Ah- Good DckKI
Mr. Hiffri Joiich!
We note with sorrow new evi
dence, of the tlaslflcatlon of the
athletics of the school. In John
Berkley's Inimitable "I May Be
Wrong" column In the Nebraska
State Journal he extols at length
the potential prowess of one he
calls Jack "Good" Dodd. We
have no quarrel with Biff Jones,
his staff, his rigorous practice
sessions. Red blood and brawn
build great gridiron squads. But
we must decry, deplore, censor,
If you please, this Indication of
deterioration In morale and es
prit de corps shown In Player
Dodd's nickname. Baby talk on
the gridiron!
Eyes and See Not.
There are some of us ho "blind"
Hint when Anything happen to
our spectacles vc arc very much
at a loss. Of course we vain wom
en learn to perambulate with rea
sonable efficiency, glasses-less, and
to undertake simpler mechanical
tasks. When there's something Im
portant to be seen, we can always
ask someone of sound sight. But
it's a terrible thins: in a crisis
when the only person near is as
"blind" as your self.
Janet Caldwell and this myoptie
peered across the street by Sosh
in vain t'other noon in an en
deavor to ascertain if the girl in
one of the -ears was Mary Gavin,
or even If the grey car were a
Chevvie. It's an awful thing not
to be able to tell who your friends
are from ten feet. And to those
who think the remedy for the sit
uation is so obvious as not to war
rant discussion, let them remem
ber the words of wisdom from
Dorothy l'urker.
"Men seldom makes passes
At girls who wear glasses."
Hut poor sight may not be an
asset for a man, either. Paul Ward
tells us of a rare example of hu
mor found in Kdgar Allen Toe. 11

"Although we may blame the
older generation for creating chaos
that exists today, youth has the
ability to change conditions if it
will only have the courage and de
termination." believes Miss Lena
Madesin Phillips, president of the
International Federation of Busi

world traveler, writer lawyer, and
associate editor of Pictorial Re

speaker at the Axis dinner honor
ing Mrs. H. H. Wheeler Tuesday
evening at the Chamber of Com

a study of trends of employment
as vitally necessary to aid youth
in preparing for jobs. Miss Phillips
deplored the lack of vocational
directors in high schools and col

on leaving college and emerging
into the world to make a living."
the business woman commented.
"What can we do to change exist

well try to make as much money
as we can. and forget about the

the decision reached by the coun

But the vole on the propo.su I
was close. Like a four to five
decision of tho supremo court, the
council was split, one more vote
being needed to pass tho measure
by the required two-thirds ma
jority. Fifteen votes were required
but when the. final count came,
several members either changing
or having their minds changed
several times, only H could be
found.
Having delayed action on the
proposal for several weeks, and
having alieady vetoed two other
reform bills, the council attempted
to end (he faction squabble by its
action yesterday. According to two
members of the three man investi

tition asking that faction names
be omitted from the spring elec

mediately. With one hundred sig
natures the petition will become
effective without the sanction of
the council. If completed, the pe
tition will be the first ever pre

the student representatives.
Two Issues Involved.
Two issues were involved in th
reform bill which evolved several
weeks ago as a perfection to the
abolition and modification plans
tabled by the judiciary committee.
The first, which involved an
amendment to the student' council
