Alpha Delta, a literary social fra
ternity, is the latest addition to the
circle of Greek letter social organi
zations on the campus. To the many
friends and exponents of the fratern
ity in Nebraska college life, this ad
dition to the fold comes as a wel
come surprise. The influence of a
well-ordered fraternity, both on the
individuals composing it and on the
University, is an asset to the Uni
versity ,and the formation of Buch
societies is to be recommended.
Fifty-three universities and schools
are signed up for telegraphic meets
with the Nebraska all-university rifle
team. For a record in the number
of meets scheduled, the rifle team at
Nebraska takes first place. Whether
or not the rifle team has the same
success in winning matches that they
have in securing Mich meets, the
fact remains that no one can ac
cuse them of arranging a weak
schedule.
Dr. Everett, the physician who has
had charge of Nebraska's athletes
for eighteen years, has been initiated
as an honorary member of the N
club. How much of the success of
the Cornhusker athletic teams in
those years is due to Dr. Everett is
a question that can never be accur
ately answered. It is enough to say,
however, that Dr. Everett has had a
vital part in every Nebraska victory
of this period. The honor bestowed
upon him by the N club was well-earned.
In basketball practice the other
evening no counters were scored
against the Husker "pony" team in
a twenty-five minute scrimmage pe
riod. Reports such as this from the
cage floor augur well for the Husk
ers in the Valley basketball race this
year. Proper student support of the
team will be necessary if Coach Kline
ia to produce a winner.
Kansas University will hold its
annual radionight progr "tn in the
near future. K. U. .. .ni every
where are expected t: ten in on
this program, which will include
speeches and Jayhawk yells and
songs. This unique method of our
sister University to the south of
keeping in touch with her alumni is
worthy of our admiration. Close
contact with alumni is one of the
most potent factors in the success of
any educational institution.
An almanac containing a com
plete history of Kansas University
will be published soon at the Jay
hawk school. The lack of such a
record of the history of the school
has beev. a long-felt want at the Uni
versity of Nebraska. Fortunately,
the need for a like guide book at
Nebraska will soon be filled. The
1924 Cornhusker will feature an
historical section, dedicated to the
history and traditions of the Corn
husker institution.
Dear Editor:
Please tell the Board of Regents,
or whoever is responsible for the
ruling, that it is inconvenient and
unpleasant to return to school on
Wednesday following a short vaca
tion. We appreciate their benevolent
disposition and are certain that they
will not consciously work a hardship
upon us.
Tt is essential, of course, that we
get .v education. We must get our
"poiish." But can't we forget that
we are the leaders of the untutored
hordes of the next generation for
two or three days? Why not spend
that time with our families?
Christmas is a sacred tradition
the less tampered with the better.
Christmas is not a season for mod
ern ideas of conservation of time.
We are rushing and running, bustl
ing and elbowing our way about the
whole year through. Why exhibit a
fastidious consideration of unimport
ant matters at Christmas-tide? The
glorious spirit of Christmas good
will towards man, peace on earth
cannot be entered into if you are
constantly watching your clock and
calendar.
Civilization with its rush and lack
of sentiment has relentlessly cur
tailed or abolished all festivals.
Thanksgiving season, instead of the
wonderful old-fashioned time of the
harvest and gratitude to God for his
bounty, has been cut to an odd day
upon which turkey is eaten. Easter
is important only to tailors, milliners,
and the possessors of spring bonnets.
Washington's and Lincoln's birth
days, and safe and sane Fourth of
July are mere formalities seldom
marked red on the calendars.
Oh, let us keep Christmas!
If this constant cutting goes on,
some day our Christmas holidays will
be an extra half hour for lunch. Let
us have those three extra days for
the observance of the glorious Yule
tide! Petty considerations of time
are not the proper thing for the holi
est festival in the year the time of
Christ's coming.
Otherwise, we might just as well
all leer with Scrooge:
"Christmas? Bah! Humbug!"

Complaint has been made about
the campus of the large number of
uninvited guests attending parties
this fall. This practice, an old of
fence at the University, has been in
creasing this year.
Looking at the affair from the sel
fish interest of the student who in
dulges in this practice, it seems to us
that it is poor policy. While he may
have a good time at the party, isn't
the friendship and good will of the
members of the fraternity giving the
party worth more to him than the
two hours or so of dancing? Rarely
does an uninvited guest attend a

COLUMBIA: Plans for the estab
lishing of a landing field for planes
on the newly established air route
between Kansas City and St. Louis
will be considered at the next meet
ing of the board of directors of the
Commercial Club. The high cost of
placing a field here with a hangar
and other equipment prevented the
immediate establishing of a fully-
equipped field.
