In the Manner
Of Columnists-
The pen pushing colleague who handed us a
copy of last Sunday's Communist Daily Worker
didn't have a bomb hidden in his beard, but there
was a twinkle in his eye as he pointed out the front
page story headed: "College Professors Spread Hit
ler Propaganda Here."
Quick to attract the eye was the smiling
picture of Dr. Fredereich Schoenemann, exchange
professor during the first semester at the Univer
sity of Nebraka, and the explanation: "This gen
tleman was formerly an instructor in German at
Harvard university. He is a close student of mass
propaganda and its technique and wrote a book
called 'The Art of Mass Propaganda In the
U. S. A.' "
In the vein of very contemporary critics, the
communists are undoubtedly "sour grapes" because
the university would rather hear fascist than col
lectivist propaganda. You don't believe it? Re
member, Nebraska nearly ran Harry Elmer Barnes
out of town not long ago when he professed belief
in the economic interpretation of history.
If you've ever been in the average Nebraska
town or country home, you've probably seen a copy
of Nelson Antrim Crawford's ably edited Household
Magazine. If truthfulness has anything to do with
success, we predict a bright future for Novelist
Marjorie Burcham Bayley, writing in the April
issue. An instructor is speaking:
"You know how it is in university circles. A
teacner, to gain any recognition at all, must keep
getting degrees and yet more degrees. It costs
money for a year's leave of absence to study, every
so otten. By the time I'm 50, I may be able to
marry, but that's too late to start a family. I'd be
senile before a child of my own would be grown."
"Do you mean to say that, after all the years
you've been here, the university Isn't paying you a
living wage?"
"Oh, that, of course. But a man of my age
and position would be expected to maintain an
establishment of a certain standard. And I'm not
getting enough for that. Other universities pay
their professors more. But we're in the agricul
tural region and you know how the farmers have
been hit the last few years. The salaries of the
teaching force have been cut to a minimum. If I
could have taken an offer I got from an eastern
college last year Too many of our best teach
er nave deserted Nebraska to take better posts.
Don't you agree?"
The Nebraskan staff toured Ag campus Satur
day atternoon, had a look at the attractive acreage
where the whole university should have been built.
They nave a swell open air theater at one end of
the campus, and the whole staff was wondering
Why couldn't the Ivy day ceremonies be trans
planted to the Ag college campus this year? Of
course, the May queen wouldn't be able to hide in
Pharmacy hall, and the daisy chain wouldn't have
to dodge falling bricks and mortar, but it seems
those are traditions we could dispense with.
Ivy day is one of the few colorful ceremonies to
be found at Nebraska. Why can't we put it in a
colortul setting ?
Before the controversy over Phi Beta Kappa,
the writer could walk the streets without a body
guard. Since hiring one, we've been wondering
what should prevent us from incurring the wrath
of the rest of 50 odd honoraries that clutter up the
campus.
Nebraska students pay out over $6,000 an
nually In initiation fees alone to the most useless
sacred cows of the entire Hellenic brotherhood.
Even the Phi Betas don't get In free.
Two days ago, the student senate at the Uni
versity of Illinois voted to deny recognition to
31 honorary and professional Greek letter groups
unless they cut Initiation fees and dues obvi
ously designed to make them sever the expensive
national connection.
If the student council's docket isn't filled with
faction disputes, it might well consider similar ac
tion for the Nebraska campus. Those organizations
which now exist only to raise money for their an
nual dues would eventually peter out. Those pro
fessional groups which now justify their existence
by educational activities would continue to prosper.
And 6,000 iron men would stay on the campus.
Decentralization of college honoraries would
not only save the campus money, but would tend to
build up the strength of every university depart
ment. We leave it to you as to which set of standards
would benefit the university most those of Phi
Beta Kappa, or the requirements for a degree with
distinction a Nebraska product:
1. To be eligible for these honors a student
must have earned at least 60 hours in residence be
fore graduating, and must also have made a worthy
scholastic record in his first two college years, one
evidence of which might be an average standing of
at least 85 percent.
2. Students desiring to become candidates for
these honors are expected to enroll with the dean of
the college of arts and sciences not later than the
middle of the junior year, and preferably at its be
ginning. Upon the recommendation of the stu
dents adviser in his major field, and with the ap
proval of his committee on degrees with distinction,
sucn student is admitted as candidate for gradua
tion. 3. Each candidate for these honors must pur
sue a course of studies that shall be under the
authorization of this committee on degrees with
distinction. That committee is concerned to co
operate with the student's major adviser in order
to insure that the work done be such as to provide
maturity and vigor of thought, competence in
scholarly ideals and methods, and cultural breadth.
4. During the last semester of his senior year
tne candidate will take a special comprehensive
examination, which may touch upon any part of the j
field of his college course. This examination is de-
signed to be not merely a test of memory, but
ramer of assimilation, of culture, and of power to
command or use the knowledge which courses of
stui-iy have put within the candidate's reach. The
candidate is required to submit a substantial speci
men or specimens of written work that he may have
none dunng his last two years. In addition he may
elect to pursue a planned course of reading outside
the scope of his classroom work, for which he may
receive not to exceed four hours credit; or in lieu
of otner written work he may prepare a thesis,
whicft, if acceptable, may receive not to exceed four
nours credit.
5. It is designed that about 2 percent of the
graduates of a given year might gain the degree
with high distinction, and in addition, about 4 per
cent the degree with distinction. While the differ
ence between these two ratings is fundamentally a
qualitative one. yet it is judged that candidates for
the higher honor should in general undertake to
submit a specially prepared thesis of such merit
as to substantiate his claim to such ranking.

Pershing's Riflemen Won.
The history tl Pershing Rifles
is essentially a history of Lincoln
and the university itself. When
General Pershing established his
crack drill squad here in 1892 the
organization took on the name of
Varsity rifles. Under the general's
personal guidance his boys won
national recognition when they
were awarded first place in a na
tional contest. When General
Pershing was transferred from the
university in 195 the Varsity rifles
voted to change their name to
Pershing rifles.
It is interesting to note that
Col. W. H. Oury served as captain
of Pershing rifles here at Nebras
ka in 1898 and at the time of the
Spanish American war he and a
group of his Pershing riflemen en
listed In the government service.
The colonel was given the rank of
captain largely because of his suc
ces in drilling his student com
pany at the university.
26 Schools Belong.
The national organization of
Pershing rifles was actually
started in 1925 when a drill unit
from Ohio State unlversiy was ad
mitted as Company B. Since that
time intfv-est in the honorary mili
tary organization continued to
grow until now 26 schools belong
to the organization. These are as

Barb or Greek
May the Best Man Win.
To the Editor:
And to you organized Greeks
and unorganized Barbs, I have
been on this campus for three
years and have noticed that it
doesn't make s whole lot of differ
ence in the elections whether the
nominee is affiliated or non-af
filiated. It seems the most capable
person usually wins regardless of
whether he is a Greek or a Barb.
I am a Barb by choice because 1
knew that while I was a pledge
I would resent being a "stooge"
for some overbearing active, clean
ing the room of some upperclass
mate. beinz told what fellows from
what fraternities I could ''date, or
hearkening to the dictates of some
assuming president who told me
what way I would vote.
It is obvious to everyone that
the Greeks are well organized
seemingly obvious that thru or
ganization they get in the man or
woman whom they want. And, of
course, there Is always the "dirty
politics" going on. It's "dirty"
when the frat fellows get several
identification cards of people who
are unconcerned about which way
the election might go and then let
each fellow vote four or five times
during the day. ,
But, then, it's "dirty," too, when
these big-mogul, loud-mouthed
Barbs get out In some car and
'Hear ye. Hear ye' to all the in
nocent looking people who aren't
aware of the fact that the:'e is an
election until they get 8 carload
of people and deposit them at the
polls with the admonition or may
be in some cases the plea to vote
for the Barb nominees. It's all
politics all in the game; and both
types work. The Greeks, of course,
have it all over the Barbs in that
their way is much less conspicuous,
much more clever, and decidedly
less expensive.
Perhaps people are forgetting
the fact or maybe they have never
been aware of the fact that in the
long run the best man wins, be he
Barb or Greek. The Greeks hold
more major offices because they
long since have recognized the
merits of some student and have
pledeed him. He goes to the top.
Few important people remain-
Barbs but when they do tney, aiso.
go to the top. The Barbs haven't
anything to kick about; when we
put up a man better than an af
filiated man, the Greeks elect him.
And when the Greeks put up a
man better than an unaffiliated
man (which is more often the case)
I do my part in electing him.

SOCRATES SABOTAGES PONTIAC PUBLICITY
Anonymous Editorial Contributor Matches John Held, Jr., With the Sage in
the Socratian Manner.
We Thought This
Was Settled Once.
To the Editor:
I would be willing to bet my last
dollar to a doughnut that the per
son who replied to Dr. Raysor in
Friday's Nebraska will never come
nearer to a Phi Beta Kappa key
than seeing it on somebody else's
watch chain. Those quaint little
parrot relies sound very much
like the answer of Aesop's fox
when it couldn't reach the grapes.
"Well, they'd most likely be sour
anyway."
PHEBE HILL.
(Ed. Note: If NebrasVan reader
Hill will refer to the Wednesday
and Thursday issues of the paper,
she mav find an even iucier dis
cussion of "sour grapes" which
she evidently missed.)
What Do the
Barbs Want
To the Editor:
There were a few inches of
space in this sheet the other day
that were "crying the blues" for
the barbs.
I want to know what's this
fight all about May queen? Po
litical offices? If It is;Thow will
it affect the Barb student body?
What will it do for them?
Even the smallest politician has
some kind of a platform. What
is the Barb platform?
If the so-called Barb leaders can
show me where there is anything
to fight for, and how it can be
accomplished. I can show them
some support.
The Daily Nebraskan distributes
about eleven hundred copies to
organized Greek houses. (Mem
bership about 1S50). The news
stand distributes about 500 copies
presumably to barbs and there
are about 3600 Barbs. It will
lake more than news space in the
Daily Nebraskan to reach this
group.
Get. s platform that will do
something for the Barb's first,
then you can do something if you
want to.

that faction names be eliriiinated
from the election ballots. Present

of a motion at a recent council
meeting, the measure was defeated
by the assembly on a one vote
margin. Working hard to bring
about what he believes will Im

In the race for Ivy Day orator
Author's note: The following conversation was
overneard shortly after the anonuncement that the
University of Nebraska would go on the air on the
Pontiac program May 7 ) :
Socrates: I understand, Mr. Held, that you are
going to inform the public of the activities and
cnaracter of the University of Nebraska?
John Held( Jr.: You bet we are, Socrates;
we re going to sell culture right down to the grass
roots. Teh good old university will go right along
with the Pontiac.
Socrates: Poontiac? That's the name of a
car, isn't it?
Held: I'll say. One of the classiest wagons
on tne
soc: Tell me, Mr. Held, are these programs
arranged to inform the people of the state about
the University or are they designed to sell Pontiac
cars .'
Held: That's the wow, Socky. They do both.
Of course, we have t,o keep the Pontiac to the
front because they're putting up the dough, see?
But the University gets a break too, see?
soc: I see. The automobile salesman broad
casts tn? merits of the Pontiac, and then a member
of the aca-lcmy discusses some problem of knowl
edge t
Held: Don't be sil. Do you think our gang
of nit-wit dial-twisters would stand for that high
Drow stuff? We've got to have some cuties with
baoy voices pour some hotcha onto the ether, or
nave a few good swing numbers from tne giee ciuo,
or out here In the wilds of Nebraska we could
ues some good western stuff, see?
soc: Then the programs aren't really the
work of the university?
Held: Why Socrates, I'm surprised at you! Do
you think we could risk all this dough by letting
tnose college hamateurs do what they wanted to on
a Pontiac program?
soc: But I thought it was a university pro-,,
gram.
Gags and Gals,
Held: Now Socrates, get this straight. We're
selling cars, see? We're not interested In educa
tion, see? But we can use what the colleges have
got, see? We send a man around to pick the
cuties, smooth the Jazz, and put a kick In the gags.
Then he takes what he wants and puts It on the
air and the college gets a break, see?
Soc: "Gets a break." I'm afraid I don't
understand.
Held: Publicity! Seventy stations! A na
tional hook-up! And free, see?
soc: Now publicity, Mr. Held, means to be
widely and favorably known?
Held: Leave out that "favorably," Socky. Pub
licity is publicity. There ain't any bad publicity.
Kvery knock's a boost and every boosts's a boost.
Why, if the University of Nebraska had a co-ed
wno s take a bath in the agora here, it'd make
tne tront pages of every paper in the country,
and there'd be two people talking about the campus
10 one who had ever heard of It before. " And what
a break for the girl, too! No sir, there ain't any
cad publicity. Why, look at the Ford Joke book!
It was worth millions.
Soc: But surely some publicity is better than
some other?
Held: Oh, sure.
isoc: And that publicity is best, perhaps, which
reflects most accurately the true nature of its sub
jects .'
Held: Hold it, Socrates. Stay on the ground.
1 don't quite get you. ,
soc: I mean this. To advertise the speed
ana power of your Pontiac you would not broadcast
tne sound effects of a Than clucking to a sleepy
team of horses?
Held: Right you are.
soc: Or to illustrate its silence you would not
shake before the microphone a tin can?
Held: Not quite. But what
soc: Or to represent the deep tones of its
melidious horn you would not use a child's whistle?
Held: OK, wise guy. So what?
The True Mirror.
hoc: Only this. The publicity by which a
thing is known should try to represent accurately
the true nature of its subject?
Held: Sounds hokay. I think you've got some
thing there, Socky, old boy.
Soc: Now tell me, Mr. Held, which is more
important, automobiles or education, getting there
or being somebody when you've arrived?
Held: Well, that's a spot 1
Soc: Never mind. Just tell me. Do you think
it reflects the true nature of a university to have
It help sell automobiles?
Held: I never really thought
soc: I didn't think so, but try this one. Do
you think the university is performing its true
lunction when it serves as the backdrop for a
musical comedy broadcast by, I believe your phrase
was "hof cuties ?"
Held: There I've got you, Socky. Everybody
Knows there's a lot of this hotcha stuff in the
colleges, and we're Just broadcasting it, see? Why,
you wouldn't ever hear of thjse places if it wasn't
ror the football teanfs. And the colleges get the
oenetit of the publicity.
soc: You say everyone knows of the hotcha
Ftuff in the colleges?
Held: Sure, that's the real
Soc: And the football teams are well-known?
Held: Of course.
soc: Then why broadcast what everyone
already knows?
Held: Now really, Soc
soc And if this is already known as the
hallmark of college life, I suppose there really isn't
any of what you call the "benefit of publicity?"
Drum Up Business.
Held Now wait a minute. If you get on the
air see-' And everyone hears about you, see?
Then maybe they'll write in and ask what courses
tne" faculty's giving. And then when the students
come to school, you can use your think-tank on
tnem, see? . .
soc I believe you referred to your audiene
as "nit-wit dial-twisters." eTll me, Mr. Held, does
it make any difference to you if your audience
is composed of such people?
Held: Not the slightest! If they're bright
enough to buy Pontlacs, that suits me. That's
what buys my groceries and that's all I care about.
soc: But a university, Mr. Held. Can such
an audience with its mind on Pontlacs be encour
aged to think deeply on the nature of a university
and of its value to the state?
Held- You bother me, Socrates, you bother me.
soc: And won't thoughtful people, whose in
fluence and opinions are important, be sickened by
tne spectacle of educational endorsements of auto
mobiles and the crooning of "May I Have the Next
Komance with You?"
Held: Now that I think of it, I
Soc: And aren't the difficulties which institu
tions of learning now face largely due to the wide
spread popular impressions that they are places of
Idleness, pleasure and superficiality?
Held: Sounds reasonable, Socrates.
Soc : Did you ever see a sensible treatment of
' college life in the movies? Did you ever see
students portrayed as anything but light-weights,
or teachers as other than eccentric comics?
Held: Never.
Soc: And do you think that treatment does
tne cause of education any good?
Held: I don't suppose it does.
Soc: Won't young graduates suffer from this
widespread estimate of college life when they try
to convince future employers of their seriousness
ana competence?
Held: That may be
Soc: And do you think that the use of the
colleges to help sell Pontiacs does the cause of
education any good. Mr. Held?
Held: Now look here, Socrates, I've stood
Soc: No offense, Mr. Held. You have to
live, ot course. But answer my question.
Do They Bite!
Held: No, frankly, Socrates, I don't. But look
here. It's my turn to ask a question. Let's say
you're right. Now why should all these colleges
jump at the chance to get this free publicity if it's
what you say?
Soc: Just what did you tell them, Mr. Held?
Held: We told them this was a fine chance
to gei some publicity and to show the public their
fine talent.
Soc: Did you tell them you were chiefly inter
ested in selling Pontiacs?
Soc: Did any of them seem to suspect it?
Held: Socrates, honest, it was a laugh. Just
between us, I never had an easier time selling h
skit. Why, these colleges were publicity crazy!
Here I was, desperate for a program, you know.
And then this feeble little idea came along. I
says to myself, "Johnny, they'll never tumble for
it." You know, me thinking these boys in th)
academies was the heavy thinkers. Tumble for it?
Why, I had to fight 'em off! And cheap? Say,
It's a steal. When I think of what Ford has to put
up every week, and what old G. M. has to give
up tor that Sunday Evening Hour, I Just have to
scream. And the best of it is, if it's a sour program
ana most of 'em, Socky, are pretty lousy we let
the public understand that it's the school, not old
G. M., that foozled it.
Soc: Then you mean these director of pub
licity are not thinking for themselves?
Held: Thinking for themselves? Don't make
me laugh, Soc. We supply a formula, see? So
many gags, so many hot songs, so much Alma
Mammy sob stuff and Rah, Rah. Then a couple
of weeks before we go on the air one of our boys
comes around to smooth the stuff a bit. After
all, you know, Pontiac has to be careful.
Soc: Tell me, Mr. Held. Did you ever hear
of one of the men on Olympus who said he'd rather
De entirely forgotten than to be remembered as one
who aevoured his children as soon as they were
born ?
Held: I never heard of him, Socky. But what
a publicity stunt!
Soc: There are very few, Mr. Held, who are
capable of understanding what he meant. (Socrates
