REPRESENTATIVE NEBRASKANS
Choosing: the Senior Nebraskans
for the Representative section of the
Cornhusker is being done this week.
The pictures of the ten seniors, five
men and five women, who received
the highest number of votes in this
contest, will be placed in this sec
tion of the 1924 annual.
Students are urged to deliberate
carefully before casting their bal
lots for the most representative Ne
braskans, and the respective merits
of the various seniors under con
sideration should be carefully
adjudged. Places in this honor sec
tion will be given strictly on merit,
and students should decide for them
selves just which seniors fulfill their
ideal of a representative Nebraskan.
All-around accomplishments should
be considered, when choosing the
most representative Nebraskans.
Students who have achieved high
honors in but one phase of college
life should not be chosen. Rather
should be chosen the senior who his
attained distinction not only in ac
tivities, for example, but the stu
dent who has maintained a high av
erage in his scholastic work, who has
done his share in campus activities,
and who is truly a representative
Xebraskan, a loyal Cornhusker, a
true friend, a student of noteworthy
accomplishments.
These qualities, rather than the
qualities which enable one to rate
high socially, or to have the repu
tation of being a good "policy play
er," should be considered in choosing
the most representative Nebraskans.

Feeling might gay.

anything objectionable that happened
is not to be laid at their door. Our
students are simply dazed after hav
ing read what your editorial had to
say and I beg of you, please for
give anything that happened for we
were not a party to it and I add what
our editor said in his article Notre
Dame, we are sorry. Sincerely yours,
FRED T. DAWSON.
Freshmen who made a pledge for
paying on the stadium during Fresh
man week and deferred their first
payment until December 1, should
make this payment at once. Prompt
payment of stadium pledges is even
more important than the making of
the pledge.
Some students in the University
are persisting in writing checks on
insufficient funds, evidently conclud
ing that because they are students
no action will be taken against them
for this violation of the state laws.
University authorities have gone the
limit, however, in dealing leniently
with the offending students, and un
less the practice is stopped, severe
measures will be taken.
Tryouts for the interclass debate
teams will be held this afternoon.
Debate is one of Nebraska's most
worthwhile activities, and consider
able interest is being shown in the
class teams. Characterized as "Amer
ica's greatest indoor sport," debate
has achieved a high standing at Ne
braska" because of its effiicency in
teaching students to think straight
and to think fast.
of thorough and regular attention to
classes even above what exists now.

Dear Editor:
Friday night ?900 will be spent by
300 Btudents for a formal party. The
sum will provide entertainment for
about 700 persons. That is not very
expensive.
But the point is: If this party is
costing so much and if the officers
are going through these weeks of
works to put this annual ball across
why doesn't the committee on Stu
dent Organizations allow the party to
stay open an hour or more after the
stipulation closing time? Why does
it have to close at 11:30 when an ex
ception could easily be made without
endangering the future discipline?
The cadet officers consider this
very seriously and would certainly
like to have you and other students
express their opinions on the matter
of a grant of a later closing hour for
the greatest formal of the year the
formal that every student is eligible
to attend and the party that is cer
tainly an event in the life of every
university student.

Student Opinion.
Contributions to this column are very
welcome and invited. Student opinion Is
valuable to the editorial staff of the paper,
consequently we welcome it.
To the Editor:
The Student Board of Columbia
University recently submitted to the
constituent student body a resolution
containing, among other provisions,
one aimed at the exemption of con-
Dame Daily, and which was subse
quently published in that paper. In
this letter Dawson makes an explan
ation of what the Notre Dame play
ers complained of as rough treatment
at the hands of the Comhuskers,
showing that Cornhuskers did not
participate in the objectionable hap
penings of the day, and that the spirit
which dominated Nebraskans on that
day was a spirit of welcome and
friendship.
In view of the cordial relations
which have always existed between
Nebraska and the South Bend insti
tution, we hope that Coach Dawson's
letter has cleared up the misunder
standing in this affair, and put the
friendship of the two schools on an
even stronger basis than before.
Coach Dawson's letter reads as
follows:
Editor of the Notre- Dame Daily,
My dear Sir: It is with a great
deal of chagrin that I read the article
which appeared this morning in our
Daily Nebraskan and which I am en
closing. We are all mortified indeed
to learn that the members of the No
tre Dame team felt that Nebraska
was lacking in the courtesies usually
extended to the visiting teams. I
want to assure you that every prep
aration possible was made by our
students to extend a warm, friendly
greeting to the Notre Dame team
and that their desire was prompted
fey the fact that two years ago we
were royally and splendidly received
when we played at South Bend.
My own attempt at explanation of
the deplorable happening is as fol
lows: In attendance at the game
tLfci-e were many people not con
nected with the University;' and I
heard several of these make remarks
to the Notre Dame team as it with
drew from the field after the game.
I hope and trust that yon will under
stand that our student body and
alumni have rothing in their hearts
but friendship for Notre Dame; and
tion m certain courses. W ith few
dissenting votes the four classes at
Columbia took their stand in favor
of this revision of the University sys
tem of grading. The Student Board
of Columbia supports this subject as
part of "a campaign to bring the un
dergraduate members of the Univer
sity to a realization of their respon
sibility in all branches of scholastic
and non-scholastic endeavor."
The plan adopted by Columbia stu
dents and submitted to the faculty
seems to have a great deal of merit,
and it might not be impracticable to
approach the authorities of the Uni
versity of Nebraska with an eye to
its adoption here. Exemption of stu
dents w';iose grades are consistently
good would come as a tangible re
ward for their serious effort. Regu
lar and steady study throughout the
year not only aids the University in
promoting education, but lays tie
foundation for the individual of an
intellectual background approximat
ing the aim of the University.
Through the Student Council this
proposal could be acted upon in con
ference with representatives of the
University Senate, and, if it assumes
definite form, could be submitted to
the students of the University. If
adopted at Nebraska this exemption
from examination should prove a spur
to effort, and should increase uncer
graduate responsibility to a position
To the Editor:
There is a crying need upon our
campus for some medium that will
offer expression for the literary tal
ents of our undergraduate students.
Other schools publish with profit lit
erary periodicals to which contribu
tions are solicited from all students
of ability who delight in writing
merely for a pastime.
The Daily Nebraskan serves its pur
pose in presenting the news of the
day. It is not to be expected that
a newspaper, which is one in the real
cosmopolitan sense of the word
would carry a "Poet's Corner." In
deed such columns are even in rather
poor taste when it seems evident that
such a department is conducted mere
ly as a means for filling up space,
when the supply of real news has run
low.
A Nebraska book of verse is being
planned, and contributions of both
money and material have been so
licited. It is a most worthy project
and we trust that it meets with the
success it deserves.
There is a great wealth of talent
that goes unrecognized on our own
campus, and the expression of that
talent would mean a great deal in
promoting that atmosphere of refine
ment and artistic appreciation which
we should so like to create. A move
ment to establish a literary magazine,
a forum to which all students of abil
ity and faculty members would be
asked to contribute, would meet with
hearty enthusiasm of our students,
faculty and alumni. We should like
to hear that something has come of
this project. A STUDENT.
