Gripo, in the student opinion column 'of
yesterday's Daily Nebraskan. presented ree
oinnieiidations for the control of rush week
activities which appear sound. He advocated
the triple card system instead of the duplicate
arrangement which has been used in the past
ly fraternities. Dates granted by rushees
should be of a limited number and kept faith
fully, according to Gripo, and pledging should
be withheld until after the cloe of rush week.
Responsibility, suggests Gripo. slu.uld rest
with the fraternities. The Greek letter combi
nations, under the proffered plan, would de
liver their rushees to the next lumsc and aiott.r
them to their abodes at the close of the rush
day.
The Daily Nebraskan has taken n.i actne
interest in the improving of rush week condi
tions during this semester, and continues to do
so. We like Gripo's suggestions.
Triplicate mh cards, with one section go
ing to the fraternity, another to the rushee
and the third to a committee of the interfra
tcrnity council would eliminate throat cutting
to a certain extent Fraternity rushing chair
men would be able to report violations to this
committee which, in turn, could check up on
the infraction and apprehend the fraternity at
fault. Such violations of the rule should be
dealt with severely.
This would insure the keeping of dates by
rnshees and reduce the practice of "holding
out" good men. Sweat sessions and high pres
suring would lose their power in the rushing
scheme if pledging were prohibited until the
rushing period closes.
Sunday morning The Daily Nebraskan will
present its own plan for rush week, together
with a recommendation to the interfraternity
council. Student contributions on the pledging
subject, no matter what stand the writers take.
will be published at the same time.

That feature in Wednesday's Nebraskan
aUrnt placing students on probation for "cut
ting capers" was an eye opener. Our sleuth
couldn't be located yesterday so we have no
further deTelopments on the case.
It seems strange, though. Is th artieh
an indication that the university authorities
are breaking their long time silence on such
matters as "student morale"! If so, they are
to be heartily complimented. And encouraged,
too. This might be a starter tow aid some more
"disclosures."
a
Dame Rumor has it that a coed left for
home the other day without saying a word to
anybody, forsaking even her own sorority.
Nothing startling about that, especially. Bui
the resultant effects. Consider them.
The girl was delinquent in four hours at
third quarter. She apparently became dissatis
fied and deserted university life. She was car
rying fifteen hours. She dropped none of them
"officially" before departing. Now the soror
ity will have fifteen black marks against its
scholastic record.
It would be unfair to say that this young
lady's notions were intentional. It would be
safer to say that they were based on lack of
sophistication. The young thing had not be
come acquainted with all the ways of sorority
life and the impending battle for scholastic
honors. She saw her opportunity and fled.
Nothing will be gained by broking down
and crying about the affair. The only thing
to do is to forewarn any others who might be
trucking intentions of this kind around. "Let
your organization know when you are going to
leave or at least drop your courses in good
standing," is this newspaper's advice to the
homesick.
Life on the literary sea is far from being
pleasant. Anyone who has ever tried to pub
lish a college literary magazine will shout an
ardent amen to this statement. And the inevi
table remit has been a gradual swallow inf up
of such fiitciprlwi In tha det-p waters.
Tha latrt departure of a eullt-giate ven
ture to route to our attention is that of the
WUcoiuin Literary inaRailue. After wtather
lr the atormy aca for a quarter of a century,
the editors found tiny were tint "Rettine; alone
ao good" either from a financial or a literary
point of view; krnee they decided to abandon
the ship.
Aa aM-cifie rraaona for gMntf up. the pub
lisher, in an official atatruicnt published in
the Daily Cardinal, official student newpaper
of the I'niveraity of Wuconain, declared that
the "obvious lack of bare ew.cntials to aucceaj.

tions, circulation, advertiaing. active atudeut
and faculty support makes It iiec-Kry for the

Turning to the University of NVbrnaku,
however, we are fortunate in finding a differ
ent aituation. Here, the Prairie Schooner, Nc

shown and is continuing to show remarkable
atrides. Announcement of the progre of the
work n the Winter number haa been made
by its editor. Dr. L O. Wimberly, who is aUo
a oirinber of the Knglish instructional depart
ment, and seemingly it will not be long until
it will make its appearance.
The Schooner editor, no doubt, has bad
his ahare of trials and tribulations, 'tut be ha
remained undaunted; he hn bcn able to hur
dle all of the obstacle and has succeeded in
raiding the standard of the magazine to rather
envious heights not only locally and nationally
but internationally as well.
"Nor has manna betn wanting," write
Dr. Wimberly in his "Ox Curt" section of the
lat edition following a summarization of the
"history " of his product. " We have our pood
angel, ail of whom wc should like to mention
here by name. Hut irood angels do not care
for public acknowledgment; hence we re

it. the Schooner of the University of Nebraska,
now steering toward its fourth jear of subsist

how tempestuous the sea and its waxes may
become.

week each semester the women on the campus
make all dates nd. presumably buy all the
necessary theater tickets, malted milks and

Aside from it novelty, the scheme has a
good many advantages and features which
might make it worth adopting at this univer

whether he was really high man with the little
blond from Wcx-nka or whether she preferred
to date some burly halfback.
Then the financial aspect is so attractive.
Not only would it be a relief for the girls to
foot the bills, but digging down into their own
poeketbooks for the price cf one evening's en

economical with their escort 'a money for the

" Individuality when properly expressed
cannot be denied."
Some great educator once said this. He
must have been great because that is one of the
primary constituencies of man which is under
developed, undernourished and the object of
no little scorn.
To be stereotyped like the rest of the
crowd brings the hearty approval of the ma
jority ot college men. To wear low shoes and
kid gloves xvhen the mercury sinks rapidly ana
snow furries into huge drifts is endorsed by
Joe College and his colleagues who apparently
set the style for the education seeking youth.
o a a
Want of comfort regardless of mimeo
graphed style edicts has accentuated the wear
ing of overshoes, commonly called "goolaw
shes" or boots, by some Nebraska men during
the period of cold and snow , which is now in
our midst. Unshaken by the derision of the
campus hero who wears up-to-the-minute crea
tions by so-and-so during bitter weather in or
der to catch the feminine eye or inform the rest
of us that he is really well dressed, a few pio
neers have blazed the trail to common sense
clothes wearing.
These pioneers are to be commended for
their individuality. They have turned away
from the snowbound herd who shiver from
class to class and in so doing have found ex
actly what individuality implies freedom of
expression and knowledge of comfort.
Is it because the others fear the price of
comfort will be too devastating upon their rep
utation that they refrain from donning the
boots? If that is the cause, we earnestly hope
they make that honorary or win that girl.
They xxill have realized something, then, at
least, even though it may not be sanity in
dress.
MODERN YOUTH UNGODLYf
Echoes of the Campus.
Laugh It Off!
To the Editor of The Nebraskan:
Yesterday The Nebraskan printed a letter
from a fraternity freshman. He described the
gradual disillusionment he had undergone with
regard to college life the cynicism he now
feels. It seems somehoxv tragic that a fresh
man should peer beneath the lid and see the
greasy machinery that underlies campus ac
tivities. Seniors, the paper believes, are cynical as
a matter of course. We regretfully agree with
this statement. But seniors are apt to have a
saving sense of humor. They are prone to see
the childish side of campus politics, the college
social whirl of the college itself. They are
lil-f.lv tn lnnab nd sav. "Well, they have a
j -
good time at it. Let them go their way.
them nlav on. We don't have to take
business seriously."
A freshman, however, who happens to dis
cover the inner workings of campus life, is very
apt to be embittered, i ne lcuer was vxnuen
bv a fraternity pledge. But he might well be
any fraternity pledge or any freshman,
sneaks for a class. It's too bad!

Tathfindcr: 'Modern youth ia
not ungodly!" la tha challenge
hurled at critic of the younger
generation by John Singleton, of
Chicago, who, not yet thirty, la
president of the Baptist young
peoples union. Another champion
of American youth demand: "Has
anybody figured out what percent
of the total young people under
twenty-three yeara of age are
criminals? Do wo emphasize the
total percent of youth under twenty-three
years of age in the United
State who have no criminal rec
ord?" Evidences of youth'a attain
ments are coming to view every
day. For example, the world re
cently heard of the twenty-five
year old Chicago artist. J. Theo
dore Johnson, who bad five of his
paintings accepted at tha annual
exhibition of the art Institute of
Chicago, two of whkh won prlrea
totaling S700.
At the age of twenty-seven, Wil

president of the Columbia Broad
casting company of New York,
which supplies programs to forty
three stationa scattered from
coast to coast.
The stories of wild "whoopee"
among American boya and girls
are mere traveler' tales, aay
workera of the American Social
Hygiene association, founded by
Dr. Charles Eliot of Harvard.
Many large cities and many statea
were covered in an investigation
and various phases and tendencies
of American youth were studied.
According to the editor of the as
sociation journal, "The reports are
altogether encouraging. Our work
ers do not find the alarming con
ditions In colleges and In the as
sociations of youth generally
which have been so sensationally
described."
One member of the association
says: "Youth baa been going thru
a transitional period since the
war. There was some moral dete
rioration following the war and
there was some ground for the
prevailing impression that youth
was running wild. In later years a
number of counteracting forces
have ben at work and youth is
finding itself again. I think the
account of intemperance among
young people have been greatly
exaggerated."
"Never in the history of the
world has there been such vilify
ing of the souls of youth as now."
states Dr. Lucius C. Clark, chan
cellor of American university. He
continues: "I cannot discover that
the youth of today, physically,
morally, mentally or spiritually, is
behind those of former days. The
attitude of the elders thru history
has been unvarying. Youth does
not suit them. Youth has gained
several years on the elders is
knowledge from the schools, from
motion pictures, travel, extrava
gant expenditure of money, sex
discussions and other facta and
factors that determine opinion."
According to Dr. Samuel D.
Price, of New York, everyone is
more or less flapperish. "A man
has been known to flap with
black rimmed glasses," he says.
"The flapper will continue to flap
regardless of the general opinion
of critics. Flapperism is an ex
pression of bubbling over human
nature, which is rather large in
most people.
Mrs. Charles Webster, church
worker among young folk for for
ty years, believes the flapper is
all right "It doean't matter how
short her dreas ia." she aver.
"They get more sunshine that way
and sunahine la the great thing
now."
"DUMB" STUDENTS.
McGUl Daily: Why do our col
lege students appear dumb? There
are the few of course who are far
from dumb, but a semblance to
being dumb. "Dumb" is the cur
rent slang for the outward expres
ron of "non copus mentis."
We submit our theory that such
coli students are, for the large
part, lik the herd who flock to our
cities, not actually unable to
think, but lacking the courage and
will power to think a thing through.
That is to aay, they cannot force
themselves to think along one con
tinuous line from a beginning
point to a finishing point on any
one subject, whether it is near
their heart or a chance idea which
has popped into the brain. Thus
many of those whom we say have
no brain, or do not know how to
use what they have, In reality have
these first two prerequisites but
are afraid of their own conclusions
and ao avoid them by not thinking
at all.
Besides this fear of one's own
conclusions, there is the pain of
thought which everyone who has
ever thought knows. The first
time the human brain ever thought
actively must have been a very
painful moment. In each person's
life the first moment of active
thought is Indeed painful. But
like the accommodation of muscles
to the wielding of pick and shovel,
the mind accommodates itself to
the turning of thoughts so that in
time thinking can indeed become a
pleasure exactly as the swinging
of a golf club.
The solution of this lies m mak
ing the initial attempt to think ac
tively, then to continue thought
along a definite line, and at last to
come to a conclusion and make a
decision one way or another and
to stand by this. It is, indeed, a
difficult but very worth while un
dertaking. The hardest part of
this task, the most intangible, is
the intermediate step of "thinking
it thru," like the stepping stone in
the midst of the stream over which
there is passage but without which
there is no way to the further
shore.
