"A GOOD START IS HALF THE BATTLE"
"A good start Is half the battlers an old saymg. May it prove
true in Nebraska's start in the basketball season.
Although the Buskersnave to throw their baskets in a small
antique, over-crowded .gymnasium, they proved yesterday that they
were determined that that should not affect their fighting spirit.
This determinaUptiinade the difference between their score of thirty
seven and thpMaroon's fourteen.
Theiumber of men that the coach sent out on the floor in the
initlaVgame seems to indicate that he has an everlasting line of
basket tossers all ready to enter the battle. With this kind of start
'It looks as though Nebraska is going to have a winning team and one
that will be able to take the number of the strongest teams on the
schedule.
NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN?
Much has been said anent the advisability of belonging to several
student organizations. Whether the members of a number of or
ganizations can do justice to all of them is a debatable question. We
are told that we are over-organized, that we have organizations with
no well-defined or constructive purposes. But we are advised to get
into some kind of an organization. We are informed that therein lies
our chance to get the maximum out of university life by seeing it
from more than one angle.
Something new in the way of organizations has been formed at
the University of Minnesota, with a membership composed of the
homeliest students there. It should provide for many who had be
longed to no organization, and give them their opportunity to "see
university life from more than one an.nle."
The following description of the fraternity was printed by a
Minneapolis newspaper:
Affiliation of the "Ugly Duckling" fraternity with the "Gooy Gos
lings" sorority, alleged to be composed of the six homllest men and
the six ugliest girls of the University of Minnesota, will be discussed
in a joint meeting of the societies Monday, according to Warren Ting
dale, president of the fraternity.
The men, who because of lack of appreciatl m of other qualities
beside beau'y on the part of the other students, organized for mutual
entertainment, were the first in the field. When the girls heard of
the movement, they immediately organized a like society and applied
for admittance to the nun's club, planning to form the first co-ed
fraternal organization on the Minnesota campus.
Plans for social affairs have been laid for tlii coining year. air.
Tingdale announced yesterday. The first dance of the season is to be
conducted Jan. 17, and on this occasion, the Ducklings will announce
the outcome of a vanity fair contest to take place immediately after
the opening of the winter quarter. Every student in the university
will be asked to vote for the prettiest woman on the campus, and the
four girls drawing the largest number of votes 'ill be given valuable
prizes at the ball.
Another social function of the Ducklings will be to stage a can
val. Contracts for freaks have already been sent out, and Mr. Ting
dale said there also will be many wild animals at the affair.
In spite of the handicap suffered by the fraternity for lack of
beauty, It Is forging to the fore In the civic and social life of the
campus, the president dec lured yesterduy.
CONTRACTS SHOULD BE C0NTHACT8
The University of Nebraska athletics officials an becoming
aware of the fact that some university athletic boards loo upoa c a
tracts very much the same as William Hohentolletn looked upou L's
treaties, that Is, they are nothing more than scraps of paper. Syra
cuse university Is the latest Institution to break its formal football
contract with Nebraska.
This Is a particularly unwise thing for any university to do. A
contract should be a contract whether made between one business
corporation and another or between one university and another pro
vldlng for the playing of a football game. The trust set forth in one
Is no different than In the other and when the officials of Syracuse
university break their contract with Nebraska they are setting an
exceedingly bad example before the players on ihelr football team.
The members of the team are taught to be fair, honest and Sports
manlike under all conditions on the gridiron that is one of the vir
tues of the game and yet how can the players be expected to "play
the game square" when the officials break their pledges indiscrim
inately? for the good of the pame, universities should take their contracts
more seriously and live up to theru even though momentarily ltston

But suppose that world had ended
yesterday, what a blessing it would
have been to people generally! The
men would not be compelled to wear
those abominable neckties that they
invariably receive for Xmas. The
girls would not be crying their eyes
out because all their men friends
seemed to have deserted them just
a short time before the luletide.
There would have been no more
shortened class schedules, no study
ing, no conditions, no flunks, In fact
everything that the average student
hates intensely would have passed
forever from their life. Darn it.
why didn't the world end?
