OUR DEMOCRACY
We talk a great deal about de
mocracy; we have innumerable meet
ings to promote this virtue; but how
many practice it? There is a tend
ency on the part of the students to
make only those friendships that are
accidental, with no genuine effort
to increase the circle of friends.
Few realize how many interesting
people there are on the campus. Few
are willing to accept friendly ad
vances. But we prate of democracy.
Underclassmen are particularly
obsessed with his idea of exclusive
ness, of their own superiority. They
think it is good form to be seen with
seme people and they refrain from
associating with others because of
some idea that it just isn't done.
These students form the "well-dressed
mob," the students whose only
interests in life are football, dates,
parties, and, to a lesser extent, "get
ting by" in their studies. They hesi
tate to date some girls because the
other members of their crowd do not
They pass up actual worth for sham
values. The "hand shaker," though
he may seem democratic is in this
class, for he is affable for selfish
reasons only. The "good fellow,"
who says hello to everybody, is not
necessarily democratic; he may have
absolutely no interest in most of
those to whom he speaks.
Fraternities often discourage de
mocracy, in spite of the orations
made on Monday nights by some of
the brothers in which they exhort
the others to "get around and get
acquainted." Fraternities often
frown upon too close association by
members with persons outside the
group. They feel hurt if some mem
ber finds friends outside the organi
sation. They demand almost all of
the time of the members for each
other. Freshmen are frequently rep
rimanded for their failure to "be
around the house more."
By democracy we do hot mean the
mere gaining of acquaintances. That
is futile. We mean the formation of
genuine friendships, not necessarily
with a large group. A readiness to
become friends is the first requisite.
The democratic student judges peo
ple by actual worth, not by clothes,
or the organization to which they
belong. Let us remember, when we
talk of democracy, to think less of
the outward manifestations and to
get down to something deeper.
OF TRADITIONS
We see that the Freshman Barbe
cue has been labeled by someone,
perhaps a Nebraskan reporter or per
haps by someone in charge, as a
"tradition." Now the barbecue is
doubtless an excellent thing; it pro
vides some form of entertainment for
the first year men and gives them a
feeling that they are a part of the
school. But it is not a tradition, and
we hope to impress upon the Neb
raskan reporters 8nd upon all others
this fact. As we recall it, we attend
ed the first barbecue three or four
years ago.
We at Nebraska, being rather des
titute of traditions, have been prone
to dignify almost any passing cus-

torn with that title. To ft student in
an older university, where the tradi
tions did not become traditions until
they had existed half a century or
more, this would be rather amusing
We do have come near-traditions, Ivy
Day being; the chief one. Even that
is somewhat artificial, having been
imported from other schools.
The weakness of the Amencar stu
dent tn (-rente traditions overnight is
illustrated by a story, perhaps true,
that we heard recently. At some uni
versity a sign was put up stating: "It
is a tradition at this university that
onlv seniors may use this walk. The
tradition goes into effect Monday."
THE TEACHER'S MEETING
Meetina-s of teachers of District
1 of the Nebraska State Teachers
Association are now being held in
Lincoln. Many of the teachers here
for the convention are graduates of
this university and will visit the cam
pus. Students will do well to show
them any courtesy if the opportunity
is offered.

Basket ball has now received more !
attention, now that the season has
advanced. Both Varsity and Fresh

The presentation of such a play as

The German Dramatic Club held
its first homecoming of former mem
bers. Thev went to Union Hall,
where they entertained the unions
with a program. It was asid that no
other club in the University enjoyed
the same loyalty of its active mem
bers as the German Dramatic Club.
Twenty Years Ago
In a sea of mud and water, Neb
raska went over the Ames goal for
four touchdowns in last Saturday's
game. Ames brought with her the
largest excursion of students that
ever came to this city from a vis
iting school. Nebraska was given
plenty of competition with their root
ing squad, as well as the football
team. The crowd was the largest
considering the weather. ,
The girls at the Nebraska dormi
tories celebrated Halloween. There
was a program and refreshments
served.
