There lies the success of the Varsity Dance. In
years to come, it should put the fraternity party into
second place, where it belongs. The existing round of
Greek parties, attended only by invitation, limits the
social life of the University to a select group of frater
ty and sorority people. Practically the same faces
appear at every dance, probably not over seven hun
dred in all. The other five thousand remain at home
during the winter season when there are no Varsity
Parties.

ARMY OR NAVY VS. NEBRASKA
Even the slightest possibility of a football clash
between the Army or Navy and Nebraska next year is
6weet music to the University of Nebraska. Football
lovers, football cynics, townspeople, travellers from all
parts of the state would journey to Lincoln for such
an exceptional game.

A veil of mystery surrounds the student automo- gotten jr tne ocitement of capturing the Army mule
bile question, which has been lying idle since the Board
of Regents made its startling declaration last fall
"Student Cars Will Be Restricted". Idle as the car
problem may appear, behind the scenes two faculty
men have been working diligently upon a plan to be
announced early next semester.
The restless student body is evidently not content
to wait that long for news about the ill-fated automo
biles. Rumors and suggestions flow freely about the
campus, ranging from plans for complete prohibition
of cars to technical rules which would only remedy
the parking problem. And all the time, there is that
undercurrent of anxiety "Will the Regents take away

Cornhusktr football fans have been waiting for an

fills the bill.

At present, the problem is in the hands of two
men. The Dean of Student Affairs and the chairman
of the Interfraternity Council compose the committee
which is investigating the situation, and working out a
Fat men, mothers-in-law, and spinsters are not so
funny as most people suppose. So says Professor John
C. Almack, of Stanford University. He declares that
after a six month's period of joke classification he finds
plan to submit to the University Senate and Board of these subjects do not 6gvre prominently as believed
Regents.
These men realize that this is an automobile age;
they are not trying to deprive the student body of
necessary transportation, as some of the radicals are
charging in unprinted student opinion letters. Such
"Soap Box" contributions do not deserve space in this
paper, because any right-minded student should know
that these two faculty men will give the students a
fair deal. Their past records prove them capable of
sizing up the situation wisely and practically.
Always with the student's viewpoint in mind, they
are. working out a system as near like what the Inter
fraternity Council proposed as they deem feasible.
All automobiles will not be prohibited that much is
certain. Parents' permits for car ownership will be re
quired, and parking within the immediate vicinity of
the University will probably be restricted. Stadents who
are low in scholarship, and whose parents do not wish
them to have cars, should rightly fall within the ban.
Immediate action on the parking situation is also im
perative. a
To this extent, but not an inch further, should
the ban extend. School authorities must realize that it
is next to impossible to effectively enforce rules such
as are present at the University of Oklahoma. In that
institution students who' live in town are not allowed
to Ksul out-of-town students in their cars. Only a farce
would result from such a rule here, because as soon as
the student loyalty behind a faculty proposition is de
stroyed, its enforcement is next to impossible.
The committee working on the problem, however,
has already shown its interest in the student viewpoint
by calling in representatives of the Student Council
and the senior honoraries. It is just that kind of an atti
tude that will put the student body solidly behind the
Board of Regents in enforcing a restriction on student
car ownership.
Possession is nine points of the law, according U
the law faculty. The students now have their automo
biles, so it's nine to one they can keep them.
So's your old Ford!
Only four of the jokes are about fat men, two about
mothers-in-law, and two about old maids.
Scientifically tracing American humor to its den
of reality, Professor Almack says that Prohibition, poli
tics, women and congress get most laughs from the
laymen.
Democrats are not quite so funny as Republicans;
congress is four times funnier than the League of Na
tions; babies and back seat drivers place well in draw
ing the available supply of modern American guffaw.
The most frequent topics for quips are Coolidge,
Mussolini, Dawes, and the Prince of Wales. Some others
that rate well are Queen Marie, Al Smith, Big Bill
Thompson, and King Tut.
Coolidge humor is "not so hot", according to his
findings. He characterizes it as "very sad stuff". Sev
eral thousand college jokes are the familiar pun, while
others are jibes about drinking, modern engagements,
flappers, and other topics of interest.
Through all this surveying and calculating, Pro
fessor Almack hopes to be able to judge a joke in
stantly and thus know when to laugh and how hard.
He believes that it will save him from many embarras
sing situations.
His experiments indicate that women are not quite
so funny as men try to be, but he asserts that married
women do have a keener sense of appreciation than
do their husbands.
Professor Almack says that a person whose facial
muscles are paralyzed cannot "see" a joke, and that
the feeling of amusement comes not before, but after,
one has laughed.
This joke was the funniest of some eight thousand
on a thousand persons:
"Doesn't that mule ever kick you, Rastus?"
"No, suh, be ain't yet, but he sometimes kicks the
place where Ah was."
The laughter provoked by the joke was the basis
for its selection as the premier laugh-getter.

After several years of rough and stormy voyaging, June, has every appearance of being one of the most
important advances yet made by this department of
University Hall.
An initial division of the senior class into those
who desire no assistance, those who wish to interview
firms in the field which they have selected, and those
who are undecided and wih to consult alumni In dif
ferent kinds of business, seems to hold promise in its
simplicity. An assurance is therein implied that the
efforts of the Employment Office will have a new con
centration, where they are most needed.

the Varsity Dance committee has finally landed on safe
ground. Just as Columbus set sa:l against the whole
world's belief, so did a new inexperienced committee
attempt the impossible last fall the task of making
the social lions of fraternity and sorority row grace the

unrestrained. It is not difficult to
secure a divorce in the state of Ne
braska whether the divorce is based
on financial or legal matters, but
there are certain obstacles in the
way.
According to the principles of
companionate marriage, there should '
be no court procedure and the par-'
ties could be separated by mutual
consent. Companionate marriage !
can be dissolved without the consent !
of one of the parties, because if the '
two parties do not agree, the mar-'
riage is a failure. If companionate
marriage existed in the state of Nt-i
braska, the conditions for divorce
would have to be changed, the prop
erty status of married men and wo
men would have to be changed, and
instruction in birth control would be
allowed. The question is, would it
result in the survival of human so
ciety? I agree with Lindsey in that
the institution of marriage was made
for man and not man for the institu
tion. Many sociologist of early days
thought that promiscuity was the or
iginal form of marriage. Three rea
sons why monogamy is natural are:
nature provides the property of the
sexes, promiscuity leads to sterility,
and man is inately jealous about
property.
Marriaf Refolatcs Society
"Marriage is an institution to
regulate society in relation to the
sexes and the state should not be
interested only when children come
from the marriage I do not like to
hear it discussed solely on the phys
ical side although the emph; is is
laid there. The tranrmission of cul
ture is not dependent on schools but
primarily on the family. The state
should determine the age of people
who apply for marriage and the con
ditions of the marriage. The appli
cants should have physical examina
tions. Companionate marriage is
not just a question for one or two
to decide but for all the people in ;hc
country to arbitrate. How will com
panionate marriage affect the stabil
ity of the family? The stability of
the family is most important Com
panionate marriage would create
enormous confusion as to the ques
tion of whether a couple were mar
ried or not and whether their mar
riage was companionate or family.
The only difference between com
panionate and trial marriage is the
