Growing Pains
Of Greeks.
QONCENTRATED at Chicago the week-end of
October 14 will be the administrative heads of
America's college fraternities as the national Inter
fraternity council hold Its regular meeting. Here,
gathered to discuss the innumerable problems of
fraternity welfare, will be the men who know most
about the Greek system, and the men, too, with
the vision best adapted to seeing the proper place
cf the fraternity In the educational scheme.
If indications of the past year or more are
borne out the major considerations around which
the Chicago meeting will revolve are two closely
linked problems: financial welfare, and the chang
ing emphasis within the Greek world.
Of these, perhaps the first is more familiar on
the Nebraska campus, but the second ought not
to remain strange for long if local chapters are to
keep step with the national trend. Briefly, that
trend is involved with the growing spirit in Ameri
can colleges and universities for a more stable and
serious undergraduate approach to their education.
The movement has its roots in the decease of the
"jazz agel when undergraduates lived, moved and
had their being in a genial atmosphere of irrespons
ible gaiety,
pOR some time the new spirit has found expres
sion lu the fraternity world by an increased con
centration on scholarship and scholastic attain
ments. But in the past year a review of the Greek
world, as seen in fraternity magazines, statements
by fraternity leaders, and various scattered enter
prises among individual chapters, reveals a marked
tendency in the new direction.
As a matter of fact, undulations of the wave
have washed even to the Nebraskan campus. The
proctor, or preceptor Bystem, as tried already by a
few chapters here, is part of the undulation. For
mation of the alumni council and reorganization of
the Interfraternity council offers evidence that
more of the wave may be expected.
More of the wave, may be expected, that is, If
fraternities desire to keep adjusted to changing
trend. It Is somewhat fantastic, perhaps, to ex
pect that adjustment immediately, or even within a
year or so. Fraternities will not change overnight,
and It Is questionable whether they should. But
they can Increase their activities In the direction of
the new tendency, and to that end there are at
least two things that can be done this fall, here and
now.
"J"UE fir.it ot these activities comes under the h'.'a'l
oi Jiint parties two or three fraternities join
ing forces to utilize the decorated and available
Coliseum. The second is extension ot the proctor,
or preceptor system.
It Is doubtful If either one ot these objective:'
can be reached without considerable opposition
Fraternity men. very humanly, are inclined to re
sent interference with their established ways. But
both projects will constitute work tor the revital
ized Interfraternity council it Nebraska Greeks are
to lend a hand in the movement surging thru t:ie
adjustment of the fraternity to its proper place in
fraternity world.
And both projects realized will be a step in the
the American collegiate scene. The Greeks have
had a long adolescence, but they show unmistakable
signs ot growing tip and realizing some of the high
hopes of their leaders. Fraternities will remain so
cial, of course, but it will he "social" In a fcigger,
more valuable way.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Death of Game
Broadcast.
HILE D. S. in the Student Pulse column looks
with dark foreboding on the new iBg Six ruling
prohibiting radio broadcasts ol football games, a
glance at conference exchanges reveals a similar
Interest on other campl. Down at Kansas State,
for example, the discussion was taken up by the
Collegian, bi-weekly student newspaper, with the re
sults set forth in today's Contemporary Comment
department.
The two articles, combined, present the picture
rather thoroly, and the Nebraskan sees no necessity
for expanding their remarks.
The fear that D. S. expresses dissolves in the
light of the very strong football interest prevailing
in the conference, and it is improbable that loss of
the radio reports can seriously impair that interest.
Newspaper and press association telepgraphic re
ports remain, and altho they may not be quite as
effective in stimulating thrills, they will serve very
well for the great majority of fans.
From the viewpoint of the athletic directors,
seeking to bolster up game attendance, the Colleg
ian's editorial is an adequate presentation, and
leaves nothing to be said.
Radio's play-by-play broadcasts are gone, but
a compelling interest in conference football car
ries on strongly enough it Is hoped, to reduce any
loss of Big Six prestige to a minimum.

The announcement last week,
however, that radio broadcasting
of Bis Six games would be di3'

.A'.sln.'ss activities of me comer

the members of the association had

conditions. The association had
b.'e:i studying the situation for two
seasons, and after a series or care

the members voted unanimously
to discontinue the radio broadcast

come about through the influence
of one individual of the associa
tion Everything regarding the
problem was considered, apparent

diminishing strength of the conference.
That the discontinuance of
broadcasting will increase ticket
sales is the big hope of the Big
Six schools. People in and near the
cities in which the conference in
stitutions are located who have
shown a tendency to sit by the
radio loudspeaker during football

Whether or not the people who
formerly listened to the games by
means of radio will now attend the
games and buy seats in the sta

members of the association are In
terested. Many people who have
listened to the broadcasts in past
years will not be influenced into
attending the games since the dis
continuance. On the other hand, it
is obvious that other football fans
who heard the radio reports in
former years will now buy stadium
tickets and enjoy the Big Six
games on the sidelines.
Members of the association real

Good-bye Radio Fan.
TO THE EDITOR:
The newly announced ruling of
the governing board of the Big Six
conference, prohibiting the broad
casting of all football games
played between conference teams,
is going to make a whale of a lot
of difference on the football atti
tude in Nebraska. One of the most
popular Saturday afternoon pas
times is being cut from the cal
endar, and untold thousands of
true Nebraska grid fans are to be
severed from their "blood of life"
when they are denied the pleasure
of tuning in on station KFAB to
hear how the Bible proteges are
parrying: on.
The reason which the authori
ties announced for their action was
the ever present situation of
dwindling gate receipts, an ill
which they hope their treatment
will core. JVita. the reduction in the
price of the reason cardboards,
they feel that xnqst of the true
blooded grid fans will be able to
take advantage of the low prices,
and turn out physically as well as
spiritually when the Cream and
Scarlet battle on the field. While it
may be true that many of the
former radio fans will be able to
take In the games at the new and
lower rates, many of them will
have to go on without that satisfaction-Distance
of travel. Inability to
Bcrape tro the dollar and ten, and
other handicaps such as physical
cjisability, and the necessity of
keeping1 on the job, will keep most
of the former radio fans from en
joying their Saturday afternoons
this fall. For this class of many
thousands of ardent Comhuskers
are taking the ruling on the chin,
but not without much lamentation.
Their hearts are with the Ne
braska boys, and their minds are
on the game, but without the play-by-play
description their ardor will
soon be lost, and their position as
potential Johnny-on-the-spot fans
is greatly endangered.
Undoubtedly, a great many of
the former ozone fans will take
Bdvnntue- of the new ducat rates,
and will not miss their regular
Faturday afternoon treat, but
many more will nurse a secret
grudge, because they have been
Totbed of a pleasure they have
learned to love, that of following
the Cornhuskers over the grid,
while working at their office desks
or sitting comfortably in their
parlors. D-s-

Practice Results in Fights

TEMPE, Ariz. (CNS). Despite a
decision of the student council 1 V
vorlng re-establishment of the
practice of paddling freshmen,
President Grady Gammage this
week ruled there should be no
hazing on the campus of the Ari
zona State Teachers college here.
When first arnounced, the coun
cil's decision was said to have re
sulted in a number of fights be
tween freshmen and sophomores.
President Gammage then announc
,a that "no hazing will be sanc
tioned or permitted by the admin-jfltraUon.'

Everyone knows
that a long, firm, white ash re
sults from perfect burning of
fine tobaccos. Notice the ash on
Lucky Strike. See how even, how
firm, how white. That long, white
ash is the unmistakable sign of
Lucky Strike's fine tobacco quality,
