GETTING OFF THE SUBJECT
Nebraska Bhowers, like those of any other clime,
eften Beem astonishing nuisances. But after the pit-pat-patter
has ceased, eveu the bedraggled student
who forgot his slicker and bad to sloth through
campus puddles to the next class feels the new
freshness of the atmosphere. After the rain, the air
Is charged with some vital quality which relieves
student and Instructor alike from the tension of
monotony which boiuetiuies seems creeping in as
pervasively as wild morning glory in a corn patch.
No less refreshing and invigorating la the In
structor who blows into the classroom some morn
ing, abandons the usual first, second, third, de
velopment of the lecture and devilishly whirls into
an entertaining criticism of the intensiveness of
seriousness which less frivolouB folk sternly de
mand of education. The necessity of pounding
through a tough assignment before the next lec
ture is forgotten by the student sitting up to enjoy
the rapid-fire analysis of the keen teacher who
has oen the fnlhlea of thn over-serious with as
much pleasant appreciation as the follies of the
super-frivolous.
Getting off the subject in a sprightly enervating
manner is sometimes a medium for getting into
the subject in a more cheerful, aggressive manner.
The Instructor who can thus stimulate a class to
a larger interest in the real values of the subject
carries the same healthy advantage to the intellec
lual Instincts of a class that the light shower of
nature does to the physical instincts of humanity.
DAD AGAIN
"Dad's Day has come and gone once more. Fond
fathers have again returned to the serious business
at. home, or earning the where-with-all required by
son and daughter in school. Dad was shown an in
teresting time a thrilling football game, perhaps a
theater and dinners in his honor at the fraternity
house. So much affection and consideration was
.showered upon him in one week-end that he seemed
pleasantly bewildered at it all. And such bewild
erment should not seem strange, considering the
neglect and thoughtlessness to which he is often
subjected during the year. More dad's days, ob
served with homely respect and consideration on
each individual's initiative, would be even more
appreciated by dad.
Ultimately, dad foots the bill of his own enter
laininent, but that kurden is a negligible weight to
him, if it promotes real affection. Indeed it be
comes a buoyant burden of joy, If he can exchange
material riches for the wealth of filial love. It Is
to be hoped that such development will be the
ultimate achievement of "Dad's Day" at Nebraska.
STILL WAITING
Still waiting'. That sums up the attitude of
students who have been expecting the return of the
program concession to the Corn Cobs. The Daily
Nebraskan has contributed its best efforts in an
attempt to clarify the situation. It has supported
dhola-heartedly efforts of the Corn Cobs to get the
programs back, In the belief that an Injustice had
been done them, and that once the athletic depart
ment was cognizant of student attitude toward the
situation, that relief from the strained relations
tould be expected.
Still Waiting! The Daily Nebraskan is still
waiting. It Is waiting, but its hopes, its confidence
that the University was anxious to maintain the
'inest relations between students and adminlatra
ilon, that the University would not sanction placing
of co-eds in unfavorable environment, that the Uni
versity's leaders would make every effort to rectify
mistakes hampering normal development of student
groups, is waning.
Dut The Daily Nebraskan still does hope that
realization of the injustice, so clear to this paper,
uf ihe injustice done the Corn Cobs, will come, and
i hat the Missouri game will find the Scarlet and
t'ream sweaters flitting through the stands to add
that final touch of spirit In the dying minutes be
fore Nebraska renews Its struggle for athletic
supremacy with Missouri.
This can be accomplished in two ways. The let
ters he writes should give equal place to conditions
In college as they actually exist. But the more
important way to change the impression Is found
in the lives students live upon returning home. If
he goes back as humble as he came but with added
polish, if he talks more Intelligently, yet not more
egotisticalv, if his actions are as clean as before
his college experience, then these impressions can
not last long.

A STUDENT LOOKS
AT PUBLIC A I FAIRS
By David Fellman
Without Qtit'.sllnii, the most nlK
nificant of recent events was
the cpoc-maklng flight of tlio Graf
Zeppelin, a German built lii'ship
captained by Dr. Hugo Kckener.
This, tremendous zepptdln, with a
crew of forty men and with twenty
passengers, made the flight from
Germany to New Jersey in 111
hours, covering a total distance of
about 5,000 miles. Only Lind
bergh's solitary flight from New
York to I'ariB can equal this event
in Its power to stimulate the im
agination to soar into lofty heights.
The. zeppelin received a tremendous
welcome. Considering the effici
ency and daring of its intrepid
crew, no welcome could have been
too great.
This flight points to great possi
bilities in the cuiiinerclal world.
The Germans are bent upon exploit
ing this possibility to its furthest
extent. We venturo the suggestion
that this enterprise will not prove
unfruitful.
In tills swiftly moving world of
ours nothing BeeniB impossible. The
word "can't," it seems, will soon
bo erased from the dictionaries, or
put in the "obsolete" column.
"IN MY OPINION
Freshmen Are Individuals"
Editor the Missouri Student:
First of all, let me say that I am neither a fresh
man nor a sophomore; I am, nevertheless, Inter
ested in the annual freshmen sophomore quarrel re
garding what rules to keep, if any, and why.
It seems our poor Krosh who ventured remarks
on the subject some two weeks ago was answered
promptly and conventionally with the usual plati
tudes concerning Tiger spirit, Missouri tradition,
etc. One clever uperclassman even tried the old
"Hurts me worse than it hurts you" gag; he actu
ally stated that the freshman must not venture be
yond his doors after seven in the evenings, so that
he will be able to carry on the old Tiger tradition
next fall. Of course, we all know that such is
not the case; that the real purpose of this and other
rules Is to impress upon the freshman his supreme
Inferiority to his uprerclassmen, and the utter hope
lessness of his attempting to look out for his own
welfare.
The freshman is an individual, capable of mak
ing his own adjustments, I am sure, just as other
human beings. If any additional help is needed,
certainly the upperclassruen (sophs In particular,)
are not so superior to them in experience that they
can lay down dules of behavior with a high hand.
Perhaps, after all university officials are better
fitted for such an office do any sophomores dis
agree? As to tradition traditions come and traditions
go, but the Tiger tradition goes on forever. Won
derfulif true. Listen, Aloysius, I'll bet you a car
ton of cigarettes that almost . every tradition we
boast has changed very materially within the last
doxen years. Maybe then, there are others that are
getting old-fashioned.
Yes, It seems a little far fetched, I'll admit, but,
after all, why not civilize the universities? Per
sonally, I'm in favor of Bending the razzing tradi
tion along with the men's knee pants and women's
corsets.

OTHER EDITORS SAY
"OUTLANDISH"
Fraternities have been accused of making snobs
or near-snobs of the democratic products of Kansas
high schools. We are not far enough removed from
rush week to analyze this year's trend, but we can
begin our observations.
Some points to consider are: most of the boys
who are said to become snobbish here have had It
just beneath the surface all the time but haven't
had a chance to show their real colors; (2) making
a fraternity seems to be a supreme honor to a
freshman because it is his first honor at college;
(3) the fraternity, though seldom actually training
into the pledge a false Idea of Importance, does
often allow him to become undemocratic without
making any attempt to stop it.
During the life of a pledge, until he is at last
allowed to rut pins on his best girls, he Is com
pelled by his brothers to do many outlandish, dis
agreeable stunts. It would be an Interesting experi
ment for some of the houses to force their year
lings to speak to everyone they meet on the Hill
for a neriod. fraternity and non fraternity, male
and female.

The Mi Naiy-H.itigHn bill, which
President Coolidge vetoed last May,
is the center around which the con
troversy is centering In this cam
paign relative to the farm problem.
To understand the merits of the
arguments presented, it would bo
well to understand just what the
bill provided.
This hill provided for the estab
lishment of a federal farm board
to aid fanners' cooperative organ
izations in tljo marketing of farm
surpluses. It also set up advisory
councils to help the board, one
council to each commodity produc
ing an exportable surplus. The
board was to have an appropriation
of $400,000,000 to control the farm
surplus, and was authorized to
make loans to farmers' organiza
tions, and to make marketing
agreements with the cooperatives.
The feature of the hill that was
subjected to the most criticism and
was the basis of President Cool
idge's veto, was the so-called
"equalization" fee. This fee was to
have been levied against the com
modity surpluses to cover whatever
loss the farmers stood to suffer In
the disposal of the surpluses. If, for
example, there would be a surplus
of corn, over the amount necessary
to satisfy the diuiniud iu this cuun
try, a fee would be levied against
all growrs of corn, in proportion
to the amount Bold, to cover the
loss of the surplus that would have
to be sold abroad. The fee was to
have been assessed either during
the transportation, processing, or
sale of the commodity.

the land, the Dictator being hailed
as a popular hero. There Is no
questioning the fact that In many
ways the dictatorship has benefited
Spain. The Dictator puts a stop
to a tremendously expensive and
ridiculous war In Morrocco. He

develop her Internal resources.
With the nationalistic outlook of a
dictator, he has even expressed his
hopes for a world wide Spanish
entente.

OUT OF PERSPECTIVE
It Is sadly true that out-Btate folk often have an
unfortunate picture of student life In their great
state university. Many students have come home
to tell their tale and fc- ncluded only the excep
tional occasions. Again, some have attempted to live
the unwholesome life of the small majority as a place
where youngsters congregate to watch football
games, to take part in silly and sometimes harm
ful fraternity stunts. They visualize college life
as one continual wild party In which they do not
desire their children to take part.
The student who has come with such ideas soon
finds himself maladjusted and out of tune with tbe
whole system. He finds that the large part of his
day Is taken up with classes and laboratories and
the majority of his evenings with studies. His
fraternity, If he finds himself in one, uses strenuous
measures at times to keep him In proper social
bonds, and tbe parties are often finer and higher
in plane than those be bad at home.
When the student finds these truths he owes
his home folks the duty of a correct interpretation.
THEY SAW THE LIGHT
Favorable action on the moderation of Rough
week was taken by fraternities In their meetings
recently, following a unanimous decision by thn
local Inter-fraternity council to confine Hough week
activities to one week-end, and abolish all long
rosd trips. The action of the fraternities and others
Interested In student welfare to curb cruelty and
the Inevitable breakdown of scholastic standing
growing out of Hell week activities.
Not only have fraternities at Indiana seen the
risdom of condemning such action, but frater
nity men of many other schools have favored a
moderation of "rough." A statement recently was
Issued by Harold Illegelman, chairman of the Inter
fraternlty conference representing more than 60
national fraternities, deploring the death of Nolte
McElroy In an initiation this fall by a college frat
ernity at the University of Texas. Fraternity men
everywhere regret the unfortunate acldent, he said,
and recalled that half a million men, adopted resolu
tions six years ago condemning any conduct en
dangering In any way the physical well-being of
initiates.
The Rough week activities at Indiana, as they
now will be conducted, should not be harmful to
Initiates. What loss of sleep might occur will not
be as. harmful to studies as it was under the old
plan when "rough" was held for an entire week,
and freshmen and upperclassmen got little rest.
Fraternities should be commended for their ac
tion regarding "rough" as it shows a decided effort
and willingness to abolish all activities that are
harmful and Injurious to the general welfare of
ths fraternities and of the University.
