TOO MANY ORGANIZATIONS.
Is our University over-organized?
This criticism has frequently been
made. There are organizations for
this and for that, organizations that
apparently have no more serious pur
pose than a page in the annual and
whose most important meeting is at
the studio for the annual picture.
What good do many of these or
ganizations do? What purpose do
they serve? Do they do any harm?
Thousands of dollars are collected
from students in the University every
year as initiation fees to the various
campus organizations. Many of these
are national professional and honor
ary fraternities, and part of this
money is sent to the various national
headquarters. The balance is spent
in the activities, if any, of the group.
A considerable sum is exepnded
every year to purchase the keys and
pins that are required by the newly
initiated members. The amount of
money spent in this direction is great
enough to.make the value of the ex
penditure questionable.
No one questions the fact that a
number of these honorary and pro
fessional fraternities are worthwhile,
but there are some others, the ex
istence of which is unjustifiable.
Nothing much can be done to the
organizations already in existence,
but the Committee on Student Or
ganizations would do well to adopt
a conservative policy in the granting
of permits to petitioning groups.
a verv significant question. Yes,
what has become of the appreciative
girl at our university? w here is she?
In mv estimation, and in the estima
tion of others, she is a very, very rare
character among sorority girls.
A man is truly to be congratulated
who has had a girl thank him for the
good time which he has shown her
during an evening. The usual form
of adieu consists in "Had an awfully
good time" which is said in such a
cynical, also superficial manner, that
the man is often tempted to answer.
"Don't say anything if you can t say
something with a little meaning in
it."
Our university co-eds have acquired
the reputation of being professional
"line-handers." How many girls
pride themselves on not having any
"line?" or bein gof a sensible char
acter? I regret to say that the ma
jority of our girls are too dumb to
realize the value of such a thing.
How they do pride themselves on
thorn sit at home awhile, while you
date the kind of girls that really ap
preciate the money and time which
vou are spending on them.

LEACOCK AND CO-EDUCA-
TION.
(The Daily IHini.)
Stephen Leacock, half humorously,
we believe states that he would dis
card our co-educatoinal institutions
of learning, because he says, women
are shackled by the presence of men,
and cannot learn as readily as when
alone.
We can't agree with this statement
It is no more good for woman to be
alone than for marr; neither is it good
f or her to be outnumbered three to
one. However, the last fact is excep
tional, and could be remedied.
But the fact of co-education is on
rernediable, except by the institution
of a large number of female semin
aries for women of collegiate ageJ

THE CORNHUSKER.
The Cornhusker staff will soon
finish the task of getting the immense
amount of copy and pictures and art
work ready for the printer. A num
ber of sections of the book have al
ready been printed, and the forms
will be closed in a short time.
The Cornhusker this year is above
the average. A much larger amount
of money has been spent in its pro
duction, and at the same time, the
price to the student has been lowered.
This improvement is largely the re
sult of the action of the Student Pub
lication Board in converting a private
business enterprise of the two stu
dents who happened to be editor and
business manager into a University
project, with the editor and business
manager working on a small salary.
Thus it was possible for the present
management to improve the quality
of the annual and at the same time
cut the price.
The 1924 Cornhusker is historical
and is probably the most accurate
compilation of the history of the Uni
versity, including the colleges and
campus organizations, that has been
issued up to the present.
j.tion. It seems as if the numDer oi
sensible girls is even less than the
njiinbor of girls with long hair.
Bat I have strayed from my topic
of criticism. The unappreciativenoss
of the sorority girl of today is strik-
ine. And the reason for this lies in
the manner in which the men in school
have treated them. They have given
the girls everything that they wanted
have sDoiled them. Take, for
oxample, the idea of renting Fords
for going on a date! Are the girls
so weak that they are unable to walk
to a dance? It seems so. Are they
too iroud to ride on the street-car
to a dance? By all means, itsi
It has almost become an established
custom that if a man has a dat5
whether she live four or forty blocks
from tre dance, whether the weather
is pei feet or not, be has to have a
car. But this state of conditions
will not be found among the girls
who do ret belong to sororities. And
they wl express their appreciation
even by more than mere words, just
for the pleasant evening which the
man has shown the girl.
It used to be that the man favored
the ?irl by taking her to a dance ; but
jit present it seems to be that the girl
favors the man by permitting him to
le the favored individual to escort
her to a dance and then she is often
likely to break the date at the very
last moment.
Men, be sensible. Quit spoiling
these poor, dumb creatures. Let
iiom fpmale seminaries are about
the worst place on earth.
If Mr. Leacock could become
thoroughly acquainted with sucn
places, perhars he would not feel so
free to criticize universities where
women are admitted unrestrainedly.
It is far worse for the natural im
pulse for companionship between men
rnd women to be sublimated, than it
is for one of the sexes to be restrained
in class by the presence of the other.
Observations t this University
would not admit of any such re
straints, anyhow. Women talk just
as much and more, just as freely and
more than men; and, last semester
they surpassed the men in scholar
ship. Co-education is proving itself
at Illinois and elsewhere.

What Las become of the apprecia

has arisen at times in the minds of
nearly every man at the University
of Nebraska in the last four7 years.
It seems to be a foolish question at

cance whatever, but upon second
thought and after careful delibera

Just when you're hurrying the most
zip! and away goes that shaving
cream cap. The new cap on Williams
ends the nuisance forever. It's hinged
on and can t get lost.
In shaving, too, Williams has just as noticeable im
provements: Williams lather is heavier and more ckely
woven. It holds the water in against the beard. Result:
quicker softening. Williams lather lubricates no irri
tating friction. Last, Williams is decidedly helpful to the
skin. It keeps your face comfortable no matter how
heavy your beard and how tender your skin. There's
no coloring matter in Williams it is a natural white,
absolutely pure. Say "Williams Hinge-Cap" toyourdealer.
