All Hail-
A New Tradition.
Apropos of an editorial in the Sunday edi
tion of the Daily Nebraskan agitating for
manifestations of school spirit as a precursor
to the homecoming with the Jayhawks Satur
day comes the announcement in today's paper
of "the attempted instigation of a new tradition
for the University of Nebraska campus. The
proponents of the plan, Tassels, women s pep
organization, have long been an organization
encouraging and enacting visible evidences of
school spirit.
The lack of school spirit on the Husker
campus has long been the subject of much har
ried discussion by the small minority of Ne
braskans who are really imbued with a true
Cornhuskcr spirit. It is the opinion of a great
many alumni who are still enthusiastic boos
ters of their alma mater that the reason for
this lack of spirit is the absence of traditions.
This lack of enthusiasm, say those who
decry it, is entirely out of harmony with the
spirit of the plains from which all the Com
huskers have risen. The retiring and disinter
ested manner in which rallies are attended,
which attendance even unenthusiastic as it is
Sticks out like a sore thumb for its sparseness,
is a characteristic usually attributed to the
much touted reserved refinement of the east
erner and southerner. It is not in keeping
with Cornhuskcr heredity for Joe or Josephine
College to sit calmly approving when the cheer
leader does a back flip instead of wildly ap
plauding the 10-yard gain the yell king is
cheering. Yet, at every football game evi
dences of this very thing are all too generally
found.
Spirit, however, is only the secondary
purpose of the editorial. It is rather, the at
tempted instigation of a new tradition to which
wc are lending our approbation and encour
agement. "What a glorious sight it would be
to .see thousands of scarlet and cream balloons
suddenly released from captivity leap into the
air and soar towards the heavens carrying the
Cornhuskcr colors to their rightful place of
supremacv over all as the ball goes over the
opponents' line for the first time! What a
tradition for the homecoming game! "What a
sight to renew in the breasts of returned grads
the feeling of loyalty to their school as they
view once again the scarlet and cream, su
preme overhead and below on the gridiron !
The idea of the tradition was conceived
following the observation of the practice at
every game in another university of the middle
west. On this campus, however, it is the idea
to sell-the balloons only once a year for only
one game and that game at homecoming.
Perhaps there is a dearth of traditions on
the Husker campus. Perhaps the lack of them
mav be cited a reason for the relatively poor
evidence of school spirit manifest at all school
gatherings, athletic tilts, and the like. School
spirit is an intangible thing described only as
a swelling, choked sensation in one's breast as
he realizes himself a part of great and grow
ing institution symbolic of the ideals of the
earlv frontier such as is this Husker univer
sity. Here is presented an opportunity for
the creation of a new tradition; here is granted
an opening for agitators of school spirit to
lend growth to the embryologieal state in
which loyalty and outward enthusiasm for the
university now finds itself. ALL HAIL A
NEW TRADITION!
Innocents release plans for bitrgest rally
of the year! A truly big tonic which should
prove effective in stimulating students to
greater enthusiasm. RALLY!
Concerned With
Convocations.
Students having no eleven o'clock classes
Ihis morning will have an opportunity to start
1lic all university convocation series with the
fnvt speaker, Dr. Sylvanus G. Morley, well
known American archcologist.
During past years entirely too little re
cognition on the part of students has been
given convocation speakers, many of whom
were world-famous, as evidenced by the rela
tively small audience in attendance.
True, many kind hearted instructors dis
miss their eleven o'clock classes to avail cer
tain interested students the opportunity of
hen ring a certain speaker, but proportionately
speaking, the number of occupied sests in an
ordinary convocation is but a handful com
pared to the number one finds on the steps
of social sciences betweeu classes, for instance.
Other instructors, a trifle more zealous
perhaps, make attendance at a certain convo
cation compulsory for obtaining data for an
assignment, and these students form part of
the audience.
It is not, however, with these members of
the audience who are in attendance only as
a result of coercive measures being brought to
bear, that Me wish to deal. It is, rather, the
army of students who, having no eleven o'clock
classes, prefer to spend the hour in unproduc
tive effort or wasted and superfluous amuse
me.it rather than in listening to the digests of
years of labor expended by gentlemen of note
who lecture here every year in connection with
the university convocation program.
Too ninny students have, we believe, an
erroneous idea that the prime purpose of an
university education is the absorption of book
knowledge to ihe point where compiled statis
tics are repeated verbatim as if in response to
an electric switch. As much may be said of
1 lie advantages of such an education as may
be said favoriiiL' education bv the audition of
famous men of letters in their various fields.
It has been said by not a few authoritio;
thnt much of the benefit derived bv a student
during his four years of university training is
thp new trims he has fteouired the new onen
mindedncss with which he views new theories
and propositions, and the new aspect he takes
on many problems. These ideas may be ac
quired by the exchange effected by class dis
cussions, or group discussions instigated in
other associations not under faculty supervi
sion. A great many contemporary problems
and theories, however, are each year presented
from various angles by different eon vocal ion
speakers who have spent years of research,
meditation, collaborative discussion, compari
son, and exchange on their subject. Undoubt
edly a student's scope of knowledge and
breadth of understanding of new ideas would
be immeasurably widened if the material re
sults achieved by all the great speakers who
visit the campus were seized by each student,
and even thought not aeeepted, assimilated
with his general body of knowledge.
This morning at eleven o'clock, Dr. Mor
ley will speak at the Temple theater on obser
vations made during his years of exploration
and excavation in Central America where he
has been directing the Chiehen-Itza project
to uncover the remains of Mayan civilization.
Seventy-five hand colored slides including a
series of photographs taken by Col. Charles
Lindbergh in his South American tour two
years ago will be used to illustrate the lec
ture. These slides in connection with the sub
ject matter of the lecture a topic of present
day interest in which there is a good deal of
theorizing being manifest, will undoubtedly
prove to be full of a wealth of golden facts and
ideas. Every student whose class schedule
will permit him to attend the convocation owes
it to himself, his university, family and state
to do so. A regular class termed in the stu
dent's imaginative mind "convocation at
eleven o'clock whenever a speaker is sched
uled" would reap for the student inestimable
value.

TO THE EDITOR:
The honors given at Nebraska have at
various and sundry times been questioned for
different reasons. However, in choosing those
for University honors it does not seem fair to
discriminate 'against and to eliminate candi
dates from certain colleges of the university
itself. The Nebraska Sweetheart is not a Ne
braska Sweetheart when chosen from only a
certain part of the school. For this and the
following reasons the rules and election for the
new Sweetheart arc neither impartial nor just.
L The rule as made provided for certain
ihnt thp successful candidate would return the
following year to hold her place as queen,
therefore the rule that the candidate must ne
a sophomore or junior should not hold for those
in collecre wherein they do not take a degree
at the end of four years.
2. In regard to today s election the lacuny
committee checking eligibility did not have
the rule.
3. The rules of election were not given to
the candidates in proper time. Failure to pass
eligibility rules should be known before five
o'clock on the eve of the election.

TO THE EDITOR:
The Innocents Society is sponsoring an
All-University party at the Coliseum, the night
of Homecoming, October 24. This is the first
attempt ever made, with all fraternities, sorori
ties and the barbs co-operating, to have a big
party for the entire university. Heretofore,
the barbs and the Greeks haven't co-operated
either way in attempting to put across such an
affair.
The sponsors of this party are to be con
gratulated upon their efforts to put on a nomi
nal priced party, with the co-operation of all
the factions on the campus. The barbs, as
well as the Greeks as indicated above, have
agreed not to have any parties in conflict with
this affair. A good orchestra has been prom
ised, and if the plans of everyone concerned
go over the homecoming all-university party
will become one of the few real traditions that
we have at Nebraska.
Everyone, whether int- rested in factions
or not, should put his shoulder to the wheel
and help the Innocents put this party across.
Other schools in this section of the country are
doing it and there is no reason why the Corn
huskers can't. At Kansas university last year,
both the night before and the night of home
coming, a big all-university party was held in
the student union building. Almost a one hun
dred percent turnout of Greeks and barbs wag
had.
If the innocents can't put across a real
party with the entire university backing them,
then Nebraska hasn't that old spirit that was
so important a few years back, in fact,
throughout its long history. Good luck Inno
