"I'VE

gone nnend and bought my red cap.
low do I really have lo wear it?" That
h the gist of much conversation which prevails
this week in fraternity and rooming houses
and over the campus generally as freshmen en
counter upperclassmen and converse a bit.
The question is perennial and as such cre
ates a perennial problem. But there is, of
course, only one answer to the question and
that is, "Wear the caps until the frosh have
licked the sophomores in the traditional tug-of-war,
or in the event they lose, until the
deadline set by the Innocents society expires."
Many freshmen believe that they have
discharged their duty through mere purchase
of the red headgear. Others realize that such
is not the case but feel that it is a bit beneath
their dignity to appear on the campus or in
company with their best girl friend with the
scarlet top-piece in evidence. Omitting these
two groups, a fair sized portion of the year
ling class is left which usually begins the year
in true Cornhusker spirit by observing the tra
dition faithfully.
It is a bit early to judge the class of 1930
but the number of frosh caps making their ap
pearance to date hardly con be said to repre
sent the size of the new undergraduate genera
tion. For that reason the "Nebraskan is mak
ing a special appeal to all freshmen, both men
and women, to wear the class emblems of cap
and button so long ns is necessary.
Traditions at Nebraska are conspicuous
by their scarcity. But the few which the cam
pus does cherish are time-honored and hal
lowed. Not least among these is that of fresh
man caps and buttons. It is up to the class of
'39 to demonstrate conclusively that they in
tend to be loyal Nebraskans by whole-hearted
observance of this initial demand upon its
members as a class.
It obtains, of course, that no amount of
co-operation by freshmen will insure luccess
of the tradition. The Innocents society must
do a right-about face from its miserable tactics
of last year when the practice of wearing caps
degenerated into a disgusting farce.
This year's society has made plans to pre
vent recurrence of last year's unfortunate end
ing, and intends to adopt necessary measures
to make the tradition mean something to
freshmen.
The class of '30 has no reason to feel
ashamed of wearing its distinguishing em
blems. This is but one of many times that
freshmen will find themselves beginners ns
each new phase of their existence unfolds.
They should be proud of their position as the
latest edition of a great student institution.
Let's see a red cap on every freshman
head.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
la happy and successful college ca
reer. Not all students desire to
live In the 'give and take' atmos
phere of a group. But for those
who desire It, It is available and
may be very helpful. The student
who is considering membership
should ajk the following- ques
tions:
"Do 1 want to join such an or
ganiration? Will my membership
be mutually beneficial T Is my
budget such that I can Join ? Have
I found the organization with
which I am willing to live and
make my home for my college
life?

Now that rush week is over, many stu
dents can get down to the business of going to
school. Father's car can be sent home, the
high pressure bovs and the handshakers can
take a needed rest, while the pledges, who have
been rushed from house to house for three hec
tic davs, can begin to get used to the feel of
pavement under their feet.
But of course there are many who were
not affected by rush week. Some students did
not care to be rushed, others, could not afford
to belong to a fraternity; still others failed to
make" the house of their choice. This latter
group should not feel downhearted, for a fra-
ternitv is not all of college life.
Because vou are not a fraternity man does
not mean that you are ostracized from society.
You can still go ahead with a profitable and
enjovable college career. If you failed to
"make" a fraternity and feel that your pres
tige has consequently suffered, direct the time
and energy you had planned to give to the fra
ternity to some other field, and sec how quick
ly that lost prestige returns. University Daily

dents. They tend to destroy the
individuality of the student and to
recast him in the set mold of the
particular organization. . . . They
are said to go in for extravagant
social programs, encourage too
much social life, and over-expenditures
for dress. They have been
said to be hotbeds of immorality,
with drinking, gambling, and gen
eral looseness prevailing.
. . . On the other hand, fra
ternities and sororities have been
praised Just as warmly as they
have been criticized. The praise
has come from members, from
college and university officials,
and from the knowing public."
He also states, among the argu
ments for the fraternity, that the
fraternity provides a home away
from home, that it satisfies the
natural desire of individuals to
live in a proup, that it provides an
opportunity for the founding of
enduring friendships, that it of
fers "an Interchange of ideas under
satisfactory conditions between
students, with faculty men. and
guests; that it aids its members
to engage in a sane social program
and encourages them to participate
in worthwhile extra-curricular ac
tivities, and that it provides a
closer discipline upon its members
than non-members may experience.
"Generally speaking." Dean Tur
ner says, "college administrators
have found that the fraternities
and sororities are a definite aid in
the educational program, and the
groups of students in them pro
vide an easy and desirable unit
for administrative problems."
He also states that in many
cases where colleges and universi
ties have criticized and eliminated
fraternities and sororities they
have provided a similar plan eith
er in the form of small living units
or units within dormitories.
Summarizing, he states. "In my
opinion, the fraternal situation in
the midwest at the present time is
about as follows:
"The financial condition of most
chapters which have survived the
past five years is safe and show
ing a constant improvement. . . .
There is no undemocratic spirit
apparent, and better feeling pre
vails at the present time between
independent and organized stu
dents than has in many years.

for
arship is more encouraging now
than it has ever been. More atten
tion is being paid to scholastic
standings of prospective members
than ever before, and many fra
ternities with the aid of college of
ficers are installing tutors or pre
ceptors in their houses to aid in
scholarship. Conditions for study
in the average fraternity are prob
ably better than in the average
rooming house or dormitory.
"There has been no indication
of losses of individuality among
members; in fact, the outstanding
different personalities are sought
and considered as assets by chap
ters. Fraternities and sororities ,
undoubtedly lead in extra-curricu- 1
lar activities; let a student show
strength in this field and he is
sought as a member immediately.
The same is true of campus poli

ject came after a vear of work
by the council committee during
which members spent a treat
deal of time in contacting other
universities in order to find out
how atulent bookstores were op
erated in other schools. Commit
tee members then tried to formu
late a plan which would operate
successfully on this campus and
endeavored to contact a majority
of students on the campus to ob
tain their approval of the project.
Students Approve Project.
Last spring petitions were cir
culated and approximately 3,000
students affixed their names to
them indicating: that they favored
the proposal.
Student leaders expressea Keen
disappointment after learning of
the recents' decision but indicated
that as yet there were no definite
plans for continuing the drive.
Co-operative Plan Possible.
"The council may try a co-op-eratlve
plan," stated Virginia Sel
leek, chairman of the booksiom
committee, "Our original Intention,
however, was to create a book
store where students could receive
money directly for their texts."
The only co-operative bookstore
on the campus at the present time
is the Swap Shop situated in the
Temple building and sponsored by
the university Y. VV. C. A.
