Stop that fight the Oklahoma Aggies are boiling over with rage, indignation, hatred, and every other uncomplimentary t word in the English language. Why? Oh, because Nebraska (understand Nebraska) left them out of the new athletic confer ence. "The Cornhuskers swore vengeance on the Okla homa Aggies from the time they entered the Valley, and this desire for vengeance was heightened when Maully's men made off with the Valley football champ ionship last fall," declares the Oklahoma Aggie writer. Nebraska was undoubtedly disappointed after the loss of last year's football championship. Why shouldn't she be, when most of the sport writers in the Valley agreed that the Oklahoma Aggies did not play enough major games to cinch their technically won title. We can just see our representative, Herbert Gish, acting director of athletics,, in a fit of rage before members of the new conference declaring that the Okla homa Aggies shall no be included in this new system, because they trimmed the Huskers. Mr. Gish will prob ably be very much ashamed to see the story which brazenly reveals his reasons for excluding the Aggies from the new conference. Evidently the Aggie writer thinks it took only Mr. Gish's vote to exclude them. We wonder where the other five conference members were during the voting. Probably there, and voting the same way. l Perhaps the student body would like to hear the story of how Nebraska cheated the Oklahoma Aggies out of a jlace in the new conference. Here is the news paper story, and it must be right because it came from an Oklahoma Aggie writer: HARD BLOW Somehow or other, I feel depression rather than ela tion over birth of the new organisation formed by the '.ini-emity of Oklahoma and five other members of the Missouri Valley conference. There may be good and sufficient reasons for drop ping Drake. Washington and Grinnell non-state schools but where, oh, where, can there be justification for elimination of the Oklahoma Aggies? Kansas Aggies were accepted by the new organiza tion, so were Iowa Aggies (Amesl, but the Oklahoma Aggies, the fastest improving school in the conference, found the gate closed against them. I understand Dean Reaves, who represented Okla homa in the meeting, made a fight for the Aggies, but was told there was no room for them and that the Sooners could either come in without their compatriots or go to the bow-wows. Perhaps I am wrong, but I am sorry the dean did not display traditional Oklahoma independence and spunk by takinw the latter alternative. ' MOTIVES QUESTIONABLE That the meeting waa held in secret and kept secret for a week naturally opens it to suspicion. It is inconceivable that any good can come of an organization sponsored by individuals or schools afraid to transact business in the open especially when that organization is composed of state universities and col leges standing for fair-square dealing. Any deal that has to be put over in secret isn t worthy of support by the public. PASSINC THE BUCK It is significant, too, the way the buck is being passed, now that the plot has been uncovered. In the final analysis, however, it can be checked back directly to Nebraska. It was Nebraska which swung the big stick and told those who quibbled over exclusion of the Oklahoma Aggies, that there wsra't any room for Oklahoma's sec ond member of the Valley and made them like it. The Cornhuskers swore vengeance on the Oklahoma Aggies from the time they entered the Valley, and this desire for vengeance was heightened when Maully's men made :-S with the Valley football championship last fall. It is to be presumed that it was Cornbusker propa ganda which prevented the Aggies getting a representa tive srheuule this falL The Cornhuskers propose to rule the new league with the ruthlessness of a kaiser if the thing ever does materialize. CHEER UP, AGGIES To the Aggies I would say: "Be ot rood cheer. Your state has not deserted Too. You showed admirable fortitude last fall in fighting your way through to the Missouri Valley football champion ship in spite of the fact of cutting ridicule from those who betrayed you in this case. Stay right in there and pitch." WORTHY FOES Though the Oklahoma Aggies are tht newest mem ber of the Valley conference, they have proved worthy '""'improvements In stadium and equipment are beSng mud at the gullwalar institution which will mean even snore rapid development. No one in the conference today need be ashamed of aa alliance with this school. outstanding importance. Mr. Doane, the librarian, last year remarked that the gift collections in the library weTe unusually small in number. That state schools could be benefitted by private contributions is beyond question. Buildings, equipment, endowments for professorships and scholarships, will always be of value to a growing institution. The state university is financed by the people of the state. As a result there may have grown up a feel ing that one's duty to the University is completed when taxes are paid. And when anything is compulsory, most people seem"to go further with reluctance. Cer tain it is that persons of wealth in this state and other states, have not been educated to the advantages of contributing to state educational institutions. Individuals contribute to private schools without hesitation, schools without the drawing power of the state university. Individuals contribute works of art to municipal parks and art galleries, collections of books to libraries. Those interested in charity contri bute to municipal relief and aid organizations. It seems equally logical to look for contributions to the educa 4tional institutions of the state, the institutions in which the bulk of the state's youth is trained, and where needed equipment and professors can be utilized most fully in the interests of the state and its youth. Notices The Student Council seems to be seriously consid- ering the Varsity Party question. They argued so long yesterday that the meeting was called on account of darkness. Now the candidates for chairman, which, of course, is the important position, are to appear in per son before the Council to settle the difficulty. It looks like a fair selection after all. 5?!SS!NG DONORS Private schools and charitable institutions have been favored since the opening of the twentieth cen tury by extensivo donations from individuals due to the tremendous increase in individual wealth. Up to the present, however, endowments, gifts, and special funds which have been distributed to schools and insti tutions have found their way but rarefy into the hands of b'u.le institutions of learning. That it has been the case is cause for wonder. True, Jlr. Rockefeller has contributed extensively to ttte schools for .nedical research. There have been other. Ff.it on the whole, state institutions appear to .;t br-n overlooked by the donors of large sums for i 'optional purposes. 7'. T-e our own University for example.

At the beginning of last year's football season, attendance at rallies was very meager probably because students did not realize the necessity of pep gather ings. Perhaps they thought the Nebraska team was invincible. Perhaps the small attendance was due to laziness. Friday night dates undoubtedly kept some away. Near the close of the season, when students real ized the important part the rally plays in stirring up interest, attendance increased. The crowd that rallied the night before the New York-Nebraska game seemed nearly as large as a Dempsey-Tunney fight mob. That was the right spirit. That was one reason why Ne braska won that game. A large and successful rally cannot be put over by two or three hundred students in a school having twenty-five times that many enrolled. Everyone must co-operate. It is easy to imagine what members of the team are thinking when they go to rallies and find just a few of the students there, generally personal friends, to stir up enthusiasm for the largest school in the Valley. The test will come Friday evening when loyal students get together for the initial rally of the year. Alpha Kappa Psl Alpha Kappa Psi meeting will be held Thursday at 7:00 P. M. in the Commercial Club room. Sophomore Managers All sophomores wishing to act as foot ball managers this season should report at the stadium as soon as possible. Senior and junior managers will be there to meet those who turn out.

Radio Program To the Editor: I am a swimming enthusiast who cannot under stand why the University of Nebraska does not have a swimming team. There are many University students who are swimming under the colors of the Y. M. C. A. Why are their efforts not utilized in representing the University. Investigation discloses that iwenty-five former and present record holders of high schools, Y. M. C. A.s, and athletic clubs in Nebraska and other states are now attending the University of Nebraska. I know there are many other excellent swimmers registered in the University who are not generally known, but who would make good material for a swimming team. It is a known fact that the University has at its disposal a man who could coach a swimming team. I wonder why he is not being used to develop these men? With the Y. M. C. A. pool at the disposal of the University, a host of good material and a man qualified to coach the team, I do not see why the University of Nebraska does not have a swimming team. Any arguments? G. W. H. To the Editor: Perhaps it is useless to address those no longer in school, but nevertheless, this comment is directed to the few fortunate senior women who were elected to the senior women's honorary society a year ago last June. None of that august body may ever read it. Yet it may serve a purpose if it impresses at all the senior women at present members of the society. It is ridiculous to assume that everv senior wr,m may be elected to one of the coveted posts of a member oi me organization mentioned. Membership in it, as we have been lead to believe, is based on meritorious service and tested and proved ability, such qualifications naturally eliminating the majority of candidates. That in itself keeps membership exclusive. Then, it is logical to belice that such a society would certainly represent the finest qualities of decision and fairness in exercising the selection of members to perpetuate the organiza tion. Yet even bolstered up by such protection, the society certainly appeared in an unfavorable light last June. Withhold your wrath a moment; the women elec ted were all desirable and deserving; it is the women who were not elected that has caused this article to be written. Offhand, three names drift into my mind, as University women who most certainly deserved election yet they were left OUT, while the school marveled.' Why was it that they were not elected? With the elastic membership clause of the honor ary society granting privilege for three more members the other places were finally vote.d vacant, and three deserving women were excluded from their rightful places. Why was it that the deserving three whose re cords had marked them publicly for election, found their excusable ambitions quickly quenched in those Jml minCt6S f mlu,kinS 0" the campus lasl What has been done, however, cannot be undone. Eut it is perfectly appropriate to address the present membership, with all due respect to their membership and prestige, that they do not commit the same fatal error of ejecting worthy women from deserved elec tion next June. Absurd prejudices and petty jealousies do creep m, but it will be . far g.ter tri' ute to the present body if. in selecting member, to perpetuate the onran.zat.on, they exhibit the finest qualities of i?ttheenm"stn "d ChSe Wmen "hrf A.

The Corn Cobs, in uniform, will assist the band and cheer leaders at this pep session. At 5 o'clock the Corn Cobs will staVt their house-to-house tour of sororities to increase the pep in these organizations. In the Coliseum, at 7:15, the first football rally of the year will start. As a part of the program, Coach Bearg is expected to talk, and the rallying students will also hear from his assistants in regard to the Corn- husker team. Captain Jug Brown and other members of the team will ad dress the Nebraskans. The Univer sity quartet will be a feature of the entertainment. Sidles, Dox, and Childs, cheer leaders, are anxious to have as many as possible out to the rally so that they may become familiar with Ne braska yells, and songs in time for the Saturday game with Iowa State. This first rally will represent a pattern which is to be followed throughout the year in rallies. No long speeches will be on the pro gram, .but short snappy talks, and novel entertaining features, will be offered. THURSDAY, September 29 :80 to 9:4S a. m. Weather report and announcements.

(Other periods silent.) dents the necessity to study harder the first year in order to secure a good basic education. Mr. Marti de clares that a freshman must have a period of readjustment, and he ad vises that fraternities and sororities pledge only sophomores, and that freshmen not be allowed to take part in any activities. He says that the world is in need of types of men and women and each one should learn tolerance, ser vice, and ethical standards. He par ticularly scorns 'petting, and de clares that the student should look for the finer things in life, should go to church if he desires, and to af filiate himself with the Y. W. or Y. M. C. A. work. One of his impor tant and amusing points was, "how can we be leaders of men when we are followers of women?" He advises physical training for all rather than athletics carried on, on a semi-professional scale. He ad vises fraternities and sororities for students interested in social life but adds that they take up a great deal of a student's time. He closed his talk by encouraging students to take up activities of merit, which require ability and which enrich the student in practical knowledge. C. D. Hayes, secretary of the Uni versity Y. M. C. A. introduced Lloyd Marti as a graduate of the law school of the university, the Ivy Day orator of last June and a man now inter ested in the practical study of law, with the firm of Perry and Van Pelt. Mr. Hayes announced the speaker for next week as Professor Old father, of the Classics department of the university.

DATE SET FOR SOOSA CONCERT ' (Continued from Page 1) vidual stunts. The various instru ments and their part in the ensem ble will be described by Mr. Clarence Russell, formerly superintendent of schools at Pittsburg, Mass., and now librarian with Sousa's Band. "Make it snappy" is Sousa's slo gan, and he carries the idea into his programs. "We have speeded up the production of music to suit the pre sent age," says the lieutenant com mander, "and this season there is no single number on my program that occupies as much as ten minutes. Thus I get more numbers into the concert." The University of Nebraska is sponsoring Sousa's Band as part of a policy of bringing the best of cul tural attractions to Lincoln. Last year the Detroit Symphony concert played in the Coliseum, and in March of 1928 the Chicago Grand Opera Company will make its appearance there.

It was voiced that the prime duty of a freshman should be to cultivate leadership in order to fit himslef for positions of respon sibility in later years, whether in school or in business. "Not only should we do things for ourselves," declared Mr. Hayes, "but also for others. It brings out our personality." The attitude toward school was an important question raised during the course of the evening. Not only the freshman's attitude toward the uni versity as it is today but toward the traditions of the institution was giv en thorough consideration. The gen eral thought seemed to be that the freshman does not necessarily have to follow the traditions of the school; instead he should become critical at the start and bein forming opinions which he may be able to put into ef fect when he becomes an upperclass man. In this connection the ques tion, "What is Wrong with the Uni versity, arose and, according to President Hunt, it shall be the topic for discussion at the next meeting, Wednesday evening of next week The council will meet this after noon to consider those applying for general chairmen of the dance com- South Dakota Graduate Sees First Football Game in Twenty Yean Vermillion, S.

Since his graduation from the Uni versity in 1902, Dr. Hanson lias spent many years in South America en- gaged in yellow fever extermination. About two years ago he completed his work there and began his at tack upon the last yellow fever out post in the world, western Africa, where he has spent the1 last year and a half. He noted the great contrast be tween the game as he last saw it and as it is played now. He missed the big "goosepiles" or massing plays of old days and marveled at the forward passing and the unusual shifting of the backfield. He noted with ap. proval the absence of injuries during the game and the great improvements made in the playing field and in the accomodation of the spectators.

He stated that there was a danger of over-emphasizing academic work but that it was not very prevalent amo:ig the aver age students.
