BIGGEST ALL-UHI
PARTY PLANNED
Don't Make The Error Of Not
Taking The Daily Nebraskan
January, the month, derives Us
name from Janus, a Roman God, who
took precedence over all other God3.
He had two faces one youthful, look
ing forward; the other aged, looking
I backward. He was the God of all be-
Pnnings.
This is the month of January and
It would be well for all of us to look
ound and see what we might be do
ln8 now that would be of great help
to us in the future. There are a
lumber of such things which every
one may realize upon a little reflec
tion. Perhaps the greatest oi these
errors that the student in the Uni
versity of Nebraska is making at
the present time, Is the failure to sub
cribe promptly for ne Dally Ne
braskan for the second semester.

Are Co-eds As Frivolous As
They Are Sometimes Painted?
(Kansas City Star.)
Not long ago news dispatches told
of the suspension of the Ghost, the
humorous publication of the students
of George Washington university, be
cause it printed pictures portraying
the co-ed in more or less realstic
poses and sprinkled its pages with
epigrammatic observations of "girl
ish" eccentricities.
Other college publications long
have printed spicy pictures and Jokes
in which the co-ed figured prominent
ly, but the authorities under whose
general supervision they are issued
are broader-minded than those of
George Washington university or out
side "reformers" have mt called their
attention to the "horrible state of
student morals" the magazines seem
to portray. v
All of which leads the New York
Daily News to ask: "What is the
matter with the modern college girl?
Is she frivolous, shallow, pleasure
loving or not," And in answer to its
own question News quotes Miss Anne
E. Hickenbottom, dean of Hunter
college, as folows:
"I find the modern college girl an
absolutely honest, serious minded in
dividual who is interested in her work
before anything else. One cannot, of
course, always generalize. There ar-3
all kinds of girls in a college, but I
do not hesitate in saying that the ma
jority of young girls take their task3
seriously and mean to succeed.
"Greatly Exaggerated."
"This criticism that the modern col
lege girl is frivolous and shallow and
only interested in getting pleasure
out of life, is greatly exagerated, I
find. My experience, at any rate,
has been different.
"You cannot blame them for seek
ing social relaxation, considering the
intensive manner in which they work.
Life today is different from what it
JUSSERAND NOT TO
TO
French Ambassador Unable to Ac
cept Chancellor's Invitation
for Commencement.
Ambassador Jusserand writes Chan
cellor Avery that he regrets deeply
his inability to accept the chancel
lor's invitation to be present next
.Tune for the university commence
ment exercises. The French ambas
sador was also invited to be with us
two years ago, but was likewise un
able to adjust his program to that
of the university.
M. Jussurand says he is particu
larly sorry not to be present on this
occasion because of the fact that he
considers the need to be greater now
than for a long time to cement the
friendship between the two repub
lics. He thinks that much has been
printed of late concerning France
which is neither fair nor true. In
most vigorous fashion M. Jessurand
denies the truth of statements which
are being made to the effect that
France flavors submarine warfare
"German fashion." Neither does
France expect to build a fleet of ex
pensive battleships. The ambassador
says that France plans only to begin
one capital ship in 1927, for the pur
pose of beginning the gradual re
placement of the present French ton
nage. He also points out that France
now has ten such ships, and has con
sented, at the request of the United
States, to scrap five of these, in ad
dition to having already scrapped
five partly built the completion of
which the war had prevented.
UNI COMMERCIAL CLUB

was twenty years ago. But I nave
a great deal of confidence in the good
sense of our young girls."
What are some of the so-called sins
chalked up against the colege girls?
"I know of none except that she is
i t 1 1
more impulsive tnan ner uiuer Bis
ters," Miss Lucetta Daniel, welfare
director at Whittier hall, Columbia
university, says.
"The college girls), as I know
them," she says, "work hard and con
scientiously, and nobody can say they
seek pleasure unduly. Criticltm of
the co-eds is unjust, because it is
not justified."
But here ;came tie masculine
cynics who publish the humorous,
semi-humorous and pseudo-humorous
reactions of the student body toward
the campus life. In peppery verse,
epigrafs and sketches they present
the girls as modern Cleopatras and
sophisticated super-vamps.
"Our library may not have so many
books, but one can always pick up a
high-powered date there."
While the Ski-u-mah, University of
Minnesota, devotes more than a page
to a cub reporter's recital of a search
for "the perfect co-ed," of course, this
acme of co-educational perfection
could not be discovered.
The Beanpot, Boston . university,
sends out this spark:
"Co-ed: I hear the girls' basket
ball team has petitioned to be allowed
to play in men's basketball suits.
"Ed: Yes, they found that wear
ing bloomers made them catch cold
in their knees when they put their
street dresses on." '
And even the Jester, Columbia uni
versity, comes to bat with a fling:
"Philosophic Prof: What is Art's
greatest appeal?
"Unfair Co-ed His curly black hair,
I think."
UPPER CLASSMEN
PICTURES SOON DUE
Comhusker Management Asks
Juniors and Seniors to Hurry
With Their Photos.
That it is imperative to have all
individual junior and senior pictures
for the Cornhusker taken at onte at
the Townsend studio, was the sub
stance of an announcement gcen out
yes'erday afternoon by the manage
mer.r of "Everybody's 1922 Annual."
Those who have charge of the
photographs for the year-book say
this is necessary in order that the pic
tures of juniors and seniors may be
finished with the consideration that
is due them.
"If all these pictures are taken at
the last minyte, tjie ,-finis.hing is
bound to be done hurriedly if the
book is to be printed cn time " de
clared Editor Randol Thursday. "Mr
Townsend wishes to make each indi
vidual picture a splendid likeness,
but he cannot do this if the students
do not give them their co opei atir.n
by making an appointment early loi ;
sitting."
All the individual pictures in this
year's book will be placed on a uni
form ' background. This will make a
harmonizing color scheme with the
rest of the book.
Approximately all social fraterni
ties have had their group pictures
taken for the annual, but professioi
al organizations have been slow are
are urged to make appointments to
Townsend's studio immediately.
Norma Talmadge, through her pub
licity manager, Just written the Cciu
busker that she cannot eccer the
honor to Judge the "Vanity Fail"
contest because of the fact that she
is leaving at once for an extended
tour of Europe. Although the judge
has not yet been decided to take her
place. It ia expected that a world-renowned
artist or beauty expert will
be chosen.

OF GEOGRAPHY MEETS
One of the important results of the
national committee on high school
geography, of which Prof. Bengston
of the university Is chairman, has
been to enlist the support of the com

studies. The report given ut Wash
Ington during the holidays led to this

development of studies in these
sciences are being worked out on a
more detailed and scientific basis

Statue Of Athena Adorned With
A SportyTitian-Hued Hair Net
What is the world coming to? Is
even art giving way to "flapperish
whims?" Pheidlas would turn over
in his grave if he knew that Athena
of Lemnss was wearing a hair net.
At the foot of the stairway in Art
hall stands the tall, "junoesque," di
vinely perfect statue of Athena,
"sporting" a titian-hued hair net.
Poor Pheidias! When he devoted
the greater part of his life in mod
eling in bronze the Grecian Goddess,
little did he think that even the
copies of the original would ever suc
cumb to the fashions of the ultra
modern American girl.
The maidens of Greece, from which

traveled over Asi.i visiting the col

R, Mott, hut his work since that time
has for a long time been concen
trated in the United States. Some
Nebraska students met Mr. r.ddy a

whose foreheads "little lines of wor-

you picture the ladies of Greece

This statute, which is a plaster cast
of the marble copy in Dresden, does
net need a hair net. For a Grecian
reproduction, the hair is very flat and
unattractive. Even if the statute

How cruel to take advantage 'of a
helpless piece of art by adorning it
with a hair net. !t would not be the
least surprising to go into art hall
some day and see the tall, stately
Athena wearing a pair of galoshpes.
