VOTE TODAY.
The student who does not vote to
day can truthfully say that he has
had no voice in the choice of the
president of his class, but with the
opportunity easily available to every
one, the fair-minded student will not
say bo. The polls are to be open con
tinuously from 8 o'clock to 6 o'
clock. Not only is it to the advantage of
the student to vote, but also to the
cause of student self-government at
the University of Nebraska.
Although the average student
stays away from the polls, he may
be sure that the "politicians" and
"hand-shakers" will be on the job
every one of their supporters will
cast his ballot. With such an or
ganized opposition to the advocates
of true representation, it is neces
sary that every student vote.
There is no need to fear "dirty"
politics, for, if many of the students
vote, the organized vote of the poli
ticians will have small effect on the
outcome.
And if only a few students vote,
the winning of the election by an
organized group can hardly be call
ed "dirty" politics, for the student
body will have shown that it has no
interest in the matter.
To be certain that student self
government exists at Nebraska, to
give himself in a fair voice in the se
lection of class officers, the indivi
dual student, as a citizen of the cam
pus, should vote today.

calls criticism, could in this column,

A REGULATION.
A student opinion received Mon
day could not be printed because the
editor was not furnished the writer's
name. The name will not be dlvul
ged to anyone else by the editor, but
he must know the writer of the stud
ent opinion in order to make certain
that it was not written in a spirit of
malice or as a practical Joke.
Many Well-known Plays Have Been
Presented by Nebraska Students
REBUTTAL,
A comment appears in the student
opinion column in this issue criti
cising an editorial that appeared in
the Sunday Nebraskan. If the es
sence of this comment is to be taken
as any indication of the spirit of the
students, then the world will never
progress under their management;
for if anyone offers criticism, even
of the mildest character, he will be
called a "knocker" and his state
ments "purely destructive." If the
editor wished to criticise the Tassels'
stunt, he should have planned a
stunt for them, and described it in
the editorial that criticised their at
tempt at the Illinois game, it seems.
The editorial that referred to the
Tassels' stunt was not purely de
structive. Perhaps it was not stated
as plainly as it should have been for
the superficial reader, but the writer
attempted to make it clear that en
tertainment at a football game
should be, just as all entertainment,
relevant to the occasion.
The idea of entertainment at a
football game was encouraged. The
stunts put on by the Corncobs last
season were praised. From this it
should be apparent that the purpose
rl the editorial was not to criticise
Ibe Tassels' for having had the initia
tive to plan a stunt, but to induce
that organization to use more care
and better judgment in planning its
next program. The praise of the
Corncobs was certainly not "destruc
tive criticism."
By calling the editorial in ques
tion not broad-minded, "A Junior"
implies that it was narrow-minded.
The bare statement, it might be
pointed out, never proves anything.
There are usually at least two sides
to every question, but the side that
he defends is a weak one.
"A Junior" does say, in support
of his stand, that the Sunday edito
rial does "nothing but tear down."
But, again, he does not show this. It
baa been pointed out in preceding
paragraphs that there was contained
in the editorial a suggestion for the
future a more appropriate stunt
next time.
The effort of the Tassels was ap
preciated by most of the students,
- bat that is not sufficient reason why
all criticism of their attempt should
be stifled. Neither was it the first
attempt of the organisation, as "A
Junior" says. Tha Tasaels appeared
on the program at University Night
last winter and later at a downtown
theater.
The stunt tinder discussion was in
- such poor taste that it is probable
that it did much more barm in giving
a wrong impression of the University
to the outsiders at the gme, than
Student Opinion
CRITICISES EDITORIAL POLICY.
To the Editor:.
In reading the Sunday issue of
The Daily Nebraskan, I was surpris
ed to see that the editorial policy had
changed from constructive criticism
to destructive. I am referring to the
comment printed in the editorial col
umn about the Tassels.
It seems to me that such an article
can do nothing that is of any help
to the University. An editorial, in
my mind, should say something that
tends to build up and create rather
than contain criticism that does noth- j
ing but tear down.
If while a student Bits in the Sta
dium, the entertainment isn't what
he thinks it ought to be. why isn't he
broad-minded enough to appreciate
the efforts of those students who
have initiative enough to try to do
something for the benefit of the
school instead of trying to discour-
a'ge the first attempt of an organi
zation.
I am not so much interested in
what the article says but what does
concern me is that our University
oarier should become the means by
which knockers can voice their opin
ions.
A JUNIOR.
The University Players are open
ing the season of dramatic produc
tions with the comedy, "Rollo's Wild
Oats," October 23, 24, and 25. This
organization is the outcome of the
first course in play production given
by the dramatic department in 1915.
Before that time all dramatic produc
tion were the work of clubs or soci
eties. The first production of the Univer
sity Players was Ibsen's "Ghosts" pre
sented at the Temple Theater Nov
ember 8, 1925, which was so well re
ceived that it was soon followed with
the comedy, "Believe Me, Xantippe,"
w"ten by Fred Ballard, an alumnus
.Nebraska.
In 1916 the Players presented eight
plays, several of which, such as "Joan
of Arc" and "The Piper," were pre
sented for the benefit of the French
War Relief Fund.
During the 1918 season, the Unt
versity Players presented several
plays, among which was 'Tasslng of
the Third Floor Back." In this play,
the part of Miss Kits was taken by
Susie. Scott, who has since appeared
in Broadway productions.
A new and keener interest was tak
en in this line of work at the end
of the war. "It Pays to Advortise"
was presented on a tour of the state.
In the 1920 season, the Players pre
sented seven plays, and in 1921 eight.
In 1922 the Players gsve "East is
West," "The Thirteenth Chair," "Be
yond the Horizon," "Dear Brutus"
and "The Taming of the Shrew."
Last year the Players had a suc
cessful season, presenting "The Dover
Road," Madame X," Three Wise
Fools," "Smllin' Thru," "Dulcy" and
"Macbeth," with "You and I" as a
special attraction during Fine Arts
Week.

TO THE EDITOR:
I am writine this letter concerning
two evils at the University. Many
letter have been written on both sub
jects in the past and I suppose as
many will be written in the future
before the conditions are remedied.
Mv subiects are smoking on the
campus and profanity in yells and
songs.
Students nersist in smoking near
the buildings on the campus in spite
of the little sierns (which would prob
ably have no more effect if they were
much larger) on the buildings which
say, "Positively no smoknig in or
near this building." Near all of the
buildings are litters of cigarette butts
and matches which add very little to
the beauty of the buildings in the
PVPS of non-smokers. hc-3sr, much
it may tend to make smofters feel at
home. In front of Chemistry Hall
the bushes are resting in beds of cig
arette butts which are daily becom
ing more apparent now that the
leaves are falling. The appearand
of the campus is a better indication
of the true Nebraska spirit than any
other thing, perhaps, excepting schol
arship. The kind of spirit indicated
by the present appearance of the
campus does not measure up to the
standard a great University like the
University of Nebraska should main
tain. Furthermore, if I remember
correctlv. the Student Council took
a definite stand against smoking on
the campus just a few days ago.
Last vear near the end of the loot-
bull season, the Student Council
asked that students refrain from u-.-
ing profanity in yells and songs. It
Rppmpd that the request had some ef
fect for some yells and songs ceased
to be heard. However, today I heard
those same sones and yells once
more. To find that, as university
students, we cannot, from the re
Rnectable vocabularies we should pos
sess, invent yells and songs without
introducinc nrofanitv is very sad.
It is neither dignified nor admirable
to have such yells. In fact, last year
at the Notre Dame game I was heart
ilv ashamed that my father, whom I
had never heard swear, should hear
such yells and songs from students of
the great Nebraska of which I boast
ed to him. He had not had the ben
efit of college training and I know
that he did not like the idea of the
part of it he heard expressed at that
time. J. 1. m.

FOR THE HEEDLESS.
Criticism has been reported from
several quarters pently, -n regard
to stut'ent drivers ot cars, 6oth on the
campus and in the city. This is a
matter to which it is necessary to
call attention every year, and one
which those students who are so for
tunate as to have cars at college
should be willing to heed.
True enough, the proportion of
student car owners is small, but at the
same time it is large enough to arouse
the ill will of neighbors and "citizens
if recklessness and speedy driving
are continued. Perhaps these offenses
are sometimes falsely attributed to
students, but if no real occasions for
censure are offered, there can be no
proof of blame.
Motor accidents are constantly in
creasing in number. Value of life
and property should have much
!gM in reducing careless driving
among the students, but there is an
other factor which with them, doubt
less, has more. Many universities
and colleges do not permit studeuts
to keep cars at college. This regula
tion has had little discuasioii here,
and obviously, if conditions demand,
it could be made enforceable at Syra-
Ten Years Ago
Coach Stiehra roceived a telegram
from the board of athletics at South
Dakota that a list of men who would
be used in the game with Nebraska
would be sent him before they started
for Lincoln. This was considered a
certain sign that Coach Stcihm would
have nothing to say of the eligibiltiy
of the South Dakota men. The team
was reconstructed, Halligan back to
tackle, Chamberlain to right half and
Hawkins to quarter. Con Wilson was
being tried at end.
The fershmen and sophomores cast
the heaviest ballot in the class elec
tions. Halligan lost the race for sen
ior president.
In spite of the threatening weather,
sixty-five men turend out for the
meeting of the Woodrow Wilson club.
The University band played in the
electrical parade in Omaha as a part
of the Ak-Sar-Ben celebration in the
metropolis.
Twenty Years Ago
The intercollegiate cross-country
races at Chicago on Thanksgiving
were arousing comment. The Chica
go University Maroon printed an ar
ticle, quoted in The Daily Nebraskan,
which said that of the fourteen mid-
western institutions to be represent
ed, Chicago, Purdue, Nebraska and
Michigan were exceptionally strong.
It was reported that the freshmen
had at last plucked up the courage
to meet to elect their officers and
complete organization of the class.
Sophomores, had ruled a previous
meeting with an iron hand, and were
to be excluded; the junior president
was to be in the chair, and Chancel
lor Andrews was to be sergeant-at-
arms.
The sophomore class that was so
tyrannically over-riding the freshmen,
had been one of the most pugnacious
freshman classes in the history of
the University, The Daily Nebraskan
said.
