Something
Has Stirred!
The present editor prives his concluding re
marks on this page today. A new editor will
soon be chosen and policies will naturally be
changed in some form or other. Until that
new editor is officially seated in the editorial
-hair, the present managing editors will fill
these two columns.
""With but hardly one month of clashes pone,
it has been difficult to formulate definite plans,
procedures, and campaigns. One month is
hardly a long enough time in which to get
started, let alone accomplish much.
Yet, The Daily Nebraskan feels that some
thing,' at least, has been stirred. The campaign
to reduce social expenditures on the Corn
husker campus has received favorable atten
tion. The "nickel-saving" move has beeen ac
claimed widely.
At $o time, it i. again reiterated, has The
Daily Nebraskan demanded that downtown
parties, be abandoned. That would be unneces
sary, impractical, and futile.

ni..n in trim dnwn on the more unnecessary
features of expensive university parties. This
includes the three major formal functions of
ibis vear as well as other activities among stu-
.irius which imply the spending of money lor
pure frivolity and items which pass their use
fulness with the break ot a new day.
Favors at parties have been tabooed. Deco
a! for the present. Fancy
bids e$n be done without. .Refreshments are
Ralloons and confetti can be used
in moderation if at all. Orchestras can be hired
;it c hooper prices. That is the gist of the
whole matter.
All of these things make for bigger and bet
ter parities. They are swelV during those bigger
and b-ttter years. This is not a campaign
to boycott concerns which exist largely upon
the indulgence of rampid money spenders.' It
is, merely, a hint that those businesses . will
do well to wait for a return of times similar
to thosfe which gave birth to their occupations.
Cham a thy will do so much better then.
Most students are realizing that it makes lit
tie difference from where the money comes
which finances their school careers; it is cer
tainly true that that money was a long time
coming. How to spend that money in the best
manner and make of that career, which each
siudent has be sun, a full course which will
end in graduation that is the individual prob
lem. In most families, there is a certain amount
which has been bwdgt-ted to education of the
upstarts who are to propel the family name
on into another generation. In those Bame
numerous families, it ie safe to say that amount
is not as great as it was hoped it might be.
That is' m!i'-n be trimming on school ex
penses should bgin. Book learning comes first,
n the generally excepted order of things; social
education next. Tr "first" ranst be protected
agaust outlaw fir th "second," then, is where
tb stasbfog befengs.
Jf neffedt social traininsr. someone ob
Jr.e'te. w shall reduce our refinements. True,
butifc k miKh better to bo barbarians in the
handling of our demi-tasse tnan it. is to be high
powered swell with the mentality of perma
nent twcrJve-j'far-olds.
And all that, you ask, arises from the ques
tion of cutting out decorations and favors and
so forth? Well, it i the perpetuation of uni
versity careers which interests this newspaper.
And one can't go to school long as an ab
solute pauper.
In regard to other matters discussed by the
editor, no definite summing up can be made.
Vocational education shall always be a bone
of contention among educators, yet this writer
believes it is one of the greatest blessings to;
the thousands seeking advancement in the
v. orld today. Criticism has been filed by The
Iaily Nebraskan because of excessive demands
of the state upon the university when adequate
funds are not provided with which to carry on
the wofk. If there are not enough funds, ex
pansion should be. baited. Similarly, if in
structojs cannot be held because of 1 lie same
lack iif funds, this newspaper has recom
mended that enrollment lie curbed and the
building program be cut to the extent that a
greater. amount of money can be converted into
snlnrie. University buildings, be it known,
are fake and valueless if the correct instruc
tional gtnfff cannot bp maintained.
A)ido, thin editor leaves you. It is much
to hisjregret, for be has enjoyed the duties
of thisnosition ns a medium for student voice.
Much tco-operation has befallen this humble!

pxpcclfttions had led him to believe he could
obtain! Faculty and students and administra
tion hfive fallen in with the program of econ
omy ilnd much thot has been procreated in
even such a short time. We part with a hope
that the "nickel-saving" move will bring rewards.
The Cornhusker picture deadline is already
burning the headlines a godsend to managing
editors of Daily Ncbraskans.
An eastern school has instituted a course in
bridge. Our dental college has been doing that
for a long inic.
Frcthmen
Cap$-Off and On.
Surely, Mr. Zip, you must understand that
when a freshman is ordered to put his cap on
he can't take it off officially until he is
ordered to do that, also. Freshmen, you must
remember, are a peculiar kind of individuals
who are brot to these campuses as playthings
and tools of upperclassmcn. They are also
brot to harass the sophomores, but it happens
that successive brow beating on the part ol
B. M. 0. C. 's in the past his wiped out prac
tically all of the harassing, hazing and any
thing that might be interpreted as class spirit.
Of course, those things had probably gone too
far, causing them to become abolished: but
there ought to be something that will take the
bovs and girls off their crutches.
It has been suggested that a tug-ot-war be
staged before the caps are taken from first,
year scholarly domes. Now that has been
swung into action and a tug-of-war it shall be.
All glory to the rreshmen and their contest
mav it lie conquest tor someone.
there is room for more conventional ideas in
this modern university. Individuals, of course,
do not want to be entirely conventional, nor
should they; but. universities are built upon
tthe conventionalities of the past. The place
to brand such things into a student is when he
is a freshman. Give him something to do that
all others have done before him. Make hiin
feel as tho the things he does are necessary as
a part to his scholastic career. Cause him to
know that he has become entangled within
ties that, bind him ever closer 'to what may
soon be an Alma Mater.
This tug-of-war can become a responsibility
to which freshmen will look with eagerness.
HOMECOMING PLANS

Decoration Contests
Last Year.
The Columbia freshman, it is reported, docs
not smoke, drinks two glasses of milk each
day, eats spinach regularly, and prefers
swimming. Oh. you hellions!
University of North Carolina students arc
proposing a fine for absence from classes.
Then it will be the high cost of not going
to school.
The October Issue of the Ne
braska Alumnus appears today.
The theme of this Issue is the
Homecoming program which will
take place Oct. 23 and 24. The
cover design displays pictures of
the winners in last year s competi
tion for homecoming decoration
honors. The Nebraska Alumni as
soctation, according to the Alum
nus, will move its headquarters
from the Temple building ta the
Coliseum where special registra
tion tables for each of the gradu
ated classes have been arranged
An article by Chancellor E. A.
Burnett entitled "The New Canv
pus Quadrangle" explains the pre
sent plans for the development of
the mall under construction and of
the mall between Mori ill hall and
the Coliseum and of the building

A travel bureau has been estab

clinics and round table discussions
will be concluded by a migration
to Lincoln Saturday to attend the
Kansas football game.
An announcement was made
that after June 1, 1932 that a life

Faculty Backs Event .
Since t' i plans as presented by
the Innoi.-nts has been accepted bo
enthusiastically by both faculty
and students, it is virtually assured
that such a party will become Hn
annual event.
Tickets which were placud on
sale Wednesday night are selling
very rapidly, according to Marvin
Srhmld. president of the Corn
Cobs, who are officially in charge
of all ticket sales. For those stu
dents and alums who have no
member of Pi Epsilon Pi working
on the ticket sales in their house
there will be one man selling them
in the office of the Daily Nebras
kan every afternoon.
MORNING MAIL
The. Tug of War.
TO THE EDITOR:
It looks as tho class presidents are going
to justify their existence by doing something
beside getting their pictures in the Corn
husker. The Innocents society has authorized
the presidents of the freshman and sophomore
classes to pick teams for a tug-of-war to decide
whether the freshmen may discard their iden
tifying headgear or keep them until the first
snowfall. Thus the object of this struggle is
to decide whether the freshmen must wear or
not wear something which they never wear
anyway.
Such an idea is pure irony. If the fresh
men wore lheir caps all the time and did not
dislike wearing them, things would rbe. differ
ent. As it is, the average frosh doesn't like
to wear his cap. It is either too larere or too
small, it musses up his hair, it is hard to keep
on, and in general it doesn't improve his self
confessed good looks.
The tradition of freshmen caps seems to be
slowly but surely dying. And Nebraska can
not afford to lose any of its few remaining
time-honored customs. Such a tradition as the
wearing of caps by freshmen should be kept.
Almost all of the biggest schools have such
a custom and they enforce it. Nebraska should
do likewise. The freshmen should enter into
the spirit of the custom and promote it.
It is to be hoped that the planned tug-of-war
will somewhat revive this dying tradition.
Maybe it will establish a precedent for another
tradition. At least it should instill some class
spirit into the students and make thorn better
friends.

Foul Play in Rushing.
TO THE EDITOR:
The Pan-Hellenic Council of the University
of Nebraska changed its rushing rules this
year. An ettort was made to overcome a tew
of the many difficulties encountered "during
past years. Each year a few new rules are
added, old ones changed, or discarded; but
the perfect system remains yet to be found.
Take, for instance, the rules governing the
Wednesday night party. Sororities were re
quired to have, their written invitations at
Ellen Smith hall, where the rushees were to
call for them. From numerous actual reports,
this is the way the invitations were handled :
All of the invitations were placed on one large
table. The rushees entered the room, as many
as possible at one time, and simply hunted until
each girl found her own. Perhaps one. girl
had several invitations, or perhaps she had
none. Nevertheless she continued to search for
the invitation she desired.
There not only Mas reat possibility of foul
play, but. it actually did occur. One girl, who
was absolutely certain of two invitations, as
later testified by the two sororities in question,
never did find her invitations. This imiurally
led her to believe she was not ever being
considered by any, and even later, apologies
and explanations failed to console her wounded
feelings and pride.
Surely some scheme could be deised w here
a person in charge could supervise the distri
bution of invitations, and make some sort of
check on the rushees as their invitations are
presented to them. Even an alphabetized list
would help vastly.
True, the time was short and the work heavy
for those in eharpe; yet a little more time and
order would have saved worlds of inconveni
ence for both sororities and rushees, not to
mention the heartaches spared.
The defects of this system will have to be
remedied before the next rushing season.

SHOWS DESIRE TO CO

OF NATIONS.
(Continued from page three.)
h::. aroused within Japan a favor
able attitude toward harsh meas
ures. Certain sections of Japan
ese public opinion do not, however,
agree with this attitude.
China, through the Nanking
government, now demands evacu
ation of Japanese troops from that
territory but the Japanese have re
plied that they are entitled to pro
tect their nationals and their eco
nomic interests. Japan refuses to
move troops out until a diplomatic
settlement is reached.
"At the same time," Professor
Hill showed, "the Chinese declare
they will noi open negotiations
until the Japanese have evacuated
the disputed territory."
Under its covenant, the League
of Nations has the power to ap
point a committee to investigate
the trouble and recommend certain
diplomatic settlements. Under the
Kellogg pact there is no definite
provision for the enforcement of
its articles which declare that na
tions signing it lall use diplo
macy rather than militarism in
settling international disputes.
Japan and China are both signers
of this pact along with the United
States and nearly all of the Euro
pean states.
"The Manchurian difficulty,"
Professor Hill concluded, "will test
the strength of the international
diplomatic machinery which the
League of Nations is able to set
up. It is hoped that an amicable
agreement can be reached, for
warfare would effect the world at
large, as well as the nations involved."
TERRY RETURNS EAST
AFTER CAMPUS STAY
Editor of League Chronicle
Believes Disarmament
Is Necessary.
Dr. J. Wm. Terry, editor of the
Leaeue of Nations Chronicle, an
international magazine published
for the explanation of the eco
nomic and commercial condition of
the several countries who have
membership in the league, com
pleted his series of talks in Lin
coln Wednesday afternoon and
left for New York, where he will
conduct several lectures.
Dr. Terry spoke in several of
the business clubs and in the
classes at the university. He dis
cussed important economic ques
tions of the day. Dr. Terry be
lieves that if t'h impending dis
armament conference in Geneva
fails there will be a great chance
of another war.
"England," Dr. Terry says, "is
the only nation that has a system
intermediary to the demands of all
other countries. There are ex
tremes, one entirely opposed to
any disarmament at all, the other
for complete reduction of arms to
the extent of rendering the possi
bilities of war to the smallest de
gree." Dr. Terry also believes that
it will be many years before the
nations can come to an agreement
satisfactory to all, regarding the
aisarmament question.
Russian Question Important.
"The Russian question is of im
mediate importance, as is the part
the United States will take in the
conference," emphasized Dr. Terry.
"We must keep our eyes on Russia
and note all changes and advances
made by this lone nation."
Dr. ferry laid emphasis on the
entrance of the United States to
the World court, saying that it
would then be only a question of
time before complete peace would
dominate.
Dr. Terry has traveled consid
erably and plans to attend the
coming disarmament conference in
Geneva. There are several repre
sentatives of The Chronicle in
Geneva now, and Dr. Terry plans
to serd all information, during the
conference, to the people of the
United Sfates as soon as possible,
so thrtt Americans may read and
understand the attitude and aims
of each nation.

A recent survev made by Music
Corporation of America, world's
largest orchestra managers, re
veals that more than 50 percent
of the nationally known orchestra
leaders attended college and that
70 percent of the musicians em
ployed in orchestras are men of
university training.
The survey, according to juics
C. Stein, president of Music Cor
poration, disclosed many interest
ing things about collegiate orches
tra leaders and musicians.
In almost every instance they
beiran playing while in school with
campus or fraternity orchestras.
Many worked tneir way mrougu
school and made side money by
playing in orchestras. Sixty per
cent of the collepe bred leaders
left school to follow music rather
than to finish their college educa
tions.
Included in the long list of well
known orchestra leaders who at

Dean Tells New Students
Must Develop Own
Individuality.
Telling of the difficulties ot
mainlining a scholastic average,
Dr. T. J. Thompson, dean of stu
dent affairs, spoke at the meeting
of the freshman council of the uni
versity Y. M. C. A., Wednesday,
Oct. 14. in the Temple.
"Many students have the mis
apprehension that the dean's of
fice is to put students out of
school. Such is not the case. We
are always willing to give the stu
dent the benefit of doubt and are
willing to help him in any way,"
stated Dwui Thompson.
Emphasizing the need for stu
dents to avoid failure In develop
ing iheir own individuality. Dean
Thompson went on to fay that too
many students allow themselves to
be run in the mold.
"The curriculum in any college
necessarily restricts a student," he
continflt'd "A student must ex
pose himself to the helpful influ
ence ot good literature, hear good
music and see pood plays. Culti
vating tho faculty members is an
other good plan."
The freshman council of the
university Y. M. C. A. has been
meeting regularly since the begin
ning: of school. An attendance of
twenty is the usual membership,
but oitcn the meetings have t.lirty
