Vette jClreulation Manager The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. will soon be preparing the "N" book for next year. The editors of the "N" book last year were both un fair and biased. It is appropriate, therefore, that The Nebraskan of fer timely and fatherly advice appreciating the fact, of course, tha like much fatherly advice, this is unrequestcd and possibly un welcome. Last time, the "N" book contained a "Nebraska Girl's Creed" whirh advertised the virtues of Cornhuskcr womankind, but nothing was done for Cornhuskcr mankind. Could anything he more unfair? The women's creed was such a sublime expression of noble sentiments, that the men are, or our;ht to be, very, very jeal ous. i Fear that they have forgotten to be jealous, however, prompts us to print part of the creed again. In ad dition to other splendid assertions of determination to live a better and finer life, the creed contains these: "I believe that rouge and powder should never be applied in public. "I believe that a University girl's conversation should be intelligent and clean, and should not consist largely of a discussion of men and clothes. "I believe that satin pumps, lace stockings, feather hats, silk or velvet dresses, high heels, net or georgette blouses are not appropriate for school. "I believe that Health is of rri mrv importance in one's life, and ir. nne should therefore seriously consider and care for it, by taking -eight hours of sleep each night.... with no eating between meals Etc., etc., etc., etc. nm alien thnt thev interfere with the proper work of the college and re- iinWcrAduiite life. The the activities themselves or with the students who participate in them. We point to in the hope that someone may find a solution for the difficulties present ed. Our solution Is merely an ap peal for moderation and sanity. Fratenities and sororities are valu able as housing facilities. They are not valuable as contributors to tne intellectual life of the institution hecause of the diversity of their members' interest and backgrounds. Since social life and life in athletics and activities are about the only thing their members have in common, fraternities only intensify such inter ests and contribute to thenr over balanced position. Members of fra ternities more often than not fail to find brotherhood, fail to make last ing friendships, fail to perpetuate their ideals and standards. It cannot be said that the fraternity promotes an acceptable social life; too often the fraternity becomes the place for concentrated laxity of standards, false moral and social ideas, and un thinking conformity to convention. of dress, interest in the superficiali ties, and admiration for the material things of life. Whatever the influ ences are, the fraternity tends to turn out members who look alike. dress alike, do not think for them selves, have the "get by" attitude in school and the "get-ncn-quichr their means and, in sums, are not college graduates educated men and PO""" L ' .

Many "ways out" are being suggested in cluding: student or alumni coaches, limitation of crowds to students and alumni, permitting players to play only one year, no inter-sectional games, only four or five games each season, no spring practice, two-hours-a-day practice during a limited seasonal period, no scouting, no chcei leaders, and so on. Some of these iv.;ne will anve football from be- nmino rnmmorcialized. As for a V letics in general, all students, not stars only, should have time ana ia- iiitiea to participate. They should piny for the pleasure and physical henefit of the game, rather tnan ior the grind of winning for newspaper glory, alumni satisfaction, or uni versity advertising. Repression of student criticism has been felt here, and it is to be rnorPtted. The fact of these arti cles may be argument to the con trary, yet the student press and the various forums and clubs nave at times felt that free discussion nnu criticism has prejudiced their stand ing. It is not to be expected tnat undergraduates will always be sound and sane in their thinking, but self-expression is precious. Criti cism should be met on an inteuect .,nl plane.

Edward Morrow, editor of the Aw- gwan and a former Nebraskan editor, expressed regret that the authoress had not included more clever lines, hut said that the theme of it should both arouse and interest all persons who have come in contact with tne Greek fraternity system.

College Press BIRDS OF A FEATHER The Daily Kansan. In all our social system there is no more mistaken idea than our tenden cy to classify and generalize into de finite classes with a set personality.

We recognize no var iations; if one is wrong the entire all it is the man tbat counts regard Now, isn't that fine? But finer still, is the way the girls live up to it. There are never more coeds eating between meals than the Silver Mocn and two or three other such joints can serve. And who ever heard of a Nebraska girl talking about men or clothes, unless they were shieks or new styles? Why, the very idea is preposterous! The men sure ought to be jeal ous. Sr. hm sinro-est that the "N" book publish something like this as a Ne braska man's creed: "I believe that exercise is the most vital part of life, and therefore promise to sit in the cheering-section at everv football game. Whacha say, gang? "Knowinsr that women are inca pable of deciding for themselves as to when it is time to go home, J shill always take my date home be fore 12 o'clock nor shall I sing 'We won't be home until morning!' even though the dean s dead-line is 12:30. "I do not believe in smoking, but have heard that chewing tobacco is eood for the teeth. "I believe that all men should wear sock-spporters. If they bind the leg, wear them around the neck." Etc., etc., etc., etc. do not deserve attention. Many are devoted to the promotion of super ficial friendships (rather, acquaint anceships), petty undergraduate policies, and "handshaking." Oth ers, claiming to be honoraries, are "friendship" societies or handmaid ens for the athletic department; and as such are objectionable mainley be cause they sail under false colors If this is done, the new students will eain an accurate picture of Uni versity life as it is in the land of the free. They will know what to expect when they attend their first class. He (or she) will know that all of the eirls will have on cotton stock ings, will spend their spare time whis- rjerinir about the disarmament con. ference, vill have shiny noses and eyes which indicate too much sleep and will "talk Nebraska, think Ne braska. and live Nebraska.". He (or she) will know that all of the men will say "Gee, I hope the gang wins tomorrer!"; will remove their bats and bend low every time thev see a co-ed whom they met at a party two years ago; and will sing collegiate ditties (like "The t'nson er's Song"). Thus, the University will :g-ow bigger and better. Think it over fel low Cornhuskers, and if you have contributions which should be in eluded in this creed the big idea be- inir to embody in it the best of stu dent thought and tradition submit tl.em to the editors of the "N" book. Piease don't send them to us; we've urply got to get some sleep. ll.c snnouncement that tho Inter alysis of some features of the situ ation here will have to be claimed by the present writer. He writes, therefore, as one student, entitieo to print his views only because foi some time he has been interested in the salvation of the arts college and because he has been foolish enough to want to put his opinions on pa per. Need he apologize further? sity Players' performance of "The Red Cockatoo reveals a spirit of open-mindedness and intelligence, such as Mr. Orr's article today would not cause one to expect from the Greeks. As The Nebraskan has said of other things, the Interfraternity ban quet is "a good thing." We urge our readers to attend both the ban quet and the show. If one spoonful of medicine is a good thing, two spoonsful ought to be twice as good. Ask your doctor. The grand secretary of Sigma Phi Epsilon, in a letter published on the first page this morning, declares: "I maintain that if a man is pledged to a group of a particular class and gets closely acquainted with the men in that btoud he can live as happily there as in any other group of the same class." If our corespondent were speaking of girls instead of men, we would wire him a special invitation to see The Red Cockatoo" and reserve box seats for him. "The Red Cockatoo" Draws Great Interest (Continued from Page One.) alumni, or at least those interested in maintaining the fraternity system in status quo, are wise, they will take drastic steps to prevent members 01 their organizations from attending the play," declared Marion E. Stan ley, of The Lincoln Star. "At all pvents those who believe that pres ent conditions in the caste are the best possible will do well to befog the true potent of the production and cloak its wicked thrusts under the as- less of pin or Greek letters appended to his name. We accept what we are told with out question. It wa told us by an instructor, and instructors are al ways right. We forget that tney are human beings, and subject to human weaknesses. They too may be generalizing even as we are. As long as we continue to use such words ar "radical," "pacifist," "Greek" and "Barb," with no thought as to the individuals in the class, so long will we fall short of the high In education and in life. v . - i" .

REYIYE OLD-FASHIONED PLAYS "FaabtoB," Depicting New York Life In 1845 Presented at Grinnell (By New Student Service) "Fashion," a play depicting life in New York in 1845, was recently at Grinnell College, Iowa. Like the revival this year of "East Lynne," by the Providoncetown Players of New York, the aim of this production was to laugh at our unso phisticated forefathers by producing a play that once moved them to tears. According to the student reviewer the play went over big. The pur suing villain, a "Uriah Hcep and Si mon Legree rolled into one", twirled hia black mustache.
