Remembering Nebraska s Customs, Particularly noticeable at rallies, football games, and all places where school spirit is displayed, is the matter of removing hats dur ing the singing of the Cornhusker anthem. At every occasion where this song is sung by a large student group, many fail to remove the.r headgear and thereby show either their igno rance of this sacred custom or else their dis respect for it. It is perhaps true that a good number of students are unaware that their heads should remain uncovered during the singing of the Cornhusker. The new students, altho they were told of this tradition at their initiation, have, had plenty of time to forget about it, and the same applies to some of the older stu dents. There is no one at hand to be con stantly telling them what to do, so it is an easy matter to forget. To assert that Nebraska students have no respect for this tradition, might be putting it rather strong, for it is hard to believe that any good Cornhusker would willfully disre gard so simple and dignified a custom. Vet there are a few of those who habitually attend the rallies and games who not only fail 1u ob serve the custom, but indignantly refuse to remove their hats when approached on the sub jet. These persons may or may not be uni versity students. If they are not, then there is nothing to be said to them. But if they are sludents, they should be made to realize that 1 he tradition has a meaning. Terhaps a campaign to inform 1 he student bodv of Nebraska traditions and customs would do a little toward keeping up the much discussed sehool spirit and preventing the grad ual disappearance of Nehraska's traditions. It would most certainly help in the custom re ferred to here, for it seems that most of the :, Indents who fail to observe the custom are ipuorant of it. Perhaps even the most skeptical will be lieve that football teams are of some use when these post season games for the benefit of charity are played. Something To Think About. Professor Charles G. Shaw, of New York University, who aroused such a storm of com ment when he stated that whistlers are morons has been subjected to an unusual amount of criticism for his idea. There is nothing like a radical idea to give the people food for thought. Regardless of his purpose, regardless of the truth of his statement, regardless of the scien tific value, of the idea, he has lightened the burden of every day life by giving us some thing new to think about. He has made news, he has crashed the headlines, he has given the American public something new to think about. And, wonder of wonders, he has not had to murder, or burn, or steal, or commit any crime to do it. He has honestly and sincerely given us a brand new angle on life. If only life could be as simple and honest as the premises Prof. Shaw assumes. He disregards the bad things, he ignores crime, graft, filth, and all the things which American life has come so close to. Professor Shaw has some other ideas also. He is a radical and his thoughts will give the public something to think about. Some of his unusual ideas are: "Pants are a sign of pa triotism; avoid knickers or democracy will go to the bow-wows;" "A million dollar prize should be awarded to the man who can invent a reason for living." The staid reading public will not pass those statements idly by as they do a commonplace murder. And more, he says, "Women alone have culture in America, we have no men of culture, they are all women." Another, "-Men are grow ing womanish and are losing their title to 1he name, 'he-men'." Whether or not any one agrees with his idras is more or less beside the point. The big thing is that Shaw has given us something new to think about. The statements are not idle. They are not ones that can be cannly passed by. They call our attentions and we ' must think about 1hem. More men like Shaw should get the headlines and less men like Capone.

After everything had been running along smoothly and things were apparently under way for a peaceful school term, a contributor to the Morning Mail kindly remnids us that those Freshman caps which are the pride and joy of this institution arc not in style any more. Yjvidcntly th frosh arc not rn proud of ibe caps us they are instructed to be. It may be that it is getting too cold to wear the dinky caps, or mnyno most of the freshmen have lost them, hut reifiii'dloss of nil tills, tlioso ml caps certainly arc getting w-nrcn a round 1ht campus. Surely all the freshmen did not Ktt, sent home after the quarter reports came out. The Interfrateruity council pledged its sup serve traditions willingly, so it seems. The Innocents society assumes the re sponsibility of handling the caps and making the rules for wearing them. They are unabb' to enforce the rules without the co-operation of all upperclassmen. So, then, the reprehen sion belongs to the uppereliissmen. As a mut ter of fact, it is the lack of attention by the students in general to this tradition which ;.l lows it to fa tie out. It is certain that the cap tradition will pass out of existence if something is not done to enforce it. -Other schools have means of en forcing rules similar to the ones on this campus. Many universities have various oilier customs besides the caps that frosh are re quired to observe. Such customs iwr kept up in those other schools by the application of a link' attention on the part of the upperclass men. usually sophomores. Perhaps such sys tems as are used there would not be as sue cessi'ul on this campus, but certainly something Art Wolf Jack Erlrkon Joe Miller . . .

TO Till: KD1TOR: Something seems to have gone M-r.'-wy with another of Nebraska's noble traditions This vear the Innocents society set out to put the Freshman been put across before. In the first place, it changed the color of the caps from the UMir.l green to scarlet and cream. The freshmen were no longer to be "green frosh." but lnynl Cornhuskers in wearing their caps. Secondly, a full and detailed statement of the conditions and length of time the caps were to be worn was drawn up and published. This year there was to be no doubt about how long the caps would be worn. The freshmen Mould know just when they were permitted to be seen with out their caps and would not be seen without them until that time. The Interl'raternity council unanimously approved the tradition, each representative promising to sec that freshmen in his group wore their caps. As usual the freshmen were met at the door of the Coliseum as they completed registration and were told they must buy the caps. At the freshmen convocation they were told (this as usual, tool that it was an honor and a privil ege to wear 1he caps. etc. The caps were dis tributed at the convocation to all who had shown their sehool spirit by forking over fiftv cents to the Innocents society. For a few davs the caps were very much in evidence. The freshman as the caps were whr.'. treihman naDituauy io wnn iresnumn caps soon after getting them. But now! Personally 1 fail to recall seeing oncone single little red cap on the campus during the last week. Apparently the rapidity with which the freshmen lost their school spirit was equalled only by the success of the Innocents in selling the caps. Either the freshmen are as devoid of school spirit as freshmen at Nebraska have been in past years, or the groups who promised to see the caps were worn have forgotten their prom ise. Oh, yes! The Freshman Cap tradition would be put on a workable basis this year and all freshmen would wear the caps. Oh. Vez! Perhaps there is a more effective means than boards for instilling sehool spirit in our "little brothers." We might even show a lit tle ourselves. THE GRIPER. Crises. The world at large and individual nations in particular are in the midst of what is prob ably the greatest series of crises since the World war. And. peculiarly enough, the vast majority of American collegians have but ihe vaguest conception of what is going on. While The alarmed at the Orient bt ween Japan and China, Great .Bri tain, (icriiianv and Spain are seeking to un snarl their own next spring a ference is scheduled. Even the Lnitecl Mates, fortunately not political difficulties confronting Europe, has attempted to meet the economic emergency of the coining winter with a billion dollar credit pool. It is a time, when the quacks and their following so completely lose their sense of bal ance that even wars are proposed to bring back prosperity. And it is most emphatically the time when the best brains of the world must be relict I on if our civilization is 1o re main unsullied. I highly important that today's col lege student, the arl iter of tomorrow, should understand the problems confronting civiliza tion in order to fulfill .successfully his respon sibilities in later life. The national and foreign revelations which the metropolitan newspapers feature on their front pages are not meant to appeal only to students of political science and the more eru ditethey have been written for the benefit of the average individual. Articles from reput able magazines furnish reams of facts and rea soned opinions. A consistent, even tho cursory perusal of the news items dealing with the important topics of the, day will contribute much to enmptetp understanding.

Continued from i'age 1.1 tension of time, and, probably, : considerable scaling down and j even cancellation, if the debtor ; nations and their markets are to j be rehabilitated. 1 Militaristic Collapse, Sayt Dean. I "It is no collapse of capitalism, j as socialists like to say, but rather a coi'aose ot militarism, anu demonstration that the modern world with its complicated ana delicate mechanism of industry, commerce and finance, cannot stand the shock of war or the rtrain of postwar reconstruction, especially when the conquerors take the spoils and the vanquished are required to pay the piper. The world has bean terribly upset witness the revolution in Russia, civil war. flood and famine in China, discontent in India and naturally it takes time to find its equilibrium again,' he said. "As to previous depressions, none has been exactly like this, or so widespread." he continued. "The depression of 1873 had its center in the United States and was a natural reaction of the boom after the Civil war. The crisis and de pression of 1893 wa3 a similar re action after a time of prosperity, coupled with monetary and finan cial troubles. The brief depression of 1907 was closely connected with difficulties in our banking system. The crisis of 1914, also brief, was the direct result of the beginning of the World war. The crisis of 1921 was the collapse of war and postwar inflation and. strange to i say. was soon followed by another p(, - riCHj of pr0i,perjty, lasting from ,1922 to 1929. ana connected large lv. if not chieflv. with enormous expansion of credit at home and abroad. "The most encouraging j'eature of all of these crises and depres sions is the fact that they have in variably been followed, sooner or later, by recovery and good times, and there is no reason to think that the present depression will be an exception to the rule. Predicts Recovery Natural. "Recovery will probably come about automatically, aa in previous cases, but that is no reason why business men and governments should stand aside until nature, having done its worst, slowly re stores th? patient to health a.aln. The process of liquidation and re adjustment is painful and danger ous and may be mitigated in vari ous ways. There is, of course, no nostrum for political and economic ills, and it would be sheer quack ery to pretend that there is. "However, at least two ways of improving the financial condition of Europe, and, therefore, of the world are rather clearly indi cated," Dean LeRossignol sug gested. "First, a gradual lowering of tariff barrier to international trade, which would permit the debtor countries to pay their debts in part at least. To ask them to pay those enormous debts in gold is to demand the impossible, for there is only some eleven billion dollars of gold money in the world, of which more than seven billions are already impounded in the United States and France. To ask them to pay in cornmodities and at the same time to set up tariff bar riers against them is absurd. Tariff Reduction Unlikely. "But inasmuch as any consider able reduction in tariffs by protec tionist countries is unlikely to oc cur in the near future, the second and only practicable alternative is being urged more and mote, namely, to forgive the debtor na tions in part or altogether. Noth ing. I believe, would do more to restore confidence tbruout the woild, to rehabilitate foreign trade, to raise the' level of agricultural prices ar.d of other prices as well, than a complete wiping out of the war debts provided, of courne, Ihnt the money thus saved by the debtor nations woull not be spent in preparation for another war." Coninv;nting on frozen credits in the United States he explained that the recent creation of the Na tional Credit corporation, the s callert emergency pool, with a re volving fund of 500 millions, should help the situation vsry much. The federal reserve system, thru pro viding for greater elasticity of cur currency than the old national banking system, is limited 'e its power to relieve tho present dis tress by the fact that it can re discount only "eligible paper," that is, trade acceptances and first class short time paper, not exceed ing fii'-ety days except in the case of ag' x. 'tural paper which may run for nine monthi The federal reserve banks may also buy securities in the open market, but only United State. government bonds. Hut during the past few years, in' the absence of a normal demand for loans, many ! Ltv.::.: have been buying Industrial I ami railway bonds, installment 1 paper, and even ror.l estate mort I fcagen, so that at th present time about 75 percent of their total j loans ami investments are not (lis- countable with the federal reserve ! banks, nor are they salable at ' ..KAPnnl .,.t..Aa ...it knot eai'lmil JM Colli,.

I'I'l.. . . . . .W.I .... , V. A I i IJTT 1 IIICI (7111 y Jjm.l, Ull llie other hand, which is a private or ganisation, will permit banks to borrow on collateral of high grade bonds of any kind and even may discount installment paper or other good paper," he declared. "Pos sibly, th'i banks may not take ed vantage of those opportunities to any great extent, but the fact that they are provided will tend to re store confidence ai;d reduce the danger of a financial crisis. "The creation of this emergency pool i'oifcshadcws, possibly, some changes in the federal reserve act to permit the member bans to borrow from the rederal reserve banks on collateral of high grade securities other than United States bonds and hitherto eligible paper. Obviously, such changes might re sult in overloading; the federal re ceive banks themselves with frozen assets, but, presumably, the fed eial reserve board will juard against this. "Still another of our troubles is the process of deflation in com modity prices which has been going on since the crisis of 1P21, which slackened during the late boom, was resumed again in the summer and fall of 1920, and has continued until the present time. The general level of prices is now practically where if was in 1913, before the war time infation, re minding us of the old adage, 'What goes up must come down.' " Reserve Board Unable. According to the Nebraska econ omist, many so-called financial au thorities have looked to the federal reserve board to prevent the fall in prices by lowering the discount rate and thus causing inflation by the expansion of bank credit, but it has been found that the board cannot do this. The discount rate has been reduced, money has been cheaper than ever before, but the banks do not borrow because their customers will not borrow in view of the slight prospects of profits in most lines of business. The rais ing or lowering of the discount rate by the federal reserve boara has its effect in encouraging the import or the export of gold, but has slight if any influence on the general level of prices. "Now that prices are back where they were in 1913, the old agitation in favor of bimetalism has revived and many people are saying that our fellow citizen, W. J. Bryan, was right in advocating free silver and wrong only in being almost forty years ahead of time," he re flected. "However that may he, some financiers and economists, including J. F. Darling of the Lon don City and Midland bank, and Roger Babson of the Babson Sta tistical institute, have come out in favor of international bimetalism. Mr. Babson would have it estab lished at a ratio of thirtv to one, altho the present bullion ratio with silver at 28 cents an ounce is about seventy-four to one. Bimetalism Improbable. "Unquestionably, if international bimetalism could be established and maintained at any such ratio as thirty to one it would more than double the price of silver and raise the general level of prices to a considerable extent. In other words, it would greatly relieve the debtor class and inaugurate an other period of inflation, the end of which would surely be another se vere crisis and prolonged depres sion, worse likhtly than that of 1929 and the following years. "Inasmuch as there is no imme diate prospect of international bi metalism." Dr. LeRosignol con cluded, "and the United States could not afford to try the experi ment alone, it would doubtless be safer to try to improve the present situation by the help of the federal reserve board, the National Credit corporation, and co-operating agencies, looking toward a better distribution of the world's gold and a better utilization of the gold supply in the United States and every other country."

Ejvernl instructors of sociology from the colleges and university of Nebraska met at a dinner which was held at the University club, Friday evening, Oct. 23. Dr. Hat tie Plum Williams, professor of pratical sociology in the Univer sity of Nebraska, called the meet ing for the purpose of discussing matters relating to the professional training in social work of inter ested students in the institutions of higher learning in Nebraska. The meeting was attended by K, L. Setterlund of Hastings college, Lawrence Brown of O-eighton uni versity, Charles Bisset of York college, Arthur Miles of Doane col lege, Mabel Snyder CObbey of Cot ner college, and Glenn Callen of Wesleyan university. Dr. J. C. Hertzler, Dr. James Reinhardt, and Misa Catherine Dunn, in addition to Dr. Williams, represented the University of Ne braska department of sociology. The informal discussion centered about the two questions of recruit ing students from social work training and of co-ordinating the curricula of the various colleges toward that end. Those attending the meeting agreed that the basic preparation for social work demanded a broad foundation in the social sciences with history, biology, and psychol ogy in generous proportions. TBey agreed that the correlation of courses in the smaller schools look ing toward technical training either at Nebraska or at a profes sional graduate college was desir able. The next meeting of these in structors will be held May 7. in Lincoln. Attention will be given to the broader aspects of the teaching of sociology in the col leges and universities of the rtate at this meeting.
