IF IT PAY8, ADVERTI8E.
A piominont Nebraska professor
complained against the Dully Nobrns
kan for what ho wub pleased to term
its favoritism to certain department
oi this groat unlvorHlty. The sam
complaint has come to this ofllco from
other sources at different times dur
ing the prosont semester. Tho chief
"kick" Ih that a largo amount of nows
is published about a few of tho de
partments and that others are prac
tically neglected.
Such a criticism of tnly paper 1b bo
groundless that it niokoB tho men
who uttor it vjtand In a most absurd
light. It simply proves that those
professors who havo- found fault are
themselvoB to b!muo for tho thing
they criticise. If ttioy would consider
what tholr position toward this paper
has been they would then roallzo
that the reason, for the lnck ot fre
quent mention or their departments
in tho Nobraskan is duo entirely to
their own neglect of tho advortlBlng
end of that department.
Thoro are Borne instructors in this
university who tako a keen interest
in their college paper, and they see
that it jgots now. Some of tho nows,
of course, Is bound to bo of matters
pertaining to their particular depart
ment. Some of tho professors of this

university furnish the Nebraskan ab
solutely no news; others turn in a
little, and still others tender a groat
er quantity. Tho professors of this
latter class have been called "adver
tisers" by other Instructors.
It is true that they are "advertis
ers." but what they do ,ls perfectly
legitimate, and any of their colleagues
are privileged to follow their exam
ples. They are intensely interested In
seeing their part of UiIb university
advance, as It Bhould. They do not
give out nows with advertising as
their chief ideas. What they havo pub
lished in tho Nobraskan they believe
Is for the benefit of tho university as
a whole. Tho reason they get space
in tho Nebraskan Ib because they
send to this office whatever they want
printed.
If tho other professors would look
"after the Interests of the Nebraskan
in tho news lino as well as a certain
few of their colleagues do, this uni
versity would havo a much better
paper than It has now. From some
professors the Nebraskan is able to
secure items of general interest very
of ten. From many others, though, this
paper secures absolutely- nothing in
'tho -news line. Tho Nebraskan 1b
willing to send its reporters (few
thtugh they niay bo) around to any

Instructors who want them to call
regularly whether the period be daily
or weekly.
To tho students who are trying to
make the Nebraskan a good college
paper it seema to bo a bigv injustice
to declare that they are partisan to
any dopartmont heads or professors.
This paper does not cater to any cer
tain Instructors, and will fcivo none of
them special privileges. Its columns
are open equally to all departments
of the university for the publication
of items of Intel est to the public.
If the men who have criticised will
only bo fair with tho Nebraskan and
themselves they will see where the
real cause of all the complaint origi
nates. If thoy-believe it navs to ad
vertise their work in tho Nebraskan
they ought to "got busy" and not
criticise tho paper and tho professors
who do use its columns frequently.
Always remember this: If it pays,
udvertiso; don't criticize.
SUMMER BASEBALL.
Brown university has taken a stand
in favor of summer baseball 'for the
students. This is certainly a com
mendable move, '
Why not change tho rules as Brown
has done, and give the poor student
at least a chance to earn during va-
cation, tho money necessary for col
lege expenses? Collego Btudents are
allowed to employ tholr skill In other,
and In somo cases, far loss elevating
pursuits than baseball without being
charged with degrading athletics.
Baseball Is now so generally recog
nized ns a vacation In which to oarn
a living that it can be classed with
other callings of life. If tho student
baseball player can earn nioro of his
collego expenses in this way than in
working on the farm or any of tho
other Jobs open to him during vaca
tion, thoro Is no good reason why tho
opportunity should bo denied him.
It Is high time that this nonsensical
rule was abolished. Tho Dally Iowan.

Editor Dally Nobraskan:
In the Nebraskan for January 15,
and again today, you make the state
ment that tho proposed society of
junior men -Is being "kept down to a
c!l(uo," and charge that tho members
of this "clique" are tho ones who will
benefit by such a society. Allow me
to state a few reasons for believing
jou are mistaken:
First, the society Is not yet organ
ized, and I ho committeo (which was
authorized by a well-advertised class
meeting), has never met.
Second. The only plan that has
ever been suggested for choosing
inembers of the proposed society is
by election of the wholo class in rog
ular clrtss meeting, which seems to
mo to bo "In the open."
Third. This year is half gone, and
such a society this year will havo only
ono semester to organize and do any
work.
It Is most needed In tho fall, and
the reason It should be organized this
year Is that tho members may choose
their successors. This year's "clique"
could not do much political grafting In
one semester.
Fourth. It lmj a purpaao, and Is
not In any way a competitor of the In-
nocents. Many juniors come in from
other schools, or from outside work,
and the class Is leBs united than any
ci her In the university. The juniors
could have won the football cham
pionship if the men could havo been
gotten out to practice. Interclass de
bates and track meets are being agi
tated, the upper classmen are ex
pected to supervise the soph-fresh-
man scrap. In all these things an
active society is needed and could
do a great deal to obliterate the frat
barb lino in polltios.
Fifth. The society If organized at
nil, will bo perpetuated by choosing
from tho outgoing sophomore class
all or part of its members for the
next year, the details of thiB selec
tion being decided by this year's
class, and not by any "clique," if, in
deed, such "clique" oxlst outside the
editorial page of tho NebraBkan.
You may print part, all or none of
this letter at your editorial discretion.
The writer Ib a junior, was not a
faophomoro last year, a barb, and a
member of the much-maligned com-
mittee on a Junior clasg society.
Very truly yours,
I. W. D.
