KEEP UP THE PEP
News of !)w memorial drive sound especially encouraging. Ne
braska will seen have a real gymnasium worthy of her name and
fame in athletic atid activity circles. It is good to see the alumni
. dM'.e Ki the front to hack up the fund and also the student bod v.
'Die campaign to send the track team to l'enns lvania was called
, if so thai all efforts miht be concentrated on the memorial drive.
', our turn will come then. Don't let your enthusiasm pan out now
'list keep i' in re-serve. We will want all your support and loyal
N.-hrasku backing then. Watch for the call to arms.
LIMITING ORGANIZATIONS
Should Nebraska lake any steps to limit organizations on this
rumpus? Kvcry week the report comes of the founding of some
new club until it appears that there will soon be nothing but clubs
iMid societies in the running order. As one student remarked.
'There won't be lime to go to school at all after while." It is true
that a larger number of organizations gives more opport unit ies for
;11 students to take part in school affairs, but there is a grave danger
. f over-indulgence in this form of democracy. Scholastic work at
; n educational institution should come first, with the social and
socialized experiences second. It is all very well to have enough
organizations for every student in the University to be truly demo
cratic, but there is no need of having six or eight.
THE FORENSIC CAUSE
A very worthy but much neglected activity has begun action.
Nebraska debaters are preparing to meet the foe for the lirst time
liis year. The best men available have been picked for the dual
teams which are to meet Iowa Thursday and Friday.
Debating ha never had proper recognition here and the true
spirit is vital to help put over any school interest. How would the
ornhusker football team ever carry off any honors if they received
'.-.: more support than the debaters? Debating means long weary
hours of study, memory work and practice. Let's give them some
credit for that work, plus our interest and best wishes.
ARE YOU GUILTY
How students of today amuse themselves was shown in Monday's
special edition of The Daily Kansan. Dancing and attending movie
snows seem to he the main channels which students follow to find
d:vergence from the daily grind of studies.
A ganiH which has been a favorite with American school children,
iilsn .seemingly so for students of the University, and which was not
mentioned in the Kansan, is the old game of "Fox and Geese."
Impossible, you say. But we cite you to the numerous paths across
ti.e University campus, anywhere, everywhere. Some of them lead to
ii-) place in particular, and many of them are not even justified as time
savers. Thoughtless students have carried the practice to such an
etent lhat the campus is begining to resemble a huge "Fox ind
t.eese" playground.
The campus of the University should be a thing of beauty, the
pride, of every true Jayhawker, and he 6hould attempt to keep it
beautiful. Promiscuous cutting across it, thus making innumerable
paths, will not add anything pleasing to its appearance and certainly
ten minutes between classes is ample time for the students to go from
one building to another and get there on time.
Assuredly University students should be more advanced than to
indulge in such a childish game as "Fox and Geese." Daily Kansan.

where would we be who do not
usuallv wear overalls? Here again
with our "Society Brand," or what
.., von may call it. Had we played
the game successfully? Not so, to my
mind. No' being their regular cus
tomers, what should we (to it me
profiteers, who would play their game,
too, should raise the price of their
nunodities again? But by that time
we had probably thrown away our old
overalls, or had perhaps sold them at
nominal pi Ice. We should secure
for ourselves new ones, for overalls
were again fashionable. Could we
plav the game over and over
again with the shrewd and moneyed
profiteers?
In conclusion, 1 wish to say that
in my humble opinion the wearing of
overalls would not lower the high
cost of living. It would simply add
that much to the varied items of our
necessities or luxuries. The case,
therefore, to my belier. calls lor the
wearing of old clothes, and not the
buying of new ones, whether overalls
or not.
Yours for the Alma Mater.

STUDENT OPINION
ROBERT PARKINSON
DIES AT DAYTON
To the Kditor of the Daily N'ebra.-kan:
Coming across your editorial of
April 1H. on the subject of "Overalls
or Not." I wish to express my opinion
on that interesting and most vital
t;uesiion. That the subject is inter
esting is manifest ; it is widely (lis
cussed, and the affirmative conclu
sions arrived at by those who take
ip the subject, individually or in
group, are put into practice. I! is
vital because it involves one of 'he
'prime necessities of life, clothing, as
'well as the all-important problem of
the high cost of living,
i Before I take any stand on thi"
! question. 1 should like to make the
for every University student, or is it
i issue clear. Is it a question of overall
only for those who must of necessity
thave to buy new suits? As our pur
i pose in view is to lower the high cost
: of living generally, we should elimi
nate the secon dissue. because the
'effect would be hardly ft It by the
! profiteers on woolen goods it only a
few of us should wear overalls.
The question, then, for our con
sideration is this: Shall we students
lot the University of Nebraska do
! away with the woolen suits we have
now, and wear overalls in order to
'help lower the high cost of living?
On this issue I am on the negative
side for the following reasons:
Firstly, because to buy something
which we do not need means unneces
sary and extra expense. How many
of us students can really complain
that we have nothing to wear in the
strict sense of the word "nothing"?
Nowadays when we say we have
nothing to wear we do not mean that
we are back in the days of Adam
and Kve, or an thing verging on the
fashion of their clay. We simply
me an in most cases that our suits are
not uplo-date. Why not make it
fashionable to wear our old suits, in
stead of creating an entirely new.
though apparently "democratic" fash
ion by wearing overalls?
Secondly, the wearing of overalls
will force the price of denim up. One
of the fundamental principles of eco
nomics, the law of supply and de
mand, explains the matter. It would
be highly probable lhat the price of
overalls would reach a point where it
would be extremely hard for working
npor.le to secure them. Nothing is
improbable now as far as the rise of
prices is concerned. Why should we
apply another evil in trying to elimi
nate one? Yet that would be the
oitnaUnn if we all wear overalls.
Then when we are all wearing over
alls and have brought down the price
of woolen goods, we should perhaps
set aside our overalls because the
craze for fashion newly created by
the profiteers on woolen goods would
overcome us. Where would the work
ing people be? They would be left
to solve their own problem of lower
ing the price of their clothiiv,-. And

Perhaps you read the Ditty n ,hp
overall brigade
In which we thought it best to live..
w ithout the clothie rs aid
And crack the profiteer smack-ilat)
eliminate the cost
Or clothing, bill I've come to think
it's but another frost.
No soone r had the people s'urteu
wearing overalls
And blue became the fashion of H
score of college halls
Than overalls advanced to .-n ani
'leven bucks a pair
And Unionalls went higher than h
rocket at a fair.
At lhat it might be cheaper than a
profit-seekers sun
At what they ask, a man might ; a
house and lot to boot ;
Put what about the working man wti
dollies double price
Who's slung because we think t;.;.t
profiteering isn't nice.
Fear not. 1 love no profiteer, if power

I'd fill hint full of "s's and chuck him

But why make hardships on the ci;y
