WE TIP THE HAT
The Daily Nebraska takes off its hat to the
Awgwan. The "Eye-Opener" number came out Mon
Torning, and was scanned at first with a good
Sl7t scepticism, it is admitted But the m.rade
haa happened. The Awgwan has "clicked . The first
number is full of wit and drollery that ,s excellent.
It is clean fun. And it has variety; its contents, are
both brief and lengthened, in a rollicking assortment
of local action as seen through the eyes and pens of
the University humorists.
The most appealing factor, and one which will
continue to draw the most favorable comment if the
policy of stressing campus happenings is followed is
the fact that the new Awgwan is something that be
longs to the University, because it is full of laughable
patter that happened on this campus. There are wise
and subtle jibes directed at organizations and individ
uals, and short bits of humor that are absurdly funny.
Keep up the work of stressing local humor, Awgwan.
That is your strongest point. Comic publications of
former years have seemed alienated from University
life because they were too apt to be re-prints of what
other colleges were doing along the line of humorous
writing. The Awgwan has taken off the stopper of
campus fun which is bottled up here, so the succeeding
issues will be eagerly looked forward too as truely
witty cross-sections and funny revelations on students
and faculty, as noted by the keen wits of the campus.
If it's real humor, it's worth printing in the Awgwan.
PLEASE VOTE ONLY ONCE
Today is election day! The Daily Nebraskan has
expressed its sentiments about clean elections, and is
now waiting in a crouching position for the outcome.
If the old storry of passing out extra ballots arises,
the matter will probably go to the authorities. If the
election is clean for a change, the credit goes to James
Jensen, president of the Student Council, who seems
to be making every possible effort to change political
tendencies at Nebraska. It is high time that this Uni
versity has a straightforwarrd election. The Daily
Nebraskan will be pleasantly surprised if it does.
of Lincoln, who hire students for odd-jobs, think the
Agricultural students 'are more efficient when work

Nevertheless, both bureaus are performing a real
service to students, and they should.be commended
for their fine work.

NEED A JOB?
The student employment bureau at the College
of Agricculture under the supervision of Prof. T. H.
Goodding, found employment for 110 men, sixty-nine
in the college and forty-one in the School of Agricul
ture during the school year 1926-27. These positions
brought in an approximate total of $21,714.61. Thirty
permanent part-time jobs were secured through this
bureau, the majority of which meant board and room
at least. Calls were received for 530 part-time jobs,
300 of the calls coming from over 100 people off of
the campus.
It is difficult to state in dollars and cents how
much that office has meant to the student body of
the College of Agriculture since men have a habit of
paassing jobs on to their friends for which the employ
ment office receives no credit. By glancing at these
figures, however, it is easily seen what an enormous
help this employment committee has been to students
who need financial aid. Hundreds of students have
been helped financially so they may continue in scho
As compared to the bureau at the College of
Agriculture the university employment bureau, under
the direct supervision of the University, received 847
applications for part-time jobs during the school
year of 1626-27. This bureau placed 237 students in
part-time positions and 363 for odd-jobs, securing a
total of 600 positions for University students. The
total enumeration from the positions secured by the
University bureau approximated $47,407.83, an in
cease of over C7.000 during 1925-26.
Taking the inccome made by students who se
cured positions through both of the employment bu
reaus, the total amounts to $69,122.44. Students
earned this amount and still maintained good scholastic
standing in the University.
The College of Agriculture employment bureau
appears to be a little more efficient when the number
f students in the College of Agriculture are com
pared with the number in other colleges of the Uni-
than are students in other colleges. Perhaps residents

Dear Editor:
Way back, when the great little game was just
getting under way, some merry soul thought to annoy
the honoraries by crying "Useless' and demanding
"What's your purpose?" Or perhaps it was an earnest
soul who started all the trouble (it generally is.) The
bewildered honoraries stoutly maintained their worth,
and hastened to muster proof of various commendaable
activities. The long, long fight was on. A series of
crusading Nebraska editoris let loose string upon
string of adjectives, but our Flowers that Bloom in
the Spring proved hardy little plants. And so they
are still with us.
The question before us is: Why class honoraries?
Their critics declare: that they perform no worthwhile
functions; that their members are chosen on the basis
of no definite merit; that they are silly, futile, and of
no use to gods and men.
What if the honoraries don't serve? What if they
don't point the way to larger and higher things? How
refreshing of them. Why should class honoraries be
uplift organizations? Or Cults of School Spirirt? As
a matter of fact, their critics always leave the phrases
about service to the school and so on conveniently un
defined. Who would presume to say, oh Socrates,
what constitutes the best type of service to one't
school?
As to the 6econd charge: Why should members
of honoraries prove their worth once they have been
elected? (Goodness knows it was hard enough before.)
Election to an honorary anywhere should be regarded
as recognition, not as an invitation to zealous effort.
Moreover, a slight survey shows that the members of
class honoraries are those serious ones who are making
every effort to achieve Mortar Board or Innocents
as the climax to their cursus honorum. (Unfortun
ately I have no statistics.) Another case, it's true, of
many being called and few chosen, due to the seeming
inelasticity of the number thirteen. After all, election
to the majority of the world's societies means nothing
more nor less than that one has been found not ob
noxious in the eyes of its members. And that is an
honor or not, depending on how one values the judg
ments of one's peers.
Now let us consider the futility of the societies in
question (and that gives us much to ponder.) Cer
tainly their names are sufficient excuse for existence.
It makes the campus seem more sprightly, somehow,
to know that Green Goblins, Mystic Fish, Vikings and
so on arc in our midst. Who could claim that a flower
by any other name would smell as rweet? Then, un
doubtedly, membership in such a society makes one
feel a bit superior to one's fellow men. Who would
begrudge anyone this slight satisfaction? Indeed, I
suggest that what we need is more, not less, honoraries,
so that each and every one of us is given a chance to
feel superior to some one. In a democracy, nothing
is so satisfying as a title.
I suppose it is too much to hope that we hear no
more about it.

To the Editor:
Continuing from Sunday's paper, I should like to
direct a few well-chosen words against The Daily
Nebraskan. It's the same old question of honoraries,
but now we'll view the subject from a different angle
The case to date is an accumulation of evidence against
the honorary societies as they now exist simply life
less organizations that are doing nothing to deserve
the importance and prestige they give their members
.u1B campus, iney are inactive, and are simply
parasite cliques that, for some mysterious reason are
regarded as mighty by the ones outside. Which is
all untrue. It seems now as though all this fire of
reform ,, ; not serving its purpose, as far as trying to
attract the attention of The Daily Nebraska,! con
Mr. Editor, are you going to recognize this very
vital problem, or are you going to disregard it as unim
portant? I believe that the "policy of no policy" of
The Daily Nebraskan to be very commendable, but in
a situation such as this, it appears necessary for the
paper to take some sort of a stand on the problem if
the paper is to try any good work in the way of solving
and abolishing certain campus evils. Some sort of ac
tion needed. The honoraries will either continue
their ornamental, actionless existence, or they could be
forced to display action and prove their worth to the
University. Or there is the third possibility of dis
solving such dilly-dallying organizations as groups un-

A new wrinkle was thrown into
the election contest with rumors late
Monday that Norris Chadderdon was

Factional politicians were reported
busy strumming up trade for him.
Norman Gray represents one faction.

were that his supporters were pre

appears on the ballot is reported to

As usual a girl is in the field for
freshman president. For several years
a girl has been on the ballot but has
never been able to poll more than a
small vote. Margaret Dailey is run
ning this year against George Mor
rison and George Kennedy. Maurine
Drayton is expected to have an easy
time, being the only candidate up for
student council representative to fill
the vacancy in the Teachers' College.
Underweight In Commonest Ailment
Of University Girls States Doctor
By Florence A. Seward
"Who is next?" queried the brisk
voice of Dr. Inei Philbrick, as Bhe
glanced into the waiting room of the
Student Health Bureau, where sev
eral students were waiting to see her.
I moved forward, having seized the
double opportunity of interviewing
Dr. Philbrick, and obtaining medical
aid for a sprained ankle. We en-,
iered her private office. "Now what
can I do far you?" she questioned.
Dr. Philbrick never wastes time as
she has none to waste. She smiled
pleasantly, however, when questioned
as to her work with university girls.
"The commonest trouble wo have
with university girls," she stated,
clipping her words with decision, "is
a condidtion of underweight It
seems to be the fashion of thinness
which causes this, although I will say
that girls are getting more sensible
in this respect now, and are not
starving themselves the way they
have been doing going without
breakfast and the like. They do not
eat properly, nor a sufficient amount
of tissue-building foods.
"Focal infections I would place
second," she continued. "This cov
ers all sorts of troubles with tonsils,
sinuses, and pulpless teeth." Ana
emic conditions are directly associa
ted with such troubles. j
Foot Trouble Prevail
"Then we have many foot trou
bles. Strained arches, warts, corns,
and sprained ankles. These sprains
are caused, in my judgment, by low
shoes, and incorrect types of shoes,
which do not give the proper sup
port. Orthopedic shoes lor campus
and class-room wear are the correct
thing for university girls to wear.
They are expensive, but of such fine
materials and workmanship, that
they will last a long time. Of course,"
she added, smiling, "girls may wear
party shoes for dress affairs, but
they are not good for school wear."
She left her office for a moment s
conference with Miss Anna Jacobs,
assisting nurse. Returning, Dr. Phil
brick immediately resumed the
thread of her discussion.
Treat a Doren Students a Day
"We see an average of about a
dozen students a day the majority
coming for advice and help in the
ailments I have already mentioned.
Then, we have a good many emer
gency cases sprains, cuts, burns,
and the like, the latter usually with
students in the Chemistry depart
ment. "Nervous breakdowns," she stated,
turning into a new vein, "are caused
by lack of sleep, which is universal
among (students jretting seven
hours' of sleep when they should
be getting nine. All this, together
with lack of sufficient food, and eat
ing improper food, are direct causes
of such widespread nervous disor
ders among university girls."
Praises Modern Girl
Questioned concerning the general
level of university girls' health, Dr.
Philbrick was as prompt in giving
commendation as she was in censur
ing the defects in the average health
code of a university girl. "The girls
who come to university today are in
better physical condition than those
of ten or fifteen years ago. This is
because high schools and elementary
schools are removing many causes
