A CONFLICT OF VIEWS.
It seems that the views of pro
fessors at Northwestern and those at
Nebraska are directly in conflict along
certain lines. The statement made
recently by Mary Rosa rotter, dean
of women at Northwestern Univer
sity, to the effect that the fasliion
extremes adopted by the modern girl
should not be- judged too harshly,
seems directly in contrast to the
statement made by Dr. Lyman, dean
of the College of Pharmacy at the
University of Nebraska, in n recent
session at the Y. M. ('. A., that all
dancing is sensual.
Dean Potter continued t say:
' There i.s nothing wrong v. ill the
till of today because she uss a lip
stick and a dab of powder." The
curious part of Ihese statements is
that they were made at a netting of
ministers' wives. She added: "Of
o""rr the drc;s of 1h jri'l c-f 'nr'iy
-skirt to i he knees almost, flimsy
stockings, liinisy everything -is not
the dress of mother's generation.
Nevertheless', she is "sweet and goo,',
and kind ;.l heart. Site has an in
.iepen-ience that did not belong to her
mother's day; but such is the spirit
of the times. It is a result of the
war."
These swteping statements of Penn
Potter do not even jibe with the
modified vi. ws of Professor Barker,
who believes that modern dancing i.
"not so bad"; but that it is the dress
f the girls who are dancing that i?
t be condemned. If Penn Pnter ap
proves of all the ihincs she says she
.joes we certainly imply that she is
in favor of the toddle, shuffle, shimmy
; nd Hunny Dug. These same d;inces
would make Dr. Lyman blush, and wo
..linht ventuie to say that Pi. riatkrr
v. color just a little.
Can we believe that the views a!
Northwestern differ so widely from
those at Nebraska? Is the sentiment
f Pean Po'.ter the "weigh! of au
thority" at the Kvanston colli ge and
do the views of Pr. I.vnian ant Pr.
Barker coincide with most of tV
views at Nebraska amcna liculty
and among students?

the campus.
If you aro one of those who are
becoming "seedy," saunter over to the
Armory and don a suit. Then you
must stop SAUNDKRINO. Show some

in the position in the world of track
that California held last year In the

Especial attention is called to the

Today we blossom out again with

GIRLS ALSO LIKE
TO COOK AND SEW
The publication of an article to the
effect that Nebraska girls are more
Interested in pig and calf clubs than
in cooking and sewing clubs h.

college or ngrlculturo. Several mem
bers of last year's clubs have shown
their indignation at the suggestion
that the younger generation of gris
are losing interest in home work
They pay that girls are now taking
grater pride than ever in cooking,
sewing and Ither arts of homemaklng!

realize that It is a fine accomplish
ment to be able to cook, sew and keep
house efficiently.
According to figures of the college
of agriculture extension service, near,
ly 1,000 grls were members or cork

about tho same number studied sew

the year's course in cooking and
nearly 400 in sewing. Tho recipes

were used 55,635 timeB, which in

THE LURE OF THE CINDER PATH.
With the coming of the jn'er-Grc-ek
track meet and the prospects of sev-"-al
important meets with other col
leges, the lure of the cinder path is
so attractive that new fisures are
seen each day in the field. The draft
to the diamond sport has taken several
of the most promising tarck men from
the ranks. For this reason. Coach
Schulte has issued th clarion call
for men just ordinary normal men
who have the endurance to "stay with
the ship." It has often been said
that any healthy, normal individual
who baa not been infected by the
drone of laziness can develop into a
good track artist
The proof of this rule is realized
every day not only at Nebraska
but at other college and universities
throughout the country. TRAINING
Is the thing.
Nebraska has had the largest num
ber or track men on the field this year
tr.at she has ever boasted. However,
more men are needed NOW, if the
Cornbnsker school is to rank as one
of the great track Institutions of the
country. According to Coach Schulte.
there are more than two hundred good
THOSE WHO STUDY DURING
VACATION.
After reading an editori.il which
ppoared in the Paily Nebraskan the
first part of the week, a certain stu-

differed with us on the point that stu
dents should not study during any 1
vacation in gmeral and spring vaca-!
j tion in particular. He said that there
it's cei tain wo:k thai must be done
j iii:'ing vacations for those students
i v. i.o a-e tak .: much lubon.tory work,
jj'f. explained tha? he. for one. had
h-ft n any things to do during spring
v acatirn.
"And were you playing around while
y. i veit- paving up those things to
d" duiing if-ciss?" we ask-d. He j
didn t deny thai he was.
if you apply yourself froia day to j
day you need not worry about the j
oik you will have to do during j
spring vacation. "The sooner Univer
sity students realize that they must
do their work from day to day. the
Quicker their scholarship will show
an even increase." Raid a student

Spring is here. No matter whether
it is a little chilly, the signs of spring
are undispuiablc. It is the op n sea
son for tpring parties. And spring!
parties mean a profusion of flowers,
dainty organdie nd taffeta, diens.-'a
: n l a feling or gaiety that is not
equalled in any other parties of the
year. The spring 'season promises
to be the best of the year, particular
ly after the boycott a:id the ban on

parties. More affairs j;re scheduled j
