Mortar Board Urges
Intelligent Voting
TO THE EDITOR:
On Wednesday junior and senior women
in the university will go to the polls to nomi
nate a number of junior women for member
ship in Mortar Board, national senior women's
honorary. The final selection is made by the
active chapter of Mortar Board, but it is cus
tomary to ask the upperclasswomen to express
preferences for the honor. The number to be
nominated is not set, but it shall not be more
than 20 or less than 5. The group chosen will
be "masked" in the traditional ceremony on
Ivy day, May 6. Until then the selection re
mains secret.
The fact that the upperclasswomen are
Invited to vote Wednesday should instill in
them a sense of responsibility which should
instigate the casting of the largest vote in
the history of the election. A responsibility
on which depends the selection of a limited
number of women, for the undergraduate
honor of Mortar Board, should not be held
lightly. The privilege of indicating prefer
ences for the honor has been accorded upper
classwomen because it is felt that the "chos
en few" should be representative of the opin
ion of their campus companions.
However, the election is not a popularity
contest. There are three qualifications which
must be met. The standards of Mortar Board,
upon which rest the tradition and honor of se
lection, are leadership, scholarship and service.
Participation in extracurricular activi
ties is not enough. There must be included
that satisfaction of a job well done, a trust
well kept and an unviolated responsibility.
To place an undue emphasis upon one of the
threefold standards would be the defeat of
purpose and the betrayal of an aim which
has been handed down thru the active chap
ters of Mortal- Board on this campus for 18
years, and before. Hack Masque, the local
chapter, maintained the present standards in
their first election in the spring of 1905.
The ballot handed you junior and senior
women will be blank. Upon that ballot Mortar
Board asks you to place the names of five or
more, not to exceed 20 junior women, whom
you feel best exemplify the established stand
ards, those of leadership, scholarship and
service. For the privilege you receive in re
turn we ask you to indicate fairly without the
workings of personal prejudice those whom yon
feel should be rewarded for effort well spent,
in the classroom and in extracurricular ac
tivities. In the fall of 1937, Dean Amanda Hepp
ner spoke to the women on the campus who
expressed a desire to participate in the uni
versity's extracurricular program. Her sub
ject was "The Philosophy of Activities,"
and she imparted to the group that philos
ophy on which participation should be based.
Mortar Board is not an end to be gained by
working in certain set paths with that end
forever in view; it is not equivalent to a
raise in salary or a better job. It is rather
the natural distinction afforded those who
have given most in Bervice and leadership,
while maintaining an adequate average in
academic work. The joy of service in extra
curricular work that suits and pleaBeB the
participant most should be the reward with
Mortar Board the culmination of a well
rounded university life.
The active chapter of Mortar Board asks
you to ponder these things and give your se
lection serious consideration before it is placed
finally upon the ballot. We share our privi
lege of selecting the new chapter of Mortar
Board with you upperclasswomen and we sin
cerely hope that you will feel your responsi
bility ns we feel ours and cast a fair and im
partial ballot Wednesday.

SOCIAL WORKERS GROUP
APPROVES GRAO COURSES
Nebraska Students May Now
Join U. S. Association
Says E. F. Witte.
Dr. Ernest F. Wltte, director of
the new graduate school for social
work of the university of Ne
braska, received notice that the
courses being offered by the school
for 1938-39 have been officially ap
proved by the American Associa
tion of Social Workers. This
means that ntudenta taking the
work here will be eligible for mem
bership In the association. Accord
ing to Dr. Wltte, this procedure is
necessary because the school has
not been established long enough
to entitle It to membership In the
American Association of Schools
for Social Workers.

MINNIE WRITES HER
LETTER TO GUSSIE
You know, Gussle, I guess it's
Just not quite proper to do any
studying around this institution
any more. It seems like the spring
in the air has just got everyone
doing most everything except
spending time on the books.
Here it Is, Sunday again. We
don't do much on Sundays down
here just sleep late, eat a big
meal, and get out in our new
clothes. Sunday, as a day, has
changed. Several months ago, we
could fill stay Tiome on Sundays
and catch up. But now we don't
even dust off those books that we
flopped on our desk last Friday
afternoon.
FUN A-LOAFING
You know, Gussle, college stu
dents sure seem to have a lot of
pare time. Of course, I'm not
speaking of all of them, but
moat of them seem to, They've
Iwaya got time for hifangled
parties and picnics, probably the
kind that your folks would
frown upon. They go out rid
ing In cart and act silly and
have fun. They go to the shbws
and never teem to have a worry.
They seem to have more leisure
time even than your drinking
WPA Uncle 8pud.
I've written more than I in
tended already, Gussie. But talk
ing about leisure reminds me of
something I was reading about
Just the other day. Some profes
sor by the name of Edward Thorn-
dike at Columbia university says
that we will do a lot of those
things whether we have time or
not. In an analysis of our low
mindednrss, he points out that our
craving ror entertainment is so
insitiable that most of us give
ourselves up to riding, dancing,
games, sports, listening to the ra
dio, going to movies and olher
forms of amusement and recrea
tion, no matter how much leisure
time we mav have
SATISFYING DESIRES
FOR 25 HOURS
Why. he says that we Ameri
can studntt spend exactly 25
out of every 40 hours for enter
tainment and gratification of de
tires for companionship. Imagine
that, Gustie! Or can you? Yet
tir, something'! got to be done
about these itudenti and their
leisure time.
Do you reallre how Rome fell,
Gussie? They say that there are
sure a lot of comparisons between
the Romans and the Americans.
I guess no great civilization ever
has developed leisure and lived,
and I guess America will be no
exception. Given leisure time, men
will go to sleepthHt is, they will
ice nown, get sort, hecome the on
looker, cease to be vigorous and
inus lose initiative.
Yet sir, Gussle, we !tudentt
have a real problem. In fact I'm
just beginning to realize It.
After all If we student! who,
they lay, are the one! to rule
the destinies of civilization don't
make use of our leisure, how
can those whom we are going to
govern.
But we don't have to worry
much. Correct use of leisure time
doesn't mean study.
There isn't much other news,
Gussie. I told you about the Corn
Cohs reorganization in the last
letter. The Student Council hasn't
done anything; about the men's
activity point system yet and the
T. N. E.'s haven't caught up with

Answering the question, "Edu
cation for What?" Dr. C. W. Scott
of the teachers colkge faculty
warner that the schools of the
country must do an about face and
Instead of emphasizing individual
istic social attitudes, must begin
to educate students for co-operative
living. This is necessary, he
says, if society is to survive. His
recent article, "which was published
in the current issue of The School
Executive, points out that compe
tition is still regarded as the life
of trade in school activities.
"We exalt boys and girls who
stand at the head of their classes,
characterising them as the type
who get ahead," he said. "We ar
range contests in practically all
school activities and try to stimu
late the competitive spirit by of
fering rewards. Nothing, not even
music, escapes our emphasis of
competition."
Influence Thru Social Attitude.
Dr. Scott believes that what
ever social Influence the school
may exert now or in the future
will be exerted largely thru the
general social attitude that it helps
to create among the citizens of
the nation. He points out that
from the beginning the American
schools have been a bulwark of
individualism, having been devel
oped during a period character
ized by Individualism, in policies,
economic and social organization.
And that the school continues to
day to support individualism is ev
ident, he says, from any study of
its social teachings, the social
ideas that it emphasizes and of
the altitudes held by the majority
of public school graduates.
A recent study of the social
ideas presented in civics textbooks,
which was made bv an eastern ed
ucator, revealed that a majority
of these books are intended to ex
ert a conservative influence.
View Economics Defemively.
"They present the American
form of government In an uncriti
cal fashion, the constitution as
tho it were a seml-sacred docu
ment, and the decisions of the Su
preme Court as tho they consti
tuted the final word on the issues
concerr " The study further
showed tnat the treatment of eco
nomic questions by these books Is
of a type intended to defend
rather than to study critically the
various phases of economic life.
"We still tend to emphasize in
dividualistic virtues and the eco
nomic ideal of success in our
teaching and counseling," Dr.
Scott stated. "Even in the field of
guidance we encourage .ndividuals
to develop and place themselves at
the point of greatest personal prof
it with little reference to social
alms."
Schools Lag Behind.
The university educator says the
best evidence that high school
graduates have individualistic so
cial attitudes Is the fact that al
most half of them wish to enter
the professional, semi-professional
and recreational occupations. Since
there is at present a definite trend
toward greater interdependence, It
naturally follows that the school
Is In error in continuing to stress
individualism. Instead of leading
the way or assisting society to
find the way, the school is actually
lagging behind the social proces
sion. "Not only our secondary schools,
but schools in general are still op
erated on a basis that militates
against the development of ability
on the part of youth to live co
operatively." In fact, "the dicta
torial basis on which we organize
and administer our schools makes
It extremely difficult for students
to learn to live together coop
eratively In school."
Reorganize School Activities.
What changes would the schools
need to make to effect the proper
emphasis on cooperative living?
Dr. Scott says that all phases of
school activities would have to be
reorganized and conducted In such
fashion as to stres's cooperation.
For example, In the field of the
curriculum, there would be ft
greater emphasis of social f.nd
economic facts. After all, the fact!
concerning present-day social and
economic life point to the conclu
sion that we should plan to live
cooperatively.
Individual schols would become
laboratories in which young citi
zens would gain experience in co
operative living. "As long as we
tell pupils what to do and police
them carefully to see that they
obey, we may be sure that they
will develop "neither desire nor
ability to live with one another on
a cooperative basis," according to
Dr. Scott.
A final reason why schools
should stress cooperative living is
found in the obligation of the
school to help individuals develop
a big social ideal around which
they may organize their lives.
Such a generation of citizens
would constitute the best possible
insurance for the future of our
democracy."
The graduate aehool of social
work has been asked to provide
speakers for the state meeting of
health societies at Grand Island
April S. Dr. K. K Wltte, director
of the school, will appear on the
program. Members of the school's
faculty will also appear on the
programs of the Federated Wo
men's cliih at Ansley, Neb. April

social agencies at Sioux City April
