In all cases the editor must know the Identity of tbe contributor. The Tassels Reply To the Editor: Your editorial in yesterday's Ne braskan concerning the activity of the Tassels at the Girls' Cornhusker Luncheon was "so far from success that there was noticeable comment upon it afterwards." It betrays by its insinuation of unworthy molives that you were obviously biassed in your judgment, and the prejudice of your statements invalidated whatever value they may have had as a criti cism of the organization. I do not pretend to claim that the entertainment the Tassels provided at the Luncheon was entirely without fault: there were inconveniences in the arrangement of the Coliseum that made our task difficult. But had it gone off as planned, I think it would have been pertinent to the purpose of the organization. I think, as you do, that there is work to be done on the campus that calls for "real Nebraska women with Notices Reporter" were in favor them emphatically. Most of the answers, naturally, were of a frivolous nature and only one or two seemed to get the point that the tag dances were instituted to help encourage a democratic feel ing among the members of the stu dent body instead of just so that the girls can dance with more fellows. Despite such remark? as "I like the excitement", "It helps you out", and others, the Varsity Party Com mittee should feel encouraged at the replies and should by all means con tinue the practice in the future. One poor misguided young lady was afraid it was hard on the fellows. pose of the Tassels to do what they can for the general good of the Uni versity by promoting school spirit, creating democratic fellowship among the women of the campus, and coop erating with other organizations. Our efforts in the past in this direc tion have not been, I think, entirely without success. We have ushered at basketball games, served as wait resses at the Annual Roundup Lunch eon, and, at the rallies, helped de velop the school spirit that you have asserted in so many editorials is nec essary to bring winning football teams. This year we have turned in more subscriptions than any other organization for the Cornhusker, the Hard on the fellows! It seems to uslAwgwan, and, Mr. Editor, your own that it's the women who have to suf-paper. Certainly two of these things, fer if any one does for under the tag! if none of the rest, should win your svstem thev dance all the time. How- approval our fostering a finer Ne- ever they seem to like it, at least braska spirit, and our obtaining sub twenty-two or tnem ao, so ine aances don't seem to be working a hardship on anyone. But please save your pity for the men, they are indeed lucky not to have to dance all evening. If tagging is successful at Varsity Parties, and it seems that it is, why not continue the practice to our other JJnlversity functions? Our quaint old fashioned parties, especially the for mals, need something done to them. Maybe it's the inauguration of tag ging that they need, maybe not. It's time to try something. Knute Rockne stirred the state of scribers to the Daily Nebraskan In the light of the services we have performed for Nebraska directly, or indirectly through your and the other publications , it would seem that the attitude you take in this editorial is rather ungraceful, and that your crit ical disposition has not been modified in the slightest by gratitude. You have insinuated that the Tas sels take part in activities because they like to appear in their uniforms, because they are "dressmaker's mod els". A more observant eye than yours would have discovered by look ing about on the campus that we do not need to create an opportunity for display of stylish dresses.

Tledges pro grameveryone be there I College Press SCIENCE (Minnetota Daily) The all-inclusive term "science" has caused perhaps more controver sy than any other word in use today. The mere mention of the word sug gests to the lay mind the accomplish ments of the laboratory test tubes, retorts, electrical apparatus, and the like. To some, the word conjures up images of the middle age alchemists, men who were said to have resorted to black art in their experiments, pro nouncing weird incantations the while over their handiwork. A definition of science at this point is not amiss. Surely the clearest, most comprehensive one is this: Knowledge reduced to order. The popular conception of science endows it with personality. Sunday supplement headlines with their "Science Promises Relief or "Science Fears to Investigate Death Ray," and the anti-evolutionist's "Science can't prove anything" are equally erroneous. To personify the word is to be guilty of the grossest ignorance. There is no element of mystery con nected with science. All scientific accomplishments have resulted from research, the reasoned application of available knowledge. The logical ap plication of principles is the essence of scientific investigation. The alchemist of medieval times was handicapped at the very outset because he depended almost entirely upon chance discoveries to reach his goal. He knew very little; he sought to hoodwink the layman by investing his own activities in an atmosphere of mystery. Modern investigators have taken pains to inform the public that ad vance in the achievement of know ledge is logical in order and that the discovery of one truth or series of truths leads to another. Even so, the fallacy of personification continues to exist In the popular mind, and the pseudo-scientist still makes it neces sary to enclose the word in quotation maiks at least fifty per cent of the time. University Lutheran Club To Give Program The Lutheran Club of the Univer sity is sponsoring a program at the First Lutheran Church near IS & K Sts., Thursday evening, Dec. 2.

A statement, said to come from our athletic department, fol lowed his interview in which it was said that no official word from Notre Dame had been received and that due to the fact that our schedule is prac tically complete, it was highly im probable that a game with Notre Dame would be scheduled for 1927. It is all very well to hold our head up and say that it is Notre Dame's first move and that our schedule is nearly filled, but if Notre Dame should offer Nebraska a game and it would not be accepted, the entire state of Nebraska would rise as one man in protest. We want that game and there is no use pretending we don't. HELEN AACH. Three Years Ago Big Ben Towels Double thread Cannon's fa mous Turkish Towels size 22x 44.

Howard Buffett '25, Omaha was made editor of the Daily Nebraskan at the midsemester appointment ot the staff of the daily by the Student Publication Board. Paul Cheyney was chosen as presi dent of the University band. Verne Lewellen, captain of the 1923 football team and pitcher on the baseball team for the past two years, signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Reverend Mr. Oscar M. Voorhees, D. D., National secretary of Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholarship frater nity was a guest of the University of Nebraska chapter. We are also grateful to Mr. Rockne for saying that it was not the fault of the University that relations were severed but the fault of the towns people. Will the Omaha Bee and other well-meaning but misinformed newspapers kindly take note and quit their infernal harping on the folly of youth and razzing the Corn Cobs and the students for causing the break between the two schools. A reply from the president of the Tassels, an organization which we criticized recently, is printed in the "Other Opinions" column today. We are informed that our attitude u un graceful, that we have no gratitude, that we are not the possessor of an observant eye, and that we have no taste. We are grateful to the Tassels, not only because they replied to our remarks, but also because they didn't - say anything worse than that about us. Whether or not they were right is for the women who attended the banquet to decide. With the close of the football sea son, our athletic interests naturally turn to basketball. This season should be the most popular one in Cornhus ker history since all of the games will be played in the Coliseum for the first time. Last year found an in. crenwd interest in the sport, with only part of the games played in the CoVsenm where temporary bleachers were erected. This year, with the handing completed, should be a ban ner year, especially since the pros rects for a winning team seem to be .'-: J. .. i PRE-HOLIDAY FROLIC ROSEWILDE PARTY HOUSE Saturday. December 4th Jj) Per Couple Little stories about the Historical and Ideal We mentioned in Instalment No. 3 that Manager Harris took over the management of the Central Cafe some eight years ago, having a partner at first but later on he bought out the partner in order to have a free hand on developing and testing his ideas of how a cafe and restaurant should be managed. He was by no means unac quainted with the task before him, for he had had cafe and hotel experience before coming to the Central Hotel. If Mr. Harris has a hobby we might almost say an obses sion it is cleanliness. No Old Dutch Cleanser was ever so ''r an enemy of dirt as he. Aai. bis eyes are both micro scopic and telescopic in detect- ing it. So his first commandment in the decalogue of cafe and hotel management is: "Ihou shalt not tolerate dirt at any time, any where." This is the keystone of the arch, the headstone of the cor ner, of his success in bringing the ContraJ Cafa to its present pre-eminent position. 1325 P (Ta be ceattinu1) "DANCING FEET" SMARTLY DRESSED IN SIMON'S LATEST STYLE NOVELTY FOOTWEAR A BEAUTIFUL 1-STRAP PAISLEY CLOTH PUMP, SIL VER KID TRIM, SPIKE HEEL $C85 TO $785 A DAINTY PUMP SHOWN IN SILVER AND GOLD KID.
