AUTOMOBILES.
Automobiles have caused so much
trouble at several universities that
students have been forbidden to use
them. This rule is in force at the
University of Oklahoma and restric
tions were recently placed on their
use at the University of Indiana. A
number of other institutions have
made rulings on the subject.
Thomas Arkle ClarTc, dean of men
at the University of Illinois, recently
sent to the parents of all undergrad
uates a letter explaining the prob
lem in detail. A copy of the letter
was sent to the office of Executive
Dean Carl C. Engberg. The number

ONE DAY FOR FOUR.
Since the quarter system was
adopted at this University there has
been much discussion about the cur
tailment of holidays There is, for
example, the annual argument about
giving a Thanksgiving recess to last
from Wednesday evening to Monday
morning.
Now we have no sentiment about
holidays. We should make no com
plaint about going to school on
Thanksgiving Day if it were so or
dered.
But since the day itself will be ob
served, we see little to be gained by
depriving students of Friday and Sat
urday and Sunday at home by order
ing that classes be held on Friday.

WHY CLASS SPIRIT.
The letter in the student opinion
column today expressed exactly
sentiment that prevails at eastern
colleges. In the editorial this letter
refers to, and in others that preceded
it, it was attempted to show that
class spirit is not necessarily a de
sirable thing. There seems to be no
good reason for a sharp distinction
of classes.
Only a few freshmen are conceit
ed, and those who are conceited are
more than likely suffering from a
chronic malady that no amount of
"ducking in the frog pond" would
cure.
The first two freshman regulations
which the letter suggests are suppos
ed to apply at present to every stri
dent. It further restrictions were
traditional at Nebraska they would
probably be followed out. But the
school has grown away form regu
lations for the new classes, and it
has gone backward.
The voice of the Harvard fresh-
. i M
men in approving tne custom 01
'haling" is commendable in the same
way that the united action of Ne
braska's freshmen in purchasing
gree caps is commendable.
But additional restrictions on
freshmen are hardly likely to instill
in them more "feeling for the tra
ditions of the University." It would
be difficult to point out any advan
tages from the revival of the old
antagonistic class spirit.
handed down year after year for a
hundred and fifty years.
Such initiations and restrictions
will also tend to weld the freshman
Am., t no-ether and they will have
more feeling for the traditions of the
University and the class. This should
be carried from class to class and
class spirit will be revived as well
as school spirit stimulated.
I saw by the same edition that Har
vard freshmen have asked for tne
restoration of hasing. This surely
hows that if the freshmen in suctt
an old institution as that one believe
that it will improve college men,
surely it could do no harm here.

cites at Illinois, yet there are un
doubtedly many automobiles at Ne
braska that serve no real need. The
letter:
To the Parents of Undergradu
ates: I am writing you frankly to
ask your co-operation in the so
lution of the automobile prob
lem which is giving us, and col
lege authorities everywhere, a
good deal of concern. The in
crease in the number of automo
biles owned or used by students
is alarming. An upperclasman
said to me only yesterday.
"When I came to college I
scarcely knew a half dozen stu
dents who owned an automobile ;
now I hardly know a half dozen
who do not own or have a share
in one."
. The University has made no
regulations about the automo
bile, and does not wish to do so,
hoping through the co-operation
of parents to be able to solve
the problem.
In general the student has no
real need of the automobile;
there are exceptions, of course,
but these are rare. Ninety-five
per cent of the student body are
within easy walking distance of
the campus and can with profit
and without inconvenience walk
to their classes.
The automobile is a waster of
time and money. It encourages
loafing and the taking of fre
quent and unnecessary trips out
of town to the neglect of the
student's regular work. The stu
dent with an automobile is likely
to be a poor student because he
cannot resist the temptation of
the car, in spite of the fact that
he usually promises the home
folks that he will use the car
only at week ends.
The possession of the car in
volves more than ordinary phy
sical danger. A half dozen stu
dents crowd into a machine in
tended for two or three. There
is excitement, and fast driving,
and frequent serious accidents.
There is moral danger in the
car. Whatever of drinking and
stealing, and sexual immorality
exists among college students is
largely in connection with an
automobile. The passion for
driving seems often to stimulate
other passions and unconven
tionalities and actual immoral
ity often results.
Youth is perhaps no more ir
responsible now than it has al
ways been, but the automobile
is an unnecessary and added
temptation to loafing and to
moral iiTespoiisibility.
We are asking you to help
us to solve this problem of elim
inating the automobile from col
lege by declining to let your boy
or girl have a car at the Univer
sity unless there is real necessi
ty. Sincerely yours,
Thomas Clark,
Dean of Men.
but the great majority do not have.
Therefore we do not think the ma
jority should bo discriminated
against.
And then there is the argument
that if they go home Wednesday
night and are told to be back in time
for 8 o'clock's on Monday students
will come traipsing in about the mid
dle of the week. But since there is
a rule about returning after a mid
quarter holiday, that can be stopped.
The gist of the entire matter is
this, that Thanksgiving is a day to
which attaches a great deal of senti
ment in the minds of ordinary folk.
One likes to be home on Thanksgiv
ing, and celebrate. To be sure, the
State of Ohio is not so large that one
cannot go to any corner of it and re
turn to Columbus in 36 hours, but
there are those who do not feel they
can spend the money to go home for
so short a time. And freshmen who
have been away from home a month
and a half by Thanksgiving, would
appreciate the four day holiday with
their people. Ohio State Lantern.
Ten Years Ago
For the fifth time in as many years
the Cornhuskers won the Missouri
Valley Championship by defeating
Kansas 35 to 0. Playing under cloudy
threatening skies the Nebraska goal
was never threatened once and in the
last quarter the play resembled a
procession with Chamberlain leading
the parade. Twice in tne last iew
minutes of play he tore through the
mtir Kansas team for a touch
down. Rutherford is reported as hav
ing played in his usual All-American
stvle and was the most consistent
ground gainer, making from five to
ten yards on every play. One fea
ture of the game that came as a sur
prise to the Nebraska rooters was the
ability of the team to use the for
ward pass. Howard seemed able to
a 1. .
receive a pass regardless oi now
manv Javhawks were surrounding
him.. The game was a fitting climax
to the college football careers oi
Captain Halligan, Howard and Pot
ter. The first All-University party had
been a success and there was no long
er any doubt as to whether they had
nmi to stav. Over one thousand at
tended when only five hundred had
been planned for. The questions oi
larcor floor was being brought up
by the crowded dance floor of the
Armory.

FRESHMAN INITIATIONS.
To the Editor:
I noticed an editorial recently in
The Daily Nebraskan on initiations,
in which it states that the westerner
has a peculiar view on freshmen ini
ations. I have often wondered at the free
dom the freshmen have on the cam
nus and the lack of class spirit shown
by all the classes. This last was
shown in the elections held for the
class presidents when a very small
minority of the members of the
classes roted.
Mv freshman year was spent in an
old eastern college where the fresh
men knew their place and kept in it.
We were the least important class on
the campus and were made to feel it.
We were all of us, more or less in
clined to be "high hat" and to feel
an importance that was not rightly
ours. Having just graduated from
high or "prep" school we felt that
we were the men. This feeling, how
ever, belongs to the men who have
done something for the college and
they had learned that we were all
there together for our education.
It is to my mind necessary that the
freshman be curbed as soon as he
enters the University. The fresh
man regulations are not sufficient,
there should be more restrictions put
upon them. The Olympics are very
good, but they should have something
else, such as: 1. No smoking on the
campus. 2. Keep on the walks, no
short cuts. 3. Fellow upperclassmen
into buildings and classes. These and
imilar regulations are enforced in
most schools of higher education and
the breaking of the rule is a ducking
in the "frog pond" or other similar
stunt In the eastern institutions such
rules as these are entered into whole
heartedly by the freshman class for
there they are traditions of the uni
versity or college and have been
