COUNCIL ACT
Power of Interference In Any
Student Organization Is In
Faculty Hand
ANSWER COUNCIL'S CLAIM
All-Univerlty Party Committee Be
(un in 1915 With Faculty Ad
viiorii Heppner in Charge
"Unless the Student Organization
Committee should see fit to change
the present system, Robert llonglnnd,
will bo. considered the chairman of
the All-University Party Committee,"
stated Miss Amanda Heppner, Dean
of Women, and faculty advisor of
the All-University Party Committee,
when informed of the proposed ac
tion of the Student Council.
Tho power to establish, reorgan
ize, or abolish any student organi
zation is entirely vested in the Stu
dent Organization Committee, Miss
Heppner explained. This committee
is composed of faculty members,
chosen with the aim of giving equal
representation to the various colleges
and student organizations.
The personnel of this committee
is: C. C. Engberg, Dean of Men and
chairman of the committee; Miss
Heppner, Dean of Women and secre
tary; Prof. Pool, Chairman of tho
Intcrfraternity Council; Miss Clara
Wilson, Chairman of the Pan-IIel-lcnic
Council; Prof. Barbour; Prof.
Rankin; Prof. Hensflik; and Prof.
Bengston.
"The Student Council does not
have the right to interfere with the
All-University Party Committee,"
Deun Engberg declared when ques
tioned concerning the powers of the
Council, "The Student Organization
Committee has the final authority in
such matters."
Suggests Re-Organiaation Of Groups
A complete reorganization of the
present hectic condition of campus
organizations was suggested by Dean
Engberg wherein many useless groups
would be eliminated and those worthy
of existance would be placed on a
connected uniform basis.
The All-University Party Com
mittee was established on the cam
pus before the Student Council, ac
cording to the records of thp Student
Organization Committee. The com
mittee was selected in l'Jl 5 when the
need for such an organization was
expressed by the student body. Four
faculty members were appointed to
act as advisors for the committee.
Mrs. Arthur Hiltner (then Miss Mary
Graham), Dean of Women, was ap
pointed by the Student Organization
Committee to act as faculty chair
man ajid advisor for the group.
When Miss Heppner became Dean
of Women in 1918 she was selected
to take charge of the party com
mittee. After the committee had
been stabilized and in existance for
two years the four faculty members
discontinued their work and placed
Miss Heppner in sole charge as fa
culty advisor.
Purpose of Committee
The committee has remained the
same and have been active through
out its existance on the campus. It
is selected for a single purpose of
sponsoring parties for the students.
Chairmen of the various committeef
are chosen on the basis of their
freshman work on the committee.
The general chairman is then selected
from the former members of the
party committee. It does not claim
to be an honorary society nor an In
fluential student activity.
The funds received from the par
ties are donated, upon the approval
of the faculty advisor, to the various
student activities and benefits. It
has maintained the Student Council
since its existance, contributed to the
Stadium fund, Glee Club, Student
Loan Benefits, and other groups
Two years ago it enabled the Student
Council to send a representative to
the National Convention of Student
Councils
A tentative Student Council was
first established in 1917 The pur
Pose of such in organization was
clearly defined by C. L. Christenson,
chairman of the first Council, when
he stated, "It is the purpose of the
Student Council to define policies
and to let other organizations txmc
tion in their specialized duties."
When the Student Council sug
gested that it should have some re
Presentation on the party committee
wo years ago the Student Organ
Mtion Committee voted that the All
University Committee should select
two members from the Student Coun
cil. Eloise MacAhan and Ruth Pal
ner were selected as the Student
Council representatives lor the com
in8 year.

VALLEY TEAMS.
IN MEET HERE
Trackstert Will Come For An
nual Valley Intercollegi
ate May 21 and 22
RECORDS ARE IN DANGER
Except For High Jumper, Valley Men
Rank With Bett In Any Meet
In the Country
With tho ton Missouri Valley
schools sending their best track and
field material to Lincoln for the
annual Missouri Valley Intercollegi
ate Mny 21 and 22, the University
of Nebraska will be hosts to what
ought to bo ono of the best inter
collegiate meets of tho year.
The meet is cloned to all except
valley schools but no outsiders are
needed to make the meet ono of the
biggest in tho country. Included in
the valley is much of the classiest
track and field material of the coun
try. With tho exception of the high
jump, every event-should find the
first place winner with iime or dis
tance that would rank with any meet
in the country. The valley is woe
fully weak in high jumpers this year
not having a consistent six footer in
the whole conference. This very
fact, however, bids fair to make it
one of the most contested events on
the whole program.
Five Record Insecure
If the weather is right, five rec
ords are considered as practically
sure of going by the boards and sev
eral others will be endangered. Locke
is expected to set new records in
the WO and 220, Richerson of Mis
souri should raise the present records
in the shot put and discus throw, and
Cox of Oklahoma is expected to shat
ter the javelin record. Besides these,
the pole vault, broad jump, half-mile
and the relays are furnished with
suph keen competition that those
records are none too secure.
The list of pole vaulters include
Owens of Iowa State, winner of the
Valley indoor meet, Carter of Kan
sas Aggies who tied with Lancaster
of Missouri and Wirsig of Nebraska
for first at the Kansas relays. Both
Lancaster and Wirsig will be fight
ing it out again and Rhodes is not
to be ignored. Add to these Potts of
Oklahoma and you probably have
the greatest number of near thirteen
footers ever assembled in one inter
collegiate conference.
Stephen! Good in Broad Jump
Stephens of Nebraska and Lan
caster of Missouri are expected to
lead in the broad jumpers with
Rhodes a likely third. Stephens and
Lancaster have switched back and
forth this year and both are anxious
to carry off first honors in the Val
ley meet.
The half mile will find Van Lan-
ningham of Drake whose time of 1
minute 57.6 seconds Wednesday was
the fastest ever made on the Ne
braska track, Conger of Iowa State
who has beaten Van Lanningham,
Roberts of Nebraska, and others who
present a classy array of talent for
this event.

HOLD MEMORIAL
FOR DR. LEES
Honor Memory of Deceased
Provost Of University
On May 26
WILL DEDICATE TREE
A memorial service in honor of the
late Dr. James T. Lees will be held
on the campus at 11 o'clock Wed
nesday, May 26.
Dr. Lee, who was a member of
the University of Nebraska faculty
for thirty-six years, died February
3, in California. He became con
nected with the University in 1889
and was in charge of the Latin and
later , the Greek departments. In
1919 the board of regents appoint
ed him provost of the university, thus
making him a member of all facul
ties and courses of study. He was a
member of the athletic board, chair
man of the student publication board
and took an active interest in stu
dent affairs.
Chancellor Avery To Preside
The first part of the memorial
program will be held in Memorial
Hall. Chancellor Avery will preside
over a program of addresses and mu
sic. Following this there will be a brief
service southwest of University Hall
to dedicate the tree planted in mem
ory of Dr. Lees, whose ashes will be
buried beneath its branches. Dr. F.
A. Stuff will be in charge.
Although the memorial program
will not be directly a part of the
Cornhusker Round-up it has been
arranged just preceding this week in
order that many alumni and friends
of Dr. Lee may return in time for
the service.
CHANGE AG LANDSCAPING
Will Extend Drive To Include New
Dairy Barn
Under the direction of W. H. Dun
man, landscape architect of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, the landscaping
of the College of Agriculture has
been extended east to include the
new Dairy barn.
The system of drives, which is the
basis for the architectural scheme of
the campus, was extended and large
plantings have been made. There is
a flower filled court in front of the
new barn and j:he drives around it
are flanked with flower beds. The
plantings are iris, shrubs and bulbs.
Say Delayed Pledging System
Cannot Be Properly Enforced
Shirley E. Meserve, national president of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, in
a letter which follows, argues that delayed pledging systems are unsatis
factory because of the difficulty of proper enforcement. He also express
es disapproval of "horse play" in connection with initiations, and discusses
influence of fraternities on college students.

Gentlemen :
Replying to your letter of April
29th. addressed to the undersigned
as president of the Phi Kappa Psi
Fraternity I will endeavor to express
not only my personal opinions but the
imDressions of the Phi Kappa Psi
Fraternity as gained from contact
with its councils and conventions.
Relative to the mater of pledging
perhaps the best answer I can give
to that inquiry is to advise you that
under the constitution of the Phi
Kappa Psi Fraternity no candidate
shall be initiated until after he has
satisfactorily completed one-half year
of school work, unless specially auth
orized by the Executive Council of
the fraternity, which authorization
I may add for your enlightenment,
is not easily obtained. In other words
the sentiment has crystallized in this
fraternity that a man to be valuable

RED COCKATOO
APPLAUDED BY
PACKED HOUSE
Prize Winning Play By Ruth
Moore Exposes Standardi
zation of Sororities
TO REPEAT PLAY TONIGHT
Katharine Costine Carriei Leading
Role in Tragedy of a, Ceniui In
Modern Greek Society
The tragedy of a genius was thrust
before 700 people at the Temple
theatre last night as the result of
publicity methods which some people
frowned upon but, miracle of mira
cles, the crowd liked it, understood
it, and loitered in the lobby to talk
about it.
The play, "The Red Cockatoo,"
was written by Miss Ruth Moore,
'20, an active member of Delta Del
ta Delta, and an assistant in the
philosophy department. It was a
subtle, skillful exposition of the all-too-common
process of manufactur
ing standardized college students.
Every seat in the theatre was tak
en and many sat on t! e steps or stood
in the aisles. The busincs manager
hung up the "Sold Out" sign shortly
after 7 o'clock, and hundreds were
turned away. But by special ar
rangements, the play will be repeated
tonight by the same cast. The size
of the second audience, in all proba
bility, will give the sponors some idea
of the praise or criticism which is
being uttered by those who saw it
last night.
The story revolves about Julia Ladd
Evelyn, an interesting and talented
individual, who enters Gibbon Uni
versity (alias Nebraska) after several
years abroad, and pledges to the sor
ority to which her mother belonged.
But Miss Evelyn does not fit in, she
does not have the right kind of "a
line," she doesn't play the right kind
of music, and she doesn't date the
right men.
Sharp Contrast
The role of Miss Evelyn was play
ed by Katherine Costine, and she
succeeded in making a plainly dress
ed character appear attractive even
in the gayety and jazz of the medi
ocre Greeks. The contrast of a
rather unassuming but charming
character against the boldness and vi
vacity of the dime Btore variety of
flappers was difficult, but was made
clearly and successfully.
Miss Evelyn wins the praise and
admiration of a professor of English
under whom her mother studied, and
of a young assistant professor just
back from Oxford. They like her
poems, encourage her to develop her
unusual talents, and finally when
the sorority threatens to get the bet
ter of her they urge her to leave
the sorority house.
But the campus politician gets in
his golden sale stalk at the psycholog
ical moment, and the "red cockatoo"
ceases to be Miss Evelyn and becomes
"Laddie." She goes in for activities,
makes the student council, the Y. W.,
the W. S. G. A., The Daily Gibbon
ian everything in fact, except Phi
Beta Kappa.
Loses Individuality
The last act takes place in her
senior year. She is the acknowledged
leader of her sorority, has been elect
ed May Queen, is president of Mor
tarboard, etc. She is popular and
has a date with the "biggest man on
the campus."
The Englisn professor drops in
with a letter from the young assist-

as a fraternity man snouia iirst
qualify in his studies before he can
be initiated, and his initiation should
be deferred until he has demonstra
ted his ability to think by satisfact
orily completing at ileast one-half
year of his college curriculum, for
a man not able to stay in college is
neither going to be an asset to his
university nor to his fraternity, in
college or afterward. The indirect
practice indulged in when second-se-
meoter or other periodical pledging
is enforced, seems so apparent to
the writer that it is exceedingly dif
ficult to enforce, which I appreciate
is a rather poor commentary on the
high-mindedness of men of the type
of fraternity men, but, nevertheless
we must not abuse our minds with
the fact that where there is deferred
pledging there is generally some se
cret contract between the proposed
pledgee and some fraternity man
keeping him in contact with the par
ticular chapter. Personally, 1 more

ANNUAL BANQUBT
E. S. Waterbury, Principle
Speaker, Pays Tribute To
Growth Here
AWARD FIFTEEN PLAQUES
Chancellor Avery, Regent Land!,
Reginald Colley and Wendell
Barge Alio Speak
About five hundred Nebraska
Greeks filled tho ScottishRite Tem
ple for the annua? Intcrfraternity
banquet held last night. The inter
fraternity banquets were started
three yenrs ago for the purpose of
bringing about interfratemity co
operation and interest in group schol
arship. At the close of the banquet Prof.
R. J. Pool, president of the interfra
temity council, presented the pla
ques awarded to the fifteen fraterni
ties having tho lowest per cent of
delinquencies. The percentage of
delinquencies was lower this year
than last, although tho highest rank
ing fraternity this year had a lower
percent than the highest rank of last
year.
Wendell Berge, who acted as
toastmastcr, brought forth the ad
vantages of having meetings which
are attended by all the fraternity
men of the university Besides cre
ating an interest in scholarship for
the entire group, it gives the stu
dents an opportunity to hear the ideas
of prominent men in fraternal af
fairs, men who are older and see
the fraternity in a larger light than
the college man sees it
Colley a Guest of the Evening
Reginald Colley, Grand Chaplain
on Theta Chi, was introduced as a
guest of the evening Regent Lan
dis, another guest, spoke briefly on
the attibude of the Loard of Regents
towards fraternities At "ent the
people of the state are supporting the
fraternities of the university ai
much as possible Good work in
scholarship and in the life on the
campus will quiet any antagonism
that might arise against the Greek
letter organizations.
Chancellor Avery, in introducing
Mr. E. S. Waterbury, the speaker of '
the evening, spoke of the improve
ment of the annual interfratemity
banquets. He added that the inter
est in scholarship shown by the ban
quets causes a good impression to be
created throughout the state.
Mr. Waterbury, who is general
manager of Armour and Company of
Omaha, paid a tribute to the devel
opment of the University of Nebras
ka. The different colleges and the
opportunity for favorable study of
every subject form a very good rea
son for the large enrollment of the
university, he declared.
Demand For College Men Increasing
"Fraternities represent the ideal
in organization, coordination, and
cooperation," he continued, "and
men are fitted to become leaders by
their fraternal training. In past
years there have been few college
men in business, compared to the
number who were in professions. At
present the demand for college men
in the business world is constantly
increasing.
College men, and particularly
fraternity men, can always be distin
guished from non-college men," de
clared Mr. Waterbury, "and perhaps
the easiest way of detecting the dif
ference is by the college man's ease
in meeting people. The college man,
he went on, "is at ease everywhere."
In definite education the speaker
announced that his definition of an
educated man is one who knew where
to find the things he wanted and
how to apply them after they were
found. As long as the methods of
learning are remembered the purpose
of education is fulfilled.
Ha Travelled in Ruasia
Mr. Waterbury has travelled ex
tensively in Russia and he contrast
ed some of the Russian eustoma with
those of America. According to the
speaker the Russian universities
compare favorably with the ones of
the United States. In size and in
the opportunities for study the insti
tutions of the two countries are al
most on a par.
A great future for Russia is pre
dicted by Mr. Waterbury. He
strongly condemns the system of bol-
shevism now in effect there. When
the Rusian government is changed
to one similar to the United States
and the people are as well educated
as those ofi America, Russia will
become one of the foremost nations
of the world.
