The Real Reason.
Rocommondation that the newly forimd
bsrb council b Riven the title "barb oxcrutivo
board" was made at the last meeting of. the stu
dent council. Thi. according to members r
the student council, was done to conform with
the policy of the governing body, which 1.
dimply that no other student group should hem
the name council.
This argument rakes a pertinent .juration.
How about the interfraternity council? Doesn t
it share the same basic title with the student
eouncilt "Why not .then, be consistent and re
quire the interfraternal assembly to change its
namet
The reason for the inconsistency is ap
parent when it is discovered that the Greek
body bat never been officially recognized by
the student council. The interfraternity council
existed long before the other one, and thus
far the latter has never gotten around to give
official sanction to the former.
The fact that the interfraternity council
has not received the approval of the student
council was not of any real import until the
last school year, when the control of the inter
fraternal organization was taken from the fac
ulty and vested in the hands of the students,
with a faculty adviser. As it is now, the inter
fraternity council is a student activity not
under the jurisdiction of the student council
but still responsible to the university senate.
To clarify our point let us quote the follow
ing extract from the account of a meeting of
th interfraternity council held February 21,
1 02!) : "The election of a student as president
if the council was made possible by an action
if the senate giving the council self govern
mi nt. The interfraternity council retained a
.'.ifiilty member to represent it on the faculty
.(.mmittee on student affairs."
Judging from these statements, the council
should now be on its own responsibility, having
st If government. If it is to have' this self
.ovcrnment, does it now follow that it should
have the official recognition of the student
.(.inicilt Other organizations on the campus
having self government bave received the ap
proval of the student council, so why exclude
t lie interfraternity council T
Another phase of the situation also ap
pears at this time. Here we seem to have the
serins for the reason that our interfraternity
council is so dormant. It has never been really
instituted as a student activity on the campus,
therefore why should it do anything? We can
hardly blame the leaders for being so lax in
their work since such is the case.
Forhaps this is just an apology given for
the utter lack of action. Perhaps the officers
have been cognizant of this fact all along and
consequently took advantage of their knowl
edge by regarding their positions as purely
honorary.
Whatever the thoughts entertained by
those at the helm, it is nevertheless a known
fact that the interfraternity council has abso
lutely fizzled out in so far as concerted action
goes. It has become one of the many laughing-stock
organizations on tbe campus, just be
cause its mission has been disregarded.
The primary step, then, is official recogni
tion of the interfraternity council by the stu
dent governing body. After it has received
proper acknowledgement of its existence on
the Nebraska campus, this group can go
on and be of actual service to mankind with
definite functions and proper jurisdictions and
authorities outlined and delegated to it.
Why the Gloom?
What's the cause of all the gloomy looks,
long faces and heavy frowns seen around the
campus? Students plod along as if half thu
miseries, worries and troubles of the world
were loaded upon their shoulders. Of course,
quarterlies have recently weighted us down,
but now that they are over they can't be
blamed for all this gloom. Are Nebraska stu
dents falling into a habit of appearing de
pressed ?
Now and then when an acquaintance
comes along someone bursts into a radiant
smile, but it lasts for only a minute and then
back he falls into a frown again. Many might
be called symbolic of the following verse from
Longfellow's poem, "The Rainy Day":
My life i cold and dark ond dreary;
It rain and th wind it never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering patt.
But the hope of youth fall thick in the blat,
And the day are dark and dreary.
It takes practically the same amount of
muscular action to smile as to frown, to throw
out the chest and hold up the head as to droop
If you are feeling good and are happy, look
the part. Laugh and the world laughs with
you you know the rest- If your grouchy
appearances are due to tight shoes or a sleep
less night, for the sake of your own happiness
and out of due consideration for the people
who have to work and play with yon, remedy
- these deficiencies.
Above all cheer up ! If yon have troubles,
grin and bear them. Do not pass np the last

As the curtain rises John saunters over to
this fellow. Hill, who is poring over a two bit
college fun magazine. John pauses a moment
and with a little quirk of a smile, interrupts
his engrossed friend's concentration over the
rotogravure section of said magazine.
JOHN: What ho, Hillie? What is it to

that dimple that Helenic maidens are so hot
about) Tonight?
JOHN: Yes. old man. tonight. How about
taking in a show?

and some iodine to put on my finger where the

Same setting ten minutes later. Bill is
prostrate on floor, John kneeling over him
sprinkling water on his pale brow. Crowd of
others surge around door.
VOICE: What happened. Johnnie?
JOHN: 'S terrible, men. He managed to
get a connection with the tri Phis in four hours
and ten minutes, a record. Never made in less
than five before. It was too much for him and
he fainted.
MORAL, if any: Sororities, dormitories,
women's and men's rooming houses, to say
nothing of fraternities, could afford to install
at least two telephones. Time saved would
more than pay.
Several "powerful" students are said to
have evidenced a measure of wonderment at
The Nebraskan's commendatory editorial on
the Kosmet Klub Friday. But that's just an
other indication that campus rumors, like poli
ticians' predictions, don't always pan out as
expected.
After all, it's the fence straddler and back
slapper who really achieves "success" on the
campus. The fellow with definite policies and
convictions is checked every time he moves.
Word comes now that the interfraternity
council has never been recognized by the stu
dent council. We always thought there was
something officially wrong.
Despite earnest pleadings of The Daily Ne
braskan news writers that "sparks of brewing
spirit must burst into flames," the campus still
seems to be intact

This la exactly what happened
to H. G. Wells. Mr. Wells was
once a first class novelist, but he
became afflicted with the Mes
sianic urre. with the result that
whereas he once wrote artistic and
widely appreciated novels, he la
now writing Insufferable diatribes,
secular bibles, and encyclopedia

the maxim that art and reform

If he has tbe Messianic Itch, he
would do well to put a little salve
on It, and forget it, rather than
scratch deeper.
rF all the brazen acts which have
ever been perpetrated in Wash
ington, where such acts are com
mon, the recent stunt of Senator
Binpham ranks with the best of
them. Senator Bingham, a former
Yale professor, is an old guard re
oublican from the good old repub
lican state of Connect icnt, where'
virtue is of the stern New England ;
sort. i
Publicity hounds have to share space with
others now that the Cornhusker haa begun
publication of studio appointments.
The honorable Mr. Bingham, a
member of the senate finance com
mittee, vaj appointed to a subcom
mittee which was to work on a re
vision of the textile schedule. Mr.
Bingham needed an expert to help
him and his subcommittee in their
deliberations. So he chose Charles
L. Eyanson, who was kindly
"loaned" to him by the Connecticut
Manufacturers association, of
which Mr. Eyanson was secretary.
It waa bad enough to have a
paid hireling of the manufacturers
association alt tn on the secret
meetings of the subcommittee.
But, Senator Bingham made a
complete Job of it, and put the ex
pert on the government payroll,
with a substantial salary. That
hurts; It's like rubbing salt Into a
bad wound.
