Journal's sports writer, in hi column "I May

thought provoker, the "War of Dour Panels"

In our earn, pull the green shade over our eyes
and le. the rally problem ride. That, of course,
would be the line of least resistance. Follow,
ing it, people would bnuid the student publica
tion as "spineless," a label Riven it by Mr.
Grime in his delightful eonimentary on the
University of Nebraska.
As a matter of fact, opines the sports col
umnist. The Daily Nebraska?! was largely re
sponsible for the Friday morning. Nov. 2'J,
rally-riot preceding the game with Kansas Ag
ricultural college.
11 we took audi an important part in tho
fostering and plugging of the all-day-long
rally, why did certain reputable and prominent
Lincoln civic clubs telephone The Nebraskan
editor and ask him to for goodness '-sake stir
things up around the I'ornhuakcr campus?
The Daily N'cbraskan, as most of our sober
friends and pious opponents will admit, has
attempted to stay out of the fence straddling
class this semester. We have opinions and pre
sent them with what we consider logical back
ing. "We don't expect or desire everyone to
agree with us. If disagreement will occasion
aerious thought and consideration on the part
o our contemporaries our time is well spent.
On the subject of rallies we expressed mild
disapproval of certain types. Our student
opinion column was opeu to sensible discus
sions of the question and both fact ions ex
pressed themselves there.
"We were staunchly opposed to anything
In the nature of that Friday morning rebellion.
We felt and continue to feel that such conduct
on the part of university students is outrage
ous and unbecoming. Ilecnuse we feel thus
we are attempting to investigate tho matter
and arrive at some logical conclusions concern
ing the placement of responsibility. And the
Journal disseminator of sport opinion believes
that we are foolish for bringing it up again.
If The Daily Nebraskan suggested that the
Nebraska student body was "dead from the
nck up" it was only through the student opin
ion column. Opposed to this insinuation were
powerful stilt em cuts concerning ihe potency of
Cornlinkor spirit. We feci that Nebraska
spirit is something deeper than rah rail. U is
an intangible something that, may be destroyed
by saieh violent outbursts as those of that Fri
day moruing.
With or wivhout the approval of our friend,
the said author of the "I May B Wrong" string,
we shall continue to follow the dictates of our
conscience not our political faction nor our
influential readers. As the quill driver himself
suggests, "be may be wrong."
President Hoover Speaks Out.
The president of the Fnited States has just
given expression to his first general statement
of governmental policy since his inauguration.
In opening the present session of congress, he
bad a great deal to say about the tariff, tax
reduction, world peace, administrative effi
ciency, business and agriculture, waterways
and highways, public health, social service and
prohibition.
His appraisal of these highly important
problems merit, the consideration of every
thinking American. His message is more than
a message to a few legislators in Washington;
it is a message to the people of our nation.
The student who would prepare himself for a
useful citizenship should pay a great deal of at
tention to the utterances of the chief executive
of the land.
We do not want to convey the impression
of being cynical or removed fn,i the current
flow of interests when we say that a reading
of the president's message, or at least the high
points in it, is as incumbent upon the student
as is his perusal of the myriad of All-American
selection stories which are crowding our news
papers. A few energetic statements which the
president made with regard to the general
problem of law enforcement are particularly
worthy of emphasis. The student may readily
translate them, especially in the light of the
recent transgressions of our school spirit, in the
light of his own experiences and problems.
Said the chief executive: "The orderly
administration of the law involve more than
the mere machinery of law enforcement. The
efficient use of that machinery and a spirit in
onr people in support of law arc alike essential.
W have need for improvement in both. How
ever much we may perfect the mechanism, still
If the citizen who is himself dependent upon
laws for th protection of all tliat be na
and all that ho hold dear, shall insist on select
ing the particular lawn which he will obey, he
undermine his own safety and that of las
country."
"Ilia attitude may obscure, but it cannot
conceal, the ugly truth that the lawbreaker,
whoever he may be, is an enemy of society."
"I.aw cannot rise above its source in good
citizenship in what right-minded men earn
estly believe and desire. If the law is upheld
only by government officials, then nil law is at
an end.
Theso are the mature expressions of our
most influential public man. What he points
out is not original with him. His conclusions
result inevitably from the irresistible facts of
Hociety.
Good AVici.
Kiicouragiiig indeed is the iiiiiioiinceiueiit
that WOO has been cleared by Kosmet Klub
from its Thanksgiving morning revue. Ami
perhaps more appealing than ever is the fuet
that this money is to be used in disposing of n
ugly debt hanging over the Klub's shoulders.
The plight of this particular organization
is undoubtedly known to everyone who is inter
ested in university affairs. Marred by the re
suits of a disastrous fire of a few years ago,
Kosmet Klub has been courageously facing the
hardships and inconveniences in connection
with the wiping out of a huge obligation. To
be sure, the group merits ail the support it
can command.
Echoes of the Campus.
Give It a Itest.
To the Kdilor of The Nebraskan:
Nebraska's crop of queens, sweethearts,
honorary colonels and whatnot is well onto
maturity. Our sweetheart has been ollicialiy
designated and Friday night about five hun
dred students attending the military ball (half
of whom really can't afford it) will get enthu
siastic about the introduction of this year's
honorary colonel.
Honestly, we didn't mean to get sarcastic
about the honorary colonel, because it is surely
one of the few "traditions" of the university
that amounts to whoop. On the other hand, the
distinction of being accorded this honor has
been clouded by the multitude of titles that
are handed out yearly to Nebraska coeds.
The one redeeming feature about the aboli
tion of the Awgwan was that we won't have to
be bothered alnnit voting for another queen.
Last year it was the "western queen," and
I his year we were about to suggest that we go
east and elect a "bowery queen," whose pic
lure could have luken up a whole page of the
magazine. There wouldn't have 1 n much
work for anyone but the poor artist. Of course,
there would be some two or three dozen men
on the campus who would have to sprnd a min
ute or two stuffing the ballot box in the good
old Nebraska style, but on the oilier hand, the
male Cornhuskcrs have acquired a technique
in voting for the Nebraska honeys.
Our rantings, of course, will go the way
of most of the others of our contributions, but
anyway let's check some of this rowdy dow.
Our last suggestion is that some of the sister
hoods hire a good publicity agent to serve their
purpose instead of bothering the men students
every other Tuesday with some kind of an elec
tion'so that some of the sisters' pictures will
go on the front page. WF-AKY.
' Contemporary Sentiments p
The Value of a-Knocker.
The Torch (Valparaiso University) : A
"knocker" is that type of person who cannot
or will not praise anyone or anything. His
comments on the people or things or deeds
about him are always derogatory, always surly.
The milk of human kindness has apparently S.rsf
HOUIOO Wlinill mill. Jie IS, in sunn, n giumm, n
crank.
What an obnoxious fellow! Away with
him ! Of w hat possible value can he be? When
we have done our work well, yes, excellently,
and are resting in snug complacency, he shat
ters our peace of mind with his caustic chid
ings. He hurts our pride and wounds our self
esteem. Should we, then, allow him in our
midst? Should we hearken to his words when
they vex us?
Yes! Emphatically yes! Human progress
stops when dissatisfaction is silenced. The
"knocker" is our friend. He is the personifi
cation of that "divine discontent" which builds
empires. He is a noble being in the garb of a
churl. What a blessing that his reproaches do
come in such ungracious terms, for they rouse
uh from our self-oatisfied dreainings and stir
us to action.

The president's measage was
a suleiul d. couraa-ea ounne vi
IiIhthI policy. The president set
forth, lu clear, lucid term, a pro
gram of leKislatlon and escutlve
activity which should go a long
wav to deal the perplexities and
troublesome problems which besot
the country.
The message cenleied around
the present serious economic sit
uation. It seems that the sentiment
generally Is to the effect that this
country was on the verge of a
complete financial collapse, when
the over-Inflated stock market
bubble burst. The advoidanca of a
nation-wide and calamitous crises
Is the first task of the Hoover ad
ministration.
To this end, as the president In
dicated in his message, he "In
st 1 1 uted systematic, voluntary
measures of co-operating with the
business Institutions and with state
and municipal authorities to make
certain that fundamental business
of the country shall continue as
uncial that wages and mererore
consuming power shall not be re
duced, and that a special effort
Hhnll be made to expand construc
tion work In order to assist in
equalizing other deficits In employ
metit."
The president here had a refer
ence to the national economic
conference which he called during
the past two weeks, a hu.Tled
meeting with the great Industrial
leaders of America, to marshall
the economic forces of the nation
so that the worst might be
weathered. The president also
called upon federal and state ex
ecutives to go into as much con
struction work as possible as soon
as possible. In order to stimulate
business activity. This task of pre
venting a collapse of the business
structure of the country Is mak
ing heavy demands upon the Im
mense energy, experience and wis
dom of our chief execuUve. It Is
fortunate for the country that we
have a man In the White House
who Is big enough to take charge.
In the field of foreign relations,
the presidents most conspiclous
suggestion was his plea for ad
herence to the World Court. His
praise of the Kellogg peace pact
seemed to us a bit lavish. The
same day that his high evaluation
of this international declaration
of policy was given uttsrrme

This would rut the tax bill
down to about I li. ooo.ooo. As
for the tariff, he told the roiiKres
to hurry up and writ a tariff bill
Into law. He also emphatically ex
pressed his desire that the new
law retain ths flexible tariff
clause, the provision which the
democrats and Insurgents threw
out during the spcisl session.
Mr. Hoover pointed to "our con-
tlnuously mounting expenditures"
for military puriMwea, citing our
current bill, which will amount to
IT30.0O0.0OO this year, as a raiie
In point. lie recommended tint
Congress to take steps to cut this

In the field of business activity.

He suggested the revision or our
national banking laws to take care
of ths new situation which has de
veloped from the growth of chain
banking.
The president made some excel
lent suggestions with regard to
the administrative machinery of
the country. He urged a grneml
reorganization of all government
services along the lines of the most
advanced political science. Particu
larly did he express himself a
favoring a concentration of the
prohibition enforcement machin
ery In the department of Juctlce.

When Brotherhood Was in Flotcer.
Oklahoma Daily: Within the past five years
has been an appalling increase in the number
of "joiners" on this campus. More and more
students every year join organizations because
they are. interested or enthusiastic about the
particular body, but chiefly for the sake of
"belonging," or what is still more likely, for
the peculiar satisfaction derived from having
a lengthy list of names beneath their pictures
in the yearbook.
Such members not only derive little or no
benefit from their affiliations, but in turn in
jure the organizations to which they belong.
If they are conscientious they at best attend u
bare minimum of meetings while the large ma
jority even do not take as much interest as
that.
In view of the fact that the "joiner" injures
the organizations to which he belongs more
than he does himself, it is clearly the place of
the orders themselves to prevent his member
ship. Some organizations have already taken
steps in this direction by raising the standard
for membership. Others arc planning similar
measures to be effective within the next year.
