Washington. Colonel Jewett ordered the collars on the
uniform rolled down, pressed and the hooks taken off.
After the blessed work was accomplished word was re
ceived from Washington that R. 0. T. C. uniforms
would still be worn with the high collars. They may
at some schools but not at Nebraska.
You may look forward to revolution in the cadet

KNEE DEEP IN HONORARIES
Deliberation beforehand with no regret afterwards
seems to be the policy of the Student Council who does
not feel informed enough to voice a decision as to when
the "Day of Judgment" will sound for the honorary or
ganizationsif it ever does sound.
A weighty problem deserving of deep consideration
is this "honorary existence question wuu --
brought upon the carpet time and time again only to
be stilled by the unknown (and the "unknown' on the
campus is none other than the King Politics).
Two hundred organizations on a campus which is
surely not able to support more than fifty is Nebras
ka's score for dispute. The single activity that the great
majority of these groups perform does not seem as im
portant to them as the net revenue of ten to fifteen
dollars a head. The initiate may plume himself upon his
success, but how much benefit does he get? True, he
has landed in the garden of Tradition, but even Tradi
tion is not surrounded by iron fences which have a right
tn cet the best of reason.
A few extracts from opinions voiced by Council
members who seemed to be debating wnetner to ao or
rot to do" deserve mention: "Essential to school Hie
"Try and formulate a plan of reforming and assist them
in finding useful things to do"; "Class honoraries do
what other organizations would be burdened with";
"There's even an organization which goes to class elec
tions and elects officers"; "Some alumnae said that they
were ready to turn in their pins when they found out
tha hnnnrriB were a waste of time"; "Let the matter
ride over until the next meeting"; "Publication cam
p;.. could not get along without tho honoraries";
"A necessary element but there should be a limit";
"They could help with the Student Council convention".
Investigating the duties performed last year will
be the Council's first step. This, at least, should let
the honoraries know that to live they must work. If the
Council serves as an inspiration for the better, there's
another feather for the Council's cap of deeds for 1927
28. The presidents may even be called before trial.
What sort of a trial student judges will be able to give,
and what sort of answers the presidents will be quali
fied to give, or?e should not attmept to speculate as yet.
The Tassels and Corncobs were rated as "service
organizations" here's more power to them! Depart
mental groups may be asked to lay their cards upon
the table after class honorary battles are over and
settled for the better. One of the honorary clubs, it
was just discovered by accident, meets during the year
on May 15, and then in order to elect new members.
If class honoraries could this late in the game be
christened "societies", perhaps the name would elimin
ate expecting the impossible, much work tempered with
a little play. But the opportune time must now roll
around, since the Student Council has put its big finger
into an enormous pie which will involve a battle mean
ing life or death.
Rome was Jiot built in a day, and the Student Coun
- cil is viewing honoraries through Roman glasses in or
der to reach an ace-high fair decision.
I have come to the University to study and now
find I can only attempt to study. Lectures, particular
ly in Social Science Hall, are punctuated and punctured
by raucous horns, self-starters, and misfires. Also the
inhabitants of these cars repress neither laughter nor
speech while professors are unable to compete with
them.
Am I super-sensitive or does this annoy others el
so? These cars are parked on twelfth Street north of
R. Could this street not be closed?

THE ARMY IS GOING TO THE DOGS
There was a time when an army flier was consid
ered a coward if he flew with a parachute strapped
to his back. In spite of ridicule, however, some brave
spirits, cowards in th orthodox conception, decided
they would rather be live cowards than dead heroes
and wore the parachute. Eventually the War Depart
ment made it mandatory for every man to wear a
parachute when in the air. Just a mere matter of com
mon sense.
Now the War Department has again evidenced
cerebral activity. The high stand-up collar has been re
placed by the roll collar similar to that (worn in the
British army. The fact that the English blouse has had
a roll collar for several years may or may not be a
reflection upon our War Department.
As in the case of the parachutes, many army men
held that the high collar was conducive to better dis
cipline and better drilling, a more military bearing.
The question of physical and mental comfort was con
sidered by some unmentionable in the same breath
with military efficiency and discipline; a peculiar view
point It may be a fatal concession, the opening wedge
for the complete breakdown of army morale to some
of the war dogs, but it is a boon to the buck privates
in the rear rank.
By the way, when you are out drilling in the hot
suil and you feel no more that insidious tightening
about your neck and you want to thank somebody for
the relief give praise to Colonel Jewett. But reserve
so"1 thanks for an unknown, if inefficient, hero in
Dear Editor:
In view of the fact that the Cosmopolitan Club is
considered to include all foreign students on the cam
pus, we should like to state that as a matter of fact, not
all foreign students belong to it; namely, the Russian
students who have nothing in common with this organi
zation at the present time, and therefore are not respon
sible for any of its activities.
The reasons of our withdrawal from the Cosmopoli
tan Club may be stated as follows: During the several
years of its existence, we feel the organization demon
strated that it ia not worthy to bear its title. The con
stitution declares that the aim of the club is inter-racial
and international friendship; elimination of racial, na
tional, and religious prejudices; its motto, tolerance.
In spite of such declarations, the majority of the
club voted against three negro students who applied
for membership. This fact proved that the majority
either doesn't know what the Cosmopolitan Club is for,
or doesn't understand the meaning of "Cosmopolitan
ism . We therefore decided to reorganize the club,
Five proposals were made by the Russian group :
1. That scholarship should be a requirement. (Not
below 70).
2. Dues should be not above one dollar, (instead
of four dollars)..
3. Each nationality should have one vote, to elimi
nate the evil of dominance of one nationality over ano
ther. 4. In the case of a new applicant, it should be up
to the executive committee to see whether the applicant
fulfills the requirments. If so, he automatically be
comes a member.
5. There should be only one evening for dances
during the whole year.
The last was proposed because of the noticed ten
dency in tho past years of a considerable number of
dances which caused large expenses. Dances became an
epidemic in the Cosmopolitan Club while the ideals of
the club were gradually forgotten.
These statements were not accepted. The members
who proposed them were mocked. We have therefore
decided that the best policy would be to leave this or
ganization and not be responsible for the "Cosmopoli-i
tan" work which the Cosmopolitan Club continues to"
carry out.
Yours most cordially,
Joseph Sorkin

YOUNG RAY WELCH
Youth has its sorrows and its tragedies in the play
world, and while the incidents may seem trivial and in
significent in the stern realities of the everyday life,
they are nevertheless sharp and painful.
There was young Ray Welch, sterling Purdue half
back. Unheralded and unknown, young Mr. Welch
stepped forth upon the field at Harvard's stadium and
single-handed defeated a Crimson team to give Purdue
more football glory than it had known in all the years
of the gridiron sport. Purdue had been one of the un
derdogs of the Big Ten conference. It had been kicked
and cuffed around until no one paid any attention to it

ted that women's schools have
strange rules in regard to their stu
dents but that these schools are
founded by women who have expe
rienced such ruling in large men's
schools.
Subject of Mind Reaction
The subject of the mind reaction
in regard to students vho go to sep
arate institutions was particularly
denounced by Miss Schaupp. She
attempted to show that students who
attend men's and women's schools
do not possess 'filthy minds, even in
the minority, but that they compare
with the best of students in mental
activity.
Miss Schaupp emphasized the fact
that eastern schools are more cosmo
politan in atmosphere, and that in
women's schools, the students have e
greater interest in politics and ec
onomics. In regard to collegiate
"flivvers," she declared that she did
not agree with Ramsay in his liking
for them. She gave her opinion of
the noises of these flivvers as vulgar.
Although time cut her speech, she
concluded by adding that she firmly
believed in mens' and womens' insti
tutions.
The meeting was attended by
about one hundred and forty stu
dents. The speaker chosen for next
Wednesday is Sheldon Tefft, recently
returned Rhodes scholar. He .will
talk on the subject of comparison of
American and English universities.

of the elephant; from the first, which
was about the size of a large dog, to
the ones now existing. The collec

beginning with the oldest form will
be arranged in chronological order
on the lower floor of Morrill hall.
Another interesting study is a mo
del of a bullsnake being made by Mr.
George Herzog.
Due to their scales, snakes and fish
are extremely hard to handle for
museum display. There Is no hair
or feathers as in the case of mam
mals and birds, to smooth over
wounds or cuts. So in the best mu
seums these "fakes" are being dis
played. They are made perfectly
realistic, showing every scale of the
original, and are much more satis
factory both from the standpoint of
artistic mounting and effective
study.
A plaster paris cast is made around
the original specimen, from which a
model is cast in plaster paris or cel
luloid. This7 is painted in life-colors,
and is a true reproduction of the
animal. A rattlesnake made this
way is now on display in Morrill hall,
as well as several species of fish.
Rare Species of Birds
Found Living in Black
Hills of South Dakota
One of the rarest birds in the
world lives in the Black Hills of
South Dakota. It is the White
winged Junco, and according to W.
H. Over, curator of the museum at
the University of South Dakota, eggs
of the little creature which are on
exhibition in the museum at the Uni
versity are the first to be found by
man.
The birds were first discovered in
the Black hills by Mr. Over when
he noticed them feeding near the
stable of a barn. Nests of the small
bird were found later by the curator
near a deserted sawmill. The birds
are about the size of an English spar,
row, and are slate-colored with light
grey breasts, and a distinct white
band across the wings. They do not
fly south in the winter as do most
birds, but stay in the Black hills the
year around.
The common Junco is found in
many Bttes in the country and is a
plain, slate-colored bird. The White
winged Junco, however, is slightly
larger than the common Junco and
has the white band across the wings.
The adult bird feeds on the seeds of
grasses and weeds, but feeds its
young on insects.
