worthless tradition of rrvjuirinpr freshmen to
wear green cap. One kIhii11 not Itecoine ex
eited over thin .however, for it i not the uni
versity that require" this of the yearling.
According to a recent editorial in the Lin
coln Journal, 't he wearing or riwd caps It?
freshmen is a tdiidctit ruling over which the
Nebraska university authorities have taken no
jurisdiction. The plan is sponsored by the
senior men's society, the Innocents, who colled
the fee nud give out card to he presented al
a furnishing store ror the cap.
"The ract that the can! ix stamped on the
hack, Validated, Sept. 20, V.V'.K John K. Sel
leek, agent for student activities,' has led the
recipient to believe that the universit? pets
the $1 fee. Mr. Selleck says this is a mistake.
The tickets pass through his office the same
as all fees for dances ami other universit?
activities a method adopted several years ago
to prevent graft b? individuals."
The Xebraskau is grateful to the Journal
Tor the enlightenment it has spread throughout
I he state. That's the kind of publicity this
university should have in order to dispel the
many nialimpressions that are formed by its
financial supporters.
The green cap ruling is not authorized by
the university. It i,s not a matter of life and
death for the freshman as rar as the university
is concerned. The university does not receive
the money; therefore, why should it sponsor
the tradition?
Furthermore, the Tradition" has seemed
to have become anything but a real tradition
iu the past few years. Especially is this so
this year when that group of thirteen 'r'eprc.
sentaUve" seniors no need to give the intnie
has made no organized attempt at enforce
ment of the project.
To us it appears the 'tradition" has be
come a source of revenue a money making
scheme for this body. If it were a tradition,
why don't these men aim to enforce it? All
they seem to have cared about is to snatch;
the dollars out of the freshman's hands at
time of registration and then let the frosh
do what they will about getting the "lids" and
wearing them.
Today, in the Echoes column. X. D. gives
his views concerning freshmen rules. He cites
the many advancements made by the Univer
sitv of Nebraska in recent years in abolishing
' hell" week, Olympics, and similar unnecessary
traditions. Then he winds up by saving, "Why
not have Nebraska be a leader in such affairs
instead of a follower?" But, poor fellow, he
gives us no clue as to what would lie a good
starter.
The clue, however, is not needed. We can
start right now and be a lender in doing away
with the green cap folly. Just as N. 1). says:
"They (the freshmen) have all passed through
the period of fun working and should be able
to take care of themselves without having to
obev rules befitting youngsters." Why single
out the humble first year men by requiring
them to wear those insidious caps and thereby
widen the breech between them and their
bigger brothers?
t
The tendency today in all schools of repute
is to break down all barriers between frosh
and upperclassmen. Home schools, fortunately,
have never had such an assinine rule as that
pertaining to the wearing of green caps. There
have been other traditions of a like nature, but
the majority of these institutions have been
wise enough to sec their mistakes and diseon
tinue these practices.
The few faithful Nebraska freshmen who
are wearing these caps, thinking they would
be penalized if they do not, should see further
what the Lincoln paper has to say about it:
"So far as the university itself is concerned
the caps may be worn or not accordingJo the
wish of the student."
If that's the case, freshees. and since
there's no enforcement of the rule in sight, we
see no need of your wearing of the putrid
little things.
Country Education Chained.
Because country school education is not
progressing or keeping abreast with general
trends in the educational field, pupils who at
tend it are handicapped materially in high
school and find university life four years later
much more difficult due to the poor foun
dation of fundamentals they have obtained.
That, declares James William Crabtree,
Secretary of the National Educational associa
tion, is one of the reasons country schools must

To the Editor of The Nebraskan:
Now that the school year has Marled in
earnest, there will be much evidence in tin
various schools of the ridiculous treat nicnl of
the rreshmiin by the uppcrclassiimii.
A brier but interest inp story giving a yw
at the amusement had by upcrclasscs in a
Wvoiniug school at the excuse or the fresh
men recently appeared in a local pnpo Kind
rules and regulations governing the lifo of
the frosh" on the campus were published.
The regulations were not beneficial but en
lirelv ridiculous.
There has been a noticeable change in the
attitude toward freshmen on the Nebraska
campus. The first year man is being looked
upon as being more of an epial and not merely
a terson to poke run at. Why should a per
son here tor the purpose or obtaining an edu
cation be put through a routine that is or no
benefit to him or to the ones who are enrorc
iug it?
There has been much agitation on the part
or the students themselves as well as out
siders to abolish all forms of hazing in aU
universities. The doing away with "hell week"
and with the Olympics at Nebraska was only
a" continuation of the nation wide movement
lo raise the level of the freshmen.
The movement must and will go still fur

young men and women, "no' as small children.

Dirfy Politics?
To the Editor of The Nebraskan:
Are politics really as "rotten" on the uni
versity of Nebraska campus as they are ac
cused of being? Or is the accusation made
by the men who are on the losing side and
feel that they are being cheated out of offices?
Which?
The condition of politics on this campus
in the past few years has bcome critical. It
is no longer a question of who is the best man
for the office but rather is the decision of
the strong partv as to which man they shall
place in the office. They meet and pick 1 lie
mnn they shall run for the office arid then
unite whole henrtedly in seeing that he is
elected.
The bulk of the criticism against this prac
tice is being made by the organizations which
are the "under dogs." And that they nre justi
fied in their arguments is clearly shown in
the makeup of several organizations on the
campus.
One organization, which is supposedly the
highest honor to be conferred on the campus,
is so full of rotten politics that it fairly reeks.
Membership in it is no longer governed by the
worth of the man but by the whims of Ihe
group which control it.
Tim inr-irlfTits in such organizations cause
one to ask: Are politics really rotten on the
Nebraska campus:

Contemporary Sentiments
Choosing Clubs.
Denver Clarion: The acaaon of clulm lias
just begun. Organizations are holding Iheir
first moelings of the year, establishing a new
regime of officials or proceeding under the
direction of old officials, planning the program
for the new season just opening before them.
Now is the time for every student to select
those clubs to which lie wishes to belong. A
certain amount of club activity is ncessary
for students who desire to be intimately con
nected with university life; an excess of clubs
causes an excess of isolation and of activity
along certain unvaried lines.
To prevent Buch an occurrence, the college
student must exercise a process of selectivity;
he must cluse ' clubs wisely, to fit his
schedule and his future plans, avoiding any
organizations that, although interesting for the
time ,are unproductive of fu'ure benefits.
