STUDENT PARTIES.
The student party' last Sa'urdfcy
evening in the university armory
was a distinct success from every
standpoint. Financially it was
success and the four hundred and
fiftv students attending had a mighty
good time, each one of tnem.
Nebraska needs more such parties
for several reasons. In the first place
it increases the spirit of the institu
tion, for the friendships made at an
affair of this kind are wholesome
and make not only the evening but
the days following a happier. Sec
ondly, such affairs make it possible
for those who are not invited to at'
tend any function on those evenings
to have a place to go where a nice
time with nice people may be had.
In the third place, It gives those who
do not have the opportunity to tak
Ing their acquaintances to oiganiza
tlon parties, a place that they may
visit.
Armory parties cost very little to
put on, the university is the gainer
not only in the financial way, but in
the esprit de corp. and the students
are given the opportunity of having
a glorious time.
If the all-university mixer commit
tee wants to meet a student nec3
that has long been in existence, it
will arrange a series of parties from
week to week.
Contemporary Opinion
The establishment of traditions
seems to be in vogue among the dif
ferent colleges and universities of the
country. Every tinir- some new c -re
teeny is introduced, it is "dubl-cd a
tradition, evidently to make it pop
alar. We hear that M. U. his btarteu
one. The real traditions- o'' a schooi
need net be exploited the; are
handed down from age to ag.-. until
they become a part of the school it
self. Webster says that a tradition is the
delivery of opinions, doctrines, prac
tices, rites, and customs from father
to son or from ancestors to posterity;
the transmission of any opinion from
forefathers to descendants by oral
communications, without wr'ticn me
morials. If Webster be right, and we are in
clined to think that he is, how can
the annual Christmas Itree institu
ted at the university this year be
called a tradition? It is a good idea,
and every Kansan hopes that it will
tventually become a custom of K. U.f
but it can hardly be called a tradi
tion at its birth. Can Missouri right
fully call the memorial service hon
oring a former president a tradition?
It may be the starting of an annual
tribute to the memory of one who did
much for the cause of education but
the making of a traditional tribute re
quires a great span of years. Seldom
Is the making of a tradition visible.
All universities and colleges have
numerous traditionary customs. Har
vard, Yale, Columbia, Kansas all
have rites which are considered as a
sacred part of the Institutions which
those names represent. But how
many are traditions? Is Webster
right? He has generally been ac
cepted as such.

Party Schedule.
Pan-Hellanic has requested that
Miss Heppner's party schedule b?
closed for the use of the Daily Ne
braskan, so the society and calendar
reporters have a hard time. If every
organization would see that some one
cf It's members stop in the "Rag" of-
ice and schedule their party in the
brown book on the Associate Editor's
desk, it would be a great help to the
reporters.

If you can dress to mane yourseu
attractive,
Yet not make puffs' and curls your
chief delight;
If you can swim and row, be strong
and active,
But of the gentler graces lose not
sight;
If you can dance without a craze for
dancing,
Play without giving play too strong a
hold,
Enjoy the love of friends without ro
mancing,
Care, for the weak, the friendless, and
the old;
If you can master rrencn ana ureen
and Latin,
And not acquire, as well, a priggisn
mien;
If you can feet the touch of silk and
and satin
Without despising calico and jean;
II you can ply a saw ana use a nam-
mer.
Can do a man s worK wnen me neeu

Can sing when asked, witnout excuse
or stammer,
Can rise above unfriendly snuus auu

sometimes you should meet and
love another
And make a home with faith and

And you its soul a loyal wife and

You'll work out pretty nearly, to my

The plan thats been developed mru

And win the best that nre can nave

You'll be, my girl, a model tor ine
