Tag; Dances To the Editor: For the past few days there has been quite a bit of discussion about tag dances, most of which has been in favor of them. I admit there are rood uoints. but the bad ones are far greater. In the first place they arc not dem ocratic, because for each boy who goes as a stag, one girl must stay at home. In cities where this custom is prevalent, the outcome is that about one-tl'rd as many girls go to parties as boys, and these few are not always the most representative, the best srirls. but merely those who are started. The boy is able to drop in for a few dances, can enjoy himself with someone else's date, and then go, while the small percentage of girls there enjoy more attention than is their due, and many girls conse quently, stay at home. But the worst evil of the stag line is that it encourages drinking. In some cases a boy is less likely to drink if he is with a date, although this is not always true. But without a date, there is no check upon him, Notices which every Cornhusker can well be proud. It is only fitting and proper that the splendid work of the gridiron squad be rewarded in some manner by the supporters of the team, and it is this place that the Cornhusker banquet is filling. Previous accounts of the coming banquet have stressed the idea that all fraternities should close their struggling through a dance with a boy so drunk that he needs support. A glance in at any of the big par ties in cities where tag dances are common will prove this statement. Boys and men, in various stages of intoxication, wander about the lobby or room, and now and then stagger to the dance floor. There, the stag line, which at the beginning of the . 1,1 ...J - 1.

Like all other University courses, regular foes are paid for correspondence study. The fees are slightly higher per credit hour ($4.00 per credit hour) than for courr ' taken on the campus but they have been made as low as possible in view of the ex penses necessary in the work. There are around 2000 students enrolled in correspondence courses of the University at the present time. Each of these students is carrying anywhere from one to six courses. The English courses offered have the largest enrollment with some of the educational courses following closely. However, interest, as shown by regis tration, is well distributed among all the courses offered for correspon dence study. Many Teachers Enrolled Correspondence work is a great help to many in the state who are un able to take up regular University work on the campus. It is especially of service to teachers whowant more work but who have to continue with their teaching. It furnishes an oppor tunity to continue their training while going on with their teaching. Correspondence study is admittedly not as satisfactory as study in the University proper, but it is a decided aid and service for those unable to attend the University. The University Extension Division renders students distinct service also in connection with the correspond ence courses in attempting to supply reference material needed in the courses. Many references are the pro perty of the Extension Division. How ever, much of tne reference material is furnished through the courtesy of the Nebraska Public Library commis- sinn. Th F!rtensiftn Division rents I the books" necessary for the corres Ipondence courses to the students. Full price for the books is paid when the student starts the course and to thirds of this sum is refunded when the books are returned in good con dition at the end of the course.

It was our good fortune to be among the lucky ones that made the tour. We had a splendid chance to view the hospitality and customs of the average coast institution, with the University of Washington as a repre sentative. We were treated with wonderful hospitality and very much curtesy. However, the most impres sive things are brought to mind through a comparison and contrast of the vwo schools. One sees the failings and advantages of his alma mater more clearly as a result of the study. One of the things that impressed us most washe precision with which the Washington student body exe cutes it's yells. It proved that it had a number of good yells, and, in fact, a yell to fit most any occasion. However, there were two whic . es pecially impressed us, and one more than the other. One of the two bet ter yells is as follows: "Huskies! Go-o-o get 'em." The other, and best yell we ever saw executed or beard, is done in this manner. The leader calls for the yell, (using Nebraska for ex ample), by the name of "Four for Nebraska." The leader goes through motions such as one would if he were doing a series of whip cracks. The rooters yell: "Nebraska! Rah, rah, rah, rah, Nebraska!" This, we consider, a very good yelL It has all the qualities that a good yell should possess. It has pep, it has snap, and best of all it is short. It can be executed ra about ten , seconds. It can be executed easily between plays. This is exactly whaFI Nebraska needs. The "Whats the matter, their all right, whose all r'cU tc" is all right but it is entire ly too long and becomes dreggy fore Hi end.

All Luth eran students are especially urged to attend. Sigma Delta Chi Regular meeting Sigma Delta Chi Examinations are required in most of the courses. These are handled through local superintendents of schools or other competent officials. The answers are handled by the Ex- correspondence courses and are al lowed considerable leeway In time taken to complete the courses. They are generally completed within a semester and practically always with a year. Night Classes Offered Closely related to the correspond ence work is the system of Night Classes. Some twenty courses are be ing offered on the University cam pus at night this semester for the benefit of persons unable to attend the University during the day. Night classes have been carried on for eleven years and over 4500 Btudents have been able to take advantage of them in this period. The University Extension Division also supervises the offerinsf of credit to women's clubs which carry on def inite lines of work for University credit. Lists showing members of the University faculty available for lec ture work and their topics are fur nished the state through the medium of the University Extension Division. Three other educational functions of the division are the conducting of citizenship schools, schools for scout masters, and schools for athletic coaches, the last of which has been done quite extensively for several years by co-operation with the De partment of Physical Education and I Athletics. Another important service of the Extension Division is the Weekly News Letter. It publishes a vast amount of information which is promptly scattered over the state. It publishes the weekly radio program of the University so that people through the state may be prepared for any protoTam of special interest Much of the radio work is handled by the Extension Division but as the radio work is also aided by the Col lege of Agriculture and the School of Fine Arts we shall deal with it in the next article. News Letter Gives Information The Weekly News Letter carries new educational developments, hints and suggestions of all sorts, keeps the schools and people of the state in formed as to new work of the Uni versity. It functions as a very effi cient informational service, carrying during the course of the year mater ial on a wide range of subjects, ma terial much of whose value is de pendent on being known immediately. A bibliography on the high school debate question is prepared each year under the direction of the Extension service. This with abstracts of pro and con arguments on the question is supplied in bulletin form to the high schools of the state. This is only a small part of the publication work of the Extension Division, however. Publications in reference to a wide range of subjects are being continu ously issued by the division. Pamph lets on educational, English, and business subjects have been especial ly numerous and helpful. These pamphlets are supplied at a minimum price to individuals and groups in the state and offer a constantly widening means of spreading reliable and care ful study in various fields of learning. The University Extension Division is, then, a most important factor in carrying the University to the peoplo of the state. It is the medium through which many citizens of the state, un able to attend the University, have been able t take further University work. We have seen that this is its most important function but that it carries on a number of other closely related endeavors, all serving the state and tending to develop that better citizenry and better state which has been the constant aim and ideal of the University of Nebraska. down through the years. ProfC8so Nutting points out that the America! negro always has this feeling even though his outward manner may b insolent and self-assuring. 6 In Professor Nutting's classes ne groes from the West Indies have 'done "A" work, similar to that of the white scholars but an American col. orod man has never reached that pin" nacle in soology study at the UniveN sity of Iowa. Improvement is going forward constantly, says Professor Nutting who believes that in time the Amer ican negro will lose much of his in. feriority complex. Then his intellcc! tual nature will develop until It ii on a par with that of his West In. dian brother.
