Phi Beta Kappa
Hangover.
If the criticism made by faculty members of
the Xebraskan'g position in the Phi Beta Kappa
dispute is representative, a "community of schol
ars," when applied to this campus, is a misnomer.
riainly stated was the editorial's objective:
"That method of measuring achievement in the
attainment of a liberal education is grades, and
grades may represent anything from the judicious
choice of 'pipe' courses to the burning of the mid
night oil religiously on the eve of examinations."
The Nebraskan can only regret the misreading by
some individuals as a reflection on the abilities
of all students honored, but we regret even more
that the objective was lost in a wallow of diatribe.
That the Injection of personalities was the
only answer of critics is significant. It might be
well to answer the charges of "sour grapes" by
mentioning that the writer of yesterday's editorial
was a Junior, with a scholastic average which that
august body cannot overlook when they again
bestow their dubious honors. This attitude of
critics can be explained only as blind faith to a
grading system that permits no logical argument.
A revealing survey was made by members of
the Xebraskan editorial staff that will clarify the
main point at issue. One of two students who was
honored by both societies, studying under the
handicap of outside employment, may well consider
his election as an outstanding achievement. Four
others honored by Phi Beta Kappa, worked under
the same handicap. Twelve of the number won
enougn prominence in outside and extra-curricular
activities to find more than empty honor in their
election. But nineteen more than half could
easily class their academic achievements as one
sided. To those students who discarded the blinders
and surmounted the rut of a narrow curriculum,
the whole thinking world presents an "unqualified
orchid."
Perhaps the Xebraskan should have been
charitable, in the belief that a few hits was worth
the scattered shooting. But no significant sector
of the outside world is as charitable.
Because Phi Beta Kappa is still the goal of
senous-minded students, the Xebraskan was roused
10 comment. Because the desire for this distinction
has turned many from the paths of learning to the
acquisition of high grades, the Xebraskan criticized.
Because Phi Beta Kappa has in the past represented
the best in higher learning, we believe that it should
testow more than an empty honor. Because it now
fails to do this, we believe that either the university
or Phi Beta Kappa should alter their standards
so that the goal set before the students might be
one of true leadership.
This dispute brought to light a letter the Xe
braskan received in answer to a faculty survey
made by the editorial staff last February. In re
gard to policy, one instructor made the specific
suggestion "that the Xebraskan might well con
sider whether the yearly attacks on Phi Beta Kappa
and the 'grind' are desirable." We were not aware
until now of the agreement found among successive
editors of the Xebraskan. Here is what a search
Into the files for the past five years yielded:
Arthur Wolf: "The grading system does not
permit scholarship, although many scholars find
their way into the ranks of Phi Beta Kappa. The
fact of the matter is that those who are capable
of cramming a number of farts into their heads
and keeping them there just long enough to pass
an examination are the very ones who are admitted
into membership and classed as scholars."
Gene Robb: "The biggest fallacy in Phi Beta
Kappa is that the honor is based on grades rather
than scholarship. It has often been stated that any
normal student can be a Phi Beta Kappa if he
cnooses the proper courses and proper instructors,
and devotes a little attention to study. Unfortun
ately, this is true."
Elmont Waite: "One should not make a grind
out of himself for Phi Beta Kappa or anything

in paragraph 32 of the manual "Military

clares: "The first amendment to the constitution
declares that "congress shall make no law re

the tree exercise thereof." All persons have the
privilege to entertain any religious belief, prac
tice any religious rite, teach any religious doc
trine, which is not subersive of morality and does
not interfere with the personal rights of others."
Conscientious objection to military science, we
take it, is the practice of a religious rite that inter
leres with the personal rights of the military de
partmbent. If such is not the case, local officials
must never have seen the first amendment to the
constitution.

boys who wish to continue the ed

The bulk of the college work
done by boys of the CCC, is. of

the CCC to make college courses

Leisure Time Study.
Considering the difficulties,
these boys must want an educa

almost entirely manual: building
firebreaks, planting trees, con
structing camp buildings and fire
look-out towers, repairing roads
and. in an emergency such as the
recent "ragic floods, acting as
civilian reserves to protect life
and property. After a day of such
tasks, it is easy to imagine how
tempting is a soft bed or a relax
ing game of cards. The record
shows, however, that a vast ma
jority of the CCC boys prefer to
study in their leisure time. Those

eise. A good deal of a persona college education
could never be gotten from books. That is why we
denounce those people who cram, cram, cram for
an honor which they bold so dear. Until they have
learned the comforts which come from a well
balanced life, they are missing some of the greatest
things in store."
Bruce Nieoll: "The basic evil, we feel, lies in
the system of selection employed by Phi Beta
Kappa. At present the only prerequisite necessary
lor membership is high grades. Obviously well
meaning members of the organization labored under
the illusion that students with high grades meant
good scholars."
l,amolne Bible: "There is also a serious ques
tion as to whether Phi Beta Kappa rewards the
true scholars. Of course, many of those who achieve
membership have thruout their university life con
sistently upheld the highest standards of scholar
ship. On the other hand, there are also present
among the membership those who have gained
their high grades by a process of memory work."
The statement of Clark S. Xorthup, president
of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa in 1921,
offers unbiased evidence for the need of new
standards:
"PersonalV, I believe from the point of view
ot self-preservation alone we must put an end to
this futue supposition that it is really worth while
to go on handing out Phi Beta Kappa keys or key
certificates if they stand for nothing, or at any
rate tor little more than the winning of a high
grade degree. Already, in institutions where this
is the general view of the key, it is taken as some
thing ot a joke."
Whether the solution lies with Phi Beta Kappa
or the university in setting up true educational
standards, the burden of either method is on the
shoulders of the faculty. The recently-inaugurated
practice of awarding degrees with distinction, en
couraging the correlation of courses and develop
ment of individual initiative offers an excellent
source lor a new set of student objectives. If this
award would receive as much support from the
faculty as the sacred cow of Phi Beta Kappa, the
"joke" Mr. Xorthup revers to might not be so
deplorable.

Dishonesty Here.

Although the choicest bits could be picked up in !

are engaged in elementary, high
school and vocational studies.
All of the CCC educational work
is voluntary. There is no rule or
regulation requiring enrollees to
study. They are encouraged to
do so, and an educational advisor
is provided for each camp; but
there are no truant officers to
force the boys to attend classes.
Did you ever hear of "Buckhorn
University," "Fox Hollow Univer
sity." or "Dutch Mountain Uni

Neither had I; but upon investi
gation it developed that the CCC
boys often, on their own time, con
struct buildings to house their
classes. They give these home
made school houses which don't

sounding titles. "Buckhorn Uni

Barb Solidarity?
In barbarisms yesterday, John
Barb wrote his column from the
barb men's viewpoint condemning
"the hashing around with fraterni
ties" which has weakened them in
campus politics, .loan Barb might
like to contest this statement as
not representative of the whole sit
uation of barbs on the campus by
pointing out that barb women have
been working as Independents and
have not "sold their birthrights for
a mess of pottgae" as our sorority
friend was quoted as believing
barbs, in general, would do.
"Xon-orgs" has been suggested
in a Daily Xebraskan column as a
name worthy of the barbs on the
campus. A later editorial states
that the name "non-orgs should be
a direct slap in the face since the
barbs' impotence along this line
(.political Is due to nothing but
their failure to organize." This
statement might also be said to be
a "direct slap in the face" to those
who may be sincerely trying to see
that barbs are given a place in po
litical activities, but who are. nev
ertheless, putting a stumbling
block in their way.
In the March 23rd issue of the
Daily Xebraskan appeared a news
story concerning the coming elec
tion of May Queen. Quoted from
the article is this statement of
Miss Walt, president of Mortar
Board: "Because of the importance
of the honors which are at stake
in the election on Wednesday,
Mortar Board is asking that voters
disregard affiliation and personal
feelings and support those girls
who will truly be worthy of the
honor. We wish to emphasize also
that a girl will be declared ineli
gible In either election if she is
found to be involved in any poli
tical clique. Therefore we are ask
ing that organized houses refrain
from calling other groups for sup
port." As well-meaning as this action
of Mortar Board might have been
in preventing political alliances, it
definitely placed an already handi
capped barb group at a disad
vantage by taking away their only
means of keeping scattered barbs
politically conscious. While Greeks
may easily reach their members
in the houses, barbs must rely on
calling to organize their group.
At first glance, it might seem
that the barbs stand at an advan
tage with their large groups in
contrast to the small competing
Greek houses, but it must be real
ized that the barbs besides being
large are also unorganized. Barbs
may be classed as passive and ac
tive, as barbs for financial reasons
and barbs by choice. There is no
spirit of Gamma Gamma Gamma
around which barbs can rally.
There is no noticeable group of
alumni to carry thru the unor-!
ganized barbs from year to year
and aid them financially. The lead
ers of barbs are individuals who
rise up in the organization from
time to time and who are not al
ways able to build a setup to
carry on their leadership as the
Greek houses do. Organized houses
are the only means of bringing
barbs together socially and politi
cally. Altho socially, the barbs
may feel no distinct inferiority, it
is difficult to stimulate interest in
barb political activities to the point
where it is made potent in campus
elections. The barbs have not yet
"arrived" politically.
One of tiie most effective ways
of bringing roliUcal prestige to the ;
barbs is by tht co-operation of the !
governine boara' of barb men and j
women. By showing their ability to
work together successfully they j
will gain a measure of unity not j
to be equalled by fraternities and
sororities. Barbs must realize that
when a choice between personal
advantage and the advantage 6f
the barb group must be made, the
choice must be made for the ad
vantage of the group, if barbs are
ever to gain political recognition.
Barbs must band together for
their own political advancement
and not for the sake of opposing
the Greek houses. It is a sincere
hope that the Student Union build
ing will provide the nucleus for
the future organization and co
operation ot barb men and women.

(Ed. Note: The following ex
cerpts are reprinted from a
letter appearing in sports editor
Fred Ware's columns of the
Omaha World-Herald, April 5.)
Dear Mr. Ware:
"A few weeks after the more
publicized of the two professional
teams in Pittsburgh gave the
Cornhuskers quite a thumping:
Arny Levin, then student editor of
the Daily Xebraskan, started to
give the Panthers . . . and their
officials . . . holy hell for the
way they conducted their football
(then reported to be game of and
for amateurs). You promptly took
up the torch . . . and minced no
words ...
"There was quite a clamor at
the time to follow Xotre Dame's
example and break off relations
with the United Mine Workers.
When the news finally reached
Pitt that you were burning their
britches behind them, Don Har
rison, who was masquerading
under the title of director but
was only a stooge for Coach
Jock Sutherland, sent a quiet let
ter to you, which you printed.
Harrison aked what in hell all
the fuss was about and stated
(Bulbdin
Farmers Fair oBard.
Members of the Farmers Fair
board will meet at 7:30 o'clock
this evening in the Home Kc par
lor. the ages of the Pitt players,
whom you had called Pittsburgh
adults . . , After that epistle
you became strangely silent, and
even hinted that our good friend
Arny might be suffering from
crackpot His. At the same time
Cy Sheiman . . . and an Oma
ha colleague of yours gave Arny
one of the worst verbal thrash
ings I have ever seen In print.
As a result of heavy criticism
from all sides, Arny had to
give up the battle . "
Now . . here Is is, five months
later and what has happened? We
find . . Titt has fired its athletic
director because he dared to tell
Sutherland to go u little easy on
this subsidization business, the
chancellor (of Pittsburgh) has an
nounced they won't subsidize so
much in the future, which hints
of heavy subsidizing in the past;
the campus editors tat Pitts
burgh) have demanded bigger
and better purchasing of football
talent, and the campus seems firm
ly .. . behind the editors.
"When these developments had
ripened themselves sufficiently
to enable you to anticipate them,
you wrote a few articles on these
strange inconsistencies with Don
Harrison's remarks in that fatal
letter of last fall, and hinted
prcttv strongly that you were
convinced the Pittsburgh boys
were something other than ama
teurs. Cy Shemran has let it be
known that his opinion is very
similar to yours. . . .
"Now to get back to Arny.
He was the boy Cy scoffed at. He
was the boy you left holding the
sack bv leaving the fray yourself.
He was the boy Cy called yellow.
1 realize there' wasn't much you
could do when Harrison wrote that
letter . . . but the thing I am
trying to show is that Arny hit the
nail squarely on the head . . ."

Wants tho Hag
To Knter Politic.
To the Editor:
In reference to Sunday's edi
torial, let a Barb voice his ideas
on the subject not the kind that
needs to hire a hall and use a
soapbox but from a Barb who
is a Barb by choice whose allow
ance is probably greater than two
thirds Of the Greek letter people,
and who is vitally interested and
connected with student affairs.
As for bartering our strength
for one or two offices, it is better
to have those than none. Every
so often, the howl of the Barbs
is loud enough to scare the organ
ized factions into giving us a few
political offices.
"If they want to dictate, they
can." That, dear editor, is a laugh.
When we do get an election, the
cry of "dirty politics" is heard
from one end of the campus to the
other.
The situation may be remedied
in only three ways; the last being
the most practical:
1. Abolish all Greek houses.
2. Compel pledging.
3. Have huge Barb mass meet
ings. Why not let John and Joan Barb
take the situation in hand and
begin a thorough and sincere at
tempt at organization? The Initia
tive once taken. I'm sure their
enthusiasm will reach others and
the Barbs will not be the under
dogs or "overdogs;" just "equal
dogs;" that's all we ask.
It would be very fine if the Rsg,
through its "Barbarisms" would
institute this drive for organiza
tion. It will be then only that
your purpose will be definitely
sincere and not just a mere matter
of good policy.

Project Begun to Further
Independent Reading,
Studies.
"CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (ACP).
To help the alumnus expand on
the knowledge that earned him a
degree, the president of Harvard
university is preparing a "hobby
study'" plan.
So stated Dr. James B. Conant,
president of Harvard university In
his annual report to the board of
overseers.
"Harvard will soon Inaugurate a
novel experiment In 'extra curricu
lar study,' designed to innoculate
students' with the habit of inde
pendent reading and intensive
study apart from courses."
Tlie first subject chosen for the
"hobby" study, he declared, would
be United States history. To this
end, a faculty committee is com
piling a list of books which should
provide the student with the means
to a "partial mastery" of the field.
"It seems to- nie a hopeless task
to provide a complete and finished
liberal education suitable to this
century by four years of college
work," said Dr. Conant. "Th only
worth while liberal education to
day is one which is a continuing
process going on thruout life.
"The possibility of education by
self directed study, by reading in
hours snatched from a busy life,
seems to be only dimly appreciated
by those who enter a business or
profession fresh from the atmos
phere of a university."
American universities must pre
pare to present, thru the radio
and the press, frequent accounts
of their "trusteeship" of scholar
ship and science by accurate and
interesting reports of what they
are accomplishing, Dr. Conant ex
plained. "If knowledge is to lie advanced
in a democracy, the leaders of
opinion and the intelligent voters
must be kept in touch with what
scholarship and research really
signify.
"In a sense, this Is an aspect of
adult education; viewed from an
other angle it is the rendering of
account to the country at large of
the trusteeship of those who man
our universities," continued Presi
dent Conant.
"It is encouraging that the lead
ing newspapers now have devel
oped staffs capable of understand
ing and interpreting the work of
the scholar and the scientist."

point of water conservation, there
is a direct relationship between
the nation's large forest areas and
general agriculture.
"Since the days of the open
prairie, natural brush lands,
woodlands, streams lakes
and marshes," Dr. Condra says,
"we have made it nearly impos
sible for wild-life to survive in
Xebraska. First, we destroyed the
natural living conditions of fish,
birds, mammals and other forms:
second, as 'sportsmen.' we killed
most of the surviving stock; and
third, we are now trying to 'con
serve' the remaining wildlife for
fishing and hunting, knowing as
we must, that the way to save thin
life is by reestablishing the con
ditions (habitats'! under which it
can live and reproduce."
