A TEST OF THE COUNCIL
If the Student Council plays fair this afternoon in
its selection of he new members of the Varsity Dance
committee, a successful year for All-University dances
will be the outcome.
Only one hindrance continually stood in the pro
gress of last year's Varsity Dances, and that was the
method of selection. It became more of a tradition
for a fraternity to keep a man on the committee than
to select talent for such a responsible position.
Finally after a miserable season the self-perpetuating
committee was abolished, and now the Student
Council has complete power in the selection of a new
one.
If a capable committee is picked, theTe is no rea
son why Varsity Dances can not come to their rightful
place on this campus. The University authorities are
behind the committee in their ruling forbidding Greek
letter parties the evenings of Varsity Dances. And
fraternities, sororities, and the whole school will back
the committee this year if they give "value received."
But first, the Student Council must pick a capable
committee. This can be don ir. only on way throw
politics to the wind, consider the men and women for
what they have done in the past, and for their future
possibilities. Whether politics can be overlooked is a
matter of wornout debate. The Dailyi Nebraskan makes
no predictions, but hopes for the best, and promises
the worst, if its hopes are wrong.
WELCOME
Many a smile crosses many a face as students be
gin to see the Monocle club rise from the dust of the
ages. To the underclassman the Monocle club means
nothing, but when the seniors of today were the fresh
men of yesterday, "Olympian Stuff" made1 its appear
ance twice a week, and the members of the Monocle
club had tea at three in the afternoon. (And should
it happen that a member of said Monocle club took
you to tea you had tea.)
The Monocle club did not attempt to govern the
campus nor did it assist in subscription campaigns.
If it had an art it was the art of conversation which
has been nearly extinct since the day of Dr. Johnson;
the art of fencing with words. A club, indeed, where
the roll was never called; where the members never
paid twenty-five cents for missing a meeting and
thought it worth the price. The minutes were never
read or the business of the day recorded.
But in this day of so much expended energy for
the uplift of others who in turn expend energy in up
lifting the first uplifters, the mere existance of a
club or organization whose purpose does not extend
beyond the uplift ol its own members, is encouraging.
WE SEE THE LIGHT
The Daily Kansan, official paper of the University
of Kansas, has published a comment upon the editorial
policy of The Daily Nebraskan which greatly relieves
the editorial writers of this paper. It ei least shows
that someone is reading the editorials, for the follow
ing comment appeared as a news story on page 1 of
the first mentioned publication.
s ' New Policy at Nebraska.
University Publication Presents
Unusual Platform
The Daily Nebraskan, official paper of the University
of Nebraska, is opening its school year by presenting a
policy of no policy.
It is making no promises and is pledging no aid in
overcoming any of the eviis of campus life. While in the
past, the custom has been to outline an intricate plan,
in general, the editors think that the policies have been
evaded during the rest of the year.
Instead of this plan, it is now introducing a column
in which students themselves s-.-ay express their views
and perhaps take a more vital interest in reform.
The opening contribution to this column was a
wail from a "not too ignorant" freshman, concerning
the activities of rush week.
Although neither fair nor foul comment is made
concerning this paper's policy, the implication seems
to be that the Kansas editor is waiting to see the out
. come of such an undertaking.
So far, it might be said, that the students have
been overflowing their part of the paper, "The Soap
Box." Many opinions which are not of immediate im
portance have been filed away to be dug out as time
and space permit.
Evidently students art, interested in collegiate
problems. The strong-minded individual who writes
"The Spectator" believes the majority of students are
not "intellectually dead", and we agree with him. If
contributions to "The Soap Box" continue to roll in
as they have thus far, we will write the editor of the
Kansas paper that our "no policy" policy is successful.
OUR ATHLETIC ALPHABET
All the letters of the alphabet in every size and
color adorn the sweaters of Nebraska's first-year men.
They stand for honors won in the past; honors of which
their owners may be justly proud; but they are out
of place on the University of Nebraska campus.
Here an "N" is the only letter. It is the reward
f labor in Nebraska's cause, an honor dearly won.
Nebraska tradition decrees that her glory shall not
be dimmed by the presence of lesser letters. Each year
some of these high school letters put in an appearance,
but they disappear in the first few weeks, their owners
seemingly conscious of their incongruity.
The N club, composed of Nebraska men who have
won their "N", is authorized to enforce this tradition,
and to prosecute offenders who persist in violating the
custom when ignoiance is no longer an excuse. Prose
cution has not been necessary in the last few years,
nor will it be necessary in the future, for Nebraska
spirit grows swiftly, surely, in the hearts of freshmen
Cornhuskers.
FRESHMAN LAMENT
An anonymously penned gem of poetry was found
on ihe bulletin board of the Nebraskan offices yester
day afternoon. Although the writers of this column
could see nothing outstanding about the work, a mem
ber of The Monocle club saw the poetry and explained
that it was very good. Evidently too good to. be ap
preciated by mere journalists.
The thoughts in this poetic freshman's head, how
ever, probably reflect the feeling of the class of 1931i
so we are presenting what the member of the Monocle
club assured us was good poetry, for your approval
I'm a freshman very green
At about a mile I can be seen
Under my kidsized cap so green
With its red hot button "mean."
Now I don't much like the scheme
The colors by any means
But they've got to be worn it seems
'Till at the Olympics the Sophs are cleaned.
By a freshman.

Editor for allowing me to remain anonymous, which is with

Memory Will Work
If You Work
It
I know( of no easier Way to conceive a Topic fit
for discourse than to have my Readers suggest one,
and it is therefore with Pleasure that I reprint the fol
lowing Communication from my good Friend, Sir Roger
De Corei-Iey.
To the Spectator:
Sir,
It has occurred to me more than once that the Condition of
our Drama is at a low title, when 1 bethink me that one pays the
Price of Patient Waiting when he is treated to the Luxurious
Repant of true Drama on any of the Stages in this Town or
Vicinity. But well do 1 realize that my Private Worries can
not improve the Matter, and therefore I wTite to you, who are
so well Ensconced in the Public Press, with the Humble Request
that you discuss in your thorough Style this present Condition
of the Drama. Such would be a great Favour to.
Sir, ' I
Your most humble servant.
Sir Roger de Coverley.
It is true' that I have often ruminated upon this
Matter, and indeed I was but lately called upon to re
new my Speculations when an Announcement was made
of the Repertory for those Players who perform at
ihe Temple Theatre.
Now it is not my Object to find Fault with these
Players, fur it is well known thai their Acting is of
the best and their Presentations on the whole measure
to a high Mark. My purpose is merely to Inquire, why
we do not have more of the old. Tried and True, Drama.
I observe that in the Announcement of the Players
much attention is paid to the fact that the Plays
for this Year are the best of Broadway's productions,
and in the whole Repertory there is only one Name
to hearten my Soul; and that is Hamlet.
What I want to impress upon my Readers is this,
that in the Town there are two very active Theatres
struggling against each other to present the best of
Broadway's productions, and it is safe to say that we
Spectators can be very well served in this respect by
them. The Question arises, then, why the Temple
Theatre does not confine itself to the more "classical"
of Productions. Surely it were a sad Commentary on
our Community if it be adduced that there is no ade
quate Audience for Sheridan, Goldsmith, Shakespeare,
Marlowe, Beaumont or Fletcher. I have observed that
Age ofttimes is a good Criterion of Value, anrf it oc
curs to me that the Temple Theatre might very well
present, and with the most Auspicious of Results too,
the good old Productions that have stood the Test of
Time.
To be sure, I suppose the great Plays are more
difficult to produce, but then this is a weak argument
to advance, for it only casts Doubt upon the ability of
the Players. Now I for one was a Spectator at the Per
formance of The Merchant of Venice last Year, and I
am happy to say, that while there were several obvious
Fl 3ws, the Presentation was on the whole worthy of
being called Excellent. And again, there was the Pre
sentation of Cyrano de Bergerac, by such a compara
tively untrained Group as the Dramatic Club. Now
this was a good Play, and although one must Confess
that its Production was full of Faults and quite in
ferior to the Polished Performance of the "Broadway
attractions," still, I will maintain the Position, that a
poor performance of Cyrano is better than a good per
formance of The Gold-Diggers, or The Spit-Fire.
My sense of Fairness compels me to admit the
Possibility of a lack of Appreciation for such Plays
whose merits I have been expounding. I recall that in
1924 a. Fritz Lieber, then the only Shakespearean actor
on the American Stage, appeared on a Local Stage,
in a full and complete Presentation of Shakespeare
There was but a handful of People in the Audience,
and Mr. Lieber himself remarked upon the Lack of In
terest in his Production, especially in a University
Town. The Cause was found in the Fact that on the
night Mr. Lieber appeared, the annual Military Ball
was in full and gala sway; hence the Absence of ar
Audience at the Presentation of Shakespeare.
j, v ThereWe 1 should advise the University Players
if by some remote Chance they should take my advice'
not to attempt production of Shakespeare or Sheridan
on the night of the Military Ball.

be of some value to him.
"To summarize," ended Doctor
Worcester, "'we all have good mem
ories, anJ ti.ey will hold for us what
ever items we consider to be of im
portance. They will keep up their
efficiency to green old age, and fin
ally although they are already good
memories, thoy can be made even
better if we will undertake to train
them i-ystematically."

which is held in conjunction with this
Bureau. Members of the organiza

of their time to canvass the city in
search of employment. The results
of this drive placed many students in
permanent jobs.
The Bureau asks that all needs for
student employment be phoned to it.

dire need of financial aid to make
application, but it attempts to dis
courage the practice that some stud
ents have of securing employment

fifty- women attended.
The speaker especially stressed the
hope that new students will be in
terested in making friendships, not
only among students of their own
nationality but also among students
of other nationalities. Miss Appleby
also expressed the hope that each
woman would develop a feeling of
individuality and self-realisation in
this new university world, and last
but not least to remember God and
remember what is the real purpose of
life.

Yearlings Unable to Make Usual
Headway; "Choppy" Rhodes
Demonstrates Plays
Freshman Coach "Choppy" Rhodes
and his pigskin artists inudded
through the regular practice session
on drill field Tuesday afternoon. A
large degree of polish and "zip" was
not in evidence, due to the slippery
footing and murky atmosphere.
Off tackle plays were receiving
the big call. "Choppy" inserted him
self in the lineup and tore through
the tackle position with the speed and
precision that Cornhusker fans still
remember. Scherzinger and Frahm
alternated in doing the same thing.
Even the sod on the field afforded
scant footing for the scurrying grid
sters, and many a tumble marred the
smooth working of "Choppy's" pet
plays. Not many men turned out
however, and Lehman found it a hard
task to rig up a first string line.
Parker, Crete boy, who served
creditably during the skirmish with
the Varsity last Saturday, reported
later in the afternoon and handled
the team nicely from the quarter
back position. His punting has been
a shining light in the yearling back
field this year, and he averages from
40 to 50 yards on his efforts.
Due to the new ruling prohibiting
scouting, the work of the freshmen
has been greatly reduced. Learning
the plays of the opposition was their
principle pastime last season, and it
seems strange not to witness differ
ent formations this year.
All freshmen out for football
should report every night possible.
Iowa City, Iowa. (IP) A book
printed 422 years ago, or less than a
century after the art of printing was
invented, has come into the posses
sion of the law library of the Univer
sity of Iowa.
The book classifies English ec
clesiastical law of the times, and,
conforming to an ancient custom, the
textual material is printed in the
center of the page, while comments
by famous scholars are written about
the edges. The volume was printed
in France in red and black letirs.
It was presented to the university by
Irmi L. McCloud of Washington, a
graduate of the class of 1880.
