Collegians have
No Manners
To Speak Of
Says magazine writer
Manners or rather the lack of them among
Nebraska students has inspired some local dis
cussion recently, so it is with some feeling of per
sonal interest that Cornhuskers may read an ar
ticle in the June McCall's magazine treating this
subject of collegiate rudeness on a national scale.
The writer, it seems, took a trip about the coun
try not long ago, and found "likeable, sound boys
and girls behaving with a shocking rudeness and
uncouthness." A list of the most common offenses
are given, starting off with loud and boisterous be
havior at motion picture theaters where collegians
often show slight consideration for other patrons
who may have come really to see and hear rather
than be seen and heard. Coeds come in for a good
share of the responsibility for men's bad manners
They don't seem to object to having a man talk to
them with his hat on, perhaps even deaning his
nails the while, and on picnics they show no re
serve about lolling about on the ground in semi
public and "running their fingers thru the hair of
the adjacent boy." "Indiscriminate familiarity with
men, publicly ani privately," are described as
among the most disturbing traits among under
graduates today.
Intolerance of those with differing views and
refusal to associate or even listen to them is an
other offense laid at the feet of college students.
"Boisterous and uncultivated speech" with young
people absolutely straining themselves to avoid
sounding well-bred is another. "Sloppy, uncon
ventional, uncivilized dress and bearing" is said
to apply to both men and women, with one house
mother summing it up with the statement, "girls
will look as pretty and well-groomed as anyone
could wish on Saturday dance night, but they
have a curious notion they are invisible during
the other days of the week." However, even when
they are formally dressed, collegians' actions are
far from proper as coeds pull down their girdles
on the dance floor with obvious gestures, comb
their hair, stare into vanity-case mirrors, and
lay on the make-up Just as tho they were home
at their private dressing tables. Table manners
are ignored quite bland'y, particularly among
men, with such offenses as reaching across one's
fellow diners for a dish and eating soup with a
noisy gurgle. Last but not least, the magazine
article takes note of collegians' tendency to be
untidy and even destructive as they litter lawns,
throw cigarette subs on polished floors and rugs,
and generally scatter debris wherever they move.
"Will hostesses trust them in well-furnished draw
ing rooms?" wonders the writer and doubts it.
Why do America's well-educated young people
behave thus ? The head of a psychology department
is quoted as saying, "It is because they think their
elders have made a muddle of the world and they
have do respect for their traditions of behavior."
Whether that is true or not, rules of etiquette are
designed for the most part to smooth out the diffi-

A PASSING SHOWER?
More than ever it appears that the current crisis
within the British government will come and go
with no tangible results. Yesterday's debate brought
charges of inefficiency from labor members, changes
which in turn resulted in cries of "shame" directed
against the protesting members by the govern
ment's supporters.
Lloyd George yesterday led the attack in the
house of commons. In brief, his contention was that
nothing would contribute more towards victory in
the war than the resignation of Chamberlain. No
more apt criticism could be made of the govern
ment than the words which the fiery Welshman
spoke, "For three or four years everything that has
been done has been half-hearted and ineffective,
without drive or intelligence. The prime minister
has met this formidable foe in peace and war. He
has always been worsted."
On one point Lloyd George's accusations agree
with the beliefs of the Italians, Hitler's partner in
the current game, tho they' approach the question
from a different direction. Lloyd George says vic
tory for the allies demands the resignation of Cham
berlain's government; the Italian press approaches
from a different direction and states that the Ger
mans desire nothing more than that the present
British government remain in power.
Nothing at present indicates that there will be
a change in government. There are plenty of Eng
lishmen who would along with Lloyd George and
Herbert Morrison like to see Chamberlain kicked
off the bus, but the difficulty is much the same one
which faces the republican leaders in the United
States in their opposition to candidate Dewey. They
don't like the man, but where will they find an
adequate substitute. The list of British substitutes is
limited, and tho none could possibly be worse tban
the man now in office, the change would probably
be shocking to British sensibilities.
FINISHED CHAPTER.
Norway will probably become more or less of
a closed book from now on. With the Germans in
full control of central Norway, we will probably
hear nothing but accounts of the peace and tran
quility which the nazi regime has brought to the
Norwegians by freeing them from the despotic
rulers. Possibly Norway will be "peaceful." Reduc
ing Caesar's formula by one, it can be said that
all Norway seems divided into two parts loyal
Norwegians and Norwegian traitors. The traitors
may find the nazi rule not too much to their liking,
but having chosen their bed, they should lie, or die,
in it. The other Norwegians are not so numerous
that if they evidence any dislike for nazi rule they
cannot all be herded into concentration camps. Yet
perhaps it would be more appropriate and more in 9
line with developing German "idealism" to follow 2
the policy inaugurated in Poland. In Poland there
are no concentration camps they are not needed
where the least disagreement or the slightest cock
eyed look means a bullet in the back. It is probable
that the Norwegians would prefer this type of
"peace" to the nazi methods of "reform" so aptly
symbolized by the club, castor oil, and starvation.
NEW HEADACHE.
Today's headache seems to be found in the
Netherlands, where the Dutch authoritie have
taken all precautions "against any possible inva
sion." Train and boat service has been restricted,
all lecves have been cancelled, and all anti-aircraft
batteries have been called into service. No direct
information has been Issued as to the occasion for
such extraordinary precautions on the part of the
Dutch, but it is certain that they, at least, believe
that they will be the next victim of nazi aggression.

cullies of group living and therefore any revolt
against manners Is unfortunate and likely to lead
to serious trouble in the long run. That the Mc
Call's writer has hit upon something fundamentally
true must be obvious to anyone who will look
around the Nebraska campus. It in not difficult to
find men sitting in the Union lounge with their hats
on and their feet on an upholstered chair while
talking to a girl. It takes no great amount of re
search work to observe the public necking that
occurs on the steps of sorority houses and dormi
tories every week-end night at 12:30 good-nights
that easily could be "said" a minute sooner In con
siderably more privacy. Acts showing plain, earthy,
rude lack of consideration for others can be seen
every day by the dozens.
So what? Well, maybe the world won't sink
Into utter anarchy under all this, since most col
lege students hide a considerable portion of good,
sound integrity, beneath their "rough" exteriors,
but neither will it become any pleatanter a place
in which to live. Look what has happened since
the old-fashioned kh;d of world manners or diplo
macy went down under the revised rules of in
ternational etiquette practiced by Herr Hitter and
others of his breed!
