The question is now one of fact. We again submit that a general as sertion of undue activity, without cit ing the specific incidents, ia a rank injustice to the organization. Awgwan defends its silence on the grounds that it would "bring the discussion into personalities." We have inter viewed practically every member of the Innocent society, and each has expressed his willingness that any thing Awgwan may wish to say against him can be published without his objection. It is entirely possible that some members of the Innocent society have been unduly active politically. Grant ing, until the end of this paragraph, that this is true, we deny that the Innocents as an organization should be attacked therefor. An attack on the members as such is an attack on the organization. People do not malign . the , theatrical profession merely because one of its leading members became an assassin. We are not trying to keep up a fight with our estimable contemporary. We are defending the duty, privilege and inalienable right of every citizen to take an active interest in public affairs. If Awgwan has any specific griev ance, let it be aired. Those liable to attack have given their consent. Until specific instances are cited, let the organization alone. Awgwan, it's up to you. TENNIS COURTS The .matter of tennis courts is one in which the University of Nebras ka is highly deficient. Other schools of half the size have real tennis courts. Nebraska has plenty of peo ple who are Interested, and has the means of supplying courts that would compare with the best. Why can't we get something done along this, line? AN ERROR In Monday's Nebraskan the editorial on University Week was misnamed "University Night." Furthermore, it was slightly out of place, being in the lower left hand corner of the front page. These mistakes were not due vo anyone on the staff. We will blame the printer, as he does not be long to the campus. UNIVERSITY NOTICES Y. W. C.

LANE AND SAUNDERS BUSY ON CONTRACTS University Week Manager on Ad- vance Agent i our Preparations for University Week are now on in full swing. Business Manager Lane and Assistant Manager Saunders are visiting the towns this week which have applied for the en tertainment and will close the con tracts with the six which are to be included in the tour. The week of spring vacation, at the end of March, is the time set for the trip. The central purpose of University Week is to bring the university in closer contact with the people of the state, especially with the young peo ple who may become students here. It does this by showing what it ac complished in the various lines of stu dent activities at the university. During the week the students in the various programs are entertained In the homes of the cities visited and this gives an added' point of contact. University Week is common among the universities of the west, Chicago, Wisconsin and Minnesota having used the idea before It was adopted at Nebraska last year. At Nebraska, the work Is under the supervision of Uni versity Week association, consisting of the Innocents, the Black Masques and thirteen faculty members. Darrel T. Lane, 16, is the business manager and Axel R. Swenson, '17, and Raymond J. Saunders, '17, are the junior assistants. The latter was ap pointed to fill the vacancy left by John L.
