GRADES FOR PHI BETA KAPPA
It seems rather unfair lt seniors
that they be asked to hustle around
and get their grades properly recorded
with the registrar if they wish to se
cure Phi Beta Kappa honors. "Stu
dents who are intending to lay claim
to the honor" are urged to take
"drastic" action.
Fhl Beta Kappa membership would
seem to be based to some extent on
"drastic hustling around." then. Some
how we had considered the honor a
more dignified one. The small gold
key had seemed to us a reward gWen
to the faithful student, the one who.
realizing the importance of mastering
his work, has been willing to spend
the necessary time doing It.
The requirements for membership of
Phi Beta Kappa are not definite to
those outside the fraternity. Stu
dents vaguely know that a certain per
centage of the graduating class whose
grades are excellent ones, are elected.
If the class is one whose members rank
exceptionally high, then perhaps those
whose averages fall below 90 per cent
are not awarded. Again, it is said
that 88 and even 85 per cent students
have been made Phi Beta Kappas.
No one knows how the class average
is ranking this year unless he has in
vestigated it. The registrar has not
time to help every senior look up rec
ords to find out whether it is worth
while for him to prod up his instruc
tors so that his grades will be in.
Nor should students have to Inspect
the registrar's records to see if their
grades are recorded properly. They
should take that as a matter of course.
But if the scholarship fraternity fears
the records are not complete, why do
they not investigate? Then they could
feel that t-hey had done what they
could to award the membership fairly.
There will doubtless be students
who will not care to insist that their
records be up-to-date, students who
will modestly underestimate l-heir re
lative rank. They will fear that after
they have taken "drastic action" that
they will not receive the honor and
will consequently suffer humiliation
when they see those t-hey "drastically
acted upon."
"Secured" honors are petty, com
pared with "conferred" ones.

and
THE BELLBOY FATE
Some day the bellboy fate will page
you in the great hotel of life. He will
come at the unexpected moment. He
will bring you an urgent message,
summoning you to a land unknown.
He will deliver to you the final com
munique, your last orders from the
Great Chief.
Where will the bellboy Fate find
win vnn Vp In ted. slee-D-soddf n
groggy, lazy and unthinking as
the result of a career of careless laz
ziness, exhausted by a life of spend
thrift wastefulness?
Will you be up before some bar.
chained to a brass rail, unable to even
comprehend the crisis which Fate is
calling you to atu-nd? Will you be
in some den of vice, some habitat of
worthless humanity? Will you be at
a table, foundered wiih food? Will you
be behind some dusty desk, enslaved
to wealth and self, ignorant and disre
gardful of men all around you?
Or will you be ready and alert. In a
comfortable, happy borne, in a busi
ness conference. In the Joyful con
templation of a life well-lived, safe in
tbe knowledge of service to humanity
and to God?
Life's caravansary is a vast, busy
hotel with many guests. The bellboy
. Fate it a busy boy be bat no time to
campaign," he said, "which was for
HuflUient funds to provide for the
moral protection of the American poI
diers abroad and in the training
camps here, was completely success
ful, having obtained upwards of
600,000. So the question of tho men
over there is solved for tho present
at least. What the present campaign
Is for is to make the people here at
home awaken to the responsibilities
which fnce them in preventing the
evils of the war from crosplng the At
lantic and threatening our homes and
society in America." For instance,
Mr. Holcombc pointed out that since
the beginning of the war the per cent
of infant criminality had Increased by
two hundred In Germany and France.
Meanwhile there has crept somehow
Into American society a similar in
fluence toward crime among the in
fants to allow the average of Infant
crimes to increase 67 per cent. Since
the infants of today are the basis upon
which the world democracy of tomor
row must rest it Is easily seen how
vitally these figures effect the pros
pects for the success of this question
for which men of all nations are giv
ing their lives. Mr. Holcombe brought 1
out many other Interesting points Il
lustrating the great need for hasty
action along the lines adopted by the
North field conference and w hich will
North America within the next few
be introduced Into the student ranks of
months.
Walter Judd Explains Program
Walter Judd was introduced by
Steele Holcombe to explain the pro
gram which the committee in charge
of the mobilization of North American
students for Christian world democ
racy. Judd tola or me worn inau naa
been carried on so far and of the
work that other colleges were doing.
He said in part that the student world
had responded less freely to the
double work war program than any
other class.
And this was all the more conspicu
ous since it is the colleges that are
sending the largest representation of
men to the trenches. He emphasized
the fact that the men fighting "for us"
were fighting in vain if we failed to
respond to the call to prepare for a
Christian world democracy snd this he
asserted we can not do until we have
learned by -study and discussion the
basic principles of such a democracy
and the means by which we may se
cure such a form of International re
lationship. Have Ordered Books
He then outlined the plans of the
coming drive, saying that five hun
dred books had been ordered which
contain a summary of the things that
will be considered in class discussions.
The classes will in groups of ten or
fifteen each and will be held in all
parts of the city. Sororities and fra
ternities will organize their own
groups and choose their own leaders.
Non-fraternity students will also be
provided for. A chart has been ar
ranged of the city Indicating the loca
tion of all students. This chart will
be followed in grouping the different
classes and then the people will be
consulted personally as to the hours
they prefer for such meetings and
the person they wish to have to lead
them in the discussions. As soon as
this organization of the classes has
been completed the study wili begin.
This will very probably be next Mon
day, as many of the fraternities have
already organized and are awaiting the
word to begin classes. The plan is one
that has succeeded in appealing to all
the students that have been ap
proached so far and it is expected
that Nebraska will bold up her stand
ard set by the $23,000 Fubscription
earlier in the year, by giving a full
attendance to these classes.

SPRING Suits
Jauntiness-'O Characteristic
The modish maid need have no fear of finding: suits with
the required amount of "youthful'dash," this season. The
models are crammed full of saucines s. There is wayward
ruffle that simply will impart "up-and-cominprness." There
is a curved line that bespeaks the winsomeness desired. There
s tailoring that is of unusual quality. There are materials
that are varied enough to permit wide choice.
