MAKE ROOM FOR THE STUDENTS
With the approach of the football season on the home field, it
becomes apparent that the student seating capacity is not suilicient.
Seventeen hundred season tickets were sold in the campaign this
fall and a section to accommodate the purchasers of these tickets
was reserved in the south bleachers. It takes up the greater part
ot the stands but from the clamorings for tickets, it is now obvious
that the entire south side should have been reserved for the use of
students.
It is not the desire of the university to crowd out loyal sup
porters of the team who come from outside the university to watch
the game. Student support, however, is recognized as the best back
ing the team can possibly have and should be given precedence in
the matter of accommodations. The athletic department is gratified
by the interest students have taken in the matter of buying tickets
but it have overlooked the fact the students are sometimes slow to
decide and while they really want to attend the games, they delay
until it is too late to secure accommodations. Some provision should
be made to seat every student in the student section at every game.
DEMOCRATIC KINGLIHOOD
What constitutes democracy among kings? The present visit of
Albert, King of the Belgians, to this country raises this question.
Boston gave its characteristic greeting to the brave man who sym
bolizes to America the strength and heroism of Belgium. We
cheered him and praised him not because of his royal heritage; in
the words of editorial columns in the American sense he is a king
among men.
Yet America had heard much of his democracy. Stories of his
contempt for pomp, of his quiet suffering witli his soldiers on the
battlefield, had prepared us for a kindly, easy going man, such as no
doubt, we find in the stage conception of our own Lincoln. In that
it must be confessed some were disappointed. Albert wore the uni
form of the soldier; his countenance carried the resolute dignity
that becomes a lieutenant-general not only, but also a quiet reserve
that was dampening to the emotional enthusiasm of thousands who
stood vigil for a glimpse of him. There were many downcast young
fisces as his car passed through streets packed with curious ones.
"Aw, he's a king after all," these sturdy young republicans seemed
to be thinking.
But how unjust it would be for Americans to apply to King
Albert a- vaudevillian measure of democracy. The strength of our
political philosophy lies not only in the clothes we wear, in the free
dom of our intercourse, in a certain unbending of our backs and our
necks. Homespun philosophers tell us that democracy is a faith, not
an attitude. And that is the true test. It amounts to freedom of
opportunity and a frank confidence in the integrity and intelligence
of our fellowman. In this sense King Albert is not lacking. In this
sense he is all that America had hoped he would be a member of
royalty who keenly feels the shallow tribute that lies therein, who
has built with his countrymen a kingship as democratic as Belgians
will allow. Ivan Beede, in the Boston Post.
I NTER-FRATERNlTY FELLOWSHIP
One of the mest commendable movements which lias been started
on the campus this year is the plan now under way whereby each
fraternity will send a representative to every other fraternity for
dinner oti ne evening each week. The movement grows out of a de
sire for inter-fraternity fellowship, fraernity spirit and better ac
Miaint;uire among fraternity men.
'i here ha:; been o noticeable lack of fraternity spirit, a lock of
acoiiain'.iiice between members of different mens organizations since
the war upset the normal trend of fraternity life and severed the ties
t'at formerly bound them closely together. Many fraternity men
have returned to school this year and they find themselves unfamil
iar with general fraternity conditions, unacquainted with the mem
bers of other organizations. The plan of exchanging guests for
dinner will piie them ample opportunity to renew acquaintances
v. hirh lapsed during the war and to get into active touch with fra
ternity life outside their own particular group of men.
The movement has advantages within itself. Many men are
raturally nut mixers and are likely to become centered in their own
fraternity, neglecting to exert a little effort to form friendships with
rther men. There men will be benefited by the associations which
they will experience in visiting other houses. Students who pledge
cne fraternitq sometimes form the erroneous impressions that they
lose the friendship of men who have pledged other fraternities and
they drop the friendly relations which may have existed between
them, when by cultivating them, they could strengthen the good
feeling between their organizations. The ultimate object of the plan
ap far as the men are concerned personally is to avoid the breaking
of friendships and the arisal of petty differences and to broaden a
mans viewpoint in regard to fraternity relations and functions.
Kvery fraternity man will visit every other fraternity house dur
ii.g the year. The movement is the outcome of a natural feeling that
friendlier bonds should exist between all fraternities. The results of
the plan will be watched with hopeful interest at Nebraska.

GEORGE MOORE ON KIPLING
In the course of his "Avowals,"
George Moore pays strong tribute to
Kudyard Kipling.
"I envy Mr. Kipling," he says, "his
copious and sonorous vocabulary, es
pecially his neologisms; he writes
with the whole language, with the
language of the streets. He can do
this, for he possesses the inkpot which
turns the vilest tin idiom into gold
"Mr. Kipling's world is a barracks
full of oaths and clatter of sabres;
but his language is so copious,' rich
and sonorou that one is tempted to
say that none since the Elizabethans
have written so copiously. Shelley and
Wordsworth, Landor and Pater wrote
with part of the language, but who
else, except Whitman, has written
since the Elizabethans? 'The flan
nelled fool at the wicket, the muddied
oaf at the goal' is wonderful langu
age. He writes with the eye that ap
preciates all that the eye can see "
An 800-page inclusive edition of Kip
ling's poetry from 1885 to 1918 is soon
to be issued by Doubleday, Page &
Company.
