KILL THE UMPIRE!
Before the Washington team ar
rived last Saturday the town, and
particularly that part of it around
the University campus, wag covered
with placards reading; "Huskers Wel
come Huskies." When the Huskies there are now and there have been
arrived they were met at the train many students who have refused to
Considered calmly, and without
the glamour that ordinarily sur
rounds it, the fraternity has many
disadvantages as well as advantages
It means a constant demand on time,
often a limiting of the circle of
friends, and in many cases a subor
dinating of the individuality.
In his social advantages only
does the fraternity member have an
advantage, though he may also gain
some excellent friends in his group.
That many foolishly accept him as
being something superior, gives him
an advantage over the non-fraternity
man a sort of mental hazard.
To wear the badge of some group
means nothing. There are fratern
ity members who lack not only in the
social graces but in intelligence and
most of the other desirable attri
butes. There are non-fraternity
men who are more polished, more
intelligent and infinitely better men
in every way than most fraternity
members.
What are the usual qualifications
for fraternity men? First, the abil
ity to shake hands well; second, to
be a reasonably good fellow. Other
things, such as money or athletic
ability often enter into the matter
but these are less important.
One girl that we know in this uni
versity has had a plain pin not a
sorority pin jeweled and made to
look as much like a sorority pin as
possible. That girl is silly; she suf
fers from an inferiority complex.
She might have remembered that
false sense of security, ne knows
that a failure in a course will not be
disastrous aiid forgets that it may be
very disagreeable.
This year the records in the admin
istrative offices will again testify as
to the certainty of the sophomore
slump. The single individual can do
very little to avert it but the senior
members of organised groups can
force a certain number of sopho
mores to save themselves. Minne

evening before the game the students

and welcomed the visitors, shouting

a forward pass. The rule states that more of the students, usually no bet-
the player must plainly catch the
ball ; merely touching it and then fall
ing on it does not constitute the com
pletion of a pass. In both cases the
pass was obviously incomplete, yet
the spectators were discourteous
enough to shout epithets at the offi
cials. Courtesy and football etiquette
mean more than decent treatment of
the opposing team. They mean also
some regard for the officials. The
officials at the Nebraska-Washington
game were undoubtedly honest, and
furthermore, they were entirely com
petent. But a number of grand
stand referees gave an erroneous
impresr.cr. ef their stiscl's rpcrtiig
spirit by becoming abusive when the
breaks went against the home team.
For the students, it must be said
that most of the referee-baiting came
from other sections than those occu
pied by students, but the students
were not altogether blameless. Their
conduct will largely influence the
crowd, and a few rowdies in the stu
dent section can get the whole crowd
started.
Their attitude in the crowd, as in
dicated by its treatment of the offi
cials, may seem a small thing, hardly
worthy of comment. But it is not
a small thing it is the difference
between the amateur and profession
al sports. At a baseball game it
may be permissable, though not at
all creditable, to bowl down an um
pire, but in amateur sports such con
duct is disgraceful. It is in genu
ine sportmanship that the whole val
ve of amateur sports lies, and be
cause of its fine spirit that it has
gained its hold on public fancy. i

PINS AND COMPLEVES
At most oniversities there is a
tendency to over-rate the import
ance of a fraternity. There are rtu
dents who come to school mainly to
make a fraternity. There are others
whose purpoKe in coming to school is
to Ct an education, but who feel
that their collegiate career is ruined
unless they join some group.
In some cases this results actually
in the development of an inferiority
complex, as the psycho-analysts
would put it. They feel that to wear
a pin is the hall-mark of superiority,
and they admit on!y shame-facedly
that they are outside the fold.

some to spare. But there is a diffi
culty left in reserve, known as the
sophomore slump, which it a mighty
barrier, and upon which entire or
ganizations come to grief as well as
individuals.
The sophomore slump is particu
larly the difficulty of fraternities
and sororities. The new initiate is
responsible. Stepping from a fear
of low grades and a delayed initia
tion directly into the knowledge that
his grades are above putting and he ,
has become an active member, the
sophomore suddenly becomes worth-1
less or practically so. j
The new initiate af a fraternity de-1
serts the evening study table at his ;
own risk, and his absence certifies ,
a lower scholastic average for the I
fraternity as a whole. The sopho-'
