U4hO. Two Stokes AN UNFORTUNATE ATTACK. In tho current Issue or Tho Uni versity Journal thero appears on edi torial discussing the question of fra ternities which, while It does not make any definite attack, makes statements that would bo Interpreted as anything but complimentary to these organizations. -After declaring thot t the anti-fraternity bill is not llkelv m 11RSK tlin nrnRont. InHalntnm' the editorial goes on to say: "The feeling that prompted tho In troduction of tho measure is so strong in tho stato that a needed reform must come in those organizations or their days aro numbered. Tho belief is widespread that tho oxistence of fraternities Is not helpful to tho moral life of tho student body. In those, ns in other societies, tho conduct of a fow members may placo tho entire membership in bad rqputo, It is charged, too, that tho fraternities con trol class and other college organiza tions, to tho exclusion of equally worthy students lacking in this sup port' That such an attack as this at, tho present tlmo is especially unfortunate Is tho opinion that has boon expressed generally by thoso .who havo read tho editorial In question., That thero is at ihis university, as at all othors, a fraternity problem cannot bo denied CONVOCATION Mrs. E. B. Conent American Songs Memorial Hall by anyone nnd least of all by tho frn tornltlcB thomHolvoB, but that such an editorial as this Is Justifiable Ib en tlroly another quostlon. Following tho OXpoBiiro of what took placo at a certain banquet hold recently by Thota Nu Bpsllon a move ment was started to bring tho offend ers to tlmo for breaking tho rules of tho unlvorslty and to provent any such unfortunato'affairB in tho future. Frpm tho fact that tho above editorial nppoars shortly f after tho occurence of the banquet and from tho fact that Theta Nu EpBilon Ib un inter-fraternity organization It would appear aB though tho Thota Nu Epsllon movo mont was a movement against fra ternities. ThiB Ib about as far from tho troth as nnything could woll bo. The Thota Nu EpBilon movement hnB nothing whatever to do with any movement against frntornltlos; tho two problems aro entirely distinct nnd aro bo differ ent in thoir nature that any attempt to treat of thorn both at tho same tlmo would fdsult in hopeless con fusion. Tho movement against Theta Nu EpBilon has rocolved the hearty support of all who wish a clean, pro gressive school; a gcnoral movoment to destroy fraternities would receive the support or nono excopt a fow who view tho quoBtion from a biased point of vlow. Tho odltorinl in question would loayo tho Impression that tho unl vorslty authorities wero opposed to fratornitles and would tako the first opportunity to destroy them. On tho contrary, both Chancellor Avery nnd leading mombors of tho faculty havo declared that they aro not behind tho bill now before the loglslnturo to abol ish fraternities and that thoy aro opposed, to any such measure. Thero is always a tendency for evory reform to go too far and in clude tho Innocent with tho guilty!

Tho NebraBkan has stated its position clearly with regard 'to tho organiza tion known as Thota Nu Epsllon. It believes that conditions at tho Uni versity of Nebraska can never bo as thoy should with this organization In oxlstenco and oxortlng its baloful Influonco In a)l university activities, It must Insist, 'however, that this or ganization in its true nature is an intor-fratornlty direlect and that tho niovoniont bo not confused either by Its friends or its enemies as a move ment in any way directed against tho oxistence of fraternities. In the Alblon-PIorce high school de bate held last Saturday, at which Dr. Maxey wbb ono of tho Judges, Albion won, thus securing, tho championship in tho North Central district of, tho Nebraska high school, debating league. ,, . As a result of the triangular debate, held recently between Dartmouth, Brown and Williams, Dartmouth re tains tho championship. In each de bate the affirmative Bldo won.
