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. And a finer

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.

classic. 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.

Howard Buffett '25, Omaha was

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

years, signed a contract with the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
Reverend Mr. Oscar M. Voorhees,

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

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.
