campu3 organizations and conditions.
In an editorial on Phi Beta Kappa the Lincoln
Star comments on the increased value of the scholastic
award since, as they put it, the recent broadening
of the standards in combining scholarship and college
activities, with the placing of the greatest emphasis
upon scholarship. s
Such a change'has been often suggested. We agree
that it would enhance the value of the award. But at
the present time the personality and college activities
of the student are in no way considered when the list
of new members is compiled. The names are not even
before those making the selection. They decide upon
tho limiting average or percentage of the graduating
class. All those above that limit are elected.
With all its inaccuracies the editorial arrived at a
worthwhile conclusion and we are reprinting it it "In
Other Columns".

THE DOLLAR SIGN
This spring vacation three groups of students will
be making trips under the direction of the University.
They are the Kosmet Klub in its tour of Hastings,
Fremont and Omaha; the Glee Club in its eight-day
trip throughout the state; and the varsity track squad
in its southern jaunt to Missouri and Oklahoma. The
Kosmet Klub and Glee Club, which are managed by
students, are supplied with the proper equipment and
a sufficient number of men to adequately meet the
tasks that they have undertaken.
But, unless the athletic department relents from
its present stand on the number of track men that
should be allowed to make the trip, we can hardly say
as much for Coach Schulte's squad.
It is true that Nebraska has not yet recovered
from the loss by graduation of the outstanding track
star3 of a year or so ago. Insufficient funds and the
fact that the track squad was not seemingly making
any outstanding performances were the reasons given
for the failure of having Nebraska represented at the
Illinois, Texas, and Rice relays this spring. So the
men stayed at home and trained for the southern trip.
Now it seems that a few men who could be used to
very good advantage will not be permitted to make the
trip because the equad should be limited to save ex
pense. We commend the athletic department in their
zealous care of the athletic funds. But when the finan
cial side becomes predominate, college sports lose their
amateur standing and become an organized commercial
enterprise. In such a concern a team that is a winner
would be given many privileges denied to teams that
could not attract large gate receipts. Such seems to
be the present attitude toward our athletic squads.
But a3 a team needs the support of the student
body when the outlook it unfavorable, so does a squad
need the wholehearted support of the athletic depart
ment when a mediocre season seems inevitable. For it
is at such a crisis that severe restrictions undermine the
morale of the team. t
The expense of the few extra men would be small.
So, since the team was kept home from three meets
that other Valley schools participated in to save money
fr the scheduled trips and since there will be no ex
pense in sending the squad away to the annual Valley
meet, it is hoped that Coach Schulte will be permitted
to take the men that he needs on this southern tour.
Big Bill Thompson says that "Chicago is a fine
city to work in and to live in". "Live" Ah! there's
the rub.
PUBLICITY WILL IT BE FAVORABLE?
The Kosmet Klub gives its second all-male musical
comedy to various audiences throughout the state dur
ing spring vacation. The show is written by a. member
of the Klub, directed by members and the production
arranged by Klub members, all of whom are either
undergraduate students or alumni active in university
work. The organization has an opportunity to do some
effective advertising for the school by its state tour.
There is also the chance of attracting' unfavorable
publicity.
People out in the state often form snap judgments
of university students. A few students can give an
impression that will be taken as typical of the whole
school. Living away from Lincoln and seeing little of
our system of higher education, it is natural for older
people to think of the university in terms of the stu
dents they see.
It can be predicted with some certainty that some
members of the show troupe will take the trip as an
outing. Actions of students on an outing are sometimes
displeasing to the people that are furnishing the money
for their education. It is not enough to justify "hilar
ious" actions by saying that university life is not like
that. These taxpayers will invariably get the idea that
such activities are part of every day life at school.
Unless members of the show keep this in mind, opin
ions, unjust to both the school and the otheT students,
may be formed in the towns in which the show plays.
A production, such as sponsored by the Kosmet
Klub, will advance musical and dramatic standards at
Nebraska and at the same time give the school favor
able advertising. Whether or not this publicity will be
favorable will depend entirely upon the Klub,

WHAT? AN EDITORIAL ERROR?
Those out in the world get quite a kick from the
naive remarks that college students sometimes make
regarding worldly affairs. Likewise, we enjoy the "out
side" attempts sometimes made in an effort to explain
COLLEGE READING ADVANCES
That members of the present college generation
read more than their mothers and fathers and their
grandmothers and grandfathers used to read might be
the conclusion adopted if the information from Sweet-
briar College were taken as applicable to both men
and women. The librarian of that college makes the
assertion that modern college women read much more
than did those of earlier times and bases her state
ment on figures ranging over a period of twenty years.
If this condition is true throughout the country,
and it probably is, it is an encouraging sign. Reading
means that there is interest and where there is inter
est there are bound to be results which may signify
progress. A survey of the reading material which is
popular among college students would also show that
a far broader field is of interest to them than was the
case several years ago.
Psychology, travel, poetry, biography and science
are all read by many young people who, through read
ing truths combined with the opinions of great think
ers and philosophers, seek their own explanations and
interpretations of the problems confronting them. Fic
tion is of course still the favorite reading matter but
even that has changed in character and the senti
mental, melodramatic "thriller" of a few years back
has greatly decreased in popularity.
This observation of the reading of the present
college generation is only one more proof that the
modern college, despite its defects, has inspired thous
ands of young people with the desire to know the truth
about many things and to form their own conclusions
from their observations. The period of remaining in
ignorance or blindly taking some one else's opinion for
final has passed and the university has been probably
the greatest factor in bringing it about.
Whether reading has been the most important
method of developing a more intelligent generation
cannot be certain but it has surely been a valuable
means and should be encouraged as both an entertain
ing and enlightening pastime. Syracuse Daily Orange.

PHI BETA KAPPA
Thirty-nine seniors of the University of Nebraska
are rejoicing in the signal honor which has come to
them. They have received the award for Phi Beta
Kappa.
There was a time when Phi Beta Kappa repre
sented excellence in scholarship solely. The standards
have been broadened more recently so that awards,
while primarily on the basis of scholarship, likewise
contemplate school activities. The happy combination
of scholarship and college activities, with the placing
of the greatest emphasis upon scholarship, increases the
value of Phi Beta Kappa award.
These young people rounding out four years of
college have every reason to take satisfaction in the
recognition which has come to hem. They have ap
plied themselves to the most important matters which
confront them when entering college. Good times.
social diversions, and college activities are important
but after all must be relegated to a position of lesser
importance than scholarship. The successful student
who finds it possible to attain excellent grades, and at
the same time share in the busy activities of the cam
pus, gives promise of developing into a useful and able
citizen. All work and no play may make Jack a dull
boy but all play and no work is more likely to make
Jack a complete "bust" when he is confronted with
the more serious responsibilities of life into which he

won't have much trouble about that

chapter is going to Omaha.
The Kosmet Klub (organized with
the purpose of making trips during
vacations) will start their tour Mon
day. After having played at the
State Penitentiary and the State Re
formatory they consider their show
good enough to put on in Hastings.
The last town to be favored with
"The Love Hater" is Omaha. (A lit

saved Omaha 'till last because if any

any dillerence in Omaha.

Monday evening the Kosmet Klub's

The final road-showing of the
spring recess tour will be in Omaha.
It will be played at the Omaha Tech
nical high school auditorium Wednes
day evening, after which the Univer
sity show-men will return to Lin
coln for classes Thursday. Friday

With baseball, track, tennis, horse

to be decided, the possibility for an
"outsider" to capture the intramural
trophy is still favorable. The bowling
meet, which has been in progress for
several weeks, has not been com

raised over the scoring in this event
and there is a likelihood that the
results will not be counted in the
final ratings.

Saturday as to what men will rep
resent Nebraska in their first outdoor
cinder contests.
Practically all the men who are
making bids for the trip are up on
the scholastic deck. Coach "Indian';
Schulte reported that the list of men
whom he will select his team from
are on a higher scholastic bpsis than
any candidates he has had to choose
from in the past. But as the material
on hand is so equally distributed as
to ability, Coach Schulte is having
a hard time deciding who will make
the best showing under the fire of a
Missouri Valley dual meet.
According to past performances,
however, and as they are the leaders
of their events it appears that the
following men will be among the
Husker aggregation when it departs
for Oklahoma: Easter and Lowe in
the sprints; Captain Perly Wyatt, E.
