THE FORUM
To tho Editor of tho Nobraakan:
Inasmuch as a oortaln fow mombors
of tho h-eehmah class havo assumed
tho, .authority, to express tho sontl
mqnts of "ttfo majority of tho fresh
man class" and havo under this as
sumed authority undertaken to borato
a portion of tholr uppor clasBmon, the
freshman dries in its last mooting for
mally and positively decided that the
denunciatory statements should be
disapproved and tho insult soomlngly
contained thoroln bo Btrongly cen
sured, Tho statements running as fol
lows aro tho ones particularly de
nounced: "Ab mon wo can only fool contempt
for follows who should by all the
rules of class superiority sot ub an ox
a.mplo in manliness when those uppor
claBsmon lowor thomsolves by
squabbling ovor a class gamo like
small boys in a back lot ovor an ex
ceptionally good 'pltchor.' "
Wo want tho sophomores to fejol
that wo aro ready and willing to co
oporato with them In anything that
will promoto class and school spirit,
and would offer tho samo fr!ondshlr
to tho seniors and juniors, did wo not
foar rebuff from some of theso super
cilious uppor clnssmon who havo no
moro school spirit thnn 'a rabbit.' "
Thoso statoments aro censured by
tho class for tho roason that, In tho
first placo, thoy lntroduco a sentiment
that. 1b docidodly bad, and In tho soc
ond placo, bocauso they aro by no
moans tho authorized sentiment of
tho cIbbb. It 1b no wondor that a let
ter signed "A. Sortlor" has appeared In
tho Forum, oxprosslng surprlso that
tho freshman cIbbb should display
Buch an attitude. Such a denunciation
of our upper clnssmon Is not only a
deplorable clrqumatanco, hut It Is
falso. Wo can never gain anything
by back-handod slams and babylBh
bickerings. If any mombors of the
class man to oxpross a dislike to tho
sonlor or junior classes publicly, lot
thorn sign tholr own names and mako
it a personal affair, instead, of drag
ging tho wholo class into a quarrel.
Besides, it cannot bo said thai there
is no spirit in tho uppor classes, after
such splendid victories In. debating
and forensic work havo been brought
,homo, very largely through tho ef
forts of tho uppor classes.
Tho freshman claBB In general feel
that thoy havo boon for the most pari
Justly and fairly treated by their upper
classmen and that tho denunciatory
stntomonts aro neither sanctioned nor
approved by tho class. In taking tho
abovo action tho class entertains no
malice or Ill-feeling of any sort to tho
porsons publishing tho statoments,
outBldo of ontlroly censuring the
statomonts nnd disapproving the
spirit with which thoy scorn to have
-been written ..
Respectfully yours,
THE FRESHMAN CLASS,
Por Committee.
To tho Editor of tho Nobraskan:
In tho Wednesday Ibsuo of tho No
braskan tho freshman class, In con
sidering a challenge from tho sopho
mores to an interclnss Indoor track
moot, takos a "dig" at tho senior foot
ball team which recently wns award
ed tho championship of tho university
on a technicality. Tho "dig" might
bo justified, but it camo from an un
warranted source.
Tho freshman team was outplayed
and dofoated by tho sophomores, but
was given that gamo because only a
small proportion of tho players on tho
second yoar team were members of
tho sophomore class. Tho 'Justice of
this decision cannot bo disputed In
light of tho fact that tho season was
bo advanced that to have played the
gamo ovor would havo meant tho ex
tending of tho season past Thankaglv
Ing day. Then tho freshmen entored-
tho gamo with tho seniors with two
men in tho line-up who had been pre-
