A Question of
Human Relations.
As an outstanding contribution to construc
tive thot, we direct the attention of readers
to this morning's selection in the Newspaper
Talk column. It is entitled "The College Wife"
and is written by the much advertised Judge
Ren B. Lindsey, illustrious authority on human
relations.
A scanning of the judge's remarks immedi
ately causes one to reflect upon the situation
which exists in the world today. He suggests
that arrangements be made to accommodate an
apparently ready need in social relationship
between the sexes. At the same time he points
to a deplorable state of affairs.. Constructive
critics have in more recent years endeavored
to portray morality as the desirable thing, but
at the same time as being somewhat inacces
sible. Morality must coma thru education; so
far, evidently, we can point only to our im
morality which comes as a lack of education.
Judge Lindsey declares that marriage among
students is coming in greater order than it
now exists, whether or not colleges want to
recognize it. That noted writer proclaims
marriage as the natural thing and points in
io aimless manner to th urge for human re
i.iiidiiship, whether with marriage or without.
If it is "with marriage," he sees the dawn of
l new morality. He intimates that there will
ie brt about greater health, emotional stabil
ity, and a stimulation of the higher creative
faculties.
One thing is sure, there will be those who
think such a subject as 1his should not be
i.ikfii up editorially not in university publi
cations, at least. It is being taken up, never
i Ik less; for, be it known, human relationships
ire some of the greatest misunderstood factors
with which modern people are. concerned.
So one will argue the point of a need for a
iihw morality. Doubt arises, however, on the
premise of whether marriage among students
in colleges will bring that about.
There will be doubt since the angle from
u hich Judge Lindsey speaks is so startling new
i hat it sets" one agog. Perhaps it is true that
rarly marriages are impossible because of the
need of going to college before entering the
business world, and because of the average
youth's lack of money. But maybe it is just

The Fretkme?.
It is t akowf this time of year that the re
flective upper rlassman in most fraternities is
surveying with a critical eye, the freshtpan
crop of rush week. He looks at one and re
members with embarrassment the anxiety
which that f rosh caused him. He remembers
the. rumors of the brilliant prep school record
"big shot." and smiles with satisfaction when
he remembers that this or that man pledged1
elsewhere.
The average freshman coming to Nebraska
receives a great reception on his entrance to
college. He is made to fed his importance
f-arly in the game. He is made to feel that
he is king of the heap. His reign as king
lasts about a week. Then follows a period
which might be called acclimation.
Uurin? this period it is up to the freshmen.
Kit her they go their own way, becoming in
dividuals in their own right or else they go
'collegiate." By this time "the die is cast,
nnd the yearling is moulded. Altho it is not
ipparent to the freshman, it is unmistakable
0 the upper classmen.
The fjuestion which concerns upper class
men is "which way are the frosh going to
nirn." rpn the answer to that question
hinges the success of every fraternity upon the
:anipus. Upon that answer hangs success for
individual, fraternity and school.
Sage uppercIasKinen are overjoyed when
1 hey find a real individual among their pledge
group. They know that an individual will
build himself and build his organization and
school along with liim. He docs not have to
be pushed. He only wants to be helped. Joe
Colleges are abundant and annoying. Individ
ual college students arc rare and a pleasure
to see.
On every side of the campus we have ex
amples of men who were prize pledges of their
respective years. Their careers here have
never proved the fact, their high school rec
drds remain questionable and mythical glory.
These prep school kings are parasitical. Try
ing for no greater feats they live thruout their
ollecre life in the reflected glory of th?ir h'gh
school achievements. Fraternities try hard to
get these men, believing that they will continue
to do great things. But so often does the
serious fat head ailment set in that more often
than not these prizes turn in to white elephants
on the hands of the men's clubs.
It is fundamental for the freshman to real
ize that an honest and fearless response to
the individual ideal is of unquestionably
greater value than tagging along with the
crowd. Udou the freshman this year is fast
ened the internal strength of Nebraska for the
three years to come. Upper-classmen wake up
rather late to realize the mistakes and follies
of a brief college sojourn.
Agreeably Surprising
The Grad for Homecoming.
Appropos with the sentiment expressed in
an editorial in yesterday's edition of The Daily
Nebraskan, entitled "Waiting for that Letter
Which N'cver Comes," is the thot of the im
minent proximity of homecoming.
This year, more than ever before, home
coming at Nebraska should be advertised and
suDUorted. Perhaps Old Alan Fortune has not
been particularly kindly towards Old Joseph
Husker of the class of '98; maybe the price
of ten bushels of wheat would only just buy
the ticket to the homecoming game; maybe
now is the time for retrenchment ; but what
Homecoming is homecoming the time for
all the old grads to return and renew their ac
quaintance with former classmates to discuss
their wheat crop, their children, exchange reci
pes, and talk about the younger generation.
Homecoming also affords the opportunity for
old grads to make the acquaintances of their
former classmates' children; it is the occasion
for former students to look up their old in
structors and enjoy an exchange of views and
experiences; laugh over that old term paper.
Many of the grads need oniy a little prodding
a little encouragement a little confidence
that their presence is wanted; that the school
is still the same old school as far in spirit, but
a beautified, improved, and glorified institution
surrounding that spirit. They will enjoy wan
dering thru the halls of University hall and
reminiscing of their experiences there; but
Cornhuskers of an earlier period will thrill to
see the beautifully equipped dental clinic, the
soon-to-be-completed swimming pool, the won
derful museum collection in Morrill hall.
A letter from the university might recall the
event to mind Nebraska homecoming, but a
personal letter from the son of an old school
mate who is in school now will just about cinch
Joseph Husker on the proposition of home
coming for himself and family in Lincoln on
Oct. 24.
In this case, grads are not waiting for letters
that never eome,but they might be agreeably
surprised by receiving a lettter inviting them
back to homecoming.
NEWSPAPER TALK
'The College Wife.'
Sex is exerting a powerful and deeply dis
turbing influence on the life of youth in the
higher educational institutions of today.
the problem which confronts many college
students is easily stated. It consists in the
fact that they are in their early twenties at
the natural age for marriage, and can't afford
marriage.
But that is not true of all of them. In the
large co-educational colleges of the west there
is a considerable, and increasing, number of
couples getting married and married couples
doing either undergraduate or graduate work.
I have met many of them; and in talks with
various deans and presidents I have learned
that such students are dependable, reliable, and
steady in their work; that they study dili
gently; that they present no disciplinary prob
lem; and that they have a mature outlook on
life.
In some cases these young couples are for
tunate enough to have independent incomes,
or enough money to see them through college.
In some instances the parents help them out.
The solutions are various. The point is that
they work the thing out shoulder to shoulder,
and regard their college work as a job just
as truly as if they were out actually earning
wages. It is at least a preparation for wage
earning.
.... There are not many of these marriages
as yet; but their number is increasing. Why
some distinguished educators do not approve
of a tendency at once so healthful and so sane
it is difficult to understand; but I can only
conclude that they have not considered the
facts from all angles.
1 feel that if this tendency toward early mar
riage among certain young people desiring
marriage could be encouraged, and could have
wise and scientific direction, it Mould make
for much more healthful conditions of morality
than exist in our colleges at present.
I suggest that if our college authorities ever
wake up to the fact that here is a constructive
way to help with the sex problem in the col
leges, they will help things along; and that
if they do not, the thing is coming anyway.
It is a question of making marriage possible
and safe for the college '"students that want
thus to order their lives. For all such it will
be a great aid; for those not desiring marriage
it can do no harm, for of course I am not
proposing that all college students gft married
while in college. In and out of college, that
venture in life, and its success or failure, is
up to the individual.
The old morality, with its typical family of
ten children, is gone today. The wage system,
with its limited income for industrial workers,
could not maintain them. Reproduction of the
species i, no longer the sole function of erotic
passion indeed, it is reduced to a secondary
role. Whether we approve it or not, the chief
function of sex under our present form of
civilization is the contribution that its satis
faction makes to health and emotional stability
and to the stiinulaion of he higher creative
faculties.
For the greater part of a decade I have
been pointing out what to me is the obvious
remedy for a condition that is fast drifting
into moral anarchy. Shall we bring it under
social control, or by our conspiracy of silence
or lack of courage let it continue to run wildt

CHANGES OF TEXTS
Kansas Council Condemns
Constant Adoptibn of
New Books.
Dallv Kanpn.
A "uersonat library" of obsolete
used textbooks for which there is
no cale will be definitely done
away with if the action taken last
night by the Men s siuaeni council
bears out tne purpose mienaeu.
The resolution, presented by Stan
ley Toland, 132. voices the com
plaint toward unnecessary and fre
quent changes in text books, in
many instances making a new
book usable only one semester; the
stuaent then finds himself unable
to sell the book when he has fin
ished with it.
The resolution nassed by the
council is as follows:
"Whereas, the frequent changing
of text books and case books used
In many of the courses of the uni
versity curriculum not only re-
nuires the student to buy new
books at high, and oftentimes ex
cessive prices, but also leaves no
market on the campus for their
old books, and,
"Whereas the subject matter In
the various courses offered in the
university curriculum does not
change so often as to either jus
tify or require the adoption and
use of new books every year or
two: therefore
Practice is Condemned.
"fie it resolved, by the Associ
ated Men of the University of Kan
sas, that this practice of changing
textbooks and casebooks is hereby
condemned and the chancellor is
ureed to take such steps as are
necessary to prohibit the changing
of textbooks or casebooks in any
course any oftener'than is abso
lutely necessary, (that this period
of use, relevant to the length of
time a text is to bo used is to be
left to the discretion of the chan
cellor) and, that the department
heads shall decide and select the
books to be used in that depart
ment, rather than to leave it to an
instructor's choice.
"Be it further e3olved, that the
president of the Men's Student
council present these resolutions
to the chancellor and urge upon
him prompt action in the matter.
Resolution Greeted Favorably.
The resolution immediately re
ceived much favorable comment
from the representatives of the va
rious schools who mentioned in
stances from their own experiences
to carry out the need of such ac
tion. In connection with the move,
it was pointed out that books were
frequently changed when new pro
fessors entered the faculty, ana
cases were also cited in which dif
ferent instructors used different
books in teaching the same course.
Throughout the discussion of the
resolution, it was pointed out that
actual hardships on students were
actuated because of the many un
necessary changes. To , further
complete the case of the resolu
tion, a committee was appointed
to study conditions from the va
rious departments and schools. The
committee chosen was: Stanley
Toland, 1'32, chairman; Robert Dill,
c'33; and Marvin Johnson, c'32.
This committee will start work im
mediately in preparation of the
case.

not been launched by the various
presidents, the Yellow Jackets will
then present their resolution, Det
rick announced.
"On the other hand." Detrick
pointed out, "if the Blue Shirt
presidents actual'y accomplish
something beneficial before the
next Student Council meeting, we
will withhold our resolution and
co-operate with them in the organ
ization of classes and the under
taking of a program which will
unify class sentiment. We believe
that it is their part, since they
hold the key men, to inaugurate
any class movement, but once they
do we are willing to join with
them."
Regret Abolition.
It is of no benefit to any par
ticular faction or political group
to see the abolition of a worth
while campus tradition, Detrick
explained. But once traditions
become useless and are merely
political sinecures it is to the ad
vantage of the student body as a
whole to eliminate them, he re
marked.
"We believe that the duties of
class presidents have been moving
in an absolutely negative direction
during the past year and a half,"
said Detrick. "Blame for this
mut not be laid at the door of any
faction but rather to student atti
tude. Complaints for lack eft im
provement, however, must be cen
tered on the party controlling
these posts, whichever one it bap
pens to be, and that is why we re
declare that if campus attitude
cannot be changed through imme
diate action of class officers, we
shall present our resolution recom
mending the abolition of class
presidencies."

MANY AT PROGRAM
IN MORRILL HALL
Capacity crowds filled the down
stairs auditorium of Morrill hall
on the University of Nebraska
campus Sunday for the first of a
series of free programs. Miss Mar
jorie Shanafelt is director. The
children's program at 2:30 p. m.
featured a film showing excava
tion of Egyptian tombs near
Luxor, and the discovery of mum
mies. Another picture, "When Day
is Done," showed sunsets in all
parts of the world. A ten minute
musical program preceded tne
films. Eunice Bingham, violinist
and student with August Molzer,
accompanied by Miss Margaret
Baker, pianist and pupil of Gene
vieve Wilson, presented three se
lections. The same program was
presented for adults at 4:15. The
films were from the Metropolitan
Museum of Fine Arts in New
York. Programs are planned on
Sundays thruout the winter.

Work on the swimming pool
under the field house stage is also
progressing satisfactorily, Coach
Vogeler said yesterday, .and com
pletion of the work by the first of
December is almost certain.
Construction at the present has
reached the stage of insulating the
ceiling to prevent the echoing re
verberations common to many in
door pools. This work will prob
ably be completed by the end of
this week, the swimming coach
said. Installation of tiling, which
will completely cover the pool, the
floor, and extend on the walls as
far as the windows, will be begun
as soon as the tile arrives.
While work is being carried on
on the ceiling, the floor around the

has been poured, tiles will be in

built on three sides of the pool.
About 1000 spectators will be able
to view aquatic events in the Ne
