purely secondary to her underlying purpose. The
reel thing Is to acquire It."
Back and forth, tho warfare over the coed con
tlnuea. Ia refutation to the doctrine propounded
by Trealdent Nellson of Smith college that the
coed should be educated for the earne ends as men.
Dr. W. Beran Wolfe advances his theory that the
coed Is engaged la perpetual man hunt and that
the adocaUoa of the coed Is woefully misdirected.
The article appears In the March Forum.
In this age of the modernistic coed, for she has
been dubbed tnodernlsUo In every age, the vast
majority of tho women students In colleges and
universities are those that are Intent on proving
that they are able to measure up to the abtllUea
of men students. So the coed does not necessarily
hare to bs 'belligerent to get In the swath that
Pr. Wolfe is cutting. To prove that they are as pro
ficient, as capable In classroom, and as courageous
in stepping out Into the world of public affairs, are
the objects of every cod. whether admitted or not.
The spirit of Independence finds Its birthplace
among college women, and the conceptions of poli
tical snd economic equality are well nourished.
There Is difficulty In reconciling the opinion
that the young woman who la obatlnaie and Intent
upon her mission to outdo mankind would resort
to the continual round of proms, parties and heavy
.tes to prove her equAllty. Participation In the
mirial whirlpool Is a flimsy argument for the edu
rator to base a conclusion upon. "The real pur
pose is to acquire It," concludes Dr. Wolfe, in show
lug that educational systems are lagging in offering
the coed a chance.
If the parauiouui. puipua of the CO3 is tho
quest of a gay life with perhaps the vision of a
mate, then how Is the observer going to account
for the low marriage rate among college graduates t
What explanation is going to be given for those
that do engage In professional or commercial pur
suits after leaving college t There is no validity to
the argument that a coed, in proving that she is
'as good as any man,' resorts to pastime and en
tertainment. The catch in the contention of Dr.
Wolfe, It seems, comes In faulty observation. Par
ticipation In the excesses of society life are natur
ally Uie things that are moat readily grasped as
general conditions of college life. There is no way
to tell that they are actually excesses, unless one
tit two students art carefully checked over a speci
fied period,
Because the student, man or woman, possesses
that remarkable ability to relax, forget, and to en
joy, after period of Intense concentration, or in the
midst of study, the condemnation rains in torrents.
Tha generalization is made that such activity is
tha sole content and purpose of college education.
Subtract the diversions of college life, jam a

A LONG WAIT ENDED
Appearance of first semester grade cards yes
terday was sufficient to rake a few of the smoulder
ing embers out of the pile of ashes and revive the
suggestion that was made during the first half of
the year for the posUng of semester grades Im
mediately after the final examinations. The grade
cards, of coarse, had to come out, but the incident
stimulated comment and thoughts of a system that
would do away with the long watt for a report from
a course.
in many cases, however, the student was well
aware of the evaluation that waa placed upon his
perSormance in a course before the arrival of the
cares yesterday. And then again, there were prob
aoly far more who knew nothing of their grade.
Some instructors were gracious enough and consld--eiate
enough of the student attitude toward grades
to post the final marks immediately after compila
tion. Others, during the course of the first quarter
of the second semester, found relief from the siege
of pestering students to reveal final t andlngs. Then,
there were those who have sueres (fully frustrated
ell attempts to JI nmy' out a hint as to grades.
Others are as impieirn-.ble a a i!t.i in the hands
of a two-year old kid.
The fact remains that at the present time no
system of grade posting haa been devised and uni
versally accepted among members of the faculty.
Opinions sounded out during the past semester were
none too favorable to such a system. The chief ob
jectloa to such a plan seems to be that students
would place even more emphasis upon grades than
they are doing at the present time. tore logical
would be that the postponement of grade announce
ments until the appearance of the grade cards places
vitt more emphasis upon the matter of grades.
Student clamor for gradee because they believe
i'7 I si p-i i-rrt tirM to know at once the
i ; i : ! course. It is a matter
of rurtn-li, .no mil a matter of grade-hounding.

Tsrdy grade reports from rlaiaes will continue

A STUDENT LOOKS
AT PUBLIC A I FA IKS
By DavK Follmar
Of filial llutlrtiii
With the appeaianre of the Wild West number
of the Awfwan, many thought that Kouml t'p week
waa already here.
ENFORCEMENT
According to an announcement from the offlcs
of the dean of alud.-nt a (full a, freahmen and other
flrt year people at the Tnlveroliy will not be able
to participate In major actlvlilt . This I brought
about by a ruling that ent Into effect at the be
ginning of his semeater stating that "untvcwlty tu
dent cannot participate lu actlvlilus unlea they
hae made twenty-oeven hour In the to semeiiter
preceding the current one."
Other studenta at the Inlversity wilt a I no be
affected by this statute, negardless of the length
of time the student ha been at Nebraska he must
)ve kept 'up his twenty-seven hour requirement or
be dropped from lila attlilliea.
.Such a ruling, according to authorities Is dec
lined to eliminate student from coming to the I'nl
verslty primarily to engage themselve In actlvltle
and lo bar freshmen in ordel to give them more
time to devote to scholarship.
By placing the aires upou scholarship a the
first requirement for activities, the University ha
made it apparent to student that "that what they
are here for." Too many students in the past have
placed activities first and studied In their leisure.
Puch a ruling aa long as It Is enforced will tend
to discourage this attitude.
Much criticism that has been showered upon the
ko called "activities msn" has found its source pri
marily from the fact that activities detract from
scholarship. The newly-enforced scholarship ruling
should eliminate a greater part or this criticism.
The same rule will likewise discourage students
who come here from other schools to participate in
activities. In the words of one authority, this type
of student "extracts the juice from the orange In
one school and then turns to another Institution
for the same purpose." It has been said in the past
studenta of this type and even professionals in dra
matic! and music have been encouraged to come to
Nebraska solely for participation in these various
extra-curricular functions.
A situation of this kind furnishes additional
competition for the "native" student who, perhaps,
is striving for the same thing for which the "out
sider" is working snd the "native" loses because
of the advance training of his opponent.
As for the students who have been In the in
stitution the required length of time, the law will
spur them to keep up at least a moderate amount
of work. It ia a safeguard against the type of stu
dent who is not capable of keeping up in his studies
or those who would neglect them for activities.
The ruling In its multi-fold purpose will function
to justify the position of activities and at the same
time protect the University's "home product."
Between the rumble of steam shovels and cam
pus cars, students are better able to keep awake.
Rushing Is war, according to some authority.
Then what was It that Sherman said about war?
- - Most of the bets are settled by this time. Grade
cani came out yeateruay.
One. of the unpleasant things about spring Is
that there have been a few trench coats survive !
the winter. I
Some of the big men on the campus are just
finishing their careers in the nick o' time. The j
twenty-seven hour requirement would he a great :
handicap to most of them. 1

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW
COLLEGE-TRAINED MILKMEN
Addressing the department of superintendence
of the National Education association. In annual con
vention at Cleveland, the Hon. Edward C. Elliott,
B.Sc, A.M., Ph.D.. president of Purdue university,
advocated even more genera! attendance at college
than obtains at present. "The butcher, baker, and
candlestick maker all should, have a college educa
tion," he said. "We should have college-trained
milkmen as well as doctors, college-trained linotype
operators as well as lawyers." It seems to us that
this Is an excellent Idea, and we beg leave to sub
mit, for the course to be given milkmen st least, a
tentative curriculum, a follows:
Milk Delivery 1. A broad survey course de
signed to acquaint the student with the principles
of the trade; the percussive properties of csns and
bottles, and how to make them sound loudest; keep
ing the wagon in street car tracks, and how to make
it squeak when rounding corners. Three hours a
week during the first semester. Open to all.
Milk Delivery S. A continuation of 1. Three
hours a week during second semester.
Milk Delivery 3a. Cans. A thorough drill in
how to roll, push, and kick cans so they can be
heard five blocks. Students will be expected to give
a demonstration at the end of the course. Two hour
a week during first semester. Prerequisite: Milk
Delivery 1 and 2.
Milk Delivery 8b. Bottles. -How to rattle bottle
ao they sound like a carillon; how to roll empties
down a hall; how to jam a dumbwaiter o it will
go neither up nor down; how to drop a whole bas
ket of cream bottles down an elevator shaft with
the maximum effect. Two hours a week during sec
ond semester. Prrequislte: Milk Delivery 1, 2,
and 3a.
Milk Delivery 4. A look at the future. What
can be done about paper bottles? Is it feasible to
blow these up and make them pop? If so, how are
empties to bs obtained? A 6000-word thesis will
be required of all students who expect credit for
this course. Three hours a week during second
semester. Prerequisite: Milk Delivery 1, 2, Sa,
snd 2b.
Of course, a few things have been overlooked
here, such as collateral reading and conferences with
the instructor; but on the whole we think it is a
fairly good course, snd will turn out milkmen
equipped to accept the responsibilities of their trace.

The republican party Is cer
tainly bound, by Ita repeated plat
form pledge, to secure the en
trance or the United State luto
the World Court. President Hard
ing made vague and ambiguous
promise for soma sort of Interna
tional cooperation during his front-port-h
campaign for the presidency,
although he was unalterably op
posed to American adherence to
the League of Nation. Then Presi
dent Coolldge set out, aa one of
the great goals of hi administra
tion. America' entrance Into the
World Court. The platforms of the
republican party in 1924 and 192$
specifically pledged the party to
our joining the International tri
bunal. President Hoover's Inaug
ural address also contained a sim
ilar pledge. The republican party
should leave nothing undone to
provide a way to make the en
trance of the United States into
the permanent court of Interna
tional Justice possible. Not to do
so would be a patent disregard of
her plain moral duty.
a
In the field of world politic the
most Interesting and absorbing
center of activity Is our southern
neighbor, Mexico, where they pre
fer to crack heads, rather than to
count them, in order to settle poli
tical questions. Newspaper dis
patches seem to Indicate that the
federal forces have the revolution
pretty well In hand. They are un
der the command of former Presi
dent Calles. now acting as general
issimo of the government forces.
It Is reported that the attitude of
the American government Is a very
Important factor In the success of
the established government In Mex
ico. We have adopted a hands-off
policy which, as It means an em
bargo upon the shipping of military
supplies to the revolutlonsry
forces. Is militating strongly
against the revolutions! res.
one of the most puzxllng fea
iiii of this revolution Is the mer
er irl nature of the Mexican
t roups. The facility and ease with
vt!ii-:i the regularly established
K:irisons of the federal govern
"inr rt,ert Hielr standard, and
Join the rebel cause, is difficult to
understand. And when the tide of
battle shifts, the Mexican soldier
seems to have no difficulty to ad
Just his conscience and his mili
tary" ardors to the cause which he
had Just forsaken. The explanation
for the whole situation seems to
be that the Mexican soldier simply
try to piok the winner. It is easy
to ec-e liiat In a country with such
unstable and variable politics as
Mexico hss. it means everything,
from a livlihood to the preserva
tion of the neck, to be on the win
ning side. In the quicksands of
Latin-American politics, it ia great
to be one of the "Ins." and might

Premier Mussolini conducted an
unusual sort of national party con
vention In Rome last Sunday after
noon. He called together all the
men in .the realm w ho are running
on the fascist ticket in the coming
national elections, from the most !
-humble mayoralty candidate to the
candidate for the honor of sitting
In the parliament. The occasion
was the quinquennial assembly of
the fascist party, called together
by Its founder and sole boss, to
celebrate the birth of the party.
The principal and only matter of
business for the vast and impres
sive meeting was the speech of
the premier.
The chief topic of Interest with
which the prime minister of Italy
dealt was the relation of the state
to the Catholic church. He hailed
the treaty of February 11 as a
gnat landmark In the history of
tn orld, and particularly In the
dipW.t isiic history of the state and
the h-::.- He Indicated that it
wa no i ioi'-j than right that in a
state wtu-ie the predominant ma
jority of the people were of the
Catholic faith, the Catholic church
should be accorded a pre-eminent
position. At the same time, he
guaranteed absolute liberty of re
ligion to all other faiths. "A Cath
olic state," he asserted, "does not
mean that citlxen will be sub
mitted to any pressure to follow
a given religion or determined
faith even though that be the same
aa that profeased by a majority of
the people."
