Important Meeting of
A. Jf'. S. Council Called
An Important meeting of the
A. W. g. council of presidents of
dormitories, sororities, and or
ganized houses will bo hold
Monday evening at 5 o'clock In
Ellen Smith hall. .Prompt at
tendance la requested.
Berenleco Hoffman
President of A. W. t. board.
editor of the Cornhusker, declared,
"There does seem to be a lack of
Interest on tho part of most of
the students in the campus activi
ties. This is probably caused by
the political situation. Competi
tion is necessary and when one
group predominates tho field, in
terest Is killed. Another reason
for the decline in enthusiasm may
be that the fraternities and sor
orities are not encouraging their
members to participate In the var
ious student activities. However.
I believe that a change in the po
litical situation would help mat
ters a great deal."
Jack Thompson, busines man
ager of the Daily Nebraskan,
thought that politics had some
thing to do with the situation. He
said, "It is evident that there is
a lack of interest in activities in
general. I believe that there are
two reasons for this. One is that
faction politics have become so
one-sided aa to eliminate much of
the element of competition. An
other reason for the decline is that
men who do attempt to represent
the' various organizations on the
campus are liable to unjust criti
cism. The situation discourages
many men who would otherwise be
student leaders."
Alumni See Lack.
It Is apparent to alumni of the
university that there is a change.
Students arc not so energetic as
they were in former years. Even
as recently as lour years ago, ac
cording to Oscar Norling, a former
editor of the Daily Nebraskan,
there were thirty-five or forty re
porters available each afternoon,
Among them were capable men
who competed enthusiastically for
the best assignments.
Today the situation is entirely
different. There is a mere hand
ful of reporters on hand, and the
best assignments go to a lew ne
cause there is nothing else to do.
There are not very many rliabl
and faithful rportrs.
Did Not Notice. ...
Some had not noticed any decline
in student interest in activities
They "believed that students were'
just as willing to work as they ever
were, but that the trouble Jay in
the lack of ability among the stu
dents. Marvin Robiinson. editor of the

pus humor publication was not suf
fering from a lack of ambitious
workers. He said, "I believe that
the trouble in the case of student
publications is that they have been
held back. They need a chance to
grow unhampered. And I have not
noticed that students have become
less interested in activities. I be
lieve that skill is lacking in most
instances."
Jean Rathburn, president of
Mortar Board society, said, "I
haven't noticed any lack of inter
est as far as women's activities
are concerned. I don't think that
such a lack of interest has affected
the v.'omen students."
Groups Push Man.
Otis Detrick, editor of the Corn
husker, said that the cause under
lying the lack of Interest in activi
ties was due to the political situa
tion on the campus. He stated that
he could think of no effective
remedy for the situation at the
time. His statement is: "There is a
very evident lack of interest on
the part of the students in activi
ties. The cause is probably due to
the political factions. It has been
the custom, also, for groups to
push one man into as many activi
ties as possible to the possible ex
clusion of other men who are
good."
Ag college activities are af
fected in the same way. The de
cline has become almost acute In
the past few years. George Round,
editor of the Cornhusker Country
man, stated, "I have noticed on the
Ag campus in the past few years
that students are not as interested
in activities as they formerly
were. It is hard to say what the
cause of this decline is, but it may
be due to the lack of proper lead
ership." A different light on the situa
tion was revealed in the statement
of Art Wolf, member of the Inno
cents society, who pointed out that
activities make possible benefits
and rewards which outlast one's
college career. He refers to the
value of friendships made while
working as a part of an education.
No Frends In Class.
Wolf made the following state
ment: "Fifty percent of the educa
tion we get here comes as a result
of our contacts and friendships,
and we certainly don't make a
large number of friends or even
acquaintances while in 'the class
room or while studying.
"The only way to make friends
on the campus is to get into activi
ties, as many as po.-isible. The
more activities one is interested in,
the more friends he will have.
Working together for a common
cause is a binding force and makes
for the staunchest of friends.
"The outlook of people who do
not indulge in activities becomes
harrowed to the sphere of the
fraternity or sorority or rooming
house and the class room. There is
much more to college life than
that. The solution is difficult to
find. I cannot say what it is. A
concentrated effort on the part of
every campus organization can do
a great deal toward finding it," he
concluded.
Berenice Hoffman, president of
the A. W. S. board, said that co
operation among all activities on
the campus would help a great
deal toward restoring student in
terest and would being about a
spirit of willingness and ambition.
Attributes Various Reasons.

lost interest in activities. Ona is
that the campus is too highly or
ganized, and everything seems to
be carried on in a cut and dried
manner. Then activities try to do
the Fame things but work against
each other. If they would co
operate they would be more suc
cessful. The tendency on the part
of the individual seems to be to
strive for the name of an activity
rather than to go into it for a de
sire to accomplish something."
Evelyn Simpson, member of
Mortar Board society, said: "It is
evident that there is a deplorable
lack of interest among under
classmen in student actilvties. The
freshmen and sophomores are
leaving most of the work to jun
iors and seniors. They seem to
lack initiative. There is plenty
of work to be done, and I think it
would help the situation a great
deal if students would set some
definite goal for their campus life
and strive to attain that end."
Edwin Faulkner, president of
the Student Council and xnemlier
of the Innocents society, pointed
out that students are hurting
themselves by not participating in
the many campus activities which
are open to them.
He said: "There are many bene
fits to be derived from participa
tion in the various activities, and
if students do not take advantage
of these opportunities, it is their
own loss. I believe that a better
understanding on the part of the
students of activities would help
to arouse interest."
Marvin Von Seggern, president
of the Interfraternity Council and
member of the Innocents society,
declared, "It is a fact that student
interest in activities is dying out.
Either they are too lazy or tbey
don't care enough about them to
participate. The trouble with
them is that they want Immediate
returns on their work and some
enjoyment, and they do not want
to work very hard for it."
Faculty members and prominent
alumni of tho university who are
interested in student activities
could not be reached yesterday for
a statement as to their opinions on
the situation. Many have indi
cated, however, that they also have
noticed that students are not as in
terested in activities as they for
merly were.
After all, it's a Townsend's pho

Miss Gwendolyn Hager, Lincoln,
member of A. W. S. board and
Mortar Board society, has been
chosen to direct all arrangements
for the annual Cornhusker Coed
Party, which will be held Decem
ber 11 in the Armory. The affair

of the music. At this affair, more
than five hundred women students

occasion.
Mildred Gish, Kappa Delta, will

and advertisement for the party.
Carolyn Van Anda is chairman of
publicity, and reservations and
minor arrangements will be

what a western conference cham
pionship team can do."
As a reminder of the importance
of instilling spirit into the team in
preparation for the battle with
Pitt, Mitchell recalled the results
of last year's game with the east
ern school.
"The game was a nothing to
nothing tie, as you all remember,"
he said, "and this year the lines of
the two teams are practically the
same. If students show real en
thusiasm and spirit at tomorrow's
rally at the stadium, there is no
reason why we can't sheath the
claws of the Pitt Panther."
Coach Jock Sutherland's grid
ders have gone thru a season as
successful as Nebraska has, the
Panthers having been defeated
only once, by Notre Dame.
"Pitt, however, did not play yes
terday," the rally chairman ex
plained, "so they will probably be
in good shape to meet the Husk
ers. It is of prime importance," he
concluded, "that we as true Ne
braskans, climax the season by
sending the team east with a spirit
that will be the downfall of Pitts
burgh. Be at the south gate of the
stadium tomorrow afternoon at 5
and show every man of the squad
we will be with him in spirit on
the long eastward trip." ,
