A EXPLANATION IN DOLLARS
There is one rather distinctive fen
turc of the class honorary societies
which offers a partial explanation of
why they continue to exist when they
have no purpose and no duties. As
an explanation it is not to be light
ly set aside for it deals with the
hiirhly practical matter of dollars
and cents.
The explanation is, it should be
remarked, one which deals only with
the men's organizations. It has no
bearing on the societies existing
among the women. Since the ex
planation has to do with the amounts
of money paid by those who accept
the rather questionable honor of
membership in one of these . organi
zations, it is not out of place to pub
lish the following list of fees:
Green Goblins ?10
Iron Sphinx S10
Vikings $15,
If these fees were paid into a
treasury from which they never were
recovered they might serve to termi
nate the existence of the organiza
tion rather than prolong it. Men
might hesitate to pay ten or fifteen
dollars for membership. This, how
ever, is not what happens. The can
didate who is initiated and who pays
a fee is able to reimburse himself
the next year. When that timo
comes, he chooses a successor and
pockets the fee which this successor
pays. By this method the members
of Iron Sphinx and the Green Gob
lins succeed in paying nothing for
their membership. They simply lend
the organization five dollars for a
.year and recover the money at the
end of that time.
In the case of the Vikings a plan
similiar in intent but different in
details is used. There the initiate
pays fifteen dollars which is used
to f inanace a dinner dance. Both the
initiate and the man who selected
him attend this party. The latter
pays nothing. "When the initiate
names a successor the next year he
goes to the affair free, thus recover
ing on the investment of fifteen dol
lars he made the year before.
It is easy to see how this fee sys
tem assures the honorary organiza
tion of a fairly long life. Alter a
man has been initiated and finds that
the society is worthless and purpose
less he does not withdraw from it
nor urge its disbandment. There
are economic reasons for not doing
so. If he did he would completely
lose the money ho paid for member
ship. Ho wants the organization to
live so that when time for the annual
initiation comes he will be able to
regain the money which the mem
bership originally cos thim.
That the fees were instituted in the
first place to hold the organizations
together is doubtful, hut such is tho
purpose they now serve. They are a
most ingenious device for prevent
ing the societies from disbanding
which would be the wisest and most
logical course for them to follow.
Until the time comes when some
rroap is -trilling to make a financial
sacrifice so that the campus may en
joy the refreshing sight of a useless
organization disbanding of its own
accord, the- class honoraries will con-
tfnae to exist.
tho Board of Regents which had not
boon onforccd before. Tho organirn
tions which woro to bo checked were:
Tho Daily Nobrnskan, Tho Bluo
Print, tho University Tennis Club
(which was tho only branch of ath
letics not under tho direct control of
tho Athletic Board), tho University
Debating Association, tho Junior and
Senior annual boards, tho Dramatic
Club, and tho four class treasurers.
Dr. Clapp issued n call for project
ivo trackstors to meet and talk over
plans for tho spring season which was
to open up soon. Only two dual
meets wero scheduled but it was
thought that a team might be sent
to Chicago to participate in the con
ference meet
Tho Glee Club returned from nn
extensive and successful spring tour,
Sovcn Nebraska towns wero on tho
schedulo for tho club. Tho members
did not have a leader and were rath
er handicapped at the first appear-
anco but tho trip was described as
"successful in every way."
Student members of the Univer
sity Athletic Board were soon to be
elected.
Ten Years Ago
Announcement was made that the
plans for ,the projected Social Sci
ences building would have to bo de
layed so that the Board of Regents
could determine if the proposed
specifications for the use of space
were correct, was made. The regents
also opened bids on the Agricultural
Engineering building which was then
in nebulous form.
The commandant of cadets peti
tioned the regents to authorize a
building for an artillery company in
connection with the R. O. T. C. here
but it was not known what action
would be taken.
The Daily Nebraskan presented a
petition to the Regents for a single
tax but it was not known whether
it received any consideration or not.
Dr. Paul Harrison, '06, in an ad
dress at Vespers services made an
appeal for student support of mis
sionaries among the Arabs. Mission
aries were especially needed, accord
ing to the address, to aid in raising
the social position of Arabian wo
men.
generation has not takon liberty for
liconso as a unit.
This generation of ours, instead,
has takon freedom to mean irccdom
from tho duty of application. We
havo abused freedom until wo aro
victims of laziness. Wo talk and
danco and cultivate languor, but wo
do not work.
This generation of ours has per
verted freedom as a means of escap
ing obligation. Wo Ignore our duties
and cast adrift our loyalties.
This gen. ration of ours has lost ap
preciation, Wo havo denied ourselves
dulled the polish of sentiment, by not
acknowledging our debt to the homo.
This generation of ours has lost
respect. Bound up in ourselves, wo
respect nothing that transcends us.
This generation of ours has lost
humility. Wo do not recognize our
own insignificance. Wo tako tho
present as ours, instead of preparing
for our hcritago of the future. We
assume tho superman demeanor, to
veil callow minds beneath. ,
This generation of ours is intoler

we shame the tolerant spirit by our
pettiness.
This generation of ours has lost
reverence. We arc blind to tho beau
ties of simplicity and faith. We scorn
tho virtues exalted by our ciders. We
bitterly arraign our elders for their
sincerity. Wo profane beauty, be
cause it cannot always stand the cold
test of reason.
This generation of ours is stereo
typed. We have confused individual
ism with eccentricity. In trying to
be different, we have wandered from
the worthy individualism which is
based on valid conclusions' concern
ing life.
This generation of ours is compla
cently smug. We have lost ambition
and energy. We are fish outside the
water of life.
This generation of ours is coward
We do not face life with cour

under the illusion of forgetting. We
dodge the questions of life. We do
not play square, because we are
afraid to stake ourselves against life.

The Vtr&ity baseball squad won a
one-sided contest from Bellevue Col

The junior play cast presented its
play at the State penitentiary where
was very well received. The play
was to be presented at the old Oliver
theater in a short time and the pres
entation at the penitentiary was for
the purpose of a dress rehearsal for
the cast.
It was suggested that the senior
class of the year devote its surplus
to the erection of an artistic and per
manent nlace for University an
nouncements, thus doing away with
the necessity for the numerous small
bbulletin boards.

THIS GENERATION OF OURS
We are the froth of the post-war
wave. Restraint cast aside, our gen
eration rides the crest of freedom.
But propriety and necessity are about
to break the wave. The fringe of
our eeneration will feel the down
ward sweep into the trough, where
youth best listens.
This generation of ours has been
painted a gin-drinking, thrill seeking
group. As a matter of fact, the pen
nywise novelists have not produced
accurate pictures. They have por
trayed the minority who seek ex
tremes. They have painted us as
carousing with Bacchus and toying
with Venus. But we do none of these
as a generation. The weak among us
have thus fallen victims to" the free
dom brought by the war. But our
