BIO STEW OVER NOTHING
Appearing In the editorial columna of nbe Ne
braskan tbla morning la a dlscusslou of the origin
and Import of the words Greek and Barb. Torhaps
there U a bit of Intimation hidden In the article;
perhapt not. At any rate. It attempt to place the
fraternity men and women In the palm of one hand,
and the non fraternity nii-u and women In the palm
of the other band.
To contend that a monopoly of culture (a no
longer In the bands of the fraternity men and
women, and to atate that the barb In one who re
nialnt free to ault himself, does not unlock the por
lala to any new theory of education or class dis
tinction on college campuses. That there la a dif
ference between the Greek and the Barb. Is a mat
ter of opinion.
The article comes at an opportune time for
making comment upon the efforts of the non-fraternity
men and women on the Nebraska campus to
bold a Barb Frolic, and to perfect an organization
for the advancement of their Interests on the cam
pusparticularly those Interests that are identified
with elections.
It would not be a college campus if there was
not a political situation comparable to that of the
Nebraska campjs. It would be a poor specimen of
college If there were not fraternity and non-fraternity
organisations stepping off the distance ever
so often, ready to duel. Fraternities possess the
advantage of being organized by virtue of their liv
ing condltldns; non-fraternity organizations must
combat that phase of the encounter.
An attempt to erect the framework of a rigid
non-fraternity organization, strong enough to with
stand the gusts of political wind generated by the
fraternity men and women, Is commendable. It does
not strike terror into the hearts of the fraternity
leaden. Nor do they feel sufficiently anchored to
boast to the -world that they cannot be uprooted.
The danger lies In drawing the line too finely
between the status of the frattrnlty man and the
non-fraternity man on a great university campus.
Overt attempts to organize provoke antagonism. It
leads to the conception that there is an abysmal
gap between tbe two groups of students. It gives
rise to tbe faulty belief that there actually exists
a 'downtrodden portion of the student body.
A situation of this character Is detrimental to
a school. Politics on a college campus are not so
profound and significant that the student body
should be split asunder by a stampede of eltUer
fraternity or non-fraternity men and women.
There won't be any crashers at the Barb party
tomorrow night since there is a twenty-five ceot
admission price.
STILL COMING
Demanding that the May Queen be elected by
the entire student body of tbe University, demand
ing that the students be given a chance to express
iiieir Opiiiioiia aa lu wliO should be the most iep
resenlative of Nebraska's coeds, charging that a
handful of senior women elect 'he Queen tbe pro
testa continue coming.
That University of Nebraska students deslri to
see the election of the May Queen removed from
its present status, isentirely evident now. That
they realize the significance of the election of a
representative.,! by the entire student body is
r-teWtact.
trw much longer will the catci-as catch can
,ht nf choosing the May Queen continue How
much longer will the students of Nebraska gag over
the selections? How much longer will there be in
sistence that there is but one way to elect a May
Queen tue present one? How much longer will six
thousand students accept the choice of a few senior
women w'no nrg governed by Individual whims and
fancies wben casting a ballot?

A STUDENT LOOKS
AT rfBUC AFFAIRS
tjy David e!ime
More attention can be attracted In a quiet II
Imry by failing down. This Is a suggtstlon.
luvesilgatora wouldn't find any difficulty in lo
cating cracks In the walls of 'L" ball.
It would be tough on the aviation student If he
went to sleep In class.
It Is a wonder someone doesn't ttart advocating
more standing room In front of Social Sciences.
OTHER STUDENTS SAY
GREEK AND BARS
In the days of ancient Greece there was de
veloped In the Oreek states a very high state of
civilisation. Yet this culture was but a veneer. The
entire social column was founded upon the Insti
tution of slavery, upon the depression of the masses,
that the fern- might rise.
The Creeks In their egotism regarded all who
were not Oreeks as barbarians, the unrouth and
uncultured. But as the Greek civilisation was not
basically sound, it did not survive. The barbarians,
however, today are tbe cultured peoples and they
Inhabit a large part of the world. The reason for
this overwhelming of the Greeks by the barbarians
was because the foundations of the barbarians were
laid In democracy.
Today on many university campuses organiza
tions have revive-J this custom of dividing their
little world Into two groups Oreeks and Barbs. The
significance of the words, however, has changed;
now Greeks means merely a small group that hap
pens to be designated by a Greek letter, while Barb
refers to such students as have no such affiliation.
The monopoly of culture Is no longer In the
bands of the Greeks. The old barbarians boasted
that grass never grew where once their horse trod.
Today we find the president of the United States,
was a barb while in school. The Greeks of today are
no longer considered among the leading cultural na
tions of the world.
Then Greek today merely means on the campus
that the student haa chosen to affiliate himself with
an organization designated by a Greek letter, while
Barb means that the student has for some reason
not chosen to affiliate himself and is free to suit
himself.

To the Editor:
I understand that only 68 rotes were cast this
year for May Queen. If this Is true, students cer
tainly have a right to raise serious objections, no
matter who may have been seltb.ed.
No girl chosen by a plurality of votes out of a
total of 68 rotes has any right to represent tbe
Institution on at imporant an occasion as Ivy day.
I think you will find many students commending
your editorial of Wednesday.
Can't something be done to secure the election
by some really representative means of a May
Queen for Ivy day this year? Or are students going
to be forced to swallow this "sassafras" aa a tra
dition? Another Protester
To thd Editor:
Tradition should build respect. When a tradi
tion Is ridiculed by the majority of the students,
its purpose has failed. It should be abandoned.
The election of a representative senior coed to
serve as May Queen has become a Joke on the Ne
braska campus. This Is because the May Queen Is
not representative. A truly representative coed can
not be chosen when two dozen votes, cast with per
sonal ends In view, will choose the May Queen.
The students of this University have a student
council which has as lis duty the supervision of stu
dent activities. Why should not thle body take ac
tion to tee that the student body obtains a truly
lepresentatlve coed as May Queen? The lda of
selecting a May Queen Is fine. The present method
of selecting her Is rotten, in every sense of the
word. The student council can change that method.
It should do so.
If the student council does not take action on
this matter the students thould demand that it does.
Abolish the election of a May Queen or else see that
she Is a truly representative coed of whera all tbe
students will be 'proud.

ANOTHER POINT OF VTEW
COLLEGIATE 17SS
Sbed a tear for tbe Individuals who sought a
college education way back In 1792! Here'e an
excerp from the rule of Coketbury college, founded
In 1788.
"Studente thall rite at 5 o'clock winter apd
summer. Their recreations thall be gardening,
walking, riding and bathing without doort, and tbt
carpenters', tuners' or cabinet-makers' business with
in doors.
"Tbe students shall be indulged with nothing
that the world calls play; let thlt be observed wlta
tbe strictest nicety; for those who play when they
are young will play when they are old."

The American tttte department
as well as tbe departments of Jus
tire and tbt ireaaury. art confront
ed with a very embarrassing quet
lion. The Washington police Inter
rapiad and ronflarated tlity rasas
of forbidden alcoholic liquors wblt h
were beaded for the Klameat lega
t.ii Klni nur hlchest feder
al officials have been called upon
to reconcile our own aomranc
with the rulea and Immemorial
practices of International comity.
It appeart. however, that tbe prob
lem will be readily aolved, and tha
ministerial staff of Slam will be
able to enjoy a little drink now and
then, aa Internationa couyteay at
taches a great deal of personal Im
munity to the members Of the for
elgn legations In Washington.
The federal departments are un
doubtedly sorely rexed with tbe
meddling of the Washington police
Into a matter than has always run
very smoothly heretofore. The
bunsllna- police should have known
that diplomatic liquor la quite dif
ferent than the ordinary mongrel
brands. Nevertheless, the state
and Juitlce departments art bavlag
their little Investigation, and there
la a hasty scramble through the
prereilenta to find authorities. And
the officials who are entrusted
with the taxk of settling this ques
tion are praying that Congress will
some day legislate on the matter,
so that future questions of this tort
w ill not occur.
The latent newt from Mexico In
dicates that the revolution Is now
doomed to fullure. The federal
troops have Invested Torreon. that
has been the stronghold and rally
ing point for the rebels. It has been
reported that Oeneral Escobar, tbt
leader of the revolutionists, and bis
army, are In precipitate retreat.
This revolution Is brluglng out, In
bold relief, the value of airplanes
In war. In tbe use of which the fed
eral forces have a tremendous ad
vantage. The planes are proving
very valuable In scouting and lo
cating the enemy's movements, and
are most effective engines of war. t
.More than anything else, the Mext
cau soldier Is terrified by tbe drop
ping of bombs from the air.
Marshall Ferdinand Foch of
France died last Wednesday eve
ning. In his seventy-eighth year,
after an Illness of two months. His
death marks the passing of one of
the chief personalities In the war
drama. Just eleven years sro. Msr
shall Koch, bero of the first bat
tle of the Marne. was given com
mand of all the allied and Ameri
can forces on the western front.
From March. 1918. till the end of
the war, Marshall Foch, as general
issimo of all the armies, was able
to direct all the vast, fighting forces
at bis disposal, to fight as one
unit. The skill with which he dis
charged the tremendous responsi
bilities of his office have been gen
erously attested to by those who
served under him.
a a
Tresldent Hoover expressed the
sorrow of the nation on the passing
of France's great war hero. "I
have learned with sincere regret,"
he said, "of tbe death of Marshall
Foch. I shared the respect and ad
miration In which he is universally
held, but beyond this it was my
privilege to have been closely as
sociated with him in various activ
ities after the war, and in this way
to gain perhaps a special Insight
not only to his ability but also to
bis fine human qualities of straight
forwardness, kindness and modesty.
1 realize how keenly his loss will
be felt by the French people. In
this loss tncy have tbe full sym
pathy of our people."
Tbe latent political fiasco In
Oklahoma has been brought to an
end with the Impeachment of Gov
ernor Johnson. He Is the second
successive governor of the state
who has been removed by tbe legis
lature via the lrapreachment pro
cess. The charge against the gov
ernor partook of the nature of per
sonal delinquency. In tbe main
rather than political Irregularity.
On the other hand, Governor John
son claims that he In the victim of
political spoilsmen, that his polit
ical career has been blasted by of
fice seekers whose appetites he
had failed to satisfy. The senate
vote was thirty-five to nine, a very
decisive decision.
a a
We havo a little suggestion to
make In this connection. Now that
the removing propensities of the
legislature of Oklahoma are so very
evident, with the ousting of two
governors in a row, It would be a I
meritorious rerorm, pernaps, to
abolish the direct election of the
rovernor br the vote of the people.
and to allow the governor to be
chosen by tbe legislature hence
forth. It Is a waste of money ana
effort for the people to go through
the whole process of electing a
governor and then have the legis
lature, by the exercise of Its Ju
dicial prerogatives, remove the gov
ernor summarily, and swear in the
lieutenant-governor. To insure a
envemor who would always be In
agreement with the legislature, let
the legislature choose one itself.
Thlt will remove the necessity of
frequent and costly impeachment
processes. Insure a great degree of
harmony In the conduct of tbe etate
government, and maintain tbe dig
nity and reputation of the atats of
Oklahoma In the great American
sisterhood of sovereign states,

It Is Interesting to note that the
very influential Association of the
Bar of the city of New York Is on
record at being opposed to the
Volstead act, and In favor of the
repeal of the Eighteenth amend
ment. The association it now in a
rather embarrassing position, as
Mrs. Mabel Wlllebrandt, assistant
United States attorney-general, and
apostle of tbe dry forces In the
last political campaign, had been
asked to tpeak before tbe associa
tion. Some members of the bar
are protesting against her speak
ing to them, although her address
will deal with the work of tht de
partment of Justice. It was re
ported that one member of the
lecture committee had threatened
to resign, and was dissuaded from
his design only uom the assurance
that Mrs. Wlllebrandt had been In
vited to ipekt before The tamialgn
Kagan It Is earnestly boned that
Mrs Wlllebrandt will do nothing
to disturb tha teltraie aanslbllltles
of the members of tht bar of New
Yoik City, aud slay off the touchy
question of prohibition.
