WANTED: UGLY DUCKLINGS
A veritable comedy of errors comes to mind upon
noting in one of the "Big Ten" dailies recently an ar
ticle headed "Pretty Women Are Seldom Successful.
For Business Men Fear to Help Them." I
Beauty certainly does not "lean that one is out
of the rank of the commonplace, and beauty does not
spell brains even if it does spell an appeal that those
lacking this sought-after i attribute lack.
"Pretty women are envied. They ought to be
pitied. If women realized the value of ugliness in
this progressive world, they would not spend their
spare hours poring intently over beauty secrets
and their bank accounts for facials."
reads the comment which might have been motivated
by low grades, decreasing enrollment, an over-expenditure
for the unessentials, or even a superiority com
plex among the beautiful which certainly does not af
ford any sort of a revealing glance of character.
Soothing to the homely girl is the statement that
"Business men do not associate a pretty physiognomy
with efficiency according to a Grand Rapids writer".
It is never too late to strengthen the Talais de Justice.
Then, perhaps, people will realize that beauty is only
skin deep, although it is a remarkably fine asset to be
endowed with both brains and beauty so that the beau
tiful girl need not be designated as "B. D. D."
(beautiful but dumb).
This beauty question holds an ace high position in
discussion, for it has been pondered over for ages, and
has merited remarks by an unmentionable number of
authors.
Milton in his. "Paradise Regained" vouchsafed the
following:
"Beauty stands
In the admiration of weak minds
Led captive".
Lytton in "Lr.dy of Lyons" gives us this true bit:
"Beautr is valuable or worthless according
as you invest the property to the
best advantage".
R. B. Sheridan in "Duenna" take in the "pro"
and the "con" of the matter when he wrote:
"Nothing keeps me in such awe as perfect
beauty; now, there is something consoling
and encouraging in ugliness".
It will probably be icy water flung at the faces
of the beautiful to know that their intelligence will
be questioned merely because they happen to be first
in fortune, but even the article itself essayed to quote
the Grand Rapids w liter, "One of the prettiest women
I ever eaw is almost a real professional success. But
not quite. Her friends attribute her near success to
her charm and beauty."
Now the question is To be beautiful or to be
glad of a lack of beauty. This is a true challenge to
an exchange of looks, and the bobbed hair species of
mankind who possess the "rare gift" should think twice
before priding themselves too much.
Every person's tyrant is Ignorance, and because
one possesses beauty she is not necessarily a Mozart
at her. work; This applies both ways, we grant.
As world-wide as the question of politics is this
beauty problem which has even entered into the class
room, according to this "Big Ten" daily whose article
concludes,
"When a pretty girl enters a classroom, the in
structor sniffs suspiciously, thinks he is being
vamped, and resolutely puts down C's and D's.
Freshmen are advised to' wear glasses and to push
their hair behind their ears."
We wonder what Nebraska co-eds with the fair
countenances would do were the time to come when
beauty would gain a position on the debit side instead
of the credit side.
a slight one. The magazine is so full of humor that
only the advertising stops one from laughing when
the reading matter is digested. As for this slight criti
cism which was mentioned it is well for the Awgwan
to remember that LOCAL TOUCHES keep such a pub
lication's literary neck above water 1

To the Editor:
Co-education has been discussed pro and con on
the campus recently. Ray Ramsay advocated it at World
Forum one week with apparently valid arguments, and
with much ardor. Mis3 Zora Schaupp opposed it with
equal vigor another time.
Students in our Mid-Western universities seldom
give the question a thought. It is accepted as an es
tablished fact here, and our motto is always "Let be
as is". Most women scarcely imagine a happy Univer
sity life without the three "d's" "daddies", dates and
dances. Men too, feel that it would be rather dull to
go to college where there were no peppy co-eds to take
to parties, with whom to loiter on the porch, and upon
whom to spend their time and money. Frankly, we like
each other very much, and we like to be together.
Whether or not one believes in co-education de
pends upon what one demands of college. Separate
men's and women's colleges probably do give an oppor
tunity for greater intellectual achievements, more
reading, keeping abreast of the times, developing pow
ers of reasoning, and abiding interests in life. This is
possible because no time is wasted on parties, dates,
and other engagements with members of the opposite
sex. In separate colleges men learn more about every
thing but women, in girls' colleges they learn to un
derstand everything but men.
When men and women attend separate colleges,
they do not know and understand each other, because
for four years they have seldom met each others view
points. Men and women who go to college together are
pretty much "hep" to each ojher. They meet in class
rooms on an equal intellectual status. They meet fre
quently socially. Co-educational institutions are pri
marily educational in purpose, and not mere matri
monial bureaus. But while students are getting that
education they are also being helped to meet life sit
uations more adequately. Separating men and women
in different colleges creates an unnatural situation quite
unlike life. Men and women were both created to live
upon the earth; they spend most of their lives together.
The majority of men and women do not live sep
arate lives. Most of them marry, live together, and
build homes. The foundation of the home is mutual
understanding and appreciation. Civilization's progress
is dependent upon homes, and home builders.
Then it is not outside the natural and rightful
limits of our state universities to aid in this important
function of helping men and women to know and un
derstand each other better, so that later in life they
can build happy and harmonious homes.

ANNUAL GREEK
RACE IS TODAY
COMES THE AWGWAN!
The tradition number of the Awgwan has been dis
tributed. It also seems to be a tradition for The Daily
Nebraskan to criticize each issue.
Stabs and digs seems to be the underlying motif
of this month's humorous publication. Not a character
in school is spared from Dean James to the lowest
freshmen. The Daily Nebraska also receives its death
blow in the form of a miniature of this paper's front
page most "any day". If this publication really has
the "bigger and better" attitude which the Awewan
describes, it is very commendable. The campus surely
needs a booster more than a cynic to reflect its news
to students.
Dear Editor:
Honi Soit Qui Mali Penae!
It has been a long time since I have read such a
silly, unjustified and asinine bit of cantankerous pru
dery as L. E. R's. criticism of the Schooner for pub
lishing my review of Carl Sandburg. His ranting
Methodism fills me with unutterable contempt. I refer
the critic to the introduction to Ben Hecht's Fantariu.
Molare there he will find proper estimate of his ilk.
The Inquisitor first accused a kindly, honest and
decent man of being "classed by some as an immoral
poet." I wonder who these "some" are? Quite possibly
Carrie Chapman Catt or some itinerant circuit rider.
Then too, he saw fit to direct a barb at my own mor
ality accusing me of "taking care to select every sor
did suggestive poem" of Sandburg's that I could. If
L. E. R. read the article in question, he either indulged
in a flight of imagination or his critical faculties are
too ludicrous to be entertained seriously.
Sandburg is neither immoral nor non-moral, he
is highly moral. This I say with no reservations. L. E.
R. missed Sandburg's philosophy of morals it is cen
tered on the relief of the lower social orders. Regard
ing the excerpts of his poetry which I included, L. E,
R's. childish simplicity led him to mistake the vigor-
ousness of Sandburg's style for literary dung.
Do the whiskers of Carl Marx and poverty appall
you, L. E. R.? Or do you know of what Sandburg
writes? He writes what he sees, he gives a faithful and
honest account, and his opinions are held in high re
gard by all who are qualified to judge; this I do not
say on my own authority. If his writings upset you,
L. E. R., if your digestive apparatus is too delicate to
withstand his onslaught, I would suggest that you drop
your kmily Post and read Aphrodite. ,
