and we believe fairly, the custom of
those who are members of both the
Tassels and an honorary to give their
support to the Tassels, because of
the position of that organization as
a leader upon the campus. We only
contend that the organisation should
not falter under its obligations.
December 10 the Tassels will have
an opportunity to reinstate them
selves in the opinions of those who
criticized the stunt of the Cornhusker
Luncheon. It may be true that incon
veniences in the arrangement of the
Coliseum increased the difficulties of
presenting a program there, but we
call attention to the fact that the
other numbers of the day were a de
cided success. However the Girl's
Cornhusker party will be given in the
Armory which presents the same dif
ficulties under which successful
stunts have been put on in the past
It is the custom at this time for
each of the honoraries and the Tas
sels to present a stunt or some other
addition to the program. We can hon
estly say that the one they put on
last year at that time was as much
of a success as this last one was a
failure. It is now up to them, and the
final judges of the merits of the case
are of 'course the students of the,
campus and not the Daily Nebraskan.
AS OTHERS SEE US
The trip which the football team
took to Seattle undoubtedly was of
benefit to the University financially,
since an enormous crowd attended
the game. This is not the only bene
fit which the University and the state
derived from the trip, however.
Something not quite so tangible but
of great importance is the good will
which the actions of our team has
caused to exist between the two sec
tions of the country.
The far west is greatly impressed
with the way Coach Bearg and the
Cornhuskers took their defeat. Like
the good sport that he is, Coach
Bearg did not complain about the
weather or .anything else. The far
west liked that Then when they were
defeated, tire Members of the team
offered no excuse and no alibi, they
merely praised the other team. After
such a defeat as the one at Seattle,
it takes real men to say e were per organization although all bills
defeated by a better team." The Ne-'are pajd from the student activities

All bills incurred by student or

braskan by Louise K. Brace, secre
tary of the Portland Alumnae asso
ciation: As the Nebraska football team
passed through Portland after a
heartbreaking defeat by the Uni
versity of Washington at Seattle,
members of the aggregation
said:
"We were beaten by a great
team in a great game."
At Corvallis, the day of the
recent Oregon-O. A. C. clash, the
American flag, the Oregon colors
were all draped together over
the city, and signs read, "Wel
come Oregon."
After another coast game this
year a defeated team said, al
most in chorus, in the only com
ment: "We were defeated by a bet
ter team."
It has been the same story in
scores of other instances during
the recent season the highest
type of sportsmanship has been
the order of the day, a feeling
of warm friendship has been en
couraged between rival college
towns, and a spirit of honorable
and clean competition has been
fostered.
There has been criticism of
athletics in our schools. There
have been those, even, who advo
cated the elimination of the
games. But sports which spur
men on to clean competition,
which cement the friendships be
tween rival cities, and which
build up character, manhood and
a spirit of sportsmanship of the
highest type, are not games to
do America very much harm.
Instead, they are molding
men.
filed in the voucher which approved
their payment Thus, if any organiza
tion can secure the cancelled check
from the student activities office as
confirmation.
Complete Set of Books Kept
A complete set of books is kept,
furnishing a continuous process
hich is a substantial improvement
over former haphazard methods of
handling the funds of student organ
izations. They are regularly audited
and the agent for student activities
is bonded so that all parties are well
protected. Money once deposited to
the credit of an organization remains
credited to them until their treasurer
approves vouchers turning the money
to other channels.
Several organizations with balan
ces on the books of the student activ
ities office have become extinct or at
least inoperative. However, their
funds will be carried in their name
until they assign them to someone
else or to some other organization.
Thus, the class of 1919 left a balance
of $140. This will be carried until the
class of 1919 spends it The same is
true of the class of 1924 which left
a balance of ten cents.
Organizations Pure baa Bonds
Another phase of the handling of
the finances of student organizations
is investments. Several organizations
with substantial balances have pur
chased bonds. They are kept in the
University vaults, the coupons clip
ped, and the interest credited to the
organization. The Latin club, for

"Did you see that awful slam at
the Tassels?" queried an ambitious
freshman. "They were certainly
knocking the honoraries, and we
Mystic Fish are going to get busy,
W don't want them to say anything
about us,"
The above conversation was heard
on the steps of the library building,
and we really felt encouraged. At
least somebody reads the Daily Ne
braskan and takes note of the opin
ions there expressed. They may be
only freshmen, but those freshmen
' wOl be seniors four years from now
unless they, too, "fall by the way

demn the Tassels as one of the "use
less" organizations of the campus.
but called their attention to the fact
that there was real work to be done.
This work Is that for which the or
ganization was formed; namely, the
promotion of spirit and good fellow
ship on the campus. The Tassels have
not "fallen by the wayside" (at
least we dislike to think so), but
circumstances seem to show that they
paused there that they are resting
n t;cir laurels, so to speak.

instance, purchased bonds from sur
plus funds a number of years ago.
Later the club died and was reorgan
ized just this year. During the period
of several years in which it was not
in existence, interest from its bonds
was credited to it as usual.
There are about one hundred or
ganizations on the campus which
make use of this accounting system
furnished by the University through
the agent for student activities. A
number of these are ones whose
membership changes completely each
year. If their funds were kept sep
arately, the account might not be
transferred, might be lost, or several
other things might happen to it. Un
der the present system, these funds
are carried over from one year's
group to the next year's group with
out confusion.
Office May Advance Money
The office offers still another ad
vantage to student organizations and
activities. The pooling of funds gives
it a very substantial account at the
bank. Thus, the agent for student
activities can advance money to or
ganizations when it will mean a con
siderable saving to them.
In this manner, money may be ad
vanced to the Cornhusker each fall
when it hasn't a cent, in order to
make it possible for it to take advan
tage of discounts on its paper and
engraving bills. Money is never ad
vanced unless it is practically certain
that the organization will have suf
ficient income to repay the office. An
other instance of advancing money
which has been very beneficial is in
the case of glee clubs. On several oc
casions they have been advanced
money to cover expenses of trips with
the money being paid back from their
receipts from the trip.
Through this office, all student or
conization funds are audited. Tick
ets of any nature must be validated
by the agent for student activities.
Then his men are on the doors at all
functions and the receipts must check
with the tickets accepted at the door.
Students are beginning to realise that
this is a protection to them instead
of a nuisance. Any number of schools
have copied the system of handling
student organization funds which is
in use here.
Handles Athletic Funds
The agent for student activities in
his position of business manager for
athletics handles all athletic funds.
All athletic income and bills come
through his office. Incidentally, it is
the only office of the University
whose funds do not go through the
finance secretary. The athletic funds

Little stories about the
Cleanliness
"Cleanliness is indeed next to
godliness," Wesley, the great
preacher, said long ago; and to
this day many believe it to be a
quotation from the Bible. Clean
liness, we said in Instalment No.
4 is Manager Harris' hobby, if
we may use that word without
offense.
Keeping cooking utensils
clean is no slight task, as any
housewife knows, even in a
small family kitchen; but when
we cook for hundreds even
thousands daily, the task is in
creased a hundredfold.
Mr. Harris saw that a great
advantage could be gained by
having the short-order cooking
and the dishing up done in the
front of the cafe instead of at
the back. Any carelessness or
slovenliness would be more
readily detected. It would be
easier to keep the fry station
and utensils clean.
So be installed his fry station
at the front. In a year or two
be found it necessary to order
a much larger station, made
specially for him according to
plans he and his chefs had work
ed out, and at a cost whicX
would build a very comfortable
bungalow.
