THE NEBRASKA COTILLION.
We wish that without Involving our
selves in a discussion of the necessity
or desirability of formal dancing we
could adequately express to our read
ers our keen appreciation of the educa
tive and aesthetic values of the com
hiK Nebraska Cotillion. So hostile to
our nature Is tradition and formalism
of all kinds, jind so (irml.v IIed is our
mental habit of destiuctive criticism,
that we are leall.v timoious ol giving
to this exceptional topic lor an edi
toiial the piaise and in oui agement
it mei its Ne ei I hclc i this ii!
proaching clima ol th' social e:u,
though at best onlv rollalri.il to the
main purpose lor which we aie here,
deseies the pati online and support
of everj student and alumnus who is
big enough and broad enough to ap
predate the essential many sidedness
of the best student en ironnient.
The junior-senior foinial is now dis
tinctive as one of the very few all mil
versity events. Formerly the juniors
held a promenade, and the seniors
held a promenade. XI le union of the
two dances into one yearly formal can
not fall to strengthen the social ties
that bind the two upper classes
Furthermore, to thiB dance are ad
mltted all members of every class in
the university. Formerly, the upper
class promenades were limited ex
clusively to juniors and seniors, It k
significant of the growing democracy
of the age that now for once in our
history the attractiveness of so su
perb a display is shared by all.
To watch a cultured people amuse
themselves is an education per se. In
prepaiation for this great social event
committees in charge hae spent
months of time and hundreds of dol
lars. They have restrained their
pomp. They have polished their her
uldry. They hae subdued their splen
dor. And while they have not depart
ed from the usual custom of providing
for these hours of high and intense
festivity appropriate decorations and
adornments, yet, as admirers of civil
ized formalism will note, the effect of
their splendid accoutrements is a sim
ple, reserve and harmonious pagean
try. WE URGE ALL TO ATTEND THE
NEBRASKA COTILLION.
Today would be a good time
to have your picture taken for
the 1913 Cornhusker.

Professor Sciplo Reports Is Threat
ened by War, Cholera and Earth
quake at Constantinople.
In a letter to Professor Slaymaker,
Professor L A Sciplo, who last year
resigned his work here to become
head of the englnering department at
Robert College, Constantinople, gives
some Interesting features of the war
in Turkey.
War, cholera, and a recent earth
quake have produced plenty of diver
sion at this college, but the college
work has not been interfered with ex
cept in the matter of three new build
lugs which are being constructed
These have ben delayed due to seiz
ure of supplies by the Turks in the
Aegean sea, as contraband of war
For several days all the faculty had
their grips packed, ready to go on
board the French steampship
At one time the college was in dan
';i'i' fiom mutinous bands of soldiers
but these were frightened away by
blasting in a tunnel which is being
built tor the college The Turks
thought the college had enough dna
mite to blow up the city of Constan
tinople
HARD FALLS THE PADDLE
UPON THE NEOPHYTE MEEK
Many Greek Initiations Hold Sway in
the Balmy Spring Season.
Be e not disconsolate, fair ones, if
son" blooming vouth, heedli ss of vour
w.ii m gieeting, lushes past with the
speed ol j e pro ei bi.il expnss tram
lso, be e not sui prised if m the
-tillness of vour gentle slumbers, you
aie rudely awakened by the cues of
the wounded and assaulted
For, verily, this is the season of y e
ilieek initiations. Yon innocent1
itsliman with white straw hat and the
ichopenhauer mug is not a victim of
,'rol'essor Engberg, but iB only accu
nul.it iug the Inner secrets of his
brotherhood. This Ib the time of year
that the shuddering neophytes are
ed captive to the various sorority
houses and forced through their stunts
for the edification of the fair sex, the
season of tender feelings, and slighted
work, for it is truly difficult to write
a rhetoric theme on a sideboard.
Verily, let the Lord's mercy rest
upon the Greeks to be for they need
it woefully.

They watch and wait for its coming
As it silently speeds to It call.
The sorority fair maids are all burning
At the pleasure in store for them all.
For the carriage ride to the hop at

Is a token of a jolly good fellow,
The Ensign cab is her delight,
As It rides like a feather pillow
Now well know all the scholars
The prompt attention they receive
It don't take a million dollars
To attend a ball In comfort and eaBe.
