PHI BETA KAPPA The annual announcement brought joy to many and disappointment to not a few. It is a distinct honor to be elected to membership in this society. To some it is a higher honor than to others. To the men and women who would do their work as well if there was no reward to come, a Phi Beta Kappa is an indication not only of faithful and persistent effort, but it is more than that a mark of strength of character. On the other hand, to those who at the beginning of their college course set out to make grades for no other purpose than to secure the cov eted key, who in their anxiety to make these grades neglect the various other phases of their training that are es sential to a well-rounded education, this emblem will at best mean but little. There can be no distinction, but the community can judge by their fruits. CABS The action of the University girls w ith reference to the use of cabs is to be commended. We are a great cos mopolitan group of students in this University, some rich, some poor, some neither. But in the vast majority of cases the men are either working their way, are borrowing money, or are re ceiving their money" from home. In any case it seems rather inconsistent that they should spend from a dollar and a half to three dollars to ride to a social event In style. No one will deny that the use of cabs by Univer sity people is justifiable in bad weather. Very few University men object in that case. But it is safe to say that nine-tenths of them are op posed to the use of cabs at other times. It isn't a question of whether they like to take cabs most any of them would prefer riding to a formal in a cab to riding in a street car but it is a question of whether or not they can afford it It was difficult for the men to take the initiative in this mat ter, for most men dislike above all things to lay themselves open to the charge of being "cheap." The girls have demonstrated that they have the THE NEXT BEST THING to NO glasses Is the satisfaction afforded by having the RIGHT glasses. HALLETT REGISTERED OPTOMETRIST, Est. 1871 1143 O right spirit and University men will admire them the more for their action in this matter. THE FORUM I wonder if the editor of the Daily Nebraskan reads the various articles that appear in the Forum of that paper, I believe the articles there written are saturated with sincerity, especially those that have appeared recently con cerning Minerva's Mail. Has that bit of sincerity been totally ignored by our editor, he whom we all trusted and loved so well at the last election? No I can not believe the editor has ig nored the articles. He simply refuses to heed the voice of sincerity, a voice that appeals for truth concerning the "eternal question." Oh, how, how I wish he might take courage unto him self and come out squarely on the issue before the students of the Uni versity of Nebraska. For remember. Editor, if you still the voices that are appealing to you through the Forum, you deny knowledge to child-like seek ers after truth, and you, and you alone. shall be held responsible for their mis takes made in ignorance. L. T. F. Editor of Daily Nebraskan: In my estimation, the criticism in Tuesday's Forum of the conduct of the students in the gallery Saturday night is one showing poor sportsman ship and poorer judgment. Evidently the writer forgot that this was all University stunt night; that the actors were there for th motives of having a little fun in general and to "bawl out" whom they saw fit. I for one heard no insulting remarks offered, nor have I talked with anyone else that has. Do you, Mr. Critic, think that these outbursts of the "gal lery gods" were done with malicious intent? Or do you think that their conduct was a bit worse or even as bad as you would find at any of our large Universities? If so I am a very poor judge of my college associates. A school's prominence in more ways than one depends upon the spirit of its students. This episode of Saturday night was but an outburst of a dor mant spirit. Would the writer that this galaxy of students should sit in these high perches and let out 'nary a word but what was necessary. Learn the etiquette of college life on social occasions of this nature and then criticise accordingly. Further more, if "the students who were loyal enough to take part in this all-University event" can't stand the "bawling out" and "insulting remarks" they got Saturday night, then they should not be so kind as to offer their services again. I didn't sit in the gallery (much to my regret), nor did I hear any criticism about me of the "ungen tlemanly" actions in "nigger heaven." E. A. PROMINENT MEN TO ADDRESS TEACHERS Large Attendance at Educational Asso ciation Being Held in the Temple Theater The meetings of the Southeastern Nebraska Eduactional Association be ing held at the Temple are well at tended by a large number of teachers from this part of the Btate. The meet ings are to last two days and several prominent speakers from without the state as well as many prominent Ne braska educators will talk. The first of the meetings was opened by a musical number by the University School of Music. Superin tendent F. M. Hunter then delivered a few words of welcome. Chancellor Avery opened tba series of lectures by an address on "Education and Pro gress," which sounded the keynote to the purpose of the convention. The lectures given attempt to ahow the teachers how to teach the student more efficiently and how to get the in terest of the student bo he may make the best of his opportunities. As illus trations of this method for the lower grades such devices as piece maps are shown, the idea being to educate the student through play. Dr. Henry S. Curtis delivered a lecture on this point alone. In the evening Doctor Curtis gave an illustrated lecture on "The Play Movement and Its Significance." To relieve the tension of the lec tures the meetings are conveniently broken by musical numbers furnished by local institutions. Today a business meeting will be held for the election of officers for the ensuing year. The candidates are as follows : President C Everts. Vice President H. It. Camel, S. R. Pier. Secretary I. N. Kindig, H. R. Holtz. Board of Directors Prof. J. D. Hoff man, Prof. E. L. Heinman, Mr. C. Peter son. Scott's Orchestra. Call B-148Z or B 4521. UNI.

The Lindell Hotel ballroom has been re-inforced by a double floor for this function and if Kirk Fowler's word is to be taken there will be more given for the money, to those who fight their way up to the ticket dispensers in time to carry away one of the coveted paste boards, than has ever before been of fered to the followers of Terpsichore. (She's the dame that put the tang in tango.J The following are the men who agree to stand responsible if any one can show cause for complaint after the bout has been pulled off: W. K. Fowler, chairman. U. S. Harkson, master of ceremonies. E. M. Kadlicek. All these men have taken the S. E. degree and are thoroughly competent to put-over a hop that will give full returns to all attending.
