The Cornhusker banquet Friday evening was the quintessence of
rowdyism. Never befoTe in the history of the University has there
been such a display of an over grown paperwad age. Everyone ad
mits it.
As a result there will be no more Cornhusker banquets in the
future, according to Dean Engberg.
There are few traditions at Nebraska. The reason for that is
because the people who attended this University when it was in its
infancy, did not have the incentive, or interest to start them. But we
are making traditions today, and the ones we have should be upheld
and supported with all sorts of "pep."
The Cornhusker banquet was a rough one, but it had a good vaude
ville troupe, the bars had promised the committee that there would be
no acceptance of University men's patronage after Friday noon, pre
cautions were taken that all food such as bread and loaf sugar be
removed from the table as soon as it was served, things which have
never occurred before. Every effort was made to have a successful
banquet.
Some men never grow up. Though it may seem strange, there
were some silly children at the banquet. They were rowdies, and
disgraceful ones at that. They are the ones who have brought about
the edict of "No more Cornhusker banquets."
If there are no more Cornhusker banquets, at this stage of the
reconstruction of Nebraska spirit, when it is at such a critical stage,
surely the effect will not be the effect that every Nebraskan wants,
the betterment of this spirit.
The fact that Cornhusker banquets are forbidden will rot affect
the men who are in school now, and who will be gone in two or three
years, but there is great danger that it may have a more far-reaching
influence and be a damper on the spirit of the school in the years to
come when the traditions are needed to hold it together and when
these traditions are lacking.
The Innocents will not be entrusted with any further responsibil
ities this year, according to the executive dean. This is one of the
most serious of edicts ever issued against an honorary organization.
Whether it is just and merited, is a question, and there are two very
well-balanced sides to this particular question.
If an organization cannot justify its existence and command re
spect it should not exist. Are the Innocents carrying out their bargain
of responsibility they made when they were chosen because of their
particular merits and became members of the honorary senior organ
ization? ,
To Jump at conclusions too Boon would be folly. No one should
judge the righteousness of their cause until all of the facts are known.
Today is Journalism Day. Today is the day when the regents
will be petitioned for a college of Journalism at Nebraska. Every
journalism tag will mean a signer to the petitions.
Nebraska University is suffering for want of a college of Journal
ism. The Journalistic field has stupendous possibilities for men and
for women, and with the realization of this the young people who
would attend Nebraska if the theoretical training in this work were
possible, are flocking to other schools. Surely Nebraska should satisfy
the demands of her own people!
Then, too, if Nebraska is to maintain her high standard among the
universities of the country, she must be progressive and offer the
courses that the ones of the same rank offer.

SECRETARY IN LINCOLN
ON RETURN TOUR
James Chuan, a graduate of Yale and
secretary of the Chinese Christian as
sociation of the United States and
Canada, stopped over in Lincoln last
Thursday while on his way back for a
visit to his native land. Mr. Chuan
was accompanied by Charles D. Hurry,
general secretary for "Friendly Rela
tions Among Foreign Students" of
North America. Mr. Hurry's head
quarters are in New York.
Both Mr. Chuan and Mr. Hurry gave
short addresses in the evening to a
group of foreign students and men in
terested in work among foreign stu
dents and foreign rations. Mr. Chuan
discussed the need of giving foreign
students a moral background to their
technical education so that they might
go back to their respective nations to
assist in making those nations "help
nations," rather than "menace
nations." Mr. Hurry gave an excel
lent exposition of how this work is
being effected in North America. The
point in both addresses was the need
of developing closer personal touch
with foreign students.
