Wo refuse lo further mnko our columns a fighting ground for the two factions. Tho movement on foot to form a dobatlng longuo between Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Nebraska would mean thoVlncbrporation Into a i. -wwv Jorenslc leaguo dtflvo of tho strong est universities in tlio west. Such a leaguo would be tho riienns'of placing dobatlng on a much moro popular basis in tho west, and especially In ,tho unlvorsltlos whoro it has hereto fore been unpopulnr. The request from othor Institutions that Nebraska bo represented in this leaguo Is the only possible oulcomo of our victorious -4. years of dobatlng. That Nobrasku's iflnceuH debaters is acknowledged by other schools Is testified to, and wo indeed feel proud, of our long list of tho fact that tho present football manager was elected by .thoAhletlc Board when the student memtoprs-were burbs. Last year tho barbs placed lyo fraternity men on their ticket. Show mo a non-fraternity man that tho present Athh-.tlc Board has elected to a managerial position. Show mo tho tlmo when tho frats havo nomi nated a ticket with non-fraternity men on It. After all, Is It tho barbs who demand every ofilclal position at the hnnds o ftho students? The barbs dodemnnd nnd will con tinue to demand that tho fraternity machinery bo not allowed to runall matters in which tho students have a voice. Many o'f the strongest men are fraternity men, but the able men are not all members of Greek letter socie ties. Tho barbs havo a right to do mnnd that their nien shall receive recognition and they nro willing to-j organize if necessary to get such rec ognition. Ho says tho bnrbs should not havo a voice In tho control of athletics be cuubo they do not support University "enterprises. In support of this argu mont he says that at the University dances "vjijlnd sometimes none, and never more than ten" barbs. Does the gentleman know that he is discussing tho question of athletics? What rela tion does tho Athletic Board havo to the University dances? Is tho fact that I attended tho Corn- huskor banquet any renson why I should have a voice In tho control of athletics? Did the Athletic Board re celvo any money from the banquot? What control did the Board exercise over tho management? So far as I can ascertain no rfcal at tempt was made to got the barbs to subscrlbo to tho fund used to sond Nebraska's representative to the Foot- bnll Rules Committee. It is tho fault of tho management nnd not tho fault of tho barbs if they did not contribute to tho fund. If tho collectors of the funds expected them to contribute they should have given them an opportunity. -CXXXXXpCXXXXXXXX)COOQCpC?COCXXXXOcbcOCXXXXXXX When in doubt pay Always n trutnp--My hats improve over season My business improves.

W.," .through your col umns yesterday, made an attack on whnt'ho tonus tho ''Frenzied Flnauco" LawsetPbr tho University. If tho barbs represent Mr." Lawson In tho fight, whero aro tho "big trusts" and insur ance scandlers? Tho only conclusion to bo drawn Is that he believes that the fraternities nro tho trust magnates and tho .insurance1 "grafters.; . "Since thoy compose ninety por cent of tho student body and aro in the majority in number, thoy demand every omcial position at the hands qt tho students," says .Mr. F. h, W. his percentage Ms a Httlo" too large. Ha is also in -error on tho' question of their demands. Tho barbs jjo not and never have demanded all of , the official positions at tho hands of the students. In' support of this contention I clto Mr. F. L. Wt gives out tho impres sion that all the barbs witness the games from "accessible places" with out paying. Has ho forgotten his statemontrthat tho barbs constitute 90 per cent of tho students.? Does ho know the size of tho University's regis tration? Or does he consider nil of the little boys who are present at a game ,,baTBsTr Lot the gentleman ..ex plain how all the barbs can .watch a gamo from tho places In question. Even asuming to be true his statomont that "all accesslblo places whero the gamo could bo watched" wcro crowd ed with barbs, his argument' then ap plies to but a small per cent of the barbs In tho University, and ho can not condemn thorn nil for theactlon of a few, But his statomont is far" froni truo. "All accesslblo places" were not filled with barbs. And I will venture to say that the fraternities were represented at those which wero crowded, r n (Continued on. pa'go 4;) ,; r A. G.
