CONVICTED BY RUMOR.
The ridiculous rumors that the Uni
versity of Nebraska is a non-Christian
institution that have recently been
circulated and unfortunately given
enaugh credence by some editors that
they published them, are unfortunate.
What could be the basis for the cir
culation of such gossip?
Faculty members, students, and al
umni know that there is no basis for
such assertions. Dame Gossip, how
ever, generally manages to find
listeners, and because of this, the
recent publicity that we are a pagan
crew, has done the University no
good.
Most of these rumors arise be
cause some instructor gives a class
a surprise examination on the Bible,
askine a number of obscure questions
which only a theological student could
answer. Then the answers are tab
ulated, and offered as proof that the
University is non-Christian.
Those who are acquainted with the
University know that the students
come from representative homes in
Nebraska and the Middle west, ana
are no more religious or non-religious
than the sections they represent.
The atmosphere at the University
is far cleaner and more wholesome
than at the average institution
Moral conditions in Lincoln are far
better than in the average com
munity. Registration figures show that al
most every student in the University
has a religious affiliation, and Lin
coln churches all have a large at
tendance of students. Students con
tribute large sums every year to
charitable enterprises!. Philanthro
pic organizations find plenty of ready
workers among the students.
How are we non-Christian!

Student Opinion.
OUR OWN RENAISSANCE.
The appearance of the Freshman
Scrapbook is the first evidence of an
attempt to encourage literary en
deavor that has been seen on the cam
pus for some time. This scrapbook
together with the Anthology of Stu
dent Verse that is soon to appear,
may be taken as healthy signs of a
renewed interest in literary and in
tellectual activity.
For many years interest in such
activity has been at a low ebb. The
trouble has not been a lack of good
work along literary lines, there has
been plenty f that. The chief dif
ficulty has been lack af adequate
mpans of eivine this work expression.
There has been no publication on the
campus which has been exclusively
literary in nature and the expease
involved has made the down-town
publication of literary matter, out of
the question.
The comine of the University print
has chanced all this. It is
now possible to print this material
and to give literary activity a de
finite nlace on the campus. Friends
of the University may point to the
Rrrimhook and the Verse Anthology
iwo concrete bits of evidence that
refute the idea that students are in
terested only in football ani lox-
trotting.
Pn-Hellenic has recently taken
action to make the fall rushing par
ties given by sororities simpler ana
less expensive. Such a course is in
keeping with the progress which Uni
versity of Nebraska women have maae
in regard to their fraternity pro
blems.
Friendliness and cooperation be
tween sororities exist here in rather
an unusal degree. However, during
the fall rushing the tendency is to
revert to the old spirit of intense
rivalry, and the result U that neither
the pledges or the sorroity receive
really fair dealing.
Pan-Hellenic is, attempting to
equalize superficial differences and
put all group on an equal basis.
Next tall there will be but five
parties where formerly there were
six. Donations from alumni which
tend to give the older sororities with
To the Editor:
Several men have been noticed by
the writer going about the campus
without caps or hats. This practice
of men going bareheaded is a com
mendable one, and should be en
couraged. The appearance of the
men themselves is considerably lm-
rjroved by the lack of headwear
on a warm-sunshiny day, and the gen
eral atmosphere of the campus is improved.
Another custom which might well
be begun by the men at the Univer
sity is the practice of wearing old
clothes to school. Not that we would
like to have them appear in any way
shabby or ill-clothed, but have them
wear clothes of a reasonable cost.
At the present the beau brummels of
the campus have so attired them
selves that a man wearing a pair of
trousers that doesn t match his coat
looks like a tramp alongside of the
Fashion Park models.
Expensive clothes are nice to wear
on state occasions but the practice
of wearing only the best of clothes
for daily school-wear is to be dis
couraged. It is unnecessary and ex
pensive, and adds a cold formality
to campus life. At California U.,
Stanford, and other great Univer
sities the men have adopted the
policy of wearing old clothes to
school. Why not Nebraska?
"HOOT MAN."
To the Editor:
Yes. a man is truly to be congrat
ulated when he meets an appreciative
university girl. If he has an oppor
tunity to experience her company
many of us have reason to envy him.
On the other hand many men have
dated girls, who on first appearance
seemed straight, wholesome, withs
what appeared a good degree of com
mon sense only to find, after a few
accompaniments, that he has been
utterly decieved and found those at
tributes by which she was held in
high esteem, totally lacking.
On tie whole a man over-estimates
rather than under-estimates a girl's
character. He gives her the benefit
of the doubt. Looking at it again,
should it not be so? He expects her
to be a little finer and more sensitive
than himself. If she falls shorts of
his estimation, in reality, it would
seem, that to her, there would be an
opportunity for everything to gain
and nothing to lose. For various
reasons this does not follow, because
she persists in being trivial.capricious,
indifferent, and seeking only a good
time, for almost anyone anywhere.
We will have to grant that many
of the popular girls have a fair rat
ing in their studies, but would we not
have to grant a few "conditions" in
rating personality. Which is more
essential, sheer book knowledge or a
real personality and character?
This does not warrant the fact that
there are no real girls on the campus.
What we need to do is to look for
them in the less popular ranks. They
are liable to be overlooked as they
do not force themselves into the con-
spicious positions as so many do.
Being more reserved, modest and shy
does not make them insignificant,
but truly in the the forefront. One
does not have to be popular to be
great.
In proportion to. thv number of
boys that enter the university are
there no more girls than boys who
come for a good time? It appears
that the world owes the girls every
thing and they in turn, nothing.
This situation arises somewnat
from the fact that there are more
bovs than girls attending the univer
sity, but merely because the girls are
guided by sheer instinct rather than
reason. A complete-olution to the
situation would be to abolish co-edu
cation.

Why work overtime?
The student who works overtime is
often the one who, for some reason, is
not truly efficient. The almost imper
ceptible slowing-down of his thinking
necessitates spending more time and
labor on his work.
It is a surprising fact that much of
this inefficiency is due to a slight neg
lect in eating. Many people do not
realize that all the healthful, nutritive
and laxative properties of whole wheat
bran can be secured in a really tempting
breakfast dish.
Post's Bran Flakes, while retaining
all the natural properties of bran, have
a rich, appetizing flavor that is deli
riously different. Crisp, crunchy, and
nut-brown, Post's Bran Flakes appeal
to the most critical.
To satisfy your taste and your reason,
try Post's Bran Flakes for tomorrow's
breakfast. You will be treating your
self to a pleasant surprise, and storing
up hours, not for "overtime," but for
recreation.
