THE R STREET NUISANCE
Any one who has a class in a room
on the west side of the Social Science
building is aware that the proximity
of R street does not create that at
mosphere of academic quiet which
it is customary to associate with a
college campus.
Not only is there the usual amount
of traffic along this street but there
is also a great deal .of noise made by
persons who have parked cars there
and who drive them away while
classes are in session. With this con
fusion the lecturer is compelled to
compete. The noise is frequently so
great that he must stop talking until
it has subsided.
There are two means by which this
problem might be met. One would
be to prohibit parking on R street, or
at least, on that part of it near So
cial Science building. This would do
away with the noise caused by the
starting of cars. The other, and more
drastic, step would be to bar all traf
fic from that part of the street which
lies within the bounds of the campus.
Some one with authority should
investigate the feasibility of these
proposals. As affairs now stand
classes in the west rooms Of the So
cial Science building are trying to
both students and professors.
NOTES ON CLASS HONORARIES
The Daily Nebraskan extends its
congratulations to the sixty new
members of the Iron Sphinx who
have paid their ten dollars and who
will make, next autumn, a contribu
tion to the work of the University
by bullying the freshmen into a unan
imous support of the green cap idea.
w
It has been called to our attention
that the president of the Innocents
justifies the existence of the Iron
Sphinx on the grounds that they as
sisted in staging a torch-light parade
and enforced the green cap tradition.
This confusion of athletics and acti
vities with education is not one which
is found in his mind alone. It is a
rather prevalent misconception.
He also says that there is no "gen
eral dissatisfaction with honorarics
among the students. With this we
agree. It should be pointed out,
however, that this is themost tragic
aspect of the whole affair.
Valkyrie should be commended for
being one of the few honest class or
ganizations. It does not describe it
self as "honorary." It is content to
be purely social and to bo known as
"an organization of senior women."
The women, so we hear, are search
ing deeply for a system of logic by
which it would be possible to place
their organizations on at least a
semblance of a solid foundation,
Here again they are to be compli
mented for we have heard of no such
research among the men.
Twenty Years Ago
The girls' basketball team defeat
ed tho Omaha Y. W. C. A. by a score
of 27 to 14 and closed its most suc
cessful season. One of the members
of the nuintct scored nine free
throws out of ten chances.
The freshmen and sophomores
staged a battle at Convocation which
rivalled any class scrap for the past
five years. It all happened because
a small lamb was tethered outside of
U Hall with tho sign "A Lost Fresh
man" hung on it The freshmen
viewed tho exhibit with considerable
disgust and finally the conflict was
provoked. Tho scrap lasted for three'
quarters of an hour and finally some
upperclassmen prevailed on the con
tenders to stop.
The University Debate team was to
meet the Washington University
team thnt night Tho team had un
dcrgone four months of stringent
training and was ready for the invad
ers with "volumes of evidence."
The Varsity gymnastic team re
turned from Chicago after capturing
second place at the Intercollegiate
Gymnastic Meet. Nebraskans also
captured first and third places in the
individual contests.
"The Associated Barbs" met and
nominated their ticket for the Ath
letic Board election which was soon
to come. The "barbs" contended
that they should not only elect the
major number of the Board members
from their own organization but
should also choose tho fraternity
members.
The sophomore baseball team was
defeated by Doane College by a score
of 12 to 11. The game was played in
the midst of a snow storm and the
Nebraska pitcher's fingers were so
frozen that the sophomores lost the
game in the eighth inning after hold
ing the lead up to then.
THE NEW JOURNALISM
Editors of college newspapers in
the East are commenting on vlmt
they are pleased to call "The New
Journalism." This expression is used
to describe the change which has tak
en place in the editorial columns of
tho college newspapers which have
replaced their former "boosting"
spirit with one which is both critical
and independent
The editors of the Amherst Star
dent, in describing the effect this
change in attitude is to have on the
caaapiH, declare:
Confronted by such under
graduate independence the ad-
stmkitrative frown can no longer
have the ferce ef law. Under
taw glare ef erekkss publicity,
faculty a3jKintenta and edn-
poUciea become no

Ten Years Ago
The University Departmental base
ball league season opened when the
Engineers defeated the Laws in a
thrilling though ragged game on Ne
braska field. The Engineers collect
ed a total of eight runs before Sides,
the Law pitcher could retire them.
Domeier, tho slab-man for the Engi
neers was invincible and allowed only
four safe hits. Coach Steihm was
the umpire.
Tervhigh schools of the state par-
icipated in an mter-scholastic live
stock contest at the University Farm.
This contest was the first of its kind
ever held, being largely organized by
Prof. H. J. Gramlich of the Animal
Husbandry Department Oakland,
Fairfield, Pawnee, Blair, Red Cloud,
Tecumseh, York, Wahoo, Crete, Hol-
drcge, and Alma were the high
schools which competed.
The home entertainment of the
University Road Sow was given at
the Temple theater. The program
was arranged in six parts and resem
bled an Orpheum bill. Dick Ruther
ford, . captain of the 191G football
team and Phil Southwich opened the
entertainment with a novelty tumbl
ing and acrobatic act which repre
sented the work of tho Physical De
partment. The last number combined
several of the Kosmet play songs.
Professor R. D. Scott was director
of the show.
At the athletic board meeting it
was decided to add one tennis court to
the athletic grounds. This would give
the large number of tennis candi
dates better facilities for practice for
the Missouri Valley Tournament
which was scheduled in May.
