Marshall TlUer Lyman Csss FROM ANOTHER ANGLE Interpretation of the twenty-seven hour scholas tic requirement for students engaging In activities on the Nebraska campus places rcs. on the fact that It is ths duty of the I'nlversity to protect It homo product" from the encroachments of students coming from other schools and seeking to gain rec ognition In sctlvltles. The justiflcstion of the most recently uimouu e.l ruling b It applies to freshman students-barring thmn from participation In activities as fur as re ceiving recognition results In little more than myth. Freshmen. In comparatively few esses, reach those responsible positions on the campus during the first two semesters of their work in the I'nlversity. They sre In the apprentice stage, working up. get ting ths -hang" of things. The twenty-seven hour ruling, while In theory keeping them from participa tion In activities, urging high scholarship, does not change the actual situation. Freshmen sre "pushed" Into activities. They sre encouraged to work on publications, gaiu admittance Into minor organisations, and become generally known about the campus. This is one of the vital steps In the training of a freshman for an active career on the campus. The new ruling does not curb this practice In any way. Freshmen will be pushed to the extent that they can stand pushing. While there may be grounds for the contention that students coming to the University from some other institution should not have the privilege of entering the activity work, it appears on the surface to be a move prompted out of pure selfishness. It a studont comes to Nebraska with a satisfactory record at some other school, his very enrollment in the University entitles him to participate in those activities which lie happens to choose. The twenty-seven hour barrier protecting thd student who has been registered at the University at least a year is an Infringement upon new stu dents coming to Nebraska. Enrollment at Nebraska does not depend wholly upon the size of the fresh .man class; there are transfers being made by the hundreds during the course of four years. The re quirement, aa it has been interpreted, is a boon to the older students. It is protection. Activities mean competition. If the "home product" of the University, that Is, the student who has been here more than a year, is unable to com pete auccessfully with the student coming from an other school, then it is time for the University to at tempt to change the character of that group dubbed "home products." Legislation against the new stu dents to bar them from participation In activities will never help to make CornhuMters. It is absurd to think, that a man or woman coining from another school with a splendid scholastic record Is not able or not vorthy of a chance to participate In activi ties. The twenty-seven hour ruling as It affects new students Is nothing short of high tariff. As it affects freshmen, it is a fairy tale. As a protective measure to insure higher scholar ship among the participants in activities, to place a requirement that the student must have successfully completed twenty-seven hours the previous two semesters, the ruling is commendable. Activities have needed some safeguard such as this. It will eventually work for a better grade of men and women la activities and create respect for extra currlcular work rather than contempt and charge of incompetency and manipulation. It does not hamper the freshman beyond prevent ing him from receiving recognition, and it slaps the new student square In the face. Believe it or not, one can find out all about th University by asking any student, as all of them have formed mature judgments on the subject. Politicians seem to be lotting interest since only one candidate filed each of the Ag club offices the other day. IN THE DARK Molestation of coeds of the campus Monday night by an unknown prowler and the resultant fir ing on the campus policeman who hastened to frus trate attempts to harm the young women has neces sitated the addition of guns to the equipment of campus watchmen. This most recent ei:.iode of frightening coeds .going to and from the University after night, attending night classes, and studying at the library, is but another of the Incidents of such character that have gone on for some time. The University will continue to be the after night work-shop of hundreds of students. Night class will continue to be held. Night library work is almost a necessity for every student. The Uni versity buildings are located in a section of the city somewhat remote from the main thoroughfares of traffic; regular police vigilance is not present dur ing the evening hours. A short time ago, following the accosting of a coed returning from a night class, requests were made for the installation of a better lighting sys tem for the campus grounds. That was nearly two weeka ago. No lights have been added. When the dangers of having women students tucked on the very grounds of the University, early in the evening, continue, then It is time to act Con senting to permit night watchmen to carry firearms 111 not alleviate the difficulty of having a campus doused In blaokneaa. It will not g1v assurance to the coed who uiuol fuyueut the remyua aftemight that she will be unmolested. It will not prevent a prowler from stalking coeds-but HI almple make him more cautious and treuchirou. SAME OLD RUT The habit of Independent thinking on books.

I am aware that the great majority of those who saw the production were disgusted with the Players In presenting the curtain-raiser, "Shsil We Join the Ladles." This one-act play began well and was extremely interesting. It had the makings of a delicious mystery play. The actors carried the plot well up to the climax then drop ped It. The curtain descended; the audience was left daied. What was the solution! Was this a "Lady and Tiger" Idea? Why didn't they, finish? The audience was disgusted and disappointed. The fact Is, the Players made a grave mistake In not explaining, through the medium of the programs, that "Shall We Join the Ladles" was written by Bar-Tie Just prior to his death, and it was never finished. It is a gem, as far as it goes, and Is frequently produced. But no ending was ever written; and this should have been pointed out. "Plsyers goers" don't know this. A London society offers a prize to the person presenting the correct solution, but the prise has never been claimed, and who knows what the solution Is, any way, when it was locked in Bar rio's mind? Mr. Calvin Coolidge, private cltl sen, has turned author. Having re treated to his haven, he tells re porters that he has no plans. But ho Is writing. Already, thr first of his articles hss appeared. The April Cosmopolitan (Issued the elahth of March) features Part 1 of "Mr. Coolldge's Own Story." I "The Price In Heartaches of Being j President." This deals with his i entering and leaving the presi dency. His article is very short which Is consistent with Coolidge. And Incidentally, I understand that j he receives $6 per word. No won-1 der he can afford to make his writings brief. And the standard ; price to new authors is about 2c.

BETWEEN THE LINES By LaSollo Glim an L All Popular Colors and Head Sin FLOOR TWO wmmmmmmmmmi etetOe-fc "Crusade," by Donn Byrne, 250 pp. Itoston: Little, Brown, and to. $2. This Is a very delightful story, written with a wealth of feeling and plcturesqueness and beauty. One might compare it, in a way, with "Ivanhoe," though to say that, would be likely to frighten away many a prospective reader. It is not so weighty, however, as Scott's novel of the crusades, nor so long and involved. Donn Byrne has set down a love-tale, and woven It Into the background of the East and the wars. His hero is Irish as is Byrne himself and prac tically the only drawback to the story is the fact that the author has devoted perhaps a bit too much time to Irish history.
