Beware of Greeks
Cheap inartistic gifts are one thing! But
those of beauty, of fineness, of interest are
another.
93 c of the women u; sororities have
learned the lesson of good photography. For
it is they who have experienced the thrill of
seeing their picture done by Rinehart-Marsden.
When you send a photograph that is true,
you send a gift most appreciated. So place

ASKS CONTROL OF

of mixers. This enables students
who do not feel they can afford to
date to have an opportunity to

Proposed All-University Party
Committee Plan:
1. The present All-University
system nas runcuonea wen ior jive ,
years. It ha3 paid for itself. No
permanent debt has been incurred.
And the University of Nebraska
has at no previous time had such
consistently outstanding parties,
mufic and decorations,
2. The parties now provided
under sponsorship of the Barb
Council encouraged participation
by students who are more or less
timid and unacauainted. and who I
' do not have other adequate social
opportunities.
(This refers to the fact that
more or less of a "mixer system"
is preserved. Dates are not neces
sary, either by rule or custom.
Hundreds of students attend these
Bearing Gifts . . .
You need never fear of
ft gift that comes from
B2442 i
parties to get acquainted with new
people. I
3. Under the proposed plan, the
probable tendency in a short time
would be to eliminate the "mixer
system," Fraternity students are
frankly opposed to the mixer. All
University Parties would tend to
become purely "date" affairs-by
force ot custom which is ironclad
among fraternity and sorority par
ties on this campus. This would de
stroy one of the greatest values of
the All-University parties.
4. The fraternity students, whose
attendance the proposed plan
would encourage, are not in need
of further social opportunities.
Thev are at present lax in their at
tendance at all-University parties
only because of the large majority
of fraternity parties which keep
them busy and dated up.
(The original motive for the
Baib Council undertaking the All
University parties was to provide
the kind ' of social opportunities
needed by, and unavailable to, the
students who are not in such a for
tunate position. This objective is
certainly more worthy than of
simplv creating another colossal
fraternity style party, i
I 5. There is no need for frater-
nity students to interfere in the
management of the present parties
j in order to be welcome at those
; parties and to enjoy them. All stu
j dents are welcome at these parties,
I and if fraternity students wish to
attend in greater numbers, they
'may. (All fraternity and sorority
j parties could be closed on nights
1 of All-University parties under the
j present system if the fraternity
! students were really so anxious to
' attend these parties en masse. Why
! do not the Pan-Hellenic and inter-
fraternity groups, or the Student j
Council trv that? In other words,
the fraternity groups are not after
more general attendance at the
parties thev are truly after Greek
j control of the parties i .
; 6. A party committee with
! Greek participation will inevitably
become emmeshed in factional ma-
cninauons. :iemoersiiip win ur-
come a political plum and the
same difficulties will arise as are
now so glaringly apparent in the
Student Council itself! (And note
that in spite of the generally ad
mitted undesirable political situa
tion in the council, it is the Stu
dent Council itself which is now
proposnir this plan for vour ratifi-
1 cation.). (Note also that the old
. "Varsity Party Committee" ex
' tinct five years ago is a monu
j ment to the undesirability of po
I litical monkeying with the par
ties.) 7. The Barb Council control of
I the parties at present places them
; outside the range of campus po
' litical factional warfare. Factions
' have not yet arisen to play petty
politics within the Barb ranks.
8. To the Barb Council goes
the entire and unquestioned credit
! for the development of the fine
I system of All-University parties
I which we now enjoy. Management
! of these parties is a worthy Barb
I tradition, of which we are proud.
(It will be remembered perhaps
that the Barb Council took over
the parties after the old "Varsity
Party Committee" was abolished
because it had become a political
instrument, and had failed miser
ably had even sunk to graft and
piled up a $2,000 debt.)
9. The Barb Council is itself an
excellent agency through which a
good number of non-fraternity
students may be active in serving
their university. It will not be de
nied that in general Barb students
tend elsewhere to be crowded out
of places of leadership by virtue
of political factional strife. The
Barb Council therefore should be
preserved, by all means, for the
good of the whole student body.
The Barb Council is the only non
fraternity organization conceived
and created by Barbs themselves. !
10. The proposed plan would
i nearly, if not entirely, kill the 1
Barb Council and thereby elimi-
nate a worthy Barb institution.!
pour positions would be open on
It he proposed committee (for;
1 Barbs I whereas eighteen are open)
now jj, ne Barb Council. '
11. It remains that the only ap-!
parent reason for creating the pro-1
pojd committee would be to give .
the fraternities a 50 percent con- j
j trol of the management of the
parties, aii oiner enas can oe
achieved under the present system.
We believe that to make the
change would be to sacrifice the
very existence of the Barb Coun- ;
r;i and to sacrifice certain fund a
mental and worthy values in the
parties themselves. What possible
benefit could result whicn would
be worth such a price? j
