Why do raindrops haunt me, Taunt me, flaunt me? Ghosts of borrowed umbrellas. I am the voice of midnight That utters a piercing groan As I search for it and stumble As I reach for the telephone. I dare not be too long alone Lest I awake and find me gone! PURPOSE OF THE CONCERT. It is the duty of every student in the University to get behind the con cert that is to be given in the sta dium Wednesday and do everything possible to make it a success. A great deal depends on the mea sure of success with which this enter prise is received. This concert demonstrates another use for the stadium. It shows that the structure is not for athletic pur poses only. It proves that the sta dium can be used for many events besides athletics. Students are offered a rare privi lege by being given an opportunity.to hear the Minneapolis Symphony Or chestra, one of the premier organiza tions of its kind in the country, and at a price far below that usually charged for admission, this being made possible by the large seating capacity of the stadium. Some friends of the University out through the state have been skeptical of the wisdom of erecting this stadium, and one of the argu ments that has been advanced is that it is foolish to put so much money into a structure devoted solely to ath letic purposes. As most of the students know, many other events are held in the stadium. It is the - plan of the authorities to work out a program of usefulness for the stadium, that not one cent of the money spent on it will be wanted. Every student in the University should plan to hear this orchestra. You will hear one of the best musi cal organizations in the country. You will hear the Universjty chorus, a wonderful organization wth(a fine history. You are not being ask to make a contribution. You are merely being ! , requested to go to hear a wonder ful program at a rate that is far be low that charged in other places. And at the same time you will be rendering a service to the school for if this first venture is a success, this May festival will be an annual event, and a standing challenge to those who have oposed the erection of the stadium on the ground that it is for athletics only. Go to the concert. At the University of Michigan, for example, the men have asserted their rights and refuse to take co-eds to their parties. Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge none of these have co education. Yet, they are famous. Students flock to them because they wish to learn. Let the women go to their board ing schools, and hold their teas there. Then they can enjoy themselves be ing catty and snobish. Some men Ing catty and snobbish. Some men them are incited to it by the social extravagant life brought by the wo men. B. C. and A. D. A POT SHOT AT MEN'S HONOR- ARIES. To the Editor: I read the scathing denunciation of the Silver Serpents, Xi Delta and Mvstic Fish iii the Daily Nebraskan and agree with it in part. They seem to be very unnecessary and useless organizations, but then are they any worse than the Green Goblins, Iron Sphinx and Vikings that the men kid themselves with. I think that the whole group of honorary organizations are the bunk. The way that they are conducted here at Nebraska, they are not hon orary in any sense of the word, but seem to be just interfraternity clubs. They may be useful when ushers are needed for special Univesity events, but it seems that we could get ushers without having to put up with a group of honorary organizations, that never do anything and that serve no useful purpose. The Iron Sphinx are noted for the atrocious initiation that they have. It is the worst remnant of old days and it is a wonder that some initiates have not received serious bodily in jury before now, if all the tales one hears about this initiation are true. I admit that the girl's organiza tions are rather useless, but if th-sy should be abolished, so should the Iron Sphinx, Vikings and Green Gob lins. A GIRL. cuss the '"Game of Nine.' Vikings.

Townsend Portrait photograph AGAINST TEAS. To the Editor: The posters advertising women's tea. May breakfasts, dances, and the columns in the school paper devoted to their athletic activities that amount to nothing, to their self-government organizations, and their Christian association lead me to call for an organized crusade among the men to abandon the pernicious sys tem of co-education. Modem civilization and the mod ern method of intensive study are enough to make the coming genera tions effeminate without deluging the campus with "teas" and "break fast." UniVersity organizations should not be permitted to give benefit dances without a worthy cause. The so-called Christian associa tions spends its time and part of its money it collects from many poor students in serving ices and lolly- pops at "kid parties." The re mainder of its funds it sends to the poor Chinese who are really better off than Nebraskans for they have no co-education in China. (At least it is not prevalent there.) One of the better-known philo sophy professors on the Nebraska campus, remarked recently that one feature of co-education was its ex cellent service to the state -as a matrimonial b area a. It may seni .grange to some f f the students that many of us come to University not to get married, but to secure an "ed ucation." (That is, the men do.) THE STUDY OF RADICAL CON DITIONS. (Daily Illini) Eighteen professors from thirteen of the largest white colleges and uni versities of Texas met recently in Austin, Texas to lay plans for pro moting the study of race relations in the higher educational institutions of the state. It was found that such courses are now being given in a number of Texas colleges and that they are popular, with the students. The educators gathered there recom mend that such courses be intro duced into all the colleges of the J state, and that graduate students be encouraged to undertake special re- scearch in this field. The situation between the white and negro students at the University of Illinois is wholesome but there are many problems that are far from being solved. The average student at the University is sublimely lgnor- jant of these conditions and is quite surprised when informed of them. Ignorance is the big evil that must be fought. There is little use of denying the presence of a race problem in Amer ica. It is here and bound to become an open sore if efforts are not con stantly made in the other direction. True the general situation is touched upon in certain courses in the Uni versity but these, like many others are mot practical and serve not a whit in the solution of our local pro blems. Some steps similar to those under way in Texas would certainly prove valuable here if they would accomplish nothing more than to shake us out of our ignorance and make us aware of the problem that is facing us. Dr. Judd to Address Students at Banquet Dr. Walter Judd, chairman of the national student volunteer move ment, will address the volunteer band of the University, the students who were delegates to the Indianapolis convention, and others who are in tsrested in Christian service work, at a banquet Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock at the Grand hotel.
