The Senate Deliberates
On an Issue.
THE struggle for control of the varsity parties Is
auBUming ireuieiiuuua jprypyi wyiio.
It started last February when the student coun
cil voted to assume control of varsity parties to be
directed by a council appointed committee composed
equally of Barbs and Greeks.
Since then the Issue has shouldered Its way to
the top of controversial campus issues. Indeed the
issue has been carried into the chambers of the fac
ulty senate judiciary committee, where It has been
under discussion for some time.
Last week the Barbs presented to the senate s
list of eleven arguments why they should continue
the right of sponsoring varsity parties. Yesterday
a delegation from the student council presented
their views on the subject. The net result was plac
ing the issue In the hands of a faculty committee. It
will review the arguments offered pro and con, hear
representatives from both sides, and again present
it to the senate for final consideration.
The Nebraskan feels that the issue has been
grossly overemphasized. At the outset, the new
plan, as passed by the council, cannot be held up as
a Selfish gesture if its provisions are thoroughly un
derstood. Actually varsity parties, under the council's
proposal, would be nothing more than a series of
all student dances held in the university coliseum at
regular intervals. They would be supervised jointly
by a committee composed of an equal number of
Barbs and Greeks. As outlined previously in this
column, the system of selection to membership on
this committee practically outlaws the. possibility of
"politicking."
We suspect that the life of the Barb Council,
endangered by the council's act, will be an impor
tant item considered before a decision is reached.
The Nebraskan contends that any organization,
whose sole excuse for existence is social promotion,
should be revised or abolished.
The Nebraskan has maintained that Varsity
parties, under the council's plan, would benefit the
student body. Indeed it would do much toward ef
fecting greater unity within the student population.
Separate control, we feel, will do much to retard the
fulfilment of this happy condition.
The Nebraskan ap ain emphasizes the fact that
the varsity party plan, as proposed by the student
council, will be controlled by a committee composed
of representative students, and obviously enough
will cater to the entire student body. Under uo
stretch of the imagination can it be said the plan,
when put in operation, will cater to designated
group on the campus. Varsity parties, the Nebras
kan feels, is simply a plan sincerely intended to
encourage all-student participation in all university
parties.
rA Women's Honorary
That Functions.
vrE note with interest the activity and enthusiasm
displayed by Gamma Alpha Chi, women's hon
orary professional advertising sorority, during the
past few months.
Tuesday night the organization was addressed
,by a member of the advertising staff on a local
,'daily. This, in itself, Is not significant But It is
'significant to note that Gamma Alpha Chi has been
holding these meetings regularly, having as guest
speakers, nationally and locally prominent men and
women In the field of advertising. This group, it
appears, Is rendering a worthwhile service to its
members. It should be encouraged.
Gamma Alpha Chi was established on the Ne
braska campus in 1927. At the present time many
outstanding individuals in advertising are Included
in its honorary and graduate membership. But the
activity of this group has not been confined to the
Nebraska campus. Indeed It has gone far in estab
lishing a national reputation. At the present time
an alumni member of the local group is national
president of Gamma Alpha Chi. Through tha enter
prise of this chapter, the next national convention
has been brought to the Nebraska campus.
Aside from this. Gamma Alpha Chi has pre
sumably aided Its members by securing specialists
In the field of advertising to address their group at
regular weekly meetings. Indeed such a program
should aid, in a measure, many women undergrad
uates in choosing a particular phase of the profes
sion they have chosen.
But the real significance of all this is realized
rather plainly when It Is compared with the Over
whelming number of useless women's organizations
that blanket the Nebraska campus. Most of them
had an original purpose. At present they haven't a
vestige of usefulness. Indeed they are organizations
in name only, existing on the strength of mellow
tradition.
To them, the enterprise and worthiness of
membership in organizations exemplified by Gamma
Alpha Chi, might well serve as an excellent exam
ple to follow. At least It would give many of them
aa excuse for existence.
A Student
Pat tor Resigns.
VJANT university students and faculty members
will regret the resignation of Rev. Dean R. Le
land, university Presbyterian pastor, whose retire
meat will become effective at the close of the school
year.
Rev. Leland was the first university pastor at
this Institution. Since that time other churches, en
couraged by Rev. Leland's success, have sent repre
sentatives to Nebraska At the present time they
are organized into the university religious welfare
council. The commendable spirit of Rev. Leland
may have been instrumental in the organization's
ability to attract university students into religious
work as an extra currlcular activity.
But this is not as significant as the man him
self. Indeed be was well qualified to hold the posi
tion he has for the past twenty-five years. Rev. Le
land has been an individual who advocated those
things destined to ultimately improve and benefit
the university as an educational Institution.
University students have found ' his pleasing
personality a source of enjoyment for many years.
Well may we say that the university campus will
regret his retirement.
Contemporary Comment
Russian Roubles
For the Patriots.
By JAMES CRENSHAW
Editor, College News Service
One of the attributes which differentiates the
American university from most European institu
tions of higher learning Is its utter glorification at
times, of things that are childish, not only in the
matter of purely extra-curricular activities but in
matters of academic interest as well.
Witness a happening at the University of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles recently: A debating team
representing the University of California at Berke
ley challenged the U. C. L. A. orators to dissect
the question, "Resolved: That America is fit for
Communism."
Did the Los Angeles team accept the challenge?
It did not! Its members went to an administration
underling on the campus and that dignitary, anxious
to protect the local adolescents from the insidious
doctrines of the more sophisticated Berkeleyites,
"advised" against holding the debate. Thus was
the world revolution again thwarted.
"You have no sense of humor," messaged Dar
win Brown of the Berkeley team. "The question
of free speech in the university seems to be a farce."
Obviously, if the debate had been held, it would
have been a very Jolly affair, with many a deft
wisecrack from the Berkeleyites, who would have
upheld the affirmative of the question. It would
have been both enlightening and entertaining.
Although the humorless Uclans contrived to
turn the situation into another travesty on academic
freedom, they scared away the big, bad Russian
bugaboo from Berekeley so that the adolescents
will be safe from the agents of Moscow, for a time
at least Meanwhile, we are negotiating for our
pay-off darn these stingy Soviets!
Five Types
Of Students. t
Analyzing college students has become a popu
lar pastime for critics of higher education, and with
their findings one group attacks the methods of
educating, and another attacks the numbers being
educated. As good a classification of students as
we've yet heard was expressed during an informal
talk by Dean Wayne Morse, of the law school, the
acne. evening.
Five types of students enter the halls of learn
ing, points out Dean Morse. The first type includes
the student who Is just plain Indifferent. He goes
to college without knowing just why; his folks foot
the bill. He seldom questions what his professors
put forth, though economic fears may prompt these
dispensers of learning to withhold the obvious if it
seems a bit daring. He gets his degree and becomes
one of the millions.
The constitutional conservative falls into the
second group. He finds comfort in the status quo;
why should he argue and dream and plan and strive
for change? The here and now Is its own defense
and justification. This group is quite often well
versed In history or literature, but dynamic con
clusions are not in the nature of its members.
Third in the list is the hedonist, unconsciously
so, for he does not know hedonism is a philosophy.
He knows "pleasure and pain" as the leading mo
tives of life, he seeks the one and avoids the other.
He it is who gives the administration occasional
trouble and must be reprimanded or sent to an
other environment
Fourth group is the idealist and crusader. He
is the most forceful of college students. He is the
leader of, leagues and protest movements; he em
braces the cause of freedom and justice. He Is
never at rest, and no ideal is too impractical for his
support
And lastly, there is the critical realist He Is
the doubter and skeptic, the eternal aaker of ques
tions. He Is the "why" student. He has the cour
age to disagree, the energy and mental discipline
necessary for practical affairs. He knows how to
use the intellectual tools necessary in any directed
attack on the social problems of the day. Too often,
however, he lacks initiative, purpose, the drive that
t things done.
Out of this deficiency comes the suggestion of
the union of the last two groups, the critical realist
and the Idealist or crusader. To hold the idealist
down to the practical is the task of the realist; to
give purpose to the realist, that of the Idealist
With any group successfully uniting these two emi
nently useful types of student, it is possible to pro
duce surprising results in fields of practical social
and political activity. Oregon Emerald.
BENEATH THE
IKIEAuOONES
By DICK MORAN.
35353.
Italy's dynamic premier, Benito Mussolini, has
waited too long for things to become settled in cen
tral Europe, and now he has decided to start some
thing for himself. He has proposed a three-power
conference to draft some definite plan to decide
once and for all the political and economic problems
affecting the two countries just north of his own.
He has invited representatives from the Austrian
and the Hungarian governments to meet him in
Rome, and the expected result Is a pact containing
more than what the stated purpose of the confer
ence la The conference was scheduled to start
yesterday afternoon with Chancellor Dollfuss of
Austria and Premier Julius Goemboes of Hungary
talking things over with the Fascist leader of Italy.
It Is very generally expected that In addition
to discussing the economic problems affecting Cen
tral European countries, the conference will propose
some sort of alliance which will preserve Austria's
independence against Nazi Germany's attempts to
force the former Into a union with the Retch. In
fact the agreement has already undergone a rough
draft, pending action by the conference, which is
supposed to decide on the details and approve the
document The existing agreements between Italy
and both Austria and Hungary will remain purely
economic, according to Mussolini's plans, but it is
evident that Chancellor Dollfuss wants to go a little
further to protect his government against German
Fascism by an alignment with Italian Fascism.
Premier Goembos has stated that he expects little
mdre than a trade treaty to come out of the meet
ing. The navy is seeking about twenty new war
ships and a considerable increase in its air strength,
and the department has drafted a new bill appro
priating $30,000,000 to start almost immediately on
the project The bill has been prepared on the hope
that the Vinson treaty navy authorization bill will
pass and receive the President's approval. If and
when it does become law, the new bill will be Intro
duced Immediately, after submission to the usual
scrutiny of Director of the Budget Douglas to see
if it Is in accord with tha. President's budget The
Vinson bill gives the President the power to start,
on or after December 31, 1936-the date of the ex
piratlon of the Loudon treaty-the construction of
a fifteen thousand ton airplane carrier to rep ace
the Langley, 99,200 tons of destroyers to replace
aged vessels, and 35,530 tons of submarines to re
place outworn subs in use.
The action taken by the director of the budget
will determine the stand to be taken by the adminis
tration on the Vinson MIL If he approves It. the
answer should be that the administration will sup
port an early start to make the Vinson bill effec
tive. The new bill calls for two 1850 ton destroy
ers, twelve 1500 ton destroyers, and six submarines.
In addition it provides for an increase in the air
craft equipment of the navy, as yet undecided. The
five year program provides for more than doubling
the present strength of one thousand planes. The
navy department is expecting considerable cr tl
clsm from foreign capitals regarding competitive
naval operation but it feels that since this coun
try is much further below Its treaty allowance of
underage ships than the others that there is little
Justificr.tion for any charges that may be brought.
Talk is expected from both Englan.l and Japan.
Survey at Oklahoma University Shows
That Working Girls Get Higher Grades
From Oklahoma Sally
"Heaven help the poor non
working girl." The age old ad
age is reversed at last
A survey completed Thursday
under the dirction of Miss Ima
James, director of physical educa
tion for women with the help of
FERA workers, shows that wom
en, working on the average of four
hours a day, beat the non-working
women exactly .21 of a grade
points.
Picking 210 non-working women
students -at randomr and -aa -equal
number of working women stud
ents, a scholarship comparison of
the two groups was made. The
job holders carried a total num
ber of 2,950 hours last semester
to the non-job holders 3,277, and
made 4,650 grade points to 4,543
grade points of the non-working
students.
"This shows that the working
students made on the average of
1.59 garde points Jo 1.38 of the
non-working students. The av
erage number of hours carried by
each working student was 14.04 to
15.60 hours of the non-working
woman student," Miss James said.
This survey did not Include those
who attended only Saturday
classes and also omitted those at
tending leisure-time classes. These
were omitted because they were
not considered as typical students.
"Because -we-were finable to utt
a re-check on the health of the
420 girls, it was impossible to com
pare their health rate; but judg
ing from the transfers that must
be made in the students' physical
education work about this time of
the year, would Indicate that the
working students are sacrificing
their health for their grade
points."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. March 14.
Katheryn Warner, who recently
quit her job as a waitress at Har

"slick down her hair," this week
expressed herself aa being very
disillusioned about college men.
"Before I started working for
them, I thought Harvard men must
be wonderful," she said. "But I
know better now. A lot of them
are conceits , inconsiderate,
spoiled children.
"But then, some of them are
awfully nice too, like Franklin
Roosevelt, jr. the president's son.
He's a wonderful fellow, so cour

least bit superior In his attitude.
All the girls think he's just grand."
