FINAL ACTION
Nebraska's Student Council will meet this after
noon to give final consideration to the question of the
underclass societies.
The Council's recommendation for the abolition
of six underclass societies was unanimously approved
by the faculty committee on student organizations last
week. The faculty committee added Valkyrie to the
list of societies slated to go by the boards and has re
ferred the whole matter to the Student Council for
final consideration.
The attitude of the faculty committee was clear.
It was willing to cooperate with student government
in attempting to better campus conditions. It was not
willing ruthlessly to sweep student organizations from
the campus without student approval or firm conviction
that such action was necessary. It was willing to act
if student opinion was crystallized on the subject.
Protagonists of the removal of the honsraries ex
pected strong opposition to their aims. That opposition
was not stronger was probably due to the sureness
with which the Student Council moved. Several months
were consumed in investigating the criticised societies
By the time the Council was ready for action, it had
material reasons for its action well in hand. The Coun
cil's recommendations to the faculty committee were
comprehensive and thorough.
The faculty committee itself took its time in as
suring itself of the soundness of the Council's investi
gation. It gave the societies in question opportunity to
present their case. The conclusion was the unanimous
recommendation for abolition.
The faculty committee's gesture in referring the
matter back to the Student Council was a significant
and friendly one. It showed a new confidence in the
Student Council, a confidence springing from the work
attempted by the Council the past two years. Likewise,
it indicated the desire of the faculty committee to have
student views operative concerning their own organi
zations. There can be little doubt as to student sentiment.
Tl J... L..AMmju V .-A knA enfA ennf In fitfl?pnt
in more ways than one. Even members of the organiza
tions concerned have shown no great concern over the
proposed dissolution of the societies. Tonight's meeting
of the Student Council should complete the actions
necessary for the removal of the 6even under-class
societies.
PROBATION AGAIN
With the Inter-fraternity council scheduled to meet
soon, investigation of advance probation tactics is re
ported to be quietly under way.
Desirable as is an investigation of the unfortunate
violations of last week-end, there are other phases of
the problem which the Inter-fraternity council needs
to consider. The question of enforcement of the regula
tions is a vita! one. Changes in the present rules in
light of two years of experience should also be consid
ered. One cf the present standards, in particular, seems
unsatisfactory. The Inter-fraternity council's action of
last year set the probation period for the closing hours
of the first week of the second semester, exclusive of
registration week.
Last year, shortly after the passage of the rule,
probation was postponed a week due to the Pan-Hel
Ball. Again this year, probation was postponed a week
because of the Infa-mural Carnival and the Inter-fraternity
ball, successor of the Fan-Hel ball. Because of
the annual occurrence of this major University func
tion, the second week would seem more desirable for
probation than the first.
Other factors also indicate that establishment of
the second week as the regular probation period would
be desirable. Placing the probation at that time would
make it possible for stadents to get a sure start on
their semester's work before the three-day antics period
begins.
From the standpoint of new students, the second
week would be far letter than the first. It would enable
them to partially recover their balance after the whirl
of a few days of rushing. It would prevent their gaining
an entirely false conception of college and fraternity
life as it is too likely to be the immediate reaction if
they are confronted with probation their first week-end
in Lincoln.
TAKING THE HINT
Campus courtesy or rather the lack of it is the
subject of a rather pointed attack published in "The
Soap Box" today.
Although the bulk of the student body is un
doubtedly courteous at heart, students as a whole are
prone to be careless of the simple courtesies which
make life move more smoothl.
Courtesy is primarily consideration. Students rush
from class to class, from activity to activity, from
gathering to gathering. The atmosphere la none too
conducive to reflection on courtesy. But the world
students face is none the less hurried. Lack of consider
ation of others is fully as important as high grades,
extra-curricular activities, social prominence and other
supposed honors 1 1 sought after by University students.
Perhaps it is well that there is occasionally a "Rebel"
to call attention to student forgetfulness.
ANOTHER NEED
The University faces a difficult situation in regard
to the present inadequate library building which is not
fcig eiiongb nor well enough equipped to meet the
needs of a large student body. The condition is even
more noticeable in the fact that the library is closed
on Sundays, which cuts off many etudents from doing
their required reference reading. To many students,
books which are easily available to some students on
week days, become forbidden fruits on the one" day in
the week which, to them, is the most satisfactory for
library reading.
A good percentage of students have their week
days and Saturdays well filled with classes and part
time work. These people have only Sundays left which
they can call a free day, in which to read their outside
references.' Other students who need Sunday to study
would go to the library if it was open. There is an at
mosphere of quiet and study in that building which is
hard to find in an organization or rooming house.
The library closes at a fairly early hour in the
evening, at 10 o'clock. Certainly there is a big enough
demand for the use of the library every day of the
week to allow at least two hours' grace for study there
on Sundays. The problem could be solved by cutting
short the hours of opening on Friday and Saturday
evenings, and allotting this time to Sunday afternoons,
in order to accommodate students who find it necessary
to use that time in which to prepare library references,
The additional day would also lessen the uncer
tainty of procuring books in classes where the enroll'
ment is large, and the assigned library texts are lim
ited, a condition which is plainly existant here. Sunday
library hours would help solve a knotty problem for
students who need that time for library work, and
would give additional opportunity to large classes of
students where the reserve books are few in number.

To the Editor:
Is it contrary to the code of the Nebraska boy to
b eonrtpou to co-eds upon the campu.? Have customs
so changed that the girls must step off the walk to let
the boys pass by? I wonder.
A solitary girl approaches several boys coming
down the walk and instead of allowing her the privilege
of half the walk the boys "take" the walk.
Monday noon some Sir Walter Raleigh opened the
door of Social Science to let another girl and myself
pass in. It was cold and blustery. The wind was very
strong and the door was haid to open I thanked
S. W. R. for the courtesy In fact I knew later that
I had been greatly honored. I didn't realize it at the
time. As the boys passed down the hall I heard one
say to the other, "Well, Sir Walter Raleigh, eh"?
And "What nationality are you"? The reply, "Oh,
I'm Scotch."
Here's to the Scotch and may more of the boys
become a little more "Scottish".

THE AXE ON HONOR SOCIETIES
Such finely named honor societies as Vikings, Sil
ver Serpents, Iron Sphinx, Green Goblins, and Mystic
Fish are facing abolition by the University authorities
at Nebraska following a campaign by the Daily Ne
braskan, student newspaper. The claim has been levied,
apparently with justice, that the societies existed
"solely because ambitious men and women students
wished to have important sounding club names in the
records of achievement," and since the Daily Nebraskan
did not consider this a legitimate cause for continuance,
action has been taken.
The whole affair is extremely interesting, for there
are few college campuses that are not over-organized,
and probably our own has been victimized with the
rest. Nevertheless the existence of powerful honor so
cieties, consisting of upperclassmen with constructive
ideals of University service, is an excellent thing for
any university, if the energy of the organizations is
properly directed.
Nothing is more desultory to a virile college spirit
than the existence of a flock of defunct organizations.
On the other hand, however, nothing is more conducive
to vital and concrete achievement than the existence of
a number of powerful organizations which have the in
terests of the University solely at heart.
It has been demonstrated more often than is nec
essary for proof that strong honor societies can ac
complish a tremendous amount of good when properly
directed. On the whole it seems doubtful whether the
Daily Nebraskan has done a better service by advocat
ing the extinction of honor societies than it would have
done by reawakening in them a consciousness of their
true responsibility. Michigan Daily.
Kosmet Klub Tryouts
Will Be Saturday
SB SSSSSSSB -
(Continued from Page 1)
Kosmet Klub members and Herbert
Yenne, author and director of "The
Love Hater", who will act as judges
and constitute the only audience to
witness the tryouts.
"We will probably be able to use
some good vaudeville acts," announ
ced a member of Kosmet Klub. "Any
talent such as uke players or special
ty dancers can try out with the pony
chorus." If the judges appreciate any
of these acts, or novelty singers and
dancers, the-acts will be selected as
features for the show.
Freshmen Cannot Enter
Freshmen will not be allowed to
enter the trials on Saturday. An
nouncement of the cast will be made
shortly after the tryouts so that re
hearsals may start at once.
The principals of the cast, and a
description of their various charac
ter follows:
Sylvia Sylvester, a former follies
girl. Young, small, and beautiful. In
fact she is the leading lady.
Madam La Comtesse de Clarienne,
an elderly lady, very particular.
Rather large physically, the Madam
has had a very brilliant past, good
and otherwise.
Phillip Cornell, a young professor
of philisophy who has taken it upon
himself to write a book. He is rather
an interesting fellow. His trousers
don't go unpressed. He has been too
busy with his study to give a great
deal of thought to women, but now
he is on his way to Europe for a va
cation, he finds he is attractive
enough to get by with the females
and learns that Kipling was right
they are more deadly than the male.
Vernon Ladd, a young undergraduate-
acts as the professor's secretary.
Vernon is a good fella in spite of the
fact that he wears heavy shell glasses
and has a vocabulary high above the
average. '
There is also a vaudeville dance
team. Oner Mazie Murphy, a clever
hoofer, ignorant and full of the
world's choicest slang. With her, as
her partner in the act, is Albert Ab
bott. Al is Mr. Personality "himself.
He admits it.

Huskers Score Over
Drake in Fast Contest
(Continued from Page 1)
Husker-3 by making good on a close
in shot. Myers sank a free toss and
Witte shortly followed suit. A long
effort by Myers swished through the
netting, and baskets by Zvacek and
Munn put the invaders on even terms
with the Huskers at five all. Succes
sive baskets brought the score to nine
apiece but from there on, the Scarlet
clad team went out ahead with Holm
taking the leading role. Krall and
Holm cooperated to bring the score
at 17 to 9 as the half closed.
Starting the second half with a
scoring spree, the Bulldog quintet
lowered the difference in points when
Myers made two "field goals and two
free tosses in rapid succession. Bowes
sank a follow in shot and with ten
minutes to play, the Drake cagesters
were trailing the Huskers 24 to 22.
Rallying and displaying a smooth
working offensive, the home team
rang up a series of long shots, mean
while holding the Drake players to
three baskets by Barnes, Myers, and
Zvacek. As the final gun sounded,
Myers was fouled and made good one
of his two gift tosses to make the
final score 34 to 27 in Nebraska's
favor.
Nebraska Tie Washington
By winning the last three games,
Nebraska has advanced to a tie for
sixth place with the Washington
Bears with a percentage of 455. Ne
braska has won five contests and
dropped six for its present standing.
Toward the end of the Drstke
game, the close score had the mem
bers of both teams fighting desper
ately for possession of the balL With
three minutes to play, exhaustion
caused them to slow up a bit and the
Nebraskans coasted in with a seven
point lead. Brown turned in an ex
cellent game at a forward position
and showed great ability to make his :
scoring attempts count. Holm and!
Krall played nearly the whole game
and their defensive tactics made the
Drakesters resort to long shots. My
ers was easily the star of the visiting
quintet and worked with Simpson in
breaking up the Nebraska offensive

AN INVENTORY OF ORGANIZATIONS
- . ..a
oix Honorary societies at tne University ol Ne-i
Lraska, charged by the student council with being pur
poseless organizations, are expected to be killed
faculty action.
The agitation was begun by the Daily Nebraskan,
which held that the only justification that could be
advanced for many of the societies was that they gave
ambitious men and women the opportunity to add more
high-sounding and exclusive groups to the list of their
activities.
The right to existence of many of University of
wasningtons vanea nonoraries, professional frater
nities, clubs, groups and societies might also be ques
tioned, mere is little a student can do, say or think
without finding an organization for what he does, for
what he says or for what he th'nks.
Undoubtedly many of them have a valid right to
live. They are means to an end. They are an incentive
and an encouragement to the student. They foster in
terest and help build friendships. They are the means
to fit the student for a fuller citizenship after gradua
tion. But there are other groups that seem to be an end
in themselves and little else. They overlap and dupli
cate and all they contribute is another activity to be
listed as a college achievement.
Ar. inventory lih&uid Le taken of ejvery campus
group and its function. Those that contribute nothing
to the University and nothing tangible to the members
should be wipi out.
There would still be enough left to go around.-
