COLLEGE MORALS
With all that Is bclnjc written about
the loose morals of college students,
it is very refreshinir to read an ar
ticle which deals with the subject in
its true light. Such an article is one
by Rita S. Halle, writing In McCall's
magazine. In speaking of the selec
tion of a college, she says:
"Another false idea on which
people base a choice is one form
ed largely by recent fiction. It
is that large colleges, or colleges
located in larg cities are condu
cive of depravity and vice
among the students. This is no
truer of large places than of any
other placse where youth gath
ers. Most young people are in
nately good, and more of them
at that age are cherishing secret
good thoughts and high ambi
tions than low thoughts and de
sires. "If a parent has brought his
child up to think and to do right
and to have the will power to do
it against odds, he need not wor
ry about him anywhere. If he
has not so trained him, then his
chances of keeping straight, of
having the good brought out in
him instead of the bad, are as
good in a large place as in a
small one.
"American youth realizes its
strength, its responsibilities, its
opportunities. Despite all the
talk about flapperism and demor
alization among the young peo
ple, never before have such
large numbers of them taken
themselves and life so seriously;
never before have so many of
them sought all the education
that they could get, for that pur
pose." If more of the writers could see
this thing clearly as Miss Halle does,
the reputation of colleges in general
would take a decided rise. And Miss
Halle is absolutely right on this
point.
There is undoubtedly much im
moral conduct among college stu
dents, but can the colleges be blamed
for this, Look at the younger set at
the country clubs in the larger cities.
Look at the high school students, es
pecially in the larger cities. There
you will find the same conditions that
exist among college students.
If the college students do not act
as they should it is because the youth
of the country is acting that way
and is not usually the fault of the
colleges.
As Miss Halle says, the parent who
has brought his child up properly
need not worry when that child goes
to college. There is no one at college
who is going to try to make that
child go wrong. Things just don't
work that way, contrary to the be
liefs of some of our present-day
writers.
At college, above all places, the
boy or girl is on his or her own. Out
side of a few minor traditions, the
student does just about as he please,
much more so than be did at home.
If he goes wrong it is His own fault
or the fault of his parents.
But while college students are
merely doing what all other young
people in the country are doing, the
universities are bearing the brunt of
an attack on modern morals.
And with such persons writing ar
Mr. Cross of Chicago and such mov
ing pictures as "The Plastic Age"
playing to capacity houses, the Amer
ican universities are getting worse
and worse in the eyes of the public.
value of this letter is that it is writ
ten by a student who is attending the
University of Nebraska for the first
time and who has attended another
university.
We had thought that the spirit at
the Drake game was fairly good. We
disagree with our correspondent's In
formants who said that the cheers
could not be heard in the west stand
for a number of them, in fact .most
of them, wore audible even in the
press box.
There still is, however, much to be
hoped for as is shown in the letter.
The viewpoint of the writer of that
letter is very nearly that of an out
sider and he finds much lacking. If
he, a newcomer, is able to see our
faults so clearly, perhaps it would
be well for us, to chock up on our
selves.

WELCOME MISSOURI
Saturday night the students of the
University of Nebraska will have an
excellent opportunity to welcome and
entertain their guests frora Missouri
at the Varsity Party. The chairman
of the party committee has received
word that 200 couples of Missouri
students will attend the party. The
music will also be furnished by a
Missouri orchestra.
Never before have we had such a
chance to show our hospitality to
our neighbors and friendly rivals, the
Tigers. There is a true spirit of good
feeling between the two schools at
the present time and this party in
which a large number of students
from both institutions will take part
will do much to cement that feeling.
MORE SPIRIT
In the "Other Opinions" column
today appears a letter which should
be read by every student. It is an
appeal to the student body to back
the team and show the true "Nebras
ka Spirit" This appeal has bee"
sounded time an! again, but the

A Other See Ui
To the Editor:
Last Saturday afternoon I attend
ed the Drake Nebraska football game
which Nebraska won so handily.
There I had ample opportunity to
note the school spirit of one of the
greatest schools in America. Perhaps
before commenting further I should
introduce myself.
I am a new student in this Uni
versity. However, I am a junior, hav
ing attended another institution for
two years. I am now a Cornhusker
rooter and proud to boost Nebraska
and it is because of that fact that I
write this article.
The night before the game I at
tended the huge rally held in the
Coliseum. There you all know what
occurred. Naturally I expected much
of that same spirit at the game.
School spirit of Nebraska 1 If a
stranger to Nebraska, as I was in
deed, should attend a football game
in the huge stadium and hear the
faint and half-hearted cheering and
applause of the Drake-Nebraska
game he would indeed class the school
spirit of Nebraska as a thing of the
past, relegated to the back shelf
along with the scores of forgotten
athletic events of the past.
I have information from several
individuals who occupied seats in the
opposite part of the stadium, that
little enthusiasm and pep could be
noted in the student section excepting
when touchdowns were made or im
mediately in the offing. And the sing
ing could not be heard above the
band.
The high school boys and girls dis
played more real enthusiasm than the
University students themselves.
I have no fault to find with the
cheer leaders. They performed and
did all that could be expected of
them. But the spirit was lacking.
Now Nebraska men and women,
let's go! Let's get some real pep and
fight, and cheer; really cheer for that
team that represents you and I, every
one of us. As Ed Weir, Lonnie Stiner
and others say: "It's up to you." And
next Saturday when Nebraska battles
Mizzou let's send that old Nebraska
spirit out over the field and into the
hearts of the players in such a man
ner that they will realize that the
old Nebraska Spirit has returned and
is backing them to the final play.

they follow the leader. Why not give
the freshman the opportunity to act
as leaders? In the first place they
must acquaint themselves with our
fine Nebraska songs. Nebraska has
their pep meetings, but all the stu
dents on the campus are not able to
come to them. The logical place,
then, to create added enthusiasm if
in the classroom.
The day before each football game
five minutes at the beginning of the
hour should be spent in singing Ne
braska songs. It will show the stu
dents that the professors have as
much of this "school spirit" as the
student body. It will give them a
thorough knowledge of our songs,
which will certainly be used advan
tageously. We have a real team this year, we
have a real stadium, and no visiting
team can say that we have not a real
student body, and real spirit. Singing
five minutes on the Friday before the
games will help.

The Corn Cob
To the Editor:
Why is it that when an organiza
tion on our campus is willing to work
hard, and give time and energy for
the purpose of building a greater Ne
braska spirit, that the scope of that
organization's activity is cut down.
The Corn Cobs are a group of stu
dents on our campus who have done
more to built up our Spirit than any
other organization in existence at
Nebraska. Then at the time when
their activity is most needed to put
pep into a football crowd, they are
denied the privilege of carrying out
their traditional custom of perform
ing between halves.
B"f)7Q

It is a commonly accepted fact
that strong spirit in an audience is
a power in winning football games.
In order to maintain that spirit
throughout the game, there must be
some form of entertainment between
the halves, or the spirit loses its mo
mentum, and becoems weaker in the
interlude The Corn Cobs have for
years furnished this entertainment,
and I should say that they have per
formed their task in a commendable
manner, reopie an over tne state
know of their activities, and when
they return to see a game, they ask,
"What has become of the Corn Cobs,
and thejr good old Nebraska Spirit?"
The only answer that can truthfully
be given is that some board has de
nied the organization the right to
continue their custom. The grad will
probably answer to the effect that it
seems to be an entirely unjustified
move on the part of that board. And
so it goes.
It seems to the writer that the or
ganization is entitled, in view of its
forme services to the University, to
a public justification for its action.
The student body seems to be against
the new ruling, and if a vote were
taken it would inevitably show just
such a sentiment.
If someone feels that the decision
of the board is commendable, and can
site instances to prove their case, I'm
sure we would all be pleased to see
a reply printed in this column. As it

of the following as class managers in
that sport:
Hazel Snavely Junior.
Marjorie Eastabrook Sophomoro.

The Idea of class managers Is an
Innovation for hockey. It was suc
cessfully used last season in rifle
marksmanshin and will probably be
extended through the wholo serios of
sports this year. Because the general
manager's work Is too heavy to be
handled alone the class managers
will act as her assistants. They will
call roll on their respective class
nights, aid during the practice per
iods and observe which girls seem to
be best qualified for the tournament
game.
Tolnta are awarded for ability and
