HOT AND HEAVY
Comment of the Nebraska Alumnus in its lead
ing editorial this month on rush week is reprinted
under the heading, "Other Editors Say." The Daily
Nebraska", iraa distinctly surprised at the nature of
the editorial. Granting that delayed pledging is a
contforeraial subject with arguments on both sides,
The Daily Nebraskan could Bcarcely expect such a
wholesale hurling of adjectives as appear in the
first paragraph.
The Daily; Nebraskan is in hearty accord wiih
the Alumnus in favoring the establishment of a
dormitory system. All students should have the
opportunities now presented by fraternities. A com
plete dormitory system would be the nearest possible
aprroach to Such an ideal. But until dormitories
are conatrtKiied any program for delayed pledging
must be looked on with, disfavor. Fraternities today
offer the only satisfactory means of contatt with the
student body by any organization, whether campus,
acuity or aiumnL granting that they may not su'j
ordinate fraternity to the University, until a dormi
tory system is developed, they must remain the most
effective center through which a university con
sciousness may be Instilled.
As for the dormitory program, much as it may
be desired, there are other more pressing needs of
;he University. New engineering buildings and
equipment would be more effective in promoting de
velopment of engineering students than Improved
housing facilities. An adequate library, suitable to
a university of the size and caliber of the University
of Nebraska, would offer far more opportunities to
a Nebraska student body, than a mere improvement
in rooming facilities. If the state of Nebraska can
supply dormitory facilities along with campus im
provements. The Iaily Nebraskan will rejoice with
t he Alumnus. But adequate professional staffs and
satisfactory equipment are a first requisite to the
pieuter university which The Dally Nebraskan is as
anxious to see built as is the Nebraska Alumnus
WAITING FOR ACTION
Action of the athletic board concerning the re
turn of the programs to the Corn Cobs has been
help up pending the return of Herb Qlsh, director
of intercollegiate athletics, from his trip to the East.
Mr. Gish is scheduled to be back at his desk today.
During Mr, Oish's absence from Lincoln, several
significant changes have taken place in the program
situation, Student organizations have shown an un
usual interest in the matter. The Daily Nebraskan
has received more voluntary contributions discussing
the matter than on any campus subject that has
arisen in the last three years. Students of all
classes nave put in their word for the return of the
program aoncession to the Corn Cobs.
Hand In band with student objections to the
change has come a frank recognition of some of the
difficulties of former years by the Corn Cobs. Al
ready the pep dub has provided for a reorganization
which would remove the principal objections ad
vanced against the Corn Cobs by Mr. Gish before
his departure, By Thursday the reorganisation will
be complete,
MaawtrQe Oie Cobs have not been waiting for
toe reorganization in order to put their organization
to work la school service. The pep display at so
rbrlties last Friday was one of the best in ynsors.
This week the Corn Cobs addressed folders to some
3,000 Nebraska dads in which the "Dad's Day" edi
tion of the Dally Nebraskan was mailed. Tbey are
handling the gale of tickets to the "Dad's Day"
luncheon Baturday,
It was a most commendable spirit of justice
which kept the athletic board from taking action in
Mr. Oish's absence. The Dally Nebraskan holds
high three hopes: (1) That Mr. Gish will give the
changed situation as serious consideration as he
gave the original conditions and that the desires and
interests of students will not be overlooked in his
analysis; (2) That the athletic board will recognize
the advantages of the Corn Cobs as program dis
tributors, as bearers of the color that makes col-h-giate
football most enjoyable, as representative
of university spirit who need some source of revenue
if they are to function adequately in the interests
of the University, and (3) That quick action will
he taken to restore the Corn Cobs to the stands
with the program concession.
OH. OH, OH, OH!
"I had only an hour to study and I couldn't get
the book because I didn't have my identification
card."
"I had to present my card half a dozen times
in two hours, having to show it for every book I
took out.. They surely knew me some of those
times." ' ,
These criticisms of the library and the identi
fication card system are typical of some half dozen
such written comments which have been submitted
to The Dally Nebraskan.
Confusion has undoubtedly been caused this fall
due to the demand for the Identification card before
loaning books at the library. Until students become
habituated to carrying their cards, confusion will
continue. That is no Indictment of vhe system.
The Identification card system is a Joint-protective
system alike tor. student and library. No
student can charge a book out against anothe.- tlu
ucnt as bus been done in other years. Neither can
a student use an assuaged name and remove the
book from the library, handicapping fellow students
who want the- use of the book, and the library In
its efforts to supply student needs. These latter
causes account for the request that the card be pre
sented each time a book Is chocked out. Library
assistants may remember that students have gotten
books before but they can hardly be expected to
remember the names of the hundreds that use the
library daily.
THE KAGGER: If the editor agrees, he is cour
ageous. If he disagrees, he is a radical.
Now that class societies and other pests have
been .abolished, a serious law student asks, "How
about the collegiate wrecks?"
Scholarship will acquire a new significance now
that military sponsors have to be checked for eligi
bility in the dean's office.

Dwight F. Davis, Secretary of
War, speaking before the Anieri-;

some Interesting tiformailon re

the United States. Our regular
army, comprising 118,750 men, is
much smaller than the active
armies of either Great lirltain,
Fiance, Ifaly, Spain, Japan, Kusxia,
China, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Ru

strength of the armies of fifty-one
nalions of the world is four to

It has been said that "you can lead a horre to
ater, but you cant' make him drink," but this iitate
ment could best be modified to fit university stu
dents by letting It read, "you can heap assignments
upon the heads of pupils, but can't do it and keep
them above sod."

Self preservation is, indeed, the
first law of nature.
Chile and Peru have finally re

have been quarrelling for years
over the boundary to be drawn be
tween the tw o count t ies. The set
tlement of this problem, known as
the Tacna-Arica dispute, was en
trusted to the United States for
organization, and if the instructors of the University
of Nebraska would be consistent with the opinions
of the medical heads of their Institution there would
be many freshmen who would not be wishing them
selves any place but on the campus as they are
doing now.
Some professors seem to forget, in their zeal
to share the Joys of their subject, that every other
professor on the campus has the same Idea, and
that a long assignment is no added task It has
been said that two hours should be spent la pre
paring a subject, but when a person of at least
average Intelligence who has made a good high
school record spends four hours covering his assign
ment, to say nothing of mastering it, something
should be done. And what can a freshman do? Grin
and bear it, they say. but looking at the grinning
countenance of said freshman, the teacheis think
tbey are not worked hard enough, and whoops!
"another theme for tomorrow."
"Don't be a grind; learn what life has to offer
that doesn't come from books" say the learned ones.
"Get into activities." How- can one attend classes
from 8 to 5, spend several hours making himself
known on campus as an enterprising young man,
study from 7 to 2 and keep from causing a death in
tle family!
"Dear old Nebraska U" spirit could be aroused
much more profoundly In the freshmen if the
teachers would use discretion and show their school
have got together. Secretary Kel
logg has suspended the Tacna

four months, to give them a chance
to negotiate themselves. Hoth na

The weird and unusual tale ol

the mysterious to the stories of
Pierre Thlbault, who is, Indeed, a

depiction of the lives of these

spirit of understanding sympathy,
bred of the close association of the
author with the country described.
Mr. Leitossignol is a native of

add a piquancy and zest to the

ABOLISH OLYMPICS?
To the Editor:
The Olympics are a tradition in this university
of ours. Their need in the beginning was unques
tionably great, but whether or not that need has
disappeared Is a question. The Olympics began as
time when they should particlpaie.

One suggestion might be that some penalty

party or dinner for the freshmen, If they were
beaten by more than a reasonable margin.

OTHER EDITORS SAY-
RUSH WEEK.
Rush week Is often spoken of as a huge joke
and. a farce. As a matter of fact, it is anything but
a Joke it is nothing short of a tragedy. The whole
system is vicious and not only tends to, but usually
does, overshadow the fundamental things in college
life.
It seems to us that a dormitory' system for all
freshmen, with sophomore pledging by the fraterni
ties, would nationalize the presetu situation. Yes.
it would be opposed by many fraternity members.
Why? Because it might subordinate fraternity to
the University, as it should be. But such s move
would have the whole hearted endorsement of vast
numbers of alumni, both fraternity and non-fraternity
members, and the approval of students' parents.
We believe the regents could take such a pro
gram to the legislature with every assurance of its
successful passage, it is a move in the right direc
tion for a grea.er I'nlve'Mt- and 4 progrpm worth
fighting for.
