the opinion of nil students iind faculty, li
would then seem logical th atKosimt Kl'il

Students used to come to class early so they
could find a place to park their ears. Now
they come late so they won't have to spend so
much time deciding which place to take.

A scientist has found that it is a custom in
some parts of the world to eat clay and various
other soils. Perhaps this will help fraternity
men to explain some of the things they have
been getting.

Mr, mid Mrs. li. L Wilcox, was married to Ivobert Uill, Kappa

The University of Wisconsin Daily Cardinal

merely a tradition on this campus.

Fixing the
General Aim.
Somewhat out of the usual order of 1 lungs,
a new editor assumes his position after the
editorial shoos have already been warmed by
his predecessor. lie takes over his duties after
things have been set in motion. Perhaps The
Nebraskan readers are interested in what will
happen to the policies already promulgated.
Some, no doubt, are anxious to see a change,
others wish a continuance of the past policies,
especially the economy program.
The fact that the new editor has been taken
from outside of the regular staff of The Ne
braskan may be an added cause for the reader
to take note of what things The Nebraskan
will advocate. The tasks of editorship are as
a rule assigned to the journalist who carries
on according to the established conventions of
his profession. It should not be surprising,
then, if matters arc not presented in the ortho
dox manner.
Problems that have always perplexed stu
dent editors will be disposed of as they appear.
To outline a program for the remainder of the
semester would be an act as meaningless as a
political faction platform. Altho the well
known bridges may he vieivcd off in the dis
tance, they cannot be crossed until they arc
at hand.
To reflect the student opinion, to give rise
to constructive thought on the part of the stu
dents, and to bring about a higher regard for
the university and its purposes by the students
rml the public, shall be the general aim of
this newspaper.
Some folks go to school because they can't
find any work. Others go to school so they
won't have to work.
These Eligibility
Rules for Popularity.
Who shall be eligible for Nebraska Sweet
heart! seems to be the theme song of many a
heated argument at present. Kosmct Klub,
the organization fostering the election and pre
sentation of the sweetheart, has stirred up con
siderable excitement by making an eligibility
rule specifying that this sweetheart must be
either a sophomore or a junior in the univer
sity. Those aspirants for the honor who have
over eighty-nine credit hours, according to the
new ruling, are ineligible.
Law students, and perhaps several others,
have declared their disapproval of this ruling.
As a result of one of the candidates, a law
student, being thrown out of the race, the
reigning queen of the Kosmet court has re
signed her position. It is her contention, and
also the opinion of those objecting to the eligi
bility rule, that the Nebraska Sweetheart
eould not be a representative of the university
if such a restriction were to be placed upon
the candidates. They feel that "the honor
has lost its significance."
The Kosmet Klub presents its views in this
morning's columns. Its object in making the
eligibility rule was to put all candidates on an
equal basis. Obviously one who has been in
school three years has had more oportunity 10
become popular and well known about the cam
pus than one in school only two years, and
four years of college would be more advan
tageous than three years. Kosmet Klub states
further that it is their intention to open up a
sweetheart field for underclass women just as
honorary colonel and prom girl are usually con
sidered senior girls' honors.
The question is, should the Nebraska Sweet
heart be a member of the sophomore or junior
classes, or should she be picked from all
classes, and all colleges. The sweetheart of one
year is the queen of the following year, so it.
is necessary that, someone be procured for the
position who is likely to return the following
year and be the queen. If some seniors are In
be barred why not all foiyth year students?
Hut some fourth year students return for a
fifth year, depending upon their courses. So
I he Kosmet Klub gets itself into difficulties.
A truly representative sweetheart would
1'igically be picked from the entire body of
women students, but. quite obviously, .some
women must be barred because they will grad
uate. If some women are to be barred, it is
again obivous that the entire university is not
represented by 1he sweetheart. If the entire
university is not represented by the sweet
heart, then what difference will it make to
exclude a few more women and put each one
on an equal basis as far as opportunity for
gaining popularity, is concerned.
There are two sides to the question, as there
are to every question. It is true that Kosmet
Klub fosters the Nebraska Sweetheart tradi
tion. They make the eligibility rules, and have
complete charge of the presentation and all
matters pertaining to the sweetheart. They
could so handle the affair, if they chose to do
so, that it would soon become n meauinyless
thing. They have chosen to do otherwise. They
have kept up the interest in the sweetheart
even to the degree that it is vigorously fought
over, not only women students but men enter-

Expressing Regret.
TO THK KOI TOR :
In regards to the Nebraska
affair the Kosmet Klub, thru the
the paper, wishes to express ils
complications have arisen tind also wish to ac
cept part of lhc blame for r.Ilou ing the ineligi
ble candidate's name and picture to appear, as
well as failure to inform the registrar of the
new eligibilitv rule of the Kosmet Klub.
However, there is another viewpoint on the
situation. Kosmet Klub feels that neces.-.nry
publicity on the new eligibility rule had been
given thru the news columns of The Daily
Nebraskan. At the same time that filings for
sweetheart were called for and in the same
story the eligibility rule was given-space. Fol
lowing issues of Nebraskans also carried stories
on the rule.
It is with no direct affront to the law college
that we made this rule. The rule was passed
for only one reason primarily. We firmly be
lieve that a junior or sophomore girl should be
the Nebraska Sweetheart. It has been a cus
tom generally for senior girls to be considered
for honorary colonel and prom girl and Kosmet
Klub wishes to leave a field for underclass
women. We do not consider it justice to allow
a freshman girl in law to file for this office
when we do not permit seniors in the other
colleges on the campus to file. We feel that
such girls have the opportunity in their sopho
more and junior years for this honor. AVc arc
not taking the voting privilege away from any
man student on the campus.
Kosmet Klub extends its sympathy to Imo
gene Steinmeier in this regrettable incident
and also regrets that Audrey Gregory saw fit
to resign her honorary position, because we
feel that it will not better the situation.

Sold Out.
TO THE EDITOR:
Again the dear student body is sold out,
booked, frigged, and other expressions mean
ing that they've had a dirty deal. The an
nouncement of the dollar games for the rest
of the season coupled with cheap general ad
mission prices leaves the student that bought a
book for the season holding the good, old-fashioned
sack. Yes, yes, I know that it was done
to aid the other student that couldn't afford
the book, and I know that this dollar a game
won't give the holder a chance to view "Ne
braska basketball, track, wrestling, swimming,
and baseball, at no additional cost" (see back
cover of season ticket if you were a sucker,
too). My great protest is this ... 1 bought
a ticket at $9.00 normally expecting that a
price would be maintained thruout the season
in keeping with this ... at the same lime I
knew that because of my hours of work 1
could see only the football games, and 1
thought that it was cheaper to buy the season
ticket than pay the full price of the games.
Under the new policy, then two games have
cost me $6.00 and I'll be a cock-eyed coyote
if I think that is fair. My school patriotism
is all right, if the school is no Judas, but I
was never worse sold out in my life and I will
never be again . . . not by John K. Selleek. . . .
Why can't I get a rebate? I can only see the
football games . . . yet there is no provision
for this type of student at the beginning of the
year. There are some who compare this to a
sudden change in the stock market but the
anology is faulty. I think. The market is sup
posed to fluctuate and this is known in ad
vance. Again it is compared with a drop in
anv cornmoditv : I believe this also in error, for
no worthwhil
lete pattern, or obsolete manufacture, will sud
denly reduce its price 1o one-third of its former
value.
I think the move is beneficial 1o those who
could not afford the tickets in the first place,
but it is certainly a sore spot to those Mho
could barely get the money together, but man
aged to do so. ... I never will again without a
guarantee that the price won't be lowered, and
few other thinking Nebraska students will
take anv other stand.

EPISODES
By Oliver DeWolf.
Good news from Japan. The
Japanese government will no
longer oppose th participation of
the United States in the sessions
of th? League of Nations council.
This is the first definite step to
ward the solution of the Sino
Japanese controversy in Manchur
ia. It is beilieved in official cir
cles that the opposition of Japan
was due to a misunderstanding of
the status of Prentiss B. Gilvert,
American consul general at Gen
eva who is sitting with the league
council.
In the opinion of some writers,
Japan wished the United States to
arbitrate the dispute as Roosevelt
arbitrated the Russio-Japanese
dispute. The co-operation of the
United States with the league,
however, should bring about a
mote definite and lasting solution

and Japanese envoys are showing
a more amenable attitude toward
one another, and it is believed and
hoped that all nations will see fit
to co-operate, and bring about
permanent peace between these
two great oriental nations, and
furthermore lay a sound founda

conference of 1932.
NEWSPAPER TALK
Other Men's Ideas.
The word "education" is in popular usage
losing whatever content, it once had. In the
missionary attempt to educate everybody lhc
word has come to mean everything and noth
ing. Almost everything passes for education
in this republic.
The public, is soid to education. School at
tendance is made compulsory; every town and
city takes pride in the display of expensive
modern school buildings.
Colleges are crowded with young people,
many of whom will not or can not apply their
minds to study.
Over 2,000.000 adults in America are now
enrolled for correspondence courses, evening
classes, lecture courses. Almost everybody is
ashamed to appear ignorant.
Yet there is little or no respect for scholar,
ship. The prevailing cult of "low-browism "
regards with contempt the convictions of the
educated minority. Everett Dean Martin, in
