NYbrsska's clul has Ih-.h iliscout in

on the campus, tho orpsiiizntion has hen tlnun

veara.
Ilurinc the last two seasons its i-utuiinry
tour of the state, the annual innjor in-tivity of
the club, has been dropped from lh- program.
Last year the only out-of-town ciiirair tin nt
failed to pay the expenses of the rronp.
Now conies word from its director of the
official death of the organization, not to !.
n mirrected triloss a complete rcuriranizatiou
can be effected.

Engaged in the round of ,-l
Ity, characteristic of colli ge life, c
liers of the glee club themselves w l
s-t their loss and "ill turn swi. time ;i nas
formerly given to the club to their othr io
lensts. But there is another factor to be taken
into consideration. In making its tours ov. r
the state in years past the glee club has served,
as consciously or unconsciously every organi
zation and individual does which noes out m..u
the campus, in the capacity of an advtrti.s.ng
agency for the university.
It is surprising to note how little is really
known in many communities throughout the
-rate concerning the work of tin university.
Many a skeptic has had his misapprehensions
eonoerning the institution cleared away and
been won over as a friend and supporter of the
school through just such a visit to his town by
a campus group of the more wholesome kind as
that rrade annually in past years by the men's
glee club.
The loss of such a power for the promotion
of good will is the truly sad thing about the
disappearance of this organization at the Uni
versity of Nebraska.

SOoll fof-
Somcthing ThaCt Seeded.
Students in Lincoln are entirely ignoring
one aspect of university work that really is in
eluded among the most important. Ask any
student what he knows about the medical col
lego in Omaha and you will readily recognize
the lack of that something. Nt only are stu
dents behind in such knowledc- but many par
ents 'and citizens in the state are in the same
predicament.
The Nebraskan courageously bears most
of the blame for the condition that exists
among students. Ever since the founding of
the Omaha college this newspaper has never
attempted to give any spaee to medical news
of any kind. That this ha-s beena mistake, we
sadly acknowledge.
Why can't local students be cognizant of
what the medics are doing T Why can't the
citizens of the state know there is such a thing
as a medical college connected with the Uni
versity of Nebraska, where young men are
trained for one of the most responsible profes
sions t
In reply .we can only say that The Ne
braskan should start right now and give pub
licity to the Omaha department. Negotiations
have been started; The N'ebraskan is willing,
the whole matter now hinges on the reaction
of the medical college itself.
If the arrangements can be completed, as
we hope, in favor of our proposal, then Ne
braska students will have no excuse for their
dire insufficient intelligence concerning the
college of medicine. Nor should the parents of
students continue in the same track. The stu
dents, learning of the college's work through
the columns of this newspaper, will be able to
give correct informal ion to their folks.
The Nebraska college of medicine is en
titled to as much advertising as its sister col
leges; it needs advertising; let us hope it gets
its share.

The Daily Nebraskan office are located in
the basement of University hall rooms 4 and
4A, to be exact. These rooms are not hard to
find, yet somehow only a small percentage of
student ever sees the home of the university's
newspaper.
Now that the work is fairly well started
for the semester, we extend a warm welcome to
all student to visit us and watch us work.
Wa shall be glad to show you our business de

Recognition of religion as a definite part
of a sin. lent 's life is evidenced in the observa
tion Sunday of nil university church day. Hun
d'v.ls of students answered the hearty welcome

services of tloir particular denomination.
To ninny this may have been the first time
chinch attendance has been more than nr.li
mrv routine of home-life. llniM'ilv only n few
wili welcome this time when they "don't have
to go to church. " Those who before this have
"had to go t church." will find in voluntary
attendance a nrw opportunity for seriotiH
thought.
Lincoln churches, ever considerate of the
welf.uo of univci.sit stud.nts. have as pastors
some of the most capable men of the state.
Visits to many of the sanctuaries of the city
daring the school year would offer wonderful
opportunity for a broad and intelligent view
of religion.
Those who hold the peculiar rah rah idea
of coil-go must find it hard to reconcile such
iews with the serious attention given to all
university church night and all university
church Sunday.

Echoes of the Campus.
Letters from reader! are cordially welcomed
in this department, and will be printed in an
ess subject to the common newspaper practice
of keeping out of all libelous matter and attack
against individuals and rclifllons. For the benefit
of readers a limit of 250 words has been set. The
name of the author must accompany each letter,
but the full name will not be puolished unless so
desired by the contributor.
An Appreciation.
T othe IMitor of The Nebraskan:
First, the writer wishes to assure you that
whatever is said in this "echo" is without the
knowledge or consent of the person primarily
concerned. That this "person" is a friend of
the writer is acknowledged to be true; yet,
does anvone deny to another the right to speak
in behalf of a friend! Now that we understand
one another let us "go on with the story."
Sunday's Nebraskan contained an article
purporting" to announce the retirement of Alan
(i. Williams from campus politics. Now the
writer has no "inside knowledge" whether this
is or is not true, but he has very good reasons
(not concealed) for hoping that this statement
is not true.
Now, frankly, wouldn't it take a lot of
color out of campus life if the most aggressive
and picturesque figure of the whole lot was
suddenly to become "t busy!" It can be
easilv understood why some "folks" with so
cial ambitions could desire Alan's retirement
there would be "less friction" they say be
tween the "groups" but I cannot believe that
the Greeks. tVmselves, want him to retire. You
see the only implication would be that the
Greeks fear a good fight, and whoever heard
of anv college chap particularly a Greek
who fearer! tne joy oi a goou pt-iiuoi 4""-
i ou never win.
But." vou sav, "perhaps Williams, nim-
" "Perhans is a goon
,.-,.,.A t .T,.t tVmk- it out for yourselves if you
doubt my conclusions. Take, for instance, the
fact that Alan conies from the very same stock
as Lloyd George. Did you ever hear of an Eng
lishman or, more specifically, a Welshman
who, convinced that he was right, showed his
colors to be white! Let us not be foolish!
Still, you contend, wouldn't the "demo
cratic feeling" be promoted if there were less
politics; wouldn't Williams be glad to see such
a state of affairs; and wouldn't he feel his re
tirement would insure such a condition! Dear
readers, an American might be fooled by such
"ballyhoo" but never an Englishman. Alan
must realize, as all thinking Englishmen d,
that democracy is a mere figment of the poli
tician's imagination; and, aa far as the Ne
braska campus is concerned, is merely a nicely
baited tidbit prepared for the consumption of
unsuspecting Barbs. (If you believe that the
Greeks are so easily fooled, just watch their
constant scrutiny of the region over your heart
in search for a pin. Watch and learn!)
To see the chap retire who gave the Barbs
whatever of recognition they have on this
campus, is, to my way of thinking, unthink
able. Others may boast of their efforts in be
half of the nonfraternity group, but the fact
remains that the greater share of the work and
effective thinking was done by Alan himself.
ThisL moreover, was done in the face of daily
disappointments, embitterments, and rebuffs.
Let us hope that this "retirement" is not
to be! J )1IN ALDEN-

"Whither Mankind." compiled by
Charles A. Beard, is a modern
symposium, the aim of which has
been to set up a balance sheet of
our machine civilization. He has
summoned to the task a group of
eminent men, each of whom casts
up an audit of his own special field
of interest in contemporary life.
It Introduces into its pages per
tinent problems which we must
face in relation to science, busi
ness, law. war. tne lamuy. eauca-i
tion, literature, and a host of
others. Not recommended as light
reading. It Is one of the most illu
minating and brilliantly conceived
critical estimates of present day
civilization we have yet had. Pub

Brief synopsis of the S. M. U.
Nebraska game: A lot of people

the stadium. Some men trying to
take a ball to the north goal post.
Some men trying to take a ball to
the south goal post. A lot of peo
ple carrying white flags walking
south from the stadium.
