God expects from men something; more
than at such times, and that it were to be

well as the satisfaction of their conscience
that their Easter devotions would come up

Morals, Again.
i
iih omititantlv increasing wonder that
college students note the continual nl tacks
upon' their moral standards. It is with dif
ficulty thiit they accept there criticisms. In
a recent issue of a local paper another attack
is launched at the standard of morals at the
University of Nebraska. The writer of the
article believes, that as a taxpayer, he has a
rijrht to object. Granted his right to object
toill things, but against the morals of college
students he should first be sure of his ground.
lie states that college students are living in
palatial homes, incompatible with their culture
and income, that they smoke too many cigar
ettes, and that drunkenness has increased at
football games, lie makes the statements, ad
vances no proof.
The Dailv Nebraskan makes bold to say that
Ibe morals of the s dents of the University of
Nebraska are higher in every degree than the
morals of a similar age group anywhere else.
If those who are constantly bemoaning col
legiate vice will show students a group of five
thousand young men and women between the
iijres of 16 and 25 with morals which will com
pare in any respect to ihosc of students then
they will haw grounds upon which to base
their complaints.
The names which constantly adorn the police
blotters of the cities of the world are not eol-
l.xrj mlpilt . The voulliful breakers oC the
law are seldom college students. College stu
dents are better fitted to reason out their own
mural standards than any other group of ihe
same size and age anywhere.
Drunkenness lias increased at football games,
says the letter writer. He declares lhat thai
fact is ton apparent to be denied. The Daily
Xobraskan would like to know who the drink
ers were. Were they college students or were
they outsiders? College students are blamed
in nine cases out of 1en for crimes which they
never commit. When any one is drunk on a
football trip or at a football game, it is always
the students who are blamed, and in almost
every instance it is someone not even allied
with the group who is causing all of the
1 rouble.
Thin the cigarette smoking vice. That has
been bemoaned for years, .lust what is so ter
rible about smoking a cigarette? "What makes
it a vice? Some of the greatest men in the
world today are cigarette smokers and some
are not. Some of ihe finest and most cultured
women in this city are cigarette smokers. Why
is it m rong .'
To those plaintiffs who sec vice in our midst
we say come and point it out to us. "We chal
lenge them to show us n group of the same
size and age anywhere which has so little of
downright evil in it as has ours. Further than
that we challenge them to disprove the state
ment that the moral standard of college stu
dents is higher than that of a similar group in
other circumstances.
Rushing Rule,
Regulation.
Issuance of the new triplicate rush cards
calls atlenlion to the annual three day battle
at the beginning of each year. The rulings
of the Interfraternity council on rushing are
printed, as usual, on the first card and are,
us usual, unread. The innovation this year is
of having a triplicate card instead of duplicate.
Under the new system, one card goes to the
rushee, one to the fraternity and one to the
Interfraternity council.
The rules are the same as usual. In the fall,
they will be obeyed about the name as usual.
Rules will be broken and no one will complain
because the fraternities who complain have
probably broken the same rules themselves and
SThVlnterfraternity council rushing rules are
based on a certain degree of honor among tho
fraternities. The entire fwytcm depends upon
the honesty of the individual fraternities. If
that honesty does not prevail then the rules
are needless. If there are no rules then the
customary cut throat rushing tactics will he
employed in the future as they were in the
''"ibe success of the entire system depends
upon the obedience to these rules. Obey then.
Individuals
Are Needed.
J. II. H. wants to know wht the committee
on realignment intends to do about those Barbs
who will not be included in the Barb clubs.
He cites the example of those who may live
in houses where there is only one student liv
ing or perhaps two. He states that this class
of the Barbs are interested in the project also.
The eoiinnitt.ee hopes to get these students
into the organization scheme also. It fully
intends to organize as many of the Barb group
a.s possible. The project was begun by the plan
of organizing the larger groups at first on the
theory that these clubs would form the nucleus
of a still larger organization. The plan will
take time to work out and it will not be ac
complished in a day or a week or a month.
With the central group established by the
large houses in the Barb group it seems logical
to' suppose lhat the other Barbs will gather
about this center. For the present, however,
the smaller groups of Barbs and individuals
of that, group are perfectly free, to lend their
support to the organization scheme. They arc
invited and requested to attend the meetings
which will he called in the near future for the
purpose of completing the organization.
The committee realizes that without the aid
of thnt large group of individual students
there can never be a true Barb organization.
It is that group which will give strength to
the party which possesses their support. If
spirit is to come back to the University of Ne
braska campus it is to the individual Barb
students to whom we must look for the great
est aid.

TO THE EDITOR:
Since 1 am one of the Barbs whose co-operation
the realignment committee seeks, 1 should
like to know what the committee proposes to
do about the Barbs who will not be included
in the Barb clubs. These Barbs are as inter
ested in the project as are the houses where
five or more men may be found. Arc you able
to shed any light on this angle of the situation?
It is my opinion, after no liltle observation,
that realignment will be valueless until Greeks
come off their high horse. By that I do not
mean that the Greeks are to blame or that
Barbs have conducted themselves in "lily
white" manner. Both groups are at fault. In
business, the distinctions are not so marked,
although Barbs feel somewhat inferior and out
of place. The trouble lies in the social in-

Why should they?
Ye Editor has admitted the snobbishness, a
tribute to his broadinindedness. Yes, some
Barbs see red whenever a Greek hovers on 1 lie
horizon. Some are unfriendly to the Greeks.

know. Does anyone know? But to me, the
problem of students' lack of interest is merely
a matter of promoting more friendliness be

tears are being spilled freely, kisses are ex
changed enthusiastically.
It's a quaint old custom, this coiigratulal ion
of new initiates. The fledgling has found his
wings ; he is soaring over the little bit of ground
which once was his earth and sees everything
from an enlarged and glorious perspective. No
more of common clay, the new member honest
ly believes his new and strangely wrought
symbol makes him deserving of all the con
gratulations he is being extended.
Ah little girl, you with the pearl pin on your
heaving breast, you with the astral light in
your brown eyes, Ihe beaming smile and grac
ions demeanor, you are a lucky lass. You have
paid the sorority nearly a hundred of your
father's hard earned dollar bills; you have
helped make auother payment on the new
house and contributed to the salaries of nu.
meroiis national officers. Yon have listened
with tear dimmed eyes to solemn implication
and murmured breathless assent to impressive
oaths which you could not repent even this soon
after the ceremonies; you have entered the
great sisterhood of eternal love and mutual
devotion; the frock of mundane and uneonse
crated life has been dropped and you are
clothed in the dazzling white of a pure and
eternal organization .
Yes my good man, you with the left hand
in jour pocket, the jeweled pin on your vest,
you have made good. You have endured count
less thwackings on the buttocks, you have
made your beds and washed your lavatories,
scrubbed your floors and had your two dates

honest endeavor, this earnest and humble de
votion to a true and worthy cause and entered
into your reward. "With the payment of the
staggering initiation fee, which you borrowed
from the bank, and completion of tho impres

breathe allegiance to your fraternity. A new
day has dawned.
It is to be regretted that the olcmn oaths
and commendable creeds which characterize all
fraternity and sorority initiations are forgotten
as soon as the chapter room is left behind. It

MO THREE cent tax on a pint of
2.75 percent beer, but a one
cent tax on a gallon of Imported
oil was the result of Thursday's
and Friday's fight In the house
over the revenue bill. The wets
were only supposed to Ret one vote
this session on prohibition. But in
the search for substitutes for the
defeated sales tax wet brought
up the proposal that three cents be
laid on a pint of beer, lager and
porter, all of not more than 2.75
percent alcoholic content.
But the bill to kill a couple of
birds with a single stone more
revenue, better beer failed. Oil
producing states, which have been
fighting for three years for an oil
tariff, are happy.
When the question of the sales
tax came up in the house Speaker
Garner was on the wrong side. He
was for the sales tax and it lost.
Because of his ability in leadership
friends have had presidential hopes
for him. As the sales tax went
down, Mr. Garner's prestige also
dropped. Friends are hopeful that
he may redeem himself before the
revenue bill Is completed.
e
These words in a Kansas City
Star editorial. "The Deficit and
Tax Crisis." are good:
"If a bill finally is passed to
meet the treasury demands, it is
likely to be made on the floor of
the house where radical leadership
now prevails. Such a bill would
lack the deliberate and intelligent
construction which is rarely pos
sible except in committee."
And these: "There is even sup
port for a proposal to put off a
year the balancing of the budget.
But it (the house) can not with
out utterly discrediting itself be
fore the country, pass up the dis
agreeable job merely because this
is a year of national elections.
"Opposition to the sales tax is
largely political."
e
Calvin Coolidge believes that
here in the United States we must
n?t only find more revenue to bal
ance budgets, but we must also
find ways of economy to make this
balance. That Germany is doing
this is shown by the fact that in
1930 her budget was balanced at
$2,700,000, in 1931 at $2,500,000,
and this year will be at $2,000,000.
Under the public safety act in
Ireland many Irish Free State
citizens used to be jailed for advo
cating an Irish republic separate
from Great Britain. President de
Valera last week suspended this
act. Jailed patriots were released.
There is much such advocating
now and Easter in Ireland may be
a bit ruffled.

And since all this trouble Shang

nif leant characteristic is their In
terdependence. In this great triumvirate, the
employe Is taking a place not fore
seen by early management. He is
becoming an owner, and he is the
consumer. Unique participation by
the individual is disappearing. It is
being replaced by his ubiquity. It is
a direct conclusion, therefore, that
the employe's good will and co
operation Is a necessary adjunct to
management in order to achieve
success.
Owners Not Omnipotent.
Management does not appear so
omnipotent as it had thought it
self. Even where ownership Is still
vpstprt in a few individuals, their
assumed independence is a false
base. For their great property
values are leonardized and are
without significance. if labor
strikes and will not be employed.

that though a person may occupy

book discussing the reasons ror de

nd confusing list of alleged

porations, taxes, tariff, extrava

Enough to account for all, and to

Many plans are being proposed
for the progressive alleviation of
industrial depression ana economic
and social unrest. Nor are they
one-sided plans made to protect
the tender epidermis o' one party
to th( contest, at tne cost of the
other. There is every intention of
being fair. The ends sought are
broad and eflective, including pen
sions, insurance, stabilizing of em-
nlnvmpnt. halancinc of production
and consumption, participation of
labor in the benents oi tecnnoiogi
cal advances, etc.
Onp. example of this is the so-
called Swope Plan, outlined by Mr.
Gerard Swope, president oi tne
General Electric Company, in a
public address last fall. It Is a
combination of things tnai tne
General Electric Company is actu
Hllv dninir with some of the things
they would like to do. Some of the
most striking provisions are al
ready in force In this company,
while others are impossible under
present legal prohibitions.
The plan proposes mat ah in
dustrial and commercial com
panies with fifty or more em
ployes, and doing interstate dusi
ness, may form a trade associa
tion which shall be under the su
pervision of a federal body to be
designated."
These associations shall have
the power to outline the plans un
der which business is to be con
ducted, including trade practices,
business etnics, use or sianouru
forms and procedures, comparisons
of data and statistics, stabilization
of prices, stabilization of employ
ment, etc.
A federal supervisory body is to
be established, with power suffi
cient to protect public interests.

Old age pensions are made man
datory. Here, also, the burden is
borne equally by employe -and em
ployer, up to $50 per year each,
for employes beginning by the age
of thirty-five years. Above this
age, a scale of increases obtains
which depends upon the age at en
tranct, but sufficient to establish
a rtmnnr rptlrlno nflnfliOH at the
age of seventy years. The amount
of annuity contempiateu is uuut
a half salary.
t VinvB trnnp to some length in
presenting this plan, not toecause I
presume it to oe peneci, oui
cause it is an argument in proving
my point that at least in some
quarters management is thor
oughly awake to its responsibili
ties, and is anxious to lead the way
in no one sided fashion. -
It is evident that there will be
innumerable incidental adjust
ments. Many business companies
and some , manufacturers have
gone to the five day wek, never
to return to the six day week. The
shorter working day is also in the
picture. Shop councils will come
more to the front. Leisure must
not result in Idleness, but must bo
directed toward social education.
We know far too little, or we
should be more successiful In solv
ing our problems. We must rise
above the stupidities of mental and
social inertia.
Except for the challenge of the
Christian religion, newr has there
been a greater challenge to man
than that of technology, the Ma
chine Age, today. It Ts for us to
see to it that the products of our
skill and genius are made avail
able broadly to humanity, that
their advantages are conserved,
rather than dissipated. For, noth
ing is too good for man, if It Is
unselfishly administered.
