PARENT EDUCATION
Out of the mixture of races and creeds which
comes to the state university, it is inevitable that some
evil will result; yet the benefits from such a condition
are surely worthy of commendation. People are too
apt to criticize a school as large as Nebraska, while
the ones who should be the most interested, are perhaps
totally in the dark regarding what is supposed to go
on at the University.
These people are the parents of the students.
Many of them are mislead and prejudiced against the
University, no doubt, because they have been influen
ced by criticism which comes from those who know
nothing of the mechanism of a great school, its ideals
and methods.
For that purpose, a letter has been sent out to the
parents of all new students. It is authoritative, having
been carefully prepared by the collaboration of the
Dean of Women, Amanda Heppner and the Dean of
Student Affairs, T. J. Thompson. The letter is inform
ative; it is comprehensive, and it is unprejudiced. It
attempts to set forth in concise terms the living condi
tions, opportunities for amusements, expenses, and
scholastic needs which confront the student. The letter
was sent out some time ago, but the purpose it attempts
to accomplish is just beginning.
"Stiirfpnfai in this tvne of an institution enjoy a
larger degree of freedom and personal responsibility
than the average boy or girt Has Known aucn iree-
dom to some is a source of strength, while to others,
it is detrimental .the average student will do bet
ter work with a limited amount of wholesome relaxa
tion,. but excess often interferes with a good
scholastic record."
Certainly such Information is , open and frank
enough. Continuing, the letter warns, "The student's
scholarship is of prime importance.. ..for in the last
analysis,. your son or daughter is judged by his
scholarship record."
Certain sections of the letter are devoted to esti
mates of justifiable expenses incurred, the position of
a fraternity or sorority in student life, and a short
description of Lincoln.
Such a letter seems an advancement toward the
solution of a problem which has always been a thorny
one. If it is carefully read by all parents to whom it
is sent, there is no doubt that a fairer, less critical
attitude will be fostered toward the University, which
after all, is marred or made by the actions of its
students.
the past has called down the rath of these organizations
upon the head of the editor so that he was forced to
flee to escape bodily injury. Now the freshman, sopho
more and junior organizations maintain a deathlike
silence.
We suggest the following reasons fbr the apparent
lack of support:
1. The members maynot read the editorial col
umns of The Daily Nebraskan, and thus be unaware of
the attack.
2. The Organizations may have no organization to
defend them.
3. They may have no arguments to present.
4. Or they may prefer to remain silent whicn is
justifiable. We are not asking for speeches but activ
ities from them.
It now remains for the Student Council to call
the organizations to account and to decide for or
against them. The investigation, if seriously conducted,
could only mean that honoraries in the future will be
honoraries in more than name. One of two things will
result: r'ther some or all of them will cease to exist
entirely, or the investigation will wake them up and
make them a working force on the campus.
(Inasmuch as the ultimate object of these organi
zations seems to be to get their members into the senior
honoraries, the later course may be the more worth
while.)
Notices
THE
SPECTATOR
I observe that upon my regular publication date,
last Sunday, the Editor inserted a notice that I was ill.
However, he misinterpreted my Absence. My Readers
will recall that Saturday last was a glorious Day of
Sun and Breezes, and so Effective were these Elements
that while all others attended the football Game I took
myself off for a solitary Ramble in the Country. There
fore I failed to write my Column.
But today I am truly 111, and I shall compose no
Essay. My only reply to F. G., who attacked me in yes
terday's Paper, is one of Consolation for his lack of
understanding, and I would say to him that he need
not feel lonesome, for there are many others who,
like himself, are unable to understand The Spectator.
I venture to say that hardly any of the Freshmen know
what it is all about.

REPRESENTATIVE FRESHMEN?
In the inner sanctums of a fraternity house last
night the powerful and political members of Green
Goblins held a secret meeting to elect officers. The last
words spoken before the meeting closed were: "This
crooked political election of officers shall never be
announced to the public, as it would spoil the prestige
of our society. Therefore we will have a straight elec
tion (imagine that!) next Tuesday."
But the news has leaked out! And on the very
day that the Student Council considers the honorary
situation. What chance will this freshman organization
have when it is told in bold print that one ignorant
fraternity freshman, who had not been coached suffi
ciently, voted on the wrong side at the secret election?
Another freshman, who felt he should have been put
up for an office, threw a monkey wrench in the wheels
by joining the minority side in bewailing the crooked
ness of the election.
Now the society is in an uproar. Its members de
cided they would have a non-political election next
week. How can that take place when every member
belongs to a group which told him how to vote before
he went? It is impossible. That freshmen so young in
this University should get such a start, only reflects
upon what will happen to them by the time they reach
the upperclassman stage. And this organization is sup
posed to be composed of the honored members of the
freshman class. It is evident in what direction
they are going and, as the English say, they are going
strong.

To the Editor:
I hadn't noticed any material decrease in cprs
around Social Sciences building, but if such is the case
blessed indeed are the new parking rules.
In the winter when it is too co'i to have class
room windows open, and too cold for students to linger
long in the cars parked on 12th between R and VineJ
the trouble is less noticable. But in the fall! And in
the spring! Then the soul of the classroom student is
tried indeed!
Cranking and cutouts and motor horns are not a
pleasing accompaniment to a professor's lecture. Ten
years of such competition may explain many a boring
class hour. Ten years of such competition may explain
the flight of able professors to less noisy surroundings.
I even remember the time (about three years ago)
when cranking and cutouts and motor horns sank to
insignificance beside a greater annoyance. The owner
of some varsity wreck imported a portable victrola and
one record which was played consistently for several
hours.
If parking rules can deliver us from such as this
blessed are they!
M. L.
One upperclassman asked if a freshman wrote
the Spectator. We wager that Mr. Spectator will not
relish this insult n is seriously ill, however, and can
not defend himself.
. According to the Soap Box there are a number of
students who miss this column. So when the Spectator
recovers we will again ask him to contribute.

To the Editor of the Daily'Nebraskan and E. R. L.
May I rise to enquire just why E. R. L. desires
to have the parking space about the school abolished?
That worthy person may have a very definite idea as
to just where the students and faculty would park
their cars if there were no parking around the school
but he failed to mention it
Between you and me and the proverbial gatepost,
I think that E. R. L. has a grudge he (or she) is work
ing off. What's the matter, E. R. L., isn't there any
place for your car when you get down; or won't any
body give you a ride; or haven't you a car and you are
just jealous; or have you a pet peeve at the students
in general?
I might even say the world in general, for if the
University would adopt this scheme to beautify the
campus, maybe the city of Lincoln would do that all
over town. It would be a short step then to other
towns in the country, then the state, and then our coun
try. Alas, that this should ever be! It might be a great
idea, E. R. L., but what would we do with all of the
cars? Just think of the decline in price, the prohibition
of them, their bulk when it would come to bootlegging
them. It would throw the world into a panic because of
the collapse of one of the largest industries. This takes
on a very serious aspect Mr. Editor, it is quite evident
that such a plan is radical in form. Therefore E R. L
is a dangerous citizen and should be reprimanded in
some way.
Let us think no more about a sifly plan sucH as is
suggested without some remedy. It is easy to kick but
h " harder to remedy. Now E. R. L either offer a plan
to take the present method's place, or forever hold
your peace. u
Yours for more, bigger, and better parking places

The Man Who

(Continued from Page 1)
an unreasoning jealousy. The Kai
ser, they point out, was himself the
possessor of a handsome set of mus
tachios, but in the matter of whis
kers he was a pauper. Undoubtedly
the Kaiser endeavored to acquire a
set of whiskers as effulgent as those
owned by Mr. Sousa. Failing in this,
he went into a blind rage that only
a war of the costliest proportions
could allay.
Sousa Reveals Secret
All through the war Mr. Sousa car
ried the secret of the whiskers in
his heart, and sorrow was his por
tion. One night he was a guest at
an officers' mess aboard a man-of-war,
where the talk was all of the
desperate condition of the Allied
armies and of the rapid strides Ger
many was making. Being unable to
stand the strain any longer, Mr.
Sousa stood up and said:
"Gentlemen, I can end this war!"
"How?" they asked.
"By shaving off my whiskers."
For a moment there was complete
silence. Then there were cries of

"No, no," as some of the senior offi
cers pleaded with him not to take so
rash a step. But Sousa told them all,
and at last a vote was agreed upon.
By the narrow margin of one vote
the verdict was that the whiskers
should go.
That night Sousa shaved, said the
war ended soon after.

Many fraternities and sororities
are planning Dads' banquets for Sat
urday evening. It is hoped that these
Greek-letter organizations will not
invite the dads to the noon meal, as
that would be in competition with
the traditional downtown luncheon
which has been planned.

votes to be counted in the high ten.
In the case of the women, the voting
is very close. Students are to be
chosen on merit of their interest in
general university activities, in social
activities; their scholastic record and
their rating as a true Cornhusker
with the highest of Nebraska ideals.
The representatives are to be chosen
solely on their respective abilities and
their service rendered to the school.
There is to be no campaigning of
any sort by fraternities, sororities,
and other organizations or the candi
dates will be disqualified.
The main purpose of this contest
is to have in the 1928 Cornhusker a
representative student section com
posed of the four women and four
men who are elected. The Cornhus
ker sales are progressing and a large
number of annuals have already been
sold. Students may purchase books
from the solicitors on the campus or
from the Cornhusker office in the
basement of University Hall.
