er and required to live together, as
would be the case if pledging could
not take place until the second sem
ester, or sophomore year, there would
be more unity and more democracy
in student life.
A University Union building might
help, but unless accompanied by some
change designed to destroy the old
barriers, the evil would still flourish.
A UNIVERSITY UNION
Ellsworth DuTeau, arch enemy of
excessive rcnt-a-Ford rates, in an ad
dross at the World Forum luncheon
last week, raised a few questions
which are more difficult than ''Shall
we walk, Clarice?" -
In preparing his address, Mr. Du
Teau went out in search of evils in
undergraduate life. Of course, he
found a lot of them. Despite their
prevalence, however, so few students
look at them, that we believe it is well
to call attention to Mr. DuTeau's
discoveries.
He observed that the campus is
regarded as a mere place of business,
that congeniality and friendship have
become matters of cliques, that all
University mixers are pretty much
of a farce, that students are isolating
themselves, and that there is no place
on the campus in which students can
meet for purposes other than read
ing textbooks or eating.
"Is a Nebraska man a Nebraska
man first and something else after
wards, or something else first and
a .Nebraska man afterwards? he
asked. "Is the social life here a fra
ternity and sorority life?"
The speaker's other argument for
a Union is valid and of more im
mediate concern. His assertions that
there is no meeting plnce on the cam
pus are entirely justified so far as
men students are concerned. The
women, of course, have Ellen Smith
Hall; and we are told that a very
large proportion of the undergradu
ate women avail themselves of the
opportunities which it presents.
If some similar center for men
students of the University could be
created, a genuine need would be
satisfied. The Silver Moon and the
library, as has been said, are very
poor substitutes. The University Y.
M. C. A. rooms are rather barren,
uninviting, and cheerless. The main
reading room is valuable primarily
because it relieves the congestion
lsrwherc but students do not go
there to read and talk, they merely
study there.
As evidence of the need for some
meeting place, the manner in which
students of the ancient language de
partment are congregating at the
Methodist church house was cited.
Since University Hall was closed, the ;
department has been forced to main-
tain its headquarters in that home,
and students are availing themselves
of the opportunity its comfortable
rooms present to meet there for con
versation and discussion of class
work. Doubtless students of all de
partments would both enjoy and
profit by opportunities of this sort.
In the discussion following the
Forum address, the secretary of the
University Y. M. C. A. pointed out
that some steps might be taken to
ward enlarging and improving facili
ties in The Temple in order that a
Union might be formed among men
necessary to make the book a success.
"Famous Observations," was the
subject of an illustrated talk given
by Professor G. D. Swexsey. The
Observatory which was built on the
island of Hven by the king of Den
mark, was the first building to be
shown.
Chancellor Avery left Lincoln to
attend the meeting of the Missouri
Valley Conference Schools to bb held
at St. Louis. The Chancellor bought
the business short enough to be able
to return within twenty-four hours.
Twenty Years Ago
In spjte of a severe storm, a large
crowd of students went to hear the
Nashville delegates report on the
Student Volunteer Convention. The
delegation was on the platform and
Mr. White presided at the meeting
Convocation was turned over to
the engineering students and the
chapel was crowded with those inter
ested in a stereopticon lecture given
bv Mr. A. G. Wessling .on "The
Graduate Apprenticeship Course uf
the Allis -Chalmers Company." He
was assistant-engineer at the Bullock
plant of the company.
Professor P. H. Frye had an arti
cle in the March issue of the "Book
man" entitled "Some Recent Verse".
In this he criticized recent verse and
he had several examples to illustrate
! his various statements.
There was considerable comment
in regard to the promiscous way in
which students lift the chairs turned
up in the general library. It was
suggested that more consideration
be shown for all fellow-students.

Such questions cannot be answer
ed off-hand, but a majority at least
of Nebraska undergraduates would
lean very strongly toward an affirm
ative answer to the latter question.
Mr. DuTeau assumed that they
would, and went on to argue that
Nebraska is different in this respect
from many other large universities.
One of the reasons for this peculiar
situation, he believes, is the absence
of a University Union building.
"The campus is our place of busi
ness, not our rendezvous," he stated,
"and while we are here we do not
have a single place to meet each other
in a real social way. The Silver
Moon is a place of business and is
frequented by a certain class of stu
dents. The library is not a nlaee
where students can gather socially.
It is repressive and of necessity so.
so much for the need of a meet
ing place. But what about the spirit
of unity which he found lacking?
The investigator tells us: "No frater
nity or sorority members would say
that they feel superior to the group
known as the barbs. But we are
constantly drawing the net closer
that is eliminating the barbs from SO'
cial life. Must the people who are
independent of any organization
think that they are only a part of
the scholastic life of their college?
Do we not need something to show
them that they are a part of the
social Etruc-ture as well?"
You can readily see that two dis
tinct arguments in behalf of a Uni
versity building have been set forth
in the preceding paragraphs. The
first is that it would provide a om
mon meeting place, and the second
that it would promote unity and i
democratic spirit.
The latter aim is indeed admirable
ui ine j any .Nebraskan does not
have much confidence in bricks and
mortar as material for building a
democratic spirit. A University Un
ion building might help, but how
would the mere addition of another
edifice to the campus eliminate the
social barriers which fraternities and
soronties have net up?
This is rot the kind of a problem
that can be solved by architects.
The clear statement of the condition
which Mr. DuTeau discovered may do
much to force students to realize the
Iact but a University Union build
ing ia not the answer to this question.
If one would create a democratic
spirit, why not begin by tearing down
the social lines which are fatal to it?
If the so;Lsl life of the University
is becoming an exclusive fraternity
and sorority affair, and if this is con
trary to the best interest of the
school, we should not seek to eradi
cate the evil by erecting buildings,
but by reforming the fraternity sys
tem. There are many indications that
tiie time of such reform is fast ap
proaching. Establishment of. a sys
of second-sem-ster or epeboroore

" over-ernphatis on fraternity m?m-

attitude toward their campus than

The need for more classrooms, a
library building, dormitories, and
other structures on the campus is so
great and pressing, that it must be
relieved before any proposal for a
new Union building could be ad
vanced with hope of success. If
something could be done at The
Temple in the meantime, why wait?

One dream
come true
FOR the man whose Castles in Spain are
built in the laboratory, here is the promise
of r dream come true.
In communication research, men have seen
a thousand great visions in little test tubes,
hundreds of new thoughts reflected in the
mirrors of galvanometers.
A life-time of this work is waiting for the
man who loves it, and under conditions that
he has always longed for. A wealth of appa
ratus and materials,.an abundance of knotty
problems, a group of associates w ho are help
ing in the great work these are a natural
part of this far-reaching industry.
Hie requirements of communication call for
deeper, ever dex-per inquiry, and not only along
electrical lines but in chemistry and mechanics
as well all science contributing the stuff of
which the researcher's dream is woven.
