DEBATING.
The only opportunity of the year
for University students to hear an
important question debated by picked
teams which have spent weeks in
preparation and to take part in an
open forum discussion will be afford
ed by the Nebraska-Iowa debate to
be held in the Temple this evening.
Debating in the University does
not receive the support and interest
of the student body as it does in
smaller schools. This is partly ac
counted for by the fact that athlet
ics play a more important part in stu
dent life here than in the smaller
institutions. Nevertheless, the fact
remains that the students do allow
an opportunity to slip by when they
fail to properly support debating.
Lfeoaung snouia De ot just as
much value to the student as ath
leties. It undoubtedly embodies more
of the true spirit of an institution of
learning than does athletics. Cer
tainly it is not a tenable contention
inac activities which tend to raise
physical standards are more worthy
of support than those which raise in
tellectoal standards.
A CAMPUS LITERARY PUBLICA
TION
In the last issue of the first vol
ume of the McGill Daily Literary
Supplement, the editors reiterate
the principles which guided them
in their selection of material. Part
of the statement is as follows:
"Althoug we have not pre
sumed to be didactic, and have
come forward with no optimistic
and inspiring message nor boast
ed that anyone would rise a bet
ter man for reading what we
have written, we have endea
voured to provide a medium
through which students hare
been able to voice their literary
aspirations and personal opin
ions. Student points of view of
a widely divergent character
have appeared in our columns,
and there has been no attempt
to restrict contributors by the
imposition of creed or definite
dogma. "We have offered a place
where those who desired to do
so hve been able to write freely
on questions of taste, however
unorthodox their opinions may
have been. Nevertheless ortho
doxy has also been permitted
whenever it was cleverly done.
It seems to be true, though per
haps unfortunate, that the stu
dents with the more ordinary,
and perhaps safer acd saner
ideas, have been unable to
clothe them in any distinctive
(rarely even in any presentable)
garb, with the lamentable re
sult that they have had to give
place to men of radical views or
of no views at all, but who can
write entertainingly.
There is no opportunity for ex
pression of opinion at Nebraska at is
had at McGilL The Daily Nebras
ka n is primarily a newspaper, and
it policy in the pair has been to
confine its contents to news stories
and editorials. The Awgwan is a
hash of three-line jokes. Other pub
lications are technical, and for the
members of the different college
alone. The question is whether such
a thing as a literary supplement or
magazine of some kind is desirable.
Eefore making a decision on a
matter of this kind, it is necessary to
discover first the principles which
govern a University training in or
der to determine whether such a pub
lication is a contribution to educa
tion. The general opinion is that an
education should in theory, at least j
teach students bow to think for
t hems! res; it should make their
livee fuller and richer. The virtue of
university training; lies not in the en
tyc!cpexi knowledge of specific!
facts acquired, but in ncstal disci-j
fline, acquisition of an appreciation
of the art an appreciation which
will make life a better thing.
The pertlcmlar virtue of such sn
Aryan as the UrCJl literary supple
isent it that it makes the student
ez;rts tieir own opinions. It is BTo
!!
flaccid review of classroom work, bnt
an array of opinions which are pub
lished because they are Interestingly
put. Such a publication ia not only
interesting to read, but it also trains
students in the ability of forming
and expressing their own theories.
The material would have to be sup
plied by the students themselves, and
the peculiar am immeasurable joy
of seeing one' own composition in
print would supply the necessary
stimulus.
If such a publication existed, some
students, at least, would form and
express an opinion; they would bo
fulfilling one of the purposes of the
instituUon training in thinking. For jed is not radical, although i ia vaunt
the great majority whowould not ed as such, yet it has potentialities
write, even for them there ia some-
thing to be got in the way of stim
ulus. Not only do they face the ne
cessity of making a decision on each
article they read, but as they look
over such a publication, they will not
be able to keep from getting some
kind of appreciation, however slight,
for what James Hunekler called the
Seven Arts. The printing of some
sort of paper such as the Mcuill
literary supplement would promote
the purposes of the university in its
attempt to educate students.
Student Opinion
Tba Daily Nebraskan assumes bo
responsibility for tho sentiments ex
pressed by correspondents, and
serves tho right to exclude any com
munication whoso publication may
for any reason seem undesirable.
Except by special urransemenU,
communications cannot bo published
anonymously.
To the Editor:
The position taken by Jeremy in
his letter, which is aptly directed
against one of the most useless or
ganizations on the campus, not ex
cepting literary societies, is highly
commendable. He is right; we must
ot allow our institution to become
undermined by vilely socialistic doc
trines. Our customs have, for the
most part, been established for not
much less than fifty years. Fifty
If
years ia a reasonable age for cus
toms, however much they might be
scorned as infants by some of the
Eastern colleges. Such venerable and
useful customs .we cannot allow to
be overthrown by any Bolshevistlc-ally-minded
upstart who enters the
University and attempts to take all
it can give him, while refusing to
sympathise with its principles.
A university society without dig
nity is unthinkable. All our socie
ties Palladian, Innocents, etc.
have a certain dignity about them
which is fostered and approved of
by the University officials. Then,
too, while the organisation mntion-
of radicalism. Though it may not be
radical at the present date, yet at
some time in the future it may be
come so, and to eliminate this dan
gerous possibility it should be at
once suppressed.' It is the avowed
intention, I understand, of the mem
bers to think. Thinking, in their
notion, means stirring up riots, revo
lutions, and civil wars. The Uni
versity has engaged several times in
the past in commendable efforts to
prevent students thinking, and had
succeeded pretty well until this scur
vy society appeared, with the prin
cipal campus radicals in its train, as
it were,
The disappointing interview which
Jeremy's special reporter had with
the radical (or "original") member
merely shows that the members of
this strange secret society are clever.
He succeeded in disarming the sus
picions of the reporter as to his
originality, well knowing that if
signs of originality were discovered
by the authorities, they would
promptly be suppressed. He threw
the investigator totally off the scent
by giving the impression that he was
stupid, and not a bit radical. As to
the disappointing Socialist: while he
admitted, it is said, that if he had
fifty thousand dollars he would be a
Republican, yet he has not the fifty
thousand. That much is obvious.
Hence be is at present a Socialist,
and being a Socialist rather than a
good Republican, he is not in sympa
ed
not
thy with the ideals of the school. The

main aim of the University is to
train business men, and a Socialist
will not be a business man. Hence
the University is wasting its time and
money in attempting to cultivate
such people.
School spirit and loyalty are ex
pected of everyone, and these mon
be
ocular freaks do not give either. It
the
is my opinion that they should be
suppressed.
