PROFESSIONALISM
The announcement that Ed Weir
All-American captain of Nebraska's
1925 football team, had joined the
ranks of professional football was
startling one to the unenlightened
majority at this University.
Those who were not on the strict
inside of athletic affairs had always
believed that Weir's daclaration of a
year ago would stand good for this
year, too ; you remember he staunch
ly refused several professional offers
when he ended an athletically glor
ious career, and you will also recall
that he did a little talking about the
undesirability of professional foot
ball in general. But Ed Weir, like
many another football player, has
heard the call of the dollar. Conse
quently, he has come in for a good
deal of criticism, and in Lincoln he
has re-opened the subject of profes
sionalism in football.
Professionalism means playing a
game for the money you get out of it
When you are a professional you
frankly acknowledge that you are
playing the game because of some
thing you want in this case, money;
when you are an amateur, on the
other hand, you defend yourself by
stating that you play the game be
cause you love it. Do those thirty
men who make the team love foot
ball? Do they enjoy tramping upon
each other's necks, and kicking each
other's shins? It is doubtful if they
do.
If they did, they would be just as
likely to go off in a quiet corner and
play a game of football, which they
don't do. If they did, they would play
football after they leave college,
which they don't, either. It is the
glory and the cheers, the screaming
approbation of thirty thousand hys
terical spectators, that attracts men
to football as it is played today. If
there were no stadiums, no organized
rooting sections, and no cheer-leaders,
there would be no football.
So professionalism in one sense,
amounts to honesty and frankness,
something which amateurism cannot
always claim. Those who condemn
college football players for going
into the professional branch of the
sport will do well to remember that
there is very little difference, funda
mentally, between the two, except
that the rewards in the outside game
are money, and in the college game,
fifteen rahs.
Ed Weir has done all he can, in a
football way, for Nebraska. He has
done his share of bringing gridiron
fame to this University, and he has
spent one year in teaching other men
to do what he did. No one under
those conditions can begrudge him
the money he will make by turning
professional. No one can ask him to
do more than he has done.
all-university party is hardly up
posed to have the stateliness of a
formal presentation at tho throne of
royalty or a haughty, imperious
swinging of your partner around the
floor of the arena. If tho party is a
miser, as the name implies very
plainly, why not have a real mixer,
instead of a collection of exclusive
and imperturbable dancers?
Whilo the argument that a stag
can go to the party and enjoy him
self as freely as those who have dates
is hardly reasonable in the light of
its unfairness towards the accompan
ied ones, the remainder of tho rea
sons advanced in answer to the query
are logical Bnd entirely practical. The
party docs take on an aspect of life
and enthusiasm when tho tagging is
prevalent and a better spirit of
friendliness is bound to result from
the exchange of acquaintances. The
aloofness of the student body of the
University of Nebraska is one of the
things that has made it as undemo
cratic as it is, and the practice 01
more tag dances at the Varsity
dances may very well be considered
as a possible contributing factor to a
more democratic student body.

THE TASSELS' STUNT
The Tassels' stunt at the Girl's
Cornhusker Luncheon was so far
from a success that there was notic-
able comment upon it afterwards,
The program was planned to lead up
to this stunt and ita entire success
depended upon the success of this
part of the program. Sad to relate the
women's pep organization of the
campus failed miserably to meet the
responsibility, effecting a sudden and
entire let down.
There has been a wholesale and
indiscriminate condemnation of the
many useless organizations upon the
Nebraska campus, especially the class
honoraries. Campus committees, class
committees, and the Student Council
have all come in for their share, but
until now the pep organizations have
escaped.
The Corncobs have retired some
what into the background by reason
of a ruling of the athletic board, but
they still accomplish a real purpose
in promoting spirit at the rallies and
selling programs at the games.
(We do not mean to insinuate that
this is all they do.)
The Tassels, who started out so
nobly, with such commendable ambi
tion and with such commendable re
sults, seem to have paused by the
wayside. The purpose of the organi
zation is to promote school spirit
on such occasions as was offered at
the Cornhusker luncheon. One of
the best ways to do this is by a really
clever and pertinate stunt One of
the worst ways to do it is to attempt
this and fail.
There is a real work on the campus
for a women's pep organization, but
it is not for those who are too busy
or afraid to work. The Tassels seem
to have desolvcd themselves into an
organization for the display of their
r
TAGGING
It was with considerable interest
that we read the answers to the "In
quiring Reporter" in yesterday's
Daily Nebraskan. A great diversity
of opinion was revealed among the
student body in regard to the ques
tion of the tag dances at the Varsity
parties. The prevailing opinion among
the students of the University seems
to favor the practice in the belief
that it promotes better and wider
acquaintanceships, while the ones
who oppose the practice seem to hold
a selfish attitude that can hardly be
commended.
Some of the reasons given in oppo
sition were that it does not allow one
to enjoy his date in complete priv
acy, that the full benefit of the
mor,ey invested is not received, and
that it promotes too much confusion
on the floor. Of these arguments, the
last is the only one that stands before
the attack of the true spirit of the
parties. Sorely if a student wishes to
have his date entirely to himself be
could find a more appropriate place
than the floor of the Coliseum. We
should suggest a week-end excursion
to the re molest of the South Sea is
lands. The one who feels that he does
not receive the full benefit of the
money invested should glance around
Bid see if he can not take some fair
co-ed from the aims of a fellow-stu
dent and thus not lose an instant of
lis dollar-laden seconds.
It is true to some extent that the
pricUcB dwt add somewhat to the
confusion of the affair, but it seems
to be the popular opinion that the

Our Coif Court
To the Editor:
Speaking of letters to Santa Claus,
which, for the most part are only a
futile gesture, anyway, I rise up in
protest against the list of demands
published in the Daily Nebraskan of
Tuesday. Is it a list that will tickle
the ribs of the out-in-the-state far
mer who is having a hard enough
time keeping the roof of the house
over the head of his golf-playing son
at the University of Nebraska? Will
he cheerfully pull out the old family
purse and shower money on the Leg'
islature to finance the extensive
building and so-called improvement
plan which the university is contem
plating? Most assuredly No.
Isn't the reputation of the univer
sity frivolous enough at the present
time to satisfy those at the head of
it? Must they add other distractions
that will still further detract from
what little scholastic effort
pended?

In our last instalment we
mentioned the fact that having
the cafe at the Central Hotel
under separate management did
not prove satisfactory to Man
ager Harris: There were
changes of cafe management
from time to time, and not al
ways satisfactory cafe service.
So some eight years ago Mr.
Harris decided to take over the
cafe himself.
At first and for a time he
took a partner into the busi
ness; but having very pronounc
ed ideas regarding the way a
cafe should be conducted, he
finally bought out his partner in
order to have a free hand to
develop and test these ideas.
'From that time forward the
Central Cafe has made a phen

Why not-
a vaudeville manager
for "faculty adviser"?
""OBODY understands the principle of a bal
anced program better than the manager of a
vaudeville house.
. That' s a thought to you men now making out
your study programs. Balance the chemistry
with English literature; balance your calculus
with economics.
It all gets down to the fact that in industry
today, electrical communication included, you
will find men well-grounded in their specialty but
broad in human sympathies men of the "all
around" type who can shoulder big responsibility
in a big organization.
