THE GRIM COMEDY
Once there was a Small Town Boy
whose parents decided that he should
go to college. They bought him a
new trunk and a travelling bag, some
new clothes and a good supply of
heavy underwear, and sent him off
to the college town. When he ar
rived there he was met by slick-looking
young men who carried him off
to a fraternity house. After a seem
ingly endless string of "frat" men
who came up and said "I don't
, believe I've met you. My name's
" he was pledged. He had
some other date cards but these he
disregarded on the assurance of the
new brothers that he was satisfied
where he was.
Finally the time came to register
for his courses and the upperclass
men of Hotsey Totsey Pi called all
the freshmen together to give them
expert advice on courses. "What do
you want to take?" they asked the
Small Town Boy. "Why, I don't
know. I liked history and English
in high school. I thought I'd take a
course under Professor Blank in his
tory, because our history teacher told
me he was very famous." "What,
under old Blank!" cried the upper
classmen. "Why he has the hardest
course in school. You can't take
anything under him or you won't
make your hours." "Well," said the
Small I Town Boy, "maybe that's
right. How about Professor Zipp.
He wrote the English book we used
and I've heard he's very good." But
the upperclassmn replied, "Oh, Zipp's
all right but he gives dull lectures
about poetry and things like that.
You'd better forget him. We'll just
register you for thirteen hours in the
Bizad college. We'll cut out Ec 17
because it's pretty tough. You've
got to make all your hours your first
semester so you can be initiated."
So the Small Town Boy was duly
registered for thirteen hours of pipe
courses in which he was instructed
in the manner of keeping books and
of running a shoe store. Perforce,
he - took a little English, and also
Spanish "because it's easier than any
other language." After the first
year, he was told, these odious
courses could be dropped , and he
could revel in bookkeeping and busi
ness cycles.
The Small Town Boy made his
hours and continued through his
second semester with about the same
schedule. He also learned how to
kid the co-eds and the place to get
rent-a-fords. Philosophy, history,
politics, and literature he shunned
religiously, for he had heard they
were hard. He took enough history
to fulfill his requirement and man
aged to scrape by with a 65. Like
wise with science, where he learned
the names of a few varieties of
plants, but failed to understand the
scientific method or grasp the im
portance of science in modern life.
He cut as many classes as he dared
and studied enough to get by.
The Small Town Boy continued on
until he got a certain degree of cul
ture. But, unfortunately, he was
still a Small Town Boy, though he
now knew the Charleston. For he
knew nothing of the wisdom of the
philosophers; of the ' discoveries of
science, or the beauties of literature
and art.
This is the story of the Small
Town Boy, the grim comedy of the
college graduate.

OKLAHOMA COMPLAINS
Athletic authorities at the Univer
sity of Oklahoma will ask the Ne
braska authorities to make a state
ment regarding the reason for their
refusal to schedule a Nebraska-Oklahoma
game next year. Humors are
current in the Valley, states The
Daily Oklahoman, that the cause of
the break (if such there be) is the
Hendricks-Wilcox eligibility affair.
The Oklahoma school has a right
to know the reason for the break.
If the eligibility of these two men
was not the reason, then Nebraska
is doing Oklahoma an injustice in al
lowing the rumors to continue. If
the scheduling of Oklahoma again
was impracticable because of the
long journey between the schools
Nebraska should say so and clear up
the whole affair. Nebraska has had
a taste of the result of the silent,
treatment in the Notre Dame affair.

never to himself hath said: Am I the
Perfect Date?" and with all due
apoligies for the partial plagiarism.
Now comes a composite picture of
me x eriuct vuiv as uiawn u.v ""-
girls at Western Reserve of Cleve-
land in their answers to a recent
questionnaire. After reading their
mutual definition, however, one is
led to believe that filling the bill
would tax most any angel much less
the college man.
To begin with, a snappy line of
nonsense must be exhibited, followed
by an entertaining "line;" he must
think well of ladies in general and
one lady in particular; should be
somewhat religious; have an inex
haustable fund of healthy slang
ready for instant use and at the same
time ready execution; must neglect
neither himself nor the girl in his
choice of conversation; must be capa
ble of convincing "sweet nothings"
on short notice; should wear elo
quent ties; should never chew gum
in public; should be an all-around
man athletically; must never "crash
the gate" at dances; frown upon
necking;" date up on Sunday; and
promise a success in life.
Like all futuristic pictures of per
fection, the above drawing has its
vulnerable spots probably occasioned
by many humorous answers but
there is food for thought in much
of it. Chewing gum, for example.
Its noise has probably ruined more
than one happy courtship. We won
der if social life at Stanford could
not be conducted in a much smoother
manner if these requirements would
be pasted on the mirror of every
unhappy "queener." Then, dates
would be perfect. Stanford Daily.

Max C. Haber, mechanical engi

Uean Ferguson recently. Mr. Haber f
is cirattsman in the mechanical engi

His work has been along the lines
of locomotive testing, especially in
regard to the back pressure against
which the exhaust of the engine
operates.
Investigate Probation Weeks
COLUMBUS. Investigation of
fraternity initiation probation per
iods by a faculty committee named
by Acting President George W.
Rightmore, of Ohio State Univer
sity, is expected to begin soon. This
action is the result of a protest made
by a professor declaring that several
students in his classes had fallen
asleep and would probably fail in
their work because of the probation
period. Alpha Chi Rho fraternity
has already banned 'horseplay' in
connection with initiation.

"Your students also get a larger
moral tmd social training," he said.
Says Social Life O. K.
"Fraternities and sororities are
peculiar to American universities.
jn tne social life of your colleges,
tudents acquired a training that will1
ke 0f immense value in future
years.
"It is true' that your intellectual
work is not so strenuously develop
ed, but perhaps your colleges bene
bit some in this way also. You are
getting moral, social, and physical
development. Why should young
people be in a hurry? The strenu
ous intellectual activity may come
later."

Ten Years Ago
Governor John Morehead accept
ed the invitation of Professor Fogg
to preside at the Kansas-Nebraska
debate. Judges were difficult to
secure, but the two selected so far
were Prof. Paul Beck of Grinnell,
Iowa, and Judge C. G. Lee, of Ames,
Iowa.
The Catholic Students' Club met,
and in an instructive address Bishop
Tihen dwelt upon the power of re
ligion and the value of righteous
ness. Prof. Louise Pound of the English
Faculty received an autographed
document from the commission for
relief in Belgium expressing "for
the people of Belgium their deep ap
preciation and lasting gratitude."
A large crowd gathered on the Ne
braska athletic field to witness the
championship football ga"me between
the seniors and freshmen. The sen
iors won by a score of 7 to 3.
The all-inclusive "get to know each
other" Christmas party, under the
auspices of the Y,
M. C. A. and the
Y. W. C. A., was planned to be an
enthusiastic affair. The committee
counted on a large crowd, and enter
tainment was to be plentiful.
