KOSMET KLUB SCORES
Another success has been scored by the Kosniet
Klub. For their 1928 road show, "The Love Hater",
which was presented at Hastings, Fremont, Omaha and
Lincoln, was enthusiastically received by every audi
ence. Such an achievement reflects favorably upon
the University.
Many of the people throughout the state never
have an opportunity to visit their state University. Such
information as they receive is gleaned from the news
papers, from those who have visited or attended the
institution, or from seeing such student entertainment
as that presented by the Kosmet Klub. From such
sources they form an opinion of the University.
During the recent trip made by the Kosmet Klub
the idea of representing the school so as to cause noth
ing but favorable comment was stressed by the mem
bers. Between acts it was explained that the play was
the result of student and faculty efforts, the members
of the Klub were introduced, and University songs
were sung. And thus they succeeded in putting across
the idea that the staging of such a show was only sec
ondary to their studies at school.
On such trips it is exceedingly easy to give an
unfavorable impression of university life. We compli
ment the Klub upon their Annual show and the com-'
petent manner in which the trip was handled.
EVALUATING THE FRATERNITY
Tirades against the fraternity sjstem have been
numerous from time to time but the one that seems
to be stirring up more trouble than is necessary is that
which it going on at Dartmouth. The undergraduate
daily there has entered the roles of the reformer and
has come out with the declaration that the club system
should be substituted for the national fraternity system.
We do not know what would prompt a college
editor to hurl such a broad-side especially when we
have always been of the opinion that fraternities as a
whole have been the college man's salvation. Maybe
this particular individual has been staying up late at
night consuming some of the recent college novels
which depict the average fraternity as a hot bed of
foolishness and light-mindedness.
The argument seems to be that membership in an
organization is not doing anyone any harm but that
it is useless and foolish; and secondly, that the club
system thus substituted would provide an opportunity
for friendship which it claims is all that a fraternity
can provide. It concludes that it is absurd to presume
that any organization can guarantee friendship.
Now the fraternity members at Dartmouth may
have all sorts of grudges against their own brothers

sary to redistribute these members among the so-called
clubs on the campus. This publication might just as
well have advocated the downfall of the athletic sys
tem or some other established institution. One can find
some wrong in everything if that is what is sought.
As far as we are concerned, we do not care to enter
into such a thing as denouncing the fraternity system.

THE SMUDGE GROWS
HOW THEY VOTED
After Election Day! Citizens who have gone to
the polls to place their "favorite sons" on the political
thrones are returning to their daily tasks. Politicians,
dashed from their dream pinnacles of success, are
slinking back to private life trying to forget the sting
of defeat. The victorious office-seeker is preparing to
assemble his forces for the final drive across the goal
line which separates him from the public office. The
stage is now set for an inventory of the results of this
greet day.
The voters of Lincoln were confronted with three
issues of prime importance to the betterment of the
city. Certain public-spirited citizens saw the need for
a municipal airport as a step toward the making of a
great city. Thanks to the combined efforts of several
civic and military organizations the proposal "came
through" with a slim margin. That bit of enthusiasm,
however, was the death knell for two other important
local proposals.
A little over a year ago the municipal building at
Tenth and Q Streets became too rickety for the housing
of fire trucks. As a temporary safety measure the
cKy council rented quarters to provide for the fire fight
ing equipment. Election time came and the need for a
new structure was explained to the public. The result
ant vote showed that the citizenry felt the need was
not urgent and that the present facilities were ade
quate. It so happens ihat the Health Department of the
City of Lincoln is a tenant of this dilapidated affair on
Q street. What more fitting quarters, for an organiza
tion devoted to public health, could be found than a
dark, leaky, condemned structure such as it now oc
cupies! Public health is truly the problem of every city
government and yet can any health organization func
tion properly under such conditions? Eighty-three of
the larger cities of the country are spending millions
of dollars annually for the betterment of local health
conditions. Building inspection is a function of this
department. Why should these inspectors condemn any
property which is in better condition than their own
department building?
Why then, did the voters of Lincoln reject again
the proposal for a new municipal building? We believe
that ignorance of the necessity of such a building can
no longer be an alibi lor such action. Kather let us
say that the "dollars and centc" involved have been the
cause for such action. An individual will gladly pay
fifty dollars a year to a dcotor for curing his ills; but
just let some one suggest that he pay one dollar per
year for a new building to increase the space and equip
ment of the health department and he will promptly
reply, "No!" The majority of the people can not vis
ualize the immense benefits which their own city de
rives from an efficieiil health department.
The third issue before the voter was the proposal
to increase the city budget. Lincoln is inadequately
policed and her fire protection is poor. But how can
she be erpected to better these conditions without
money to pay for a larger, more efficient organization?
We commend the voter" of Lincoln who ko vh).
iex.tly foufht for, and won, the airport bond issue; and
we sincerely trust that another election day will find
the citizen voting by reasoning rather than by "dollars
and cents."
Much his been said, is being said, and alwajs will
be said regarding smoking in buildings on the campus,
and littering front stps with stubs. The subject is
almost dangerous; it hoi iers on talk concerning walking
on the grass.
Yet in all the voluminous flow of words, there!
has been little of constructive suggestion or of will
ingness to help the situation. Men have been harried
from place to place by no smoking signs, until all that
seems left them are the great open spaces. The entire
Library is forbidden to the smokers, the expressed ex
planation being the danger to volumes. To the co
eds is probably left the privacy of their rooms at mid
night, or the smoking room under the 10th avenue
bridge. Yet the smudge has not been diminished.
The suggestion has been facetiously offered that
the administration might supply ash trays for. the post
office. Might not that eugpection be considered a little
more seriously?
The question, according to the smokers, resolves
itself into whether it is better to wait for the mountain
to come to the administration or for the administration
to go to the mountain. If it is impossible to prevent
smoking in buildings, why not provide receptacles for
depositing cigarette stubs at least outside all buildings?
The expense is not exactly prohibitive, and the only
apparent objection is that a concession might be made
to smokers. Front steps and corridors of buildings'
are littered with matches and smoking stubs. Why
not try to change? Why not use some care and direc
tion? Better marksmanship will flip the stub of a cig
arette to a less conspicuous place. The Minnesota

WHAT DOES HE EXPECT?
"What will he expect us to say?" This is inevitably
afked before quizzes. Students learn, memorize or
cram anything into their minds in order to pass exam
inations. It is not what do they know, but what does
the instructor expect?
The whole objective of a collie education cen
ters around the acquisition of grades: nothing else
seems to be of consequence. There is little effort on
the part of either the instructors or the students to
develop original ideas, independent thought or habits
of study.
There are only a few instructors on the hill who
encourage the formation of independent opinions, and in
most classes to express any ideas contrary to those of
the powers that be is either to be utterly squelched or
to jeopardize one's grade.
Since it has long been known that the moFt of the
information acquired in school is foreotten. ther trmut
pe oiner objects m education. Some of these things are
ideals, attitudes toward life, and permanent interest
in the subjects about which the student lias been roost
concerned whUe he was in school.
Among prominent educators there is a recognition
of the fact that more information should be teste
in schooL
Experimentation is making some progress toward
this goal, and when it is reached, our entire educational
system will be on a higher level University Daily
