ON TRIAL
The Awgwan, Nebraska's monthly comic maga
zine will be ready for distribution Monday. From
advance reports, the "Eye-Opener" number ought to
be up to the minute in content, both printed matter
and illustrations. If the first issue comes up to the
mark in presenting the finest in clean humor, it will
receive the support it deserves as a University of Ne
braska publication.
Because of the arresting cleverness of the title,
the Awgwan has received unusual attention the coun
try over, in addition to the campus reputation it has
acquired. The staff now in office has a big job on its
hands, and one which has not the pleasant taste of
success behind it The present staff can, anf should,
do a lot to erase the unfortunate impression created
by the Awgwan not so long ago.
There is no use trying to evade or beat about
the bush in regard to it. The Awgwan has been guilty
in the past, of printing matter which was not the
clean type of fun expected. Perhaps it created a stir.
No doubt it stimulated circulation among a certain
class of people because of the suggestiveness of the
convents, bat it certainly did not add to the fame of
the magazine as a producer of clean, collegiate humor.
The situation was sutticient to cause aei.uuo
j: Vw. nnhlirAtion on the campus. The Aw-
aiscuiiiuiuius r - . .
irwan has a purpose on this campus that of providing
an outlet for the humorous sianra on
The school abounds with them.
There is an abundance of clean fun and many lu
dicrous events happening around the school, so much
real humor, that it is entirely unnecessary for the
Awgwan to dip into the lurid streams of questionable
humor to be a popular comic magazine.
The Awgwan is on trial. The first number will do
a lot toward determining whether the magazine can
vindicate itself, and assume the position it deserves
on the campus. It can be a hilariously funny publica
tion, full of the wit that is present on the campus.
But the preseut staff must remember the snanowy cir
cumstances that once enveloped the Awgwan if they
are to publish a magazine worthy of student and fac
ulty support.
ECKERSALL USES THE BREAKS
Picture a modern football stadium and the usual
colorful crowd.
For three quarters, two struggling teams have been
battling as fiercely as if the destinies of two countries
might be raised to international heights or cast into
political oblivion by the outcome. The mass of humans
watching the fray has become maddened by the tre
mendous suspense that grips their hearts and makes
their throats tighten as they see "their side" battling
to no avail against a hated rival for supremacy on
the field. As the final gun nears, the shot of which will
stop once and for all the terrific struggle below the
watchers, and the lowering sun casts its crimson glow
on the scene, forming a halo about the heroic figures,
it seems that neither side will retire victorious.
Suddenly, a spark of interest ignites, which quick
ly flames to a colorful glow of action. A mad scram
ble among the players, a shout, a flying ball, a dash,
and a player lying panting across the goal line, the
ball tucked close to his throbbing body. Half of the
watchers go mad with frenzied joyousness, which, held
back by the prolonged suspense, now overwhelms
them. The other half, although experiencing the bitter
sting of defeat, smile bravely back at the conquering
side.
The break in the game appears, and the winners
benefit by it.
According to Walter Eckersall, football critic, the
break in .a game is not a matter of luck, but the result
of clever coaching which teaches a team to take ad
vantage of. the break3. In an article written for a
recent number of "Liberty", he explains, "Converting
a fumble into a touchdown, catching defensive elevens
napping on trick plays, working the ball into a position
for a field goal by strategic attacks, or beating a team
by using its own style of play, ds not luck. These are
the result of clever coaching of teams to take advan
tage of opportunities." He also cites several instances
where games have been won by breaks.
There is still another factor which will create the
so-named break in the game. This is a team's fight.
We recall last year, 'and Nebraska's heart breaking
game with Washington- Perhaps it was a break which
started our nearly triumphant march down the field
in the last quarter, but it was sheer fight and grit that
carried the ball that long distance. In the past, Ne
braska fight has never failed to create a break at the
needed time, for when a Nebraska team is losing it is
fighting the hardest, and is keyed to the highest pitch,
ready to take the slightest opportunity to gain victory.
This season may bring no lucky breaks for Ne
braska. If breaks appear, as Eckersall says, perhaps
, they are not due bo much to lady luck as to science
This is an interesting phase of football to watch during
the season.
portunity for broadened life in the University.
There is a place for the small school. But it is
not the place for the abler students of a.high school
graduating class. The smaller college is of special ben
efit to the less able student who needs the extra indi
vidual attention possible in a smaller institution. Able
students can better secure their education in a large
university where they must face the competition of
other first-rate students.
That these students have been diverted from their
natural path, attendance at the state university is the
fault of the University itself. Most state schools offer
scholarships to graduates of accredited high schools
within the state. It would make relatively little dif
ference in the funds available for the use of the Uni
versity if such scholarships were offered m this state.
It would make a material difference in attracting the
better group of high school graduates to the Univer
sity. Furthermore, it would be a distinct advantage to
the state to have its most promising citizens trained
in the institution offering the greatest opportunities for
all-around development, the state university.

VICTORY IN DEFEAT!
While two hundred Nebraskans followed the Hus-kcr-Mizzou
game from the stands at Columbia, four
times that number gathered at KFAB Saturday after
noon to listen in on the play-by-play announcement to
send their support to the Cornhusker eleven via radio.
It was Nebraska spirit personified. Into the micro
phone went cheers given by the many hopeful Corn
huskers and directed by Corn Cobs and sophomore
cheerleaders. The band, not being able to go to Colum
bia, did its bit by appearing at KFAB to blare forth
Nebraska pep songs. And the effort was not wasted.
A telegram direct from the Missouri stadium informed
the announcer that the cheering from Lincoln was com
ing in fine, and was being re-broadcasted into the
stands at Columbia.
The whole spectacle resembled a miniature foot
ball game with the teams present only in the mc-iital
picture derived from the play-by-play announcement.
Spirit? Yes to the nth degree. Loyalty? Always.
Despite defeat, a cross-section of Nebraska stu
dents played their part in the great college game. Ne
braska spirit was again victorious.

To the Editor:
I am beginning to wonder, if, after all, I have
been talking to the dead, or heaping criticism upon the
heads of those who no longer exist. The suspense is be
coming unbearable. Where are the junior and under
class honoraries hiding themselves? Are they alive and
functioning, and if so WHAT are they up to? It seems
that along with their statue-like calmness, they have
added the startling power of speechlessness.
Thesa organizations have had sufficient time in
which to defend themselves, in this column, but so far,
all they have done is to preserve a mysterious silence.
As f or publicity for their actions, all they have printed
about themselves have' been highly colored by referen
ces to initiations and paddles. The Greek societies take
care of that; so it appears that along with other things,
the honoraries are guilty of overlapping other campus
organizations. The University of Nebraska cannot af
ford to foster groups that are doing nothing for the
school. Groups that are really working for the good
of the school, as the honoraries ought to be doing, jus
tify their existence, and deserve highest praise. My
opinion is that these class honoraries should be re
named class "inactionaries" as that is about the scope
of their activity.
How much longer are they going to continue their
existence? Can something be done towards dissolving
them, and if so, where could such action begin?

NO SCHOLARSHIPS
Practically every denominational college in the
Ftate of Nebrtska offers scholarships to high school
Ftudents. The University of Nebraska, state institution
U:ht it is, does not.
TLsj result has been that in recent years, the Uni
versity has failed to draw as large a proportion of the
U tter students of the state as would naturally be ex
retted. Lured by the temporary benefits of scholar
; , s, many high school students have missed their op-
To the Editor:
Univeisity students who have cars are beginning
to wonder where they will park them since the resolu
tion was passed by the City Council stating that park
ing between R and Vine on Twelfth must be parallel
to the curk. The resolution was passed to lessen the
danger of accident when two cars passed.
What about the remainder of Twelfth to the
business district? There is just as much traffic on this
street. Yet, nothing has been done. Parallel parking
is justifiable; in some cases, but in this instance, it de
creases the amount of parking space for students about
50 per cent.
Business men continue to park their cars in front
of their office buildings. Students are parking their
cars in alleys, on Ninth and Tenth Street, and on other
streets six or eight blocks from the campus. Some are
parking their cars in the down town district, decreasinc
space there, and forcing business men to park nearer
the campus. Surely this is not bettering the parking
condition oi the students.
Why should students be forced to park their
cars a half mile from the campus? More students have
arrived late for class during the past week than there
have from the opening of school to the time the reso.
lution was passed.
If the resolution is to be upheld, other facilities
for parking students' cars will have to be found. Per
haps one end of the drill field could be used to relieve
the situation. The ground adjoining the East Stadium
might serve the purpose.
Until some other arrangements are made, business
men will continue to park near the campus, depriving
students oi convenient parking space; students will
continue to be late for class; and the steady crumble
heard on the campus during the past week will steadily
increase.
