U HALL AGAIN
In the Student Opinion column to
day appears a letter from Wilbur C.
Peterson, In which our suggestion
made yesterday that U Hall be pre
served unoccupied is vigorously, and
more or less logically, attacked. Mr.
Peterson lists several objections to
the continued use of the building
with which we heartily agree. He
then states that if the building were
allowed to stand unoocupied it would
be a fire menace to the other build
ings on the campus. In that, we also
think, Mr. Peterson is right, but that
the danger is as great as he seems
to think we doubt.
There is, of course, danger from
fire in any building, and U Hall is no
exception. Because of its age and
antiquated construction the fire haz
ard is probably greater than from
most buildings. Mr. Peterson seems
to have scored here.
With his'statment tt.it U Hall is
an eyesoe we disagree altogether.
Perhaps our taste is uncultivated or
decidedly out of tune, but to us U
Hall presents a far more pleasing
picture than do ether buildings on the
campus that are many years younger.
We have no desire to defend in any
particularly vehement manner our
idea that U Hall should be allowed to
stand. It was advanced merely as
an idea, and we said in the editorial
to which Mr. Peterson objected that
anyone else's idea would be welcome.
Mr. Peterson's idea seems to be to
tear the building down and let it go
at that Perhaps he is right.
Chancellor Avery, who advanced
the idea that a bronze replica of the
building be erected, has also asked
for suggestions in a letter to The
Daily Nebraskan. Contributions
will be welcomed.
WRITE YOUR NAME
The editor of The Nebraskan has
again received several contributions
to the Student Opinion column on
which the authorship is not shown.
Following our custom we will refuse
to print these letters unless the writ
ers come to The Nebraskan office
and asume the responsibility for their
opinions.
After some consideration we have
decided to change our policy in one
respect Hereafter no student opin
ion will be printed unles the name,
or al' least the initials to the wirter
are slpmed to it
. The student who is so ashamed of
his opinion as to wish to sign "Vox
Populi" or some other meaningless
pseudonym to his leter need not send
it in. Anonymous letters are prac
tically worthies either to the writer
or the reader.
The signing of the initials, how
ever, does not remove the obligation
to inform the editor of the author
ship and to assure him that the writ
er is serious In his discussion.
Student Opinion
The Daily Nebraskan assumes
no responsibility 'for the senti
ments expressed by correspon
dents, and reserves the right to
x c 1 u d e any communication

reason seem undesirable. Ex

communications cannot be pub
lished anonymously.
To The Editor:

braska is the sentiment which its
alumni holds for it No doubt, sen
timent is a very fine thing for any
one or anything.
But the editr-" of The Daily Neb
raskan has stepped a little beyond
good Judgment in his efforts to main
tain sentiment. He contends that
for sentimental reasons U Hall
should be allowed to stand. "Per
haps it might be possible," he writes,
"to allow the building to stand un
occupied for several years, maintain
ing In its exterior at least something
of a remcbranco of the University's
pioneer days."
Now all of thk; is very fine to write
and to read, but it is far from good
sound judgement
U Hall is in several things detri
mental to the saety of the Univer
sity. First: It is a fire trap. Not
a day goes by but what the Univer
sity runs a big chance in keping the
building open. Should the old struc
ture ever blaze,' hundreds of persons
would be endangered; valuable rec
ords might be lost
You say, let the old building stand
unoccupied. All right! You elim
inate the immediate danger to lives.
But let a fire start in the old U Hall
some nice breezy day and see just
where you would be. The Armory
to the east would be greatly endan
gered, Pharmacy Hall, the Museum,
Nebraska Hall and Mechanics Arts
Hall as well as Brace Laboratory and
the power station all might be taken
in one conflagration, made possible
because a few persons insisted that
for sentimental reasons U Hall
should remain standing.
Second: U Hall is an eye-sore.
It is not beautiful architecturally.
Its curves and corners -are far from
the best in the building construction.
And, despite the statement of the
editor. "It's ivy covered red brick
walls." we have failed to notice any
large amount of ivy on the building.
Third: To allow U Hall to stand
is the poorest sort of judgment.
U Hall, used for classrooms, con
stantly endangers the students, not
only from fire, but from collapse.
U Hall is not strong. Walk up the
steps of the building. You feel as if
thev mieht cave in at any moment.
Is it good judgment to subject the)
students to such dangers?
Sentiment is fine, but when it dis
places good judgment it is the worst
thing possible. There are in Lin
coln, or were, a number of school
buildings around which could be
placed an endles amount of senti
ment. Think, such and such a per
son first started to school there! Or
such and such a person first taught
school there. We should perpetuate
those buildings! We should have our
children go to them! Think of the
fine sentiment!
But, do the people of Lincoln al
low their children to go to .these
schools? No! They insist on safe,
fireproof, buildings. Do you blame
them? No! Yet these same persons
are now trying to perpetuate old U
Hall , They say it is all right for the
University students to be constantly
endangered by the same conditions
they insist that the Lincoln board of
education eradicate.
I ask you: Are you going to let
sentiment continue to endanger the
lives of hundreds of University stu
dents? Are you going to allow sen
timent to endanger the entire phy
sical plant of the University?
W. C. PETERSON.
To The Editor:
Nebraska's poet laureate has been
with us for a few days again and
has gone. He is very generous to
us. He is willing and anxious to
know us better and each time he
comes the sphere of his acquaint
ance widens. It is because he ex
hibits this feeling of friendliness to
ward us that we should stand more
ready to greet him with a friendly
hand clasp. Friendship :s a sort of
wealth. Aren't we showing our
selves rather slow to grasp it?
When a commonwealth recognizes
a man s work to the extent that it
confers upon him such an honor as
n laureateship. it does so thinking
ly. It has both plan and purpose in
mind. Nebraska has done some
thing that other states have not
done, and not without a good reason
We as Nebraskans are in possession
of one of Americas foremost liv
in ar poets. Nominally he is ours
In truth he belongs to all states and
to all times. He is fond of his own
state and comes always more than
half way with his friendliness. Why
we have shown reluctance to recip
rocate is hard to explain. And why
need we try to explain? The thing
to do is to seal more effectively the
bonds of friendship between Nebras
ka University and the poet, John G
Neihardt
It is getting so that it seems un
reasonable that Dr. Neihardt should
need to explain to a University audi
ence just what m is doing now and
proposes to do in the future. Does
n't his eminence in his chosen field
shame us for being ignorant of his
workT Is there any reason why the
poet should be unknown in his own
home?
In a normal school in this state
there is a Neihardt club that makes
it its business to study Neihardt and
learn of him. This club does things
to honor Neihardt such things as
erecting memorial tablets, holding
public gatherings and entertain
ments, and giving publicity to his
works. This club is the first of its
kind and there is no reason why it
sho?ld not have offspring. Why not
a Neihardt Club in the University of
I'. ' r'.'T.a? Is it a shame or a dis
grace that we have no such organiza
tion on now? It is both. Perhaps
it would be better for some of our
present organizations were they to
justify their existence by re-writing
their constitutions and virtually
adopting the constitution of the par
ent Neihardt Club.
A GRAD STUDENT.
To The Editor:
An article in this column the other
day mentioned something about some
girl wearing a pin bejeweled to simu
late a sorority pin, and the writer
dubbed the girl "silly" for so doing.
At first glance, I was inclined to
agree; but upon second thought I
fel the correct word is "pathetic".
'It really is pathetic. There must
have' been a reason for her actions.
The writer insisted that a fraternity
pin signified nothing, and if he is
sincere, he will admit that it does
mean something, or else he will neg
lect to wear his pin henceforth until
he is through school at least.After
graduation it doesn't make quite so
much difference; people get on in the
world a little more according to their
worth. As the author of said arti
cle stated, there are advantages and
disadvantages in belonging to a fra
ternity with perhaps a little more ad
vantage than disadvantage rather a
little more good than bad. However,
one must admit that the campus at
mosphere is distinctly Greek and
non-Greek, and there is something
undesirable in that aura.
Haven't you noticer how anxious
the pledges are to be initiated so
they can wear their pins, and how
often coat fronts are, often uncon
sciously enough, thrust back to dis
play that pin? It seems to me that
the evil is not so much in the fra
ternity as in the wearing of the pin.
It puts a false value on people. You
know that; you've noticed it on the
campus, in the classroom. If one is
not big enough to get ahead without
the push of said pin he doesn't de
serve to get on.
If the Greeks are broad-minded
and leally sincerely democratic, they
will give this serious thought and
do something about it. This is a
democratic country. Crests and coat
of arms belong to the another world.
It is true, there is romcance and
much desirable sentiment in such
insignia, that need not be discarded
entirely; we can't be without senti
ment, but let's see if we can't aban
don frat pins on the campus and wait
until we are through school to wear
these recognition badges.
This is written without prejudice,
but with a sincere desire to get at
the base of an existing campus evil.

T. A. Williams had deposited $5,-

The second annual banquet of the
Cadet Officers association was held
in the Garden room of the Lincoln.
Dean Oscar V. P. Stout acted as the

The fratricidial strife between the
"Comic" and "Law" sections was the

The Faculty Circus was a success
both from the financial point of view
and from the program given. The

filled to see the professors perform
in such a maner. It caused a feel

larger bv 207 than ever before, and
as consequence the class rooms and
laboratories were overcrowded.
A large number of students ar
ranged to see the Crelghton-Ncbraska

ka would have as large a crowd as
ever went away from Lincoln to see
a football game.
The Athletic board met in Dr.
ClaDD's office to transact regular

thing under discussion was in regard
to the adoption of some official de

a badge, pennants and pillow tops.
Since "Cornhusker" was the name as
