is extremely embarrassing for me to confess my previous ignorance on this subject. Having lived in Lincoln all my life, I was under the impression that the "zoo" (if such) at Ante lope park was the only one in the vicinity. But it seems I have grown up with the wrong impression, fori now learn that our own university'is the possessor of a zoo. It is al ways extremely interesting to learn new things, and 1 wish to extend a sentimeut of apprecia tion to our dear campus newspaper. CRATEFl'L ST I'D K NT. Maybe It's Propaganda. TO THE EDITOR: 1 note in today's I?ag what ihe World Herald has to say about us. Why specifically place the blame on the university regents, chancellor, and faculty.1 If it is recognized that the student body is. after all. what makes a university, how shall major interests in clr.-m-istry, engineering, business administration, law , dentistry, teaching, and the numerous other branches be reconciled to the responsibility of financing a publication dealing with only one phase of a liberal education literature ? He cause the World-Herald is concerned with lack of financial support, with emphasis on $2oO.UO appropriations, two hundred student subscrip tions, etc., I wonder if the World-Herald is so sincerely concerned with the loss of this dis tinctive tradition to the university; or if it is more concerned with doing business in a state which may claim the smug satisfaction of "na tional recognition" for a university project of the tvoe the Prairie henooner represents.

Construction of this building which will begin as soon as possible, will invove an expen diture of about $80,000. Improvements will not be con fined to Lincoln and Omaha but will include Curtiss.

Their purpose is to provide a particular lype of entertainment for the student of modesl means."

The Daily Nebraskan proposes that the fired letter societies cut out their expensive downtown parties and reduce the number of houBe parties during the year. What should bring more cheer to many a Nebraska pa mil is lhat several of the societies have decided to follow the editorial suggestion. Those down town parties are wonderful affairs, which make high spots in Ihe memories of Ihe boys and girls to cherish through later life, and no one begrudges them this joy when economic onditions arc more in keeping. But 42-cent wheat, :j()-ceut corn, and reduced .incomes hardly permit of such lavishness. To 1he pa rents of some university students, the cost of these entertainments mean liltle more now lhan they ever did. The, average, however, can ill afford this supplement cost of educating their sons and daughters now. Consequently, in such times of reduced incomes, the continuance of unnecessary costs might tend to force many fine boys and girls out of the' fraternities and sororities and make the societies nests of snobs and exclusive cliques with a money standard raised against the bulk of the university stu dents.

Note: Upon which the edilor blushes. There is one point, however, which should be corrected: The Daily Nebraska is not advo cating, necessarily, the culling out of down town parties; merely, rather, a culdown on the expenses of those parties.

From the inception of a building design, telephone engineers work hand in hand with the architects. They determine the telephone needs of thousands of future tenants. Then they plan cable shafts rising from cellar to 'roof and the grid of under-floor ducts that will put telephones within easy reach of every occupant. There's a real thrill in working out ihese plans, for without telephones the immense structures of today would hardly be practicable. HELL SYSTEM A NATION. WIDE SYSTEM OF INTER. CONNECTING TELEPHONES
