In all cases the editor must know the identity of the contributor. No communications will be publish ed anonymously, but by special, arrangement initials only may be signed. To the Editor: In the Sunday Daily Nebraskan you were guilty of violating the first rule of journalism accuracy. In your editorial, "What Might Be," you said a lot of things that were not so, particularly, your statement, "It has been shown that while one of four non-fraternity n.en who enter the University graduates; only one of sixteen fraternity men does." Now, Mr. Editor, you are all wrong in that statement, I believe. Monday morning I went through the senior section of the 1925 Corn- husker and made a survey of the number of fraternity and non-frater nity men listed there. The results I found to be: Fraternity men 149 Non-fraternity men 130 Professional fraternity men 32 Total ..311 Therefore, out of the total num ber of men listed in the senior sec tion, practically all of whom have secured their degrees, nearly 48 per cent were members of social fraterni ties and an additional 10 per cent were members of professional fra ternities. In listing the members of pro fessional fraternities, I took only those members of professional or ganisations maintaining; houses. These men therefore are commonly known as fraternity men. I listed members of professional fraternities only when they belonged to no social fraternity. It seems, Mr. Editor, that you have made a very bad error, when you I made the above statement. Instead of the majority of graduates at Ne braska being non-fraternity men the majority are fraternity men. Now let us survey the porportion of freshmen who are fraternity men. In 1921-22, there were s total of 1237 men listed in the University catalog as "first year students" in the various colleges. The number of fraternities maintaining houses that year was eight less than the number maintaining houses now. There were, I believe, less than twenty-five fraternities on the cam pus that year. That means that less than '400 of those more than 1200 freshmen . were pledged ;to frater nities; about one-third. The 311 men who secured their de grees last year, for the most part, were of the 1237 who entered in 1921. We will assume that approxi mately 400 of these 1237 became members of fraternities. Then the proportion of non-fraternity men who entered the University in 1921 and secured their degrees in 1925 is 10.5 per cent; the percentage of so cial fraternity men, 11.7; and the percentage of all fraternity men (members of social and professional fraternities maintaining houses), For this one year then, wherein lies the weakness of my survey, it being but for one year, the percent age of graduates who were not fra ternity men was considerably higher than the percentage who were not fraternity men. These figures, which are but for one generation of students, indicate that one in six or seven non-frattr- nity men secures a degree, while one Other Opinions in two er three fraternity men se cures a degree. The same condition might be reversed in other years, but it does not seem reasonable that it would be as much of an exception as would appear from your figures in dicating that one in four non-fraternity men are graduated, while one !n sixteen fraternity men are gradu For Sfucy Abroad of the people to whom fellowships are elected, subject to the ratification by the Board of Trustees. Those people who will be selected shall show unusual attainment in ad vanced work, or, exceptional apti tude for research; or the person must show and demonstrate unusual ability in one of the fine arts. After the first year of the organi zation of the Memorial foundation it is hoped to have forty or fifty fellowships a year. The usual -stipend will be $2500 for a year. In some cases, where the work of re search would require longer the fund is increased. The Board of Trustees will also give an amount of money for a shorter period of time. Appli cation for the 1927 and 1028 awards should bo made in the person's own handwriting before January 1, 1927, stating the subject in which they are interested.

Application forms will ba mailed on request. ated. I have an idea where you secured your information. There is a fra ternity at Nebraska that has gradu ated but one of sixteen of its mem bers during the last few years. But, you can conclude nothing from that isolated case. In my own fraternity seventeen men have secured degrees in the last two years; an equal num ber are practically certain of secur ing degrees in the next two years. We conclude then that of about sixty men who have been pledged to my fraternity in four years, more than half will secure degrees. But we do not have to use the case of one fra ternity to prove the eorror of youij statement which is based, I feel cer tain, on a single case. I'll admit, Mr. Editor, that I have taken the figures for but one year in attempting to refute your statement, and that conclusions drawn from them may or may not be true. Yet, it does show a fair amount of ae curacy, and very definitely indicates that at Nebraska at least, the pro portion of fraternity men who se cure degrees is greater than you hava indicated. Such a condition may or may not be true at other institutions, but we are all interested in the situ ation at Nebraska, not at Iowa, Mich igan, Wisconsin, Columbia, or some other school. I do not intend to argue with you as to the merits of being a fraternity man ; nor will I attempt to defend the fraternity system as it. now stands. Personally, I believe the system at Nebraska is commendable, although like most things, it can be greatly improved. The scholarship of the fraternity men can be bettered, yet the same is true of the nonrfraternity man. In conclusion, allow me to take exception to your last paragraph; in part: "The fraternity system, as it exists at Nebraska today, is a fail ure. It has lost sight of its ideals and substituted for them cheap cyni cisms and childish scholarship. Brotherhood exists chiefly by acci dent" The fraternity system at Nebraska is not a failure. On the contrary, I believe, it is commendable. Ne braska fraternities as a rule are not for the exceedingly wealthy. The most of the fraternity men at Ne braska come from families of aver age means; the vast majority of them must earn at least a part of their school expenses; many make every cent. Brotherhood exists, and not by accident. . True there are troubles within each fraternity, but what or ganization does not have troubles? The beauty of it is that forty men can live together four years without having a battle that would disrupt their entire organization. You may be sure, Mr. Editor, that when a man has lived four years in a frater nity house, he has learned one mighty fine lesson. The lesson of how to get along with men, and how to meet and size up men. Your criticism of fraternities at Nebraska, dealing as it does with generalities, will receive small at tention. I agree with you that sophomore pledging would be a treat improvement. But that is just your point of view and mine. As a whole, fraternities do pretty well. They keep out of scrapes, they support in a bodjj worthwhile activities, and they honestly try to help their fresh men develop into better men. I be lieve that if any improvement is to be instituted, it must come from the fraternity men themselves. Outside persons can do little to improve the situation, mostly because 'non-fraternity people do not, cannot and will not understand the problems of the fraternities. A FRATERNITY KAN (W. P.)

Tho Alumnus pointed out that any student may secure advise from the professors at any time. That the world needs college men was discussed. "The world needs them because of what they should be able to do with the things for which those decrees stand; But, the world will not create a place for these graduates; they must create their own place; they must "seek and find" their "own salvation." When he has his realism and practice and puts them with his idealism and his theory he will be able to count him self well prepared to meet the world and its problems." The Nebraska Alumnus reply con cludes with, "It is very probable that the author of the letter was greatly shocked to find how little notice the world took of him; to find that his presence in the world at large was felt Infinitely less than might have been the case during his student days. Ho has failed to understand that he is now starting the great game of life; that he is in competition with hundreds of thousands of other young men and young women who were graduated from the Universities and colleges at the same time that he was. He does not seem to realize that he must show his work to be greater than that of the man next to him before he can forge ahead. Although he seems to think that the world should come to him seeking his services, the truth is that he must go to the world seeking a position. He must learn that there is no man so valuable but that there is another man who can take his place and can do his work as well or better than he." The New York World replied to Mr. Maun in an edtiorial, a part of which read, "Is he an unusual case? Not at all. Ho is quite right in de claring that college wasted four years of his life. College is not for him. College is not for the thousands like him who crowd our dormitories every year and clamor for courses that deans blush to include in the catalog. What is to be done about it? Possibly if the letter of the Nebraska graduate were sent to prospective freshmen, the go-getters might stay away and the academic groves . might retain some of their old-time serenity." GIVE CREDITS FOR ACTIVITIES WORK Many College Reward Student for Time Spent in Journalistic And Debate Work (The New Student Service) What is the value of extra-cur ricular work? Infinite energy goes into student activity newspapers, magazines, are published, plays pro duced, orators sent to' the far corners of the earth to debate with other students, all this and more is done by students in their spare moments. At some Universities the authori ties have placed academic valuations on these spontaneous activities, others are flirting with the idea. Ohio State University gives credit for debate work. Oberlin College does the same. Vassar is considering the plan of giving credit in Dramatic Club work. The Miscellaney News suggests that the plan be carried further. "If directing a play to have credit in dramatic production, and the painting of scenery in art, why should not the political science de partment give credit to the officers of the political association, or the economics department to the presi dent of L. I. D. Debating would then count toward a course in English speech." A survey conducted by the Old Gold and Black of Wake Forest Col lege, N. C, to determine whether academic credit is given for jour nalistic work resulted in the discov ery that the practice is common in "most colleges and universities." What! date and do car?
